章 43: Chapter 43: An Unavoidable Battle

The giant beast walked upright like a gorilla, its six blood-red eyes on its forehead creating an unsettling gaze. Its body was covered with thick fur, and its abdomen and back were shielded by a layer of black scales, indicating formidable defensive power.

The beast's sense of smell was exceptionally keen, and it quickly followed the scent toward the tree where the two were hiding.

Guding clenched his fist, while Liliya closed her eyes to regulate her breathing rhythm, trying to slow her heartbeat as much as possible.

One step, two steps, three steps...

The footsteps of the beast grew closer and closer. When it reached the tree where the two were hiding, it stopped, glanced around, and then let out an angry roar, seemingly unable to find their hiding spot.
