Mutated Lion (2)

After Ye Lang accelerated for a while, he found that the lion behind him was still moving, which made him raise his opinion of the lion even higher.

"Roar..." The lion roared again, as if to say, "Don't underestimate me."

"What should we do, Ye Lang? Should we kill it? It's annoying to be followed like this." Li Yue said calmly. Although this lion was Devil Beast, it posed no danger to Ye Lang and his companion. Li Yue could handle it by herself.

"Yes, it's time for us to have lunch. I wonder what lion meat will taste like," Ye Lang said with a faint smile.

The Crimson Lion behind it still looked proud and arrogant, unaware that the two people it was chasing were already discussing how to make it taste better.

If it had known, and knew the strength of the two people in front of it, it would have turned and run away. Unfortunately, it didn't!

"Stop!"

Ye Lang suddenly stopped and instantly turned around, forming a defensive barrier behind him. The action was sudden and completed in an instant.

The Crimson Lion didn't even have time to react before it crashed into the defensive wall. In fact, even if it had reacted, it wouldn't have been able to do so in a short time and would have crashed into Ye Lang's defensive wall as well, leaving it completely disoriented.

"Awooo..."

The Crimson Lion cried out miserably, its eyes filled with confusion. It couldn't understand why there was suddenly something in front of it, when there was clearly nothing there.

"Huh, it didn't even faint. This lion is pretty good!" Ye Lang said, looking at the lion. With the force of the impact, even Devil Beast would usually be stunned, but this lion didn't faint; it just felt pain.

"Roar!!" The lion crouched down, looking alert, which was also a good offensive posture.

"Stop yelling, I'm going to braise you later. Today I'm going to Braised Lion Head, a real lion's head..." Ye Lang looked at the fiery red lion's head and was imagining how to braise it.

"Roar!" Although the lion couldn't understand Ye Lang's words, it still understood some of Ye Lang's thoughts, some of his ill intentions towards it.

So, after letting out a roar, it pounced again, but unfortunately, it was blocked by the defensive barrier and was knocked into a daze once more.

"Roar..."

They kept ramming it, but it was all in vain; they tried repeatedly without success...

"A wild beast is a wild beast; it doesn't know when to retreat," Li Yue said with a touch of emotion as she looked at the lion.

"But it does have a brain; it's learned its lesson," Ye Lang said with a smile. As he spoke, the lion stopped charging; it had learned its lesson.

Since it couldn't go forward, it decided to go around it. The lion moved to the left and right, trying to bypass the invisible wall in front of it. However, it soon discovered that the same thing happened on the left and right sides, and it would also encounter the impassable invisible wall.

Upon discovering this situation, the lion sensed danger—an instinctive feeling—and retreated. However, it found that there was also an invisible wall behind it, and it still couldn't pass through.

"Don't even think about it. You're already trapped in this formation. This formation has a name: The Cage! You're now a wild beast locked in a cage, and you're no longer capable of anything!" Ye Lang said with a smile.

"Roar..." The lion roared wildly, seemingly both angry and afraid, now engaged in a desperate struggle.

"Li Yue, you said you hadn't actually killed one during the hunt. Now's your chance. Shoot it with your bow and arrow," Ye Lang said, handing his bow and arrows to Li Yue.

"Okay!" Li Yue took the bow and arrow, drew the bowstring taut, and aimed the arrow at the lion...

The lion sensed a strong sense of danger at that moment, which was instinctive. It knew that the danger came from Li Yue, so it leaned down and growled softly at Li Yue.

Is this a desperate attempt to stop Li Yue's attack?

"Whoosh!"

Would Li Yue care about this? She coldly shot the arrow straight at the lion. She was not an ordinary girl and would not have pity because of pointless love.

"Aww..."

The lion had no chance to dodge in this small space. The arrow hit it, but it seemed to have dodged a vital spot, or at least avoided a fatal one.

Li Yue's arrow pierced the left side of the lion's forelimb. Although not fatal, it impaired its mobility. And Li Yue will then fire a second arrow, which the lion will have no chance to dodge.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Li Yue shot arrow after arrow, and the lion's body became increasingly riddled with arrows, yet it stubbornly remained alive, which surprised Ye Lang and the other man.

Li Yue's arrows weren't meant to torture the lion; they were all intended to kill it with a single shot. However, the lion kept dodging the fatal arrows and managed to survive in the narrow space.

This mutated lion is indeed no ordinary Devil Beast. Even a high-level Devil Beast would have died under such circumstances, yet it survived and its will to live was still so strong that it did not give up!

This will to survive was what surprised Ye Lang and his companion the most. Even if others were fighting like cornered beasts, they would eventually give up after a while.

"..."

Li Yue didn't speak, but drew her bow again. This time she would fire her strongest arrow, which would surely take down the lion. And indeed it did. If she had fired this arrow, the lion would have been dead.

However, at this moment, Ye Lang suddenly reached out and stopped Li Yue, saying, "Alright, Li Yue! Since it wants to live so much, let it live!"

"..." Li Yue looked at Ye Lang for a moment, then nodded and put away her bow and arrows. "Alright, let it go! Let's continue on our way!"

"Little Lion! Don't be so impulsive in the future. If you encounter a violent woman like Li Yue, she'll definitely turn you into Braised Lion Head." Ye Lang released the Alchemy Array cage and pressed down on the lion's head. At this moment, the lion had no strength to resist anything, and it was trembling all over, afraid that Ye Lang and the other person would do something to it.

"Who's the violent woman? And don't try to pin this on me. You were the one who said you were going to make it into Braised Lion Head!" Li Yue said angrily, kicking Ye Lang as if to strike him.

"Really?" Ye Lang moved his body in a strange way, easily dodging Li Yue's kick.

"Roar..." The lion howled softly, as if to say, "It's you, you're the culprit!"
