Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Wolf Father’s Anger.
Editor: Henyee Translations
The Arctic Continent at night.
Hiss… Hiss…
Not far away, the sound of vehicles traveling over ice and snow drew Su Lin’s gaze, his eyes emitting a faint green glow.
The off-road vehicle was about a hundred meters away from him.
He made no move.
Just quietly watched the off-road vehicle depart.
Although the Arctic Continent is a land of ice and snow, there are still some explorers or researchers.
And nowadays, in most cases, humans and animals coexist harmoniously.
Even many nature reserves have been designated to protect the living environments of animals.
Therefore, as long as they are not vicious poachers, it’s not too much of a concern.
In his past life, Su Lin held some good will towards humans, as one of them.
“Awoo!”
After watching the off-road vehicle leave, Su Lin let out a low howl, signaling Xiao Hui, who had been hiding in the bushes without showing himself, to come and eat.
Xiao Hui, who had been lying in the snow for two or three hours, felt numb from the cold.
Only after hearing Su Lin’s call did he move his wolf body and trot over to the musk oxen corpse to start eating.
While eating, he howled softly,
expressing his reverence and excitement for food towards the invincible leader.
Meanwhile, Su Lin gathered two round bushes to use the same method they had employed with the Arctic reindeer before, planning to bring back the hunted musk ox to the cave.
A single musk oxen could feed the entire wolf pack for several days.
Although wolves can go without food for ten days to half a month without any issues,
if there is enough to eat, they’d rather be full every day.
Especially Wolf Sister, who was still in a period of rapid growth,
and daily food was very important for her at this young age.
Now Su Lin had advanced to level 5,
and his strength had increased significantly.
His speed reached nearly thirty meters per second,
and the striking power of Wolf Claws, the biting force of fangs, and the launching power of the pounce all had significant improvements.
His wolf body also reached 1.6 meters, and with the inclusion of the tail, the body length exceeded two meters.
With such a size, even compared to Wolf Father, he was not much different.
After surveying the surroundings for a while and seeing no danger, he decided to take the hunted musk oxen and leave.
Meanwhile, Xiao Hui was still eating voraciously, his belly visibly bulging.
In the wilderness of ice and snow, it was enough to eat till only six or seven out of ten full, as overeating would hinder one’s ability to move.
So, with one swipe of his paw, Su Lin smacked him on the head.
The blow sent him rolling over twice before he got up, crying out in aggrievement.
Su Lin offered no explanation, as complex reasoning was beyond Xiao Hui’s simple intelligence.
He could only learn by experiencing harsh reality and force.
“Awoo!”
Su Lin let out an impatient, low howl, signaling Xiao Hui to come and drag the prey.
Although Xiao Hui felt wronged, he still hurried over diligently.
After all, in his mind, whatever the leader did was right, with unquestionable authority.
Xiao Hui was close to breaking through to level 3, and being a Variant Species, he wasn’t weak.
With his help in dragging, Su Lin didn’t need to exert much effort.
On their way back, they also encountered other hunters attracted by the scent of blood.
This was an Arctic Wolf Pack with one male and two females,
Compartmented to the pack led by Wolf Father, with eight adult Arctic Wolves, their strength was considered strong.
Most other wolf packs were just scattered groups of three or four wolves.
The strongest male Arctic Wolf of the pack blocking their path only had level 5 attributes,
while the other two females were one level 4 and one level 3, respectively.
Such strength didn’t trouble Su Lin at all.
If they dared to act, Su Lin wouldn’t mind teaching this wolf pack a painful lesson.
But clearly, the leading male Arctic Wolf also sensed that Su Lin was not to be trifled with.
After a low howl and some standoffish behavior, he wisely retreated.
Afterwards, Su Lin and Xiao Hui dragged the musk oxen corpse back to the cave.
Just as he approached the cave, he saw Wolf Father patrolling nearby.
As the Lead Wolf, Wolf Father was very responsible, often patrolling the territory.
At that moment, Su Lin let go of his prey and leaped onto a boulder to howl long and loud, signaling to Wolf Father that he had returned.
Patrolling Wolf Father heard the howl and a pair of green eyes instantly looked over.
“The pup is back?”
His heart, which had been hanging all this time, finally began to relax.
Upon waking and finding that Su Lin and Xiao Hui were not in the cave, he had been somewhat worried.
After all, food was scarce on the Arctic Continent nowadays, and many Hunters would eat almost anything.
He was concerned for the pup’s safety.
Of course, besides that,
Wolf Father, as the unchallenged Lead Wolf of the Wolf Pack,
also felt very annoyed about Su Lin and Xiao Hui leaving without permission.
Just two little pups, and they had already started disobeying him; how was he going to control the entire Wolf Pack in the future?
Wolf Father felt a stifled anger in his heart,
and now that he saw the pup return, he was ready to give him a severe lesson.
However, quickly, Wolf Father’s keen sense of smell detected a strong scent of blood.
In the dead of night, the green light reflecting in Wolf Eyes,
faintly revealed the once impeccably white fur of his own pup covered in large patches of blood.
This caused Wolf Father to bare his Fanged Tooth involuntarily!
Had the pup been injured?
“Ao!”
He howled angrily and ran over frantically.
Su Lin, of course, also saw Wolf Father charging towards him.
“Ao!”
He howled long and loud at Wolf Father.
Upon arriving, Wolf Father immediately came up to Su Lin and started licking his fur all over with his tongue.
Although he didn’t seem to be as affectionate towards Su Lin as Wolf Mother was, his concern for his own pup was no less deep.
Seeing Su Lin covered in blood, his pair of green Wolf Eyes became filled with ferocity and murderous intent.
“Hmm? This blood scent is wrong? It’s not from the pup.”
Wolf Father had a very sensitive nose and quickly discerned the source of the blood scent.
At that time, Su Lin howled lowly, signaling Wolf Father to look behind him.
Wolf Father turned his head, and soon saw Xiao Hui still clenching onto the prey.
Xiao Hui was still straining with all its might to drag the Musk Oxen.
Unfortunately, without Su Lin’s help, even with the bushes reducing the friction,
it could only drag it a short distance before becoming so exhausted that it just stuck out its tongue and gasped for air on the spot.
The seemingly naive and adorable Xiao Hui only got a quick glance from Wolf Father before he moved on.
His gaze eventually settled on the carcass of the Musk Oxen being dragged.
“Ao!”
Wolf Father leaped off the boulder, walked over, sniffed it with his nose,
and seemed to hardly believe that it was a Musk Oxen.
The last time the pups caught a few Arctic Rabbits, he could barely accept it.
While Arctic Rabbits are not very aggressive,
besides having keen hearing and fast Speed, there’s not much to worry about.
Anyone with enough experience and patience could hunt them down.
But this, this is a Musk Oxen!
Even he wouldn’t dare to mess with a Musk Oxen of this size.
If he were to be carelessly struck by its horns, he would be utterly incapacitated.
Therefore, Wolf Father, who had originally planned to severely punish the pup,
fell silent after seeing the carcass of the Musk Oxen.
Then he turned his head again, only to notice that the pup had grown bigger again, almost rivaling his own size.
Strength, size, hunting, food.
This silent scene seemed to be suggesting that the pup might have already surpassed him.
