Su Lin turned and left, taking Little Gray with him to search for other Grizzly Bears.
Of course, they also searched for prey along the way.
Unfortunately,
aside from the ice sheet, which still showed some signs of life, there were hardly any traces of living creatures here.
However, Little Gray still caught several Lemmings from a snow burrow.
After seeing his boss's signal,
he ate the Lemmings himself. His boss was clearly uninterested in such tiny Lemmings.
Within a few minutes, Little Gray had swallowed all the Lemmings into his stomach.
As they continued onward,
Su Lin came across a lone wolf that had been separated from its pack.
In nature, lone wolves were generally not as fierce as people imagined.
And their fates were usually miserable.
Without exceptional strength, it was difficult for them to survive.
This lone wolf appeared to be about the same size as Cousin Sister.
It should have been a young wolf around two years old.
It was clearly starved to the point of skin and bones. Its fur seemed plastered against its body, lacking even a trace of softness or shine.
But even though it looked so weak, when it saw Su Lin and Little Gray passing by,
it still revealed a vicious gaze and assumed a defensive stance, letting out low growls.
This young wolf had already deeply understood
that survival in the cruel wilderness could not be gained through groveling.
To survive, it had to bare its fangs.
Only by showing its opponents its strength would they retreat.
Even though Su Lin and Little Gray were its kind, it did not lower its guard in the slightest.
But clearly, Su Lin and Little Gray had no interest in it.
The two pairs of glowing green eyes merely glanced at it before leaving.
This caused the emaciated young wolf to let out a sigh of relief.
Then,
it slowly lay down and licked the savage wound on its abdomen.
The wound was deep, just short of disemboweling it.
Fortunately, it had not.
It could still cling to life.
This wound had not been inflicted by another hunter, but by its Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom.
Under the polar night, Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom had been unable to find food.
In their extreme hunger, driven by beastly instinct, they had turned their glowing green eyes toward their own child.
But it did not want to be eaten.
It wanted to live too.
In the end, enduring Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom's bites, it rushed out of the den, left the pack, and became a lone wolf amid the frozen snowfields.
But under the polar night, food was far too scarce.
After going half a month without food or water, it felt terribly weak.
Skin and bones, it lay within a patch of brush, licking its wounds as it rested.
It hoped to regain some strength so it could hold on until it found prey.
However,
this emaciated young wolf did not know
that danger was quietly approaching.
A lynx that was also little more than skin and bones
was creeping through the brush, inching closer to it.
Although this lynx was also very weak, it had no injuries.
Its condition was clearly far better than that of the young wolf.
As the two drew closer and closer, a vicious gleam flashed through the lynx's eyes as it looked at the young wolf.
Meanwhile, Su Lin and Little Gray, who had already left, naturally did not know what was happening behind them.
Even if he had known, Su Lin had long since grown accustomed to the killing between Hunters.
Right now, he was searching for prey and the locations of the Grizzly Bears.
Very soon,
he found the exact locations of two more Grizzly Bears.
Both Grizzly Bears were male and extraordinarily powerful.
Their massive bodies were somewhat cumbersome,
yet they exuded the unique, domineering aura of bears.
One of the Grizzly Bears was lying near its den, searching for moss and insects to eat.
This grizzly bear
was the one Su Lin and Little Gray had encountered by chance when they came out to hunt.
It was also the first grizzly bear they had encountered in the Arctic.
This grizzly bear was clearly gentler in temperament. It consumed roots, moss, carrion, and insects to replenish its energy and nutrients.
As for the other grizzly bear, Su Lin observed it from afar for a long time.
This grizzly bear was even stronger, possessing the strength of level 12.
Its massive bear body bore numerous bite wounds and claw marks.
But thanks to the grizzly bear's powerful defenses, these wounds and claw marks merely looked frightening. They had not even completely torn through the grizzly bear's thick hide and flesh.
What was more, beneath that thick flesh lay a layer of fat.
Therefore, such injuries were no more than a scratch to it.
This grizzly bear was currently gnawing on a lynx it had hunted from somewhere.
Besides that,
near the grizzly bear's den lay the skeleton of an Arctic Wolf that had been eaten down to nothing but fur.
Seeing this,
Su Lin roughly guessed that this grizzly bear
was the one the wolf pack had mentioned.
Clearly, the grizzly bear's location was very close to Wolf Dad and the others.
If the grizzly bear entered the wolf pack's territory, it would be no different from provoking them.
Under the food-scarce polar night amid the frozen snowfields, both sides sought to fill their stomachs. A fierce hunt and counter-hunt were certain to occur!
In the end, there was no doubt that this grizzly bear had gained the upper hand. Otherwise, given the wolf pack's nature, they would not have retreated willingly.
Su Lin's glowing green wolf eyes looked down at the grizzly bear for a long time.
He discovered that this grizzly bear was truly powerful!
It was also madly hunting the animals in this area to replenish its energy and fill its stomach.
Having endured countless battles, the grizzly bear was at its peak, whether in condition or in the rampant aura rising from its massive body.
Therefore,
Su Lin did not act rashly.
But
his reluctance to act did not mean the grizzly bear felt the same way! Suddenly,
the grizzly bear, with its exceptionally keen sense of smell, seemed to catch something in the air. It immediately raised its enormous head and looked toward Su Lin, who stood atop the Snow Slope.
Whether it was because of its brutal battle with the wolf pack some time ago, or for some other reason,
this grizzly bear clearly held deep hatred for Arctic Wolves.
Upon seeing Su Lin on the Snow Slope, the grizzly bear let out a furious roar. "Roar!"
The muffled bear roar echoed across the Arctic skies above the frozen snowfields! It even tossed aside the lynx carcass it had only half eaten.
With blazing hatred burning in its bear eyes, it charged toward Su Lin on the Snow Slope!
Seeing this, Su Lin was somewhat puzzled by the grizzly bear's hatred. Even if it had fought the wolf pack before, it should not have hated them this much.
After all, for Hunters living in nature, fighting had long since become commonplace.
But Su Lin did not retreat in the slightest. A ruthless glint also flashed through his green eyes! You refuse the road to heaven, yet insist on walking into hell! He had originally planned to let it live a few more days,
but since this grizzly bear insisted on testing him, then they would test each other! Su Lin possessed speed that looked down upon the entire Arctic.
He felt no fear whatsoever.
He merely gave a low howl, telling Little Gray to retreat farther away first.
