Chapter 261: Chapter 182: The Smoke of Gunpowder Rises Again._2
Its gaze directly overlooked several copper behemoths, focusing on what lay even further ahead.
For only the things in the distance were worthy of its attention, where one of its capable generals resided!
This capable general had once sent back news that in the harsh North, there was a place lush with water and grass, abundant with various species.
That place also held countless amounts of pure energy, so after the Variant Species Traveling Rat King led its rat tide to tear apart numerous black and copper monsters, it once again headed toward the harsh North.
The fat and rich area described by the capable general in its messages had long been on its mind!
It was getting close,
Now, it seemed to even smell the aura of the pure energy and the breath of many species abundant in Qi-Blood.
Excitement flickered in the eyes of the Variant Species Traveling Rat King.
Sparing nothing in its diet,
If the region ahead was as described by its general, devouring everything there would surely bring an incredible boost in its strength.
Then, it would become the true king of the Arctic tundra!
Even if that terrifying Wolf King reappeared, what could it possibly do to it? Experience stories on m_vl_em_p_yr
As for the several copper behemoths up ahead, in the eyes of the Variant Species Traveling Rat King, they were already marked as its rivals for that fat land.
Thus, within its small, beady eyes flashed a bloodthirsty, cold gleam!
"Squeak!"
With another sharp cry, the rat tide under its command surged forward at increased speed towards the copper behemoths to engulf them!
Even the several Variant Species beside it, eager to show off their prowess before the Traveling Rat King, were sprinting madly toward the copper behemoths!
Although the unexpected assistance of the copper behemoths last time did inflict considerable damage upon them, even tearing apart three of their companions with a lashing tongue of fire,
now these copper behemoths had become solitary fighters, without the helper that darted across the sky, breathing tongues of fire!
So they all squeaked sharply and charged forward.
...
And it was at this point, within the Land of Adventure,
Su Lin, having just made a breakthrough, and preparing to leave this mysterious land, took Little Lone Wolf along to inspect this Land of Adventure once more.
A few areas that required special patrolling and protection were also entrusted to Little Lone Wolf.
Especially those places that could produce a large amount of Energy Fruit, hinting that Little Lone Wolf should personally oversee them.
For instance, the territory where the Arctic Silver Fox clan used to reside.
There was also a not-so-small Dissolving Cave, though not as spacious as the Musk Ox Group's Dissolving Cave, it was still more than sufficient for dozens of the Wolf Clan to station there.
Moreover, the Arctic Silver Fox's territory had even lusher water and grass.
It was indeed possible to drive some of the rapidly breeding herbivorous species groups towards that area.
No matter what, ensuring a food supply was of utmost importance.
During this inspection, time slipped away bit by bit.
Soon, Su Lin had patrolled to the very edge of the Land of Adventure.
This was originally the Reindeer Group's territory, and where the Wolf Pack had begun their bloody slaughter.
Here, the Wolf Pack had completely annihilated the Reindeer Group, and now this area was occupied by some Moose Herd and nests of Arctic Rabbits.
Once fragile and under constant threat, the Arctic Rabbits had no fixed territory in this Land of Adventure and could only live by hiding.
Now, due to the extinction of the Reindeer Group and Su Lin's order not to hunt indiscriminately,
these Arctic Rabbits began their happy lives on the fringes of the Land of Adventure.
With no hunter's threat and nourished by pure grass as food, these Arctic Rabbits naturally started to breed rapidly.
The rabbit's breeding capability might not compare to the Traveling Rats in the Arctic, but it was still among the top.
Thus, in just about a month or so, this area saw frequent sightings of Arctic Rabbits, and occasionally, groups of young followed in appearance.
For such a scene, Su Lin was naturally pleased to see it prosper.
Yet, he still cautioned Little Lone Wolf not to let the Arctic Rabbits breed out of control.
When it was time to hunt, they had to hunt!
The food was being raised, naturally for the consumption of the Wolf Pack, and the tender meat of these Arctic Rabbits made for a great meal.

In the midst of instructing, the Little Lone Wolf beside Su Lin nodded vigorously in agreement with a series of howls.
Just as Su Lin was going over some precautionary matters and was about to continue exploring the other side of the Land of Adventure with the Little Lone Wolf,
a solemn look suddenly appeared in his pair of golden-brown Wolf Eyes.
Because of Su Lin's extremely sharp senses, he faintly detected a series of intense booms and shrieks!
The fact that he could only faintly detect them meant that the source of the booms and shrieks was at least a hundred kilometers away from the Land of Adventure.
Boom!
In that solemn moment, Su Lin instantly sprang into full Speed, darting over five hundred meters per second, and in a flash, he arrived atop a tall snow slope on the outskirts of the Land of Adventure!
Seeing the change in their leader's aura, the Little Lone Wolf by his side also became stern.
It quickly sprinted, following right beside its leader.
The Little Lone Wolf had now reached Level Eighteen, and its full-speed dash had reached about one hundred and forty-five meters per second.
This Speed was considered extremely fast among Variant Species around Level Twenty!
Having dashed to its leader's side, the Little Lone Wolf, like Su Lin, gazed toward the intensely cold Harsh Arctic Ice Plains to the south.
However, the Little Lone Wolf's Sensory Power was limited, only allowing it to sense within a range of a dozen kilometers or so.
But Su Lin pushed his senses to the Peak, and his range of Perception soared to the extreme!
He could now clearly hear what those intense booms and sharp roars were.
It was the sound of High-Explosive Bombs bursting on the Harsh Arctic Ice Plains, mixed with the fracturing of ice layers and the hisses of Traveling Rats!
Apart from that, there was also the dense and dull sound of heavy-caliber rapid-fire machine guns!
This sound caused Su Lin's golden-brown Wolf Eyes to flash with endless ferocity, and his immaculate white fur fully bristled, entering a battle-ready state!
A terrifyingly fierce desire to kill quickly rose from his large wolf body!
"Humans?"
Su Lin had not expected that humans would set foot on such a harsh northern ice plain at this time.
Especially considering that it was dozens of degrees below zero during the polar night!
And these humans had come with various powerful Technology Weapons!
Their intentions were clearly not good!
Originally, Su Lin had planned to sweep across the Arctic Tundra before stepping out of this Harsh Arctic region and clashing with human forces.
Who could have expected that humans would take the initiative and invade the Arctic?
But to Su Lin, the Arctic had already become the private territory of the Wolf Pack, and no one could simply walk around beside their resting place without consequence.
Thus, the deadly intent emanating from his massive wolf body grew even more intense!
"Huff!"
Eventually, he let out a deep breath, squinting his golden-brown Wolf Eyes with a hint of danger and bloodlust.
Immediately after, an earth-shattering Wolf Howl resounded!
"Aooh!"
The rolling Wolf Howl, with its strong penetrative power, was Su Lin summoning all the members of the Wolf Pack.
The Wolf Pack was no longer the small and weak pack it once was.
They were destined to clash with various human forces in the future, so this time Su Lin intended to extend the Wolf Pack's experience.
To let them know that their future opponents weren't just the Variant Species on the Arctic Tundra that relied solely on brute force and group attacks!
Their biggest future rivals would be humans with top-tier Technology Weapons and a greater emphasis on tactical cooperation!
The hunting tactics perfected by the Wolf Pack over thousands of years would now collide with human intelligence on the Harsh Arctic Ice Plains in the ultimate test!
Only through combat would they learn where the Wolf Pack's weaknesses lay in the fierce future struggles against humans.
With his powerful Perception, Su Lin felt that the invading human forces were not many in number.
The sounds of explosive shells and the rat-tat-tat of high-speed machine guns were not dense and clustered, but sporadic and scattered.
This would be ideal for testing the Wolf Pack.
As Su Lin's earth-shattering Wolf Howl echoed out, calls of response soon rose from every corner of the Land of Adventure!
