Little Wolf's Strength Surges

"Ding, congratulations to the host for extracting 100 Blood Qi, 50 Strength, and 50 Martial Skill Experience from the Phantom Water Wolf."

The gains from a single Phantom Water Wolf exceeded those from over a hundred Great White Rabbits.

Gu Han's process of absorbing attributes was akin to a snowball rolling downhill.

As Gu Han's strength increased, the Demonic Beasts he could kill grew stronger.

The stronger the Demonic Beasts, the more Blood Qi and attributes he could extract.

Gu Han dug a pit near the cave and buried the Phantom Water Wolf's corpse to prevent other Wild Beasts from devouring it.

Then he silently recited in his mind, "Exchange the Water Essence Lotus for Water Element Power."

"Congratulations to the host for a successful exchange, gaining 30 Water Element Power."

Following the system's prompt, Gu Han poured all the Water Element Power onto the Little Wolf.

The surrounding air seemed to grow damp in an instant, and the barely visible Water Element Power converged toward the Little Wolf's body.

The next moment, the Little Wolf, who had been gnawing on roasted meat with its eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

The Little Wolf blinked, instinctively lifting its head to look at Gu Han with a dazed, bewildered expression.

In that instant, Gu Han felt his heart nearly melt.

"Truly, cute pets are the way to go."

Gu Han couldn't resist ruffling the Little Wolf.

"Awoo... woo~"

When its eyes were closed, the Little Wolf hadn't felt much.

Now, with its eyes open, the sudden sensation of leaving the ground sent a wave of panic through it.

The frightened Little Wolf's two small paws nervously gripped Gu Han's hand, refusing to let go even slightly.

The panicked expression in its lively eyes was plain to see.

Gu Han stopped teasing the Little Wolf, set it down on the ground, and let it affectionately rub against his pant leg.

His gaze then fell on the brand-new attribute panels for himself and the Little Wolf.

"The Little Wolf's growth rate is really fast."

Seeing it leap from unranked straight to Second-tier Martial Apprentice at a rocket-like pace, Gu Han couldn't help but be amazed.

Moreover, the Phantom Water Wolf King's racial attribute advantage was now showing itself.

Even among Second-tier Martial Apprentices, the Little Wolf's current attributes were undoubtedly among the strongest.

Its astonishing speed and strength alone would be enough to give other Second-tier Martial Apprentices a headache.

"Come on, let's find you some food."

Gu Han patted the Little Wolf's head and continued hunting in the wild.

Next, Gu Han finally realized just how astonishing the appetite of the transformed Little Wolf was!

Even compared to himself, it was not inferior!

Gu Han and Little Wolf were like two bottomless pits; even an entire Wild Boar couldn't fill both their stomachs!

As the sky gradually turned yellow, Gu Han led Little Wolf back toward the direction of the Military Camp.

"Once we're back at the camp, you stay quietly in the bag and don't make a sound, understand?"

Gu Han patiently instructed Little Wolf.

Leaving Little Wolf in the wild might have been the most suitable lifestyle for it.

But the wilderness was fraught with danger, and Gu Han couldn't bear to let the newly weaned Little Wolf face such peril.

After hesitating, he decided to bring Little Wolf back to the camp with him.

However, if discovered in the Military Camp, it would likely cause no small amount of trouble.

Fortunately, Little Wolf was very intelligent and obediently nodded at Gu Han, "Owoo~"

Although Gu Han couldn't understand Little Wolf's howl, through their spiritual connection he sensed that Little Wolf was expressing its understanding.

On the way back, the pair encountered some War Soldiers collecting Wild Beast carcasses.

Gu Han didn't want trouble and couldn't be bothered to care about these people picking up the corpses he had left behind, so he took a detour back to the camp.

But just as he was about to pass a Mountain Pass, Little Wolf in his backpack suddenly let out a young howl.

Little Wolf even poked its head out and growled low toward the forest on the eastern side.

Gu Han asked in surprise, "What's wrong, Little Wolf?"

"Owoo~"

This time, Gu Han understood Little Wolf's meaning.

"You're saying someone with a scent similar to mine is in danger over there?"

After Gu Han voiced his guess, Little Wolf quickly nodded.

Gu Han's gaze sharpened; Little Wolf's sense of smell shouldn't be wrong.

The person with a scent similar to his could only be one of the Gu Family brothers.

Telling Little Wolf to hide in the backpack, Gu Han swiftly rushed toward the direction Little Wolf had indicated.

In a secluded forest.

With a series of muffled groans, accompanied by the sound of bones cracking, A figure dressed in War Soldier attire slammed heavily into a towering tree.

The person let out a scream, feeling as if his spine had been severely damaged.

The blood he spat out completely stained the front of his clothes red.

"Tch, you actually brought a poisoned dagger when you went out!"

One man stared darkly at Gu Lin.

"If I hadn't brought an Antidote Pill, I might have really fallen into your hands today!"

Another youth in plain clothes spat a thick wad of phlegm onto the ground and leisurely walked up to Gu Lin.

He looked down at Gu Lin, who could no longer get up, "Lei Chao wanted to beat you, so you should have just taken it. Instead, you dared to tattle."

The other youths also stepped forward, arms crossed, their gazes full of contempt, "Because of you, we have to hunt a hundred Fifth-Order Wild Beasts in this godforsaken place! With so many people, we can't even snatch them!"

"I didn't expect you to have the guts to go out at a time like this."

"That Lei Chao guy is locked up in confinement, so I'll just take my anger out on you!"

The man sneered, stepping on Gu Lin's chest and grinding his sternum viciously.

"Anyway, in this desolate wilderness, even if you die, no one will know it was us."

"Even if someone suspects, they'll only blame it on Lei Chao!"
