The wild beast rushed towards Xiao Rou who seemed to have abandoned all hope.
Her delicate frame trembled as she accepted her fate, shutting her eyes.
Will I die just like this? Death by those set of claws... do they hurt a lot?
...Oh?
I feel so light. Is this how death feels like? Doesn't feel right...
Xiao Rou opened both of her eyes in doubt.
Between her eyes, a slim silhouette unknowingly appeared right in front of her. The figure donned a familiar torn blanket as a cape, unexpectedly holding back the enormous beast.
Xiao Rou was stunned!
H-How could this be possible?
He actually held the gigantic wild beast back with his obviously severe injuries...
In this moment, Xiao Rou's thoughts abruptly flashed back to yesterday where she first saw Xu Que. Images of the miserable scene of him drenched in blood appeared. But now, he is right in front of her, protecting her without a care for his life.
Xiao Rou sniffed with tears filling up her eyes.
At the same time, the surrounding villagers who were unreactive to Xu Que's lightning fast speed were stumped at whatever he was doing now.
However, just witnessing the slim figure stopping the huge wild beast caused the villagers to become deeply awestricken.
How is it possible that a person— injured to such an extent, can hold back such a massive and ferocious beast?
"Roar!"
This time, the wild beast had let out a thunderous roar, snapping everyone back into reality.
It lifted its gigantic beastly claws into the air while panting in rage before abruptly bringing them down to the ground.
Everybody were startled and shocked as they screamed out,
"This is not good. Quickly retreat!"
"Little doll, escape!"
"Be careful..."
Xiao Rou was frightened too as she turns pale. She reached out her tiny hands to try and pull Xu Que back but realized that she couldn't move an inch.
With Xu Que's frame of skin and bones standing in the face of the huge and immense beast, it looked like a clear match-up of the strong against the weak.
Despite resisting the first attack by the beast, no one believed that he was an even match for it.
Xu Que who had remained still the entire time, immediately lifted up his right leg and kicked the wild beast.
"Thump!"
A cry of agony followed, stunning the crowd again.
The colossal and ferocious beast was kicked flying into the air and it landed hard on the ground before sliding some distance from the impact of the kick.
The villagers were astonished.
One... One kick and the beast flew? What kind of damned leg power does he have? What leg strength?
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully subtly acting tough. The reward is three act tough points."
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully subtly acting tough. The reward is five act tough points."
