Chapter 20: Chapter 20: The New Wolf Pack.
Editor: Henyee Translations
“`
During these days, Su Lin’s Evolution Points had also been growing slowly.
Although eating the same prey led to a significant reduction in the points gained,
it was better than nothing, as eating some would still increase three or four Evolution Points.
By now, he had accrued over eighty points.
One more step closer to reaching Level 6.
The remaining two vials of Potential Potion had also been given to Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom.
It was clear,
that because Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom had long since reached adulthood, their physique and bones had already set.
The Potential Potion had minimal effect.
It merely made Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom’s fur look smoother and more lustrous.
It also marginally increased their stats.
With the Potential Potion used up,
Su Lin planned to use the Evolution Potion once he started hunting new prey.
After all, the Evolution Potion could triple the gain in Evolution Points.
It was definitely better to use it when consuming new prey.
After that,
Su Lin laid his cards on the table with Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom.
He was prepared to take Xiao Hui and establish a new Wolf Pack.
As for Wolf Sister, Cousin, and the Grey White Little Wolf,
if Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom were at ease, he could take them along too.
After the discussion,
Wolf Dad remained silent for an entire day.
And Wolf Mom kept affectionately licking Su Lin, trying to make him stay.
Su Lin’s heart struggled with leaving behind the Wolf Mom and Wolf Dad that loved him so much.
Wolf Dad might seem very stern and not fond of communicating with the cubs, but he cared deeply for them on the inside.
However, as his own strength grew, it was bound to increasingly affect Wolf Dad’s authority in the Wolf Pack.
So, Su Lin decided it was best to leave the pack now,
to avoid any serious rift with Wolf Dad in the future.
Moreover, the cave he chose was only about twenty kilometers away from Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom’s.
In case of any trouble, he could quickly come to the aid of Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom.
In the end,
after a day of silence, Wolf Dad gave a low howl of agreement.
He even picked up Wolf Sister, the Grey White Little Wolf, and Cousin with his mouth, indicating with a few low howls that the three cubs should follow Su Lin from now on.
Wolf Sister had always been very dependent on Wolf Brother.
Hearing Wolf Dad’s command, she happily howled without a care in the world.
Cousin and the Grey White Little Wolf also had no objections to following Su Lin.
After all, Su Lin had always been the leader among the young cubs.
It was just that leaving the cave they had lived in for so long and their biological mother was inevitably hard.
The mothers of Grey White Little Wolf and Cousin licked their little ones for a long time, imprinting their scents to memory forever.
Cousin had already been born for a year,
and with the aid of the Potential Potion and plenty of food, had also broken through to Level 3.
She was much more resilient and followed Su Lin after cuddling with her mother for a moment.
However, the Grey White Little Wolf cuddled for a long time,
and it was only after Xiao Hui impatiently gave a couple of low growls that he called the Grey White Little Wolf over.
And so,
a group of five Wolf Clan pups, none over half a year old, left the cave,
to start a new venture into the vast expanse of the Arctic Continent.
….
“Ao!”
Xiao Hui was very excited throughout the journey.
He was finally going to a new cave to start a new life.
A whole Arctic reindeer was stored inside the cave,
and the thought of the delicious meat made him inadvertently drool.
Meanwhile, Wolf Sister, Cousin, and Grey White Little Wolf were outside the cave for the first time, finding everything profoundly novel.
Wolf Sister hopped and played in the snow, also biting at the bushes along the way.
Curiosity filled her Wolf Eyes at everything.
“`
Seeing the bush, he tried to climb it, but ended up tumbling several times.
It was only after Su Lin’s low howl calling that he was able to catch up with the main force.
Grey White Little Wolf and Cousin, though also curious,
still followed Su Lin closely, unlike Wolf Sister who carelessly ran about everywhere.
After Wolf Sister returned, Cousin low howled twice, signaling to Wolf Sister to be careful.
After all, danger could be lurking anywhere in the icy, snowy wilderness.
Staying close to Su Lin gave them a sense of security.
Next,
when the sky had completely darkened,
Su Lin led them to a new cave.
The path to the new cave was rugged and steep.
Xiao Hui could barely make it up on his own,
while Cousin exerted all her strength and only managed to climb a short distance before running out of energy.
As for Wolf Sister and Grey White Little Wolf, they could only look at the path and howl helplessly.
In the end, Su Lin carried them up one by one.
The new cave was spacious,
Upon reaching the cave,
Cousin, Wolf Sister, and Grey White Little Wolf all got familiar with the new environment.
Su Lin then motioned to Xiao Hui to drag the body of the Arctic reindeer over.
The body of the Arctic reindeer, stored in the cave for several days, had become stiff with frost.
The skin had also formed a thin layer of frost.
However, the Wolf Clan wasn’t so picky; any food that was available would be swallowed down.
It was still the old rule set by Su Lin that applied,
Wolf Sister and Cousin would eat first while Xiao Hui and Grey White Little Wolf kept watch at the entrance.
Now at Level 3 strength, Cousin had no trouble tearing flesh from the frozen reindeer carcass.
Only Wolf Sister, after much effort, managed to bite off a small piece of skin and flesh.
“Ao ao!”
She couldn’t help but low howl, seeking help from Wolf Brother.
Wolf Sister also felt quite helpless and incompetent in her frustration,
even needing assistance from her own Wolf Brother for something as simple as eating.
Seeing Wolf Brother come over to help her tear a large chunk of flesh off the Arctic reindeer’s body,
Wolf Sister licked Wolf Brother’s fur to express her thanks and happiness.
But being too short, she could only reach the fur on Wolf Brother’s front paws.
“Ao!”
After helping Wolf Sister tear off a large piece of flesh, Su Lin signaled her to eat quickly.
He also took a couple of bites.
He discovered that although the reindeer meat wasn’t as tender and smooth as when it was freshly hunted,
its frozen state offered a different kind of taste.
Chilled upon entry, it brought out the still fresh, light, and sweet flavor of the reindeer’s meat.
Delicious!
Indeed, it was reindeer meat!
Reindeer meat is considered premium food both in nature and human society.
But Su Lin only ate a few bites before stopping.
With only sparse Evolution Points to be gained, Su Lin lacked the interest and appetite to eat more.
After Wolf Sister and Cousin had eaten their fill,
Su Lin low howled,
Xiao Hui and Grey White Little Wolf then swiftly scampered over to feed.
Currently, Grey White Little Wolf wasn’t much stronger than Wolf Sister and also struggled to tear meat off of the reindeer.
Fortunately, the large chunks of meat that Su Lin had torn off were not completely consumed by Wolf Sister.
With two low howls, seeing that Su Lin didn’t object, Grey White Little Wolf happily began to eat.
Meat from such large herbivores like the Arctic reindeer was rare for Grey White Little Wolf.
And the last two months of consumption were all thanks to following Big Boss Su Lin.
This gave him some consolation for having left his original Wolf Pack and mother.
“Ao!”
Xiao Hui was gulping down the food while joyfully howling at Grey White Little Wolf.
Expressing that only by closely following the leader could one enjoy such delicious food.
