Chapter 37
C37 – The Terrifying Scar!
The Fiery-eyed Lion limped, its right foot oozing blood.
Out of nowhere, its third eye unleashed five or six fireballs that screamed toward Lee Tian.
The fireballs were formidable, radiating intense heat. Lee Tian felt the scorching temperature even before they neared him, and the weeds at his side burst into flames.
With the fireballs closing in, he tapped into his Agility talent to deftly evade each one.
The Fiery-eyed Lion was taken aback to see such a tiny creature dodge its fiery assault with such ease, feeling both shock and an unexplained sense of threat.
It knew that failing to swiftly eliminate this ‘ant’ would lead to unending problems.
With that thought, the lion’s barrage of fireballs grew even more vicious.
Lee Tian was relentlessly pursued across the grass, nimbly darting to and fro, putting some distance between himself and the beast.
The Fiery-eyed Lion followed in hot pursuit, but its limp slowed it down, forcing it to rely on frequent fireball attacks.
Suddenly, it halted and swung around to bellow at the Scarface Swordtooth Tiger, “Come help me finish him off!”
But as it turned, it was met with another shock.
The Scarface Swordtooth Tiger was attempting to stealthily retreat!
Enraged, the Fiery-eyed Lion launched a fireball that sent the Scarface Swordtooth Tiger spinning back around, too terrified to attempt another escape.
“Please, have mercy! I’m on my way to assist you!” the Scarface Swordtooth Tiger wailed in despair as it trudged back.
Just then, a streak of green lightning burst from the underbrush, landing squarely on its back—it was Green!
Green moved with precision and speed, leaping onto the Scarface Swordtooth Tiger’s back. Without hesitation, it clamped its jaws onto the tiger’s neck.
The sound of venomous fangs sinking into flesh echoed as the Scarface Swordtooth Tiger howled in agony.
In that instant, Green began to furiously pump poison into its victim.
The Scarface Swordtooth Tiger, now seething with rage, thrashed wildly in a desperate attempt to dislodge the Great Green Snake from its back.
Due to the Scarface Swordtooth Tiger’s massive size, Green simply wasn’t long enough to wrap around it effectively. As the tiger shook its body vigorously, Green was promptly flung off.
Yet, one of Green’s teeth got lodged in the tiger’s neck and snapped off.
“My tooth!” Green cried out in agony, a mix of anxiety, rage, and heartache overwhelming it.
But as the even more enraged Scarface Swordtooth Tiger charged at it, Green had no choice but to swallow its complaints. It had to make a run for it—that was the task Lee Tian had assigned. Lee Tian needed Green to distract the tiger, allowing him to concentrate on the Fiery-eyed Lion.
The Fiery-eyed Lion, witnessing the Scarface Swordtooth Tiger entangled by a snake, heaved a resigned sigh. It seemed it couldn’t rely on the tiger for assistance.
Just then, it sensed a menacing presence closing in.
Turning sharply, it was stunned to see a dark figure lunging at it, brandishing two chillingly gleaming scythes.
It was Lee Tian!
With a thunderous roar, the Fiery-eyed Lion swiftly backed away, narrowly evading Lee Tian.
But it wasn’t quick enough; a deep gash was slashed across its face, stretching from the left eyebrow to the right corner of its mouth, looking frightfully ghastly.
This new wound was far worse than the scar marring the face of the Scarface Swordtooth Tiger.
Yet, the scars on their faces were a terrifying sight to behold.
