“Awoo!!!～～～～”

Each giant wolf was 2 meters long and nearly 1 meter tall, well-developed—it was hard to imagine these were just “pups.”

Their bodies were covered in long white fur, while their tails, backs, and limbs were coated in thick, icy blue hair.

As they approached, the pack of giant wolves fixed their blue eyes on William Carter, baring their fangs and exhaling frosty breath.

【Name】: Snow Wolf

【Attribute】: Ice

【Species Level】: Advanced Extraordinary

【Species Skills】: Ice Shatter Fang, Ice Split Claw, Snow Concealment, Frost Breath

【Description】: An extraordinary beast evolved in snowy mountain regions. Its frozen fangs and sharp claws can easily tear through steel. It excels at hiding and hunting in blizzards.

William Carter had a solid knowledge base, and detailed information about this pet beast immediately surfaced in his mind. Attributes represented ability categories, species level indicated the growth potential of extraordinary creatures—classified as low, medium, and high. As for skills, those were the signature abilities of extraordinary creatures and the things William Carter wanted to steal and learn...

“Awoo!!!～～～～”

“Awoo!!!～～～～”

At this moment, each giant wolf stared at William Carter with drool dripping from their mouths, their pupils gleaming.

“They really do understand.”

As for William Carter, who was being watched by a pack of snow wolves, he only felt a sense of novelty.

Even without thinking, he knew these wolves were hungry and eager to eat, but William Carter could actually hear it.

This feeling of knowing what the other side was saying... made him feel both reassured and exasperated.

He was reassured because it felt like they were on the same wavelength, but exasperated because one of the lead wolves said it wanted to taste him.

Damn it...

What kind of crappy job is this?

Was he here to be a feeder, or a backup meal?

“Where’s the wolf king?”

William Carter tried not to mind the wolves’ banter and looked farther away, searching for his “thigh” (backer).

“Rooaaar!!!～～～～”

After the snow wolves arrived, they all obediently stood in a row, not daring to make any rash moves. It wasn’t because they were afraid of scaring William Carter, nor was it out of politeness, but because their boss hadn’t shown up yet.

With a roar even more intimidating, the pack parted to make way. Approaching was an even larger snow wolf, over three meters long and at least 1.6 or 1.7 meters tall.

“Rooaaar!!!～～～～”

The wolf king of the snow wolves slowly stepped forward, its gaze locked on William Carter.

The other snow wolves looked at the wolf king with fear and respect.

Snow wolves are highly social extraordinary creatures, and the wolf king possesses supreme authority.

Some wolf kings can even awaken a deterrence skill that creates a sense of oppression, used to command the pack.

This isn’t a basic racial skill of snow wolves, but a high-level ability that can only be awakened under extremely harsh conditions.

Under this deterrence, the snow wolves were exceptionally well-behaved, not daring to act out of line, maintaining perfect order.

Clearly, the reason why intern feeders like William Carter could safely feed this pack of snow wolves wasn’t due to some telepathic communication ability, but because of the wolf king’s deterrence.

This snow wolf king was the pet beast of a beastmaster at the breeding base, responsible for helping manage the pack.

Now, William Carter suspected that the owner of this snow wolf king might be secretly observing his performance somewhere on site, grading him...

However, the owner held a high status throughout the breeding base, and this wolf king was just one of their many free-range pet beasts. They probably wouldn’t bother paying attention to a group of interns like them.

Could it be that this wolf is actually his grading instructor? William Carter’s expression turned odd.

Next, the snow wolf king walked over indifferently, step by step, until it was beside William Carter.

William Carter felt a surge of nervousness inside, his gaze strange as he looked at this majestic giant wolf.

The pressure this wolf king gave him was on a completely different level from the ordinary snow wolves.

Just a single look from it was enough to make William Carter’s heart pound.

At this moment, the wolf king was also looking at William Carter. It didn’t start eating right away; instead, cold air swirled around it as it continued to approach William Carter.

Then, its body brushed past William Carter, and its head touched him lightly.

By convention, the wolf king would leave its scent on the intern feeder, marking them with its unique deterrent aura. This way, the snow wolves would behave much better during feeding.

When William Carter felt the chill beside him, he realized he had been marked by the wolf king.

So this is how it leaves its scent?

Not bad—much more civilized than marking territory by peeing.

As William Carter was sighing, suddenly, his skill compendium activated.

Because just now, the wolf king had instinctively released its deterrence and also made contact with William Carter...

The process was so dramatic and smooth that William Carter was left a bit dazed. He had been wondering how to find a chance to copy the snow wolf’s skill, but it turned out to be this easy?

And it was even the wolf king’s advanced skill.

He opened the first page of the compendium, and at the top was an image of this snow wolf king.

Below was a string of text.
