Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf

Apart from Red-tailed, Charm Fox, Fox Wolf, and the Arctic Tern, other minor members such as Xiao Hui, Night Hawk, Wolf Sister, Ferocious Falcon, Ice Bear, Xiao Bai, and Warm Bear all had some level of strength increase.

The Ice Bear had broken through to Level 24, taking over a year to advance by two levels, a rate much slower compared to Red-tailed and Little Lone Wolf.

The strength of the Ice Bear has completely fallen out of the top echelon of the Wolf Pack, and to this day, it still only possesses the Talents of Defense and Blood Fury.

Xiao Hui's strength has also finally broken through to Level 20 after this lengthy period of time.

As a Variant Species from before the great changes of the world, Xiao Hui's potential was said to be no less than that of any other species,

but his nature was too simple, lacking the fierceness and aggression of Little Lone Wolf that says, "I am unrivaled."

Even after experiencing numerous bloody slaughters, he remained the same.

Without such a character and dogged, persistent determination, it's natural that he would fall far behind Little Lone Wolf in breaking free from the Genetic Shackles.

Therefore, for Xiao Hui, Su Lin had come to terms with it; as long as he followed by his side as the commander of the Imperial Guard Wolf Tribe.

Compared to Xiao Hui, Night Hawk had weaker growth potential but did not lack aggression and ferocity,

and had also broken through to the late stages of Level 19 in this period, not far from reaching Level 20.

Xiao Bai, Wolf Sister, and Ferocious Falcon had all reached the mid to late stages of Level 18.

Additionally, a pleasant surprise for Su Lin was Warm Bear!

Warm Bear was parasitized by the Exotic Cuscuta Seed, and Su Lin's keen senses had detected that the Exotic Cuscuta Seed had also recently completed another evolution, advancing to a New Species.

Its strength reached Level 35.

A New Species at Level 35 showed that the Exotic Cuscuta Seed, both in genetic potential and strength, was more formidable than the Arctic Tern.

If the Exotic Cuscuta Seed came out of Warm Bear, only Su Lin and Invincible Fierce Tiger in the entire Wolf Pack would be able to suppress it.

Warm Bear also received many blessings from the Exotic Cuscuta Seed's advancement to a New Species.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

During this time, Warm Bear leaped several levels at once, reaching Level 23, and also awakened a new Talent, Interruption.

This Talent is also very powerful; Interruption can directly halt the opponent's attack actions momentarily.

The stronger the opponent, the shorter the duration it can halt; conversely, it can last longer against weaker opponents.

Su Lin had Warm Bear use this Talent on him, but it could only halt Su Lin's actions for an almost negligible amount of time, measurable in milliseconds. Explore stories on empire

However, such a Talent could still be very useful in skirmishes among same-level Variant Species.

Furthermore, after evolving into a New Species, the Exotic Cuscuta Seed once again split off three new tendrils as a repayment to the Wolf Pack.

After all, when the Exotic Cuscuta Seed first parasitized Warm Bear, it had promised to give a tendril branch to the Wolf Pack as a token of gratitude for its sustenance every once in a while.

The three Exotic Cuscuta Seed Grass Branches, each several meters long, became exclusive food for Su Lin.

Now the Black Square Seal Fragments, tendril branches of the newly evolved Exotic Cuscuta Seed, the flesh of the Mad Thunder Skyhawk, and the flesh of the Variant Species Killer Whale were all capable of providing him with a massive boost to his Evolution Points.

During this time, Su Lin's Evolution Points were also rapidly accumulating.

In addition to Su Lin and the other top-ranked Variant Species within the Wolf Pack gaining some improvement,

the entire Wolf Pack was also undergoing a rapid surge once again, with another large-scale reward of Variant Species Flesh.

Many members, from various sections of the Wolf Pack, had long been salivating over Variant Species Flesh,

since there had not been any large-scale battles or distribution of Variant Species Flesh for nearly half a year.

This feast not only assuaged their cravings but led to many members achieving explosive breakthroughs, evolving into Variant Species.

Every day, almost every section of the Wolf Pack was witnessing the birth of new Variant Species.

Even the Bear Clan, which had the most difficulty advancing to Variant Species, had added three new Variant Species Polar Bears after several rounds of feasting on Variant Species Flesh.

The Arctic Fox Tribe added two new little Arctic Silver Foxes.

The new Variant Species added by the rest of the Wolf Pack numbered in the hundreds.

The increase in Variant Species further augmented the power and influence of each section of the Wolf Pack.

By now, as the strength of the Wolf Pack was sky-rocketing and the defensive palaces and fortifications were completed one after another, the negotiation Su Lin had heard about over a month ago finally arrived!

The moment those coming to negotiate set foot in the Arctic, the monitoring Flying Bird Tribe sent back the message.

The negotiators were temporarily stationed at the Arctic Borderline, waiting.

According to the information passed back by the Flying Bird Tribe, those coming to negotiate were very composed.

Upon seeing the Wolf Pack's various defensive structures and being surveilled from afar by the Arctic Foxes and Flying Birds, they stopped advancing.

They dispatched experts in animal movements and language to hand over documents to one of the Variant Species Flying Creatures, conveying their desire to negotiate peace with the Wolf King!

The documents also clearly stated their identity and detailed intentions, with a tone of sincerity throughout.

But Su Lin did not go himself.

Instead, he instructed Sander and Vincent to handle the negotiations as long as one of them could secure the interests of the Wolf Pack.

After discussing the matter with them, it was ultimately Vincent who volunteered to negotiate with these humans.

After all, Sander preferred to keep his identity a secret and had no intention of revealing himself just like that.

For Vincent, it was the first opportunity to represent the entire Wolf Pack, which made him promise emphatically to the Wolf King with great excitement.

Following this, Vincent led a group of Variant Species Humans to meet and engage with the arriving human negotiators.

As he sat in the heavily armored transport moving forward, he looked at the list of names on the document in his hand and couldn't help but let a slight smile flicker across his eyes.

"Marshal Donaldson, heh, who would've thought that a figure of such magnitude in my eyes would sit across from me at the negotiation table today?"

Like Sander, Vincent used to be just another ordinary member of the New Human Squadron.

He was even less significant than Sander, since at least Sander was a deputy team leader and had a slightly higher salary than him.

But today, this once insignificant man was about to negotiate with Marshal Donaldson, who held heavy troops and stood at the pinnacle of power, and he was in the position of looking down upon the other party!

Therefore, Vincent, just like Sander felt when purchasing supplies, experienced for the first time what true power and influence were.

Vincent, like Sander, was a smart man.

They were both well aware of who had granted them this boundless power and authority.

...

Meanwhile, at the Arctic Borderline.

All the temporarily stationed humans had solemn expressions.

They all radiated the aura of the strong, with each one having a presence of at least Level Ten, all clad in First-Class Mech Armor.

The Mech Armor made their figures even larger.

This group of humans numbered over a hundred, and a hundred First-Class Mech Warriors would be an inconceivably powerful force in human society.

Even an Ordinary King Level Mutant Creature would have to avoid their onslaught if faced with the combined attack of a hundred First-Class Mech Warriors.

Yet now, these humans were all uniformly solemn.

One of the Mech Armored Warriors, lifting the visor of the armor, revealed a face that was clearly aged, with wrinkles and deep lines.

His old eyes also carried a sense of time-worn weariness and haziness.

This elder was none other than Marshal Donaldson, who wielded boundless influence in Great Russia, second only to Emperor Pu.

But now, this old marshal, who held the heavy troops of the imperial capital, had none of his usual relaxed demeanor; all that was present was solemnity and gravitas.

For he was here to negotiate with the Arctic Wolf King!

The might of the Arctic Wolf King required no further words!

Be it the video of the battle where he slaughtered the Mysterious Gu King, the Strange Phenomena of the Nine Cycles Silver Moon, or the Apocalyptic Level Power rating given by the Science Alliance, all attested to his boundless terror.

And moreover, the Arctic Wolf King was an Apocalyptic Exotic Beast of the Speed type!

Speed type!

Such exotic beasts were undoubtedly the most troublesome in any human faction!

For against a Speed-type Exotic Beast, neither comprehensive bombing nor the hunting by Mech Armored Aircraft were very effective!

These creatures were too fast; once they started sprinting at full speed, they were nearly impossible to lock onto and track.

Their greatest advantage lay in their ability to fight or flee at will.

Even if they lost a battle, they could turn tail and run, vanishing without a trace after hiding their presence.

And if they ambushed when their enemies were unprepared, the resulting destruction and losses would be unimaginable.

All major human powers had received painful lessons from such Speed-type Exotic Beasts.

Let alone an Apocalyptic Arctic Wolf King, even an Extreme King Level, or even a High King Level Speed-type Exotic Beast, was something no faction would provoke unless they had no other choice.

So, regarding the Arctic Wolf King, Donaldson had no confidence at all in his heart.

If the Arctic Wolf King was determined to kill him right here and even lead his Wolf Pack to invade Great Russia, no strategy to counter it could be found.

Additionally, the situation in Great Russia was already in chaos. If the Arctic Wolf King really did invade Great Russia again, a colossal upheaval would likely arise instantly.

Therefore, the only sliver of a chance lay in negotiation.

As long as the Arctic Wolf King could be stabilized and all Mutated Creatures within Great Russia exterminated, only then, securing internal stability, could other matters be discussed.

Otherwise, with the dissatisfaction brewing internally, even a spark from outside could risk toppling the empire with the broadest land in the world.

At this moment, Donaldson and his subordinates waited solemnly.

And as he watched the Flying Birds, Arctic Foxes, Wolf Clan, and others in the distance, observing them, the solemnity in his eyes deepened further.

Before coming here, Donaldson had naturally sought to thoroughly understand the Wolf Pack under the Arctic Wolf King's command.

He knew this was an Invincible Wolf Pack that gathered countless Species, enormous in number!

You should know that hostility among different Species was still deep, yet the Arctic Wolf King could set aside all prejudices and gather all Species of the Arctic into the Wolf Pack without discrimination!

He was a true teacher to all.

So, when Donaldson learned of this, he was utterly shaken!

It meant that the Arctic Wolf King's breadth of mind and wisdom, perhaps, far exceeded any other Mutant Creature he had ever encountered!

Facing an Invincible Wolf King with the strength, wisdom, and vision, Donaldson's heart was even less certain about the negotiation, unsure of what price might be enough to stabilize this Wolf King and his Wolf Pack.

"Ah, such a universal educator as this Wolf King should mean there won't be too much of a language barrier in negotiations. I just hope the cost won't cut too deep into the foundations of Great Russia!"

With these thoughts, Donaldson, who was nearing the end of his long life, continued to stand solemnly in place, waiting.

However, in his heart, he was constantly weighing and calculating the price that this negotiation would demand.
