Chapter 21: Territory Expansion

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The hunting team erupted with extreme speed and ran towards the cave without caring about their strength.

Behind them, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and dust flew. The two huge creatures were constantly colliding.

The scene just now shocked Su Ming greatly. He originally thought that he was already a creature that had evolved relatively quickly.

Unexpectedly, there was always someone stronger. The strength of the creatures before him had already approached the supernatural level.

Moreover, there wasn’t just one creature. There were actually two different creatures.

The big brown bear had at least one kind of mutation ability. It could summon rocks to cover the surface of its arm. Not only could it protect itself, but it could also increase the effect of the attack.

The other golden eagle also had a mutated ability. Its attack should be to use its sharp claws to stimulate lightning, but Su Ming still did not know how well it worked for defending.

From the constant trembling from behind, it could be seen that the other party’s strength was definitely not inferior to that brown bear.

Su Ming was somewhat regretful. If he had been a little closer to them, the technology interface would have displayed the values of these two creatures.

In this way, he could also better understand the specific strength of these two creatures.

However, thinking back to the scene just now, if he dared to approach these two creatures, he would probably be unable to completely retreat.

Even though its body had already been strengthened three times, its level was still at the Ordinary Realm and was unable to resist the mutation ability of the two.

If he could not evolve again or devour the Fractured Weed, Su Ming would not have the strength to fight them head-on.

At this moment, he still had to find the mutated plants he needed as soon as possible and increase his strength.

While Su Ming was thinking, the four wolves also returned to the wolf den without care.

Father Wolf was still alright. It had also experienced many things and its expression was still relatively calm. It was only slightly surprised by the strength of the brown bears.

It did not expect the other party’s combat strength to have increased so much after a few months. Father Wolf originally thought that with its current body and the strength of Su Ming and his siblings, it could defeat one of the brown bears.

It seemed that it had been too optimistic. The brown bears were still ridiculously powerful.

As for the other two members, Su Hui and Su Yi had yet to recover from the scene just now.

Su Hui’s eyes were mixed with excitement and shock. This was the first time it had encountered such a powerful creature in its life. It was even taller than Brother Su Ming and was actually powerful enough to shake the ground.

It wondered if it could one day reach the same level as them if it trained hard.

Su Hui looked at itself and then at Brother Su Ming beside it.

In the end, it nodded forcefully.

It had incomparable trust in Brother Su Ming. Su Hui believed that as long as it followed Su Ming’s footsteps, it would be able to reach the level of the two huge beasts.

At that time, it would have to challenge them and see who was stronger.

Beside it, Su Yi was also shocked by the scene just now, but it had thought further ahead. Su Yi had seen the lightning used by the golden eagle and the rocks used by the huge bear.

These were all abilities that wolves like them did not have. This indirectly proved that the other party’s evolution level far exceeded theirs.

Su Yi originally thought that the wolf pack was already the greatest overlord of this area. Now, it realized that was not the case.

In the past few days, after evolving into a large wolf, it was still somewhat complacent that its strength had increased a lot. However, today’s situation had splashed a bucket of cold water on it, making it pay attention to its strength and the strength of its species again.

After thinking it through, it looked at Su Ming’s position. It had to work harder to catch up to Brother Su Ming. How could it be proud just because it had some achievements?

Putting down the prey in his mouth, Su Ming noticed the eyes of his two siblings. It seemed that the battle they had just witnessed had a big impact on them. The two of them looked at him very seriously and Su Ming could tell from their expressions that they had expectations for him.

Su Ming smiled. With motivation, they could also train harder. He believed that after today, the improvement of the three wolves would be even more obvious.

After calming down, the hunting team finished storing the deer they had hunted. Father Wolf also got up and communicated with Mother Wolf.

Compared to the hunting team that returned late, the guiding team that was in charge of teaching the little wolf cubs’ survival skills had long returned to the cave.

Today’s harvest for the guiding team was also not bad. Mother Wolf and Fallen Leaf were estimated to be able to teach the wolf cubs how to survive and hunt in the wilderness in another two weeks. Even the dumbest wolf cub would be able to learn all of this by then.

Just as Mother Wolf was imagining the scene of the wolves hunting together in the future, it saw a somewhat panicked hunting team return from outside the cave.

Mother Wolf was somewhat puzzled. What had happened to make the usually calm Father Wolf so anxious?

After Father Wolf approached, the two wolves communicated with their limbs, eyes, and wolf roars. Only then did Mother Wolf figure out the source of the loud bang in the depths of the forest in the afternoon.

According to Father Wolf’s later speculation, this should be their enemy. The territory of the brown bears had further expanded. Therefore, it mixed with the previous hunting ground of the wolf pack.

Why did the brown bears expand their territory?

There was only one reason.

That was because there simply wasn’t enough food. It had to be known that during the time when the wolves and the brown bears competed, the food supply was already insufficient for the two parties.

However, now, it had already been a few months since the wolves were forced to leave. Logically speaking, the number of herbivores should have increased again, and the food resources should also be enough for the brown bears. Why would they need to expand again at this time? After all, this would cause the other animals in the surroundings to be dissatisfied.

Unless their strength had increased greatly and their appetite had increased a lot, they would not make the decision to expand their territory.

Thinking of the huge brown bear just now, Father Wolf confirmed its guess.

Mother Wolf thought of the snow leopard from that day. It knew the strength of the wolf pack but still took the risk to steal the wolf cub. It must be because its original habitat and hunting ground had been occupied by the brown bears.

Helpless, when it was hungry and cold, it chose the wolf den close by. However, it was unlucky and did not estimate the time the main force of the wolf pack would return. Otherwise, it would really have succeeded.

Thinking of this, Mother Wolf was immediately furious. Its child had almost died because of this. It swore that the next time it encountered this snow leopard, it would definitely tear it into pieces.

After the two Alpha wolves discussed, Father Wolf calmly pondered for a moment and came to a shocking fact.

The brown bears had not only expanded their territory, but they were still expanding to this day.

In their previous hunt, they had not encountered any traces left behind by the brown bears. However, when they hunted again after five days, they saw the brown bear’s claw marks and even witnessed a battle between the brown bear and the golden eagle.

This proved that the strength of the brown bears had already expanded to the point where they did not care about the other animals.

Thinking of this, Father Wolf and Mother Wolf nodded and gathered all the members, prepared to transmit their conclusions to Su Ming and the other wolves.
