Chapter 222: Chapter 165 Cleaning up the Battlefield, Searching for the Dissolving Cave._2
As a member of the Wolf Clan, there were hardly any weaknesses to speak of.
If it grew to the same level, it wouldn’t be like slaughtering Variant Species Grizzly Bears and Variant Species Musk Ox Kings as easily as butchering pigs and dogs, but at least it wouldn’t be a bitter battle.
Among equals, only the feline species could match the Wolf Clan.
After all, each feline was a born Hunter, and at the same level, they rarely met any match.
However, Su Lin did not agree with the choice of the Exotic Cuscuta Seed.
Little Lone Wolf was his most capable assistant, and he didn’t want an entity inside Little Lone Wolf that could induce its consciousness.
After Su Lin rejected the first host body, the Exotic Cuscuta Seed then turned its gaze to Warm Bear!
Warm Bear had mutated by devouring about twenty pounds of Variant Species Flesh, so its growth potential was also quite good.
Otherwise, if it had ordinary potential like his cousin, forcibly turning a grizzly bear into a Variant Species would need more than twenty pounds of Variant Species Flesh.
So the potential of Warm Bear was not bad.
As for why it didn’t evolve into a Variant Species immediately after the great changes in the world,
It was probably because of its nature. Normally, it merely subsisted on eating some tubers and mosses in its territory.
It lacked sufficient energy intake, which suppressed its Evolution and growth.
Faced with the choice of the Exotic Cuscuta Seed, Su Lin remained silent for a moment before agreeing.
After all, parasitic plants were an adventure for ordinary Variant Species.
Both parties could achieve rapid growth.
“Awoo!”
After Su Lin agreed, he let out a low howl to signal Warm Bear to come forward.
During its time with the Wolf Pack, Warm Bear had also come to understand some of the meanings behind Wolf howls.
Quietly, it walked forward, waiting for the arrangement of the Wolf King.
After a short wait, the Exotic Cuscuta Seed began the process of parasitizing inside Warm Bear.
Under Su Lin’s watchful eye, the parasitism process was as gentle as possible.
Still, the pain brought by flesh fusing made the massive Warm Bear, over three meters tall, instantly collapse in agony.
“Roar!”
The intense pain originated from its spine!
At first, it roared desperately, trying to release the pain through its howls, but soon it could no longer roar.
The immense pain from flesh fusing made even roaring a luxury, and soon it lay shivering on the ground.
Fortunately, the dense, emerald green fluorescence covered Warm Bear’s body,
the green light not only sustained its life but also helped suppress the pain.
This emerald green fluorescence was evidently the Essence of Plants from the Exotic Cuscuta Seed. this essence was helping its host slowly merge into Warm Bear’s back, then onto the spine.
In the process of parasitism, fresh blood oozed from Warm Bear’s back, and although it could not roar any longer, the trembling of its bear’s body became even more intense.
It was clear that even the gentlest methods could not contain the extreme pain.
After all, for both Bear Clan and Wolf Clan, the spine is the most important skeleton, and the pain that comes with the live integration of a plant there is unimaginable.
But all of this was a necessary path, Su Lin’s gaze not wavering one bit.
In this world, obtaining great Strength and an outstanding future always required enduring pain beyond what Ordinary Species could bear.
If Warm Bear couldn’t withstand it, it simply meant it wasn’t fortunate enough.
This was not Su Lin being cold-blooded, but rather, the blood-soaked reality of nature!
In the harsh Arctic Tundra, many Species struggle with all their might just to survive.
Let alone trying to live better and gain more powerful Strength, it is impossible to do so without paying some price.
Hum!
As the emerald green fluorescence trembled slightly, more fresh blood seeped from the Variant Species Grizzly Bear’s back, intensifying the pain,
not only from the back but despite the suppression of the green fluorescence, the Variant Species Grizzly Bear was in so much pain that it’s eyes were wide open, filled with blood vessels, and it was panting heavily.
However, Warm Bear had to bear this pain alone. Su Lin only watched for a moment before turning away.
Then, Su Lin let out a low howl to signal Little Lone Wolf and Xiao Hui to go search for Ice Caves and Dissolving Caves where the Wolf Pack could stay long-term.
In the bone-chilling Arctic Tundra, the biting cold winds occasionally swept through.
Su Lin and his Variant Species weren’t bothered, but the Ordinary Species of the Wolf Pack couldn’t withstand such cold.
A cave to shield from the wind would offer them much relief.
“Awoo!”
“Awoo!”
….
Little Lone Wolf and Xiao Hui, both closest to Su Lin, acknowledged his command with repeated low howls.
Meanwhile, Su Lin began leading the Wolf Pack to transport the numerous Reindeer carcasses from the outskirts of the Land of Adventure.
More than two hundred Reindeer carcasses were transported by the Wolf Pack back and forth for at least several hours before they were brought alongside the Musk Ox carcasses.
The bodies of hundreds of large Herbivore Species, piled up together, felt almost mountainous.
The Wolf Pack, looking at the mountainous pile of carcasses, had eyes filled with excitement and eagerness,
because this pile meant abundant food and that for a long time to come, their survival pressure would be greatly reduced.
During these hours, Little Lone Wolf and Xiao Hui each came back one after another.
They had found an Ice Cave and a Dissolving Cave, respectively.
