Walking in the cycle of reincarnation

Chapter 37 Mysterious Supernatural Power

Since being reincarnated as a wolf, Zhang Nanfeng has explored supernatural powers countless times.

Knowing that the seal was not broken and that repeated investigations would be futile, he could not suppress the throbbing in his heart.

It's like an inheritance that's about to be yours. You know it will eventually belong to you, but you can't help but weigh it, speculate on it, and assess its value.

Strangely enough, although he was in the form of a wolf in this world, he still retained a poison gland in his body.

This poison gland was located in an unfamiliar cavity within the body, nearly half the size of its previous form, yet with a more rounded outline. It seemed to be an organ that mammals should naturally possess, rather than an anomaly grafted on later.

At this moment, the gland was completely empty, with not a single drop of venom accumulated. Yet, whenever Zhang Nanfeng probed it with his divine sense, he could perceive the hidden potential within through that fascia. It was like a deep, unopened well, waiting only for fresh water to be poured in, so that it could be revitalized.

Therefore, the location where the two supernatural powers were dormant in the previous life is exactly the same as before.

The strange wind's supernatural power is hidden in the tailbone, and all poisons are concentrated within this poison gland.

Only the third supernatural power, which is the supernatural power of his wolf body in this life, is somewhat strange.

It does not conceal internal organs or muscles and bones, but rather resides in the eyes.

It must have been this supernatural ability that allowed him, only seven days after his birth, to be able to see clearly the withered grass in the wolf den, the texture of the rock crevices, and the light leaking through the cave.

In contrast, the other three wolf cubs in the den endured for half a month before their eyes cleared and they could barely make out their surroundings.

As for the strength of his bloodline, he had no way of knowing.

Before supernatural powers are activated, everything is like viewing flowers through a fog.

Just as he was pondering this, a cold wind carrying the stench of wolves swept into the cave and directly into Zhang Nanfeng's nostrils.

The mother wolf is back.

He was jolted awake and quickly pulled himself out of his internal vision, looking up at the acupoint.

As the snow inside the cave slid down, a gray-brown figure staggered, pushed aside the snow barrier, and crawled into the cave.

It was the mother wolf who had been out hunting for food for many days.

Upon its return, it appeared even thinner than before, its belly and ribs heaving rapidly, and its steps unsteady, clearly indicating that it had become somewhat exhausted from days of travel.

It had a grayish-brown wild rabbit in its mouth, its blood dried up, as if the mother wolf had sucked it dry.

Zhang Nanfeng twitched his nostrils slightly, and suddenly caught a very unusual scent from the mother wolf's fur.

Human touch!

His body tensed, and his four claws instinctively gathered strength.

Could someone be lurking around here? A hunter?

Zhang Nanfeng sniffed again and realized that the human scent had been washed away by the wind and snow for several days, leaving only a faint trace, and was not recently left behind.

The worry was not unfounded. He was still a wolf cub, and let alone encountering a hunter with a bow and arrow, he would be completely defenseless even if he happened to meet an ordinary village boy with a wood-chopping knife.

Having ascertained that there were no immediate dangers, Zhang Nanfeng finally relaxed.

The mother wolf stopped as soon as her front paws touched the dry grass in the burrow.

The four wolf cubs huddled together, without fighting or making a fuss.

The mother wolf, not understanding why, released her jaws and abandoned the hare on the dry grass.

The three wolf cubs, who had been sleeping soundly beside Zhang Nanfeng, were awakened by the smell of blood and flesh.

They twitched their nostrils, their eyes fixed on the hare, and rapid whimpers rolled from their throats, instinctively ready to pounce.

But the largest wolf cub had just taken a step when it seemed to suddenly remember something, and finally timidly withdrew its paws, glancing at Zhang Nanfeng.

The remaining two wolf cubs hesitated upon seeing this. They exchanged a glance, buried their noses in their front paws, and dared not move rashly.

Before the "wolf king" has even made a move, who dares to eat first?

This scene was witnessed by the mother wolf, whose eerie green eyes flashed with obvious astonishment.

It couldn't understand how the hierarchy within the wolf den could be completely overturned after only a few days of separation.

Zhang Nanfeng had no time to pay attention; he stepped forward, bent down, and began to tear at the rabbit's belly flesh with all his might.

He was starving; at that moment, he would have wanted to bite into even a piece of pig iron, let alone a wild rabbit.

Upon seeing this, a deep sense of disgust flashed across the mother wolf's eyes.

It had always disliked this strange white cub. Now, seeing this freak dare to overstep its bounds and steal food, its accumulated disgust instantly turned into fury.

The mother wolf growled and strode forward, her sharp jaws snapping shut as she seized Zhang Nanfeng by the scruff of his neck.

As Zhang Nanfeng was tearing the rabbit meat, he felt a tightness on the back of his neck and knew that the mother wolf was about to use the same trick again.

Although he can now subdue his fellow wolf cubs, he is ultimately powerless against adult female wolves.

He refused to let go. His teeth gripped a piece of tender rabbit belly meat tightly, letting the mother wolf carry him off the ground.

Enraged, the mother wolf swung her head violently.

Zhang Nanfeng was swung into the air, feeling dizzy and his neck was in excruciating pain.

Using the force of the swing, he pulled hard and tore a large chunk of flesh from the rabbit's body.

Exhausted, the mother wolf loosened her grip and slammed him, flesh and all, against the rocky wall at the corner of the cave.

But just as Zhang Nanfeng was about to hit the cave wall, he twisted his waist and spun around, lightly touching the stone wall with his four feet, nimbly dissipating his strength, and landed steadily.

Ignoring the burning pain in the back of his neck, he lay down on the spot and swallowed the hard-won blood food.

As the flesh and blood entered his throat and stomach, a warm current rose from his stomach and flowed slowly along his still-developing meridians.

Zhang Nanfeng pondered for a moment, then guided the warm current, splitting it into three streams that rushed towards his tailbone, poison glands, and eyes, respectively.

Wherever the warm current reached, the three seals trembled simultaneously for a moment, a tangible sensation.

When the warm current subsided, Zhang Nanfeng looked up.

The wild rabbits on the ground had already been devoured by the mother wolf and her three cubs, leaving only broken bones and skin scattered everywhere.

He licked the remaining blood from between his teeth, which slightly relieved his hunger, but it only intensified his craving for flesh and blood.

This is because the method for unsealing supernatural powers in this life is completely different from that in the previous life—

All you need to do is keep eating flesh and blood.

He had tried breathing in the miasma, but apart from the frozen ground and snow, there wasn't a trace of miasma to be found in this area.

In this way, flesh and blood became his only way out.

But the mother wolf wouldn't let him eat more.

After the three wolf cubs finished eating the leftovers, their bellies were round, so they huddled together again and fell into a deep sleep.

The mother wolf lay down in front of her cubs, protecting her three gray-brown offspring under her belly. Her head was slightly raised, and her pair of dark green eyes never left Zhang Nanfeng.

There was no tenderness in its eyes as it looked at its offspring, only wariness and estrangement, as if it were staring at a natural enemy.

Zhang Nanfeng watched this scene in silence, a faint sense of helplessness rising in his heart.

He slowly moved to the deepest part of the cave, curled up, and placed his paws under his abdomen.

That's it.

To confront the she-wolf now would be tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock. What he should do now is to endure, just as he did in the alchemy chamber in his previous life.

No need to wait long, just one month.

There's no need to wait for supernatural powers to be unlocked; all that's needed is for muscles and bones to grow long and claws and teeth to become sharp.

At that time, this white wolf's body will no longer be tossed around by wolves.

Zhang Nanfeng closed his eyes, swallowing back all the low murmurs that were about to rise.

The wind and snow outside the cave continued, but he no longer felt the biting cold.
