A quick sidestep to the right, and you narrowly avoided the threat.
When you turned around, a look of surprise could not help but show on your face, as what appeared before you was a wolf as large as an adult tiger?
Or was it a dog?
"Woof!"
It really was a dog!
Facing its fully bared tusks, you kept retreating backward.
The large dog did not pursue you, merely forcing you back two or three meters before it stopped the chase, but it still stared at you with wide eyes, unwavering in its gaze.
This dog was quite interesting.
Speaking of dogs, you were actually quite fond of them. You had owned one as a child, Little Hei, with fur as black as this large dog's. However, Little Hei was just an ordinary mutt, not large in size and lacking the attractive appearance of a pet dog, yet it had played the role of both a Guardian and a friend during your childhood.
