Running into the ambush, Jialue suddenly turned around and faced the pursuing leopard with bared fangs.
The leopard remained unruffled. It was more than twice Jialue's size after all.
Drool dripped down from the sides of its jaws as it marked Jialue as its next meal. A fat, tender piece of meat.
But when Kanwu and Hede slowly emerged from the foliage and surrounded it, the leopard's expression changed from one of confidence to anxiety. The change occurred within seconds.
The leopard started spinning around trying to find a way out of the ambush, but the three youngsters were in perfect coordination with each other. They maintained the perfect amount of space between them, and there was not the slightest chance of escape. At the same time, the leopard realized its own companion had somehow not caught up with it.
