Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Breakthrough in Strength.
The lynx and Little Lone Wolf combined weighed about a hundred pounds.
This made it even more strenuous for Xiao Hui to drag the grizzly bear carcass.
After Su Lin slowly walked for a while, he recovered some physical strength,
and began to help drag it as well.
On the way back to the cave,
they encountered some hunters drawn by the scent of blood.
However, most of these hunters were in a very poor condition.
They didn’t have much fighting strength.
After assessing the risks and their own capabilities in front of Su Lin’s size,
they all skulked away defeated.
Because of this,
Su Lin and Xiao Hui had a relatively safe journey home.
Back at the cave,
Wolf Sister, who had been sound asleep, was also awakened by the strong smell of blood.
Waking up to see,
Wolf Brother had brought back another huge grizzly bear and a lynx carcass.
Keep in mind that they hadn’t even finished eating the last of the bear meat,
but the more abundant the food, the better the life of the wolf pack.
This made Wolf Sister bounce around in excitement, yelping with surprise and joy.
However, Su Lin had exhausted a great deal of energy,
and he, panting heavily, had no desire even to eat the grizzly bear meat.
He returned to his spot and began to rest.
It had been quite an effort for Xiao Hui to drag the grizzly bear carcass all the way back,
so he too was panting heavily and lay down to sleep next to Grey White Little Wolf.
It seemed as if only a deep sleep could replenish the tremendous amount of physical strength it had lost.
At this time,
the bouncing Wolf Sister took notice of Little Lone Wolf still panting.
She began to approach, sniffing with her nose.
Although the scent was unfamiliar,
she could still discern the smell of her own kind.
Hmm? Is this a new member that Wolf Brother has brought back?
Wolf Sister was very surprised in her heart.
After resting for a short while,
Su Lin let out a low howl, signaling Cousin to check on Little Lone Wolf on top of the grizzly bear carcass,
and meanwhile, to have Cousin smash some ice shards at the cave entrance and feed them to Little Lone Wolf.
Having given these instructions,
Su Lin also lay down to sleep.
Cousin carried out Su Lin’s signals to the letter,
bringing the smashed ice shards to Little Lone Wolf’s mouth,
and driven by the instinct to survive, Little Lone Wolf took the ice shards into its mouth,
which, once melted into water, flowed into its stomach.
After Cousin had done all this,
she came over to Su Lin and found the wounds on his body that had been torn by the grizzly bear’s claw spikes,
and she extended her tongue to lick the wounds a few times as a form of disinfection.
In fact, Cousin didn’t realize that these claw spike-caused wounds were only skin deep,
they looked frightening but were not severe.
With the Healing Talent in action, it would only take a few days for the wounds to heal completely.
After licking a few times and seeing that Su Lin had fallen asleep,
Cousin returned to the entrance of the cave and resumed her guard duty.
Under the eternal night sky,
time quietly slipped by,
…
The next day,
Su Lin woke up from a deep sleep,
his body was still somewhat painful, but it was significantly better.
With the Healing Talent,
the wounds torn by the grizzly bear’s claw spikes really didn’t trouble him.
By now, a faint light was already visible on the horizon.
This light heralded the retreat of the polar night.
The warm season of the Arctic was approaching.
Many species were beginning to migrate this way.
Su Lin’s physical strength and condition had substantially recovered by now.
After standing up, he moved his body around,
and then he used an Evolution Potion.
As the faintly cool energy of the Evolution Potion spread throughout his body,
Su Lin approached the grizzly bear carcass,
since eating ordinary Grizzly Bear Meat no longer yielded him much Evolution Points,
so instead, he went straight for the bear gall, the essence of the beast.
Su Lin did not hesitate and swallowed the bear gall.
The bear gall tasted somewhat bitter,
but once it hit the stomach, it felt like it transformed into a vast energy, rapidly converting into Evolution Points.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for consuming Bear Gall (Level 12), obtaining 100 Evolution Points.”
100 Evolution Points.
Su Lin’s eyes lit up.
These Evolution Points were clearly more than what he had gained last time.
It was evident that the higher the Level of the prey hunted, the more Evolution Points its essence would provide.
With these 100 Evolution Points,
Su Lin once again reached the threshold for promotion!
The Mysterious Energy of Evolution arrived swiftly.
This Mysterious Energy spread all throughout Su Lin’s body,
and the wounds that had just begun to scab over were also healing at a visibly rapid rate under this energy.
