Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom's safe return brought some joy to Su Lin's heart as well.
All eight adult Arctic Wolves had returned without missing a single one.
None of them had any significant injuries, and they dragged with their mouths one adult moose and three moose calves.
It was evident that the Wolf Pack's hunt had gone smoothly.
It was just the blizzard that had delayed their return.
Now, as soon as the snowstorm had stopped, they were eager to hurry back.
Especially the Wolf Mother, even though she exhausted her physical strength sprinting, she wanted to see her children as soon as possible.
Affection, in mammals, had always been a great thing.
"Ao!"
Su Lin went to greet the Wolf Mother in advance.
The Wolf Mother affectionately licked Su Lin.
And seeing that Su Lin had grown another size bigger brought great joy to her heart.
Next, she tossed the moose calf, which had just been born not long ago, to Su Lin.
Su Lin let out a low howl, signaling that this kind of easily digestible calf should be left for the Wolf Sister.
This sensible behavior made the Wolf Mother unable to resist extending her tongue to lick him again.
Although Su Lin had some aversion to this affectionate gesture in his heart, fortunately, as a member of the Wolf Clan, his body didn't have any adverse reaction.
Soon, after Su Lin led the Wolf Mother back to the cave,
The Cousin, Wolf Sister, and Grey White Little Wolf all got up cheerfully and crowded around the Wolf Mother.
Only Xiao Hui followed Su Lin around, pattering behind him.
After the Wolf Mother had torn the moose calf open,
she threw it to the young wolves to eat.
The Grey White Little Wolf, who had originally thought to start eating, suddenly remembered something.
It looked up at Su Lin, and only after getting his permission did it begin to eat.
The Wolf Mother noticed this but didn't express any objections.
After all, strength was respected, and it was normal for a litter of wolf pups to listen to Su Lin.
Seeing that Su Lin had grown to a size that didn't pale in comparison to hers, the Wolf Mother thought he was growing up far too quickly.
Next,
Wolf Dad also returned to the cave.
Delayed for several days by the blizzard, it was also worried that the pups might have come to harm.
Now, seeing that all the young wolf pups were safe and sound, it completely let go of its worries.
The Wolf Clan wasn't highly intelligent, and when Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom returned,
they comforted the pups for a while, then threw the food to them.
As for how the pups had fared these past few days, they didn't ask.
Once Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom had returned, the once empty cave became lively again.
Some looked after the pups, and others took up the role of sentry.
As for the Cousin's mother, she began teaching the Cousin some hunting and preying techniques.
And as the Lead Wolf, Wolf Dad went out of the cave to patrol the surrounding area and renewed the scent markings around the cave.
The Wolf Mother then signaled Su Lin to hurry up and eat.
Su Lin let out a low howl, and then, along with Xiao Hui, approached the moose carcass.
Species: Moose (Female, Deceased).
Level: 8.
Qi-Blood: 1265.
Endurance: 85.
Strength: 65.
Defense: 53.
Speed: 35.
The attribute values displayed by the moose were quite high, higher than those of the Arctic reindeer,
and it was the largest deer species in the world.
Its large stature resembled a camel, with particularly elevated shoulders, similar to the hump on a camel's back; hence the name moose.
Even as a female, this moose was quite large, and it took the entire Wolf Pack a great deal of effort just to drag it back.
With the carcass of this moose, the Wolf Pack could now feast for several meals.
At this moment, Su Lin was not shy and went up to tear off a piece of flesh from the neck.
"Ding! Host consumed moose meat, obtained 5 Evolution Points."
Just one bite was worth 5 Evolution Points, instantly lighting up Su Lin's eyes.
Without a doubt, this was the first time Su Lin had obtained so many Evolution Points at once.
Even the first bite of Arctic reindeer had only given him 3 Evolution Points.
Therefore, Su Lin also began to gorge himself.
During the meal, the pale grey message prompts for acquiring Evolution Points kept popping up incessantly.
"Ding! Host consumed moose meat, obtained 4.7 Evolution Points."
"Ding! Host consumed moose meat, obtained 4.4 Evolution Points."
"Ding! Host consumed moose meat, obtained 4.1 Evolution Points."
...
The reduction in Evolution Points obtained from herbivorous animals was significant, but the meat was very delicious.
Su Lin felt the moose meat was tender and refreshing in his mouth.
This meat was much tastier than the dry meat of the lynx.
He swallowed large bites.
In the den of the Wolf Pack, Su Lin wasn't worried that eating too much would affect his movement.
It was only when his belly became round that he stopped eating.
Su Lin had a good appetite and ate a total of about ten kilograms of meat in one go.
This amount far exceeded that of an average adult Arctic Wolf and was enough to rival Wolf Father.
The moose meat also provided Su Lin with more than fifty Evolution Points.
With a thought,
he opened his Attribute Panel.
Name: Su Lin.
Species: Arctic Wolf.
Level: Level 4. (160 Evolution Points needed to level up.)
Qi-Blood: 400.
Endurance: 40.
Strength: 40.
Defense: 40.
Speed: 80.
Evolution Points: 125.
In just a few days, he again had amassed over a hundred Evolution Points, only 35 points away from the next level up.
This filled Su Lin with motivation all over again.
Evolution!
Only through evolution could he become stronger, hunt more food, and live securely on the Arctic Continent.
It was only after Su Lin had finished eating that Xiao Hui began to eat.
...
Time flies, and several days pass by in the blink of an eye.
Feasting on the moose carcass, the Wolf Pack had a brief period of rest and recuperation these past days.
One adult moose and three juvenile moose, it was only today that they had just finished eating them.
Wolf Dad and the others had planned to go hunting today, but the weather was clearly bad, so they abandoned this idea.
They continued to gather strength and rest in the cave.
Meanwhile, after consuming more moose meat, Su Lin gained an additional thirty Evolution Points.
He was just a few points away from leveling up again.
This made Su Lin somewhat restless with the desire to go hunting.
But every time he made a slight move, he was met with a low howl from Wolf Dad and was driven back.
Although Wolf Dad's actions were out of concern, it made Su Lin couldn't help but sigh.
