On the distant horizons there were ten cultivators, judging from their uniform they should be disciples from a sect that and they are out on a field experiment.
Seeing them Zero felt that his luck had changed for the better and he turned and headed in their direction. Zero was not foolish enough to think that they would help him out of the goodness of their own heats but he could give the beast ten more targets to choose from.
Zero guessed that his chances of escaping would be better if the beast had someone else to hunt.
When Zero was getting close to the cultivator he notice that they were all young and should be around sixteen and seventeen years of age and they were all very bold or stupid.
Zero was running at full speed and he was running on an open plain that anyone could see for miles and Zero knew that they saw him heading towards them and they should be able to see the thing that was chasing him.
From their behaviour Zero could tell that all of them were not running instead they were taking up positions and preparing for a fight.
Zero felt that his luck was getting better for them to take up fighting position meant that they think that they could beat whatever was chasing Zero and this was more than what Zero expected to happen when he headed for them.
Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel Zero got his second wind and run even faster than before but he was not the only one that started running faster. Zero could hear the pace of the footsteps from behind him increasing and getting stronger. Zero could imagine the drama this would be Zero running at full speed for the only source of help and the beast getting ever so close to him. This would make for great entertainment.
Zero could hear the beast getting ever so close to him and from the stance the ten cultivators were taking Zero new that he could not expect any help them and the only thing he could do was run faster. They were waiting for Zero and the beast to fight and rash in when one of them is died to take all the spoils of war.
With the footstep from behind him getting close by the second Zero had no choice but to use his trump card, Zero greeted his teeth as he started operating the Dragon subduing art and like car that that had the turbo button hit Zero speed increase a lot. At the pace that Zero was running on he was like a green arrow shooting across the field.
The pain was unbearable but Zero did not care about that anymore and kept increasing his speed and he could hear that he was pulling away from the beast and getting close to the ten cultivators that looked ready to kill anything that came close to them. Zero noticed the way they looked at him and new that it would not be good for him to get close to them but there was nothing he could about it.
Just when Zero was starting to pull away from the beast a low growl came from behind him and the footstep that were chasing after him got louder and the pace increased a lot.
Zero could tell that from the new speed that the beast was running at the he won't last more than a second and the beast would be upon him. Zero was forced to turn around for the first time since the hunts begin.
For some reason Zero never looked back to try to see what was chasing him, he felt that if he knew what it was it would fill his heart with fear making him unable to think straight. But now all that was gone Zero could finally tell that the beast as going to kill him. A strong and beastly killing intent was fixated on him and Zero could feel that if he did not do anything at this moment they would no longer be a Zero in this world.
Zero turned around to look at what was behind him but he did not just turn around he also activated his Sharingan and the sight filled him with fear from the bottom of his heart. The beast was not that big which explain how light its footsteps were and it was all white and in should be some kind of dog.
Zero did not have time to take a good look at what kind of spirit beast it was the thing that attracted all his attention was its big open mouth with sharp white teeth. From the teeth Zero could tell that it was some kind of sabertooth.
The beast was finally making its move and Zero had not time to think of something cleaver to do but his instinct took over and he push his right hand into the coming open mouth and grabbed one of its sabertooth.
The action must have caught the sabertooth of guard because it did not bite the hand and that was the chance Zero needed. Driving the Dragon subduing to past the limit that his body could take Zero used all that power to throw the sabertooth.
The sabertooth was already in the air and moving and it hesitated the moment Zero grabbed its sabertooth that it did not offer any resistance at all.
Zero was already less than 50 meter away from the ten cultivator and that where he threw the saber tooth.
