Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf

Even in a place like Shangu, constructing a palace did not take very long.

This defense-oriented grand palace had walls that were over sixty meters high, equipped with watchtowers and human-made firepower for air defense.

The living quarters within the palace walls were built according to the living habits of various species,

with the Wolf King residing in the most prominent central hall,

while Red-tailed, Xiao Hui, Night Hawk, Xiao Bai, Cousin, and Arctic Yan-Ou, among other lead wolves, had their quarters close to the Wolf King.

Compared to the previous wolf pack's residence in the dissolving cave, this palace offered more privacy for the Wolf King and the lead wolves.

As for the rest of the Beta Wolves, they didn't enjoy such good treatment and still lived together in small groups.

Moreover, as for Shangu, Sander had further fortified it.

The sheer cliffs surrounding the entirety of Shangu were once again covered with a layer of slick carbon block materials, rendering Shangu not only more impregnable but also smoother.

Aside from a narrow path mechanically carved out in the middle of Shangu, it was virtually impossible for other species to climb up from any other direction, akin to scaling the heavens.

Without air supremacy, even variant species of Level Twenty-something would have great difficulty reaching the top.

This significantly increased the security of the elite wolf pack dwelling in the mountain caves.

Besides the defensive palace atop Shangu, Sander and the Wolf King also agreed to mark off more than eighty permanent defense structures throughout the newly designated territory of over a hundred thousand square kilometers.

Over half of these defense structures were to be manned and inhabited by the human subordinates!

The rest were assigned to members of the other wolf pack divisions to station.

The locations for these defense structures were chosen for their treacherous terrain, ensuring that any human forces or other species would have to pay a price to overrun these fortifications.

All divisions within the wolf pack were still in the midst of a booming construction phase.

Wolf packs involved in construction?

If anyone had mentioned this before the drastic changes to heaven and earth, it would have been considered utterly unbelievable.

But after those momentous changes, such a scene, if captured by some death-defying human journalist and uploaded online, probably wouldn't cause much of a stir.

Because ever since those changes, the bizarre incidents that occurred had already reshaped people's worldviews and tolerance levels.

If there were mutated creatures now capable of speaking human language, it wouldn't surprise them in the least.

It's even possible that some mutated creatures like the Human-Skin Giant Tree in the tropical rainforest have already achieved this ability.

However, many mutated creatures that are capable of human speech might still choose not to use it.

Deep-rooted rejection and hostility exist between different species.

They are even less interested in using each other's languages for communication.

Additionally, during this period of construction by the wolf pack, Su Lin also broke through another level by consuming Black Square Seal Fragments.

He reached Level 26, and his overall strength took a significant leap forward!

Talent: Stealth (B-Level), Judgment (S-Level), Hunting (S-Level), Healing (S-Level), Celestial Wolf Howling Moon (S-Level), Light Protection (S+ Level).

Secret Technique: Bewildering Step.

At this moment, Su Lin thought to himself and brought up his current numerical attributes for another look.

The additional attribute points that came with his ascension to Level 26 were naturally added to his Speed.

This breakthrough brought Su Lin's Speed Value to surpass the three-thousand milestone,

and even without utilizing his Talent or Origin Power, his peak speed was now fourteen hundred meters per second.

This speed was four times the speed of sound, allowing almost three miles to be traversed in the blink of an eye each second; a frenzied sprint could cover nearly two hundred miles in a minute!

Such speed could truly be deemed divine, and if Su Lin wished, it was possible he could step directly from the Arctic to the Antarctic in just a few hours!

The vastness of the world was his to traverse and oversee with contempt.

After his promotion, Su Lin's wolf body had reached thirty-eight to thirty-nine meters, inching infinitely close to the forty-meter mark!

Wolf claws, fanged teeth, fur, flesh, limbs and more, all were significantly enhanced once again.

With his strength surging, Su Lin would undoubtedly have a much easier time if he were to fight the purple lynx again.

At this moment, he stood on the observation deck of the Shangu palace, high atop looking over his newly demarcated territory spanning over one hundred thousand square kilometers.

Sander, who had just finished delegating the next stages of construction to his human subordinates, stood beside the Wolf King, detailing the news and acquisitions he had gathered from human society.

In his recent visit to human society, Sander had taken virtually all materials, including the bones, scales, and talons of the Mad Thunder Skyhawk and the Gold-patterned Traveling Rat, as well as five hundred kilograms of Mad Thunder Skyhawk flesh.

The resources gained in exchange were far more than just construction materials containing carbon block elements.

They also included potions that could sustain the Wolf Pack for more than half a year, various technological products the Wolf Pack required, dozens of first-class mech armor suits, hundreds of second-rate mech armor suits, and the latest super ionic defense cannons, among others.

These materials had once again significantly enhanced the overall strength of the Wolf Pack.

Night Hawk and Xiao Hui, who led the two major trusted aides, had been equipped with mechs.

With mech enhancement, they truly became two forces that could dominate the hunting fields and possessed a modern sci-fi essence as mech armored beasts.

The super ionic defense cannons that were acquired were then equipped at the palace walls' firepower points,

These cannons possess tremendous power, and Sander had purchased them at a great expense, acquiring only eight!

Just these eight canons cost over twenty billion Alliance Currency, which highlighted the preciousness of the super ionic defense cannons.

The eight super ionic defense cannons could effortlessly break through the defenses of king-level mutant creatures; even high king-level mutant creatures would suffer some damage under these cannons!

Therefore, with the addition of these eight super ionic defense cannons, the defensive power of Shangu palace had greatly increased!

Beyond that, one of the most significant achievements of Sander's excursion was the procurement of over a million tons of reserve food.

This was per a specific instruction from the Wolf King.

Over a million tons of reserve food were precious in the Siberian region, which was hit by the cold wave.

Consequently, such massive procurement caused the price of grain and meat to skyrocket across the Siberian region.

The over a million tons of reserve food were stored in batches within three large caves.

Inside these caves, Sander had used excavation tools to hollow them out, lining them with moisture-proof materials.

Could there truly be something in the Eighteen Layers of Hell?

For a moment, the workers felt a chill run down their spines.

What they once revered as a sacred temple now seemed sinister and terrifying.

....

While peculiar incidents were happening in the West, quiet was far from restored in the distant East and places like the Black Continent!

In the Kunlun Mountains, a huge golden compass rose into the sky, enveloping the entire mountain range!

In the Changbai Mountains, travelers claimed to have seen the Heaven Pond Sea Monster reappear in the human world, a dragon-shaped sea monster spanning a thousand kilometers riding the clouds!

At the Egyptian Pyramids, the once immovable Sphinx's eyes suddenly burst into rays of golden light, and even within the pyramids themselves, mournful howls resonated!

....

Yet these anomalies lasted only a brief time before dissipating.

All regions seemed to return to tranquility at that moment.

The events that had just transpired appeared to be illusions.

The source of all these stimuli, the ice crystal statue inside the mysterious iceberg, returned to normal,

No longer did any light flicker; it looked like an ordinary and extensively fractured ice sculpture.

But only the rapid growth of the Ice Mountain Lotuses, the various exotic flowers and rare herbs, and the changes in the Kinai Mountain Wolf were evidence that what happened a moment ago was no illusion!

The once grey-black furred Kinai Mountain Wolf had undergone earth-shattering changes!

Limbs, body, bones all became stronger and more robust.

It also had countless white lines on its back, which occasionally shimmered with white fluorescence.

However, before the fluorescence faded and the Kinai Mountain Wolf could observe its transformation, it assumed a highly loyal and respectful stance toward the ice crystal statue.
