Chapter 57: Chapter 57 Strengthening Talent.
At this time, Su Lin also noticed the Little Lone Wolf.
While unconscious,
he had fed it several pieces of Variant Species Grizzly Bear Meat.
Now that the Little Lone Wolf had been awake for three days,
Su Lin had consistently ignored it.
He wanted to see the nature of this Little Lone Wolf.
If it only had ferocity and brutality, there wouldn’t be much point in taking it in.
Fortunately, the Little Lone Wolf did not disappoint him.
He gestured to Xiao Hui to invite the Little Lone Wolf to eat.
Xiao Hui, currently measuring at one meter seventy-eight, was not considered small among Arctic Wolves.
Hearing the command from the lead wolf, Xiao Hui approached the Little Lone Wolf and let out a low howl.
Hearing this low howl, inviting it to eat,
the Little Lone Wolf, which had its head buried in its forelimbs, finally lifted its head.
It knew that under the polar night, food was very precious.
In the Wolf Pack, one had to participate in hunting to get food.
Except for the cubs,
no other members ever received food without working for it.
So, it was planning to hold on,
waiting to follow the Wolf Pack on a hunt,
and afterwards, to eat some leftovers would suffice.
That way, the Wolf Pack wouldn’t drive it away,
but its weak physical state
left it unsure if it would last until that day.
“Ao!”
At this moment, the Little Lone Wolf was somewhat stunned.
It had not expected the Wolf Pack to invite it to eat.
Xiao Hui, after waiting for a moment and seeing the Little Lone Wolf still dazed and motionless,
impatiently slapped its head with a paw.
“Pop!”
Xiao Hui hadn’t used much force,
but the Little Lone Wolf was too weak,
and the slap caused the already barely standing wolf to stagger and fall once again.
However, fortunately,
the Little Lone Wolf quickly struggled to stand up again.
Seeing how weak it was, Xiao Hui did not let it go over to eat,
but instead tore off several large chunks of flesh from the Grizzly Bear carcass and brought them over to it.
Grizzly Bear Meat,
the Little Lone Wolf had never eaten before.
Because the pack it previously belonged to was small,
upon encountering a Grizzly Bear they would not think of hunting, but only of retreating with tails between their legs.
“Ao!”
Xiao Hui let out another low howl, urging it to eat quickly.
This prompted the cautious Little Lone Wolf to move closer to the food.
Then it lifted its head to look at the White Wolf not far away.
It knew in its heart
that this White Wolf was the Lead Wolf of the pack.
Seeing that the White Wolf showed no objection,
it then extended its tongue to lick the Grizzly Bear Meat.
The Little Lone Wolf, which hadn’t eaten in a long time, could only feel the rich taste of the meat rushing into its brain.
Then, unable to suppress its appetite any longer,
it began to eat voraciously.
At this moment,
the Little Lone Wolf felt the Grizzly Bear Meat was the most delicious food it had ever eaten in this world.
Seeing the wolf gulp down the meat, Xiao Hui shook its head satisfactorily and then walked away.
Following that,
Xiao Hui resumed frolicking with Wolf Sister and the Grey White Little Wolf.
As for Su Lin,
he returned to his spot,
and began studying the rewards he had received for hunting the Grizzly Bear.
There was no need to say much about the Evolution Potion.
The main thing was the two new serums he obtained.
[Variant Species Serum]: Life Evolution, Gene Tempering, Achievement of Variant Species.
[Talent Serum]: Ten percent chance to unlock a new talent, ninety percent chance to strengthen one’s own talent.
The descriptions of the two serums were simple and straightforward,
making them easy to understand at a glance.
The Variant Species Serum could evolve an ordinary species into a Variant Species.
But gene tempering,
though it sounded straightforward,
Su Lin knew the process would definitely not be an easy ordeal.
“`
After all, there was a precedent with the Strengthening Serum.
However, he couldn’t use the Variant Species Serum.
The notification stated the Variant Species Serum was incompatible with him.
Su Lin didn’t feel any regret about it.
With the Devouring Evolution system,
he could devour the genetic flesh of all beings and become the strongest.
As for this Variant Species Serum,
he thought he might give it to Wolf Father.
Wolf Father had now reached Level 6 and was also a very strong Lead Wolf among the Arctic Wolves.
If he evolved into a variant species,
his strength would greatly increase, and he could then better lead the wolf pack to survive.
And the Talent Serum,
Su Lin felt that this was the biggest gain from fighting the Grizzly Bear.
Whether obtaining an additional talent or enhancing an existing one, the improvement to him would be enormous.
“Ding! Would you like to use the Talent Serum?”
As soon as Su Lin took out the Talent Serum, a pale grey notification message popped up before his eyes.
“Use.”
He didn’t hesitate.
Then, before long, he felt an energy surge within him,
unlike the scorching Strengthening Serum; it was more of a warm flow,
which felt very comfortable.
This warmth eventually spread throughout Su Lin’s entire lupine body,
and soon his wolf form had fully absorbed that warm flow.
“Ding! Healing Talent enhanced successfully, upgraded to a Level C Talent.”
The pale grey message appeared.
Following that,
the detailed description of the Level C Healing Talent also appeared before him.
[Healing]: Level C (Upgradable), Passive Talent.
Wound healing speed increased by twenty times, immune to toxins, immune to bacterial infections, effective against spiritual and radiation injuries.
Duration: Permanent.
Cooldown Period: None.
The Level C Healing Talent
improved the healing speed by twenty times.
This recovery rate significantly increased Su Lin’s survival capability.
If he simply sustained minor injuries, he could recover in about a day.
Even critical injuries that damaged muscles and bones could be completely healed in just four or five days.
Currently, this Healing Talent was only at Level C,
and Su Lin wondered beyond what level it might evolve.
At that moment, Su Lin,
though slightly regretful that the talent enhanced was not the Hunting Talent,
wasn’t overly choosy,
after all, the Healing Talent, related to survival ability, was equally important.
After he finished using the Talent Serum,
he looked up at Little Lone Wolf who was gobbling the meat voraciously.
Little Lone Wolf had finished eating the meat he had dragged over,
and though his wounds were not going to heal instantly,
his spirit was visibly lifted.
Still, he would need to be properly trained in the future,
to truly turn Little Lone Wolf into a brave and skilled fighter in the wolf pack.
Afterward,
Su Lin got up as usual,
and, with Xiao Hui, first patrolled the vicinity of the cave.
There were no unexpected gains.
Then, he checked on other areas that had started to show signs of life again.
Every wolf pack, and even every hunter, possesses its own territory.
All game within that territory
are considered their private property and reserve supplies.
However, under the polar night, all life was desolate,
and neither wolf packs nor hunters cared much about their territory.
Now that many species were beginning to migrate back,
Su Lin could smell that the territory nearby had been marked by another wolf pack.
But that place was less than three kilometers from his own cave.
If it was occupied by another wolf pack,
where would he hunt in the future?
What would the brood of cubs in the cave eat?
Was he expected to hunt in the territories overseen by Wolf Father’s wolf pack, like before?
Su Lin bared his sharp fangs,
feeling that it was time to carve out a territory for his own wolf pack!
