"Thud!"
However, a golden arrow pierced through the sky, accompanied by a dull tearing sound, penetrated his shoulder, dragging him across the ground and finally nailing him firmly to the trunk of a sturdy tree.
"Aaah, my shoulder!"
Caught off guard, Orion let out a piercing scream of agony as blood spurted from his wound.
And those pained cries, like a curse, seeped into Artemis's mind, constantly tempting her to look back and show mercy.
"Ting-a-ling~!"
With the sound of metal clashing, Artemis dropped her golden longbow, knelt on the ground, clutching her head and growling through gritted teeth towards what was ahead.
"Kill him! Quickly!"
Just as the Hunting Goddess spoke, Luo En's figure had already crossed beside her, charging towards the riverbank opposite like an arrow loosed from its string, his right hand tightly grasping Orion's sturdy neck, forcibly silencing his ceaseless wails inside his throat.
As the grip on his throat tightened, the affixed Orion struggled frantically, and in his labored breathing, emitted a terrified growl.
"You... you can't... kill me, Father God he..."
"Crack!"
However, before Orion could finish, the vise-like arm suddenly erupted with a crimson light of war divinity, breaking through the last thin layer of the sea's blessing around the God of the Sea's son, and directly twisting his sturdy neck.
Moreover, if he remembered correctly, "Aphrodite's Favor" lasted... a week?
"Gulp..."
Luo En swallowed, trying to moisten his dry throat, as he watched a top predator of the forest curling her tongue and licking her lips a short distance away, squeezing out a crooked smile on his rigid face.
"Hungry? Maybe you should eat first..."
"Bang!"
Before Luo En could finish, a pair of slender yet powerful arms grabbed at his quietly retreating legs and effortlessly pulled him down.
Thrown into disarray, Luo En hadn't recovered his senses when his body was quickly dragged towards a small grove ahead, his head banging against the stones along the way, leaving his thoughts blank.
The sensation was like a little rabbit being savagely pulled out of its hole by a leopardess and crushed under her paws.
"Don't tear my clothes!"
"Stop it, I'm innocent..."
"Ow, ow, ow! My wound is tearing open!"
"Woo... Woo!!!"
Soon, under the absolute suppression of the leopardess, the helpless cries of the rabbit were completely drowned out by the shadows overlapping and blending in the forest.
The greedy beast reveled in its hunting grounds, savoring its prey that belonged to it alone!
