Chapter 141: Chapter 129 Kinai Mountain Wolf.
After pushing down that thought, Su Lin then looked towards the direction from which the howling of wolves had just come.
Turning his gaze there, indeed he saw a wolf pack of more than twenty individuals.
Yet this wolf pack was not composed of Arctic Wolves; on the contrary, this branch of the Wolf Clan, in Su Lin's recollection, was supposed to have gone extinct in the last century.
Because this group of wolves was none other than the renowned Kinai Mountain Wolves!
They were also undisputedly the largest-bodied among the Wolf Clan.
Even the size of these Kinai Mountain Wolves was much larger than the commonly recognized size.
With a thought from Su Lin, the Numerical Attributes of this group of wolves appeared before his eyes.
Species: Kinai Mountain Wolf.
Level: 10.
Qi-Blood: 1257.
Endurance: 139.
Strength: 116.
Defense: 93.
Speed: 95.
Upon seeing the Attributes of this group of wolves, Su Lin couldn't help feeling impressed by the formidable strength of the Kinai Mountain Wolves.
Just ordinary members of the Wolf Clan possessed Level 10 strength!
Not to mention hunting—I bet even in a one-on-one fight, they could hold their own against some of the weaker large herbivores!
The origin of this group of Kinai Mountain Wolves also made Su Lin very curious.
Even if the Kinai Mountain Wolves had not gone extinct, they shouldn't have appeared in the Arctic.
Unless the Soviet Union had collected the genes of the Kinai Mountain Wolves and wanted to research something here?
Only, the last attempt failed; however, the genes of the Kinai Mountain Wolves miraculously survived, and with time, multiplied into a wolf pack!
"What exactly was the Soviet Union trying to research here?"
Su Lin was very curious.
Although ordinary Kinai Mountain Wolves were strong, they were far from being a match for Su Lin.
What concerned him was the Lead Wolf in this wolf pack.
The Lead Wolf could be easily distinguished by its position and posture within the pack.
This Lead Wolf, Su Lin had already sensed the aura of a Variant Species!
"Ao!"
The Lead Wolf, through a low howl for communication, was signaling the wolves around it to continue moving forward slowly.
The palace was very large, and the wolves were headed towards the very center of it.
At the center, there were several huge Ice Mountain Lotuses, as well as Exotic Flowers and Rare Herbs whose names Su Lin could not say.
Su Lin's thoughts flickered slightly as he glanced at one of the Ice Mountain Lotuses and found that they were indeed Exotic Flowers of Level Twenty-something. Among them, two Ice Mountain Lotuses even reached over Level Forty.
The Ice Mountain Lotuses were slowly rotating, and with each rotation, they emitted a dangerous aura.
This aura seemed to detect the invasion of a foreign presence, and a subtle sensation faintly swept towards Su Lin.
Luckily, the Stealth Talent was exceptionally incredible, and after the sensation hovered in Su Lin's vicinity for a moment, it dissipated.
"Such a formidable Ice Mountain Lotus!"
Su Lin couldn't help thinking to himself.
Not only can animals evolve into Variant Species, but other life forms can also mutate.
Now, guarding the central statue in the palace are a bunch of Mutated plants.
These plants not only contained an incredibly surging Pure Energy but were also extremely dangerous.
As for the Ice Sculpture Statue, Su Lin saw that it vaguely resembled Dione from Western legends.
However, he did not pay much attention to it. Instead, he was interested in the research conducted by the Soviet Union beneath the temple.
He wondered what exactly the Soviet Union was researching here.
But just as he was about to act, the Lead Wolf of the Kinai Mountain Wolves had already reached the central part of the temple.
Following the Lead Wolf's low whining howl, the entire Wolf Pack began to worship the Ice Sculpture Statue with sincere reverence.
Prostrating on the ground, forelimbs embracing the head, the wolves' tails did not dare to wag but were tightly tucked instead.
This posture indicated that the Wolf Clan was not only loyal to this Ice Sculpture Statue but also feared it!
Because such a stance is usually reserved for the Wolf King.
Su Lin's golden-brown eyes watched everything within this Ice Palace grow increasingly curious.
Next,
during the Kinai Mountain Wolf Pack's worship, Su Lin quietly walked over.
He moved very lightly along the way.
Yet the Wolf Claws still made a slight rustling sound on the floor of the palace.
This caused the two giant Ice Mountain Lotuses to suddenly emit dazzling light, accompanied by an oppressive aura that came rushing forth.
Fortunately, Su Lin stopped in his tracks in time, and after the aura of the giant Ice Mountain Lotuses circled around his position, it slowly receded back.
This made him even more cautious.
Even though his form and aura had completely vanished, the senses of animals and plants were incredibly sharp, able to detect even the slightest noises.
Su Lin was now very close to the area where the Soviet Union had housed their experimental equipment and materials.
He focused all of his vision on these instruments and experiments.
He discovered that there were also many frozen human figures, some still in poses of conducting experiments, from which it was evident that this was the result of an abrupt onset of a cold wave.
There were also many shattered man-made materials and construction materials beneath, indicating that humans had once built a temporary experimental base suitable for short-term living.
But it was frozen into fragments in an instant, with some humans frozen into pieces, while others permanently encased in blocks of ice.
As for what exactly was being experimented with,
Su Lin couldn't tell, as too much time had passed, and a thick layer of cold mist and frost had covered many of the instruments.
