Next,

Su Lin, accompanied by Xiao Hui, searched a vast range of the barren Arctic Continent.

Still, they found nothing.

Beneath the polar night, all was desolate.

Standing on a snow slope, Su Lin gazed around.

Aside from the faint shimmer of auroras near the distant ice floes, all other places were devoid of any sign of life.

In the end, Su Lin decided to take a look at the ice floe area.

It was often the stomping ground of the true ruler of the Arctic Continent, the Polar Bear.

Therefore, the frequency of Arctic Wolves in those areas wasn't high.

However, the ice floes, teeming with marine life, offered abundant food.

Su Lin and Xiao Hui walked across the vast expanse of the Arctic Continent.

Soon,

atop the snow slope, Su Lin suddenly spotted flickering lights in the distance.

He stopped in his tracks, looking down from his elevated position, his eyes glowing a ghostly green.

Xiao Hui, at his side, also immediately went prone, ready to attack.

After accompanying Su Lin many times, Xiao Hui had become very good at staying alert and hiding its form.

Xiao Hui didn't know what those flickering lights were.

It only saw the massive creature behind the lights, measuring four to five meters in length.

Size determined strength, and seeing the massive creature of four to five meters, Xiao Hui's heart sank.

But Su Lin, standing on the snow slope, was not panicked at all.

He knew what it was.

An off-road vehicle,

it seemed to be the same one he had seen when hunting Musk Oxen last time.

It was apparent that the photographer inside the vehicle was returning from filming on the ice floes.

To film under the polar night, braving the risks.

Whether for a documentary or to study the habits of wildlife, it was quite professional.

The off-road vehicle was moving at a decent speed, swaying as it went and soon disappearing from Su Lin's sight.

The people inside the off-road vehicle did not notice Su Lin,

After all, Su Lin and Xiao Hui were standing on the snow slope, looking down from above,

and with the cover of the dark night, they were difficult to spot.

After the off-road vehicle left, Su Lin also withdrew his gaze,

let out a low howl to rouse Xiao Hui, and continued towards the ice floes.

It didn't take long before

they arrived at the ice floes.

The area around the ice floes was different from other places; it wasn't pitch-black.

Instead, numerous auroras hung in the sky.

The auroras were very beautiful, constantly changing shapes,

sometimes like ribbons, sometimes like flames, sometimes like a huge, colorful screen.

Some were bursting with color, endlessly shifting,

others extraordinarily bright, as if rivaling the glow of stars and the moon,

even beyond the ice floes where the glistening auroras hinted at more, like the light of dawn on the distant sea horizon.

The colors of the auroras were also exceptionally beautiful, with reds, purples, greens, blues, and several other lights interweaving together.

The red auroras were like camellias in bloom, fiery red,

and there were also purple auroras, like drapes of curtains.

Of course, there were also those emanating green radiances like the auroras,

such lights could illuminate afar.

The auroras danced lightly, flickering in and out of brightness,

and at a glance, they appeared nothing short of magnificent.

These were the beautiful scenes naturally etched by Mother Nature.

Many had once believed that

the beautiful auroras were the lights of heaven, opened by gods to lead lost souls.

And under the beautiful auroras,

Su Lin's pair of eyes, emitting a green glow, also saw some animals' shadows on the ice floes.

It was a group of seals.

The seals were lounging together lazily on the ice floe, numbering five or six.

Seals, being mammals, would need to be on the ice floes if they were nurturing pups.

But clearly, this group of seals didn't have pups,

it seemed they were just coming ashore to rest.

Species: Grey Seal.

Level: 8.

Qi-Blood: 1523.

Endurance: 91.

Strength: 63.

Defense: 59.

Speed: 51.

With a glance, Su Lin saw the numerical attributes of the seals.

The strength of this batch of seals wasn't very great.

They usually fed on small fishes and shrimps from the ocean, and their fighting capabilities were also weak.

Taking them on one by one would not be an issue for Su Lin.

But still, he did not make a move.

Because the seal was too close to the edge of the ice layer that had been broken open by the sea,

If I acted hastily and the seal escaped, that would be a minor issue,

but if I were not careful and fell into the sea, there would really be a spectacle to watch.

Although Su Lin's lungs had been developed by the Potential Potion, allowing him to go five or six minutes without needing to breathe,

He chose not to take that risk,

It was better to be stable and safe.

This was Xiao Hui's first time coming to the ice layer, clearly very excited.

But without the leader's command, it did not disturb the group of seals.

Instead, it hopped and jumped on the ice layer,

and came to another broken part of the ice layer, sticking out its tongue to lick and drink the seawater.

Xiao Hui was an Arctic Wolf and also belonged to the land-based Wolf Clan,

It could not directly drink the seawater due to its high salt content.

After a few sips, the taste was too salty, and it stopped drinking.

But Xiao Hui, lying on the ice,

noticed quite a few fish swimming in the seawater underneath the ice layer.

"Aoow!"

Xiao Hui reached out its paw and tried to scoop up a few, but didn't manage to catch any.

It was so frustrated that it couldn't help but howl softly twice.

The howling also caused the nearby seals to look over.

The seals rarely saw Arctic Wolves come to the ice layer,

so their small eyes were very curious about these two bold hunters who had suddenly intruded.

Su Lin paid no attention to the gaze of the seals, and came over to where Xiao Hui was.

He looked at the opening in the ice layer and the fish swimming below.

Su Lin's eyesight and reaction were much faster than Xiao Hui's.

Seeing a fish swim by the opening in the ice layer, he fiercely swiped with his claw.

The sharp Wolf Claw plunged into the seawater, stirring up whirlpools.

The seawater was warm, making Su Lin feel quite comfortable.

However, the softness of the water also gave him a sense of resistance.

Rip!

Su Lin also missed,

but he cut open the back of the fish, and blood scattered in all directions.

The fish of the North Arctic Ocean were all very fierce and agile,

so missing them was within expectations.

Tearing open the fish's scales and releasing the scent of blood attracted many fish from under the ice layer.

But these fish were all very agile, and even with many coming over,

Xiao Hui extended its paws several times but also missed every time,

leaving it no choice but to watch helplessly.

Having reincarnated as the Wolf Queen, Su Lin had not really eaten fish before.

She was indeed curious about what fish would taste like to a wolf's palate.

This made Su Lin get serious.

He gestured to Xiao Hui to stop the random scooping and to stay alert on the side,

to prevent any sneak attacks from other animals.

Meanwhile, Su Lin,

with his Wolf Eyes emitting a faint green glow, focused intently on the fish swimming below the ice layer opening.

His enhanced front right paw was ready to spring into action.

Soon,

an Arctic Salmon about forty to fifty centimeters long swam over, following the scent of the spreading blood.

This Arctic Salmon weighed about seven or eight jin,

enough to make one four or five parts full.

When the Arctic Salmon swam closest to Su Lin, he swung his right paw fiercely.

Into the water,

it created several currents and whirlpools,

moving at extreme speed,

the sharp Wolf Claw fiercely pierced the fish's scales, plunging into the Arctic Salmon's body.

But the Arctic Salmon was very fierce and, despite being almost pierced by the Wolf Claw, struggled violently.

In a frenzy,

it freed itself from Su Lin's grasp.

However, the Arctic Salmon was already wounded, and its swimming speed had slowed down considerably.

Su Lin struck again with his paw, piercing into the body of the Arctic Salmon,

Even though the Arctic Salmon tried to resist, it ultimately ran out of strength.

Dragging it along with the seawater,

Su Lin pulled the fish out of the water.

This scene,

caused several seals looking this way from a distance to flash surprise in their eyes.

Seals were much smarter than the Wolf Clan, and their understanding of nature was naturally deeper.

Originally,

it was rare for Arctic Wolves to come hunting on the ice layer.

But what they had not expected was that this robust Arctic Wolf would fish at the ice layer opening.

And actually managed to catch the fish.

This caused a group of seals to have eyes full of admiration and surprise.
