"The beasts started killing each other."
Smiles appeared on their faces as they decided to wait and see.
The beasts fought for more than half an hour, leaving corpses everywhere. The white lion was the final winner. Blood from other beasts had added red to its snowy fur. It stood before the gap and growled at the rest of the beasts, indicating that they were his prey. The beasts backed off and left the prey for the king of the beasts.
The beast herd was gone, but the strongest one of them all, the white lion, was still waiting outside. As it clawed at the hole, the opening became larger, so it would not be long before Yang Dian and Ned had nowhere to hide.
Their hearts sank to the bottom.
Ned bit his lips and said, "Your wounds are too severe. You be the bait, and maybe I can live."
