I don't want to come up with a funny book title anymore.

For the next few days, the team's daily routine consisted of fighting star beasts, distributing materials, eating, and repeating the same cycle over and over.

They no longer just gave Xie Fengnan some unimportant materials, since everyone had been quite satisfied with their food these past few days.

Xie Fengnan was quite satisfied. His scabbard had been completed two days ago, but it seemed that he had used too much force, so he was still wrapping the sword and scabbard in that cloth.

There was still a young lady who couldn't bear to see him like this, so she wove a piece of cloth for him. Not only was the quality better than before, but she also thoughtfully made it into a style that he could carry on his back, freeing up his hands.

Xie Fengnan would naturally choose to secretly give the young lady extra help.

I thought I could just keep going like this until the end of the dungeon, but as the saying goes, things don't always go as planned.

Deng Xiu's team ran into Huang Yong's team again, and the timing was very unfortunate. They must have provoked something, because even before they got close, Deng Xiu and the others felt a strong sense of oppression.

He immediately ordered his teammates to retreat, but Huang Yong, who was also sharp-eyed, led his men to rush towards Deng Xiu, making it clear to everyone that he intended to divert the trouble to the east.

Deng Xiu cursed aloud, but her pace didn't slow down. The other team members were also quick, and even took the time to check on Xie Fengnan, "Little Xie, do you need a hand?"

Xie Fengnan glanced back at Huang Yong and said, "No need."

It's clear that Huang Yong is not far from death, unless he has other means of survival.

From that one glance, Xie Fengnan already knew what kind of creature it was.

It is a level four Lion-Victorious Lion—

Its mouth, paws, and belly are all bright red, and there are red spiral stripes from its head to its back and limbs. Its magnificent mane is worth credit points at first glance. It is indeed the most powerful lion among the Lion Kings.

The Lion King Lion is rumored to be very bloodthirsty and loves to eat meat. Its bright red coat is stained with the blood of its prey. It's unknown where Huang Yong got this one.

Xie Fengnan kept turning around with a spectator's mentality. Deng Xiu and the others didn't bother him since Xie Fengnan could keep up. After all, although they weren't far from the victorious lion, they weren't so close that they couldn't observe the situation.

In just a few seconds, Huang Yong, for his own safety, still attacked his underlings, who at this point could no longer be called underlings, but cannon fodder.

There must be something about him that makes Lion King relentlessly pursue him, so Lion King doesn't really care about his scattered underlings.

He kept his eyes fixed on Huang Yong, unwilling to die or give up the benefits he had gained. So Huang Yong used some tricks to push the person closest to him into the lion's mouth.

Lion King impatiently slapped the person away. Anyone who got hit by that blow would feel terrible, and Xie Fengnan guessed that the person was probably in grave danger.

Seeing this, the remaining henchmen, fearing they would be used as cannon fodder to buy time, stopped following Huang Yong and fled for their own lives.

Taking advantage of this brief respite, Huang Yong managed to create some distance between himself and Lions.

But this only slowed down his impending death. If he could outrun Lion King, he wouldn't have had to send his underlings to be cannon fodder. But Huang Yong was the kind of person who wouldn't give up until he was completely defeated. He thought that if he persisted a little longer, there might be a turning point.

He stared at Deng Xiu's group ahead, cheering himself on. He thought that if Deng Xiu could take his place, he might be able to escape alive.

But after being slightly thwarted, Lion King seemed even angrier, and his outburst became even faster. Huang Yong knew that he couldn't hold on any longer.

A sinister glint appeared in his eyes: You all won't let me have an easy time, and I won't let you have an easy time either.

He quickly adjusted himself, threw an object at Deng Xiu with all his might, and fled in a different direction without daring to stop. Surprisingly, Shi Shengshi did not chase after him, but instead went for Deng Xiu.

Deng Xiu didn't know what it was, but his intuition told him it would bring him big trouble. Just as he was about to dodge, a voice stopped him, "Brother Deng, catch it."

Xie Fengnan's pupil technique was no joke; high-speed and slow-motion playback were child's play for him. So, the instant Huang Yong threw it, he saw the item clearly—

It is a lion cub.

It is estimated that Huang Yong's original intention was to kill the cub, thereby angering Lion Shengshi. Needless to say, Lion Shengshi, having lost its cub, would definitely not be rational and would be capable of chasing and killing them.

When Deng Xiu heard this, she wondered if someone was joking, especially at a time like this.

But what he saw was Xie Fengnan, and those determined heterochromatic eyes.

Gritting his teeth, Deng Xiu decided to trust him this once. After spending the past few days together, he knew Xie Fengnan's character and that he wouldn't ask him to do something that was obviously a death sentence.

Even Huang Yong, who is known for his speed, can't outrun him. So, if Lion Victory Lion doesn't give up, he might as well go all out now.

Deng Xiu took a deep breath and stopped. The cub was right in front of her. In her haste, Deng Xiu only had time to release some of her force, so she was still pulled back a few steps by the remaining force and then sat down on the ground with a thud.

"Hiss—" Deng Xiu gasped, Huang Yong's strength was really considerable.

At this moment, Lion King had also arrived in front of Deng Xiu.
