Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf

Therefore, even a full-force strike from his strengthened right claw could only make a tiny crack.

But Su Lin did not give up.

Right now, as he was continuously running his Healing Talent to tend to his wounds, he was rapidly depleting his Physical Strength and had no time to go looking for another opening in the ice.

Therefore, with fierce determination in his eyes, after several more powerful strikes, he finally managed to shatter the ice layer, creating an opening over two meters wide!

Boom!

With a sound of the ice splitting apart in all directions, Su Lin swam up from the seawater.

Splash!

The sound of breaking through the water echoed as stream after stream of water dripped off Su Lin’s wolf body.

After climbing out, he first scanned the surroundings, realizing that he was indeed no longer in the familiar part of the ice layer.

And this place felt extremely cold; the temperature was faintly comparable to that at the bottom of the crevice in the iceberg that day.

A temperature of negative seventy to eighty degrees Celsius would make steel as brittle as glass.

But Su Lin possessed the cold resistance of the Polar Ice Worm; let alone this temperature, even if it were a hundred degrees below zero, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

“Huff! Huff!”

At this moment, he threw the tentacle he was carrying onto the ice layer and began to gasp for air.

Su Lin also stopped the Healing Talent that was consuming his Physical Strength.

As soon as he stopped, the tearing pain from his entire wolf body hit him again.

He turned to look and saw that his body was still a mess of fresh blood.

Mixed with seawater, the blood was forming into pools that dripped onto the ice layer below.

His Vitality Value was also quickly draining along with the blood.

In the frozen wasteland of the harsh Arctic, Su Lin had to recover from his injuries as much as possible.

Therefore, looking at the tentacle tip of the Giant King Squid in front of him, he began to devour it once again.

He was already on the cusp of breaking through to Level 12; just a bit more Evolution Points, and he would be able to advance officially!

At that moment, the mysterious Evolution Energy would be able to heal the injuries on his wolf body back to their original state.

Crack!

Su Lin bit down hard on the over meter-long tentacle tip; the skin and flesh of the tentacle tip still had formidable defense,

He struggled to tear off a chunk of flesh after much effort.

After eating it, he chewed for a long time, feeling like he was chewing on gummy candy, barely able to bite through it.

Ultimately, it was the overpowering Devouring Power that activated and finally digested the flesh in his mouth completely.

After digestion, that surging energy filled Su Lin’s limbs and bones.

“Ding! The host has consumed Variant Species King Squid and gained 1497 Evolution Points.”

“Ding! The host has consumed a species far beyond its own Level, gaining an additional 1500 Evolution Points.”

A faint grey message alert appeared before his eyes,

The reduction extent of this additional faint grey message was far beyond Su Lin’s imagination.

Directly reducing by 500 points in one go!

Indeed, additional things could never last.

But these nearly three thousand Evolution Points also brought Su Lin to the critical threshold for a breakthrough!

“Awooo!”

With a loud and clear howl, it echoed in the harsh Arctic sky.

That mysterious Evolution Energy descended once more.

Su Lin focused his whole mind and began to absorb this energy.

This mysterious energy, traveling through every part of Su Lin’s wolf body, felt icy and comforting.

The energy first restored the injuries on Su Lin’s body, with wisps of heat rising from his majestic wolf figure.

The terrifying wounds that had nearly torn his wolf body apart were visibly healing at a rapid pace.

Bones and internal organs that were shattered by massive force were also restored to their original state in a moment.

The speed of this mysterious energy’s healing made Su Lin feel as if he were witnessing the effects of an upgraded Healing Talent.

If he could truly attain such powerful healing abilities, then it could indeed be called an Undying Body.

Next, after his injuries were fully healed,

this mysterious energy began to nourish and strengthen every corner of his wolf body.

Su Lin’s fur became even denser.

The dense fur could also provide considerable defensive power,

and the skin on the outside became tougher, with defensive power rising to another level.

By now, Su Lin felt his defensive power could allow him to ignore smaller caliber gunfire bullets.

Shotguns, sniper rifles, machine guns, high-caliber rifles could still inflict significant damage on him.

But with speed that came without a shadow and left without a trace, even a professional soldier would have a hard time hitting him.

Powerful Sensory Power could also help him choose the best evasion route.

Following that,

Su Lin’s Wolf Claws grew another two to three centimeters, with the length of the Claw Spikes reaching over twenty centimeters, needless to say how sharp they were.

Beyond that,

fanged teeth, limbs, bones, and so on, all experienced a significant enhancement.

The four-meter wolf body grew even bigger, stretching directly to four meters forty-five centimeters,

and including the length of his tail, Su Lin’s size almost approached six meters!

Six meters!

In the Wolf Clan, this was certainly astonishing,

Even the African Elephant, known for its largest size, could hardly compare to Su Lin’s stature.

After a moment, this mysterious Evolution Energy gradually dissipated.

“`

The latest Attribute Panel appeared before his eyes.

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for advancing to Level 12!”

Name: Su Lin.

Species: Arctic Wolf.

Genetic Hierarchy: I.

Level: 12. (To level up requires 40,000 Evolution Points.)

Vitality: 3200.

Endurance: 260.

Strength: 290.

Defense: 270.

Speed: 390.

Additional Attribute Points: 30.

Evolution Points: 2850.

Talent: Hunting (C-Level) Healing (A-Level).

This time the increase in strength was enormous.

From Level 11 to Level 12, every attribute value had an extra 30 points added, even my Vitality Value increased by 300 points.

Initially, when breaking through from Level 10 to Level 11, it was supposed to be an increase of 20 points for each attribute.

It seems that after breaking through to Level 10, although the required Evolution Points to level up increased to a five-digit number, the post-level up attributes also increased a lot.

The improvement in strength with each level up in the future will be extremely significant.

Currently, Su Lin looked at the 30 extra Attribute Points and did not hesitate to add them to Speed.

This made his Speed Value reach 420 directly.

A Speed Value of 420 allowed him to nearly reach a velocity of 150 meters per second when sprinting at full speed.

After activating the Hunting Talent, he would be nearly as fast as the speed of sound!

After advancing to Level 12, all injuries on Su Lin’s wolf body healed, and his Essence, Qi, and Spirit also recovered a lot.

He raised his head and looked around, finding nothing but a vast expanse of ice, desolate and empty.

Because he did not know his bearings, Su Lin did not choose a direction to wander aimlessly.

He planned to find a cave to recuperate for a while and, after getting his bearings and figuring out where he was, find a path to leave.

With this in mind, Su Lin picked up the remaining tentacles and searched for a temporary cave to stay in.

The temperature in this area was extremely harsh,

which made him feel that even if this place was not the Pole Heart, it was not far off.

In his search, Su Lin discovered that signs of life were indeed scarce here.

Traces of Arctic Rabbits, Arctic Ducks, Seals, Walruses, and the like were almost non-existent,

and even the number of birds in the sky was few, only sparsely scattered here and there.

It was as if all birds had vanished from the thousand mountains, and all tracks of mankind had disappeared from the myriad paths.

After searching for more than an hour, Su Lin finally found an ice cave in a good geographical location.

Yes, it was an ice cave.

Located on an ice mountain that jutted out a good hundred meters or so.

The path up was also very smooth and steep,

but fortunately for Su Lin, it was not too difficult.

Clinging to about a hundred jin of tentacle flesh, he leapt seventeen or eighteen meters with a single bound.

Taking advantage of the relatively gentle terrain, it did not take long for him to climb up.

The ice cave was not too large, about the size of the one where Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom lived, and it could accommodate about twenty Arctic Wolves on a day-to-day basis without any issue.

After Su Lin entered, the cold aura inside the ice cave felt even stronger.

However, for him, it was a trifle.

The cold was no longer a major trouble for Su Lin.

Otherwise, he would definitely not choose to temporarily stay in such a cave in this temperature.

After all, excessively cold temperatures can lead to a significant loss of physical strength.

Entering the cave, he first found a corner at random and placed the Giant King Squid’s tentacles properly.

Then he lay down and began a brief period of rest and sleep.

Since this was not within his territory, Su Lin did not sleep as deeply as he usually would, opting instead for light sleep to regain some energy.

For Su Lin, who had once absorbed the genetic flesh of the Snowy Owl, even if he went several days without sleep there wouldn’t be too much fatigue.

Still, the fastest way to recover physical strength was, indeed, sleep.

In the light sleep, Su Lin kept two-tenths of his strong perception alert for danger.

And so, time passed quietly during his sleep.

…

It was at this time,

that Xiao Hui and Xiao Bai, who had already dragged back the bodies of three seals to their cave, grew concerned upon seeing that their leader still had not returned,

and came down from their cave, heading out onto the ice again.

Xiao Hui, with the strength of a Level 6 Mid-stage, could dominate any hunter in an area where, as long as Polar Bears were not encountered.

So, there was no concern for safety.

Especially since this time, he had the support of his Cousin, leading six Wolfesses with him.

When the Wolf Pack arrived back at the mouth of the ice again, Xiao Hui was sniffing around the mouth of the ice but could not detect any fresh scent from their leader.

At first, he thought it was normal for their all-powerful leader to go hunting fish in the sea.

But now that almost ten hours had gone by without any signs, Xiao Hui started to panic, for as the Wolf King of the pack, Su Lin was of paramount importance.

Being one of the earliest members of the Wolf Clan, he was seen as an invincible belief in the hearts of the others.

If something truly befell their leader, and considering that Little Lone Wolf was leading most of the Wolf Clan on conquests outside,

Xiao Hui didn’t dare to imagine what could happen.

After all, might makes right within the Wolf Clan, and in the absence of the Wolf King, to survive they would only have the option to choose the strongest among them as the new Wolf King!

At this time, Cousin also came to her senses. She looked at the mouth of the ice and then at Xiao Hui, her teeth itching with anger.

She hadn’t expected Su Lin to jump into the sea,

in her mind, wolves lived on land, wasn’t jumping into the sea just asking for trouble?

But the fact that Xiao Hui and Xiao Bai, who had followed out, took so long to return and then come to check — that really angered Cousin.

She couldn’t help but bite Xiao Hui’s neck and skin severely a few times.

Although Cousin was nowhere near a match for Xiao Hui, being a Variant Species, Xiao Hui didn’t dare show any dissatisfaction towards Cousin and could only whine and apologize with low howls.

After all, Cousin and Wolf Sister were both of utmost importance in the eyes of their leader.

Even if Cousin reproached him, he dared not retaliate.

As for Xiao Bai, after waiting at the mouth of the ice for a while, he dived in, prepared to enter the sea to search for their leader.
