Chapter 62: Chapter 62 Attack the Musk Ox Group.
In the pitch darkness of the night, time slipped away quietly.
…
In the following days,
the life of the wolf pack, as always, was leisurely and peaceful.
The two she-wolves that had been brought in also came to the cave daily, reporting on the patrol status of the territory.
This territory, because of the two grizzly bears in the beginning,
despite the arrival of the warm season,
not many hunters dared to violate this place.
As time passed,
the night skies above the Arctic gradually faded away,
and the duration of daylight increased from a hint of dawn to much longer.
Many species also migrated back.
In Su Lin’s hunting territory, a group of seven or eight musk oxen, a group of over twenty reindeer, and various scattered birds had migrated back.
This region, some distance from the ice layer, could reach around zero degrees during the warm season.
Plants such as shrubs and moss were not lacking.
Therefore, other species would continue to migrate back in the future.
Having these prey meant the future life of the wolf pack would get increasingly better.
Besides,
the strength of the wolf pack was also steadily increasing.
Cousin had successfully advanced to Level 4,
her size growing more extensive, reaching about one and a half meters.
She had the strength of an adult female Arctic Wolf,
but fighting was not Cousin’s forte,
the Potential Potion had developed Cousin’s hearing,
she could hear any disturbance in advance,
which was very useful as a cave sentinel.
Xiao Hui was also steadily progressing towards Level 5.
As for Wolf Sister and Grey White Little Wolf, the two cubs’ progression remained steady yet unremarkable.
But in the cave, they were the ones who played the most boisterously.
They brought a bit of liveliness to the wolf pack.
Meanwhile, Little Lone Wolf,
during this period, had recovered from his injuries very quickly.
With an abundant supply of food,
Little Lone Wolf’s strength had mostly returned, and his coat began to show the luster it should have.
After consuming a significant amount of food, like Xiao Hui,
Little Lone Wolf had undergone a variant transformation.
The fur on his wolf body became fluffier and silkier with a grey-purple hue.
His limbs became more robust, and his fanged teeth and wolf claws sharper.
When Su Lin looked at Little Lone Wolf again,
his Numerical Attributes appeared before his eyes.
Species: Arctic Wolf (Variant Species)
Level: 3.
Qi-Blood: 435.
Endurance: 41.
Strength: 42.
Defense: 37.
Speed: 40.
Little Lone Wolf’s attributes had become much stronger.
Variant Species!
This made Su Lin somewhat delighted.
The combat power and growth potential of a Variant Species were very strong.
When he first brought Little Lone Wolf back,
he wondered why such a small wolf had such tenacious vitality?
It turned out to be a Variant Species that had not developed due to lack of food.
With plenty of food,
the strength immediately experienced a radical transformation.
Now, Little Lone Wolf’s already decent intelligence, after evolving into a Variant Species, had improved quite a bit.
But it respected Su Lin even more.
Only with greater knowledge could it comprehend the terrifying strength of the magnificent White Wolf before its eyes.
Also, the fact that the wolf pack had taken it in and shared so much food with it touched its heart deeply.
Even with the wolf pack where Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom resided,
it could only eat leftovers and was always in a state of hunger.
Even under the polar night,
to fill its belly, the wolf pack had set its sights on it.
Contrasted with its past experience,
Little Lone Wolf already felt a strong sense of belonging to the new wolf pack.
“Ao!”
Standing at the cave entrance, Su Lin, unaware of what was going through Little Lone Wolf’s mind,
looked out at the brightening sky and let out a long howl.
He decided to take the wolf pack out for their first hunt after the eternal night began!
And to test the combat strength of the little lone wolf as well.
Upon hearing Su Lin’s long howl,
Xiao Hui promptly got up,
the scattered wounds on its body had already healed.
As for going out to hunt, it was always extremely eager.
Xiao Hui trotted behind Su Lin,
and the little lone wolf followed suit.
Next,
Su Lin led the two of them out of the cave.
Stepping out of the cave,
when they passed through the territory, two wolfesses caught Su Lin’s scent and also came over.
The warm season had arrived,
and the wolfesses had begun to go into heat,
flirting with the tall and strong Su Lin.
But they didn’t dare to approach,
as Su Lin’s fierce and ferocious image from half a month ago was still vivid in their minds.
They only flirted by wagging their tails near Su Lin.
Su Lin glanced at the two wolfesses with his pale blue wolf eyes, and then shifted his gaze away.
Animals in heat,
their beastly instincts are very impulsive, and their rationality is at an extremely low level.
He did not bother to teach them a lesson.
But this time the purpose of going out was to pick a mature male musk ox from the musk ox group for hunting!
Mature male musk oxen are not easy to hunt,
and since these two wolfesses were experienced in coordinating hunting, he decided to keep them.
Before long,
Su Lin led a group of four Arctic wolves to the area where the musk ox group was located.
Now seven or eight musk oxen were nibbling on the bushes and moss.
Su Lin stood on a high slope and observed the musk ox group for a few moments.
He noticed that the overall strength of this musk ox group was not weak,
there were three mature males,
two of them at Level 8, and the leader of the males even reached Level 9 strength.
The remaining five musk oxen consisted of three females and calves.
However, even the female musk oxen posed a significant threat to the wolf pack.
After all, adult female musk oxen also had Level 6 or Level 7 strength.
With such strength,
even grizzly bears would keep their distance.
But the wolf pack did not retreat,
as they were already accustomed to hunting large prey.
Xiao Hui, little lone wolf, and the two wolfesses formed the common hunting formation used by the wolf pack.
Several wolf howls,
sounded from different positions around the musk ox group.
“Awooo!”
“Awooo!”
“Awooo!”
…
The resonant howls of wolves echoed through the icy, snowy skies.
This caused a brief period of panic within the musk ox group.
But soon,
they formed a circle.
The three mature male musk oxen faced outward with their sharp horns,
and there was not a trace of fear in their eyes against the wolf pack.
The musk ox group was undoubtedly a difficult large prey to hunt.
They dared to show their sharpest horns to the hunters.
When they encountered danger, they never ran away, only forming a defensive formation to confront the threat.
Even the wolf pack led by Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom,
would only clash with the musk ox group in a life-or-death battle when food was extremely scarce.
But today,
Xiao Hui, little lone wolf, and even the two wolfesses showed no fear or timidity in their eyes.
Especially Xiao Hui,
who had once witnessed the Divine Might of the pack leader single-handedly hunting a musk ox,
was now eager to try its luck against the musk ox group.
And standing on the high slope, Su Lin, with his pale blue wolf eyes, swept over the field,
keeping an eye on every move between the wolf pack and the musk ox group.
At this moment, the musk ox group did not take this small pack of wolves seriously,
because they had sharp horns and robust bodies, not something this little wolf pack could hope to hunt.
But what the musk ox group didn’t know,
from atop the high slope,
was that a magnificent White Wolf, well over two meters long, was looking down upon them from a superior vantage point.
