The beast was sheath and have the ability to camouflage. It was nearly impossible to see the beast.
So, The Idea was to outsmart the beast of its strength. While Lee will hit the beast with the bow and when the beast will be detected Ruan Thiuan will ensure the second attack with the dagger, so that the will be defeated in this way.

Lee wasn't sure of what he was trying!
He had only seen some of the video of Martial Arts that was in his past dimension as Matthew. He tired to remember the video that he used to watch in order to improve his video gaming abilities. May be this will help him now.
Those videos had special visual effects to make them more realistic. He had watched several tutorials with performing high jumps, splits and striking or breaking objects, kicking and breaking things with bare hands. These was done by using the joysticks, but never before he had tried on real life.
It seemed like he has to deploy new of skills of martial art.

Ruan Thiaun snapped at Lee. She gave her an arrow with bows.
"Use this precisely, use your listening skills rather than looking."
Lee was astonished how the hell he will kill the animal with an arrow by not looking at it.
Ruan Thiaun spotted his doubt. She said to him.
"Listen carefully."
Lee took the newly made hunting bow in his hand. Pulled out a sharp arrow in the bow and stood firmly pointing at the bushes. He tried hard to recall the essentials Ruan Thiaun had explained.
The colossal beast jumped from the bushes. Lee pulled the arrow hard and left the shot of the bow.
Wossh…
The arrow missed the colossal beast by several meters. The beast nearly hit Lee with its big claws but Ruan Thiaun strike the best with her dagger. The beast mourned as the dagger sliced through its skin. The beast went back to the woods preparing for another attack.
Lee opened his blind fold, his face had turned red. He was very disappointed.
Ruan Thaiun has just saved him from the fierce strike of the beast.
The blind fold was not working for him. In his mind he looked disappointed.
Black Shadow/ Theo Lee was discouraged that he did not only missed. But he missed by a mile.
Lee felt very disappointed.
"I am not good in archery, and with blind folded I don't thing I can hit that thing."
Ruan Thiaun came close to him.
"Lee, Try to communicate with the inner soul of your. Always remember Listen to learn and learn to listen."
Lee looked more focused as he organized himself and aimed at the bushes. The lack of night and the hazy weather was not helping him.
Lee took the bow and pulled the arrow targeting the bushes, he asked Ruan to cover his face.
He began to keep his entire focus on the ears. Slowly but surely he had began to realize the one thing he had missed; the importance of listening skills.
The forest was not really silent Afterall. He could hear the sounds of the wings and flapping of the wings of the leaves. He could feel his the sound coming from the northeast side of the bushes.
Lee turned himself to that position with the sharp arrow pointing towards the target. Ruan crouched behind to take her position.
Suddenly the sound of the beast was more profound. The magnificent beast came fiercely towards Lee. Lee did not hesitate but he left the hold of the arrow at the beast. The sharp arrow pierced through the beast's legs. The beast was furious, it moaned with pain. The beast pounced on his body and attacked viciously with its claws. Lee gathered all his strength, leaned forward and thrust the beast. Then Ruan Thiaun made a quick turn and slashed the body of the beast with the dagger. The beast was wounded it went back to the bushes.
Lee was hit in his arms with the sharp claws of the beast. Lee gritted his teeth from the unbearable pain.
"You are hurt."- Ruan looked at Lee's arms.
Lee paused and gave signal to Ruan to be quiet. He had a feeling that the wounded beast was near, it will attack soon.
Lee took another sharp arm, this time he understood what he needed to do. He turned around and began to relax himself. Took some deep breath.
He could hear his own heart beat. Which was beating so fast. He needed to calm down. He needs to concentrate. Lee could see the world around him with his ears. This time he was focused.
Lee was right the beast came back roaring to attack Lee, Ruan was astonished to See Lee was not responding. He kept waiting till the beast was meters away from Lee.
Then at the last moment Lee left the shot of the bow. The arrow pierced through the beast tiny eye, sinking in deep. The beast howled. Sunny took the sword in his hand and twisted it in the bones of the beast, trying to do as much damage as he could.
Ruan came from behind and pushed her dagger into the skull of the beast. For seconds the beast kept trembling then the pressure of its body decreased.
Lee moaned and drew in raspy, painful breath.
