Chapter 2: Werewolf Or Bird Person?
Half an hour later, Su Ran had already climbed to two-thirds of the mountain body’s height.
But this climbing speed, which was already quite fast, did not make her happy.
She looked at the endless layers of sea of trees under her feet, and a surge of despair uncontrollably welled up in her heart.
The forest’s coverage area was more extensive than she had imagined, with the boundless end merging into one with the horizon.
Looking at the endless layers of sea of trees, the breath in Su Ran’s chest seemed to deflate by more than half all at once.
She panted for breath and plopped down on a stone, her gaze fixed on the distant “green sea” with a blank expression.
What should she do?
Should she keep going forward to the end of the sea of trees, or find a way to stage wilderness survival in this forest?
The unfamiliar ecological environment and living environment shared with beasts seemed to tell her in every situation that relying only on herself, the probability of surviving in this world was too small.
After feeling discouraged for a while, she took a sip of water, then took a deep breath and stood up.
She still had to keep climbing upward.
Now she could only pin her hopes on there being something different behind this mountain.
Although the possibility was very small.
Su Ran held the entrenching pickaxe in one hand and pulled at the weeds in the stone cracks with the other, trying to use them for leverage to climb onto a stone.
But the accident happened at this moment!
As soon as her front foot stepped on that stone, she suddenly noticed a huge black shadow passing over her head!
The black shadow flew over her head, bringing a gust of cool wind. Su Ran whipped her head around, and the next moment, she widened her eyes and froze in place!
What did she see?!
A naked man!
A naked man with bird wings!
A naked man with bird wings, canine ears, a fluffy big tail, and a very handsome face!!
Su Ran stared in shock at the unidentified creature before her, even briefly forgetting her fear.
Until the creature seemed to want to come closer and took a step forward, she suddenly snapped awake, panickedly raising the entrenching pickaxe in her hand, shouting “don’t come over” while swinging it fiercely at the creature!
The creature was startled by Su Ran’s action.
As soon as the entrenching pickaxe was raised, it quickly spread its wings and dodged the falling pick head, then in the time before Su Ran could react, it flashed behind her with lightning speed.
Su Ran only felt a weight on her waist, followed by her whole body lightening as she was lifted into the air.
At the same time, her right arm was pinched, causing her hand to loosen in pain, and the entrenching pickaxe was snatched from her grasp.
It’s over!
This was the first thought that popped into Su Ran’s mind!
With the weapon directly taken away, was she about to become this creature’s dinner right away too?
She was so afraid that her whole body went rigid, not even noticing the tens-of-thousands-feet high altitude under her feet.
By the time she came back to her senses, her feet were already on the ground, and she had been placed in a huge bird’s nest.
Have you ever seen a bird’s nest over two meters in diameter, as big as a small bedroom?
Su Ran was seeing one right now.
She still remembered that when she was just stuffed in, the height of this tree was at least twenty meters. And the bird’s nest was built on the forked branches at the top of this giant tree, at least ten meters from the ground.
She stood in the nest padded with feathers and grass fluff, not daring to move a muscle.
This suspended feeling of not touching solid ground, combined with the fragile, breakable impression of those bird’s nests she had seen in the countryside in her memories, made her feel that as soon as she moved, she would flip off the tree along with the nest!
And just as Su Ran was stiffening her body without having analyzed her current situation clearly, the creature that had brought her back suddenly made a move.
When it had brought Su Ran back to the bird’s nest, it hadn’t made a sound, just quietly watching Su Ran, as if waiting for her reaction.
After waiting a while and seeing no movement from Su Ran, it tilted its head with an expression very out of line with its seemingly cold and aloof demeanor, looking at Su Ran with eyes that seemed filled with doubt.
With its head-tilting motion, Su Ran saw a pair of gray-brown ears on top of its head twitch.
Dog?
Su Ran looked at this humanoid creature; in the dim light of the bird’s nest, its eyes glowed with a faint green light, and she immediately denied it.
No, more like a wolf.
Then she looked at the wings faintly visible behind this creature, and two terms came to mind:
Werewolf? Or birdman?
She then silently felt embarrassed; birdman or whatever didn’t seem to fit this beastman who had a super idol vibe.
Better to call it a werewolf.
And while she was sizing up the werewolf in front of her, the werewolf had already walked right up to her and slowly lowered its head toward her.
Su Ran watched the werewolf’s actions with wide eyes, her whole body rigid.
Was it going to eat her? Bring the prey back to the nest and then kill it?
She stood straight in place, guessing with some resignation.
She couldn’t be blamed for not even thinking of resisting; the weapon by her hand had been taken away, leaving her unable to defend herself.
The position she was in was high altitude dozens of meters up; even if she could run out, it would probably just be trading for another way to die.
What’s more, looking at the werewolf’s towering stature that was two heads taller than her—not to mention its lean and muscular build that completely crushed the “tech” muscles trained in some gyms—just those hands with sharp black nails were enough to make anyone instantly feel the overwhelming lethality emanating from the werewolf.
Rather than rashly angering the werewolf before her with reckless actions, it was better to act quiet and harmless, maybe leaving a slim chance of survival.
Didn’t they say that some animals tease and play with their prey for a while before killing and eating it?
And while Su Ran was analyzing her current situation like this, the werewolf’s nose tip had already come right up to her face.
Its nostrils quivered slightly as it continuously sniffed around Su Ran’s face and neck.
If this were the original world, with such an angular handsome face and a pair of super cartoonish fluffy ears coming up to her like this, Su Ran would definitely blush and scream with excitement, reaching out to grab those itch-inducing furry ears.
But at this moment, meeting the werewolf’s eyes with pupils constantly contracting and glowing with eerie green light, she couldn’t help but tremble all over.
She tried hard to control her trembling body but still instinctively wanted to lift her leg and run. And in the instant she stepped back, she saw the werewolf open its lips, revealing four sharp teeth in its mouth, then suddenly pounce forward!
Su Ran instinctively closed her eyes!
But the imagined events did not happen.
Instead, in the instant she closed her eyes, she felt her face suddenly being repeatedly and forcefully licked by something wet and warm.
Su Ran shockedly opened her eyes, and all she could see was the handsome face… nose tip and chin already pressed against her face, along with those four gleaming white sharp teeth.
The werewolf’s licking motions were very gentle, and between actions, it would occasionally let out soft “wu wu” or “ying ying” sounds from its throat.
Su Ran felt that she actually detected a meaning of comfort in them.
