"Shing~"
Little White Fox extended its sharp claws.
"Eek~"
A sound that made goosebumps break out all over people's bodies rang out.
Visible scratches appeared one after another across Little Gu Diao's iron-hard back.
Soon.
Something began to flow out.
Little White Fox moved its paw away with a look of disgust.
It lightly landed on the ground nearby.
Little Gu Diao lay motionless on the ground.
It looked as though it had already stopped breathing.
"Plop~"
Blood slid down from its back.
It splashed onto the ground, spreading into a small pool of blood.
Little White Fox withdrew its gaze from Little Gu Diao.
It raised its own paw and looked at it.
It seemed to be checking whether it had gotten its paw dirty.
Little Gu Diao silently gathered its strength.
It knew.
This was its last chance.
This time, it could only succeed. It absolutely could not fail.
After the fox left its back, every nerve in its body tensed.
The instant the fox's gaze shifted away from its body, it told itself:
Wait a little longer.
A few seconds later, it knew.
Its final chance had arrived.
Whether it could stay alive... depended on how fast it could run...
Little Gu Diao suddenly flapped its wings.
It rose into the air.
As long as it reached the sky, that would be its territory.
The fox couldn't fly.
Even if this fox had exceeded its expectations in every way, it still couldn't fly.
"Aaagh~"
Little Gu Diao let out a shrill howl of agony.
Its wing?!
Its wing!
"Smack~"
One of Little Gu Diao's wings fell off.
It slammed heavily onto the ground.
Little White Fox stretched its paw.
Then it seemingly flicked it casually once more.
