Chapter 248: Avoiding the Blizzard.
In such contemplation, Su Lin's gaze once again left Cousin and Red-tailed.
Cousin and Red-tailed, like Little Lone Wolf, would in the future formally become Su Lin's most important left and right arms in the Wolf Pack.
It's just that their size was too small for breeding.
They had to wait until they became a New Species and awakened the Origin Power before anything else.
Following that,
Su Lin returned to the Wolf Pack's Dissolving Cave and started feasting on the flesh of the Mad Thunder Skyhawk once more.
The stash of gold-patterned Travel Meat, which had been over ten tons, had been consumed down to only around two to three thousand catties after being steadily eaten and rewarded out over the past six months.
Moreover, the Evolution Points earned from the gold-patterned Travel Meat had dwindled to a few hundred points.
Thus, Su Lin planned to store the remaining two to three thousand catties of gold-patterned Travel Meat for future rewards to be distributed to other Variant Species.
The flesh of the Mad Thunder Skyhawk and the Variant Species Killer Whale had now become Su Lin's main source of Evolution Points.
The bones, Talons, and fur from the Mad Thunder Skyhawk and the gold-patterned Travel Rat were all carelessly discarded in a corner of the Dissolving Cave.
Su Lin had gotten a general idea from the returning Inuit about the considerable price fetched for the supplies he had sent to Sander.
So, he planned to hand over all these materials from the Mad Thunder Skyhawk and the gold-patterned Travel Rat to the human Tribe under Sander once he returned.
It would make it convenient to bring these items to human society to exchange for the Wolf Pack's needed resources.
Exchange of needs was the most primitive form of economic exchange, but also the most effective.
Under this exchange, both humans and the Wolf Pack's strength would see unprecedented improvement and growth.
However, Su Lin believed that the strength of the Wolf Pack would far surpass that of humans under this mutual exchange.
Currently, as Su Lin continued to eat, time was quietly slipping away.
...
At this time, Sander, who had entered the Harsh Arctic Ice Plains, was leading his troops at full speed towards the Land of Adventure.
But unfortunately, a fierce blizzard quietly began in the Harsh Arctic sky.
After the great changes in the Arctic, the frequency of blizzards had decreased, but their ferocity had far surpassed that of the past.
Even with their specialized mechanical Heavy Armored and armored vehicles, Sander's troops were impacted by the ferocious blizzard.
The pitch-black night, coupled with the howling storm, rendered the drivers within the armored vehicles and Heavy Armored unable to see the road ahead.
Even with the headlights on full beam, it was to no avail.
Now Sander and his men had reached what was once Wolf Pack Territory, still nearly a thousand kilometers from the Land of Adventure.
It was not a short distance, and there were many unpredictable risks along the way.
Therefore, Sander could only forcefully suppress his excitement to return to the Wolf Pack and ordered his troops to find a wind-shielded mountain for a brief respite.
Although this area was also located in the Arctic, it had not entered the true ice plains and had numerous mountains and land.
But with an army numbering over eighteen thousand under Sander's command, a wind-shielded area on one mountain was obviously not enough.
So wind-shielded areas on the ice walls, snow slopes, and rocky areas spanning twenty to thirty miles were occupied by Sander's troops.
What was most critical was that over two hundred combat aircraft in the sky had been forced to land behind the main force as soon as the blizzard started.
Losing the cover and reconnaissance of air power caused considerable panic and instability among Sander's men.
Because no matter how well-trained, troops would feel fear towards the unknown.
To most humans, the Arctic represented mystery and the unknown.
Moreover, recent reports from the Arctic told of terrifying Rat Tides, Invincible Fierce Tigers, swift White Wolves, and the towering Wolf Pack among the Mutated Creatures.
So this made the troops under Sander's command quite shaky.
Commanders of various ranks also used communication devices to report their temporary resting positions to Sander, only their voices sounded somewhat muffled due to the overly Harsh Arctic weather.
In such a Harsh Arctic, the military discipline of most soldiers was greatly disrupted.
The force of the entire army could perform at seventy percent of their capability in flatland, which would already be quite good.
Under the weather of such blizzards, they couldn't even perform at ten percent.
After all, without satellite signals and with no combat aircraft dominating the skies for support, they were as if blinded and as though their wings had been clipped.
This was the main reason for the panic and fear among the majority of soldiers and commanders at various levels.
However, Sander was not particularly worried.
Because in his eyes, this was the Arctic.
Most of the Variant Species in the vast Arctic had either perished under the Wolf Pack's conquests or joined the Wolf Pack.
Only a small portion of Variant Species still wandered, struggling to survive in the Harsh Arctic.
So comparatively speaking, the Arctic had fewer Mutated Creatures than other regions.
Moreover, during his first exploration, Sander had come here, which was precisely the former territory of the Wolf Pack.
A terrifying Rat Tide had appeared here, and it was that very Rat Tide that forced them to flee desperately in all directions.
In the end, they had run into the deep Arctic and met the Wolf King.
Now, reflecting upon it, Sander couldn't help but feel somewhat startled.
Time really flies, half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
