278 Words
Bai Xiaoyue left after playing on Su Yun’s back for a while, inviting him to her home before departing.
*Rabbit burrow?* Su Yun almost laughed. *My horns alone would get stuck.*
"Boring!" He galloped across the meadow, bellowing off-key: *"I’m the invincible, adorable little—"*
The wooden yoke around his neck chafed. *Gotta ditch this thing.*
He charged toward a colossal tree trunk.
**c***k!** The yoke shattered against the bark.
**"Awooo—!"**
A three-meter-tall wolf with dagger-like fangs emerged from the bushes.
**[Warning! Mid-tier Warbeast – Moonhowl Wolf King detected. Flee immediately!]**
"Ya think?!" Su Yun bolted.
The wolf king’s claws tore through the earth, closing in fast. *"Little calf! You’re mine!"*
"F*ck off, Fido!" Su Yun activated **Gale Control**, his hooves blurring.
*"You… know techniques?!"* The wolf king’s eyes gleamed. *"Eat you, and I’ll break through to late-stage!"*
Dusk fell. Ahead, dozens of green "lanterns" flickered—wolf pack eyes.
Trapped.
**"DIE WITH DIGNITY!"** Su Yun lunged at the pack.
**[Ding: Achievement – "Burn the Boats". Reward: **Razor Fangs**.]**
Four 10cm fangs erupted from his jaws.
*Wait—am I still a bull?!*
**CRUNCH!** He impaled a wolf pup. Blood flooded his mouth—sweet, metallic.
**[Ding: Achievement – "Why Not Feast on Meat?". Reward: **Inner Cosmos**.]**
Ravenous, he devoured the corpse whole.
**[+1 Evolution Point!]**
*Jackpot!* Su Yun turned frenzied. Pups fell to his horns and fangs.
The wolf king howled, *"WHAT ARE YOU?!"*
"Your doom!" Su Yun’s hide thickened with **Iron Hide**.
**CLANG!** The wolf king’s bite glanced off his neck.
**"SAVAGE CHARGE!"**
Horns gored the wolf’s underbelly.
**SPLAT!**
**[+10 Evolution Points!]**
Exhausted, Su Yun collapsed beside the carcass. *"Sleep first… murder later…"*
