Chapter 46 (2/2)

The beast had a silver color, as if showered by moonlight, which made it eye catching in the dark night.

“A Silver Lion?”

It was one of the dominators of Mount Thorn!

“What do we do?” Zhao Chen was pale and helpless.

He was a student who hadn’t gone through many things. His heart was filled with fear by this encounter with such a fearsome beast at night.

“We can only fight it…”

Gloomily, Shen Zhe looked ahead.

He had learned a battle technique and illuminated two stars, but he had never been in a real battle. He was also under tremendous pressure.

Sha! Shua!

Not expecting that the prey would escape its attack, the Silver Lion stared at them coldly and licked its teeth, while it paced and waited for a chance.

Cold wind was rising. The woods seemed to be in winter time. Immense pressure was tearing them apart.

Hooo!

The beast roared and pounced.

The wind blew apart the stones and dry leaves on the ground.

Knowing that fleeing meant exposing his back to the beast, Shen Zhe gritted his teeth and charged at it.

Crouching and stomping, he unleashed the power of his whole body.

After he reached the Stage of Unity, his skin, muscles, veins and bones had been condensed and coordinated into a whole.

Shen Zhe dodged the beast’s attack like a shooting arrow. Then he slapped back.

Sensing the danger, the Silver Lion changed its course and raised its paw.

BAM!

After the collision, Shen Zhe was forced to take almost ten steps back, and the Silver Lion also stepped back in surprise.

Obviously, it never occurred to the beast that a slim human being could be its match physically.

“Are you all right?”

Zhao Chen hurried to check him.

The Silver Lions had become the dominators of Mount Thorn because of their capabilities. Their adults were as strong as level-one Martial Artists. They were among the herb collectors’ greatest threats.

“I’m fine!”

Shen Zhe shook his head and narrowed his eyes after summoning the power of the stars.

He did not win, but he was much more confident.

The Silver Lion found another chance and charged again. Shen Zhe was about to fight back, when the beast turned around and whipped its thick tail at Zhao Chen.

“Crap…”

Shen Zhe squinted and moved fast.

The beast was smart enough to feint an attack when its real target was Zhao Chen!

BAM!

Not expecting the ambush, Zhao Chen raised his hand to block it but he was too slow. He was hit in the chest and flung against a tree, not moving anymore.

“Zhao Chen…”

In his anxiety, Shen Zhe was even faster and reached the Silver Lion in the blink of an eye. He then smacked the beast.

BAM!

The Silver Lion was blown away and it rolled on the ground. It gazed at the young man warily.

“I’m Greatly Fluent at Falling Leaves Palm now?”

Shen Zhe was relieved after taking a few deep breaths.

After his training in the afternoon, and since he was eager to save his friend just then, he made another breakthrough and reached the fourth level of the Falling Leaves Palm!

His capabilities had increased by eighty percent.

Sensing his power, the Silver Lion was even more vigilant and began to hesitate.

“Hoooooo!”

Right then, a wolf howled somewhere far away.

The Silver Lion suddenly turned around and disappeared into the infinite darkness.

“You’re leaving?” Shen Zhe was stunned.

Confirming that the beast had left, he went to check on Zhao Chen in a hurry.

“I’m fine…” said Zhao Chen, struggling to get back on his feet.

He had taken the precaution of wearing leather armor in his clothes. Although the Silver Lion’s attack was powerful, he was not badly hurt.

“Let’s go!” said Shen Zhe in a low voice and walked forward in a hurry, relieved by the outcome.

The Silver Lion was so strong, but it left the moment it heard the howl. Was it possible that the wolf king Ms. Bai had encountered was in the area?

In that case, they would be in real danger.
