Two consecutive heavy blows finally resulted in a surge of intense pain for the woman, and her consciousness began to blur!
In her blurred state, she seemed to see the man grab her, then roughly pull off her helmet and stuff something hard into her mouth!

A Green Wood Fox measuring three to four meters in length was looking down at her.
The woman stared at it and attempted to rise, only to be slapped down again by the fox.
