Chapter 86: Chapter 86: A Desperate Gamble!
```
This Lynx, having revealed its form,
awaited the end of its Talent's duration.
To Su Lin, killing it would be like slaughtering a pig or a dog!
In the howling blizzard,
a fierce chase was underway.
Su Lin and the Lynx,
were sprinting through the storm,
and many animals sheltering under cliffs or in Dissolving Caves from the snowstorm,
could only hear the "swoosh" of something cutting through the air,
but they could see no figures.
Because Su Lin and the Lynx were moving too fast,
disappearing into the blizzard in just two or three seconds.
Originally, Su Lin did not plan to use his Hunting Talent.
It was his trump card.
But after frantically running for over ten kilometers,
the Lynx's Speed did not slow down,
and even seemed to blend its fur into the flurry of snow, becoming one with the color.
Its presence seemed to have vanished as well.
Only a silhouette was left.
This made Su Lin realize that he should not underestimate any Variant's Talent!
Even if the Concealment Talent seemed to only enhance Speed, its duration was quite extensive!
In the current blizzard,
since visibility was already severely obscured,
he could not see beyond two or three hundred meters.
"I can't let this Lynx escape!"
His eyes revealed a fierce light.
Hunting Talent,
instantly activated!
Su Lin's Wolf Eyes turned blood-red in an instant,
his limbs became even more robust.
His Speed Value,
in that instant, surged by fifty percent.
The Speed that was over sixty meters per second,
was now closing in on one hundred meters per second.
Every second,
he was catching up to the Lynx by forty meters.
One second!
Two seconds!
Three seconds!
In just three seconds,
Su Lin had caught up!
"Howl!"
With a piercing and resonant wolf howl that echoed through the cold Arctic.
Su Lin leaped,
his sharp Wolf Claws fully extended,
tearing through the harsh cold, and the air as well,
with a wail akin to a specter from Hell,
and with a strike that could even send a shudder down the Bear Clan's spine,
he ruthlessly smashed down on the Lynx!
Boom!
One strike!
It hit the Lynx hard on the flank!
The Lynx's flank was torn open with a shocking wound.
The immense Attack Power,
flung the Lynx over ten meters away!
The Lynx's body tumbled on the ground,
stirring the snow on the ground, merging with the storm in the sky.
The blow returned the Lynx to its original purple fur.
And as the almost two-meter body of the Lynx rolled into the snow,
it also spilled a large amount of fresh blood from its mouth.
But the ferocious light in its eyes was undiminished.
Just as Su Lin charged again at nearly a hundred meters per second,
the Lynx, with a malevolent glint in its eyes, swept up a few Ice Shards from behind it with its paw and threw them at Su Lin!
The Ice Shards hitting Su Lin's head did not cause much injury,
but they did obstruct his vision.
The intelligence of the Variant once again impressed him.
"Boom!"
His vision obstructed, Su Lin missed his target!
Under the Hunting Talent at the moment, the Attack Power of his right claw had reached two hundred!
This powerful force,
when it struck the ground,
immediately blasted a pit in the snow, scattering ice everywhere.
The severely injured Lynx also sensed the immense aura of Su Lin now,
rather than confront him head-on,
it started running wildly again.
Thirty seconds left for the Hunting Talent!
A hint of anger flashed in Su Lin's eyes!
```
He pushed his speed to the limit, already faintly breaking through the Speed Value on his panel.
A hundred meters per second!
Such speed exceeded the recognition of all species.
Even if the lynx sprinted desperately,
Su Lin quickly caught up.
All in!
It suddenly turned around,
and its sharp talons swiped at Su Lin's head!
This lynx was playing for keeps!
But even at full tilt,
it was no match for Su Lin, who had activated his Hunting Talent.
Bang!
Before its talons could touch Su Lin,
the lynx was hit hard by Su Lin again,
sending it flying over ten meters away!
Despite the Variant Species' impressive Impact Resistance,
the lynx struggled for a long time before getting back on its feet.
On its shoulder,
there was a new, bloody wound, with the stark white of bone visible.
The lynx even felt,
its internal organs were in severe pain,
which meant its organs were bleeding from the two heavy blows of the White Wolf.
But it didn't shrink back at all,
its eyes still fierce as ever!
Because it knew,
under the natural law of survival of the fittest,
no Hunter would spare you for retreating!
They would only hunt you down more relentlessly because you show weakness, show fear!
Pity and mercy are never part of a wild beast's cognition!
So, no matter what the circumstance,
you must show your fanged teeth and talons,
standing tall is the only path to survival.
"Howl!"
The lynx bore the pain in its body,
and howled wildly,
exuding an air of tragic fierceness, and a determination to fight to the death.
This air was much like that of the Little Lone Wolf under the polar night!
Only the lynx's aura was more domineering, more overwhelming!
Su Lin also howled!
The Hunting Talent faded,
and the mighty Strength and Speed dissipated from his body.
However,
the lynx had also been severely wounded!
After his howl, Su Lin looked at the lynx.
Their gazes collided amidst the blizzard.
Now,
although Su Lin was also wounded,
and the injury on his neck had cost him a significant amount of Vitality Value,
his Healing Talent,
within a few short minutes,
had already slowed the blood flow from the wound.
After a brief clash of gazes with the lynx,
Su Lin charged at it again.
Both he and the lynx,
were fighting a speed-based desperate battle,
and now the lynx's Concealment Talent, too, was fading,
returning to its Speed Value of less than 140.
Next,
Su Lin and the lynx engaged in a brutal tug-of-war relying on speed!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
...
Brief contacts during high-speed movement were fierce bouts of clawing and biting!
Regarding speed, Su Lin had a natural advantage.
The lynx had never escaped Su Lin's assaults,
and as injuries spread, its speed slowed even more.
The wounds on its body multiplied.
The lynx, with its already low Vitality Value, was fading fast.
Only its innate ferocity kept it from falling!
In its desperate ferocity,
the lynx inflicted yet another wound on Su Lin!
A deep cut was slashed across his shoulder!
Su Lin and the lynx continued their battle,
leaving devastation in their wake.
But soon,
the devastation was covered by the howling blizzard,
frozen under a thick layer of snow, as if nothing had ever happened.
