Chapter 3 Old Coin, My Passionate Horse
Chapter 3 Old Coin, My Passionate Horse (Please Collect and Read)
Perhaps after being reborn as a wolf, Xu Yang also inherited the wolf's sense of taste.
The freshly hunted wild deer did not taste unpleasant to him; it was tender and smooth with a hint of sweetness.
Sweet as sweet.
There was a circle of blood around his mouth, and Xu Yang's ears suddenly moved.
Hmm? There's movement!
He stopped eating, raised his head vigilantly, and searched for the source of the sound in the night with his sharp eyes.
The sound was very light, like the sound of a leaf falling to the ground.
The muscles of his whole body tensed up, and the surrounding environment fell into an eerie silence, even the chirping of insects disappeared. This further confirmed Xu Yang's idea that there was a problem!
Old coins are coming!
Time passed by minute by minute, and the old coin hiding in the dark was extremely patient, which made Xu Yang a little overwhelmed. Having just crossed over, the prosperity and impetuousness of his previous life made his patience not so good. Now that the stalemate had lasted for nearly ten minutes, he felt that the irritability was spreading from the bottom of his heart to his whole body like a vine.
I go!
Xu Yang admitted defeat. He really couldn't compete with the native beasts in terms of patience.
“Hoo~~~”
With a hint of dissatisfaction in his throat, Xu Yang lowered his head, bit the wild deer's neck and prepared to drag it away... If he couldn't finish it in one meal, he could save it for the next meal.
Rustle~~~~
Xu Yang's actions stimulated Old Coin in the dark.
pat!
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps landing on the branch of a big tree nearby was heard.
"Ow~~~"
It was a leopard! A leopard that was a whole circle bigger than himself! Its fur was shiny and glossy, and it was obvious that it belonged to the wealthy class of wild animals. Xu Yang saw all of this.
His eyes flickered with a faint green light in the darkness. This was the wolf's unique night vision ability, allowing him to see the surrounding scene clearly in the dark.
One up and one down, the two jungle hunters faced off for the first time!
Unlike Xu Yang, who was tense, the leopard, who was looking down from a high place, seemed much more relaxed, with a hint of teasing in his narrow eyes. He had already observed that this was a lone wolf, a wolf without a group, so there was nothing to be afraid of. What's more, the wolf on the ground was covered with wounds and was extremely thin...
"Ao~~" The leopard made a warning sound from its throat, signaling Xu Yang to put the wild deer down and get out of here.
People die for money, wolves die for beasts!
Xu Yang was unwilling to give up the spoils he had hunted so hard for.
Seeing Xu Yang being so ignorant, the leopard's eyes suddenly became sharp. It slowly lowered its body, gently wagging its tail. It was adjusting its state.
Whoosh!
The sharp sound of breaking wind sounded.
The leopard suddenly leaped up and pounced towards Xu Yang.
Xu Yang reacted immediately, rolling his body and narrowly avoiding the leopard's attack. After landing, the leopard turned around quickly and continued to pounce.
I go!
At the moment of life and death, Xu Yang's blood was also aroused. He let out a roar, and the sharp claws retracted in the soles of his feet quickly popped out.
Fight!
The two beasts immediately started fighting each other.
Long-term malnutrition caused Xu Yang's size and strength to be one level smaller than the leopard. He soon fell into a disadvantage and had two claw marks on his side. Fortunately, he avoided most of the force, otherwise it would not be two claw marks, but two blood holes.
The severe pain restored Xu Yang's human sanity and made him realize that fighting hard was not a wise move.
I have only been here for a few hours, there is no need to fight with such an old coin. Besides, I have already eaten, it is not worth it to risk my life for half a deer.
After figuring this out, Xu Yang immediately decided to retreat. As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood... When I become powerful, I will make you, an old coin, pay off!
Fight and retreat at the same time.
With the help of the leopard's great strength, Xu Yang turned over and rolled towards the puddle next to him.
"Crack." Xu Yang fell into the puddle, and his hair, which had finally dried, became wet again.
"Roar!"
Xu Yang spread his legs and ran for his life.
"Ouch~~~~"
Fortunately, the leopard's target was not him. Wolf meat was old and tough. In comparison, venison was more to the leopard's liking. Seeing Xu Yang fleeing, the leopard roared twice as if in triumph, declaring its victory. Picking up the remaining half of the wild deer, the leopard nimbly jumped onto the tree, ready to return to its nest to enjoy this free midnight snack.
Xu Yang ran in the dark for several minutes, and he could barely see or hear any noises in the forest.
"Oh my god, the animal world is too dangerous. The territories in the forest all have their owners. If you barge in rashly, you'll end up in a fight."
Xu Yang slowly slowed down his pace, feeling that it was too difficult to survive in this animal world.
Not only do they have to catch their own food, but they can't even find a place to live. If they step out of line, they will face a life-and-death struggle.
"Forget it, let's go back to the waterhole first. At least there are no other animals there for now."
Feeling the slight pain from the wounds on his body, Xu Yang felt exhausted. It had been several hours since he came to this world, and he was either hunting or fighting, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Although wolves are not afraid of darkness, the soul in this body is Xu Yang. His experiences in his previous life make him subconsciously reject darkness. Even though he can see the surrounding scenery clearly, Xu Yang still feels empty inside, with a sense of insecurity lingering in his heart.
The journey was uneventful.
Xu Yang didn't run far, and following his body odor, he soon returned to the Small Rift Valley.
It was exactly the same as when he left, with puddles, rocks, and weeds...
Although he was very tired, Xu Yang did not dare to sleep right away. The weeds were uneven, and Xu Yang licked the blood that he had spilled on the weeds. Although it was his first time as an animal, Xu Yang at least knew that the smell of blood in the wilderness was the bell for dinner.
"Huh~~ It seems that my wounds heal faster because of the system."
All the bloody wounds on Xu Yang's body were scabbed over, even the two big cuts from the fight with the leopard half an hour ago.
After trying his best to reach the limit of his imagination, Xu Yang could no longer bear it. No one who had experienced a series of events such as time travel, hunting wild deer, and fighting leopards would have the energy to jump around.
Not only is the body tired, but the mind is also tested even more.
Xu Yang found a tallest bush and lay down on it. Although it was just a trick, it could at least give him some buffer time, so that if other animals came in the middle of the night, he would not be discovered and die in his sleep.
woohoo~~
Good night, different world.
Farewell, Minion Xu Yang.
With a series of bubbling fantasies, Xu Yang fell asleep...
……
Nothing happened all night.
The warm sunlight shone onto Xu Yang through the sparse weeds, and the gray wolf fur actually reflected a hint of light.
"Hmm~~ I slept quite comfortably."
Wake up slowly.
Since graduating from college, Xu Yang has never slept until he wakes up naturally. Unexpectedly, the next time he experiences it, he will be in a different world.
"Oh my god! I knew it. What's the difference between this and being blind?"
Xu Yang opened his eyes and immediately discovered that his world was distorted...
