The morning sun, like pebbles skipping across a calm lake, continuously leaped through the lush forest, creating countless ripples that spread into every gap.
When a ray of sunlight shone into a rock crevice,
Wang Wu woke up.
He hadn't slept well last night because he had turned into a bear cub, probably only a few months old.
When he first underwent Transmigration yesterday, he hadn't even had time to get acquainted with the mountain-sized Bear Mom beside him before he witnessed a light blue sword light sever her neck.
There was no time for grief, only fear. He fled in a panic into the depths of the tall grass, finally hiding in a rock crevice for a day and a night.
And now, he was terribly hungry; if this continued, he would starve to death.
So he had to go out for food.
In fact, Wang Wu had assessed his environment. He didn't know what that light blue sword light was, but this was definitely not a nature reserve; it might be an Immortal Realm where people could fly and burrow.
This was also the reason for his immense fear.
It seemed very peaceful outside. As the sun shone into the forest, unknown birds sang melodiously from the treetops, glistening dew rolled on flowers and plants, small flying insects darted through the veil-like sunlight, and large wild bees buzzed past.
In the grass, there were rustling sounds, and further away, there were suspected monkey calls. A new day had begun.
Wang Wu laboriously squeezed his body out of the narrow rock crevice. He didn't even know how he did it. 'Am I actually a cat? A cat bear? A panda?'
'Pah, certainly not.'
Using reference points and the shadow on the ground, Wang Wu estimated his size. He was only slightly larger than a Chihuahua, oh, that thing called a small Teddy.
But body size didn't matter; what mattered was having claws and teeth—very fierce.
This was very important; if he could only drink milk, he would be truly finished.
The bright sunlight shone on him, very warm. A hot current quickly flowed through his entire body. Wang Wu couldn't help but bask in it for a while longer. In just a moment, he found that as the sun shone, his fur began to show a golden halo, as if absorbing and capturing the sunlight.
And this hot current brought by the sunlight also increased inside his body, to the point that he couldn't even feel hunger anymore.
However, this situation only lasted for a few minutes. When the angle of the sunlight changed, even if Wang Wu continued to chase the sun, this effect was no longer present.
Just then, a few lines of information appeared before Wang Wu's eyes, along with a simple attribute panel, somewhat like a game he was playing before his transmigration…
"Due to your Bloodline Talent Level 1 Spiritual Essence, you successfully absorbed and converted 5 points of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi."
"Since you cannot maintain a stationary state for more than three seconds, your Bloodline Talent Level 1 Stealth automatically deactivates. To re-enter Stealth, please remain stationary for at least three seconds."
"Due to your Bloodline Talent Danger Perception being Level 1, the passive detection range is a 20-meter radius, and it is severely affected by terrain, unable to detect anything."
"Warning, you need to eat. Your satiety has dropped to 1 point, which will affect the normal activation of your Bloodline Talent Level 1 Self-healing."

"This is—so the hot current I got from basking in the sun just now was actually Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi?"
Wang Wu was very shocked. Starting with four Bloodline Talents, and such a direct and crude absorption of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, was it really that benevolent? But considering his body was an Ancient Giant Bear cub, well, ignoring the word 'cub', the prefix 'Ancient' alone explained the problem.
However, this was an Immortal Realm. Thinking of that light blue sword light, Wang Wu's budding ambition was extinguished. Sense of security -100!
What if he was a Great Demon? Didn't she still end up dying by the sword?
Therefore, to be cautious and timid is to live long.
"Gugugu!"
His stomach rumbled.
Wang Wu hesitated for a moment, wondering if he could temporarily relieve his hunger with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Unexpectedly, it actually worked; a warm current instantly flowed through his entire body, and he no longer felt hungry, but that damned satiety level hadn't changed at all.
"You consumed one point of Spiritual Qi. Your body will remain in its Peak state for the next twelve hours."
"It looks pretty good, but it's too extravagant."
Wang Wu thought, there was nothing he could do. With his small body, food wasn't something he could just find. If he didn't keep his body in peak condition, how would he find food?
Well, actually, he couldn't find much food. For now, he could only eat grass, including some small insects.
Wang Wu was very cautious not to stray too far from the rock crevice, ready to flee back at the slightest disturbance.
Although this cliff was located in the forest, there weren't many trees nearby; instead, they were sparse. Therefore, under ample sunlight, the wild grass grew extremely lush.
Wang Wu quickly tried several kinds of wild grass. Based on his experience from his previous life, he settled on a type of wild grass that grew close to the ground, with a small plant but substantial roots and stems. This stuff was very crunchy and juicy when eaten, like eating a radish, but the taste was not commendable. After eating only a few, it was so bitter that he couldn't find his tongue.
However, this stuff did increase satiety, just not by much.
But finally, Wang Wu really found something good. He discovered a white mushroom in the grass, pure white with dark golden spots, possibly a straw mushroom.
Hesitating for a second, he decisively ate it. It turned out to be unexpectedly delicious, increasing his satiety by 5 points.
Lastly, he also found some lichen-like moss, which was definitely edible. Wang Wu collected a large pile, eating it along with soil and grass leaves, barely increasing his satiety by 5 points.
In short, after a busy period, it was almost noon, and Wang Wu had only increased his satiety by 25 points, which wasn't even half full. And he was on edge the whole time, fleeing back to the rock crevice at the slightest disturbance.
Fortunately, so far, he hadn't encountered any danger. The huge tree canopy blocked most of the sky, the rocks provided him with a hiding place, and the wild grass ensured he wouldn't starve to death for now.
He was quite satisfied with this starting safe point.
