After Su Lin arrived, his presence, akin to the might of the heavens, swept fiercely across the area within a radius of three to four hundred miles without restraint.

His sharp senses had long noticed the fleeing New Humans, but he did not regard these humans as worth his attention.

From his vantage point, he scrutinized his Wolf Pack that had expanded to over a million strong, realizing that, thanks to the diverse species and abundant resources of the Siberia Plains, the pack had achieved unprecedented growth over the past three months.

What had originally been a pack of only about fifty thousand had ballooned by twenty or thirty times, reaching well over a million in number.

And with a single sweep of his gaze, he also noticed that there were not a few among the Wolf Pack who possessed the combat power of King Beasts.

This made him quite satisfied.

After inspecting for a moment, accompanied by a spiritual wave of Wolf Howl, the over a million pack members gradually ceased their howling and all lifted their heads, looking towards their king.

The older members of the pack all had respect, fervor, and faith in their eyes.

As for the members who had recently joined the pack, they also carried a mix of curiosity and awe.

Because the aura of the Wolf King atop the hill was so overwhelmingly mighty, even Exotic Beasts and King Beasts nearing King Level felt an oppressive sense of an imminent storm.

Even the two or three dozen auras trailing behind the Wolf King made them feel a heavy sense of threat.

The creatures accompanying Su Lin were, remarkably, the top Exotic Beasts from the mountains of the Southern Territory.

Especially the Silver Ringed Pit Viper, Black Rat, Bai Die, and Evil Tiger.

These four beasts were not to be underestimated in their combat prowess and could be ranked amongst the very forefront within the various factions of the Wolf Pack.

After the entire Wolf Pack had quieted down, the spiritual wave surged once again,

and Su Lin signaled for members of Beta Wolf rank and above, such as Red-tailed, Night Hawk, Arctic Tern, Warm Bear, Xiao Bai, Ice Bear, Sander, Vincent, Tiffany, and others, to step forward and report on the battle conditions and expansion figures for these past three months.

In his previous survey, Su Lin had noticed the absence of many familiar faces.

Xiao Hui, Ferocious Falcon, Purple Eyes, White Bear, among others, were nowhere to be seen,

and even for Fox Wolf, Black-striped Wolf, Golden Crystal Fox, Charm Fox and others, he detected some Origin injuries within them.

It was apparent that the battle against the Mutated Creatures of the Siberia Plains had not been an easy victory for the Wolf Pack.

But this was within Su Lin’s expectations.

When stepping into the Siberia Plains, he knew that some members of the pack would inevitably be buried in this vast and boundless land.

However, what he did not anticipate was the disappearance of Xiao Hui!

Xiao Hui had followed him since his rebirth as a Wolf, and was even a Variant Species from before the great changes to the earth, with growth potential second to none.

It was only due to its laziness and seemingly slow demeanor that its advancement pace was far behind that of Little Lone Wolf, Red-tailed, Charm Fox, and others.

Yet Xiao Hui was still one of his most trusted confidants.

So when he realized that Xiao Hui was missing, the satisfaction and relief that Su Lin felt vanished by a great deal.

However, he did not show any sign of this, as some matters are destined to be experienced.

One cannot rule an army with kindness!

As the Dark Era gradually approaches, the Wolf Pack may lose more members in the impending strife among the Myriad Tribes!

Because the fight will no longer be against alliances of Mutated Creatures temporarily formed, but rather against established and powerful tribes!

So Su Lin forcefully suppressed the fluttering in his heart and began to have the Beta Wolf-ranked and higher members report in detail on the battle conditions and expansion of their respective numbers during this period.

As for Sander and the others, they had long since organized a report that outlined the battle conditions and expansion details of the Human Faction during this period and submitted it to Su Lin.

Unfortunately, the other factions of the Wolf Pack lacked Sander’s foresight, resulting in the situation regarding the battle report and debriefings to drag on intermittently for three to four hours.

During this time, over a million species within the Wolf Pack waited calmly on the spot, with the formation of the older members showing no disorder, while the newly joined members displayed some minor chaos.

This demonstrated the downside of the pack’s overly rapid expansion.

The allegiance of the new members to the Wolf Pack was still too weak.

Often, without the constraints of command and the deterrence of force, they would be scattered and disorderly.

Su Lin took note of these minor shortcomings but did not take them to heart.

After all, these shortcomings were trivial compared to the strength gained from the expansion of the Wolf Pack.

A sense of belonging requires time to develop, and as these members spend longer with the Wolf Pack, their sense of allegiance will naturally strengthen.

Only then will the Wolf Pack truly become an awe-inspiring, steely force.

Soon after the battle report was complete, Su Lin had a general understanding of the status of each faction within the Wolf Pack.

The Flying Bird Tribe under Arctic Tern was currently the most numerous, and even Red-tailed was transmitting through spiritual waves about the uncharacteristically bellicose past three months of the Arctic Tern, showing a disregard for orders.

This made Su Lin take special notice of the Arctic Tern, who stood silently and composedly to one side.

Truth be told, Su Lin had never really believed that this creature, which had joined the Wolf Pack in the Land of Adventure with a Strength Attribute of Level Twenty-something, was genuinely benevolent.

But Su Lin was different from Red-tailed—he didn’t mind Arctic Tern holding back its true capabilities!

He even didn’t mind if Arctic Tern occasionally ignored the commands of the Wolf Queen Red-tailed!

After all, anyone would balk at the kind of commands Red-tailed issued, eagerly aiming to consume the strength of the Arctic Tern’s Flying Bird Tribe.

As long as ones truly sell their lives for the Wolf Pack, fighting on the front lines, Su Lin can tolerate his subordinates having their own personalities and pride!

But should anyone harbor undue ambitions in the future, they couldn’t blame Su Lin for being cold and ruthless.

```

Because a clan can only have one true core!

At this moment, Arctic Yan-Ou, Invincible Fierce Tiger, Night Hawk, One-Eyed Wolf, and others suddenly felt a thread of killing intent surging forth from the Wolf King.

This made those who were awaiting their moment of glory, already agitated to the point of losing composure, instantly adopt a solemn demeanor, tense their muscles, and hold their breath tightly, for fear any minor move could draw the Wolf King’s killing intent toward them.

Especially Arctic Yan-Ou, because its keen senses detected the fluctuations of Red-tailed’s Spiritual Soul Force,

It thought it was its previous actions and the overpowering strength of its subordinates that had displeased the Wolf King.

Therefore, it was the most terrified.

However, fortunately, the faint threads of killing intent from the Wolf King were fleeting and were followed by a comforting mental wave that eased the tensions of the many members present.

Next,

Su Lin gave his affirmation for their expansion and conquest during this period.

Particularly Arctic Tern, Sander, One-Eye, Red-tailed, Invincible Fierce Tiger, King-level Wild Buffalo, Night Hawk, Charm Fox, and others.

Because, undoubtedly, in this continuous bloody slaughter and expansion lasting over three months, their performances had been the most outstanding.

After that,

As dusk fell and the Obi River reflected the magnificent sunset, there was a stir among the many waiting members of the Wolf Pack when suddenly,

A clear and long howl, mixed with a mighty surge of spiritual waves, exploded once again between heaven and earth!

This wolf howl, bolstered by the power of Soul Force, echoed within a hundred to two hundred miles.

Upon hearing this wolf howl, all the members of the Wolf Pack raised their heads and looked excitedly once more toward the proud silhouette atop the hill,

Because the real reward ceremony was about to begin!

The Wolf Pack did not have the many tedious formalities of humans,

So after Sander, Vincent, Tiffany, and other humans helped to fully tally the battle achievements and numbers expanded, the reward ceremony began directly!

The reward started with the Wolf Faction!

Without a doubt, the Wolf Faction and the Wolfess Faction had always been the core strength of the Wolf Pack.

This time, One-Eyed Wolf’s military exploits during warfare and expansion were extraordinary.

The number of wolves under its command reached a significant milestone of nearly one hundred thousand, and even after splitting off more than thirty thousand wolfesses, there remained over seventy thousand wolves.

Additionally, throughout these past three months, nearly a quarter of the tribe had evolved into Variant Species.

Now, One-Eyed Wolf commanded nearly twenty thousand Variant Species Wolf Clan members; out of which, about five thousand were Level Ten and above, eight hundred were Level Fifteen and above, and over one hundred were Level Twenty and above.

One could say that the Wolf Faction had completely transformed.

Far stronger than when they first stepped out of the Siberia Plains!

And in the final battle, it was One-Eyed Wolf that led the charge, securing victory in one of the battlefields.

Therefore, Su Lin did not delve into One-Eyed Wolf’s failure to heed Red-tailed’s command at the end, and promoted One-Eyed Wolf to a High Ranking Lead Wolf, becoming the third after Little Lone Wolf and Wolf Father to hold such a rank in the Wolf Clan!

Their status was second only to the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen!

When the reward was announced, the entire Wolf Faction let out a unified howl!

A howl from tens of thousands of wolves, that exploded throughout the world.

One-Eyed Wolf, whom Su Lin had not discovered earlier, had indeed average potential for growth,

But when truly placed on the battlefield, its ferocity, brutality, and ruthlessness in controlling the Wolf Pack propelled it to soar high into the skies.

Currently, One-Eyed Wolf’s strength had also reached the peak of Level Twenty-Five, and it harbored an exceptionally vigorous Pure Energy within its body, making it a rare match amongst its peers.

Still, this strength was considered somewhat too low.

Consequently, Su Lin bestowed upon One-Eyed Wolf thirty King-level Snow Cedar Fruits and twenty thousand jin of New Species Blood Food, hoping that One-Eyed Wolf’s strength will ascend to the next level.

After One-Eyed Wolf’s excited yelp of gratitude, the distribution of rewards for the rest of the Wolf Faction continued in succession.

Apart from One-Eyed Wolf, the Wolf Faction also included three large wolf packs and a Long-tailed Wolf.

It goes without saying that Long-tailed Wolf, being a Beta Wolf like One-Eyed Wolf, also expanded by one to two thousand wolves during this time, just not enough to ascend to Lead Wolf.

The other three were the Wolf Kings; they all possessed the strength of Level Twenty-Six to Twenty-Seven,

Su Lin designated them by name and promoted these three along with Long-tailed Wolf to High Beta Wolves within the Wolf Faction.

In the future, with significant military achievements, they could be promoted to Lead Wolves.

Their designations were Green-eyed Wolf, Gold-patterned Wolf, and Scarred Wolf respectively.

Apart from the four High Beta Wolves, there were successively many Battle Wolves of notable military achievement promoted to ordinary Beta Wolves.

And they were rewarded with Blood Food ranging from two hundred to two thousand jin, with ordinary Beta Wolves receiving the chance to choose a mate, and High Beta Wolves having the opportunity to select two!

This aroused an uncontrollable desire and excitement in the eyes of the remaining members of the Wolf Faction,

For Pure Blood Food and the right to mate are two privileges most coveted by all species!

Now, by reaching the status of Beta Wolf, one could gain it all!

Hence, within the Wolf Faction, the eyes of many strong Variant Wolves sparked with an irrepressible longing for the status of Beta Wolf.
