"Nan Yu, be careful!"
From a distance, Xingzhou yelled in alarm, momentarily disorienting Nan Yu.
By the time she regained her senses, she had missed the best opportunity to escape.
The lion's bulky body forcefully pinned her to the ground, leaving her unable to move.
Its jaws were wide open, displaying dangerously sharp teeth.
A mere gentle bite would have been enough to completely sever her neck.
Nan Yu clenched her lips tightly, forcing herself to stay calm, with a dark cold light shimmering in her eyes.
She discreetly moved her hand toward her waist, where a dagger was tucked away.
If the lion dared to bite down, she would not hesitate to slice through its neck.
"Roar—"
Another long, furious roar erupted.
Nan Yu drew her dagger, her eyes darkening.
Xingzhou's frantic voice could still be heard nearby.
"Nan Yu, don't move at all, I'm coming to save you right now."
"Xiaoba, come here quickly, your food is here, don't bite her!"
