After a while, the lion growled and quickly retreated.
When Xiao Junyan saw the lion retreat, he did not chase it anymore, but instead chased in the direction the little creature escaped.
In terms of running pace and agility, Yue'er was the best among the three siblings at a young age, and she was also the fastest. With the lion delaying her, she left quickly. It was easy to escape first and then reunite with the lion.
However, what she didn't expect was that when she ran a long distance and looked back, she saw Xiao Junyan chasing her from behind.
"Ah! They're chasing me! Bullying a child!" She muttered and shouted, while running away without paying attention to the direction. She just ran left and right in the forest as fast as she could.
"It's that child!" In front, a group of young boys and girls gathered together and talked while walking. They saw a child running towards them not far ahead, and they couldn't help but point at her in surprise.
"The news from the family said that it was a child of five or six years old. Could it be her? Quick! Catch her!" said a young man, rushing towards the child who was running.
You know, catching someone and bringing him back is a great achievement!
Yue'er was running, looking back from time to time, and didn't pay attention to the front for a while. When she noticed the people in front of her, she exclaimed and quickly turned in another direction and ran.
"Quick! Catch her, don't let her run away!"
When everyone saw the child turn a corner and run to the other side, they shouted, "Flank him! Flank him from that side!"
Being stopped by these people, Xiao Junyan, who was chasing behind, also caught up. He saw the family members holding swords and surrounding the little guy. He frowned and shouted in a cold voice: "Don't hurt her!"
Everyone was startled. After hearing the voice, they looked towards the source of the voice. When they saw that it was Xiao Junyan, their faces changed slightly and they hurriedly called out respectfully, "Young Master!"
"Put away your swords and don't hurt her." Xiao Junyan ordered coldly, and rushed forward to grab the little guy.
"ah!"
Yue'er screamed, but dodged nimbly.
Xiao Junyan missed his grab and was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that this fat kid had such good body skills. When he leaned forward to grab her again, a lion's roar was heard.
"roar!"
"Ah! The beast!"
"No! That's a divine beast! Look at the pattern on the lion's head! Hiss! How is it possible? Has this divine beast been contracted by someone?" A young man took a breath and suddenly remembered that the young master was here, and surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Could it be that the young master has contracted this divine beast?"
But as they were talking, they saw the divine beast suddenly pounce out. They thought that the divine beast was going to pounce on the child, but they didn't expect that it actually pounced on their young master.
"Young Master, be careful!"
Everyone's faces turned pale with fear and they screamed instinctively. Then they saw their young master reach out to grab the child's hand, then turn it into a fist and tighten it. A visible airflow condensed above the fist and changed direction at an extremely fast speed and swung towards the head of the divine beast that was rushing towards him.
Yue'er ran away and looked back, only to see Xiao Junyan smashing the lion's head with his fist. The lion's claws also grabbed his arm hard, leaving several deep marks.
