Edric saw the Feren crouched on the ground, trembling, and a surge of uncontrollable worry rose in his heart. But he knew this was not the time to show weakness. He raised the stick high, his eyes still fixed on Asra Lion, his gaze firm, showing unwavering determination. His tense body prepared to face the imminent attack, but he also felt some helplessness in his heart. He knew that the weapon in his hand would be difficult to deal with the powerful Lion, but he couldn't back down, he couldn't give up.
He took a deep breath, then loudly said to Feren, "It's normal to be afraid, young man! But you can get through this!" His voice was firm and powerful, hoping to inject some courage into Feren. His gaze turned back to Lion, and his heart instantly tightened, ready to face the impending danger.
Afterwards, Asra Lion suddenly pounced, its speed astonishingly fast, and in an instant it was in front of Edric. Edric swiftly dodged, although the claws of the Lion grazed his arm, tearing his skin, he successfully avoided a direct attack. Blood gushed from the wound, staining his clothes red, but he did not feel pain. His mind was highly focused, with only the thought of defeating the Lion and protecting Feren echoing in his heart.
Seizing the moment when the Lion lost its balance, he fiercely swung the wooden stick in his hand, striking the head of the Lion. The stick left a deep mark on the Lion's helmet, and the sudden attack caused the Lion to stagger, emitting a deafening roar, clearly being significantly provoked.
The furious roar of the Lion was deafening, and its figure pounced on Edric like lightning, instantly overwhelming him. Its powerful forelimbs pressed like steel onto Edric's chest, the immense pressure making it difficult for Edric to breathe, each breath becoming painful and difficult. Its snarling mouth opened wide, revealing sharp cheetah-like teeth, as if it wanted to bite off Edric's head. Lion's saliva splattered on Edric's face, the cold, sticky sensation making him more alert.
Edric felt the danger to his life, gripping a stick tightly in his hand, his muscles tensed, trying his best to insert the stick into Lion's mouth to stop its attack. The stick bent and nearly broke under the enormous pressure, but still stubbornly prevented Lion's mouth from getting closer.
Lion's eyes burned with a wild fire, as it struggled to break the wooden stick blocking its way. Its teeth left deep marks on the stick, and its strength was so immense that it made Edric feel like his wrist was about to break.
In this moment of life and death, Edric desperately gathered all his strength, and his fist struck Lion's nose like lightning. With a dull thud, the punch hit the target hard, causing Lion's head to jerk backward and eliciting a painful howl. In this brief opportunity, Edric pushed Lion with force, agilely rolling to the side and escaping its suppression.
Edric felt the pain in his chest, which seemed to be deformed from the pressure, but he didn't have time to feel the pain. He quickly got up, the stick in his hand was already bent, but he still held it tightly. His gaze was fixed on Lion, ready to respond to the next possibly more frantic attack at any time.
Amid the frenzy of attack and defense, Lion seemed to realize Edric's determination and tenacity. The madness in its eyes slightly solidified, then instantly disappeared into the dense forest. Its figure quickly vanished into the shadows of the trees, leaving only a few splashes of mud and a low growl. Edric immediately realized that it might turn to attack the weaker Feren, his heart tightened, and he immediately rushed towards the still crouching Feren who dared not move.
Edric quickly ran to Feren's side, bent down, and forcefully helped him up. Feren's face was pale, his legs trembling slightly, clearly experiencing great fear and shock. Edric looked at his young face, knowing that he couldn't let fear take over his mind at this moment.
Without any extra explanation, Edric's palm struck Feren's face hard. This slap instantly brought Feren back to his senses. He felt the fiery pain on his face, but at the same time, he also felt Edric's determination and expectation in his eyes.
"Pull yourself together, Feren!" Edric shouted, "We can't stay here, we need to leave quickly. You're a man, I believe you can do it!"
Feeling Edric's expectations and encouragement, Feren gritted his teeth and tried to steady himself. His hands trembled slightly, but he clenched them into fists and nodded, indicating that he was ready.
Edric quickly surveyed the surrounding environment, ensuring that Lion did not reappear. He understood that they had to take this opportunity to escape quickly, as the consequences of being found by Lion again would be unimaginable. He tightly held Feren's hand and hurried towards the edge of the forest. Feren also struggled to keep up with his pace, their hearts filled with anxiety and anticipation, hoping to safely leave this deadly forest.
After a frantic escape, Edric and Feren finally reached the edge of the forest. They felt a hint of joy and relief, but there was no sense of relaxation. Edric's experience told him that danger often strikes at the most unexpected moments. He kept his eyes fixed on the trees, ready to respond to any sudden developments.
And Feren widened his eyes, staring at the surrounding environment, his heart filled with anxiety. Suddenly, he caught an unusual movement in the grass with his ears. His intuition told him that it was definitely not the sound of the wind, but something was wriggling and approaching them.
In a daze, Feren saw Edric distractedly looking in another direction, completely unaware of the danger in the grass. Feren's heart tightened, and without hesitation, he rushed towards Edric, using all his strength to knock him to the ground. His movement was as fast as lightning, almost completed in an instant. And his action also happened to evade the sudden pounce of the Lion from the grass. The Lion was very fast, its figure almost too quick to react to.
Lion The claws drew a terrifying arc in the air, and Feren could feel the fierce breath coming towards him. But luckily, it was only pouncing on empty air. With Feren's timely reaction, he and Edric successfully avoided this deadly blow. Lion missed its target and crashed into a nearby tree, emitting an angry roar.
