But this was also the best method Suo Lun could think of, the one with the highest chance of success.
Fortunately, everything had happened according to plan. All along the way, not only was Turing Duo tormenting Suo Lun, but her whip also frequently and unceremoniously lashed at the Lion-Tiger Beast, instilling in it a sense of hatred and a feeling of commiseration with Suo Lun.
Moreover, to curry favor with the beast's heart, every time the Lion-Tiger Beast was beaten, Suo Lun would soothe it. When it was time to eat, he would also sneakily toss meat to it.
Finally, Suo Lun's efforts along the journey paid off at the very last moment.
The only thing Suo Lun was uncertain about now was whether his sword had killed Turing Duo?

The Lion-Tiger Beast ran wildly, wildly, for several hours, not knowing how many hundreds of miles it had covered, until it ventured deep into the vast mountain range, feeling secure only upon entering the mountains.
