First Encounter

Ryan’s eyes were hollow, with a blank expression lying on the ground, and he suddenly coughed violently. He felt that his chest organs were stirred up as they convulsed violently.

With another mouthful of blood vomited, his whole body was bent almost to the ground, and it took a while before he slowly stood up.

He felt that the whole world had collapsed. There was no way back, and the entire person was like being emptied of the strength to breathe, and living seemed to have become a burden.

Gradually, his body weakened to the point where he did not even have the strength to maintain his human form. After a violent fit, he transformed into a depressed golden-furred lion. He felt like he was dying, but he could not afford to fight for his life. Maybe it was better to die like this so that he would be relieved. Those lifeless eyes of his were closed, waiting for death to come.

Ryan did not know how long he had spent in such drowsiness when suddenly he heard the sound of footsteps approaching. He could still smell keenly to know that the approaching was a female, and Moussa had the same sweet smell. Could it be that Moussa had returned to look for him?

This idea made him excited. Bracing his weak beast body, he struggled to his feet and staggered outside the cave.

The smell was getting closer and closer. Ryan saw a blurred figure about the same height as Moussa and pounced on her with his last ounce of strength. This time he said he wouldn’t let her slip away from him.

“Ah!” Tian Xin was suddenly pounced on the ground by a golden-haired lion and screamed in fear. There was only one thought in her mind, and it was entirely over.

Anyway, she could not run away from the lion. So she did not struggle and closed her eyes to die. Hey, how did she get so unlucky? Her grandfather forced her to go up the mountain to pick herbs and never thought that she would fall off the cliff and end up in this uninhabited place in the middle of nowhere. She was pounced on by a giant lion, not even two steps away. What a good thing, she fell off the cliff and didn’t die, but she became the lion’s meal.

Tian Xin waited for the expected pain of being shredded, but it did not happen. Could it be that it considered where to eat, or was she too thin and it wanted to fatten her up before eating?

Tian Xin sneakily opened her eyes to take a look. Wow, this big lion was lying on top of her. This was too weird. Was this an old lion that didn’t even have the strength to eat her anymore?

Tian Xin thought so and had no idea where her courage came from. She opened its mouth to see how many teeth it had. She considered that the horse’s age depended on its teeth, and the lion should be similar to it.

Tian Xin looked at it for a long time, but she did not know how old it was, so she gave up. She was exhausted from lifting this big lion away from the body, and she then sat on the side, breathing heavily.
