Upon hearing the scream of the bear chasing him, Lothur did not look back. Instead, he continued on his way to escape from that area, using the trees to distance himself from the giant creature.
The red-furred bear identified the 'causer' of the previous noise by running at high speed while using the branches of the trees in that part of the forest to move.
'A human and a demon?' That beast saw those two as it ran towards Lothur, using the terrain as 3rd stage spiritual beasts could not fly like humans.
After all, flying without wings required the ability to control spiritual energy outside the body, something only soul cultivators could do.
With that, that grand creature used its four legs to pursue its opponent, exposing its incredible speed and frightening Lothur.
'How could it be? How can a being that size be so fast?' Lothur wondered as he realized the enemy was getting closer to him.
From what Lothur could sense, the speed of that beast was about 25% faster than his, which should mean that its physical capabilities were superior to his by that proportion.
Realizing this, Lothur felt a little afraid since he did not have many EVF points at his disposal. If the opponent were too brutal, not even his super-regeneration or Physique ability would save him.
He could die facing this opponent!
'What am I going to do now? How do I get myself out of this situation?' His thoughts sped up, and he saw that his opponent was already a few dozen meters away from him.
"Human, you will pay for invading my territory!" The creature expressed its feelings, feeling extremely offended at having its land violated by that human.
Beasts were territorial animals, who would become aggressive simply because another being, be it animal or not, invaded their domain.
Without the consent of a beast such as this bear, any being weaker than this bear should avoid entering its territory. They should always prefer to communicate with such an individual before doing so.
Lothur had not done this, and his power could be considered alarming because of his extreme speed, a mark of powerful human cultivators by the standard of this area. So he could be considered an even more significant threat, which was why that creature pursued him even more violently than it usually would.
Having an insect in your domain was bad, but having a snake capable of stinging and hurting you was terrible.
Hence when it got close enough to its opponent, that bear used its capabilities to try to stop Lothur.
It swung its giant front paws and used its claws to knock down a thick tree branch. Then it leaned on its hind paws and threw such a thing in the direction of where Lothur was about to jump.
"Shit!" Lothur saw that big branch coming toward him and jumped up, moving to deflect the enemy's attack.
"Senior, this is a misunderstanding! I did enter your territory by accident!" He shouted as he managed to dodge the enemy movement narrowly.
But the bear paid no heed to that human's words and leaped toward Lothur, making an offensive move to tear its opponent's chest.
"That will be your punishment!"
Lothur hurled the demon in his hands at his enemy, causing such a being to use its own claws to slice that frowning creature.
"A mere demon in that pitiful state... Tsk, that's nothing to me!" It looked at Lothur again as that young man tried to move and buy time.
It would not do for him to attack, as this creature's skin was too tough for someone with an attack power as small as his to do any damage. So Lothur kept his weaknesses to himself and said. "Senior, please listen to me. I teleported to a nearby location, not knowing where that formation would bring me. That's the only reason I'm here!"
"Nonsense! You were aiming at my possessions!" The bear urged as it slashed toward Lothur's throat while this young man moved as best he could to dodge.
"I'm serious! I was fighting that demon when a Transcendent attacked me." He said, feeling the enemy's claws getting closer and closer to hitting him. "At that moment, I used the teleportation formation that a person gave me. That's the only reason I came to your territory!"
Swooish!
Just as one of that bear's claws was about to cut one of Lothur's arms in half, he acted quickly. He teleported dozens of meters ahead, where the demon was lying.
"Damn it!" That creature lamented that after regenerating its wounded body, Lothur picked it up again and started running away.
"Uh? You're full of tricks, human!" The bear turned around and chased after Lothur again, noting that this was not such an easy opponent to catch.
"But how long before you use all your cards up your sleeve?"
Lothur heard that and stayed silent, searching the area for other Transcendent beasts.
'If I don't run away from it, I'll die anyway. Then I may put it in conflict with another beast in the area.' Young Ritter considered this as he moved, using his visual ability to find other powerful beings in the area.
He knew he might end up in the worst situation if he came across another powerful beast allied with that bear. But since such a creature did not even need help to eventually catch Lothur, this young man preferred to take his chances.
At worst, he would be caught and killed, the only difference being time.
Since there were many powerful beings in this large region, Lothur soon found another being of level 16.
"I found it!"
Zum!
He teleported again using his Space Belt's ability, spending another fraction of his energies and increasing his distance from the enemy.
The red bear saw Lothur disappear from sight at the crucial moment for the second time and became even more irritated as it left its territory to enter that of its neighbor to the south.
Lothur ran toward a large bird that was hanging around near its nest, screaming as he ran away from his pursuer.
"Help!"
"It's out of control!"
The bird felt the three creatures entering its domain and looked intensely in their direction, identifying the human, beast, and demon.
"Moomo?" The bird looked at its neighbor, not understanding how this red bear would enter its territory without courtesy because of two weak beings.
This bird was not sensing Lothur's cultivation, and by now, this young man was much slower due to his fatigue. But, on the other hand, the demon in one of his hands was an insect to that beast, so it looked at its neighbor, fearing that the human's words were correct.
Maybe Moomo had been contaminated with something and started behaving strangely, so it could even be risky for that bird's territory to have it there.
This large bird, which looked like an eagle, only more than 1 meter tall, with white feathers and a black beak, jumped out of its nest toward that red bear.
"Moomo, what do you think you are doing? Do you think I will simply accept your aggression?"

'What am I going to do now? How do I get myself out of this situation?' His thoughts sped up, and he saw that his opponent was already a few dozen meters away from him.
"Human, you will pay for invading my territory!" The creature expressed its feelings, feeling extremely offended at having its land violated by that human.
