Arctic Reindeer

Arctic Reindeer.

Wolf Mom ate half of the Arctic Hare. Even an Arctic Hare pup weighed four or five pounds.

This caused her stomach, which had gone days without nourishment, to finally feel a little better.

Although Wolf Mom dearly wanted to eat the remaining half of the Arctic Hare as well, she still restrained herself.

In a corner where none of the other wolves could see, she secretly saved it for Su Lin and Wolf Sister.

"Aw."

Wolf Mom let out a low howl, quietly informing Wolf Sister and Su Lin.

"We're really full."

Su Lin, who had been watching from the side, looked at the half Arctic Hare Wolf Mom had saved and could not help sighing from the bottom of his heart.

He had not expected Wolf Mom to leave some unfinished.

Nor had he expected the maternal love and family bonds among animals to move him just as deeply.

In his previous life, he had never lacked food or clothing, but he had not felt much familial affection.

After all, his parents had always been busy developing the company and rarely cared about him.

In this life, although he had been reborn as an Arctic Wolf, after spending this month with the pack, he had truly felt Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom's concern for him.

Especially just now, when Wolf Mom and Wolf Dad had thought something had happened to the pups in the cave and looked as though they had gone mad. It had deeply affected Su Lin.

"Ah!"

Thinking of this, Su Lin raised his head again and looked at Wolf Mom, who stubbornly left the only bit of food for him. He let out a sigh.

But he also knew that he had to work hard to evolve.

First, he had to make sure he could survive safely, so Wolf Mom and Wolf Dad would no longer have to exhaust themselves over a little food.

He wanted to become the true ruler of the entire Arctic, the Arctic Wolf King at the very top of the Arctic food chain.

With beautiful hopes for the future in his heart, Su Lin lay down beside Wolf Mom, preparing to sleep and recover his strength so he could go out hunting again tomorrow.

The next day.

Su Lin had just awakened from his sleep and opened his eyes when he discovered that Wolf Mom and Wolf Dad were already gone from the cave. The other adult Arctic Wolves in the pack were gone as well.

It was clear they had gone out early again to search for food.

He stretched lazily, then climbed to his feet despite still feeling sleepy.

After getting up, he saw that Wolf Sister, Cousin Sister, and Little Lone Wolf were all still sleeping soundly.

The reputation of mammal cubs for loving sleep was well deserved.

Su Lin walked out of the cave and looked over the snow-covered Arctic outside.

It was probably around ten in the morning, yet the sky over the Arctic Continent showed only the faintest trace of light.

Winter and darkness here were longer than anywhere else. At certain times, there would even be a Polar Night.

"Awoo!"

Su Lin let out a long howl toward the vast, empty Arctic.

He knew he would have to survive in this place for a long time to come.

After howling, Su Lin felt his stomach grow a little hungry again.

He had now completely adapted to being an Arctic Wolf, as well as to the life of eating raw flesh and drinking blood.

Perhaps because an Arctic Wolf's taste buds differed from a human's, he found raw meat rather tasty.

Should I go hunt some more Arctic Hares?

But the Evolution Points I get from Arctic Hares are already negligible. There isn't much motivation.

After thinking for a while, Su Lin decided to go out and look around first.

If he found no other prey, he could only go hunt a few more Arctic Hares.

He walked step by step through the Arctic snow.

A wolf's sense of smell was extremely keen.

Before long, after walking only a short distance, he caught the scent of blood in the air.

Hmm? Something's going on!

He immediately became fully alert.

He crouched low in the snow and slowly moved in the direction the bloody scent was coming from.

He was not moving quickly, but he was very cautious.

After all, he was still very weak.

It was better to be safe than sorry. Being cautious was never wrong.

After moving slowly for roughly ten minutes, he finally reached the source of the bloody scent.

The smell of blood was extremely strong.

It looked like a fight had taken place not long ago.

If too much time had passed, such a strong bloody scent would have attracted plenty of carnivores already.

Su Lin stopped, hid behind a thick patch of brush, and looked into the distance.

Very quickly, he saw the source of the bloody smell clearly.

It was an Arctic Reindeer Carcass!

Species: Arctic Reindeer (Male, deceased).

Level: 7.

Vitality: 1050.

Stamina: 75.

Strength: 53.

Defense: 39.

Speed: 60.

This Arctic Reindeer was Level 7, even higher than Wolf Dad.

Under normal circumstances, it would have been a target the entire pack had to mobilize to hunt.

Yet now, this male Arctic Reindeer, which had reached Level 7, had simply been killed outright.

There were barely any bite marks on the Arctic Reindeer Carcass.

Only bright red blood flowed from its neck and limbs.

The blood had not completely coagulated yet. It looked as though it had died only a few minutes ago.

Hmm? What animal could kill a male Arctic Reindeer like this so easily? Could it be a Polar Bear?

Hidden behind the brush, Su Lin guessed to himself.

In the Arctic, the only creature capable of killing an Arctic Reindeer this easily was the undisputed overlord, the Polar Bear.

But what puzzled Su Lin was that there were no traces of a bear having been here.

Besides, if a Polar Bear had killed it, it would not have left the carcass lying here.

Su Lin was somewhat confused.

After repeatedly confirming that the surrounding area was completely safe, he stepped forward and cautiously approached the Arctic Reindeer Carcass.

The carcass was huge, weighing a full two or three hundred pounds.

Even the Entire wolf pack would not be able to finish it in one meal.

Hmm?

Upon close inspection, he soon discovered something strange about the Reindeer Carcass.

Its antlers and penis were gone, as though someone had directly cut them off with a knife.

The wounds were extremely neat. They could never have been caused by an animal's bite.

Could it have been hunted by humans?

Su Lin was startled.

Before antlers fully hardened into bone, they were called velvet antlers.

Velvet antlers were Not Only found on sika deer and red deer. Arctic Reindeer had them too.

They were precious medicinal ingredients, and many people would pay a high price for them.

As for the penis, it was also excellent for soaking in liquor.

He looked again at the fatal wound on the Reindeer's neck and found that it was indeed a deeply sunken bloody hole.

From his human perspective, such a wound had definitely been caused by a firearm.

This Reindeer had died at the hands of humans.

That was why only its most valuable velvet antlers and penis were missing.

"Hiss!"

Seeing this, Su Lin drew in a sharp breath.

It seemed the Arctic was not as safe as he had imagined.

Not Only did he have to constantly face the risk of food shortages, he also had to face these poachers! A sense of danger instantly rose in his heart.

He had to speed up his evolution.

Su Lin did not hesitate any longer and lowered his head to eat the Arctic Reindeer Carcass.

The Reindeer had not been dead for long, and its body had not completely stiffened.

He tore off a piece of meat from its chest, where there was less fat and the flesh was tender.

Ding! Host consumed Arctic Reindeer and gained 3 Evolution Points.

After one bite, Su Lin's eyes lit up.

3 Evolution Points! As expected of Arctic Reindeer meat.
