Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf

Sander's thoughts, if put into human society, would definitely be cursed as a "traitor," "renegade," "worse than a pig or dog," and the like.

But he didn't care!

Because when he was just an ordinary New Human, who had cared about him?

When they were forcibly sent to face their deaths, to confront the Rat Tide, to confront the Wolf Pack, who cared about their feelings?

Even their families were held as bargaining chips in the hands of those with power!

So Sander never felt he was wrong.

Whoever treated him well, he would give his life to them, how was that wrong?

The Wolf King gave him hope to live, gave him everything he had never enjoyed before, and even promoted him to his current status, so he was determined to give his life for the Wolf King and the Wolf Pack!

In the face of the Wolf King's orders, he was always unconditionally obedient, fighting without hesitation wherever the Wolf King commanded.

....

At this time, during the migration of the Wolf Pack, time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, two days passed.

The Wolf Pack had returned to its former territory in the South, which was no longer enveloped in polar night but had entered the time of day and night cycles.

The migration back from the Land of Adventure took two days, which was slow for the Wolf Pack.

Because if they didn't need to drive prey or drag large amounts of reserved food, the migration would have taken less than ten hours for the Wolf Pack.

After returning, the various sections of the Wolf Pack, under the leadership of the Beta Wolves and Lead Wolves, began to find places to rest in an orderly fashion.

Su Lin, Sander, and Xiao Hui also came to the mountain where the Wolf Pack was going to settle down for a long time!

This mountain was exactly as Xiao Hui had described.

Sheer cliffs rose all around, extremely dangerous, and the mountain, standing over a thousand meters tall, was the highest within a span of three or four hundred miles.

Such a steep terrain indeed provided a defense against Variant Species of around Level Ten or even those up to Level Twenty, especially those not adept at climbing.

For such a dangerous mountain, Sander had already dispatched his subordinates from among the humans to measure and calculate bit by bit, preparing how to construct a dwelling place for the Wolf King and the Wolf Pack in the future.

Su Lin simply instructed Sander to have his subordinates clear the top of the mountain briefly, and then to find a temporary living area for each elite section of the Wolf Pack.

In Sander's respectful replies, Su Lin didn't stay too long at the site.

With a low howl, he, along with Xiao Hui, Wolf Sister, Cousin, Wolf Dad, and Wolf Mother, among others, prepared to go back to the cave he and Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom had originally stayed in to take a look.

Returning to their old home, it was natural to check out the places they had once stayed and to re-mark and define the territorial boundaries.

Xiao Hui, Wolf Sister, Cousin, Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom, and Su Lin had all lived in this territory for a long time and felt a deep sense of familiarity and fondness for it.

So, upon hearing the Wolf King's low howl, they all set aside what they were doing and hurried over.

As Su Lin and the others inspected the area, they also left some marks along the way.

The pack's previous marks had been made with excrement,

but Su Lin left marks of spiritual power, which could better deter other species that wanted to invade.

Even after the rest had evolved into Variant Species, they also marked their territory by spreading their scent, using lingering smells as markers.

Only Xiao Hui, the simple-minded one, still used the old-fashioned method of marking with excrement.

After patrolling for a while, Su Lin discovered that the Gold-patterned Traveling Rat leading the terrifying Rat Tide had severely ravaged the territory.

Even shrubs and bushes had been completely gnawed away. It had taken almost two years for new plants to start growing again.

However, this territory, with its temperature and humidity more hospitable than the icy plains, wouldn't take more than a year or two for the shrubs and bushes to recover to their former numbers.

Su Lin expanded the former territory of the Wolf Pack to an area of five hundred miles around, incorporating the nearby lands, with the South bordering the Arctic Borderline.

An area of about a hundred thousand square kilometers became the dominion of Su Lin's Wolf Pack, increasing the former territory more than threefold!

This area, awaiting the revival of shrubs and bushes, could also eventually house a considerable number of large herbivorous species, solving the food problems for the Wolf Pack.

After marking and patrolling the territory, they also visited the cave where Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom stayed.

They found the cave of Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom, which had been uninhabited for a long time, to be overgrown with bushes at the entrance, and stones and snow had nearly blocked half of the entrance.

Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom looked at the cave they had once lived in for a long time and let out two low howls.

Their howls were not without a trace of reminiscence.

However, this small cave clearly no longer suited Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom to live in.

It could be repurposed, used as a storage point for the Wolf Pack's reserve food. Find your next read on empire

With this in mind, Su Lin gave instructions to Xiao Hui,

signaling him to have his elite wolves come here and clean it up later.

Following that,

Su Lin once again led them back to the cave where his own small Wolf Pack had stayed.

The cave where he had led the small Wolf Pack was much better than Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom's.

After all, this cave was halfway up the mountain, the path treacherous, and most species simply couldn't make it up there.

Wind and rocks couldn't accumulate in the cave halfway up the mountain.

Even the terrifying Rat Tide that had emerged back then had not noticed this place.
