Su Lin continues to grow stronger by consuming a lynx and reindeer meat, inching closer to his next evolution. During a week-long blizzard, he discovers that the lone orphan wolf, now named Xiao Hui, has developed into a powerful variant species with enhanced attributes. As the storm finally clears, Su Lin takes the obedient Xiao Hui under his wing as a subordinate. While surveying the tundra from a high vantage point, he spots the wolf pack returning through the snow with a fresh haul of food.

The safe return of Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom brought a sense of relief and joy to Su Lin’s heart.

All eight adult Arctic Wolves had successfully made it back, with not a single member of the pack missing.

They appeared to be free of any major injuries, dragging the carcasses of one full-grown moose and three calves in their powerful jaws.

It was clear that the pack's hunting expedition had been a triumph.

Their arrival had only been delayed by the fierce blizzard.

With the snowstorm finally subsiding, they had wasted no time rushing back to the den.

Wolf Mother, in particular, had pushed her physical limits to sprint home, driven by the urge to see her pups as quickly as possible.

In the world of mammals, such maternal affection has always been a powerful force.

“Ao!”

Su Lin trotted forward to greet the Wolf Mother ahead of the others.

She responded by licking Su Lin with deep affection.

Noticing that Su Lin had once again increased in size, her heart was filled with immense pride and joy.

She then dropped a recently born moose calf in front of Su Lin.

Su Lin let out a low howl, indicating that this tender, easily digestible meat should be given to the Wolf Sister instead.

This display of maturity and consideration moved the Wolf Mother so much that she couldn't help but lick him once more.

While Su Lin felt a bit of internal resistance toward such doting gestures, his instinctual wolf body fortunately didn't reject the affection.

Shortly after Su Lin escorted the Wolf Mother back into the depths of the cave,

The Cousin, Wolf Sister, and the Grey White Little Wolf all rose excitedly, swarming around her for attention.

Only Xiao Hui remained at Su Lin’s side, following him closely with small, hurried steps.

The Wolf Mother tore the moose calf open,

tossing the fresh meat to the youngsters so they could begin their meal.

The Grey White Little Wolf, who was about to dive in, suddenly stopped as if remembering something important.

It looked up toward Su Lin, waiting for his silent nod of approval before finally starting to eat.

The Wolf Mother observed this interaction but did not interfere.

In the wild, strength is the ultimate law, and it was only natural for the litter to follow Su Lin’s lead.

Looking at Su Lin, whose stature was now nearly equal to her own, the Wolf Mother marveled at his unnaturally fast growth rate.

Moments later,

Wolf Dad stepped back into the cave as well.

Having been trapped by the blizzard for days, he had been plagued by worry that the pups might have met with disaster.

Seeing that every young wolf was alive and well, he finally felt the weight of anxiety lift from his shoulders.

The intelligence of the Wolf Clan was straightforward; upon their return, Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom spent a brief moment comforting the pups before providing them with food.

They didn't seek to understand the details of how the pups had survived the past few days.

With the return of the parents, the once quiet cave transformed into a bustling hub of activity.

Some adults watched over the young, while others took turns standing guard as sentries.

The Cousin’s mother began instructing the Cousin in the fundamental techniques of stalking and hunting.

Meanwhile, as the Alpha, Wolf Dad exited the cave to patrol the perimeter, refreshing the scent markings that protected their territory.

The Wolf Mother then gestured for Su Lin to eat his fill.

Su Lin emitted a low howl and, accompanied by Xiao Hui, approached the massive moose carcass.

Species: Moose (Female, Deceased). Level: 8. Qi-Blood: 1265. Endurance: 85. Strength: 65. Defense: 53. Speed: 35.

The attributes of this moose were impressively high, far surpassing those of an Arctic reindeer.

As the largest deer species on the planet, its presence was formidable.

Its massive frame was reminiscent of a camel, possessing high shoulders that looked like a hump, which earned it its name.

Even though this was a female, her size was so great that the entire pack had to exert significant effort to haul her back.

This single carcass promised the Wolf Pack several days of bountiful feasting.

Su Lin did not hesitate, stepping forward to rip a large chunk of flesh from the neck area.

“Ding! Host consumed moose meat, obtained 5 Evolution Points.”

One single bite yielded 5 Evolution Points, causing Su Lin’s eyes to widen in surprise.

This was undoubtedly the largest amount of Evolution Points he had ever received from a single mouthful.

Even his first taste of Arctic reindeer had only provided 3 points.

Driven by this discovery, Su Lin began to feast with abandon.

As he ate, the pale grey system notifications continued to flash before his eyes.

“Ding! Host consumed moose meat, obtained 4.7 Evolution Points.” “Ding! Host consumed moose meat, obtained 4.4 Evolution Points.” “Ding! Host consumed moose meat, obtained 4.1 Evolution Points.” ...

The diminishing returns for consuming herbivores were noticeable, yet the meat itself was exceptionally high quality.

Su Lin found the moose meat to be incredibly tender and juicy.

Compared to the tough, dry flesh of the lynx, this was a delicacy.

He gulped down massive portions.

Safe within the pack's den, Su Lin didn't need to worry about a full stomach slowing him down in a fight.

He only stopped once his belly was visibly rounded and tight.

With his voracious appetite, Su Lin had consumed nearly ten kilograms of meat in a single sitting.

This quantity was unheard of for a young wolf and was enough to match the consumption of Wolf Dad himself.

This meal alone had granted Su Lin over fifty Evolution Points.

With a quick thought,

he summoned his Attribute Panel.

Name: Su Lin. Species: Arctic Wolf. Level: Level 4. (160 Evolution Points needed to level up.) Qi-Blood: 400. Endurance: 40. Strength: 40. Defense: 40. Speed: 80. Evolution Points: 125.

In just a few short days, he had gathered over a hundred points, leaving him only 35 points short of his next advancement.

This fueled Su Lin’s ambition once again.

Evolution!

Only by evolving could he grow stronger, secure better prey, and ensure his survival on the harsh Arctic Continent.

Only after Su Lin had finished his meal did Xiao Hui dare to step forward and eat.

...

Time passed quickly, and several days vanished in an instant.

Living off the moose carcasses, the Wolf Pack enjoyed a rare period of rest and recovery.

The single adult moose and three calves had lasted them until today, when the last of the meat was finally consumed.

Wolf Dad and the others had intended to hunt today, but the weather remained poor, forcing them to cancel their plans.

They remained in the cave, conserving their energy and resting.

During this time, by eating more moose meat, Su Lin had earned another thirty Evolution Points.

He was now just a few points away from reaching the next level.

This proximity to power made Su Lin restless, filling him with a desire to go out and hunt.

However, every time he tried to move toward the exit, Wolf Dad would let out a low warning howl and drive him back.

Though Su Lin knew Wolf Dad was only acting out of concern for his safety, he couldn't help but let out a frustrated sigh.
