Chapter 310 Ennea
Adam's mind was in absolute chaos. He just couldn't comprehend why he wasn't able to cast his spell just now.
His vision was blurry and he could faintly see the menacing appearance of the Hexaclaw Panther in front of him. The beast slowly opened its maw which was filled with razor-sharp teeth.
Is this it for me?
Feeling the clutches of death slowly squeeze around his neck, unprecedented terror gripped Adam's heart.
A drop of tear slowly trickled down his bloodied face as he saw the panther's jaws inch closer toward him. He thought to himself with deep regret,
I.. I don't want to die... Val... Old man...
Suddenly!
ROAARR!
A streak of white light bolted from the distance and viciously slammed against the panther. Adam's eyes widened in disbelief at the sudden turn of events. He knew exactly what had happened just now.
Capitalizing on this opportunity, he gritted his teeth and reached for his earring. In the near distance, he could hear the sound of beasts fighting one another already.
Ennea... hold on!
He conjured one healing potion after another and started to chug them down like there was no tomorrow. At the same time, he also poured a large amount of it on his deep injury. Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com
A few meters away from him, a fierce battle unfolded between Ennea and the Hexaclaw Panther.
The white fox lunged, its sharp claws slashing through the air, aiming for the panther's flank. However, the six-legged panther was highly nimble.
Shadows swirled around its legs as it effortlessly dodged Ennea's attack. It circled around Ennea at great speed and swiped its own claws.
The fox whimpered in pain as she was hurled into the distance yet again. There was a deep claw mark on her torso, dying her white fur a deep crimson.
She was no match for her opponent.
Despite knowing that she was weaker than the Hexaclaw Panther, she attacked it without regard for her safety. Although Adam was not her master, she had known him since she was a cub.
To her, Adam was no different than family.
So when she saw that the raven-haired youth was on the verge of death, she pounced on the panther even if it meant that her own life would be in danger.
BOOM!
Adam gathered all his emotions and momentum and thrust his palm at the beast's torso, sending it flying away.
The Hexaclaw Panther smashed through the thick trunks of a couple of trees and miserably bounced on the ground a few times, before finally stopping after dozens of meters.
One shot was all it took.
Now, the beast's ribs had cracked and its internal organs were heavily damaged. It spurted out mouthfuls of blood as it struggled to get to its feet.
The madness in its eyes was instantly replaced by fear.
It turned its head weakly and saw its prey coldly glancing at him from the distance. The sheer amount of killing intent and bloodlust he radiated sent shivers down its spine.
Slowly, it got to its feet. It cast a fearful glance at Adam one last time, before turning around and fleeing with its tail tucked between its legs.
Adam was overcome by absolute fury. He was on the verge of dying just now. All because of that six-legged panther. He wanted to give chase and kill the damned beast in this instance.
However, when he turned around to look at Ennea whimpering in agonizing pain, all his rage vanished like smoke.
He rushed toward the white fox and knelt down beside her. He gently lifted her head and placed it on his lap. Then, he took out a couple of healing potions from his earring and fed it to her.
"You did good, Little Ennea," he spoke softly, "thank you."
Ennea nodded her head ever so slightly, her eyes flashing with relief. She thought she would really meet her end tonight. However, she was glad that she had made it out alive.
For that, she was truly grateful to Adam.
The youth made her drink as many healing potions as she needed. Furthermore, he also applied healing paste and other balms to the injury on her torso.
After making sure that she was healthy enough to move again, he asked her, "Alright then. Are you ready to go on a hunt?"
Ennea growled with killing intent, her eyes flashing with wild savagery.
"Good girl," Adam smirked as he dotingly rubbed the fox's head.
He got on top of her and scrutinized her injury once again. After making sure that his weight wasn't worsening the fox's injuries, he nodded to himself.
Then, his eyes flashing with a cold light.
"Let's go kill that panther."
