"Young Master Gu!"
Amid the hunters' heart-wrenching cries, Gu Shaoyang was hit in the chest by the bear's huge paw.
A strong adult black bear could hit with a force of more than a thousand pounds, so it was normal for it to hit a vital point and kill a person. This mutated bear was twice the size of a normal black bear, so it was easy to imagine how powerful its paw strike was.
No one had expected this bear to be so cunning. It knew how to play dead and made Gu Shaoyang a sacrifice.
All the hunters felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave!
This hunting team was like a gold farming team in an online game, and Gu Shaoyang was the boss. He paid a lot of money to hire everyone to hunt the giant bear. In the end, everyone was fine, and he was the only one who lost his life.
How were they going to explain this?
If Gu Shaoyang was an ordinary financier, they would have lost nothing more than their reputation. But Gu Shaoyang was a direct descendant of the Gu family in Beijing. How could the Gu family remain indifferent when such a big thing happened?
The Gu family could easily put them in a life or death situation with just a flick of their fingers!
Even Brother Kui, who was an Extraordinaire, was ashen-faced.
No one noticed that the moment Gu Shaoyang was hit by the bear's paw, a golden light flashed across his body.
Bang!
Gu Shaoyang staggered back two steps, his mind blank.
When the bear stood up and attacked him, the shadow of death instantly shrouded his heart. The great fear made it difficult for him to breathe, and he could only watch as the bear's paw struck his body with terrifying power.
Gu Shaoyang closed his eyes, thinking that he was definitely going to die!
All of his pride and ambition had vanished into thin air and ceased to exist.
Then, this direct descendant of the Gu family was stunned.
He opened his eyes in a daze and found that he was safe and sound. The ferocious bear in front of him swayed a few times and fell to the ground again.
This time, it was really dead.
The bear was dead, but Gu Shaoyang was still alive and well. He was not injured at all!
He raised his hand and touched his chest in disbelief. After confirming that he was really fine, he laughed loudly.
"Hahaha, I'm fine. I'm still alive. I'm still alive!"
It was great to be alive.
"Young Master Gu!"
Brother Kui, who had just reacted, pulled Gu Shaoyang back and put some distance between them and the bear to prevent the same thing from happening again. They would not be so lucky every time!
"I'm fine."
After all, Gu Shaoyang wasn't an ordinary person. He quickly calmed down and said, "Let's see if this bear is dead!"
"I'll go take a look."
Brother Kui let him go and personally went to check on the giant bear.
"He's really dead this time."
The supernatural being looked at Gu Shaoyang strangely. "Young Master Gu, are you also a supernatural being?"
He had clearly seen the giant bear's counterattack before it died. If it were him, he wouldn't have been able to block that attack either.
And now, Gu Shaoyang didn't even lose a single hair.
It was truly inconceivable!
"Superhuman?"
Gu Shaoyang subconsciously shook his head. "I'm not a superhuman."
If he was a supernatural being, then his status in the family would be completely different.
Kui couldn't help but frown. "Then how …"
"Right!"
Gu Shaoyang's expression changed as he suddenly recalled something.
He immediately pulled open his collar and pulled out a dazzling yellow gold medallion from inside his clothes.
The words "Death Exemption" engraved on the gold medallion were very eye-catching. However, its surface was covered with tiny cracks, and its color was a little dim, as if it had encountered a disaster.
"Death Exemption Medallion!"
Gu Shaoyang said excitedly, "It can really save me from death! It saved me!"
This Death Exemption Medallion was a gift from his mother, Yan Zhilan, for his 25th birthday. It was said to be worth 100 to 200 million yuan. Wearing it could protect him from a fatal blow once, which was equivalent to saving his life.
Gu Shaoyang didn't quite believe it. He couldn't figure out how a gold medallion could have such a miraculous effect. However, he didn't want to go against his mother's wishes, so he always wore it.
Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that this Death Exemption Medallion would really save his life!
Brother Kui's expression was a little strange.
He really did know about the Death Exemption Medallion, and he knew more about it than Gu Shaoyang. Legend had it that this mysterious item could withstand an all-out attack from a Rank A superhuman, so it was extremely expensive.
However, Brother Kui had only seen related news on the Intranet forums. This was the first time he had seen the real thing.
He felt extremely lucky. If Gu Shaoyang didn't have the Death Exemption Medallion, he would have to run for his life.
"Young Master Gu, I'm sorry!"
Brother Kui sincerely apologized to Gu Shaoyang. "I didn't pay attention to my safety just now. I've caused you a great loss."
"It's okay."
Gu Shaoyang waved his hand magnanimously and said, "It's not your fault. I was too careless."
It would be a lie to say that he didn't have any complaints about Brother Kui. However, if Gu Shaoyang didn't even have this much magnanimity, then he might as well be a young master of a wealthy family who was just waiting to die. He could forget about coveting the huge family business of the Gu family.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died!
He said to the hunting team members, "Don't worry, everyone. The bounty and rewards for all of you won't be any less!"
Cheers rang out again!
More than an hour later, a transport helicopter arrived at the location of the hunting team.
Under the concerted efforts of the hunting team members, the giant bear that weighed more than 500 kilograms was lifted away by the helicopter.
Gu Shaoyang didn't choose to leave by helicopter. Instead, he embarked on the return journey with the hunting team.
This bear hunting experience was destined to be one of the most profound memories in his life!
…
Two days later.
Zuo Yi, who was at home in Linjiang's old house, received a call from Yan Donglai.
That night, Zuo Yi went to the third floor of the west field to meet the master of the Yan family in Jiangnan.
"Your Death Exemption Medallion is popular!"
As soon as they met, Yan Donglai said to him, "There are many people coming to buy it now!"
In order to raise funds to purchase the land in Linjiang Town, Zuo Yi personally made 100 Death Exemption Medallions. Except for the first one that was used for testing, the remaining 99 were entrusted to Jiabao for auction.
Jiabao's publicity operation for the Death Exemption Medallion was quite successful. The average price of the Death Exemption Medallion that was auctioned in the first few batches was close to 200 million yuan, which caused a certain response in the inner world.
However, the situation of the latest batch wasn't very good. The transaction price dropped a lot. If the Yan family hadn't bought a few of them to boost the market, the situation would have been even worse.
The reason was that there were some rumors, saying that the effect of the Death Exemption Medallion wasn't as good as advertised, and that the Yan family was hyping it up.
Yan Donglai wasn't afraid of crooked shadows, but these rumors inevitably had a considerable impact on potential buyers.
Now, Yan Donglai was very proud and elated, "One of my nephews was saved by your Death Exemption Medallion!"
