Edric feels not only the pain in his body, but also the fear in his heart. He knows clearly that he has no chance against this Asra Lion. He must find a way to escape this deadly trap as soon as possible. Every movement causes him a sharp pain, but he knows he can't stop, he can't give up.
He takes a deep breath, enduring the pain, slowly lifting his upper body off the ground. His hands dig deeper into the mud, searching for support. Then, he slowly contracts his legs, assuming a crouching position. Every detail of this movement requires his full attention; he can't make a sound, he can't let the Lion sense his presence.
His eyes were tightly fixed on the nearby Asra Lion, praying that it wouldn't turn around. His palms were already wet, but he knew he couldn't hesitate. Edric tried to steady his breathing, but he could hear the sound of his own heartbeat, unusually clear in the dead silence of the forest.
He began planning his escape route, needing to find a way to divert Asra Lion, or a fast route to flee. His mind quickly analyzed every possible scenario, every potential risk. He knew that once he started, there would be no turning back. He had to be fully prepared and then, without hesitation, run towards the hope of life.
Edric's every move is filled with caution and tension. His gaze shifts from the bushes to Asra Lion, then back to the bushes. He knows he must find a relatively safe place before the Lion notices him.
His hands and feet move carefully in the muddy ground, trying to minimize any sound. Every time his foot slips in the mud, his heart jumps. His breath becomes short, and he tries to calm himself down, but fear makes his body tremble involuntarily.
He walked very slowly, and with each step forward, he would slowly turn his head to make sure that the Asra Lion was still enjoying its feast. Edric dared not imagine the scene if the Lion suddenly turned its head, and he could only pray that it would continue to focus on its food.
The process of walking towards the bushes seemed incredibly long, and every nerve in Edric's body was highly tense. In his heart, he couldn't help but feel a hint of gratitude towards the massive body of Da Shan. Da Shan's huge body had won him precious time, giving him the chance to find a hiding place. He knew that if it weren't for Da Shan's "sacrifice," he might have already become the food of the Lion by now.
Finally, he reached the thicket, and his body slowly blended into the lush greenery. He felt the shelter and safety that the thicket provided, but he knew it was only temporary. He had to come up with a plan for the next step, and it had to be quick. He took a deep breath again, trying hard to calm himself down and began to think about his next move. In this dead silent forest, there was only the sound of his heartbeat and the distant noise of wild beasts tearing flesh, echoing in this desolate and terrifying land.
In Edric's anxiety and fear, he was completely unaware that he was not the only life hiding in this thicket. In another corner of the thicket, the young Feren was tightly holding onto his Terra Pigs, their bodies trembling. Feren's eyes were filled with fear; he had never seen such a terrifying scene, and the barbarity and cruelty of the Asra Lion made him unable to not feel fear.
Feren struggled to maintain steady breaths, his fingers tightly gripping the fur of Terra Pigs as if seeking comfort from it. Terra Pigs also sensed the danger around them, pressing its body close to Feren and fear evident in its eyes.
Suddenly, Feren felt movement in the bushes. He carefully turned his head and saw Edric. Feren's heart raced; he didn't know if Edric was friend or foe, but he knew it was not the time for greetings. He could only try to keep himself and Terra Pigs still, avoiding catching Edric's or, worse, Asra Lion's attention.
Edric's gaze remained tightly fixed on Asra Lion, his nerves stretched to the limit. Feren could see his fingers trembling, which made Feren realize that, like Edric, they were both struggling insects trying to survive in this dangerous forest.
Feren bit his lower lip tightly, knowing they had to find a way to escape from here, but with Asra Lion still nearby, it was almost impossible. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He knew that fear would only make the situation worse. He began to calculate in his mind what he should do if the situation became very bad. Every possible scenario made him feel hopeless, but he knew he had to persevere, no matter what happened next.
At this moment, Terra Pigs seemed unable to bear such terrifying pressure and suddenly darted away from Feren. The sound of rustling suddenly appeared, startling Edric, who quickly turned his head and suddenly saw a young man with a terrified expression emerging from the bushes. Edric tried to express his dissatisfaction with his eyes and angry gestures, glaring and then clenching his fists, angrily gesturing to Feren to quiet down. Feren understood his meaning, but could not control Terra Pigs that had already rushed out of the bushes.
The movements of Asra Lion stopped, and it raised its head, its six eyes shining coldly in the direction of Terra Pigs. The sound of Terra Pigs racing echoed in the forest, evidently attracting the attention of this Lion. In this moment, time seemed to stand still, and a tense and dangerous balance formed between Feren, Edric, and Asra Lion.
Feren felt like his body was frozen, and he could see Edric's tense expression and angry eyes. He knew he had messed up. He also knew that the movement of the Terra Pigs could likely expose their hidden position. He looked at Edric, wanting to apologize, but the words were stuck in his throat and couldn't come out.
Edric was also trying hard to stay calm. He knew that if Asra Lion found them, their fate would be very tragic. He tried to calm himself down, even though he really wanted to roar at the careless young man. He knew that now was not the time to be angry. He took a deep breath, trying to slow down his heartbeat, but his eyes still dared not leave the movements of Asra Lion and Terra Pigs. He could only pray that the Lion wouldn't notice them and give them enough time to find a way to escape.
