Attibute Panel: Evolution from an Artic Wolf

7 - The wit of a wolf

Luke didn't stop and continued to beat this big Reindeer. 

"[2.80 evolution points gained for eating Arctic Reindeer!"] 

"[2.60 evolution points gained for eating Arctic Reindeer!]" 

"[2.40 evolution points gained for eating Arctic Reindeer!]" 

... 

The Arctic Reindeer carcass provided Luke with great evolutionary value. 

After devouring about three to four kilograms of arctic reindeer meat, Luke already felt seventy percent full. But he didn't keep eating. 

After all, this is an icy, snowy field, so there's no telling what dangers he might encounter in the surrounding area. 

If he eats too much, it could now play against him when he moves. 

Right now, Luke already has over 75 evolutionary points, just a little bit away from being able to evolve again. And that is definitely necessary to meet new goals, but now was not the time to think about that. 

The first thing he has to do is to go back to the cave, and he wasn't planning to leave this big meal in this place. Therefore, after checking once again that there were no enemies hiding in the vicinity, he dragged the reindeer with great effort back. 

This Arctic reindeer weighs no more than 160 kilograms. With Luke's current body, it is still very laborious to drag him back to the cave. 

If he is honest, he cannot drag it with his current strength as that would be impossible for him. But soon, using human wisdom, he found two large branches of what he appreciates to be a large bush. 

The branches of the bushes are wide and if placed on the ground underneath the reindeer carcass, it can make Luke's journey easier due to friction. 

This is wit, wisdom and intelligence in one action. 

Now that he thinks about it much more deeply, even if his crazy father came along, it would be difficult to get the reindeer back to the cave between the two of them. 　　
　　
After all, this is not a short trip and the weather doesn't make it any easier to move. 

After finishing moving the carcass over the long branches, Luke slowly moved in the direction of the cave. 

But at that moment, without Luke noticing, a feline with gray and white spots on its body smelled the blood left by the dead reindeer. 　　 

Like prey, that animal followed the blood all the way, and in the distance he saw Luke dragging the reindeer away. 

After confirming that Luke was just a lone wolf out hunting, this feline animal gained confidence. It opened its mouth, revealing its sharp fangs. 

This animal staring at Luke was a lynx! 

Lynxes are considered cats.

Under the same size, cats are almost invincible kings. 

Today's lynx is about the same size as Luke, with dense light gray hair and several unevenly distributed dark gray spots. 

The lynx looks very much like a cat, a very large cat with much sharper teeth. 

The pointed ears looked a bit like the ears of the elves in some comics, but this aspect gave the lynx an intimidating appearance. 

The limbs are thick and strong, they are good at climbing and swimming, and are very resistant to hunger. They can remain quiet in one place for several days without fear of intense cold and are stealthy. 

More assassins that don't move and kill in one hit can be compared.

And now the lynx also creeps quietly on the bushes and grass, waiting for the opportunity to attack Luke. 

He has been starving for two days and his stomach is growling for food, and even in his situation the faint smell of blood is already very attractive, making his desire grow for the rich food is right in front of him. 

But he was smart, and that intelligence made him still able to suppress his restlessness to pounce on Luke. 

Luke struggled to drag the reindeer carcass, but an accident happened to him. Due to the dragging force he was exerting, because the snow was a little denser his paws came together and he lost his balance and fell straight to the ground. 

With this opportunity, the lynx that had been crawling all this time, began to accelerate its advance rapidly, leaping from the bushes closer and closer to Luke. 

The lynx's fangs had already revealed themselves and a bit of saliva was dripping from its mouth, ready to strike at any moment. 
　
The moment Luke lifted his head from the snow, a shiver ran through his body and he looked at a fucking intimidating cat crawling towards his direction. 

"Holy shit, a fucking Lynx!" 

Luke opened his eyes wide and when his gaze focused on that figure he saw it running towards his direction.
　　
His attribute panel at this point had already appeared in front of him. 　
　　
"[...Species: Lynx (Female) 

Level: 4 

Esper Energy: 328 

Endurance: 28 

Strength: 49 

Defense: 19 

Speed: 65...]" 

A level 4 fucking lynx. 

One level higher than Luke. 

Generally speaking, the lynx will not take the initiative to provoke wolves under any circumstances. 

After all, wolves are bigger than lynxes, and wolves have greater endurance and defense. 

If the lynx cannot be hunted in a short time, it will definitely fall at a disadvantage due to energy. 

They are natural hunters, not fighters who fight head-on! 

But this is not a normal situation, first of all Luke is alone and he is a wolf cub. 

And this lynx's speed has reached a staggering 65 points, even not much worse than Luke who specifically boosted that attribute.

At this point, the lynx jumped towards him quickly, his eyes danced with cold intent, and his fierce face was worthy of a hunter.

His intention was to kill Luke with a single attack.
"Roarrrrrr!" 　 

With a furious roar, Luke readied his position to enter the fray. 

But even so, his movements were much slower as the lynx had done a good job being stealthy.　　 

Luke's body, who had prepared for the fight, was struck by a lynx's front paw, and the sharp claws instantly pierced his skin. 

Luke felt a stabbing pain, but this same pain made him react much faster and distance himself from the enemy. 　 

He knew this would be the first life and death fight he would face since he was reborn as a wolf! 

The one he would remember if he ever lived. 

The one he would dream about tonight as he went to sleep. 

... 

In the Arctic, there are no rules. 

There is no human relationship or morality, no honor or etiquette, there are only the weak and the strong! Those who are hunted and the predator! 

Since Luke took the lives of those arctic rabbits, he has understood that this is his new world and truth! 

If he wants to survive, he has to be the most ruthless and strongest of all! 

Therefore, even if Luke is still a wolf cub, even if this lynx is one level higher than him, he can only survive if he is smarter. 

Fortunately, Luke is about the same size as a lynx but faster than a lynx. 

Not that he has no chance of winning, but this would be a very difficult battle. 

With that in mind, Luke also flashed his fangs at the lynx. 

"Roar!!!" 

"Kyyyya!" 

The lynx's feline eyes also showed fierceness. 

And again it ran towards Luke. 

Boom! 

Lynx's forelegs and Luke's wolf paws clashed! 

But the lynx's power is obviously much stronger than Luke's current one. 

In this first exchange of attacks, Luke was always at a disadvantage, so he had to retreat again while roaring. 

His only strategy is to use his speed to deliver a lethal blow to that lynx! 

With this idea, Luke added all the attribute points back to his speed. 　　 

Therefore, his speed is now faster than that of the lynx, which is famous for its speed!  

A 70 against a 65. 

The two moved at great speed, and the brief contact of attacks was fierce, biting and scratching!" 

"Roar!" 

At this moment, the lynx finally found an opportunity, so its front kicks were like blades that could cut everything and prepared to make a deep wound on Luke's body.

Blood flowed from his body, staining his white fur. 

At this point, Luke's increasingly bloodied body moved towards the lynx. 

It opened its mouth to bite the lynx's neck, and the lynx managed to move, but Luke changed the course of his attack and bit it in the side. 

Unfortunately, he only bit the outer fleshy thing without being able to go any further. Although it was painful, this didn't affect the lynx at all. 

And the pain also made the fierce look in the lynx's eyes even crazier. 

However, Luke's eyes lit up after swallowing the lynx's flesh. 

"[2.5 evolutionary points gained from eating lynx!"] 

Is this also possible? 

Luke looked wonderful. 

At this moment, his special points required to level up to level four were only 5 points away. 

In other words, as long as he bites two or three bites of the lynx's meat, he could reach level four. 

Once he reached level 4, this lynx would not be his opponent at all! 

Therefore, he, who had been playing tug-of-war in a silent war of attrition with the lynx, suddenly opened his mouth, showing his fangs, and walked toward the lynx step by step. 

A pair of clear crimson eyes revealed a decisive and merciless stare. 

"Roar!" 

Since you want to fight! 

Then come and have fun while you can! 

The lynx at this moment was also completely angered by Luke's provocation. It also howled angrily, the hair all over its body exploded, its vigorous limbs jumped, its sharp front claws glowed with a cold light, and it ran towards Luke once again.
