Chapter 2 It would be nice if it tasted like barbecue
The action was engraved deep in his genes, and Xu Yang performed it subconsciously without having to think.
The wings of his nostrils twitched slightly, and the pads of his feet carefully skimmed over the gravel, for fear of causing any sound that was inconsistent with the environment.
"It's a deer."
Thanks to the wolves' natural vision advantage, Xu Yang could see the creatures in the dark clearly.
A deer was lowering its head, carefully nibbling on the moss on the ground. The deer was not small in size, and was at least 1.4 meters tall when standing on all fours.
Feeling the faint scent of deer wafting upwind.
"I'm so hungry..." Xu Yang felt a twitching in his abdomen. It was his stomach protesting!
I miss the old days when I could just move my fingers and someone would deliver the takeaway to me...well, even though I was a delivery man.
But at least the human world has order and money, so even if you become a Sanhe God, you won’t starve to death. But now that you have traveled through time and space and become a wolf, if you don’t hunt, you will really die!
Perhaps the hungrier he was, the more distracting thoughts he had. Now Xu Yang was actually falling into nostalgia for the past again.
"Click."
The sound of dead branches breaking.
The wild deer that was looking for food with its head down suddenly became alert. Its head kept turning on its upright body, and its two ears were also alertly receiving information from the surrounding environment.
Xu Yang was also startled by the sound, and he subconsciously crouched down, fearing that the wild deer would discover his tracks.
I finally found my prey, but if I run away I'll go hungry...
It was two full minutes before the deer relaxed its guard. It was probably because the dead branch broke by itself, not because of a predator.
huh~~
Xu Yang also breathed a sigh of relief. He became more careful, putting all distracting thoughts behind him, and only focused on the wild deer fifty meters away.
The wolf is iron and the meat is steel. If you don’t eat for a meal, you will be very hungry.
Approaching cautiously, Xu Yang almost pressed his belly against the wet soil.
Forty meters.
Thirty meters.
Twenty meters.
"Wow—"
The deer seemed to sense something, perhaps an instinctive intuition that had been trained in the dark. It didn't need to be seen with one's own eyes, but the deer began to get restless. Its four hard hooves knocked on the soft black soil, making a muffled echo.
Looking at the large piece of delicious moss grass in front of it, the wild deer was a little hesitant. It was not sure whether it should leave first.
At this time, Xu Yang buried himself in the weeds, not daring to breathe, with his eyelids half drooped, just to cover up his green pupils that were like ghostly fire.
"Yoyo~~~~"
The sound of deer came from afar. It was the herd calling its lone companion.
"I go!"
He couldn't wait any longer. Even though it was his first time as a wolf, Xu Yang knew how lucky he was to encounter a lone wild deer like this!
When watching the animal world, we usually see that the deer have sentries while foraging. How could they allow predators to get within twenty meters?
“Rustle, rustle~~~”
Xu Yang started quickly, bent his hind legs, and then pushed the ground hard to push his body forward. At the same time, he stretched out his front paws as far as he could, and the sharp claws on the third section were retracted inward, so that the palms of his hands came into contact with the ground, and he bounced back faster.
Like a gust of wind, the wolf's fur rustled against the weeds.
“Yo~yo!”
The wild deer was already in a semi-alert state, and it let out a rapid cry the moment Xu Yang rushed out. The sound was sharp and trembling, echoing in the quiet forest, and seemed particularly harsh.
Almost at the same moment, the deer's limbs exerted force, and its body jumped up like a spring, running wildly into the depths of the forest. Its limbs left deep hoof prints on the ground, and each step was extremely urgent and powerful. Driven by the instinct of survival, the deer showed amazing speed and agility, trying to escape from this sudden danger.
"You are afraid of being killed by me, and I am afraid of starving to death..."
Twenty meters was a blink of an eye for Xu Yang, who could run at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour. As soon as his front foot touched the ground, his back foot exerted force and threw his body out.
Involuntarily, Xu Yang's tail would slightly curl up to help him maintain body stability.
"YoYo!"
Perhaps driven by hunger, Xu Yang's speed was actually faster than that of the wild deer, and the distance between the two was visibly shortened.
"Plop!" The wild deer's hooves stepped heavily on the flooded depression, splashing turbid muddy water.
Xu Yang did not dodge or evade. He narrowed his eyes slightly to prevent mud and water from entering, and rushed over directly.
Although he had become a 'drowned wolf', Xu Yang's eyes were still glowing green.
Almost there, almost there, I’ll be able to touch the wild deer’s butt!
squeak--
As if it weren't already raining, the wild deer panicked and didn't know where to land. It didn't even find the right spot and stepped on the slippery moss... and it slipped away.
"Roar!"
Xu Yang was overjoyed. He pounced forward and the third claws of his two front paws popped out and hooked into the wild deer's body.
Fixed!
Xu Yang was like a koala. He used his sharp claws to hang himself on the stray wild deer and knocked it down with his own weight.
boom!
The wild deer fell to the ground unwillingly, and struggled violently in its instinctive desire to survive. However, Xu Yang's sharp claws were deeply embedded in the deer's body like steel nails.
The pain and fear prompted the wild deer to burst out all its strength and struggle frantically.
Xu Yang could only roll around with the wild deer, and the wounds on his body became painful again due to the friction of sand and gravel.
He grimaced in pain.
It's so hard to have a meal...
Perhaps the wild deer's prolonged struggle triggered the body's instinct again. Xu Yang suddenly found that the neck under the wild deer's wailing head was so tempting... like a soft and delicious tiramisu cheese cake, which made him swallow his saliva involuntarily.
"This... looks delicious."
Driven by hunger, Xu Yang bit it with all his heart.
"Pfft!"
There was a sound of a sharp blade cutting through rotten leather, followed by the sound of a tomato bursting, with thick juice flowing down Xu Yang's throat into his stomach.
Ding! A very slight prompt sound appeared.
[Resource +1]
Gudu, Gudu...
Xu Yang was so hungry that he didn't hear anything at all.
"Delicious, really delicious..." Xu Yang sucked absentmindedly, greedily and ferociously.
Slowly, slowly, the wild deer under Xu Yang stopped struggling, and the temperature of its body surface dropped rapidly, leaving only the residual heat of the corpse.
"Hoho~~"
About ten minutes later, Xu Yang felt a slight sense of fullness in his stomach, which pulled him out of his trance of enjoying the delicious food.
"Roar!"
After filling his stomach slightly, Xu Yang was slightly shocked... Just now... he had bitten a deer to death? And he was enjoying swallowing its blood?
The experience of being a human for a long time in his previous life made Xu Yang feel a little psychologically uncomfortable, but he did not feel any physical discomfort at all, perhaps because it was because he took over the body of this wild wolf.
Eating raw meat and drinking blood has been the custom since ancient times.
Just as Moral Stamp was about to drag Xu Yang into the vicious circle of 'reflection and self-blame', he quickly slapped himself in the face.
Damn it, I’ve been reborn as a wolf, why am I still following that?
I will eat meat, drink wine, no, drink blood...
Fiercely, Xu Yang's sharp canine teeth bit through the wild deer's fur, revealing the fresh flesh and blood inside.
Go, go, go.
It's salty and moist, but I don't feel any fishy smell...
Unexpectedly delicious, ahem, it would be even better if it had barbecue flavor.
Xu Yang thought so.
