Chapter 181: Chapter 149: Might of the Howl.
Even under the extreme night, Su Lin still distinctly saw a pale grey shadow, almost like lightning, charging straight towards him!
With incredible speed, it almost reached a velocity of two hundred meters per second!
“Swoosh!”
The enormous howling sound cutting through the air also fully revealed its figure within Su Lin’s field of vision.
With such rapidity, not to mention ordinary Hunters, even Su Lin only saw a flash before the pale grey shadow was upon him!
“Roar!”
A piercing roar suddenly burst through the frigid air.
It was at this moment that Su Lin finally clearly saw the true face of the pale grey shadow!
Lynx!
A Variant Species Lynx, a female Variant Species Lynx!
Lynxes are natural born Hunters,
They may be small in stature, but their ferocity and ruthlessness often surpass that of any Hunter!
This Variant Species Lynx, though, had a massive body spanning four to five meters!
With a piercing shriek, its razor-sharp talons smashed viciously towards Su Lin’s throat!
Aimed to strike at the throat!
For the Lynx, it disdains to injure the prey’s eyes, nose, and other vital spots!
It prefers not to act, but once it does, it’s a strike to kill!
Its pair of purple-blue eyes radiated a bone-chilling killing intent.
But this time, it had underestimated its opponent!
Su Lin’s reaction speed was far faster than the Lynx’s!
“Howl!”
Accompanied by a thunderous Wolf Howl, Su Lin swiftly sidestepped, dodging the Lynx’s vicious attack!
Still, the Lynx’s attack had grazed the edge of his neck!
But Su Lin��s fur, already braced for combat, had become harder than steel!
The Lynx’s Claw Spike scraped against the thick fur, creating a sharp friction noise like that of metal, yet failing to penetrate Su Lin’s coat.
After its strike missed, the Variant Species Lynx’s powerful momentum carried it dozens of meters forward before it could steady itself!
Then, its purple-blue eyes surveyed the battlefield, clearly discontented with its failed kill.
Still, it decisively broke off the attack without a trace of hesitation!
This Variant Species Lynx was clever; it knew that Ambush and Slay were the Lynx’s forte.
So even with its formidable combat strength, it had no intention of engaging Su Lin to the death in this icy wasteland!
It immediately planned to flee the battlefield!
This arrogant Wolf Clan, disliked by many, was already targeted by numerous Hunters.
It was merely attracted by the essence-rich flesh of the White Wolf, along with the flesh of several Variant Species Wolves,
The Wolves had long been on the Lynx’s Hunting list,
The urge to Hunt the Wolves seemed to come from deep within the Lynx’s genetic code.
As fierce Hunters whose territories often overlapped, the struggle between the Lynx and the Wolf Clan had been ongoing for quite some time.
Many times, the Lynx had been labeled as a “Wolf Slaying Machine,” which could be an exaggeration,
But under Ambush and Slay, Wolves of the same Level were mostly no match for the Lynx!
However, since it failed to secure the White Wolf’s flesh, the Variant Species Lynx did not plan to stay any longer!
After all, Endurance and Qi-Blood were the Lynx’s weaknesses; it couldn’t withstand a Wolf Pack’s Hunting like the Variant Species Polar Bear could.
Just as the Variant Species Lynx decided to leave, suddenly, a powerful killing intent fiercely descended upon it.
Its keen senses screamed alarms at it!
This caused the Variant Species Lynx to violently turn its head and glaringly saw the robust White Wolf King with golden-brown eyes fixedly staring at it!
Not only had the White Wolf King dodged its lethal strike, but the overwhelming killing intent emanating from its huge wolf body seemed to have no intention of letting it escape.
The Variant Species Lynx had seldom felt such an intense sense of danger ever since it and its mate became Variant after the great change, surviving off the abundant fruits in that grassy area!
“Roar!”
This prompted the Variant Species Lynx to roar again, shaking off the oppressive feeling enveloped by thick killing intent, then launching into a full sprint with a Peak speed of over two hundred meters per second!
The Lynx didn’t linger; it hoped to exploit the speed boost from its Concealment Talent to break out of this region!
But just as it turned to sprint away, not only did it see the surrounding Wolf Pack closing in, but it also heard a series of thundering noises from behind!
Sonic Boom!
These were the enormous sounds of sonic booms created by speeds surpassing that of sound!
Cloud after cloud of Sonic Boom Cloud emerged in the Arctic air!
Su Lin was sprinting, his speed had momentarily surpassed the displayed speed on his status.
This was also the first time he broke the sound barrier without activating his Hunting Talent!
The distance between the Variant Species Lynx and Su Lin was only a hundred meters; in just a second or two, even though the Variant Species Lynx ran for its life, Su Lin still caught up!
In nature’s cruelty, every hunter must be prepared to die should they fail to Kill!
Su Lin’s golden-brown eyes, brimming with intensified killing intent,
Since the Variant Species Lynx had jumped out first, Su Lin naturally wouldn’t just let it escape!
Such a massive Variant Species Lynx, even if merely reserved as Blood Food for the Wolf Pack, would be enough to raise the Pack’s strength by a notch!
Moreover, Su Lin’s battle was a display of power!
He led the Wolf Pack to share in the spoils and intended to completely exterminate the rebellious deer herd!
