The Blizzard Arrives.

After Wolf Sister and Cousin Sister had eaten their fill, Su Lin let Little Lone Wolf and the other little wolf eat.

Little Lone Wolf had been starving for ages. The moment it reached the Reindeer Carcass, it began tearing into it in huge bites.

Though it was also still a wolf pup, it ate quite quickly.

Su Lin did not pay attention to it.

He found the spot behind the rock where he had stayed before, lay down, and went to sleep.

There was plenty of food in the cave now. Even if Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom returned, they would be able to have a hearty meal.

After his desperate battle with the Lynx, Su Lin was somewhat tired as well.

Once Wolf Sister had eaten her fill, she returned to Su Lin's side.

Her little body wriggled closer, pressing tightly against him as she fell asleep.

In the Arctic, daytime was very short.

In the blink of an eye, night had arrived.

After waking up, Su Lin stretched and discovered that Wolf Dad, Wolf Mom, and the others Had Not Yet returned.

As for the Reindeer Carcass, after Little Lone Wolf and the others finished eating, they had conscientiously moved it deeper into the cave.

This was to keep other Hunters from following the scent of blood to the cave.

Seeing that Little Lone Wolf, who usually only recklessly demanded food and drink, could do something like this, Su Lin silently gave it a decent score.

He got up and walked toward the cave entrance.

The moment he reached the entrance, a blast of freezing wind hit him head-on.

For Su Lin, who had transformed into a wolf and was covered in thick fur, to still feel cold, it was clear just how low the temperature on the Arctic Continent was.

He looked into the distance.

He found that the cold wind was growing stronger and stronger, even sweeping up the ice and snow on the ground that never melted year-round.

Could a blizzard be coming?

Su Lin's heart sank.

Wolf Dad, Wolf Mom, and the others not returning might be related to this as well.

After all, the wolf pack consisted of eight adult Arctic Wolves, all of whom had gone out together.

On the Arctic Continent, as long as they did not actively provoke overlords such as Polar Bears and Grizzly Bears, there were hardly any Hunters that could threaten them.

A Lynx like the one that had fought Su Lin so viciously would not even dare to make a move against a true Arctic Wolf Pack.

It would not even dare provoke them.

It could only tuck its tail and flee in disgrace.

"Wolf Dad and the others probably noticed the blizzard and found somewhere to hide."

Su Lin did not think in the worst possible direction.

Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom were experienced Hunters. They would not do anything too dangerous.

Seeing the snowstorm outside intensifying, Su Lin was not too worried.

Because they had gained quite a lot today.

This Arctic Reindeer carcass weighed nearly two hundred pounds, enough to last them several days.

Su Lin patrolled around the cave. After confirming that there was no danger, he did not linger and quickly returned.

The weather outside was freezing, and it drained stamina too quickly.

When he returned, he found Wolf Sister still asleep in the cave.

Little Lone Wolf and Gray-White Fur Little Wolf were also sleeping soundly in a corner.

Little Lone Wolf rested its wolf head on Gray-White Fur Little Wolf's body, making itself very comfortable.

It sure knows how to enjoy itself.

Seeing this, Su Lin could not help laughing inwardly.

At the moment, only Cousin Sister was awake, standing guard over the cave.

It was clear that, as the former big sister among the pups, Cousin Sister had put in no small amount of effort.

Su Lin let out a low howl, signaling that he would take over the watch.

"Aw."

Cousin Sister briefly communicated with Su Lin through howls. After telling him a few things to watch out for, she went back to sleep.

Cousin Sister no longer viewed Su Lin as the little wolf brother he used to be.

Instead, she had begun to see him as an alpha wolf like Wolf Dad.

After all, Su Lin had already started hunting and feeding the rest of them.

The rules of nature were often simple and unadorned.

Since he went out hunting and brought them food, Su Lin was their leader.

In Cousin Sister's mind, wolves had always respected the strong.

By now, Su Lin had become the undisputed leader among the wolf pups.

The night passed quietly.

Since he had already slept yesterday afternoon, Su Lin did not feel sleepy that night.

While standing guard, he noticed that the blizzard outside the cave was growing increasingly fierce.

Many animals living in the Arctic began searching for places to shelter from this sudden blizzard.

Perhaps because the storm was too strong, or perhaps because it had gotten lost, an Arctic Tern actually flew to the wolf pack's cave entrance.

It even tried to fly into the cave to escape the storm.

Su Lin, who was on guard, immediately tensed.

Then, relying on his incredible speed, he leaped into the air, tracing a beautiful white streak through the sky.

With One Claw, he swatted the Arctic Tern down.

The Arctic Tern was very beautiful, with a black head, white back, and red-tipped beak.

It was said that Arctic Terns had once set a world record.

They were the only animals in the world with the longest migration distance.

These birds traveled around 40,000 kilometers every year, flying all the way from the Arctic to Antarctica.

Arctic Terns had even been listed among the world's oldest surviving bird species.

If Su Lin had still been human, he would definitely have studied such a bird carefully upon encountering one.

After all, as an archaeology student, he was naturally very interested in one of the oldest living bird species.

But now, after Su Lin swatted down the Arctic Tern with one claw, he barely looked at it. He simply plucked off its feathers and swallowed it.

He was a wolf now.

He had no sentimentality about promoting the spirit of protecting birds.

"Ding! The host consumed an Arctic Tern and gained 1.5 Evolution Points." "Ding! The host consumed an Arctic Tern and gained 1.3 Evolution Points."

A weak Arctic Tern had provided Su Lin with less than three Evolution Points.

It was an unexpected bonus from staying up on watch.

After Su Lin yawned, dawn began to break.

Cousin Sister, Wolf Sister, Little Lone Wolf, and Gray-White Little Wolf all woke up as well.

They began fooling around out of boredom.

Of course, after Su Lin's lesson, Little Lone Wolf no longer dared bully Wolf Sister.

It could only wrestle with Gray-White Little Wolf.

Poor Gray-White Little Wolf was Little Lone Wolf's wolf-flesh pillow at night and had to serve as a wolf-shaped punching bag during the day.

Wolf Sister played with Cousin Sister as well.

Every now and then, she came over to Su Lin and played for a while with her Wolf Brother, whose size had clearly surpassed hers by far.

But Su Lin merely lay lazily on the rock, too idle even to move his eyelids. He practically ignored Wolf Sister's attempts to play.

After all, as a human, he truly could not get interested in the childish, laughable games between wolf pups.

Before long, Su Lin became somewhat hungry.

He began calling the wolf pups over for a meal.

He still did not eat the Arctic Reindeer carcass, even though Arctic Reindeer meat tasted better.

But eating the Lynx could still provide him with quite a few Evolution Points.

"Ding! The host consumed a Lynx and gained 2 Evolution Points." "Ding! The host consumed a Lynx and gained 1.8 Evolution Points." "Ding! The host consumed a Lynx and gained 1.6 Evolution Points."
