Since the pride of lions is continuing to approach, it means that the pride has its eyes on them, whether it is Yezi and Tongtong, Dahei and his wife, or the two wildebeests.

The former is Leaf's partner, and the latter is Leaf's property; neither of these can be harmed by the pride of lions.

The drone took off the moment Ye Zi got up. Upon hearing what Ye Zi told Tong Tong, the drone stopped filming Tong Tong and followed closely above Ye Zi's head.

The drones also have night vision capabilities to capture the athletes' nighttime activities.

"System, can my body withstand a lion's attack?"

"The female lion is fine, but the male lion will get a sore skin," the system replied curtly.

Back then, he could withstand the attack of a wild wolf after consuming six Thousand-Pound Pills. Now, he has already consumed ten Thousand-Pound Pills. With such a long period of training and improved physical fitness, it is reasonable for him to withstand the attack of a lion.

When the three older lionesses at the front entered within a hundred meters, Ye Zi did not make a move.

Several adult lionesses in the center entered within a hundred meters, but Ye Zi hadn't made a move yet.

Three newly adult lionesses entered within 100 meters, and Ye Zi waved her arms three times.

The three older lionesses died on the spot without uttering a sound.

The adult lionesses were stunned for a moment. The guns in the hands of humans could be fatal to them, but they had not heard any gunshots.

After a moment of hesitation, the seven lionesses in the center spread out and surrounded Leaf. Their original targets were the buffalo and wildebeest, but now Leaf was their primary target.

Seeing that the lion pride's hatred had been diverted, Ye Zi waved her hand and threw a pebble at a male lion behind her.

Needless to say, the result was an instant kill.

The two male lions beside him roared and stepped into the ranks of those attacking Ye Zi, while three newly-adult female lions followed suit.

The encirclement of twelve lions was very stressful, but this scorer was not much of a threat to Ye Zi.

Ye Zi is absolutely confident in her strength, as her body can withstand the lion's attack.

The first to attack were the two lionesses on the left and right sides, while the other lions were also slowly approaching, ready to attack at any moment.

Ye Zi understood the principle that it's better to break one finger than to injure all ten. Instead of storing the pebble in his hand, he clenched his fist and punched the lion that pounced on him.

A punch landed squarely on the lioness's jaw, causing her head to tilt back, accompanied by a crisp cracking sound of bones breaking.

With the left foot on the ground and the right leg suddenly kicking backward, this is the legendary "kicking backward." Whether this move looks good or not is secondary; the main thing is that it's fast, fierce, and incredibly powerful.

The lioness, kicked, flew backward, letting out a whimper in mid-air, and was already dead when she landed.

Two out of twelve left ten. Taking advantage of this moment, a male lion pounced and bit Ye Zi's throat, while two female lions bit Ye Zi's legs.

Before it could retract its right leg, it lashed out at the lion with tremendous force, striking the lion squarely in the chest like a steel whip. The lion, which was halfway to pounce, was sent flying backward by the blow. All that could be heard was the sound of bones breaking; it didn't even utter a whimper before landing motionless.

Because of the powerful shot, the lioness that was biting the leaf's right leg missed, while her left leg was firmly bitten by another lioness.

Because her left foot was on the ground, her leg muscles were tense, but she still felt a slight pain. Ye Zi knelt down and her left knee slammed solidly into the lioness's head.

The lioness was instantly stunned by the impact, and Ye Zi swung his fist down, hitting the lioness in the chest.

Two out of ten are gone, leaving eight.

The hunting strategy that was supposed to be foolproof not only failed to work on Ye Zi, but also resulted in the loss of four animals.

The eight lions surrounding the leaf were a little confused. Are two-legged creatures this fierce even without guns? How come they've never encountered anything like this before?

After a moment of stunned silence, the remaining lionesses began to wander around the leaves, glancing frequently at the only remaining male lion.

The remaining lion, the most powerful of the three, neither attacked nor retreated, but instead began to confront Ye Zi.

Ye Zi also stopped attacking and confronted the lion, while he also wanted to know the extent of his injuries.

"System, how is my left leg?"

"It's a minor injury, just a break in the skin, and it's covered by muscle."

"Didn't you say I could withstand the lioness's attack? How could this happen?"

"The claws can indeed block it, but it was a bite."

"You're risking my safety for the sake of your health points?"

"That's not true. You're a physical cultivator, after all. It wouldn't make sense if you didn't experience a few battles." The system's voice remained as dry and unresponsive as ever.

"Come on, this is a life-or-death situation. The slightest carelessness could result in serious injury or even death. Even if you're not seriously injured, what if you get infected?"

"I'm not afraid of having my mind erased if I fail to complete the mission, so what are you afraid of?"

With so much stored Qi and blood, plus a pool of spiritual energy to back it up, even severe injuries can be quickly recovered.

With a wound like yours, unless you spray some poison on it, it would be difficult for it to get infected.

Stop talking nonsense and get started.

The dry, monotone voice suddenly transformed into that of a grumpy, bossy older sister, just like the tone during their first conversation. This caught Ye Zi, who was already used to the system's indifferent tone, off guard.

"Have you eaten gunpowder? Why are you so angry?"

"That thing on your head is so annoying. It could have been done in no time with double maces, but because of it, you have to go through so much trouble."

"Money is hard to earn, and life is tough. I'm just trying to make a living. Calm down, I'll give you half of that spiritual energy, you can keep it and play with it."

"Really? Thank you for your kindness, host."

The irritable older sister's voice disappeared, replaced by a soft, cute little girl's voice, with a hint of flattery.

Ye Zi raised an eyebrow, then, without disturbing the system's play with the half-lump of spiritual energy, focused her attention on the lion pride.

In the short time it took to say a few words, the lion let out a low roar and led the charge towards the leaves.

Ye Zi was naturally not going to back down. She took two steps forward, still supporting herself with her left foot, and swept her right leg out horizontally.

One lioness was swept away and slammed into another lioness that pounced on her. Then, using the momentum of her right leg, she turned her body, and before her right foot even landed, her left foot was off the ground, sweeping towards the male lion.

Unexpectedly, a young adult lioness following the male lion pounced before the male lion, blocking the leaf's sweeping left foot.

The lioness was swept away and her body crashed into the male lion.

Ye Zi landed on both feet, not bothering to check on the four lions that had been swept away, and used the Six Harmonies Swimming Body Mace with her bare hands, her weapon naturally being her two iron fists.

This time, only one lioness was hit. The remaining lions either pounced too far or braked in time, thus avoiding entering the leaf's attack range.

After one round, five more lions fell from the pride that originally had eight.

The three unharmed lionesses retreated and then gathered together.

It was still dark, and Ye Zi couldn't see the eyes of the three remaining lionesses clearly, but it wasn't hard to guess. When they arrived, there were sixteen of them, but now only three remained. Alas, they couldn't go back.
