Silver Wolf? Wolf King!

Spring was the season when all things came back to life, and also the season when creatures mated.

At this moment, on a grassland in the Star Dou Great Forest, two Soft Bone Rabbits were gazing deeply into each other's eyes. They were naked, facing one another with not a single hair on their bodies.

"How touching!"

Beside the two Soft Bone Rabbits, tears of emotion flowed from the corner of Wu Ling's mouth.

"Even in death, they wanted to die together. This sincere love moved me so much that I couldn't help sprinkling on some cumin."

After sprinkling the cumin, Wu Ling adjusted the positions of the two Soft Bone Rabbits that had been skewered through by two sticks.

"Come on, come on, why are you being so distant? Get a little closer.

Xiao Hong, go chop down some more Blue Silver Grass. This plant burns way too quickly.

And Xiao Lan, don't just stand there watching. Even if I'm not letting you eat any, does that mean I can't let you smell it? Come over and help me turn them. Remember not to burn them."

"Wouldn't firewood work? Did we really have to use a plant like Blue Silver Grass as fuel..." Xiao Hong, who had been cultivating his Soul Power, was interrupted by Wu Ling. But since Wu Ling was the main body, he could only grumble and curse under his breath as he went to cut Blue Silver Grass.

As the main body, how could Wu Ling not know what Xiao Hong was thinking? Wu Ling savored the aroma of the roasting rabbits and smiled faintly. "At the end of the day, he's just a clone with a head full of Hot-Blooded passion. Would he eat it? He wouldn't. Even if he knew their relationship, he wouldn't feel anything. This meal doesn't just satisfy the stomach—it satisfies the heart."

Only after giving Xiao Lan and Xiao Hong their orders did Wu Ling finally have time to take out the map and examine it.

"We've been in the Star Dou Great Forest for five days now, yet both the Elemental Spirit Cats and Elemental Vines are gone. Even the nearby Spirit Beasts differ somewhat from what the map says. I know competition in nature is fierce, but isn't this a little too fierce?

Especially the territory of that ten-thousand-year Earth Rock Turtle we passed. Even if it had only just entered the ten-thousand-year level, it was still a high-level defensive Spirit Beast. Even Spirit Beasts with twenty or thirty thousand years of cultivation would have a hard time killing it. So how did it just disappear?"

In response to Wu Ling's question, Gui Mei revealed his true form beside him.

"Wu Ling, when this kind of situation occurs, either some force has been hunting or capturing Spirit Beasts on a massive scale, or a top-tier predator has been born.

No matter whether it's the first reason or the second, the Silver Wolf's chances of survival are very small. So, Wu Ling, you should make preparations early.

But you don't need to be disappointed. After all, eight or nine things out of ten in this world never go as one wishes. No one can guarantee that their Spirit Ring will be one hundred percent suitable for them."

"I understand, Grandpa Ghost. I'm just upset because my plan got disrupted."

Having practiced martial arts since childhood, how could Wu Ling not understand? This world had never revolved according to anyone's wishes.

But Wu Ling was someone who liked making plans, and once he made one, he would stop at nothing to carry it out. Even if it made him and certain others unhappy, as long as the plan could be completed smoothly, the satisfaction of that moment would make Wu Ling feel that everything had been worth it.

Of course, Wu Ling also knew how to adapt to circumstances. Most of his plans at the time concerned what he would eat each day, so he only needed to leave today's desired meal for tomorrow's self.

Just as Wu Ling and Gui Mei studied the map and considered where they could find a replacement if the Silver Wolf was truly gone, Xiao Hong's voice came from behind them.

"Main body, the rabbits are done."

"Alright, feast your eyes for now. I'll be right there."

After Wu Ling finished speaking, he turned to Gui Mei and said, "Grandpa Ghost, let's eat first. If there really aren't any Silver Wolves tomorrow, we'll head deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest, to where that eighty-thousand-year Eight-Source Eight-Headed Snake is.

Then I'll need you to hold off the Snake King while I find a suitable young snake to hunt."

"Alright."

That single quiet word was enough to calm Wu Ling's heart and fill him with a sense of security from deep within.

"So this is the sense of security a Title Douluo provides? I wonder when I'll reach that level."

Sitting by the campfire, Wu Ling and Gui Mei picked up the roasted rabbits.

The roasted rabbits were crisp outside and tender inside. Their surfaces were golden, while the meat within was fresh and delicate, completely lacking the gamey smell of rabbit.

They tore the rabbit meat apart along the grain as they ate. The thinner portions were crisp and refreshing, while the thicker portions were especially soft, chewy, and springy.

"Delicious. I never expected rabbit could be eaten like this." After taking a few bites, Gui Mei offered his approval at just the right moment.

Hearing praise from a "customer" made Wu Ling, the chef, very happy. Although talking while eating was not ideal, Wu Ling could not help but explain.

"Of course. When eating rabbit, it has to be either spicy and fragrant or numbing and spicy.

And in terms of nutritional value, rabbit meat has three highs and three lows: high protein, high lysine, and high digestibility; low cholesterol, low fat, and low calories. Simply put, it's easy to digest and won't make you fat.

Although rabbit meat contains much more protein than ordinary meats, its cholesterol and fat contents are far lower than every other kind of meat. That's why rabbit meat is known as 'the vegetable among meats.'

Especially Spirit Beast rabbits like these—their nutrition and flavor surpass ordinary rabbits by who knew how much.

If there were a hundred-thousand-year rabbit, just how delicious would it be!"

Although Gui Mei did not understand what acids or cholesterol were, he felt there was no point asking about things related to food. After all, he did not cook. So he simply did not ask and continued eating seriously.

Something else happened while they ate. Several hundred-year wolf-type Spirit Beasts were drawn over by the scent of the rabbit, only for Xiao Lan to wipe them all out while wearing a listless expression.

"Ah, today it's your deaths. Tomorrow, it might be mine. Death is the endpoint of all life, while I was born before the finish line..."

"Alright, Xiao Lan. Stop giving off such a gloomy aura. Be more sunny and cheerful like Xiao Hong."

Wu Ling interrupted Xiao Lan's verbal spellcasting, then quickly finished the rabbits.

After dinner, Wu Ling used cultivation in place of sleep and spent the night beneath the firelight.

Following his biological clock, Wu Ling woke up punctually the next day.

When Wu Ling looked around, Gui Mei had once again vanished from sight. He shrugged and recalled Xiao Lan and Xiao Hong into his shadow.

"Let's go. We have to find the target today!"

Six hours later, it was already noon, and Wu Ling had indeed found his target.

"The intelligence called that a Silver Wolf? Was the person who spotted it blind?"

In the clearing ahead of Wu Ling's hiding place, three Golden Wolf Kings guarded a silver-white Silver Wolf tightly, as though it were the moon surrounded by stars.

It was nearly three and a half meters long, with a slender yet powerful body. A tuft of silver-white fur on its forehead curved like a crescent moon, and it had a pair of silver eyes.

"Judging by its size and the markings on its body, this thing has already reached the ten-thousand-year level. And it didn't just enter it—it's at least a thirteen-thousand-year—Silver Moon Wolf King!"

The third Spirit Ring was coming. Who would he summon? Dear readers, feel free to guess. Hint: a magician!
