Chapter 214: Chapter 162: Slaughter of the Heroes (Part 3)_2
Thus, it was a fight with their backs to the river, win or perish!
The Variant Species Grizzly Bear, threatened by the prospect of death, was frenziedly mobilizing all its combat power to fight desperately against the White Wolf.
It never thought of defeating the White Wolf; it just didn't want to lose, it just wanted to survive!
Under an overwhelming desire to live and with its blood boiling, the Exotic Cuscuta Seed inside the Variant Species Grizzly Bear, which had fallen into a slumber since last cut by Su Lin, was now awakened.
Rustle!
Several tendrils emitting a green fluorescence fiercely extended from the back of the Variant Species Grizzly Bear!
These tendrils, sensing the host's dire situation, started attacking Su Lin in tandem with the Variant Species Grizzly Bear!
Wolf howls and bear roars intertwined under the pitch-black night sky.
Although Su Lin's Hunting Talent had faded, his speed was still incredibly fast.
Not to mention the cumbersome Variant Species Grizzly Bear, even the Variant Species Reindeer King that had just activated its main Speed Talent could barely keep up with him!
Where the sonic boom sounded, Su Lin's wolf form appeared!
His dreamlike speed, combined with the imposing aura rising from his massive wolf body, caused even the many far-off Variant Species to palpitate!
Su Lin charged quickly toward the Variant Species Grizzly Bear and slammed a heavy claw at it!
The huge sound of flesh colliding rang out.
Bang!
He and the Variant Species Grizzly Bear clashed bloodily, both had several tens of centimeters long claw spikes fiercely dueling and colliding in the chilly air!
As for the several tendrils of Exotic Cuscuta Seed, they were equally hard as iron.
Clashes with Su Lin produced sharp, piercing metallic sounds!
Although the strength of this Variant Species Grizzly Bear couldn't compare to the Variant Species Musk Ox King, it had the advantage of a flexible body and diversity in claw and fanged tooth attacks!
Paired with the several tendril branches extending from its back, the two sides were momentarily locked in a bloody stalemate!
Su Lin's speed of three to four hundred meters per second made him nearly impossible to guard against, along with his wild attacks that could reach twenty to thirty tons!
Even the Variant Species Grizzly Bear, which had activated its Defense Talent, was covered in terrifying wounds.
But Su Lin, in the midst of attacking, also received injuries from the Exotic Cuscuta Seed's multiple tendrils, either from stabs or whips.
Several not-so-large blood holes and long bloodstains appeared on his wolf body!
The wounds caused by Exotic Cuscuta Seed also retained a greenish fluorescence, which continued to wreak havoc and tear at his wounds.
Even though Su Lin had used a Recovery Potion to restore his Physical Strength to its peak and actively circulated his Healing Talent, he could only slowly neutralize this greenish glow.
This reminded him greatly of the Ice Cold Qi from the massive Ice Mountain Lotus!
In fact, after devouring many Ice Mountain Lotuses, Su Lin's every attack also contained a trace of Ice Cold Qi,
This Ice Cold Qi could likewise cause destruction at the wound site and significantly hinder healing.
However, compared to the green fluorescence on Exotic Cuscuta Seed, the Ice Cold Qi in Su Lin's attacks was far less noticeable and not as conspicuous.
But this Ice Cold Qi was truly affecting the blood-soaked wounds of the Variant Species Grizzly Bear.
Even with its Defense Talent activated, the Variant Species Grizzly Bear was struggling to suppress the deterioration of its wounds!
After several exchanges in their bloody struggle, it even felt as if its bones were going to be shattered by the White Wolf!
"Roar!"
The cries of agony and fury resounded one after another.
Faced with the horrific injuries caused by Su Lin, the Variant Species Grizzly Bear could only harden itself with its Defense Talent.
It lacked the transcendent Healing Talent for recovery and suppression of its internal injuries and couldn't possibly neutralize the rampaging Ice Cold Qi at its wounds.
So in extreme agony, it fought back against Su Lin with all its might!
Soon, a blood-red fluorescence emanated from its body once again!
This glow was indeed the Variant Species Grizzly Bear activating another one of its Talents!
Level B Blood Fury!
This level of Blood Fury Talent was the highest Su Lin had seen among all Variant Species.
The enhancements it brought were also extremely terrifying.
This Talent directly boosted the overall strength of the Variant Species Grizzly Bear by a whole seventy percent!
With such a horrifying enhancement, the Endurance and Defense of the Variant Species Grizzly Bear surpassed that of Su Lin.
Even its attack power had equalled that of Su Lin's enhanced right claw!
With the boost from its double-layered talents of defense and Blood Fury, the Variant Species Grizzly Bear seemed to burst with new vitality, clashing with Su Lin fiercely as it roared back into the fray.
"Roar!"
The Variant Species Grizzly Bear's roar was like a deep, thunderous rumble, exploding over the Arctic tundra.
The fluorescent green of the Exotic Cuscuta Seed behind it flared, with several tendrils detaching and lunging at Su Lin from multiple directions!
The powerful collisions were incessant, and the startling blood splatters bloomed spectacularly.
Su Lin had already used a Recovery Potion, and his physical strength was at its peak.
The Healing Talent was also actively stimulated, working furiously.
The large wounds pierced by the tendrils on his massive wolf body were emitting a verdant gas, healing at a terrifying rate.
The vigorous Wolf Howl resonated in every corner of the icy landscape!
This Variant Species Grizzly Bear, engaged in a fierce battle, held a terrifying combat strength that was no less formidable than that of the Variant Species Musk Ox King, especially when combined with the Exotic Cuscuta Seed,
Even with Su Lin's supersonic speed, he was momentarily engulfed in the bloody conflict!
However, while the two were locked in a bloody battle, Su Lin's Wolf Pack finally finished hunting down all of the Musk Ox Kings.
The Little Lone Wolf tore apart a young Musk Ox that had evolved into a Variant Species right there on the spot.
Bathing in the blood and entrails of the young Variant Musk Ox, it finally broke through to Level 14.
Now, the battlefield had turned into a world drenched in blood,
with the corpses of the Musk Oxen clan everywhere, the stench of blood so potent it stung the nostrils.
Over a hundred Musk Oxen were slaughtered to the point of extinction, including the young and the females, completely eradicated by the Wolf Pack.
Such a brutal battle sent chills down the spines of the other Variant Species.
Yet, the eyes of every member of the Wolf Pack were still filled with the thrill of bloodlust, and after slaughtering the Musk Oxen clan to oblivion, they all followed the Little Lone Wolf's lead and converged on the battlefield between Su Lin and the Variant Species Grizzly Bear!
But the Little Lone Wolf bathed in the Variant Musk Ox's fresh blood had not lost its reason to the bloodbath.
It knew the battleground of its Wolf King and the Variant Species Grizzly Bear was not something they could interfere with.
So it merely encircled the area, putting pressure on the Variant Species Grizzly Bear and at the same time guarding against any surprise attacks from other Hunters in this Land of Adventure!
With the keen senses of the Wolf Pack, the Little Lone Wolf also detected several extremely powerful presences nearby during the recent bloody battle.
With the morale of the Wolf Pack at its peak, along with several Variant Species in their ranks, holding off two or three Level Twenty and above Variant Species was not an issue.
If there were more, the Wolf Pack might not have the strength to cope.
Claws tore into flesh, blood and meat flew, Su Lin and the Variant Species Grizzly Bear conducted a symphony of violence on this nearly concluded battlefield, a demonstration of extreme violence as an art form!
But Su Lin possessed an otherworldly Healing Talent as his foundation, allowing even the most serious injuries to recover quickly,
As this wore down the bear, despite being devoid of the Hunting Talent, Su Lin gradually gained the upper hand!
The Blood Ignition Potion was always ready,
Su Lin wasn't just guarding against the death throes counterattack of the Variant Species Grizzly Bear, but also against the true main body of the Exotic Cuscuta Seed!
Though every Exotic Flower and Rare Herb comes with innate limitations, the extraordinary methods and pure energy they wield are mostly beyond the reach of most Variant Species.
Therefore, even as Su Lin started to gain an advantage, he remained ever vigilant!
His Wolf Eyes were filled with a cold ferocity as he fought bloodily!
....
While Su Lin led his Wolf Pack in a bloody rampage through this Land of Adventure, staining the ice field red,
in the northernmost reaches of Siberia, a group of fully armed New Human Warriors were undergoing inspection.
Behind them were many experts and scholars who had conducted extensive research on the Arctic tundra.
This group was about to begin their exploration of the Arctic region, yet the expressions in their eyes were extremely solemn.
After all, just within their knowledge, many Mutated Creatures had fled to the Arctic in recent times.
This even included an Invincible Fierce Tiger, ranked in the twenties on the danger index of Exotic Beasts.
So, embarking on an exploration into such a dangerous, signal-barren, snow-laden Arctic, optimism was far from their reach.
The greatest fear was the unknown,
once inside, they would be unable to contact the outside world again,
and their ultimate fate would be either to return safely with data on the Mutated Creatures or to be buried in the icy snow.
