Chapter 248: Chapter 176: Choice of Life and Death._2
Having evolved into a Variant Species, the intelligent Arctic Silver Fox knew that the White Wolf was offering it a choice.
A choice of life or death.
Eventually, the Arctic Silver Fox fell silent for a long while, ultimately unable to resist the survival instinct ingrained in its genes, and uncontrollably, tears began to spill from the corners of its eyes.
Whether these tears were of sorrow or fear, even it did not know.
But tears are the best way to vent extreme pain.
After shedding tears, the Arctic Silver Fox seemed to lose all its strength and could no longer hold itself up.
It collapsed weakly onto the ice in front of the White Wolf.
"Whimper! Whimper! Whimper!"
The heart-wrenching wails of the collapsed Arctic Silver Fox resonated through the chilling region.
After continuing to cry out for a long time, the Arctic Silver Fox finally came to grips with reality,
They had lost, defeated by the indomitable Wolf King before them!
In the future Land of Adventure, there would no longer be an aloof Arctic Silver Fox clan!
It could not overcome the most potent survival desire of its genetic instinct, nor did it wish for the true extinction of the Arctic Silver Fox clan!
Because every species wants to reproduce and survive,
in the cold Arctic, only those who are alive have a future.
Thus, amidst its sorrow, the Arctic Silver Fox finally bowed its proud head and lay prostrate before the White Wolf.
At that moment, Su Lin, observing the Arctic Silver Fox kneeling and lying prostrate before him, keenly sensed the fluctuations in the fox\'s spirit.
The Arctic Silver Fox had indeed submitted, for its belief had been completely shattered.
To survive and for the genetic legacy of the Arctic Silver Fox to carry on, there was no second path other than submitting to the Wolf Pack.
Su Lin accepted the submission.
As for whether the Arctic Silver Fox would rebel? He believed time would prove everything.
In reality, any species that lives in the brutal wilderness is already accustomed to the comings and goings, the life and death of comrades.
This is a place without laws, without moral constraints, governed only by the law of the jungle.
Here, bloody and brutal hunts occur all the time.
The reduction and casualties within a clan have long become a part of their lives.
Su Lin took in the Arctic Silver Fox, but if it still harbored other intentions, being slain by its kin on the not-so-distant Blood Soaked Ice Field would be its future fate.
After accepting the submission of the Arctic Silver Fox, Su Lin let out a low howl to signal the Wolf Pack to begin cleaning up the battlefield.
Then he leaped up to a high snow-covered slope, looking out over the separate battlefields of Little Lone Wolf and his cousin.
Su Lin\'s vision, after multiple evolutions, had long surpassed that of Variant Species Snowy Owls,
When he pushed his vision to its limit, he could take in scenes from hundreds of kilometers away.
However, such extreme use of his vision would cause his eyes to feel sore after a while.
Because the battlefield of Little Lone Wolf was the farthest, Su Lin could only dimly make out the many wolf figures, resembling tiny black dots, launching attacks in orderly waves.
As for Little Lone Wolf and the Variant Species Traveling Rat, they were enveloped in tumultuous snow and surrounded by many wolves, making it hard to see clearly.
But judging from the orderly attacks by the Wolf Pack, there seemed to be no issues with the hunt.
Su Lin was confident in Little Lone Wolf\'s combat strength.
Last time, when Little Lone Wolf was at level thirteen, it could coordinate with the Wolf Pack to hunt down a Variant Species Polar Bear over level twenty-something, and now both Little Lone Wolf and his Wolf Pack had greatly surpassed their previous selves!
Taking down a mere Variant Species Traveling Rat was no problem at all.
On the other hand, his cousin\'s side was also making rapid progress.
He even saw more than two hundred wolves from the pack, many of the Variant Species simply laying down in submission.
After all, half a month earlier, they had already witnessed the ferocious combat power of the Wolf Pack.
As Variant Species who had not even reached level ten in the Land of Adventure, naturally they would not contemplate resisting the Wolf Pack.
Only a very few rebellious Variant Species died under the surrounded assault of the Wolf Pack.
Seeing that both his cousin and Little Lone Wolf\'s battles were progressing well, Su Lin nodded in satisfaction.
The Wolf Pack had gradually started to get back on track.
Such a wolf pack was the very foundation of Su Lin\'s future conquest of the entire Arctic Tundra!
However, compared to the vastness of the Arctic Tundra, the number of wolves was still too small.
Now that the Land of Adventure had been united, it was time to push forward with the expansion of the wolf pack!
As Su Lin pondered, he stretched his immense wolf body on the slope of the snow.
"Awoooo!"
He then let out a long howl and summoned Xiao Hui, Xiao Bai, Warm Bear, and White Bear to his side.
He was feeling very full at the moment, relying solely on his strong will and spiritual power to suppress the discomfort in his body.
But Su Lin didn\'t want to see the essence of the talents in the variant species\' prime parts go to waste,
so he gathered the four of them and awarded each a prime part from the Variant Species of Falcon.
Apart from the Variant Species Peregrine Falcon, there were exactly four Variant Species Flying Creatures slain in this battle.
The one awarded to Xiao Hui was the strongest among them.
It was a Variant Species Snowy Owl of Level 19, and the prime part was none other than the liver.
Even excluding the Talent Essence, the pure energy alone was enough for Xiao Hui, who was already at the peak of Level 12, to make his breakthrough.
Xiao Hui was among the earliest members to follow Su Lin, and even in terms of becoming a variant species, he was before Little Lone Wolf.
Therefore, it was only natural for Su Lin to take extra care of him.
After the Variant Species Snowy Owl was gutted, Xiao Hui, smelling the faintly fluorescent essence, couldn\'t help but salivate.
The essence of a variant species was enticing in smell, and the flavor and concentrated energy it contained were far superior to other parts of the meat.
Watching Xiao Hui drool incessantly, looking undignified,
Su Lin gestured for him to swallow the liver.
This made Xiao Hui excitedly howl lowly before devouring it voraciously.
As for Xiao Bai, Warm Bear, and White Bear, only after receiving a nod from Su Lin, did they tear apart the remaining three Variant Species to search for their essential parts.
The essential parts were easy to find, each emitting a faint fluorescence.
Even though they had never eaten this before, they quickly found it.
The sheer amount of pure energy and the attractive aroma in the essence part made them realize it was definitely exquisite food.
Only after looking up again for confirmation from Su Lin did they carefully tear off the essence part and begin to eat.
None of them dared to emulate Xiao Hui and eat directly from the corpses of the Variant Species Flying Creatures.
After all, Xiao Hui was an elder of the Wolf Pack and was a personal guard of the Wolf King, considered one of the Wolf King\'s most trusted beings.
While eating in front of the Wolf King, they all tried to desecrate the bodies of these Variant Species Flying Creatures as little as possible.
Because after evolving into variant species, they understood even more what hierarchy meant!
Following the Wolf King, these recent times had been the least worrisome days for food they had ever had.
With food and the strong sense of security brought by the gathering of many from the Wolf and Bear Clans, they had long developed an unshakable sense of belonging to the Wolf Pack.
For the invincible Wolf King, they felt genuine respect and fervor from the bottom of their hearts.
The Wolf King was their faith! He was the god of their spiritual world, so how could they dare show any disrespect?
Even when eating discreetly on the side, the Variant Species were still very restrained.
Fortunately, the Wolf King only watched them for a moment before turning and heading towards the corpses of several Arctic Silver Foxes!
Actually, Su Lin had wanted to see if Xiao Hui, Xiao Bai, and the others would have their talents improved after eating the essence parts,
but seeing how restrained they were, he lost interest in watching.
In order to quickly consume the pure energy within his body, Su Lin actively operated his Healing Talent.
Already advanced to top level, his Healing Talent, which was immune to all poisons, now blazed like a fierce fire when actively used, making Su Lin\'s wolf body seem enflamed!
The wounds that Su Lin\'s wolf body had suffered in a desperate battle against the Arctic Silver Fox and Variant Species Peregrine Falcon were healing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Many ordinary wolves cleaning up the battleground felt a warm sensatio when passing by the Wolf King.
