Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf

In the cave now.

Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom were in deep sleep, recuperating their physical strength.

The nearly 500-pound carcass of the musk ox, after days of feasting, was almost gone.

Su Lin got up, approaching the also soundly sleeping Xiao Hui.

Xiao Hui was sleeping soundly, nesting against the Grey White Little Wolf.

And the Grey White Little Wolf\'s mother didn\'t take issue with Xiao Hui, simply sleeping beside them.

With a thought, Su Lin injected a Potential Potion into Xiao Hui\'s body.

Xiao Hui, who had been sleeping so sweetly he was drooling, seemed to sense something.

All four of his wolf paws started to grab at the air in a drowsy haze, even whimpering in his sleep.

Smack!

This caused Su Lin to stretch out a wolf claw, slapping Xiao Hui\'s face with his paw.

"Ow, ow!"

Xiao Hui woke up suddenly.

Opening his sleepy eyes, he saw his pack leader standing before him,

Not knowing what had happened, he began to whine plaintively.

But Su Lin said nothing and then moved toward Wolf Sister.

Similarly, he injected Wolf Sister with a Potential Potion,

But Wolf Sister was still sleeping sweetly in Wolf Mom\'s embrace, completely unaware of anything.

In her sleep, she still burrowed into Wolf Mom\'s embrace, as if dreaming of the days when she was a suckling cub.

Next was Cousin.

Cousin also had no idea, simply lying quietly asleep in the cave.

This went to show that Xiao Hui, as a Variant Species, had quite keen senses.

"Ow!"

Su Lin gave a low howl to Xiao Hui, signaling him to stop making noise.

Xiao Hui reluctantly closed his mouth,

Although often not understanding his leader\'s actions, he was very obedient.

He was about to lie down and continue sleeping.

But seeing the Grey White Little Wolf sleeping so sweetly next to him and being rudely awakened by his leader,

He felt very indignant.

Hmph!

You, a little pillow, sleeping so soundly?

With a swipe of his paw, Xiao Hui slapped the Grey White Little Wolf on the head.

Xiao Hui, now Level 3, was about the size of a regular Level 4 Arctic wolf.

With this paw swipe, the Level 1 Grey White Little Wolf became disoriented.

He couldn\'t even let out a howl.

Seeing the Grey White Little Wolf he had awoken taking a while to regain its senses, Xiao Hui felt a bit more balanced inside.

He continued to use the Grey White Little Wolf as a pillow and fell back asleep.

The Grey White Little Wolf was very confused, not knowing what had just happened.

The next day,

Xiao Hui, Cousin, and Wolf Sister all slept longer than usual.

When they woke up,

Upon Su Lin\'s cue, Wolf Sister and Cousin ate the remaining musk ox meat.

Xiao Hui\'s fur had become shinier, and his already cat-like robust limbs had become even bulkier.

The changes in Wolf Sister and Cousin weren\'t as noticeable, except for an increase in their food intake.

"Ow!"

Su Lin howled softly.

Xiao Hui instantly followed eagerly.

He led Xiao Hui out of the cave to go hunting.

Typically, the effects of the Potential Potion would last three days.

Xiao Hui being a Variant Species with great potential, showed changes on the first day.

It was estimated that Wolf Sister and Cousin\'s unlocked potential would become apparent in three days.

During this period, increased activity and food consumption would help develop their latent abilities further.

Therefore, during this hunt, Su Lin didn\'t exert himself much.

Xiao Hui was left to play the leading role.

Since his elevation to Level 3, Xiao Hui as a Variant Species started showing his true potential.

In terms of endurance, speed, strength, and impact resistance, he was all a bit stronger than typical Arctic wolves.

Even his capacity to learn and intelligence were much greater.

Little Gray followed Su Lin out a few times and, through trial and error, had already mastered some hunting skills.

The two wolves were quick to search for food outside.

Soon, not far from the cave in a land of ice and snow, they found a nest of Traveling Rats.

In the Arctic Continent, the Traveling Rat is a very common animal.

Its body is oval-shaped, with short limbs, about the same size as a common house rat.

The largest in this nest of Traveling Rats was only about seventeen to eighteen centimeters.

They have thick, short tails and tiny ears, with their eyes sparkling with a lively gleam,

each providing not much meat.

But now, as the polar night approached and food was scarce,

finding a nest of several dozen Traveling Rats to hunt was considered a significant amount of food.

After getting approval from Su Lin, Little Gray concealed his body in the bushes and approached the nest of Traveling Rats.

Su Lin also casually glanced at the stats of the Traveling Rats.

Species: Traveling Rat (Male)

Level: First Level.

Qi-Blood: 125.

Endurance: 12.

Strength: 11.

Defense: 9.

Speed: 16.

This was the strongest in the nest of Traveling Rats.

But it was only First Level.

And many of the Traveling Rats were only Level 0.

The Traveling Rat, also a mammal, simply had an extremely strong reproductive ability.

Therefore, when food was scarce, many hunters would include Traveling Rats in their diet.

Even the Polar Bear, considered the supreme overlord of the Arctic Continent, would hunt and eat Traveling Rats.

The Traveling Rats were very weak,

and any hunter who spotted them could surely kill a few.

Now, as Little Gray approached, a bloody massacre ensued.

Little Gray\'s speed, nearing 40, far exceeded that of the Traveling Rats.

He pounced quickly.

In the midst of the pounce, his forelimbs revealed sharp Wolf Claws,

and he first went straight for the largest of the Traveling Rats, killing it on the spot with a swipe of his claw.

Then, his Wolf Claw became like a deadly scythe harvesting the lives of the Traveling Rats.

With rapid speed, he struck and killed, and within just half a minute, seven or eight Traveling Rats had died by Little Gray\'s hand.

He had also eaten two of them.

The remaining forty or fifty Traveling Rats began to scatter and flee.

Traveling Rats, a species with tremendous numbers, relied on their quantity to continue the survival of their race.

Little Gray began using his own speed to chase after the scattered, fleeing Traveling Rats.

A fierce chase ensued for a good ten minutes.

Little Gray pursued them to a distance of over three kilometers.

In the end, with his mouth still bloody, Little Gray returned with two or three Traveling Rats.

"Ao!"

Little Gray excitedly howled at Su Lin.

This was its first hunt, and it had managed to catch food.

Even if it was only Traveling Rats, he was very happy.

While howling, he also invited his boss to eat.

In Little Gray\'s eyes, regardless of whether or not the food was hunted by the boss, the boss had the first right to enjoy it.

Of course, the Traveling Rats he ate during the hunt didn\'t count.

Su Lin walked over, looked at the dozen or so Traveling Rat corpses scattered on the snowy ground, and patted Little Gray\'s head with his paw.

This time without force, it was a caress.

Little Gray possessed intelligence far surpassing that of the average Wolf Clan, which made it even happier about the caress from its boss.

"Ao ao!"

He howled excitedly.

Su Lin swallowed several Traveling Rats, gaining some Evolution Points in the process.

"Ding! Host has eaten Traveling Rat, gained 1.2 Evolution Points."

"Ding! Host has eaten Traveling Rat, gained 1 Evolution Point."

"Ding! Host has eaten Traveling Rat, gained 0.8 Evolution Points."

...

After a few Traveling Rats were consumed, the Evolution Points quickly diminished to 0.1.
