Chapter 398: Ceased Breathing and Heartbeat
When Jasmine Yale finally roused from her drowsy state again, it was the sound of gunfire that woke her up.
She opened her eyes. The sky was still dark.
Her surroundings were so black that she couldn’t even see her own hands in front of her—it was like she was trapped in an abyss.
Another loud gunshot rang out!
Even though it sounded distant, Jasmine still reflexively covered her ears in fear!
This was the second time she had heard a gunshot. Not so long since the last time—only a few months ago.
Was it the sound of the Hunter’s gun?
Jasmine was extremely scared, her body curled up, icy cold.
She had no idea what was going on inside the villa. Had the fire been extinguished? Were those people out there searching for her?
Everything was an unknown.
She only knew that if she was caught by Chris Fern or the old man, she’d be done for, completely done for.
There would never be a chance to escape again!
With that realization, Jasmine felt a shiver run through her body.
Dragging her exhausted body, she staggered forward.
She had to leave, she couldn’t just sit and wait for death.
All of a sudden, another wolf howl!
Jasmine froze in fright. The wolf was still around? And by the sound of it, it seemed to be somewhere close by.
Jasmine was a little scared silly.
Who would build a villa near a forest, weren’t they afraid?
Or was it that this was a special place set up just to keep her captive, precisely to prevent her from escaping?
Bleeding from both her hands and feet, a sickening smell of blood filled the air around her.
The fear inside Jasmine surged to its peak, causing a throbbing pain in her head.
Just as she was groping around in the dark, suddenly———————
A dim green glow appeared right before her. It was a eerie sight, making the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end!
Jasmine was terrified!
Wolves! Those were the wolf’s eyes!
She bit her lip hard as she stumbled back, her face turning deathly pale.
One of the wolves howled, the sound filled with chilling desolation.
“No, no…” Jasmine cried, her hands shaking wildly.
She thought the wolf was a long way off, but to her horror, it was right next to her!
Jasmine dared not utter a sound as she ran frantically in the opposite direction.
She felt a sudden chill on the neck that was exposed to the air, as if a wolf had bitten her.
How could this be, how could this be?
Jasmine felt despair, completely at a loss…
Could she even survive? She really didn’t want to die…
The rain had stopped and the moon had emerged, casting a faint glow, the air around filled with a fresh scent.
Using the faint moonlight, Jasmine threw a glance over her shoulder, the eerie green glow was still there, making her hair stand on end.
There was a pack of wolves crouching on a pile of stones, motionless, like kings overlooking the world.
They seemed to be waiting for the perfect moment to attack, sharp and ferocious.
The distance between her and them was no more than fifteen meters.
It was probably because of the smell of blood on her that the eerie green glow soon turned towards Jasmine.
Wolves had a keen sense of smell.
Jasmine dared not move, dared not make a sound; she was so scared she even held her breath, and her heart seemed to have stopped beating.
She was really scared.
There were about five or six wolves in the pack.
If they all pounced on her at once, there would be only one outcome for her—death.
And she, had no strategy to deal with a pack of wolves.
Scared, Jasmine retreated…
She never imagined there would be wolves in this forest.
Panic engulfed her like a dense web, leaving her no room to breathe.
Jasmine took a few steps back. But the wolves didn’t make any sound.
She took a few more steps and created some distance between her and the pack.
A few more steps back, a few more steps back…
Just as she continued to retreat, there came yet another “Bang…” of a gunshot!
The pack of wolves seemed to be provoked.. Alert, their ears pricked up as they all turned to look in Jasmine’s direction!
