Little Gray Hunts

There were five Potential Potions remaining.

Su Lin planned to use the remaining Potential Potions on Little Gray, Wolf Sister, and Cousin Sister.

Inside the cave,

Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom were both sleeping soundly, recovering their strength.

The musk ox carcass, which had originally weighed four or five hundred jin, had been almost entirely eaten over the past few days.

Su Lin got up and walked over to Little Gray, who was also fast asleep.

Little Gray was sleeping soundly with the Gray-White Little Wolf as a pillow.

Gray-White Little Wolf's Mother did not hold it against Little Gray either, merely sleeping beside them.

With a thought, Su Lin injected a Potential Potion into Little Gray's body.

Little Gray had been sleeping so sweetly that drool had leaked from its mouth, but it seemed to sense something.

Its four little wolf claws vaguely pawed at the air, while it whimpered in its sleep.

Smack! Su Lin extended a wolf claw and slapped Little Gray across the face.

"Awoo! Awoo!"

Little Gray was instantly slapped awake.

It opened its bleary eyes and saw that its boss was standing before it.

Not knowing what had happened, it immediately let out aggrieved howls.

But Su Lin said nothing and walked over to Wolf Sister.

Likewise, he injected Wolf Sister with a Potential Potion. However, she was clearly sleeping sweetly in Wolf Mom's embrace and did not notice a thing.

Even in her dreams, she stretched out her little wolf muzzle and burrowed into Wolf Mom's arms, as though she had dreamed of nursing when she had first been born.

Next was Cousin Sister.

Cousin Sister noticed nothing as well, merely lying quietly in the cave asleep.

This showed that, as a mutant, Little Gray's senses were still very sharp.

"Awoo!"

Su Lin gave Little Gray a low howl, signaling it to stop making noise.

Little Gray could only close its mouth aggrievedly. Though it often did not understand its boss's actions, it was still very obedient.

It had originally intended to lie down and continue sleeping.

But seeing the Gray-White Little Wolf sleeping so sweetly beside it, while it had been woken by a claw from its boss,

it felt quite indignant.

Hmph! How can a little pillow sleep so sweetly?

Little Gray also slapped the Gray-White Little Wolf's head with a claw.

Little Gray was already Level 3, and its body was about the same size as an ordinary Level 4 Arctic Wolf's.

That claw strike left the mere Level 1 Gray-White Little Wolf utterly dazed.

It could not even howl.

Looking at the Gray-White Little Wolf, which had been woken by its claw and took a long while to regain some awareness, Little Gray finally felt a little more balanced inside.

It continued sleeping with the Gray-White Little Wolf as a pillow.

Meanwhile, the Gray-White Little Wolf was completely bewildered, having no idea what had happened.

The next day, Little Gray, Cousin Sister, and Wolf Sister were clearly sleeping longer.

After waking up,

at Su Lin's signal, Wolf Sister and Cousin Sister ate the remaining musk ox meat.

Little Gray's fur became somewhat shinier, while its limbs, already as thick and sturdy as those of a feline, grew even more robust.

Wolf Sister and Cousin Sister did not change much, aside from their food intake increasing considerably.

"Awoo!"

Su Lin gave a low howl.

Little Gray immediately trotted after him eagerly.

He led Little Gray out of the cave to hunt.

Generally speaking, a Potential Potion lasted for three days.

Little Gray was a mutant with great bodily potential, so changes had appeared on the first day.

Wolf Sister and Cousin Sister would likely only show their stimulated potential after three days.

During this period, more exercise and more food would help develop more of their innate potential.

Therefore, Su Lin did not put in much effort during this hunt.

He had Little Gray serve as the main force throughout.

Since advancing to Level 3, Little Gray had gradually begun to display the strength of a mutant.

Compared to ordinary Arctic Wolves, it was stronger in endurance, speed, strength, and resistance to blows.

Even its learning ability and intelligence were far superior.

Little Gray had followed Su Lin out several times. Through observation and learning, it had already mastered some Hunting Skills.

The two wolves searched for food very quickly.

Soon, in an icy, snow-covered area not far from the cave, they found a nest of Lemmings.

Lemmings were an extremely common animal on the Arctic Continent.

They had oval bodies and short limbs, roughly the size of ordinary rats.

The largest in this nest of Lemmings was only around seventeen or eighteen centimeters long.

Their tails were thick and short, their ears tiny, and their eyes gleamed with liveliness. Each provided little meat.

But the polar night was approaching, and food was scarce.

Finding a nest of several dozen Lemmings meant that hunting them would provide a decent amount of rations.

After receiving Su Lin's approval, Little Gray concealed its body in the brush and approached the nest of Lemmings.

Su Lin also casually glanced at the strongest Lemming's stats.

Species: Lemming (Male) Level: 1.

Vitality: 125.

Endurance: 12.

Strength: 11.

Defense: 9.

Speed: 16.

It was the strongest in the nest of Lemmings.

But it was only Level 1.

Many of the Lemmings were only Level 0.

Lemmings were mammals as well, but they possessed extremely strong reproductive abilities.

Thus, when food was scarce, many Hunters would include Lemmings in their diets.

Even Polar Bears, the strongest overlords of the Arctic Continent, hunted Lemmings.

Lemmings were very weak.

As long as Hunters found them, they would certainly be able to kill a few.

Now that Little Gray had approached them, a bloody slaughter began.

Little Gray's current speed was close to 40, far exceeding that of the Lemmings.

It pounced forward at high speed.

As it leaped, its forelimbs revealed sharp wolf claws. It targeted the largest Lemming first, striking it with a claw and killing it on the spot.

Next, its wolf claws became like a death scythe harvesting Lemmings.

It struck and pounced at great speed. In just half a minute, seven or eight Lemmings had died beneath Little Gray's claws.

It had also eaten two of them.

The remaining forty or fifty Lemmings began scattering in every direction.

Animals as numerous as Lemmings relied on their numbers to ensure their species' survival.

Little Gray began using its speed to chase down the scattered, fleeing Lemmings.

The intense pursuit lasted a full ten minutes.

The farthest Little Gray chased them was over three kilometers away.

In the end, Little Gray returned with blood still at the corner of its mouth, carrying two or three Lemmings in its jaws.

"Awoo!"

Little Gray howled excitedly at Su Lin.

This was its first hunt, and it had caught food.

Even though they were only Lemmings, it was very happy.

While howling, it also invited its boss to eat.

In Little Gray's eyes, whether or not the food had been hunted by its boss, its boss always had the right to eat first.

Of course, the Lemmings it had eaten during the hunt did not count.

Su Lin walked over and looked at the dozen or so Lemming corpses scattered across the messy snow and ice. He also patted Little Gray's head with his claw.

This time, he did not use force. It was a caress.

Little Gray's intelligence, far beyond that of ordinary wolves, made it even happier at its boss's touch.

"Awoo! Awoo!"

It howled excitedly.

Su Lin swallowed several Lemmings and gained some Evolution Points.

"Ding! The host consumed a Lemming and gained 1.2 Evolution Points."

"Ding! The host consumed a Lemming and gained 1 Evolution Point."

"Ding! The host consumed a Lemming and gained 0.8 Evolution Points."

After several Lemmings went down his throat, his Evolution Points quickly decreased to 0.1.
