Chapitre 326: Chapter 18 Funeral and Militia_2

To protect the horses, Er Maziteleqing fought against a giant bear, but was overpowered. When he was found, his internals had already been devoured—a behavior consistent with that of bears.

The couple secretly meeting in the woods unfortunately became the giant lion's prey. The giant lion dragged away and ate the girl, and after its feast, it killed the boy who had pursued it.

This explained Ralph's long-standing question: Why did the beasts, already satiated with horse flesh, still attack the lovers from Dusa Village?

The day the old hunter and the giant lion perished together, the giant lion had actually killed a villager from Beixin, dragging the corpse back to its lair to enjoy—this was the half-eaten body the militia had found.
