NOVEL WEB Chapter 279 Consuming Ink Blood Caltrop Fruit.
Now that Siberia has been acquired as a territory, the wolf pack's domain was divided into three areas!
The first area is undoubtedly the Land of Adventure guarded by Little Lone Wolf, which has water and grass rich in pure energy, capable of sustaining tens of thousands of large herbivorous species, and producing hundreds of energy fruits each year, making it a blessed land for the rapid expansion of the wolf pack!
Su Lin has treated the Land of Adventure as the rear base for the wolf pack.
If, during the Dark Era, the wolf pack truly faced defeat in their struggle for dominance, they could still retreat to the Land of Adventure and gain a much-needed respite.
Therefore, during this period, Su Lin also sent Sander to procure a batch of the strongest construction materials to build some defense works in the Land of Adventure.
The second area was naturally the territory where Su Lin currently resides!
This territory is located in the warmest and most habitable region of the Arctic, but due to two terrifying blizzards and a devastating rat tide, it has become deathly quiet.
Now, with the main force of the wolf pack relocating here and constructing over eighty defensive structures and defensive palaces on the slopes of Shangu,
this territory has become the starting point for the wolf pack's formal march toward world domination. Stationed here, the main forces of the wolf pack can conquer the world in the Dark Era or defend the Arctic Tundra if needed.
As for the third area, it is naturally the newly obtained 800-plus-li Siberia Plains!
Su Lin has only stationed a small part of the wolf pack's forces on this territory for now.
This includes Vincent, the Ferocious Falcon, the Fox Wolf, the One-Eyed Wolf, and the Warm Bear, each led hundreds from their respective tribes, with Vincent leading the largest group of humans, directly commanding two field corps.
Su Lin dispatched them there to get a preliminary understanding of the species and resources within these 800-plus-li of Siberian territory. Also, to make contact with humans to see what problems had arisen within human society during this time.
After all, this is a plain of more than one million square kilometers. Even for Great Russia, which is vast and rich in resources, such an easy surrender is somewhat abnormal.
Su Lin felt that there must have been major issues within human society in this period.
Otherwise, Great Russia, known for its fighting nation ethos, would not have simply allocated more than 800 li of plains to the wolf pack.
Even though Su Lin showed dominating battle power in his thousands of miles journey into the Siberia War Zone with the Purple Lynx, it was still the case.
In the years following the great changes of the world, various mutated creatures constantly emerged, yet humans still rightfully held the title of rulers of Earth!
This also shows that there must be unimaginably strong hidden cards among the major powers of humankind!
Nuclear weapons, perfect-level mech armor, version 2.0 of the seventh generation warplanes, superionic defense cannons, and so on—are only the ones revealed. There are surely true weapon technologies that remain hidden.
Even if Su Lin's own force, nearly ten thousand variant species of the wolf pack, were to engage in a genuine life-or-death battle with humans, they might not necessarily come out on top.
After all, human technological weapons have gone through several generations of updates and can now injure king-level mutant creatures.
But the truly top-end battle power within the wolf pack is still too scarce!
With this in mind, Su Lin let out a low howl, signaling Cousin to once again distribute some Mad Thunder Skyhawk flesh to Red-tailed, Wolf Sister, Night Hawk, Arctic Yan-Ou, Charm Fox, and a host of variant and new species with the most monstrous potential for growth.
As the Dark Era continues to approach, it's essential for the wolf pack to produce several new species formidable enough to deter others.
For the Red-tailed, Charm Fox, Wolf Sister, Night Hawk, and Xiao Hui, who have the chance to evolve into new species, Su Lin intends to increase the allocation of resources to them.
As for the Arctic Yan-Ou, which has already metamorphosed into a new species, Su Lin hopes it can travel even further down the road of mundane metamorphosis.
Additionally, during this time, Red-tailed's spiritual power has taken root deep in the mind of Invincible Fierce Tiger.
Now, if Red-tailed wished, with some cost, it could erase the will of Invincible Fierce Tiger.
However, Su Lin did not instruct Red-tailed to do so.
After all, the monster growth potential of Invincible Fierce Tiger is second to none.
Looking across the entire wolf pack, aside from Charm Fox, which could match Invincible Fierce Tiger, the others are somewhat lacking.
Even Arctic Yan-Ou, Little Lone Wolf, Red-tailed, and Fox Wolf are no exceptions.
That Invincible Fierce Tiger could evolve into a new species over a year ago shows his monstrous aptitude!
Therefore, having a monstrous potential enforcer capable of unlimited growth is far better than a mere walking corpse!
Moreover, ever since he was saved by the Wolf King last time, Invincible Fierce Tiger has become gradually more composed.
Gone are the pride and arrogance that saw everything beneath him, and his sense of belonging to the wolf pack has deepened.

The flesh of the Mad Thunder Skyhawk, originally around fifty or sixty tons, after such a long period of consumption, has now been reduced to less than ten tons.
This time only two tons were kept in reserve for emergencies.
The rest was directly distributed to Invincible Fierce Tiger, Red-tailed, Charm Fox, Wolf Sister, Night Hawk, Arctic Yan-Ou, and Xiao Hui—they each received almost a thousand kilos.
Su Lin also awarded each of them three Black Square Seal Fragments!
Such generous rewards made Red-tailed, Xiao Hui, Night Hawk, and the others excitedly howl and chirp in appreciation.
As for his cousin, Su Lin also rewarded her with three pieces of Black Fruit Yan Gao Lan and three petals of the Ice Mountain Lotus.
His cousin had limited potential for growth and had an extremely low rate of absorption and transformation when it came to the pure energy contained in the flesh of the Mad Thunder Skyhawk and the fragments of the Black Square Seal.
Therefore, it was better to directly consume the fruit of the Black Fruit Yan Gao Lan and the petals of the Ice Mountain Lotus,
as these were the essence of exotic flowers and rare herbs, which were relatively easier to absorb compared to the flesh of new species and fragments of the Black Square Seal.
Moreover, the essence of exotic flowers and rare herbs had a helpful effect on Variant Species in assisting the breaking of internal shackles.
Giving these rewards to his cousin was far more useful than the flesh of new species and fragments of the Black Square Seal.
After distributing all the rewards in an orderly manner, Su Lin returned to the palace in Shangu.
In this past month, not only the wolf pack but also his Evolution Points had been growing rapidly.
He had originally had over a thousand Black Square Seal Fragments, but he had consumed more than two hundred of them, acquiring tens of thousands of strands of Evolution Essence.
A few days ago, the Exotic Cuscuta Seed had evolved into a new species and moved to the Siberia Plains with the Warm Bear, also leaving behind a part of its main body for Su Lin.
The pure energy contained in exotic flowers and rare herbs was often much greater than what Variant Species had.
This had been clearly proven by the Ice Mountain Lotus, Black Fruit Yan Gao Lan, and the Tendril when it was still an exotic grass.
Exotic Cuscuta Seed, which had evolved into a new species, naturally contained significantly more pure energy and Essence of Plants than the flesh of the Gold-patterned Travel Rat and Mad Thunder Skyhawk.
After returning to the palace, Su Lin took out three branches of Exotic Cuscuta Seed Grass and a stretch of the main body, which was over six meters long from a secret chamber specially built by Sander.
Though short, the main body of the Exotic Cuscuta Seed emitted a dense ink-black fluorescence,
which was several dozen times more intense than the faint glow emitted by the branches of the Exotic Cuscuta Seed Grass.
Upon taking out the branches and the main body of the Exotic Cuscuta Seed, Su Lin's mysterious Mysterious Devouring Power inside his wolf body also became somewhat restless and eager.
In this eagerness and restlessness, Su Lin didn't hesitate at all; he directly took an Evolution Potion and waited for the chill to spread throughout his wolf body. Then he began to consume a branch of the Exotic Cuscuta Seed Grass.
The Exotic Cuscuta Seed had evolved into a new species, but the extreme bitterness had not disappeared from the branch.
On the contrary, not only was there a bitter taste but also a burning spiciness, a combination that could not be offset even by the power of the Origin.
This was apparently an evolutionary defense of the Exotic Cuscuta Seed to prevent being consumed by other powerful species.
But for Su Lin, who had undergone two genetic metamorphoses and endured the pain of countless Strengthening Serums, this bitterness and burning spiciness were not taken to heart.
Su Lin bit off three to four meters of the Exotic Cuscuta Seed Grass Branch in one go, enduring the bitterness and burning sensation. After chewing a couple of times, he gulped down the branch whole.
After swallowing it,
it didn't take long for the branch of Exotic Cuscuta Seed to transform into vast energy and Evolution Points under the Mysterious Devouring Force.
A light grey message prompt then appeared before his eyes.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for consuming Ink Blood Tendril Branches, gaining 210 strands of Evolution Essence."
Just three to four meters of Tendril Branches, after being devoured, provided far more than just a light grey message prompt.
A series of twenty or thirty light grey message prompts flashed in front of Su Lin.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for consuming Ink Blood Tendril Branches, gaining 209 strands of Evolution Essence."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for consuming Ink Blood Tendril Branches, gaining 208 strands of Evolution Essence."
....
Just a three to four meter segment of the Exotic Cuscuta Seed Grass Branch provided Su Lin with several thousand strands of Evolution Essence, causing his light blue wolf eyes to flash with captivating brilliance.
He had speculated that the Exotic Cuscuta Seed, having evolved into a new species, would provide a lot of pure energy and Evolution Points, but he had not anticipated it would be to such an extent!
Therefore, enticed by the massive amount of Evolution Points, Su Lin once again devoured the remaining branches of the Exotic Cuscuta Seed!
No! The Ink Blood Caltrop Fruit!
The original vibrant green appearance and fluorescence of the Tendril had indeed already transformed into a color akin to black blood.
During consumption, the intense bitterness and the burning sensation echoed on Su Lin's palate.
However, these bitter and burning sensations were nothing compared to the swirling pure energy within his body and the series of light grey Evolution Points prompts that popped up before his eyes.
Soon, Su Lin completely consumed a branch of the Ink Blood Caltrop Fruit that was over ten meters long, gaining over 20,000 strands of Evolution Essence and once again reaching the threshold for advancement.
His wolf body was stretched to the limit by the pure energy contained in the Tendril Branches of the Ink Blood Caltrop Fruit!
But just as the mysterious Evolution Energy was about to descend, a dense silver light suddenly radiated from Su Lin's massive wolf head!
At the same time, the vast energy that had been raging within his wolf body rapidly surged towards his skull!
