The Martial Unity

Chapter 160

Quite some time had passed since the hunt had begun. The creature had finally come to realize that its life was truly at stake this time. Whoever this predator was, it was determined to hunt and eat it. Previously, its encounters with other predators had been brief, and it was able to disengage and escape.
