Chapter 14 Honey Badger VS Brown Bear
Back in the space, Wu Yu summoned the Red Junglefowl's enhancement interface. The next round is the "First Round of Species Showdown," where combat will be the core.
After a moment's thought, Wu Yu decided to continue advancing the process of returning to antiquity and to supplement the basic attributes.
In the end, I exchanged three bottles of Rejuvenation Potion and one bottle of Speed Enhancement Potion.
The four potions took effect simultaneously, and the Red Junglefowl burst forth with a dazzling light.
After the light faded, the red junglefowl grew larger again, weighing 20 kilograms. Its feathers decreased again, and its wings lost their gliding function, instead becoming "balance wings" that facilitated running. Its tail became longer and stiffer, and its teeth became more densely packed.
[Native Species: Primitive Bird (7 million years ago) (Enhanced beak and leg features)]
Constitution: 6 → 7.5
Speed: 8 → 9
Endurance: 6 → 7
After seven million years of regression, it can no longer be called the Red Junglefowl; it should be called the Primitive Bird.
Wu Yu speculated that if we continued to go back to ancient times, we would probably enter the dinosaur stage.
.....
Li Xi was overjoyed with the 500 points he had just received, and in his excitement, he decided to fully enhance the hyena.
Li Xi chose to exchange for two bottles of Rejuvenation Potion and one bottle of Strength Enhancement Potion.
My native species: Hyena (two million years ago)
Constitution: 6 → 8
Speed: 6 → 8
Endurance: 6 → 7
After using the anti-aging potion, the hyena's size increased.
Antora and Archer also enhanced their respective natal species.
At this stage, most people prioritize using the Ancient Rejuvenation Potion, and then use the remaining points to exchange for some basic enhancement potions.
Very few people choose to exchange for trait enhancement potions like Wu Yu did. Archer was the only one who got a thousand points this time and exchanged them for an eye trait enhancement potion for the bald eagle.
Other countries without points can only stay in their own rooms, while their native species remain unchanged.
.....
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. During these two days, people in most countries tried to train the fighting abilities of their native species, even though it was of little use.
After all, two days of training won't make much of a difference.
Wu Yu only kept the primitive bird in a certain amount of training over the past two days; he was not worried about its fighting ability.
As creatures that have lived for over ten million years, primitive birds have no shortage of warlike and combative genes.
As the time came, all participants were once again teleported by Earth Online to a different space.
"The first round of the Species Duel National Fortune Competition is now beginning. This round of the Species Duel National Fortune Competition will be conducted by drawing lots to determine the opponents. The competition will be a single match. The winning country will receive a small reward, and the losing country will receive a small penalty."
[It's finally here! After waiting so long, the main event is finally here.]
Yes, the earlier matches are important, but the most important is this species' duel for national destiny.
This concerns the very survival of the nation; no one can afford to be careless.
Keep going, Wu Yu, we believe in you.
[South Korea: Lee Seok-oppa, you have to win!]
[Japan: Niu-kun, don't lose!]
[The US: Archer, show us our national spirit!]
The first-ever national competition to pit species against each other also filled the audience with passion.
The moment the rules were read out, a large screen appeared in front of everyone, with the words "draw lots" prominently displayed in the center.
As the draw button was pressed, everyone held their breath.
In the national competition of species duels, strength is indeed very important, but the competition is not only about strength, but also about luck.
Luck is also part of strength.
"The first draw is complete: António vs. *** (Poland)!"
[Poland: Oh!! Why did they have to pick someone from Russia?!]
[Russia: It's Polish! Looks like the outcome of this competition is basically a foregone conclusion.]
Regardless of how arrogant the Russian nation is, it has received several points rewards, which allowed it to revert to ancient times and strengthen its native species, the brown bear.
Secondly, the species chosen as the mascot by the Polish participants was the honey badger!
If you encounter a peacekeeper of similar size, there won't be any problem, but the native species of the Russian bear country is a brown bear, so no matter how you fight, you can't find any hope of victory.
The brown bear from Andonla, the Russian bear nation, and the honey badger from the Polish participant were simultaneously teleported to an open grassland arena.
The honey badger is less than one meter long and weighs only a little over ten kilograms, while the brown bear, after multiple regressions and strengthening processes, has reached a size of eight hundred kilograms and a height of over three meters when standing, resembling a moving small mountain.
The Polish participant, pale-faced and trembling, whispered, "How could we possibly win..."
The honey badger, however, showed no fear. It lowered its body, let out a threatening roar, and charged at the brown bear.
This is in the nature of the honey badger; no matter how strong the opponent, it never backs down.
Antora remained calm and gave the brown bear only a simple instruction: "Finish this quickly."
The brown bear took a step, and the ground trembled slightly.
The honey badger nimbly circled around to the side and rear of the brown bear, attempting to bite its ankle, but the brown bear's thick fur and layer of fat acted like natural armor, and the honey badger's teeth could only leave shallow marks.
The brown bear didn't even lower its head; it simply raised its forepaw and casually slapped it down.
"Bang!"
The heavy bear paw slammed down like a boulder. Although the honey badger dodged quickly, it was still hit by the force of the paw and rolled several meters away.
Before it could get up, the brown bear had already strode up and slapped down with its other paw.
"boom!"
The ground was cracked, and bits of grass mixed with soil flew everywhere.
The honey badger was pressed directly into the ground by the bear's paw. It struggled desperately, but could not budge an inch.
The brown bear lowered its head, opened its huge mouth, and easily bit the honey badger's back.
"Snap!"
The sound of bones cracking was clearly audible. The honey badger's struggle abruptly ceased, its body limp.
[In Andonla, the land of the Russian bear, the native brown bear triumphs! In Poland, the native honey badger dies.]
[The Russian Empire receives a national fortune reward: mineral resource extraction efficiency to increase by 10% in the coming week.]
Poland is facing a national punishment: a minor earthquake (magnitude 3-4) is expected within the country in the coming week.
[Russia: Well done, brown bear! Now we don't have to worry for the next week.]
[The Russian Empire: This is only the first time, and they've already given such a generous reward. Won't the rewards be even better in the future?]
[Poland: What bad luck! Our first national competition in the species duel has run into such a formidable opponent.]
The battle lasted less than twenty seconds from start to finish.
The chat in the live stream paused briefly before quickly flooding the screen:
This is absolute dominance...
The honey badger is brave, but the size difference is too great.
The strength of a brown bear is probably only rivaled by a few top predators.
I feel that bringing Wu Yu would yield the same result.
There's no way around it, brown bears are just too strong; they're not something ordinary creatures can contend with.
Antora retrieved the brown bear, his expression unchanging. It was just killing a honey badger; there was nothing surprising about it.
