Return of the Wolf Pack

Return of the Wolf Pack.

This lynx weighed a full fifty-odd pounds.

Su Lin could not finish it in one sitting. After eating around seven or eight pounds, he could eat no more.

Devouring the lynx meat gave him nearly twenty Evolution Points.

He had taken another small step toward his next upgrade and evolution.

The Arctic Reindeer meat, meanwhile, had been left out overnight and had become extremely hard.

Wolf Sister could not bite through it at all.

She struggled to gnaw at the Arctic Reindeer carcass for a long time, yet could not tear off even the tiniest bit of meat.

Unable to bear it, she let out several aggrieved wolf howls.

Seeing this, Su Lin could only rise helplessly and tear off several pieces of Arctic Reindeer meat. He then bit them into small chunks before tossing them to Wolf Sister.

After all, Wolf Sister was now family connected to him by blood. He could not just stand by and watch her go hungry.

Wolf Sister happily devoured the meat Su Lin threw over.

Little Lone Wolf, watching from the side and drooling, was extremely envious.

As for Gray-White Little Wolf, it sensibly lay on the ground without moving.

After tearing off enough meat for Wolf Sister to eat, Su Lin went outside the cave to patrol the area.

The blizzard outside had weakened somewhat, but it was still bitingly cold.

"Severe climate has caused damage. Health Points -5!"

"The severe climate doubles the host's stamina consumption. Please conserve stamina."

The prompts ringing in his ears made Su Lin hurry back into the cave after one round of inspection.

After he returned, the energetic Little Lone Wolf also bounced over to the cave entrance.

But soon, a gust of wind swept in and sent its still-young Wolf Body tumbling, rolling it straight back into the cave.

"Awoo!"

The unyielding Little Lone Wolf began repeatedly battling the cold wind at the entrance.

Su Lin glanced at it but said nothing.

The boundless energy of wolf pups had to be vented somewhere, after all.

Later, seeing Cousin Sister take up watch duty, he found a wind-sheltered rock and went to sleep.

After being reborn as a wolf, life was not as colorful as it had been as a human. Every day was this dull and monotonous.

But at least there was no pressure from daily life, studying, work, family troubles, and the like. It was quite carefree.

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

Over those seven days, the blizzard came and went, only stopping completely today.

By now, Su Lin had finished eating the lynx in the cave.

That lynx had given him another twenty-plus Evolution Points over the past few days.

Clearly, carnivores provided far less reduced Evolution Points than herbivores.

Even toward the end, lynx meat could still give Su Lin 0.2 Evolution Points.

On the other hand,

the Arctic Reindeer meat had also been mostly eaten.

Little Lone Wolf in particular had eaten without restraint these past few days. The amount it had put away was comparable to the meal of an adult Arctic Wolf.

But it had to be said that Little Lone Wolf was growing incredibly quickly.

Its current size had already surpassed even Cousin Sister's.

Besides that, Did Not Know whether it was because food was always available, but Su Lin noticed some other changes in Little Lone Wolf these days.

The gray fur covering its Wolf Body had darkened somewhat.

Its once-skinny limbs had also grown thicker and stronger.

Its Wolf Claws in particular could be hidden within its thick fur like those of a feline, yet extended and retracted freely.

Furthermore, Little Lone Wolf's resistance to blows, endurance, stamina, and Attack Power were all much higher than those of wolves of the same size.

Cousin Sister had long since ceased to be Little Lone Wolf's match.

Su Lin looked toward Little Lone Wolf.

Little Lone Wolf's numerical attributes appeared Before Him once more.

Species: Arctic Wolf (Mutant). Level: 2.

Health: 265.

Endurance: 27.

Strength: 28.

Defense: 25.

Speed: 23.

Little Lone Wolf's attributes had improved considerably in just a few days.

Moreover, there was now an additional note after its species.

"Hmm? A mutant?"

Su Lin stared at Little Lone Wolf, curiosity gleaming in his blue wolf eyes.

He had checked Little Lone Wolf's attributes before.

He was certain that the word "mutant" had absolutely not been there.

It should have been the ample food these days that had unlocked its innate potential.

That was likely the reason for the changes Little Lone Wolf had undergone recently.

"Awoo."

Seeing Su Lin walk toward it, Little Lone Wolf quickly let out a docile, submissive howl.

Su Lin was now the boss of the cave.

Even if Wolf Dad and the others returned, Su Lin would still be the boss in Little Lone Wolf's heart.

That was because whenever Su Lin found it displeasing, he truly would directly teach it a lesson.

And with One Claw, Even Though he did not use much strength, Little Lone Wolf would still be left dazed and disoriented.

In the worldview of wolves, strength commanded respect.

Su Lin was so strong that Even Though he often disciplined it, it still acknowledged him as its boss.

Of course, the most important reason was that only during these days with Su Lin had it been able to truly fill its belly.

"Awoo!"

Little Lone Wolf let out a low howl and even licked the fur on Su Lin's leg.

Seeing that Su Lin was still staring at it, it hurriedly rolled onto its back to show the greatest intimacy and ingratiation.

When a wolf rolled onto its back, it was almost equivalent to absolute trust and absolute intimacy.

The belly was the softest and most easily injured part of a wolf.

Thus, seeing Little Lone Wolf's fawning behavior, Su Lin merely gave a low howl and reached out with a paw to pat its head again.

Although Little Lone Wolf had unlocked its potential and evolved into a mutant,

its personality had not changed much.

And Little Lone Wolf's mutant strength might prove useful to him in the future.

So he decided to completely take Little Lone Wolf in as his underling.

"Awoo!"

At Su Lin's low-howled signal, Little Lone Wolf got back up.

Its Wolf Body curled up, its tail tucked between its hind legs as it whimpered lowly to show submission.

Su Lin was quite satisfied with the extremely obedient Little Lone Wolf.

He also took the opportunity to give Little Lone Wolf a new codename.

Little Lone Wolf had originally been an Arctic Wolf with gray fur, but now its entire coat had become dark gray.

So he gave it the codename Little Gray.

Of course, only Su Lin knew this codename.

With the scant wolfish intelligence Little Lone Wolf possessed, it still could not understand the concept of names and codenames.

Now that he had taken Little Lone Wolf as his underling,

Su Lin walked out of the cave and leaped onto a boulder at the entrance.

His snow-white Wolf Fur looked Shining Brightly beneath the long-absent sunlight of the Arctic Continent.

Su Lin's body was now about the size of an ordinary adult Arctic Wolf.

And in terms of strength, he far surpassed ordinary Arctic Wolves.

Standing high and looking into the distance, he surveyed the quiet, peaceful Arctic Continent after the blizzard.

He also felt that the blizzard had completely stopped.

Wolf Dad, Wolf Mom, and the others should be returning soon, right?

Just as Su Lin's thoughts wandered, a pack of wolves appeared in his elevated field of vision. They moved slowly from the endless white distance in a complete formation, carrying plenty of food in their mouths.

"Awoo!"

Seeing those figures, Su Lin could not help letting out a long howl.

Immediately afterward, one responding wolf howl after another sounded from afar!

"Awoo!"

"Awoo!"

The loud, drawn-out wolf howls echoed across the open Arctic Continent.
