"ROAR!" A massive roar echoed from behind Wen Yu, his heart pounded. Simba was getting closer and closer. At this point, Wen Yu could already see the outline of the Exchange Stone Pillar.
"AAARGH!" Under immense pressure, Wen Yu couldn't help but roar back. His legs pumped like the wind as he quickly overtook the increasingly sluggish Cyclops.
Ignoring his temporary ally's state, Wen Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Given the current situation, I might be able to make a run for it instead of advancing here.
Escaping Simba's pursuit by using the promotion trial was the absolute worst option.
However, things went awry. A violent gust of wind surged from behind Wen Yu. Simba, in the distance, leaped forward, targeting not the closer Cyclops but Wen Yu, who was getting further away!
Simba would not let any creature that invaded his Territory get away.
