Hunter And Prey

The ground under me shook, heavily so, enough that one would think it was an earthquake.

Something was coming and it was coming fast.

The problem is, I have no idea where it was coming from. But standing still is meaningless. I randomly picked a direction and legged it.

As I was running away, I pulled up a batch of talismans, explosive ones that blow up the moment they're stepped on. I threw several of them behind me as I ran forward taking any turn left or right as I moved.

Suddenly, a loud explosion echoed behind me, the talismans were triggered. They were obvious for any cultivator meaning that anyone would have jumped or dodged away from them, but not for beasts, because beasts have no idea what those are, and thus they blew up.

The problem is, more explosions echoed even after the first one, meaning that not only one wolf, but an entire pack was coming after me.

Shit.
