Chapter 10 (1/2)
Chapter 10 Sorry dear friend, I shall live !
The first Timberwolf jumped, motioning its hinds legs, but unluckily for the feral beast, Zhang Yang already predicted which wolf would attack first. He can determine the wolf's actions by looking at their aching muscles and dark eyes. He is prepared for an attack at every angle.
If you were to watch the fight in slow-motion, then you would see the neck of the first wolf caught. It might not seem like Zhang Yang seized it, but in actuality, the wolf's neck was already sliced in a few breaths.
Along with the effects of his Spiritual Sense and the Body Bulking Talisman, the strong yet stiff zombie won the first bout with the wolves.
But danger still lurks, a third and fourth wolf make their ways to Zhang Yang.
But, Zhang Yang is ruthless, he uses the dying wolf as a bat to swing at the coming wolves: he uses a wolf to hit a wolf.
Perfect hit! Two wolves roll to the ground.
But this. .h.i.t also puts Zhang Yang in a ghastly situation, by using his Spiritual Sense, he sees another wolf pouncing towards him. His grisly fangs were vivid, it was not avoidable.
Zhang Yang casually turns his body, he leaves his whole back exposed to the wolf. Hoping his back muscles will at least provide better defenses.
”Bang-”
The Timberwolf is as strong as a bull, the well-built body of the wolf comes in contact with Zhang Yang directly. Even with the Body Bulking Talisman, Zhang Yang could not fully defend against the hit, he falls flat to the ground.
”Hoooo-”
The Timberwolf has made his first strike! ”It” continues to motion towards Zhang Yang's neck, baring his fangs.
Zhang Yang goes for a jab at the Timberwolf's head with his right, knocking the Timberwolf down.
”Hooooo– Hoooooo-”
But, badly for Zhang Yang, he was still trapped on the ground. The wolves watched eagerly, and the rest of the ten Timberwolves ready to attack Zhang Yang. The zombie will be absolutely dismembered by these wolves.
Zhang Yang's pupils then dilate into small marbles, holding a Ground Sinking talisman. This will be his first time trying this talisman.
At the same time, two hurried howls sound from a distance.
”Aoooooo-Aoooooo”
Hearing this howl caused all the Timberwolves dead in their tracks. They immediately turn and run from their prey at the quickest speed possible. They didn't even have time to care for their dead friend. Within a minute, they float deep in the forest and vanish.
Everything just happened so quickly: It was so fast that Zhang Yang thought he was dreaming.
”Wuu—-”
Zhang Yang takes a deep breath, he stands stiff, seeing the wolves he killed.
His Spiritual Sense and talisman proved the most useful.
The weak point of a zombie is obvious, their stiff movement does not help in any way. Like his last move, he only managed to catch a wolf. But his stiff body prevented him from dodging the other wolf. So he helplessly watched as he was attacked by this feral beast.
Who knows? If the dogs hadn't left at the end, Zhang Yang would've undoubtedly been torn into pieces. After some hesitation, Zhang Yang thinks of the unthinkable:
”Maybe there's a Taoist from the Taoist clan saving me. Haha.”
Zhang Yang also thinks about how he still hasn't used the Ground Sinking talisman.
”But seriously, why would the wolves retreat at such a key point, they knew they could kill me unless… Something happened…”
Zhang Yang is very puzzled, he wouldn't think the vicious wolves that chased him all throughout the forest to be ones that would be kind enough to let them go.
”That howl must've signaled some type of emergency…”
Far away, from the direction the wolves disappeared. There suddenly flashes a bright light, along with the sound of thunder and whimpers.
The sound is conspicuous in the silent and clear night.
”That could only be the Lightning talisman! Whew, seems like someone got here coincidentally. The talisman must've attracted the wolves.”
”This guy saves my life euphemistically, but in the end, he got surrounded by the pack. What if he can't fight? Am I obliged to help?”
