Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Encounter with Lone Wolf Again.
“Ao!”
After glancing at the rewards,
Su Lin didn’t waste any more time,
he began gesturing to Xiao Hui to find some bushes to drag the Grizzly Bear corpse back to the cave.
His Physical Strength Value was almost depleted,
he couldn’t stay out in the icy, snowy wilderness any longer.
While Xiao Hui was looking for bushes,
he glanced at the Grizzly Bear cub abandoned in the icy, snowy land.
The cub had been pierced through its flesh by Xiao Hui’s fanged teeth, with traces of blood oozing from the skin.
Yet it was still quietly crawling towards the back of a pile of snow, attempting to escape by using the snowdrift as cover.
“Hmm? The Vitality and intelligence of this Grizzly Bear cub seem a bit off the charts, don’t they?”
Su Lin couldn’t help but feel surprised as he witnessed this scene.
He had actually felt something amiss from the cub’s hateful gaze right from the start.
What does a one- or two-month-old Grizzly Bear cub understand?
Even if it witnessed its mother being hunted by Su Lin,
shouldn’t it feel fear and terror upon seeing Su Lin again?
Hatred is an emotion that shouldn’t appear in such a small Grizzly Bear cub.
This prompted Su Lin to leap high,
landing on a slope of snow,
his wolf eyes glowing green as he fixed his gaze back on the cub.
Now the Grizzly Bear cub was slowly crawling, trying to flee from there.
With a thought from Su Lin, the Numerical Attributes of the Grizzly Bear cub appeared before his eyes.
Species: Grizzly Bear (Variant Species)
Level: 1.
Qi-Blood: 352.
Endurance: 21.
Strength: 19.
Defense: 17.
Speed: 8.
The numerical attribute panel of the Grizzly Bear cub immediately appeared before him.
This little Grizzly Bear’s attribute panel was magnificent.
A mere one or two months old, yet its attributes could match those of a wolf cub over a year old.
But what caught Su Lin’s attention most was the note next to the Species.
“Variant Species? No wonder a bear cub has such strong Vitality and intelligence.”
Everything made sense once he saw that the bear cub was a Variant Species.
Even without adult Grizzly Bears to care for it,
there was a good chance that this cub could survive in the icy, snowy Arctic.
Even its growth potential was frightening; its future growth was unpredictable.
Therefore, a ruthless light flickered in Su Lin’s wolf eyes!
Eradicate the roots!
A family should be together, intact!
With this thought,
the White Wolf’s body leaped once again,
Su Lin, drained of Physical Strength, could no longer reach his Peak speed.
At that moment, his speed was only about ten meters per second.
But that speed was more than enough to catch up to the Grizzly Bear cub.
“Ao!”
A wolf howl resonated through the sky!
The Grizzly Bear cub heard the howl and swiftly turned around.
Then it saw a majestic White Wolf appear before its eyes.
It was immediately terrified!
In that moment, a look of extreme terror flashed in the cub’s eyes.
It was the Demon King again!
The Demon King who had hunted its Bear Dad and Bear Mom!
Why? Why was this White Wolf so strong?
The Bear Dad had said that the Wolf Clan was nothing but a bunch of useless barkers in front of him.
So why did the mighty and majestic Bear Dad die at the paws of this White Wolf?
The bear cub didn’t understand.
But as it watched the White Wolf approach closer,
it couldn’t help but start to tremble,
and in its terror, it let out continuous roars,
but its youthful bear roars lacked any intimidation.
Su Lin, with his green, ghostly wolf eyes, also took a careful look at the little Grizzly Bear.
He could tell that the bear cub had frightening growth potential.
Furthermore, the intelligence of the Bear Clan is naturally higher than that of the Wolf Clan.
If raised and trained properly in the future,
The Grizzly Bear could understand its command.
But the malice in its eyes remained undiminished.
Because from the beginning, the undisguised resentment in the bear cub’s eyes,
meant it would never truly submit to him.
Eliminating danger in its early stages was the best choice.
Su Lin’s eyes glowed fiercely, showing no mercy,
and with a ruthless slap of his Wolf Claw, the terrified eyes of the Grizzly Bear cub widened.
A Grizzly Bear cub of barely one or two months old could not resist the sharp Wolf Claws.
With one swipe, its life was snatched away!
Had this bear cub grown up, it could have become a great overlord of the Arctic.
Alas, it no longer had that chance.
At that moment, Su Lin, grasping the body of the bear cub, turned to head back.
Xiao Hui had already found a bush and started dragging.
This Grizzly Bear was much heavier than the last,
weighing about seven hundred pounds.
Luckily, Xiao Hui’s strength had also improved leaps and bounds.
With the bush lessening the friction, it managed to drag the Grizzly Bear’s body on its own.
Meanwhile, Su Lin placed the bear cub on the Grizzly Bear’s body,
and led the way ahead.
Su Lin had expended a great deal of Physical Strength,
but he still mustered his energy, his eyes shining green as he surveyed the surroundings,
quickly,
in no time at all,
the two wolves had left the chaotic scene of the battle behind them.
In the pitch dark of night,
Su Lin and Xiao Hui moved toward the direction of the cave.
But just ahead,
where they had passed on their way here,
a scrawny Lone Wolf,
now with an extremely ferocious gleam in its eyes, was clamped down on a Lynx’s throat.
Even as the Lynx’s talons tore the Lone Wolf all over,
the Lone Wolf did not let go.
After biting down on the Lynx’s throat for a long time,
the Lynx finally stopped moving.
Only then did the Lone Wolf release its Fanged Tooth and began to gasp for breath.
“Huff, huff!”
It was breathing hard,
already emaciated with hunger, it wanted to devour the Lynx’s body,
but it couldn’t,
the Lynx had inflicted serious wounds on it too.
Its body was covered with more than a dozen bloody scratches,
draining the little fresh blood and Vitality it had left.
Now, it couldn’t even perform the simplest task of feeding.
It could only breathe heavily, driven by instinct,
and as it panted, the Lone Wolf felt its body slowly turn extremely cold.
“Is this what dying feels like?”
A wistful look appeared in the eyes of the Lone Wolf.
Time passed, and the Lone Wolf felt its eyelids become heavy, and it grew sleepy.
As it closed its eyes, its wolf brain pondered,
“It would have been better to be eaten by Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom; at least that would fill their stomachs.”
…
It was at this very moment,
that Su Lin and Xiao Hui happened to pass by.
Su Lin looked at the Lone Wolf that was clearly still alive, then at the dead Lynx,
and went forward to pick them both up and lay them on the Grizzly Bear’s body.
This Lynx had Level 4 Attributes, a decent strength among its Species.
And the Little Lone Wolf, with only Level 3 Attributes,
was able to turn the tables and bite the Lynx to death, a testament to its ruthless intensity.
If it could survive being brought back to the cave, that would be great,
If not, then it was simply fate.
This battle with the Grizzly Bear had made Su Lin realize the importance of team combat,
and that team combat could earn an extra rating, benefiting from additional rewards.
So, he planned to expand the Wolf Pack.
If the Little Lone Wolf survived,
Su Lin wouldn’t mind taking it in as the newest member of the Wolf Pack.
