Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Wolf Pack Joins Forces.
They had once suffered deep wounds from the claw spikes on a Grizzly Bear's paw during a hunt,
and even now, those wounds had not yet healed completely.
Therefore, they had a profound memory of this Grizzly Bear's scent.
Now, upon smelling this vicious and brutal Grizzly Bear, their fur bristled.
Then,
when they saw that the Grizzly Bear had become a corpse,
a look of shock appeared in their eyes.
In their minds,
this cruel and brutal Grizzly Bear was an invincible creature.
It was hard to imagine,
that it would appear before them as food.
Although they did not know how this Grizzly Bear had been hunted,
their reverence for Su Lin grew even deeper.
Because they felt that only someone as robust as Su Lin could stand a chance against a Grizzly Bear in combat.
Next,
Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom led all the young ones back to the cave.
Returning to the cave, Su Lin discovered that the Wolf Pack had added quite a few members.
Originally consisting of only eight Arctic Wolves,
the pack had expanded to twelve,
with four new Arctic Wolves having joined.
Among the four Arctic Wolves, there were two males with Level 5 Strength Attributes.
Although the newly joined members of the Wolf Clan all started off as Hai Wolves,
with more hunts and more contributions,
wolves with strength would gradually rise in rank within the pack.
"Ao!"
Wolf Dad too howled softly to introduce the new members of the pack to Su Lin.
These were all recruited from wandering Lone Wolves.
The strength of that large wolf pack to the west was very formidable,
their actions swift and fierce.
When they began expanding, they were unstoppable,
crushing many smaller wolf packs.
Those that did not get absorbed into their ranks,
were banished from their territories,
leading to a sudden increase in the number of rover Lone Wolves in the area.
Wolf Dad also took the opportunity to recruit many members of the Wolf Clan,
both to increase their strength to prevent an invasion by the large wolf pack,
and, on the other hand, Wolf Dad also had ambitions for expansion.
As the Lead Wolf,
he had an obsession with territory that ordinary wolves could not fathom.
"Ao!"
"Ao!"
...
Several new members of the Wolf Clan,
looking at Su Lin's robust wolf form, howled respectfully.
And after Wolf Dad had introduced the new pack members,
he too engaged in a low howl exchange with Su Lin.
In the howls,
it was conveyed that they wanted to form an alliance with Su Lin's pack,
not just to stand together against the large wolf pack that might come attacking,
but also indicating a willingness to ally in hunting.
Through the intermittent exchange of howls,
Su Lin learned.
It turned out that Wolf Dad's territory, just like Su Lin's, had only seen the arrival of one Musk Ox Group and one Reindeer Group, while other species were still on their migratory journey.
The Musk Ox Group on Wolf Dad's territory was much stronger than the one on Su Lin's territory,
comprising more than thirty Musk Oxen.
With such a massive Musk Ox Group,
Wolf Dad's current pack strength was simply not enough to divide the battlefield and hunt the Musk Oxen at the same time.
Another Reindeer Group,
consisted of over fifty Reindeer, including the Reindeer Leader.
Wolf Dad's howls conveyed a very strong insistence.
As for the source of food for Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom during this time,
it had been scavenging half a Seal carcass left over by a Polar Bear at the ice layer,
and had also hunted a few Arctic Rabbits as well as numerous Traveling Rats.
This was how the pack had managed to survive up until now.
And with the addition of these three hundred-plus pounds of Grizzly Bear Meat,
the pack could feast once more, sustained for another month or so.
"Ao!"
Su Lin let out a low howl in response to Wolf Father.
Agreeing to join forces.
Although,
he was not lacking in food at the moment.
But he was very willing to help Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom.
Next,
inside the cave,
the other cubs and their mother were still cuddling together.
The mother of the Grey White Little Wolf and the mother of his cousin had already recovered from their shock,
They and their cubs were licking each other's fur
Wolf Sister and Wolf Mother were no exception.
The Level 5 Wolf Mother,
now had a body size of about one meter seventy-eight, and her fur had become shinier and softer.
Wolf Mother's current strength truly matched the status of the Wolf Queen in the Wolf Pack.
After Su Lin finished communicating with Wolf Father,
he went to check on Wolf Mother.
Wolf Sister in Wolf Mother's arms was also describing to Wolf Mother how delicious Grizzly Bear Meat was.
For the Wolf Clan's palate,
the meat was tender, sticky, and rich.
It was different from the meat of large herbivores.
As for the level of deliciousness, it couldn't be said to surpass Musk Ox Meat or Reindeer Meat.
After coming over, Su Lin motioned for Xiao Hui to drag the Grizzly Bear Meat in front of Wolf Mother.
Last time, he had brought Wolf Mother delicious fish,
this time he also wanted Wolf Mother to taste the tender Grizzly Bear Meat.
Grizzly Bear Meat was certainly something Wolf Mother had never eaten before.
"Awoo!"
At that moment, Wolf Mother did not disappoint her two cubs' enthusiasm, letting out a low howl,
then lowered her head and tore off a piece of Grizzly Bear Meat.
Wolf Mother was already Level 5,
and her teeth were very sharp.
Even the frozen-solid Grizzly Bear Meat could be easily torn off.
Eating the Grizzly Bear Meat,
after chewing it a few times, her eyes lit up.
This Grizzly Bear Meat was indeed okay.
Perhaps in terms of freshness and crispness, it couldn't match that of herbivores,
but it had its own unique flavor.
The cold temperature of the Arctic Forest meant that the Grizzly Bear Meat was always in a frozen state.
Thus, the quality and flavor of the meat were perfectly preserved.
This made Wolf Mother lower her head to start eating.
She didn't hold back with the food her cubs brought,
because Wolf Mother knew very well
her cubs' current hunting capabilities.
If they could hunt down even the ferocious Grizzly Bear, would they still lack food?
As for her own Wolf Pack,
they were always living meal to meal.
"Awoo!"
After tasting the tender Grizzly Bear Meat, Wolf Mother also howled in satisfaction.
As for the rest of the Wolf Clan in the pack,
they watched Wolf Mother eating while drooling.
But fortunately,
they had eaten prey recently,
so they didn't howl crazily like the last time.
Especially when the tall Wolf Father, with his pale blue Wolf Eyes, swept over them,
the pack members all behaved very obediently, not daring to make a sound,
Wolf Father's authority in the Wolf Pack was still supreme.
Of course,
this authority was founded on Wolf Father's strength at Level 6 Peak.
Without such strength as a foundation,
there would likely have been many challengers in the pack by now.
Next,
Su Lin also called to Wolf Father to eat.
Wolf Father had never eaten Grizzly Bear Meat either, so he was also curious about it.
He came to Wolf Mother's side,
and tore off a large chunk of flesh from the Grizzly Bear Meat,
After chewing it twice in his mouth, his Wolf Eyes showed some surprise,
not expecting the flesh of the cumbersome Grizzly Bear to be quite good.
But this hefty creature,
although solitary,
was very fierce and strong,
and the Wolf Pack found it difficult to contend with.
Otherwise, under the polar night, they would also consider hunting a Grizzly Bear as stockpile provisions.
