He kept struggling forward, he was unwilling to give up.
Weaker beast men would have reverted back to their beast form by now or they would have just ran away from the start, no one would have been able to do what Vince was doing.
Vince kept going until he felt that he couldn't take it anymore.
He was now on all fours but still didn't transform to his beast form, he had also suffered some internal injury from the aura alone. He gritted his teeth and force himself to stand up, it was only when he stood up that he saw Hao Shen.
He was surprised to see Hao Shen there and was even more shocked at the lack of reaction from Hao Shen, although he could only see Hao Shen's back view, he noticed how at ease Hao Shen was.
He immediately knew that Hao Shen was not affected by the aura at all, it was as if he wasn't even standing in the middle of a level 3 beastman's aura.
'This is strange, how could a weak beastman that isn't even at level 1 be able to stand this pressure, is he really a beastman at all?' once this thought manifested in his mind it got stuck their and he couldn't help but ask "what are you?"
Just because he thought that Hao Shen wasn't a beastman didn't mean he would think that Hao Shen was female. They both stared at each other with shock reflecting on their face's.
Hao Shen was surprised by the question and even more so by the person asking it. He took two steps back, forgetting that there was a hot spring right behind him.
His leg slipped and his body fell backwards into the water.
The sudden fall caused him to gasp for air, but instead of air, hot water rushed into his mouth choking him and while trying to cough out the water he swallowed, more just gushed in.
Hao Shen was struggling in the water and Vince could only watch as he drowned, he couldn't move any closer to Hao Shen because of Kevin's aura .
Vince was confused as to how this happened, but before he could think of what to do, a gush of wind dashed past him and the next thing he knew was that Hao Shen was pulled out of the lake.
Thankfully Hao Shen had not been drowning for long and as soon as he was pulled out he started coughing out the water he had swallowed, water was leaking from his nostrils.
Tears was even rushing out of his eyes as he coughed, this was a painful experience for Hao Shen, his throat and chest felt like they were on fire, his heart was beating really fast as if afraid of suddenly stopping.
...
With out Hao Shen on his arms Kevin was able to run much faster, the cold wind from his sprint was able to calm him down, he didn't know what Hao Shen needed but he grabbed everything he knew belonged to Hao Shen and rushed back.
He was just a little close to the hot spring, when he picked up the muffled sounds of someone drowning, he immediately knew who it was and rushed over, he transformed into his tiger form to increase his speed, and was able to get their in time.
Mid run, he turned back to his human form and pulled Hao Shen out of the water.
Only after seeing that Hao Shen was stable, that he left Hao Shen to vent his anger on Vince who was the only suspect at the moment.
...
While Hao Shen was drowning all he could think of was 'would Kevin be able to save me', ever since he came to this world the only person who cared for him was Kevin, and Kevin had also saved him before so he couldn't help but to subconsciously hope that Kevin would come save him.
But when he was about to faint, all hopes of Kevin ever coming to save him vanished, he knew how far the cave was from here, he thought that Kevin wouldn't be fast enough to save him in time.
