Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 287 The Purity of the Wolf King's Source Essence: A Big Business
Upon seeing Lin Feng, the dog showed great excitement, lying down with its back turned and exposing its belly, a manifestation of obedience in canines.

However, Lin Feng felt that the dog just wanted to play with him.

It seems that becoming an evolved wild beast has not changed the divine dog's original behavior and habits; in other words, its intelligence remains at the level of a child.

Because they did not experience the cruel wasteland world during the most important stage of their growth, nor did they encounter the scheming and life-or-death struggle for survival, they appeared somewhat naive and ignorant.

In the words of Wolf King Ao, this guy's brain might be a bit off; he's an absolute idiot.

But it is precisely this simplicity that ensures the dog's heartfelt loyalty.

Wolf King Ao must have been kicking himself when he found out about this.

After all, according to its agreement with Lin Feng, it was to pass on its mantle and the essence of the wolf king to the divine dog in the future.

The next Tier 3 Wolf King turned out to be a wild beast with no intelligence, yet he remained loyal to a human.

For the entire wolf clan, the fate of the pack is completely tied to Lin Feng.

Only if Lin Feng can dominate the region can the wolf clan thrive.

Otherwise, if Lin Feng's fate is unfortunate, the wolf clan will also suffer, and may even face extinction.

Most importantly, the blindly loyal hound is likely to follow Lin Feng to his doom, and may even be willing to sacrifice himself to save Lin Feng.

But right now, there really isn't anyone more worthy of investment than Lin Feng.

After all, any other force would definitely covet the legacy left by the Wolf King and would never leave a third-tier body to a pure-blooded wolf.

Only those exceptionally talented second-tier powerhouses, arrogant and confident in their own evolutionary path, would only want to borrow the wolf clan as their subordinates.

For example, someone like Lin Feng, who embarked on the path of pure evolution, would never be reduced to choosing the path of alien evolution, no matter how badly he fared in the future.

The dog's unwavering loyalty not only earned it Lin Feng's trust but also gave it greater resilience.

Because the brain is very primitive and simple, the expansion of body size and the degree of physical evolution have a very limited impact on it.

In the future, there is even greater certainty that they can directly inherit the legacy of the third-tier body of the Wolf King in Fallen Wolf Valley.

The divine dog, now fully evolved, can finally sense its master's power.

The second-tier aura emanating from Lin Feng was like a small mountain, making the divine dog fearful.

When Lin Feng lowered his head and stroked the dog's head and belly, the dog made a soft, whimpering sound.

While petting the dog, Lin Feng also observed the changes in the divine dog after it had completed its initial evolution.

In addition to reaching a length of five meters, it is four meters long even without its wolf tail, and its shoulder height is more than one meter, making it comparable in size to the liger that was previously hybridized.

This is equivalent to the ancient giant saber-toothed tiger that evolved during the Ice Age of the Cenozoic Era after the extinction of the dinosaurs, as well as top predatory beasts such as the dire wolf.

But what's most striking are the gleaming claws on the dog's four paws and the sharp fangs in its gaping maw.

Although the claws are not very sharp, they are very hard and can easily grip smooth rock surfaces or the rock plate armor on a rock horned horse.

Just now, the dog, having smelled Lin Feng's arrival, excitedly scratched at the iron gate inside the car. After only a few struggles, it left several shallow marks on the alloy iron gate.

The force is comparable to using a file to trim alloy.

Unlike felines, canines are not particularly dexterous, and their limbs and claws are not their primary offensive tools during hunting or fighting.

Instead, these claws are better suited for gripping the ground to provide greater friction, and are also better suited for long-distance runs, as their hard texture eliminates the need to consider friction issues.

Therefore, when hunting wildebeest, the pack of desert wolves often uses a strategy of attrition, continuously driving the wildebeest to select the weakest one from the herd as the final target of the hunt.

The hard claws on their feet give them superior long-distance running ability.

As for the mouthful of fine steel wolf teeth, needless to say, they are an important tool for the wolf clan to survive.

The source essence absorbed during the divine dog's evolution and transformation came from a degenerated version of the Wolf King Ao's third-tier flesh and blood, which was far more effective than other ordinary life source essences.

Therefore, the fangs of the divine dog are all of the highest purity. Lin Feng tried to touch them, and the texture and hardness of the four canine teeth on both sides were already at the level of level fourteen.

The Divine Dog is currently only at the early stage of the first tier. Even though Ding Yi has fed it two meals of high-grade evolution meat and successfully evolved it to level twelve, the fact that it can possess the steel wolf fangs of the next stage means that the Divine Dog's evolutionary potential far exceeds that of an ordinary evolved wild wolf.

It possesses an extremely powerful evolved body.

Their condition and potential are far superior to those of the starving wolves in the wasteland.

Actually, there's a subconscious misconception here.

That is, the belief that a pampered environment makes life weaker than that of an individual living in the wild.

In reality, the combat power of the stronger should far exceed that of the latter.

As for the people of the oasis, they were just a bunch of spoiled pigs who, under the bishop's deliberate confinement, had not undergone any training or combat preparation.

However, if carefully nurtured, the evolved individuals cultivated by powerful forces are definitely much stronger than those who survive among the wild wanderers.

The two sides are not on the same level, neither in terms of physical condition nor in terms of combat mentality.

Take the divine dog for example. Under Lin Feng's protection, it can always participate in battle in the best condition, having eaten and drunk its fill. In the process of fighting, it does not have to worry about being seriously injured or facing the risk of death.

Because as long as he can win the battle or escape alive, Lin Feng will definitely use the best medical conditions to bring it back from the brink of death.

Meanwhile, with the assistance of humans and the artillery support of Lin Feng during the battle, their combat power far surpasses that of other second-tier evolved wild beasts.

The divine dog, with its life essence derived from the wolf king, its own evolutionary potential, and its wolf bloodline, is naturally of the highest level.

In this respect, the Divine Dog is far stronger than other Steppen Wolves of the same level.

Having confirmed this, Lin Feng was confident that he could bring the divine dog to the final battle.

After Ding Yi finished setting up the project, she returned to her experimental vehicle and encountered Lin Feng playing with the super dog.

Lin Feng then stood up and informed the other party of his plan to rapidly upgrade the divine dog's evolution level, enabling it to enter the second stage and become a clan leader-level giant wolf within a day:

"The leader of the Wasteland Wolf Clan, Wolf Ao, possesses terrifying evolutionary strength at level twenty-nine. Moreover, he has been absorbing the power of the third-tier body from the Wolf King's Tomb for many years, making his combat strength far surpass that of the Bishop and Bai Ye. Therefore, the Church's plan is unlikely to succeed."

“We need to devise a new battle plan. Even if we can’t severely injure or kill Wolf Ao at level 29, we must make him feel threatened so that he will give up the attack on Oasis Town.” “As long as the risks and costs outweigh the gains from the Wilderness Wolf Clan’s raid on Oasis Town, Wolf Ao will definitely lead his pack and slink away.”

"And the key to this plan is the super dog."

"We need a second-tier behemoth to distract Wolf Ao during the battle, thus revealing its weaknesses."

"To give Chen Shanshan and me a chance to make a move."

Ding Yi nodded, then looked at the ingratiating-looking dog with a hint of worry and said:

"This plan seems more feasible, but it has two problems."

"First and foremost, we need to determine whether the rapidly evolving divine hounds can remain loyal to us and maintain their friendship with humans after the battle with the wasteland wolves."

"After all, it's with us right now, and it has more human attributes. In its mind, it may not be much different from humans. But once it comes into contact with real desert wolves, there's no guarantee that other things won't happen to its kind."

"Secondly, it depends on whether the strength of the early stage of the second tier can withstand the attack of Wolf Ao, the leader of the Wasteland Wolf Clan, or whether the Divine Dog has the courage to face Wolf Ao's offensive."

"According to the Wolf King, the Divine Dog needs to absorb the degenerate essence from its third-tier flesh and blood in order to have the power to fight Wolf Ao."

"Is there a scheme by the Wolf King behind this, such as secretly influencing the Divine Hound, or activating its third-tier power to take over the Divine Hound's body for combat, etc..."

Lin Feng frowned slightly. Ding Yi's words made perfect sense, but the situation was urgent and he couldn't worry about that now.

Even if it has some impact on the dog, as long as it doesn't affect its loyalty to you, it's not a big problem.

If one day in the future, the Divine Dog turns against him, Lin Feng will not hesitate to raise his gun and turn it into an evolutionary meat feast, as well as the evolutionary source of the Steppenwolf.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng waved his hand:
"Since it's the Wolf King's decision, let's do it this way for now. We do need the Divine Dog to help share the pressure from Wolf Ao so that we can be confident of severely damaging him."

"As for the problem you mentioned, we'll deal with the aftermath after we've resolved the immediate crisis of the Steppenwolves attack."

Ding Yi nodded, looked into the sealed-off laboratory inside the carriage, and continued to ask:

"Should the experiments involving the wolf king's flesh and blood continue?"

Lin Feng hummed:
"Now is the time to lure Lang Ao into making a move. The energy radiated from the Wolf King's early-stage third-tier flesh and blood will definitely attract Lang Ao here."

"You should restart the experiment first. When war breaks out, there will be a large number of corpses of evolved wild wolves. The life essence collected from them will be used to create a large number of wild wolf warriors to enhance the combat power of the evolved individuals."

"After this great battle, Oasis Town may become famous for its stable production of Wild Wolf Evolution Agents."

"Especially right now in the wasteland, most evolved beings are evolving from rockhorns, while the newly established Steppenwolf evolution path and the Steppenwolf Warrior system are simply the nemesis of traditional rockhorn warriors."

"This will bring about earth-shattering changes to the entire wasteland situation."

"And the oasis town, which is at the center of the vortex, is also expected to take off and expand."

After hearing Lin Feng's speculation, Ding Yi nodded in strong agreement:

"Therefore, by possessing the Wolf King and a portion of its third-tier flesh, we are able to produce purer Wasteland Wolf Essence, cultivating beings that are far more powerful than ordinary Wasteland Wolf Warriors."

"With the existence of the divine hound, it's not impossible to establish a wolf knight legion in the future!"

Lin Feng waved his hand and stood up from in front of the divine dog:
"Those are all things to come later. Let's get through this current hurdle first."

"If Oasis Town can't hold out in the end, then all of this is just empty talk. We also need to be prepared to hold onto our interests tightly and be ready to break out at any time."

"After this arena competition ends, Chen Shanshan and I will return to the Oasis warship, bringing with us one hundred Oasis citizens."

“Some of them will be used as reserve convoy members to fill positions lost in battle, while the majority of the rest are deposits paid to us in advance by the Oasis Church.”

"When we head to the Holy City, these oasis residents will be the seed money for our operations."

Ding Yi nodded, thinking that the common people were all evolved beings, at least at the early stage of the first level of evolution. If they were to become slaves, the best place for them would not be to become playthings of others, but to be placed on the operating table in a laboratory.

This will help to validate some ideas in evolutionary research and contribute to the development and progress of human civilization as a whole.

Before Lin Feng left, Ding Yi asked another question:
"At that time, I will leave a few of the upper class behind, such as the unruly troublemakers or deserters from the battle, to serve as my test subjects."

"This will effectively advance the research and development of the Wild Wolf Warrior and lead to the development of a stable Wild Wolf evolution agent."

Lin Feng hummed in agreement, and after explaining the plan to the Divine Dog, he returned to his vehicle, the Wild Wolf War Chariot at the head of the convoy.

But along the way, Lin Feng saw Old Duncan step out of his vehicle and wave to the side of the convoy.

At this moment, the vehicles belonging to their squad have been upgraded from ordinary vehicles to armored vehicles.

The external armor and power system have been completely updated.

This is mainly due to the fact that the Linfeng team has a professional mechanical repair team, including Master Cheng Wentian, who was recruited from Shuguang Village and has hundreds of years of mechanical repair experience.

He can easily solve problems related to motor systems and photovoltaic power generation, not to mention vehicle upgrades and replacements.

As long as you have all the materials, you can get it done with a little effort.

After being invited to join Lin Feng's team, Old Duncan benefited from this and completed the upgrade of his vehicle.

After contacting the main Salvation Army force via radio, Duncan relayed Lin Feng's reply to Bai Ye, and a message soon arrived from the other side.

Duncan ran up to Lin Feng and said with a slightly respectful tone:
"Lord Bai has decided to meet on the left side, because on the right side of Oasis Avenue, a fierce battle is currently taking place between second-tier experts, and the fluctuations of their auras have spread for several kilometers."

"Wolf Ao had already noticed this and was currently leading his second-tier offspring, along with a group of first-tier late-stage leader-level giant wolves, lurking behind the nearest mountain range."

"I plan to observe for a while and then act accordingly."

"The Salvation Army is positioned on the left. Once the wolf pack decides to act, they will head straight for Oasis Town, plundering the Rockhorn Horse industry in Farm Village while also intercepting and restraining resources from other second-tier evolvers in the Oasis."

"Bai Ye is currently on the right, and I hope to meet up with you as soon as possible."

Lin Feng nodded, glanced at his watch, and, estimating that Chen Shanshan had already completed her evolution, replied:

"Alright, let's set off now."
