Chapter 87: Chapter 87: The Tragedy of the Lynx, A Gathering of a Hundred Wolves!
The Variant Species’ resilience and the Lynx’s ferocity,
were fully displayed in this deadly fight.
Amid the blizzard,
both sides were engaged in a gruesome battle.
The Lynx was significantly weaker than Su Lin,
and after just a few exchanges, it was completely overwhelmed.
While fighting,
the Lynx attempted to find an opportunity to flee.
But the speed that the Lynx had always been proud of
was utterly useless in front of Su Lin.
After trying to escape several times,
it was chased down by Su Lin, who struck it fiercely with his wolf claws,
leaving the Lynx covered in wounds.
Even with its impressive resilience to blows,
under the barrage of injuries, its life force was rapidly draining away.
The Lynx, not known for its vitality, was finally faltering,
after another dozen vicious exchanges with Su Lin.
It could feel its weakness,
and even began to feel dizzy and nauseous from excessive blood loss.
The wounds on its body were bloody and terrifying,
exposing the white bones within!
Am I going to die?
This Lynx, with an aura of tragic fierceness, seemed to have seen its demise!
As the King of Siberia,
it had come to the Arctic to avoid human encirclement and pursuit.
It had thought that
it could also reign supreme in the Arctic, making all species recognize it as the king.
But was it really about to die beneath the claws of this White Wolf, just days after arriving?
It refused to accept this fate!
“Ao!”
The Lynx’s sharp and piercing howl rang out once again.
Driven by a strong will to survive, it fought back like flickering back to life,
engaging in combat with Su Lin again.
In that moment,
the Lynx’s Strength Value of around 120 and a Speed Value exceeding 130 seemed to return to their peak.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
…
The sound of flesh colliding and talons slicing through skin echoed through the blizzard once more.
The blood of the Variant Species Lynx,
more pungent than that of Ordinary Species,
began to spread with the howling blizzard.
Facing the Lynx’s desperate counterattack,
Su Lin showed no fear,
his eyes cold as he relied on his speed to suppress the Lynx.
Bang!
Su Lin struck fiercely again with his claw, sending the Lynx’s not-so-large body flying seven or eight meters away!
The Lynx��s body crashed to the ground!
Ice and snow were thrown violently through the air.
The Lynx’s already scarce blood gushed from its mouth once more.
It struggled to rise from the ground,
facing the approaching White Wolf with a hint of shock in its eyes.
The power of this White Wolf exceeded its imagination.
It had thought that,
with its Concealment Talent, it could easily retreat if it could not defeat the White Wolf.
But the speed and Attack Power the White Wolf revealed,
had shattered its plans completely!
Under the Hunting Talent, those two powerful strikes,
had caused internal bleeding and seemed to signify the end of its reign.
“Ao!”
A sharp and mournful cry rose!
The Lynx did not want to die!
It had not yet reached its true peak,
and with time, it could have grown even stronger!
But that was just wishful thinking,
because the moment the Lynx struggled to its feet,
it was struck hard again,
right at its skull.
Bang!
With that solid blow,
crack,
the Lynx felt its hardest skull, under continuous strikes,
develop a crack.
The pain that radiated from its skull spread throughout its nervous system.
The green eyes of the Lynx,
already filled with bloodshot streaks, were now suddenly flooded with blood.
It smelled the scent of death for real.
The Lynx felt immobilized,
and despite its desire to fight to the end and bite off a chunk of the White Wolf’s flesh,
it couldn’t do it anymore.
Its usually nimble body was now unimaginably heavy.
“`
The lynx longed to howl again, but it had become a luxury.
But the White Wolf in front of it still showed no mercy.
Bang!
Another heavy blow slammed into the lynx’s neck!
The sharp Wolf Claw left a deep gash on the lynx’s neck!
The wound cut through the lynx’s throat,
but the splurging of blood wasn’t as one might imagine.
Because most of the lynx’s blood had already drained from the wound.
It had been fighting till now solely on its natural ferocity!
The lynx now,
was covered in blood from head to foot,
one could hardly make out its original fur color.
One eye had been shredded by the sharp Wolf Claw, its abdomen bore several horrendous wounds, with some of its guts spilling out.
Even the hardest skull had been cracked open by several vicious strikes.
It was dying!
As its remaining life force rapidly drained away,
the lynx’s body finally collapsed heavily onto the snowy ground.
Its eyes, filled with blood, gradually lost their ferocious gleam.
As a lynx,
it had hunted bison, sika deer, and even defeated tigers and brown bears!
It had even killed several cunning humans!
It had made its way from Siberia to the Arctic,
killing wherever it went,
as if there were no more adversaries in the natural world!
But this time,
it had been hunted by a more powerful White Wolf.
The law of the jungle,
seems like a cycle no one can escape.
“Huff! Huff!”
By now, Su Lin, too, was panting heavily as he approached the lynx,
not wanting to waste any more time,
after having fought and chased it for dozens of miles.
He was no longer in familiar territory,
he had even ventured into the territory of a large Wolf Pack.
So he didn’t want to linger too long!
He thrust his sharp fanged teeth directly into the lynx’s neck, tearing its throat wound open again.
The last bit of the lynx’s life force also vanished in the savage tearing.
Its eyes, lost the last bit of spirit.
Thus, this Variant Species from Siberia perished!
And Su Lin received his combat rating and rewards for the battle.
Weak overcame strong!
A battle bathed in blood!
A terrifying fight!
A clash of talents!
Triumphant in the end!
The target is dead!
Combat Rating: S+.
[Combat Rating: S+, reward of one Strengthening Serum, one Talent Serum, and three Recovery Potions.]
The rating reached an S+ this time,
and he received quite a few rewards,
Su Lin was familiar with both Strengthening Serum and Talent Serum.
He glanced over the three Recovery Potions,
they were meant to restore Physical Strength and condition.
After looking over the rewards,
Su Lin picked up the lynx’s corpse and prepared to return to the cave.
The lynx’s body wasn’t heavy, weighing close to two hundred pounds.
But it’s hard to imagine such a thin body possessing such formidable Strength and Speed.
Just as Su Lin carried the lynx’s body, began his journey back,
the thick scent of Variant Species blood on the lynx hadn’t completely dissipated in the blizzard.
There was still some residue.
And some wolves of the Wolf Clan nearby had already sniffed the blood scent in the blizzard.
The scent of blood didn’t carry far in the storm,
but this territory had the highest concentration of the Wolf Clan in the large pack.
A number of wolves from the Wolf Clan began to gather around Su Lin one after another.
Calls to assemble the Wolf Pack resounded near and far.
The usually piercing howl of wolves could only travel two or three hundred meters in the blizzard.
But there were so many in this Clan,
and in no time at all,
wolf after wolf began to gather,
those pairs of glowing green Wolf Eyes became utterly terrifying in the pitch-black night.
This was the territory of the large and formidable Wolf Pack that had expanded wantonly!
The lingering scent of the lynx’s blood,
ignited a look of craving in the eyes of each of these wolves.
To the Wolf Clan, the scent of blood on its own was already a supreme temptation.
And the blood of a Variant Species was enough to drive them wild!
“Awooo!”
“Awooo!”
“Awooo!”
…
Each wolf could no longer contain the desire in their eyes and began to follow beside Su Lin.
And Su Lin, carrying the Purple Lynx’s corpse, didn’t head back very fast.
As time passed,
the large Wolf Pack that survived the eternal night, maintaining forty to fifty wolves, began to assemble.
The large Wolf Pack had expanded over two months,
now boasting well over a hundred wolves, and had become the undisputed ruler of the territory!
Even the Bear Clan could only tremble under their rule.
