Capítulo 39: Instincts

Yun Lei watched as the last wolf's unfurled jaws got closer and closer towards his flesh. But the closer the beast got, the slower it moved. Or at least, that was how it appeared to him.

Even without being able to smell it, he could easily predict how the wolf intended to end his life. Perhaps, his brain just compiled every bit of information as fast as it could, allowing him to see slowed down images of what was happening around him, giving him more time to react.

No amount of time would help him get out of the bog he found himself in, sadly. He could only raise his hands to protect his throat while bracing for impact.

The beast collided with Yun Lei, easily knocking the young man, who had lost the use of his legs, to the ground. It didn't even wait for a single moment as it immediately snapped towards his neck. There was little he could do besides defending himself with his flimsy hands.
