Chapter 79: Snow Wolf Xiaoxue

I don't know how long it took, but the blinding light surrounding the ghost wolf finally faded away. In front of me stood a snow-white giant wolf, one-third larger than an ordinary ghost wolf. Its eyes, which had once been the hallmark of the ghost wolf's gloomy gaze, now radiated boundless sharpness and majesty. The other three ghost wolves, with just a glance from its eyes, submitted and lowered their proud heads. This was a treatment even I, their master, had never received.

Staring at the giant wolf that was almost as tall as me, I was stunned for a long time. It wasn't until it lowered its head and gently nudged my arm with its massive head, like a spoiled child, that I realized it was the ghost wolf I had the deepest bond with and had spent the most effort cultivating. Thinking of this, I quickly opened its attribute panel, only to be stunned by the detailed attribute descriptions.

Snow Wolf (Elite Evolution): An advanced creature evolved from the most talented ghost wolf through long-term combat experience. Evolution Level 1: All abilities increased by 50%, additional 100 HP, all resistances increased by 20, 10% chance of Giant Claw Rip on attack, damage increased by 100%, 5% chance of life steal; Intimidation, an inherent talent of elite units, has a certain chance of scaring away approaching enemies, the probability depending on the strength ratio and the number of enemies.

Note: The Snow Wolf is the leader of the ghost wolves. In a pack of ghost wolves, only one Snow Wolf can exist.

The ghost wolf actually evolved! Not mutated, but evolved? No wonder the white light lingered for so long, far more impressive than the Venomous Flower Vine and the Lazy Crow.

I was overjoyed, but sensing the Snow Wolf's inner state, I found no trace of joy from its evolution. Realizing it might have evolved due to the shock of its companions' deaths, my joy quickly faded. After more than a month of companionship, if I had a deep bond with these five ghost wolves, then they were like brothers to each other.

I gently stroked the Snow Wolf's large head to comfort it. Now, it was even taller than me, and I had to raise my hand to reach its head. "Now that you've evolved, I'll give you a name. How about Xiaoxue?" I said a bit sadly, then named the other three ghost wolves to distinguish them: Xia'er, Xiaosan, and Xiaosi. I didn't spend much time thinking about the names; they were just labels, and easy to remember was enough. In the future, they, along with the Venomous Flower Vine and the Lazy Crow, would be my key cultivation targets. As for the remaining ghost wolf and four crows, I didn't want to cultivate any more bonds. It wasn't that I was heartless, but I needed some cannon fodder. It would be better to avoid attachment from the start, making it easier to use them as cannon fodder later.

On the ground, after the ghost wolf's corpse disappeared, the Treehead Woodfist's body also began to fade, leaving behind a pile of equipment. One of them even glowed with a golden light, but I had no time to examine it closely. After the Treehead Woodfist's body disappeared, the monsters attracted by the earlier glow and howl began to stir.

I casually picked up the equipment and stuffed it into my inventory, glanced at the Venomous Flower Vine and the others, and finally looked at Xiaoxue. Seeing its massive size, I had a sudden idea. Back at the Rogue Camp, I had tried using the ghost wolves as mounts, but as the saying goes, "copper head, iron tail, tofu waist." As soon as I sat on one, it would immediately wilt. Now that Xiaoxue had grown so large, I wondered if it could be a mount?

With this thought, I immediately signaled Xiaoxue to stand still, then flipped onto its back and sat down steadily. Xiaoxue only slightly shifted in discomfort before stabilizing.

It might work. Suppressing my excitement, I signaled Xiaoxue to start running. I felt a "whoosh" as a strong wind rushed past my face, and I instinctively squinted my eyes. When I adjusted, Xiaoxue was already sprinting through the dense forest at high speed. This new experience left me a bit dazed. After two days, I finally found the Dark Forest teleportation station—on a towering tree, a simple large platform built on thick branches, surrounded by numerous protective magic arrays, making it extremely safe.

After the mage at the teleportation station logged my name, I chose to return to the Rogue Camp. Cain had helped me so much, and I needed to resolve his issues first.

Before going to Cain, I visited the Lar family. When Sara opened the door and saw me, she happily hugged my neck, rubbing her small head against my chin like a puppy. Honestly, in this primitive society without electricity or entertainment, I had no idea how Sara spent her days; she must have been very lonely. I stroked her smooth, waist-length hair until Aunt Sally came out, and little Sara jumped off me, blushing and ran inside. Hehe, such a shy yet affectionate little girl.

In the half-month since I left, the Lars had already departed, which didn't surprise me. With motivation, Lar had almost become a demon trainer. However, Aunt Sally then told me an unexpected decision: she and Lar planned to send Sara to the North District for some magic training. One, staying at home all day was boring for Sara, and two, even if Sara couldn't become a class changer, she could at least learn some self-defense skills. If she did well, she could become a mercenary and follow me on my travels. Saying this, Aunt Sally became a bit sad—had she been strong enough, she could have stayed by Lar's side forever. Learning from her own mistakes, she made this decision for Sara.

As Sara's future husband, I felt it was necessary to be informed. Without hesitation, I agreed. As a class changer, I understood the importance of strength. I preferred Sara to become a mercenary, so she could sign a mercenary contract with me, making her safer with my protection. Of course, having a mercenary wife who could help in battles and warm the bed would make my travels and training less tedious. This was definitely something to look forward to.

Hehe, I'm so evil...
