The Arctic was a land of bitter cold.
Winter's arrival had plunged the world into silence, making the already snow-covered Arctic even more lifeless. The animals that had once been scarce were now nowhere to be seen.
In a cave somewhere in the Arctic, a tiny Arctic wolf pup was sleeping in the arms of a sturdy she-wolf.
Su Lin turned over, feeling warm all over. This really was a good place to sleep.
Awooo! A howl rang out.
Half-asleep, Su Lin tried to move his arm and rub his eyes.
But he suddenly jolted fully awake! Wait, where were his arms? And what was wrong with his voice?
Su Lin discovered in horror that he no longer had arms or hands, and his voice had become a wolf howl!
"Am I dreaming?"
That was what Su Lin thought.
But when he twisted his body to look, he discovered in horror that he had truly turned into a little wolf.
A little Arctic wolf with snow-white fur, only about thirty centimeters long.
"What the hell is going on?"
Su Lin felt as if his mind were buzzing blankly.
After calming down, he quickly recalled what had happened before he fell asleep.
Su Lin was the son of a wealthy family, and he loved exploring.
As for his parents, they were busy developing the company and had never cared much about him.
For more than twenty years, he had faced life's hardships alone.
Yesterday, he had gone exploring in a mysterious cave.
Inside that cave, he had discovered a crystal coffin carved with intricate writing and images!
A crystal coffin—it should be known that even in today's technologically advanced society, let alone ancient times, crafting such a coffin would require an unimaginable expense.
So Su Lin had curiously studied it up close for a long time.
Because he had extensive exploration experience and had majored in archaeology in college, he vaguely understood some of the writing on the coffin.
But the meanings were all disjointed and incoherent.
Things like "Ice Age," "Great Changes in the World," "Species Evolution," and "Gods and Demons Revival."
Perhaps studying the writing on the coffin had consumed too much of Su Lin's mental energy. When he was preparing to leave, he suddenly felt the world spin inside his head, then fainted and collapsed to the ground.
But he had never expected that after falling asleep, he would actually be reborn! And reborn as a wolf!
He raised his snow-white wolf claw and viciously gave himself One Claw.
Smack!
It hurt.
The realistic pain made Su Lin pull a miserable face.
"Did I really turn into a wolf, a little Arctic wolf? Heavens, don't toy with me like this. My life hasn't even begun yet!"
But no matter how long Su Lin shouted in his heart, there was still no change.
He really had turned into a wolf, a little Arctic wolf.
Fortunately, Su Lin had lived independently since childhood and was highly adaptable. Before long, he had adjusted to his new identity.
But just as he had adjusted to his identity, suddenly—
Before him appeared a light gray wall that only he could see.
Name: Su Lin. Species: Arctic Wolf. Level: Level 0 (Requires 10 Evolution Points to level up). Vitality: 10. Stamina: 1. Strength: 1. Defense: 1. Speed: 1. Evolution Points: 0. Devouring Evolution activated successfully. Host received activation reward: ten Potential Potions (can be used to develop his own potential).
"What is this?"
Looking at the light gray wall that had suddenly appeared before him, Su Lin was first stunned, then a glimmer of joy flashed through his eyes.
At least things were not too miserable. Though he had turned into a little Arctic wolf, he had gained a cheat.
Whether or not he could evolve into a human, at the very least, as long as he worked hard, surviving in this icy Arctic should not be a problem.
"Devouring Evolution... that means I can devour other things in the future to grow. As for vitality..."
Su Lin began analyzing the various values on the status panel.
Vitality on the attribute panel was equivalent to health points.
If vitality dropped to zero, it would probably mean the end of life.
Stamina was equivalent to physical endurance.
Strength determined a creature's attack power and destructive force.
Speed naturally referred to running speed and reaction speed.
These things were generally easy to understand.
As for the Potential Potion, it also had a detailed note. It was a good thing that could develop the potential of one's body after being consumed.
As Su Lin analyzed these things, he finally emerged from the depression of being reborn as a wolf.
After snapping out of it, he slightly raised his snow-white, adorable little wolf head and looked at Wolf Mom beside him, who had one paw wrapped around him.
Immediately, Wolf Mom's status panel also appeared before him.
Species: Arctic Wolf (Female). Level: Level 4. Vitality: 432. Stamina: 42. Strength: 39. Defense: 37. Speed: 35.
It had to be said that Wolf Mom's attributes were far stronger than his current ones.
This seemed to be the average level of a female Arctic wolf.
Su Lin struggled to break free from Wolf Mom's paw, then shakily crawled onto her belly and looked toward the rest of the cave.
He discovered several other Arctic wolves lying around, sleeping to conserve their energy.
It seemed wolves truly were pack animals.
Lying closest to Wolf Mom was Wolf Dad.
After glancing at every wolf, Su Lin discovered that Wolf Dad had the highest attributes in the cave.
Combined with the fact that Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom occupied the most central spot in the cave, where sunlight could reach them, Wolf Dad was probably still the leader of the pack.
Species: Arctic Wolf (Male). Level: Level 6. Vitality: 589. Stamina: 68. Strength: 59. Defense: 57. Speed: 60.
These were Wolf Dad's attributes.
Such attributes surpassed Wolf Mom's by quite a bit. Even among male Arctic wolves, he could be considered outstanding.
"Awoo."
Just as Su Lin was about to use his tender little paws to crawl outside the cave and see the world beyond, Wolf Mom woke up.
She looked at the little cub crawling messily over her body, let out a dissatisfied low growl, then used her paw to sweep Su Lin straight back into her embrace.
Only then did Su Lin notice that there was another little female Arctic wolf in the embrace. She looked even smaller than him and was probably Wolf Sister.
Wolf Sister was currently drinking from the teat in front of her with great relish.
Seeing how happily Wolf Sister was eating, Su Lin also felt hunger quickly wash over him.
Although he resisted it in his heart, he could not suppress his body's instinctive craving.
He moved closer and began eating just like Wolf Sister.
Ding! Consumed Arctic wolf milk. Evolution Points +0.1!
The system notification by his ear, along with the sweet flavor on his tongue, made Su Lin's little wolf eyes light up.
