Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Devouring Bear Cubs.
But the energy of evolution could only heal injuries.
The physical strength that had been expended wouldn’t recover or increase in the slightest.
This was also why he hadn’t eaten directly yesterday.
Following that,
Su Lin began to hold his breath and concentrate, greedily absorbing this energy.
This energy also strengthened and nourished the limbs and body of the wolf form.
It was an all-around enhancement.
The fur, flesh, limbs, and bones of Su Lin were all being gradually strengthened.
About fifteen minutes later,
the mysterious energy of evolution finally began to dissipate.
Su Lin had officially advanced to level 7.
His wolf form, which had already broken through two meters, grew even larger.
The wolf body had reached a size of about two meters and thirty or forty centimeters,
and considering the wolf tail, it was beginning to approach three meters.
This size,
even among the wolf clan, with the North American Grey Wolf being the largest, was hard to match.
Besides that,
the most significant change was in the claw spikes.
The claw spikes grew by about one centimeter longer, and their sharpness also increased.
Now it was even easier to tear through the skin and flesh of a grizzly bear.
The claw spikes could retract into the fur during regular times, well protected from wear.
As soon as they were revealed,
they would become utterly incisive.
Now, Su Lin,
had reached a new height in strength.
Name: Su Lin.
Species: Arctic Wolf.
Level: 7. (1280 Evolution Points needed to level up.)
Qi-Blood: 700.
Endurance: 70.
Strength: 70.
Defense: 70.
Speed: 130.
Evolution Points: 75.
Additional Attribute Points: 10.
Talent: Hunting (D-level), Healing (D-level).
The newest attribute panel appeared before his eyes.
Su Lin once again allocated the 10 Additional Attribute Points to speed.
Although his speed was already considered peak speed in the natural world,
it still wasn’t enough; he couldn’t be sure what level of opponents he might face in the future.
Only speed that allowed him to come and go like the wind and retreat at will could give Su Lin a solid sense of security.
A Speed Value of 140 meant that his speed had broken through once again.
If Su Lin were to sprint at full strength, he would officially reach more than forty meters per second.
At this speed,
even professional soldiers, wielding firearms,
would find it very difficult to aim and hit a target moving so fast.
After advancing to level 7,
the peak speed that the wolf form could endure and the ultimate explosive force had also reached a new upper limit.
At this moment, Su Lin,
went to the mouth of the cave and let out a long howl, venting the joy of the tremendous increase in strength.
“Ao!”
The howl of the wolf
echoed under the harsh polar night.
In this long howl,
Xiao Hui also woke up.
Just waking up, it sensed that the alpha’s aura had ascended to a new level.
“Ao!”
This made it unable to help but let out consecutive yips of surprise and delight.
The now rested Xiao Hui,
came up to the alpha, looking at its sizable and vigorous wolf body that had grown another size, with eyes full of envy.
Meanwhile, the cousin on guard also let out a low howl to express her amazement.
Actually, the cousin had watched Su Lin grow up.
In less than a year’s time,
the little wolf pup that used to suckle had transformed in the blink of an eye into such a tall and robust lead wolf.
At this time, the cousin,
approached Su Lin from the mouth of the cave, intending to check his wounds.
Now just one meter thirty-four centimeters tall, the cousin seemed like a cub next to the towering Su Lin.
He leapt up,
only able to see while his forepaws rested on Su Lin’s body.
However, after looking, he found that the wounds had disappeared.
Cousin sniffed to the left, sniffed to the right,
searched in Su Lin’s fur for a long while, and discovered that the injuries had indeed completely vanished.
This filled her wolf eyes with both confusion and astonishment.
But the simple intelligence of the wolf clan couldn’t support her in thinking too deeply,
and once she couldn’t find any injuries, she just assumed Su Lin had healed himself.
“Ao!”
After Cousin got down from the wolf body,
Su Lin let out a low howl and started calling everyone to eat.
The still drowsy Wolf Sister and the Grey White Little Wolf,
roused from their sleep by the low howl to eat,
were now groggily awake.
When it came to feeding, these two cubs were always very eager.
Su Lin didn’t feed on the grizzly bear meat,
but went to the side of the small bear cub’s carcass.
This bear cub was a variant species,
having been left in the cave for over ten hours yet still not having frozen stiff.
Although it had only level 1 attributes,
it still had a good twenty or thirty pounds of flesh.
Su Lin began to feed.
His sharp fanged teeth tore large chunks of blood and flesh from the bear cub’s body.
As soon as he tasted the meat, he found it far more delicious than ordinary grizzly bear meat.
The flesh was tender, smooth, and tasty,
but most importantly,
the nutrition and energy from the variant species bear meat were incomparable to that of ordinary bear meat.
With the first mouthful swallowed into his stomach, the obtained Evolution Points
made Su Lin’s eyes shine with brilliance!
“Ding! Host has consumed variant species grizzly bear meat, obtaining 45 Evolution Points.”
This number of Evolution Points was somewhat beyond Su Lin’s expectation.
This one bite was nearly equal to the yield from eating almost an entire Arctic Salmon previously.
Driven by the huge Evolution Points, Su Lin’s appetite suddenly surged.
“Ding! Host has consumed variant species grizzly bear meat, obtaining 42 Evolution Points.”
“Ding! Host has consumed variant species grizzly bear meat, obtaining 39 Evolution Points.”
“Ding! Host has consumed variant species grizzly bear meat, obtaining 36 Evolution Points.”
…
The meat of the variant species grizzly bear gave high Evolution Points but also had a steep decrease.
The reduction of 3 Evolution Points was far greater than any regular food.
But he still continued to eat voraciously.
After several breakthroughs, Su Lin’s appetite had reached an alarming state.
To be fully satiated, normally it would take about thirty pounds of food.
But the energy and nutrition from the variant bear meat were far beyond those of ordinary meats.
Having consumed only seven or eight pounds of variant species grizzly bear meat,
Su Lin already felt quite stuffed.
He did not continue eating,
and just those seven or eight pounds of variant species grizzly bear meat had already provided him with over two hundred Evolution Points.
After eating,
he then glanced at the Little Lone Wolf that was still unconscious by his side,
whose condition was clearly more stable than yesterday but still not good.
Su Lin tore off a soft piece of the bear cub’s flesh, rich in blood, and stuffed it into the mouth of the Little Lone Wolf.
This was the meat and blood of a variant species grizzly bear, rich in a copious amount of nutrition and energy.
That was all he could do for now.
As for whether the Little Lone Wolf could survive, it all depended on how tough it was.
Afterward,
Su Lin stretched his wolf body out,
and now, being over two meters in size, his overall strength had reached a formidable level.
His regular Attack Power had already reached 70,
and if he utilized his right paw, now strengthened, his Attack Power could soar to around 100.
It can be said
that even without using his Hunting Talent,
Su Lin had evolved significantly since then.
If he were to battle the same female grizzly bear that he hunted for the first time,
in terms of sheer strength, he would now be an even match.
Moreover, he possessed the peak speed of the entire Arctic,
With such strength,
the day when he would become the strongest overlord of the Arctic was not far off.
