With a sound like slicing meat ringing out, that sharp branch struck the lion's eye with perfect accuracy and continued to penetrate without any obstruction.
It only stopped after piercing straight through the lion's head.
The lion lost its life just like that and collapsed rigidly to the ground.
Boom!
Dust flew everywhere.
The lion's massive body produced a huge impact sound.

The crisis was resolved, and Dan Feng collapsed to the ground from exhaustion, his adrenaline state also wearing off.
Without food or rest, Dan Feng now only felt dizziness in his head and constant ringing in his ears.
"So tired..." Dan Feng panted heavily. Due to the excessive physical exertion, he had no energy left to care about that mysterious voice.
Dan Feng sat down on the spot and began trying to recover his stamina.
But after more than ten minutes, that wave of fatigue madly washed over Dan Feng's mind again.
Just like that, Dan Feng fainted.
At this moment, several people were quickly running toward this direction.
"Captain, it's over there!" A youth with earthy-yellow hair was speaking to the group behind him.
"Could it be that brown lion that escaped?" The man addressed as captain gripped his sword tightly.
"It ran this way, and the blood trail leads here too, so it's probably dead from blood loss," the earthy-yellow-haired youth guessed.
"Captain, look quick—it's that brown lion we injured!" The mage in the party pointed at the distant massive brown creature.
"See, Captain? I told you!" The earthy-yellow-haired youth wore an expression of everything under control.
These were adventurers from this world. Adventurers existed all over the world, and their main way of survival was completing quests to receive rewards.
Almost all adventurers aimed to become S-rank adventurers.
When the entire adventuring party arrived in front of the already-dead brown lion, they were immediately drawn to the branch stuck in the brown lion's head.
"Hm? Why is there a branch in this brown lion's head?" The captain leaped onto the brown lion's body and began inspecting the branch.
With just a light touch, the branch instantly turned to flying ash and quickly dissipated, leaving only a hole in the brown lion's head.
"This was done by a person?"
"Captain, there's someone over there!" The party's only mage suddenly pointed at Dan Feng lying on the ground ahead while the captain was still inspecting.
Hearing this, the captain followed the mage's finger.
A boy who looked about sixteen years old lay there motionless.
"Mita, let's go check it out. Olka, take the two newbies and start dismantling the brown lion." Captain Aris said to the earthy-yellow-haired youth, then ran toward Dan Feng with the mage.
"Got it." The earthy-yellow-haired Olka responded reluctantly, then turned to the two new adventurers: "You guys know how to dismantle materials, right?"
...
"Mita, looks like he's unconscious. Heal him."
"Okay! Sacred power is the fragrant grain; grant the one who has lost strength the power to stand again! [Heal]"
A green light representing vitality shone from the girl named Mita's hand. When it fell on Dan Feng, his wounds began to slowly recover.
Those injuries were from running and throwing; even the native shoes on Dan Feng's feet had been damaged from the intense sprinting.
"Could that branch have been this guy's doing?" Aris looked thoughtfully at the skin on Dan Feng's right hand that had been pierced by the branch.
After Dan Feng was fully healed, the side effects from the massive adrenaline surge were also cured by the basic healing magic.
His consciousness gradually returned.
Dan Feng abruptly sat up, his pupils dilated—clearly a startled expression.
When Dan Feng saw the two people standing in front of him, his body jerked violently, but he instantly regained composure. That frightened look vanished like a magic trick.
"Pfft~" Mita nearby couldn't help but laugh out loud. She covered her mouth with her hand, apparently amused by Dan Feng's instant face-change.
Aris paid no mind to Mita's laughter. His gaze fixed straight on Dan Feng as he pointed at the brown lion being dismantled and asked: "Hey, what's your name? Did you kill that brown lion with a branch?"
However, the language Dan Feng heard was like heavenly scripture to him—he couldn't understand a word Aris was saying. He thought inwardly: "What's this guy mumbling about?"
Just as Dan Feng was bewildered, a sudden sharp pain struck his head. Countless pieces of information flooded into his mind in an instant.
This information included all the basics of Cloud Rider spear techniques as well as the human language of this world.
As this knowledge poured in, Dan Feng's vision gradually cleared, and he finally understood what Aris had just said.
"My name is Dan Feng. I killed that brown lion." Dan Feng answered without hesitation, while inwardly guessing the group's intentions.
"Bro, you're pretty impressive. Judging by your clothes, you're probably a local from the Great Forest, right?" Aris gave a thumbs-up in praise. As an upper-rank North God Style swordsman, he could naturally tell that the person before him had no martial traits at all—his hand muscles didn't even look as sturdy as his own.
"Uh... I don't know." Dan Feng shook his head. He'd woken up here the moment he opened his eyes and wasn't sure if it was soul transmigration or body transmigration.
"You don't even know where your home is?" Aris was a bit surprised by Dan Feng's answer; it sounded a lot like someone with memory loss.
Dan Feng shook his head again. "No idea."
"You only remember your own name?"
Dan Feng nodded.
"Uh, alright then. Come back to Millishion with us." Aris said.
Suddenly, a gurgling sound came from Dan Feng's stomach.
"Sorry, do you have anything to eat? I'm starving to death." Dan Feng asked Aris embarrassedly.
Aris heard this and took out a few pieces of jerky from the small pouch hanging at his waist, handing them to Dan Feng.
"Thanks." Dan Feng took the jerky, thanked him, and immediately started devouring it.
After all, the long run and adrenaline rush had been constantly draining his energy.
Seeing Dan Feng eat so heartily, Aris shook his head with a trace of pity in his eyes. Then he said to Mita: "Mita, keep an eye on him here. Seems like he's got some memory loss."
Mita nodded at Aris's words. After that, Aris headed toward Olka to help dismantle the materials from the brown lion.
Dan Feng watched this group and fell into thought.
Then, feeling thirsty, Dan Feng turned back to the spacing-out Mita and asked: "Sister Mita, is there any water?"
Mita nodded, then used the basic water magic spell Water Ball Technique.
When Dan Feng saw magic for the first time, his expression was full of shock.
"This world actually has magic?!" Dan Feng muttered inwardly. Then his gaze suddenly noticed the virtual screen.
[Current Imbibitor Lunae template progress: 1%]
[Skills: Basic Cloud Rider Spear Technique, Chantless Magic Skills]
Dan Feng's eyes widened as he stared at the virtual screen in front of him, his heart filled with confusion.
What the heck is this thing? For a moment, he felt lost and at a loss.
However, when his gaze swept over the three words "Imbibitor Lunae" on the screen, suddenly a flood of memories surged into his mind like a tidal wave.
"Could it be... this is my system?" Dan Feng thought to himself, his voice carrying a hint of disbelief.
He couldn't help but get excited—after all, who could refuse transmigrating to another world with a system? This was something countless people dreamed of!
Especially for someone like him who had already lost all his family—it was an absolute dream come true.
Next, his attention was drawn to the skills section.
He saw the Basic Cloud Rider Spear Technique skill, and related memories immediately surfaced in his mind.
He realized he had completely mastered this basic spear technique.
However, when he saw Chantless Magic Skills, it felt somewhat unfamiliar.
This skill was a complete mystery to him—he didn't know what it truly meant or how to use it.
