Wen Yu stared blankly at the battle not far away.
As he watched Simba prepare to finish his appetizer, Wen Yu felt like he was next on the chopping block, and his lone wolf temperament surged once again.
"What's the worst that can happen? I've died once already, so why should I fear you, you foolish lion?" Wen Yu gripped the war blade tightly, bracing himself for the inevitable deadly confrontation.
However, the turn of events was completely beyond his expectations. The one-eyed creature, against all odds, retaliated fiercely, gravely injuring Simba. As he watched the one-eyed creature collapse to the ground, completely devoid of any ability to fight back, Wen Yu was shaken to his core.
"What if I could possess the one-eyed creature's ability to grow stronger the more it is injured? Then I might have a chance to escape..."
Wen Yu set his sights on the one-eyed creature's terrifying ability. Its physical quality was just above ten, while Simba's was no less than fifty. Adding to that, the one-eyed creature was heavily injured, causing its combat capability to drop significantly. Under such circumstances, the one-eyed creature's ability likely amplified its strength by roughly five times, allowing it to inflict such terrifying damage on Simba.
This was Wen Yu's lifeline.
In battle, his physical quality was at 20.5 points, and if he sustained moderate damage while the one-eyed creature's ability could triple his physical quality, his strength could rise to 61.5 points. Coupled with his speed skill, he would have a chance to escape even from the agile feline predator. Not to mention, Simba had a wounded paw, which would inevitably decrease its mobility.
As Wen Yu saw Simba roar towards the sky, the red light in its mouth growing ever more intense, he dashed over to the one-eyed creature lying beneath Simba's feet.
He picked up the one-eyed creature's half-dead body and, without a moment to spare to appreciate the fading life force within, he sprinted madly towards the entrance of the park.
A wave of heat followed closely behind him, accompanied by Simba's furious roar. Wen Yu didn't have time to dwell on the impending death that loomed nearer; he shouted at the barely conscious one-eyed creature, "Wake up! Damn it, wake up!"
The violent running caused the one-eyed creature's mangled body to sustain further injury, trembling all over, its closed eyes slowly opened.
The amber eyes had turned gray, hazily examining Wen Yu, who was holding it.
This was a moment of fleeting clarity. The instant Wen Yu picked up the one-eyed creature, he noticed that most of its internal organs were gone.
"Listen carefully, I can keep you alive. Saving you is saving myself. I will sign a contract with you; you just need to agree. I don't know if you can understand me, but there's no time left." Wen Yu spoke rapidly, like a machine gun, disregarding the one-eyed creature's confusion regarding his intentions. He activated the contract ability of his second soul realm.
A light purple glow shifted from light to deep in Wen Yu's hand, shimmering with beautiful and dazzling colors, gradually enveloping the one-eyed creature's body.
Illuminated by the mysterious purple light, the one-eyed creature attempted to struggle, but its heavily injured body lacked the strength to do so.
As it came into contact with the faint purple glow, feeling no malice, the one-eyed creature's blurred consciousness reacted instinctively to the will to survive.
The purple light, seemingly slow, actually enveloped the one-eyed creature's entire being at an incredible speed, and then both it and the one-eyed creature vanished without a trace.
Wen Yu also sensed the presence of the broken figure of the one-eyed creature in his second soul realm, its weak life force gradually strengthening while the missing parts of its body slowly began to regenerate. The healing power of the soul realm surpassed Wen Yu's imagination; at the current pace of healing, the one-eyed creature might recover completely in just a day's time.
