Rebirth Into A Wolf: I Can See My Evolution Paths

Chapter 29

Black Figure

The sun set in the west.

The bright red sunlight shone on the lawn. Su Ming sat quietly and guarded this area, waiting for the main group to arrive.

The surroundings were still so quiet. It seemed that the small animals that had been dispersed would not return for a while.

Only when the wind blew through the forest would it make a sound.

Su Ming did not dare to relax. He braced himself and widened his eyes, unwilling to let go of any clues.

After all, he was the only wolf here. It was not strange for some creature to be attracted by the smell of the northern mountain goat.

Su Ming had to be prepared to fight at any time and be vigilant of the surrounding environment to prevent himself from being ambushed.

Pfft.

Suddenly, some sounds sounded from above Su Ming.

He suddenly looked up and saw a bird fly over his head. Its wingspan was more than five meters long. The shadow of the setting sun could completely cover Su Ming. This bird was only a little inferior to the golden eagle he had seen last time.

Fortunately, the other party did not look at Su Ming and the corpse of the northern mountain goat beside him. Instead, it flew into the distance.

Perhaps in its eyes, Su Ming and the corpse of the northern mountain goat were not worth paying attention to at all.

Su Ming heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was a false alarm. He was afraid that this bird would have designs on him. If they really fought, given the difference in their body size, he did not have any chance of winning.

“Hiss ~ Hiss ~”

The cry of the huge bird sounded from afar, as if it was mocking Su Ming for making a fuss.

Su Ming smiled helplessly and did not care at all. He continued to guard this area.

It quickly became calm again. No living beings appeared around it.

Calculating the time, Su Hui had also been gone for almost an hour. It should already be on the way with the hunting team.

Just as Su Ming thought that his mission was about to end, a sound sounded from the bushes in front of him.

Su Ming became vigilant. He looked in the direction of the voice, but there were no signs of any creatures rushing out.

In this situation, it was either the sound of some small animal that had returned or the other party had enough patience to observe first.

Su Ming could not come to a conclusion, so he tightened his back legs and assumed a combat posture, his eyes tightly looking around.

Indeed, under Su Ming’s careful investigation, he discovered a black figure hiding behind the forest.

The other party was tall and robust. It should be a snow leopard or a lynx.

It was obvious from the way it attacked as the other party was still observing Su Ming’s combat strength. After all, Su Ming’s two-meter-long body should have easily shocked the other party, making it not dare to rashly attack.

Su Ming stared at the bush the other party was hiding in. The other party was also staring at Su Ming’s location and the northern mountain goat beside him.

The two of them were in a stalemate for about ten minutes. In the end, the other party gave up first and retreated into the depths of the forest until Su Ming could not be seen at all.

Su Ming did not relax because of this. No one knew if this black figure had really left or if it was using an illusion to confuse him and then take the opportunity to attack.

He no longer looked at a single spot. Instead, he surveyed the surroundings from all directions.

As expected, he found traces of the black figure again.

This time, the other party had learned his lesson and actually hid in the bushes behind Su Ming without making a sound.

If not for Su Ming being vigilant enough, he would have really been deceived.

Su Ming changed his direction and showed the other party that its plan had already been seen through.

Clearly, the other party did not expect Su Ming to be able to discover its location again. The black figure retreated very decisively and disappeared from Su Ming’s sight.

Presumably, with this lesson, it should not appear again.

Su Ming looked around and confirmed that there were no more creatures. He relaxed a little, but he still maintained a vigilant state.

The setting sun shone on Su Ming’s face, making it somewhat dazzling. He moved his body slightly to avoid facing the sunlight. During this period, he still did not let his guard down.

A moment later, some noise sounded from the forest to the west. This was the direction where Father Wolf and the others would come from.

With their speed, they should have indeed arrived. Su Ming was somewhat glad that he had successfully defended this area and that Father Wolf and the others had finally arrived.

However, his companions should have walked out of the forest a long time ago. Moreover, the sound of them stopping when they arrived in the forest seemed to be a bad sign, as if it was warning him that the situation did not seem to be as good as he imagined.

Su Ming had a trace of doubt. Could it be that the ones who came were not Father Wolf and the others, but predators that had been attracted?

He looked in the direction of the voice and saw two robust black figures.

It was the guy from before. Su Ming recognized the figure on the right at a glance. It was the black figure who had been in a stalemate with him for a long time.

Damn it!

Did the other party bring its companions because it was certain that it was no match for him?

This guy was really persistent. It was as if once it took a fancy to a prey, it would do anything to obtain it.

The two black figures began to separate. They walked to the left and right respectively and observed Su Ming’s every move, searching for the moment he relaxed.

Su Ming felt that this situation was a little troublesome. The other party’s actions made it impossible for him to keep an eye on the two of them at the same time. He could only constantly change directions and frequently look at the bushes they were hiding in. This also prevented him from being prepared to defend at the first moment.

The two sides fell into a stalemate again. However, this time, the black figure had enough combat strength to resist Su Ming. Now, it was a competition of patience.

If Su Ming dared to relax in the confrontation, it was very likely that he would be attacked by two black figures at the same time.

For a moment, the situation fell into a very critical moment. Su Ming maintained his combat posture and used all the functions in his body to sense the changes in his surroundings.

He not only used his eyes, but even his nose, ears, and hair to help him notice his opponent’s actions faster.

Su Ming could sense a dangerous aura in the air. This was a sign that his opponent was about to take action.

Just as it was about to erupt, another sound sounded from the west. Unlike the previous time, this time, it was the sound of many creatures running.

These creatures walked straight over and actually collided with the two black figures.

Soon, the cry of a snow leopard sounded.

“Roar!”

Then, Su Ming saw two silver-white-striped figures rush out of the forest and quickly leave without looking back.

At the same time, Father Wolf appeared in front of Su Ming with the hunting team.

Su Ming smiled in relief and sat down, heaving a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Father Wolf and the others arrived in time. Otherwise, he really did not know if he could subdue the two snow leopards with his strength.
