Old Coin, My Passionate Horse (Please Bookmark and Follow)

Perhaps after being reborn as a wolf, Xu Yang had inherited a wolf's sense of taste as well.

The freshly killed wild deer did not make him uncomfortable to eat. Instead, its tender flesh carried traces of sweetness.

It tasted as sweet as honey.

With a ring of bloody mush around his mouth, Xu Yang's ears suddenly twitched.

Hmm? Something was moving!

He stopped eating and warily raised his head, his gaze blazing as he searched the night for the source of the sound.

The sound was very faint, like a leaf falling to the ground.

Every muscle in his body tensed. The surroundings had also fallen into an eerie silence, and even the insects had stopped chirping. This only reinforced Xu Yang's suspicion. Something was wrong!

An Old Coin had come!

Second by second, time passed. The Old Coin hiding in the dark was exceptionally patient, and Xu Yang was starting to lose his nerve. He had only just transmigrated here, and the bustle and impatience of his previous life had left him with far less patience than he should have had. After nearly ten minutes of stalemate, irritation spread from the bottom of his heart through his entire body like creeping vines.

Damn it!

Xu Yang conceded. When it came to patience, he truly could not compete with a beast born and raised in the wild.

"Hah~~~"

A trace of dissatisfaction came from his throat. Xu Yang lowered his head, bit down on the wild deer's neck, and prepared to drag it away... He could not finish it in one meal, so he could save it for the next.

Rustle, rustle, rustle~~~~

Xu Yang's movements stirred up the Old Coin in the shadows.

Thud!

Footsteps suddenly sounded from a branch of a large tree nearby.

"Awoo~~~"

It was a leopard! A leopard a whole size larger than him! Its fur was sleek and glossy, and one look was enough to tell that it belonged to the wealthy class among beasts. Xu Yang took all of this in.

His eyes glimmered with an eerie green light in the darkness. This was a wolf's unique night vision, allowing him to see the surrounding scenery clearly in the Dark Night.

One above and one below, the two jungle hunters faced each other head-on for the first time!

Unlike Xu Yang, whose entire body was taut, the leopard looking down from above appeared far more composed. There was even a trace of mockery in its narrow Eyes. It had already observed him. This was a lone wolf, and a wolf that had lost its pack was nothing to fear. What was more, the wolf on the ground was covered in wounds and weak beyond measure...

"Awoo~~" A warning sounded from the leopard's throat, signaling Xu Yang to put down the wild deer and get lost.

Men died for wealth; wolves died for prey!

Xu Yang was unwilling to give up the spoils he had worked so hard to hunt.

Seeing how tactless Xu Yang was, the leopard's gaze suddenly sharpened. It slowly lowered its body, its tail Gently Wagging as it adjusted its state.

Whoosh!

A sharp sound of air being torn apart Sounded.

The leopard suddenly leaped up and pounced at Xu Yang.

The fully focused Xu Yang reacted at once. He rolled aside, narrowly evading the leopard's attack. After landing, the leopard swiftly turned around and pounced again.

Damn it!

At the moment of life and death, Xu Yang's ferocity was Stirred Up as well. He let out an angry roar, and the sharp claws tucked inside his paws swiftly sprang out.

I'm going all in!

The two beasts immediately grappled together.

Long-term malnutrition had left Xu Yang a whole level below the leopard in both size and strength. He quickly fell into a disadvantage, and two claw marks appeared along his side. Fortunately, he had avoided most of the force. Otherwise, they would not have been two claw marks, but two bloody holes.

The intense pain restored Xu Yang's human rationality, and he realized that fighting head-on was not a wise move.

He had only transmigrated here a few hours ago. There was no need to fight an Old Coin like this head-on. Besides, he was already full. It was not worth gambling his life over half a deer.

Once he understood this, Xu Yang immediately began thinking of retreating. As long as Qingshan remained, there would be no shortage of firewood... Once I grow stronger, I'll make you regret it, you Old Coin!

He fought as he retreated.

Borrowing the leopard's immense force, Xu Yang flipped over and rolled toward a puddle beside him.

"Splash."

Xu Yang fell into the puddle, soaking his fur again after he had finally managed to dry it.

"Roar!"

Xu Yang took off in a desperate sprint.

"Awoo~~~~"

Fortunately, the leopard's target was not him. Wolf meat was old and tough, while deer meat suited the leopard's taste far better. Seeing Xu Yang flee in disarray, the leopard seemed to roar twice in triumph, declaring its victory. It picked up the remaining half of the wild deer in its jaws, then nimbly leaped into the tree, preparing to return to its lair and enjoy this free late-night meal.

Xu Yang ran through the darkness for several minutes. Amid the faint sounds around him, noises came from all over the forest.

Damn it, the animal world is too dangerous. Every patch of forest has an owner, and breaking in rashly means another fight.

Xu Yang slowly eased his pace, feeling that it was far too hard to get by in this animal world.

Not only did he have to catch his own food, he could not even find a place to live. Cross a boundary even slightly, and it became a fight to the death.

Forget it. I should go back to that pool first. At least there aren't any other animals there for now.

Feeling the traces of pain from the wounds on his body, Xu Yang's spirits sagged. He had been in this world for several hours already, and he had done nothing but hunt and fight. It had left him utterly miserable.

Although wolves did not fear the darkness, the soul inhabiting this body was Xu Yang's. The experiences of his previous life made him instinctively reject the Dark Night. Even though he could clearly see his surroundings, Xu Yang still felt empty inside, with a sense of insecurity lingering at the tip of his heart.

Nothing happened along the way.

Xu Yang had not run very far, and by following his own scent, he soon returned to the small rift valley.

It was exactly the same as when he had left: the pool, scattered rocks, wasteland grass...

He was exhausted, but Xu Yang did not dare sleep right away. The wasteland grass varied in height, so Xu Yang licked clean the blood he had spilled onto it earlier. Though it was his first time being an animal, Xu Yang at least knew that the smell of blood in the wilderness was a dinner bell.

Phew~~ It seems that because of the system, my wounds are healing fairly quickly.

All the bloody wounds on Xu Yang's body had scabbed over, including the two deep gashes the leopard had inflicted half an hour ago.

After doing everything he could think of, Xu Yang could no longer hold on. Anyone who had gone through transmigration, hunting a wild deer, fighting a leopard, and that whole series of events would have no energy left to keep running around.

It was not just his body that was tired; the strain on his mind was even worse.

He found a clump of the tallest wasteland grass and lay down directly in it. It was only a crude disguise, but it could at least buy him some time. If another animal really came by in the middle of the night, he would not be spotted at a glance and die in his sleep.

Huff, huff~~

Good night, other world.

Farewell, Minion Xu Yang.

With a string of bubble-like stray thoughts, Xu Yang drifted into sleep...

Nothing happened through the night.

Warm sunlight shone through the sparse wasteland grass onto Xu Yang's body, and even his gray wolf fur reflected a faint sheen.

Mm~~ That was actually quite comfortable.

He slowly woke up.

Ever since graduating from college, Xu Yang had never slept until he woke naturally. Who would have thought that he would experience it again in another world?

Damn it! I knew it—how is this any different from being blind?

Xu Yang Opened his eyes and immediately discovered that his world had become distorted...
