Running into the ambush, Jialue suddenly turned around and faced the pursuing leopard with bared fangs.
The leopard remained unruffled. It was more than twice Jialue's size after all.
Drool dripped down from the sides of its jaws as it marked Jialue as its next meal. A fat, tender piece of meat.
But when Kanwu and Hede slowly emerged from the foliage and surrounded it, the leopard's expression changed from one of confidence to anxiety. The change occurred within seconds.
The leopard started spinning around trying to find a way out of the ambush, but the three youngsters were in perfect coordination with each other. They maintained the perfect amount of space between them, and there was not the slightest chance of escape. At the same time, the leopard realized its own companion had somehow not caught up with it.
The three youngsters might only be half-beasts but their beastly energy against that wild animal was overpowering. Further, it was three-against-one? It was a sure-win situation.
Who knew if it was because brothers from the same brood were more in sync with each other, or was it because of Burke's training, the three youngsters attacked in perfect unison.
This was not from the biased point of view of a mother, but Gu Mengmeng still held the memories belonging Snakel. Although her only experience with combat had been that earlier fight with the stray beasts, Snakel's memories possessed quite a bit of knowledge pertaining to battle. As a result, Gu Mengmeng was a good judge of combat abilities.
Although they were very young, those three youngsters had already showed the first promising signs of immense talent.
Gu Mengmeng was completely focused on the battle between her three sons and that leopard. She nearly wanted to open her mouth to cheer them on, but resisted the impulse for fear of interfering with her sons' performance.
If things continue as planned, the three youngsters would be ending this fight soon.
Perhaps it was because mother was watching, but Kanwu's performance was especially vigorous.
He was too anxious to prove his own progress and before the time was ripe, he suddenly launched the final attack on that leopard.
The leopard was at the precipice of death which made it even more ferocious than usual.
Kanwu's jaws failed to clamp down on the leopard's throat as it dodged to the side, but instead made contact with its muscular chest. Instinctively realizing his mistake, Kanwu was about to retreat when the leopard bit down on the back of his neck.
Gu Mengmeng was in a fluster. Kanwu's spine would be broken if the leopard jerked him back.
She was just about to jump down to save her son when Burke held her back.
Before she could turn to glare at Burke, Jialue had pounced onto the leopard's back and bit down on the base of its tail. With a snapping sound, the leopard's tail was pulled off.
The leopard howled with pain and loosened its jaws.
Kanwu took the opportunity to retreat and gave his head a shake before pouncing on the leopard again. He was no longer targeting the throat, but leaped onto its back and bit its spine.
Gu Mengmeng breathed out in relief. Did the kid learn this from Elvis or Lea?
Eye for an Eye, a tooth for a tooth. Always return the favor.
Biting the throat was obviously his best attack. If not for his earlier impatience, Gu Mengmeng believed that Kanwu's first attack would have finished off that leopard. From that practiced movement, it appeared like Burke had been teaching them to always aim for the throat.
