Wolves surrounded them on all sides.
At least, that was what Shen Yan thought.
Every roar of a beast outside the cave seemed to tug at her nerves.
When she first encountered such immense pain, it had been like an instinctive reaction. Whenever the howls rang out, they seemed to touch the fear in her heart. In her blurred consciousness, she seemed to see once again that bloody maw tearing into her flesh.
"Don't... don't..."
Her face was pale. Having lost so much blood, the girl Lin An had carried into the cave stared dazedly at the darkness overhead.
She could barely make out where she was.
Cold, eerie, dark.
Having already lost too much blood, she felt as though she had been cast into hell. The howls of demons echoed in her ears, as if they would drag her into endless fear again in the next moment.
Through her overlapping vision, the entire world seemed to darken.
Only the warm, sturdy body behind her made her feel as though she was still alive.
Holding the girl in his arms as he sat in the cave, Lin An coldly observed Shen Yan's condition.
The effect was excellent.
At that moment, the girl was like a soldier who had just returned from the battlefield, already trapped in a dazed, terrified state. Her feeble fingers struggled to clutch Lin An's thigh like a lifeline, while her body trembled uncontrollably.
It was both fear and excessive blood loss.
If one ignored the fact that the girl was on the verge of death, everything matched Lin An's standards.
Of course, he would not let Shen Yan die.
"I'll protect you."
With a low chuckle, Lin An leaned down and whispered gently into the girl's ear, as if burning an undying mark into her mind
