Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf

But it could only dive in shallow waters about ten to eight meters deep.

Any deeper, and the pressure and breathing would be extremely lethal for the still small bear.

However, after turning around in the shallow waters for half a day, Xiao Bai still failed to find its leader.

Returning to the ice after feeling somewhat dejected.

"Ao!"

"Ao!"

"Ao!"

...

Seeing that Xiao Bai\'s attempt to find Su Lin underwater had been in vain, the members of the Wolf Clan all lifted their heads and howled long and loud.

They wanted to try to reach the Wolf King with their resonant howls that carried both strength and penetration.

But it was all in vain,

Apart from the incessant chirping of birds under the midnight sun, there was no response.

Cousin had led the Wolf Pack to search the entire ice floe but still could not find him, which made her very anxious.

She began to lowly howl, signaling a wolfess to summon the Little Lone Wolf back as well, to join in the search for Su Lin.

But it was Xiao Hui who ultimately stopped her.

Xiao Hui, though often simple-minded, was very calm in critical situations.

And being a Variant Species, its intelligence was much higher than Cousin\'s.

In the current situation,

Xiao Hui, Cousin, and the Little Lone Wolf were all Beta Wolves of the pack with equal status.

Having grown up with the leader and Cousin since young,

It was no problem to heed Cousin\'s commands.

But would the Little Lone Wolf truly listen?

With the Little Lone Wolf\'s extremely fierce combat strength, Xiao Hui was already no match for it.

And with its nearly twenty brave and skilled Wolf Clan followers, even if Xiao Hui and Cousin joined forces, they could not stop it.

So, without the leader present, could Cousin really suppress the Little Lone Wolf? And would the Little Lone Wolf really heed Cousin\'s commands?

This prompted Xiao Hui to stop the wolfess, deciding it was better to let the Little Lone Wolf continue subduing the remnants of the large wolf group in the west.

Xiao Hui and the remaining wolves would carefully search for their leader.

After all, with the leader\'s invincible combat prowess and supreme intelligence, how could anything happen to him?

Surely he had encountered new prey and had gone hunting alone.

With this thought, Xiao Hui also exchanged low howls with Cousin.

After a long exchange and much worry, Cousin finally settled down a bit.

But in the end, she still sent out six of her wolfesses, instructing them to thoroughly search for the Wolf King within a three to four hundred li radius.

...

Time passed swiftly under the constant daylight and darkness of the poles.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

During these three days, Su Lin\'s Physical Strength had already recovered to its Peak.

By consuming the tentacles of the Giant King Squid, he had also gained over thirty thousand Evolution Points.

With about seventy to eighty jin left, once eaten, he could definitely break through to Level 13.

Profit!

Trading a thousand jin or so of Variant Species Seal meat for tens of thousands of Evolution Points was undoubtedly a great gain.

And eating a single bite worth thousands of Evolution Points, even if reduced by 3 points each time, would still take a long while to diminish.

Besides,

During these three days, Su Lin had also roamed around the region.

He discovered that the Species in this area were pitifully scarce, with only a few exceedingly cold-resistant birds scattered around.

Other Species were nowhere to be seen,

But at the largest Ice Mountain, he found quite a few paw prints from dogs and the Bear Clan.

However, relying on his powerful and sharp senses, Su Lin could feel a dangerous aura emanating from inside the Ice Mountain.

So, he only watched from the perimeter for a long time, not daring to recklessly enter.

After the major changes in the world, no one could be sure what powerful beings might exist within an Ice Mountain.

The encounter with the Giant King Squid in the sea was a living example; the Variant Species of The World should not be underestimated.

Additionally, Su Lin felt it was time to use the Talent Serum obtained from eating the Seal\'s brain, to add an extra layer of safety.

Now back in the Ice Cave, Su Lin did not waste time.

With a thought, he took out the Talent Serum.

Currently, his Healing Talent had reached Grade A, and his Hunting Talent had reached Grade C,

Strengthening either would greatly enhance Su Lin\'s abilities.

Especially the Healing Talent, which now allowed active consumption of Physical Strength to speed up recovery, making his survivability even more formidable.

"Ding! Do you wish to use the Talent Serum?"

"Yes."

After using it, a very comfortable warm flow once again appeared over Su Lin\'s wolf body.

But this time Su Lin discovered that this warm energy flow lasted for a long time without being absorbed by his wolf body.

"Huh? What\'s happening?"

Just when Su Lin was slightly astonished,

The warm flow abruptly changed, transforming into something like flame and giving off a scorching pain.

This burning sensation was different from the scalding of the Strengthening Serum; it felt as though the flames were trying to merge into his body.

"Ao!"

Unable to help it, Su Lin howled softly, his eyes then flashing with keen light.

Because he could feel a new kind of Energy slowly emerging inside his body.

He had always used the Talent Serum to strengthen his Talents, but had overlooked that the Talent Serum had a ten percent chance of unlocking a new Talent.

```

And now, what looks to be a new Talent has awakened!

Having already endured the agony of destruction and regeneration, Su Lin was able to bear this pain as well!

He was also very eager to see what new Talent he would unlock!

The flame transformed by the Talent Serum gradually moved towards the wolf body of Su Lin.

Of course, the sensation from absorbing the warm current and the flame was worlds apart.

About half an hour passed amidst the pain.

Only then did the flame fully surge into Su Lin\'s wolf body,

followed by a faint gray notification prompt appearing before his eyes.

"Ding! Congratulations, you\'ve acquired Stealth Talent (Level B)."

"Stealth Talent?"

Su Lin looked at this prompt and felt the pain in his body gradually fading away.

He had high expectations for the new Talent he had unlocked.

After the pain disappeared, it took only a few seconds for the introduction of the Stealth Talent to appear before him.

[Stealth]: Level B (not upgradeable), active Talent.

Upon activation, your presence entirely vanishes, and your form enters an Invisibility State, with no attribute bonuses; can coexist with other Talents.

Duration: 8 hours.

Cooldown Period: 24 hours.

When the new Talent introduction appeared before him, Su Lin read it carefully and felt that this Talent was far stronger than the Concealment Talent of the Variant Species Lynx.

Your presence entirely vanishes, and your form enters an Invisibility State!

This was quite similar to the Variant Species Lynx\'s Concealment Talent;

however, the Lynx\'s Concealment Talent could at most blend one\'s body with the surroundings, making it look very similar to them.

But the Stealth Talent allowed one to enter an Invisibility State!

This directly trumped the Concealment Talent!

During the last blizzard, if the Variant Species Lynx had entered an Invisibility State, then Su Lin likely wouldn\'t have been able to track it at all!

As for the duration, it was a full eight hours.

The duration was beyond heavenly.

A full eight hours of Invisibility State could enable many actions to be accomplished.

"Phew!"

Su Lin exhaled, his expression brightening with joy.

This Stealth Talent might not increase any attributes, but its practical combat effects would be extraordinarily extraordinary.

From now on, whether for assassinations, ambushes, surprise attacks, retreats, and more, it would definitely be an extremely useful Talent!

A great gain!

Su Lin was very satisfied with this Talent.

He rose to his feet and moved to the entrance of the Ice Cave, gazing towards the biggest Ice Mountain in the distance.

In his golden-brown eyes, there was also a glint of exploratory desire!

"With Stealth Talent, I have much greater security. Why not explore what exactly is inside the Ice Mountain?" Su Lin thought to himself.

The Stealth Talent couldn\'t have come at a better time,

Exploring this largest Ice Mountain to see if there were Heavenly and Earthly Treasures like the Exotic Flowers of Ice Mountain Lotus he encountered last time, would indeed be fantastic fortune!

Initially, being hunted by the Giant King Squid seemed like the epitome of misfortune; in retrospect, it was a blessing in disguise.

With this mood, Su Lin stepped out of the Ice Cave.

With a leap, he began hopping down from the base of the Ice Mountain.

The bone-chilling wind blowing against him merely ruffled Su Lin\'s fur slightly, failing to make him feel the slightest bit cold.

Next,

Su Lin quickly made his way towards the massive Ice Mountain that towered more than a thousand meters high from the surface of the ice!

It was the largest Ice Mountain Su Lin had ever seen,

and even compared to the one where he found the Ice Mountain Lotus, it was a case of a dwarf standing beside a giant.

If only a part of it protruded a thousand meters above, it was hard to imagine how enormous the part submerged under the sea was!

Could it truly be an Ice Mountain tens of thousands of meters tall?

The thought alone made Su Lin gasp in surprise.

Keep in mind that Mount Everest, known as the highest peak in the world, is only eight or nine thousand meters tall.

And now here was an Ice Mountain that reached a height of tens of thousands of meters – how utterly unbelievable!

But in a world that had undergone tremendous changes, with frequent bizarre phenomena, Su Lin was not surprised for too long.

He, however, believed that there must be something beyond imagination inside this colossal Ice Mountain.

In no time, Su Lin reached the periphery of the massive Ice Mountain.

As he looked from the rugged ice path inside the Ice Mountain, he still sensed a faint and extraordinary power.

At this moment, Su Lin brought all his senses to their peak, hoping to see or hear something from within the Ice Mountain.

But after a long look, he saw nothing, heard nothing.

However, Su Lin glanced at the footprints of canines and the Bear Clan around the periphery of the Ice Mountain.

He figured there must have been at least two groups of Hunters that had rushed into the Ice Mountain.

So after pondering for a moment, he also proceeded towards the depths of the Ice Mountain.

There must be some Heavenly and Earthly Treasures within this towering Ice Mountain; otherwise, it wouldn\'t attract so many Hunters.

Moreover, Hunters that had managed to survive in this harsh climate must have some capabilities.

Su Lin wasn\'t taking anything lightly.

He cautiously walked into the Ice Mountain from the rugged ice path and immediately felt an even denser chill.

A white blanket of fog,

Even with Su Lin\'s remarkable vision, all he could see was the objects within a two or three hundred meter radius.

This was a very dangerous distance.

If a creature suddenly launched a surprise attack, it would be hard to react in time.

This caused Su Lin to use all his senses to their fullest extent, relying not only on sight,

but also on hearing, smell, and even his sixth sense, all of which were fully operative.
