Chapter 103: Chapter 100: Slay the Ice Bug King, Bottom of the Crevice.
Perhaps it was that shining object that caused all the Polar Ice Worms to evolve into Variant Species!
Even with great changes in heaven and earth,
Su Lin had observed over these days that only an extremely small number could evolve into Variant Species.
At the very least, abundant food was required,
since evolving into a Variant Species consumed a massive amount of energy, and without plenty of food, it was impossible to support the evolution into a Variant Species.
On the other hand, one's own growth also needed significant potential to evolve into a Variant Species.
As for those that had evolved into Variant Species before the disaster, they either had monster-like potential or had encountered a special fortune like Grizzly Bear.
Therefore, there must be something unimaginable at the bottom of this crevice.
It's very possible that it's a Heavenly and Earthly Treasure.
This made Su Lin continue to devour the Polar Ice Worms,
while eating, he also came to the edge of the crevice again, looking down into the depths.
But this time, before he could stabilize his position, he felt a forceful presence rushing towards his face!
This caused Su Lin's expression to shift, and he rapidly retreated!
Whirl!
Just as he had put a safe distance between him and retreated a bit, and right after swallowing another Polar Ice Worm,
a gigantic Polar Ice Worm, over three meters long, crawled out from the crevice.
Countless snow and ice were shaken down into the chasm as the gargantuan Polar Ice Worm made its way.
This giant Polar Ice Worm still had no eyes,
but its body was covered with countless open-and-close slits, seemingly able to locate all living species.
It quickly fixed on Su Lin's location and rushed towards him rapidly.
In front of Su Lin, the Numerical Attributes of this giant Polar Ice Worm then appeared.
Species: Polar Ice Worm King (Variant Species).
Level: 12.
Qi-Blood: 1357.
Endurance: 152.
Strength: 149.
Defense: 137.
Speed: 145.
Talent: Toxic Mist (C-level).
"Chirp!"
The Ice Bug King let out a scream that sounded strikingly similar to a mouse's squeak, piercingly sharp.
It also carried endless brutality and murderous intent as if all species that came here were doomed!
A cold and fierce light flashed through Su Lin's pale blue Wolf Eyes as well.
He did not retreat in the slightest!
The Ice Bug King did give him a sense of danger, but it still couldn't stop his movement!
Right now, Su Lin had just devoured a good hundred or so Polar Ice Worms and was brimming with energy,
so he decided to start with this Ice Bug King!
Su Lin's sharp and pointed Wolf Claws fully extended, emitting a faint cold gleam!
He could faintly sense that his chance for a transformation in his Life Hierarchy lay right here.
This was his most primal intuition, and the instincts of a wild beast are often terrifying.
So there was no way he would retreat!
"Awooo!"
Along with a loud howl, Su Lin also charged at the Ice Bug King.
With a Speed Value of 200, he far surpassed the Ice Bug King.
Bang!
The Wolf Claw and the massive mouthparts of the Ice Bug King collided fiercely.
This time, the right claw with a Strength Value of 160 didn't completely succeed.
The Ice Bug King's flesh and fat quivered, dissipating the force of the powerful Attack.
And those huge mouthparts stretched out for over a meter,
the ends bristling with dense sharp teeth, snapping at Su Lin's neck!
Su Lin dodged, and the mouthparts missed.
But they were incredibly agile, quickly turning to bite at Su Lin's wolf body!
Rip!
The serrated edges of the mouthparts didn't penetrate Su Lin's reinforced flesh.
But the pain was intense, and his flesh was marked by red blood streaks.
Had the attack hit a vital area, such attack power would have breached his defenses!
The ferocity in Su Lin's Wolf Eyes surged once more.
With his sharp Wolf Claws, he slashed fiercely at the mouthparts, aiming to sever the Ice Bug King's extendable mouthpieces completely.
Without its serrated mouthparts, just leave it with its short, stumpy limbs; how would it attack then?
The Ice Bug King roared. Somehow without eyes, it was still able to discern Su Lin's attack.
Yet the mouthparts dodged swiftly, causing Su Lin's sharp Wolf Claws to only graze the side.
But even a mere graze sliced open a wound deep enough to fit a finger,
exposing the red, raw flesh beneath the white membrane, with blood dripping out.
"Chirp!"
The pain drove the Ice Bug King into a frenzy. Numerous small mouthparts bearing tiny saw teeth extended from the countless slits on its body to attack Su Lin.
This sudden assault was beyond Su Lin's expectations!
Hundreds of mini-serrated mouthparts lunged at Su Lin's entire body, particularly aiming for vital points like his eyes and ears!
Su Lin howled furiously, quickly evading.
Nonetheless, dozens of tiny mouthparts latched on,
and one especially got hold of an eye causing profuse bleeding.
Once clamped, the tooth spun, and the excruciating pain forced Su Lin to struggle free.
But one of his Wolf Eyes had been seriously damaged!
It hurt!
This was the second time he had suffered such injuries since the Variant Species Lynx, even more severe than the previous damage inflicted by the Lynx!
Because this time, the eye, a part of the body with very low defensive power, had been wounded.
Su Lin had heard of Polar Ice Worms before,
However, he had never heard of such a mode of attack from these creatures.
With one eye streaming with blood and effectively blinded,
tears from the other eye also began pouring out uncontrollably.
"Awooo!"
He couldn't help but howl again, pushing through the pain with sheer willpower as he opened his uninjured eye to look at the Ice Bug King!
