Chapter 218: Chapter 164: Subduing Exotic Grass.
The Variant Species Grizzly Bear died, its consciousness dissipating into the chilling air of the forest.
Su Lin showed no mercy to this old friend.
It was, after all, thanks to this Variant Species Grizzly Bear’s clues that he completed his first genetic metamorphosis.
Yet the path of evolution is often paved with bloodshed and slaughter.
This Grizzly Bear had been his foe on multiple occasions, and should have foreseen its end on the Blood Soaked Ice Field.
In fact, Su Lin wouldn’t have minded letting it go had it not shown up in this campaign of the Wolf Pack.
After all, months had passed since their last encounter in the Wolf Pack Territory.
Moreover, during the previous standoffs, the Variant Species Grizzly Bear had wisely retreated without a fight.
Between them, there was no deep-seated hatred.
But the Grizzly Bear insisted on joining the fray, so it could blame no one but itself for its fate.
Now Su Lin, his body drenched in blood and resembling a Blood Wolf, had an even more solemn expression in his deep blue wolf eyes after the Variant Species Grizzly Bear took its final breath.
Because he could sense a familiar grassy fragrance awakening from the bear’s corpse, akin to several strands of Tendril.
Just as this fragrance began to permeate the air, Su Lin let out another earth-shaking Wolf’s Howl Sound Wave!
No matter how strong the Exotic Cuscuta Seed’s host was, he was eager to see if it could withstand his close-range Wolf Howl!
The tyrannical sound waves exploded in the chill air, hurtling at thousands of kilometers per second towards the source of the grassy fragrance!
“Awooo!”
One howl, and the sound waves swept across the icy landscape!
At such a close distance, even a Variant Species of Level Twenty-something would be severely damaged by this howl.
Bang!
A tremendous vibration sounded!
The formidable Wolf Howl collided with a rich, emerald fluorescence!
The resulting shockwave cracked the surrounding ice, leaving several fissures!
In this violent collision, the dead Grizzly Bear’s back was completely torn open, revealing a thick Tendril that spanned more than ten meters, standing out against the pitch-black night sky!
The fluorescence of this Tendril shone brilliantly against the dark night sky.
Hum!
As the main body of the Tendril quivered slightly, Su Lin’s howling sound waves were entirely blocked.
Only the powerful aftershock continued to display its might, as fragments of ice exploded and sprayed into the air, like a shower of shattered ice.
This Tendril had been coiling parasitically around the spine of the Variant Species Grizzly Bear, absorbing nutrients and energy from the bear’s flesh and blood all this time.
Unlike the Ice Mountain Lotus and Black Fruit Yan Gao Lan, which could draw Pure Energy on their own from the natural world, the Exotic Cuscuta Seed needed a host as an intermediary.
It was evident that both animals and plants retained some of the limitations of their original Species, even after mutation.
However, considering the rapid growth of the Variant Species Grizzly Bear, it seemed there was a symbiotic relationship between the parasitic plant and its host.
The parasitic plant could guide the host to more Pure Energy, enabling rapid enhancement of its strength.
As the host grew swiftly, the surging pure energy and nutrients within it were absorbed by the parasitic plant, allowing for its faster Evolution.
But Su Lin, with his Devouring Evolution, had no need for parasitic plants,
If a parasitic plant tried to latch onto him, it would likely be devoured by the overwhelming Devouring Power, leaving nothing behind.
So to other Variant Species, the Exotic Cuscuta Seed might represent a grand opportunity for rapid growth.
But to Su Lin, the overflowing essence of plants and Pure Energy within the Exotic Cuscuta Seed were merely the best fuel for his next upgrade!
At that moment, Su Lin looked at the enormous Exotic Cuscuta Seed’s main body, his deep blue Wolf Eyes filled not just with solemnity but also with an even wilder desire for battle!
“Awooo!”
Another earth-shattering Wolf Howl sounded, as Su Lin’s Wolf Howl Talent was activated once again!
He still had three opportunities to utilize his Wolf Howl Talent, aware that a single howl might not harm the Exotic Cuscuta Seed.
Therefore, he unleashed three consecutive howls, the terrifying sound waves rippling one after another towards the Exotic Cuscuta Seed!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The sounds of violent impacts resonated!
Given the speed of Su Lin’s howling sound waves, reaching a thousand kilometers per second, no creature could dodge them!
At such a short distance, the Exotic Cuscuta Seed could do nothing but emit dazzling emerald fluorescence to fend off the relentless sound waves.
With continuous bombardment, the Exotic Cuscuta Seed, despite its brilliant green luminescence, was pushed back hundreds of meters, and slight cracks began to appear on the huge Tendril’s main body.
Su Lin, without a moment’s hesitation and empowered by the Might of the Howl, charged at the Exotic Cuscuta Seed!
His sharp Wolf Claws were fully exposed, with thirty-centimeter-long Claw Spikes still stained with the Grizzly Bear’s fresh blood!
After closing the distance, Su Lin and the main body of the Exotic Cuscuta Seed engaged in intense combat!
Other branches of the Exotic Cuscuta Seed also entwined to attack Su Lin, with sounds of metal clashing ringing out frequently.
Shortly after engaging in a few exchanges, the Exotic Cuscuta Seed emitted a spiritual wave.
Su Lin, with his keen senses, captured this wave—an inkling of a desire for a truce.
