Chapter 115: Awakening
Translator:Editor:
Although it was more than 50 m away, it only took Zhang Tie several seconds to get there.
As he darted through the bamboo grove with the fastest speed he could muster, the scene Zhang Tie saw almost made his eyes pop out from fury.
Alice and Beverly were hurriedly rushing towards Zhang Tie, and closely following behind was the thin Pandora. In addition to them, there were four wolves closely chasing after Pandora, and the wolf closest to Pandora was only 2.5 to 3 m away from her.
Pandora’s face was covered with fear. The wolf chasing after her had already jumped into the air and widely opened its mouth in preparation to bite Pandora’s neck.
Time seemed to stop at this moment. If her neck was bitten by the wolf and torn apart by the sharp canines, her artery and trachea would likely be injured within a second, which may prove to be a fatal injury.
“Pandora!” Zhang Tie roared.
At this moment, Zhang Tie, who was rushing towards them, was still more than 20 steps away from Pandora.
At the sight of Zhang Tie, although she did not know the reason, all the fear that was on Pandora’s face disappeared and was instead replaced with a tranquility.
At the same time, Zhang Tie started his counterattack. He had never thought that he would one day start an attack from more than 20 steps away from the target.
In Zhang Tie’s eyes, time seemed to have stopped...
He saw the wisp of tranquility on Pandora’s face...
He saw the dripping saliva at the corner of the midair, wild wolf’s mouth...
He even saw the mud and broken stones that were dispersed into the air as he dashed forward and the slight waving movements of the weeds due to the breeze.
Glaring at the wolf that had jumped into the air, each strand of fur on that wolf became clear in Zhang Tie’s eyes.
With eyes fixed on the fatal point of the wolf’s neck, Zhang Tie felt as if something had lit up in his mind. At the same time, he felt a weird connection between the spear in his hand and the fatal point on that wolf’s neck. A channel that was invisible yet could be sensed seemed to come into being at that moment. The channel was funnel-shaped and the most pointed spot was on the neck of that wolf.
It was a mysterious feeling. At that moment, Zhang Tie thought that even if his eyes were closed, as long as he threw his spear, he would definitely hit that wolf. This was not confidence but certainty. It was much like how a naughty kid could casually take glass beads and flick them into a large, upright funnel. No matter how the glass beads move, it would, in the end, arrive at the most pointed exit of the funnel.
Thus, Zhang Tie exerted all his strength and threw his spear along with the huge momentum of him dashing forward...
The moment Zhang Tie threw his spear, everyone, including Alice, Beverly, and even the people following Zhang Tie like Barley, felt their hearts pounding. At that critical moment, Barley and the others had even thought that Zhang Tie had lost his mind. Although they had learned how to use the spear at school, the throwing skills that they had learned required team work. In special occasions, they could defeat their enemy using a high density of spears; however, given its precision, no single student in the entire school dared to show off their throwing skill alone. Unexpectedly, the spear that Zhang Tie had thrown was directly flying towards the three girls rushing towards him and the wolf closely chasing after the three girls. Even if there was a throwing angle and Zhang Tie didn’t actually target at the girls, it was still too dangerous to launch an attack in such a manner...
Considering that it was an emergency, nobody had time to think about the outcome if Zhang Tie failed to hit the wolf precisely. However, in a split second, the situation was reversed.
The spear flew over a distance of 20 steps as a sharp wind blew past Alice and Beverly’s panic stricken faces and passed Pandora’s ear by the width of a hair. Previously, the wolf had opened its bloody mouth, intending to bite Pandora’s neck; however, the spear directly pierced through its neck and nailed it to the ground five steps away, causing the wolf to instantly die.
