As a venomous snake, I evolved into a god through devouring.

The wolf cub was stunned by what it saw. It lowered its head and sniffed at the food that Casper had regurgitated. After hesitating for a few moments, it opened its mouth and began to eat.

Upon seeing this, the snakehead nodded.

Animals don't have such complicated thoughts; they'll follow whoever feeds them.

However, the fact that the other party did not launch an attack or flee immediately suggests that my friendliness had an effect.

It seems that charm points are still somewhat useful.

Since the little guy was willing to eat and had no problems after eating, it means he has let down his guard.

Next, all you need to do is demonstrate your strength appropriately, give them some food, and repeat this a few times, and the goal of taming them should be achieved.

Then I'll have a real leather mat to sleep on.

Oh my, it's so beautiful, so beautiful!

Just as Casper was looking ahead, the wolf cub opposite him, having finished its meal, suddenly turned and disappeared back into the bushes.

The former was suddenly taken aback.

What's going on? Accepting a gift doesn't mean I'm willing? Your Uncle Caspar is going to be angry.

Before he could even lash out, Kasper saw the other person emerge from the bushes again.

The wolf cub shook its head and howled, looking quite anxious, before crawling back inside.

Does this mean I should go with it?

Kasper was taken aback, then got up and followed.

He wasn't afraid of the so-called ambush. Wolves wouldn't use wolf cubs as bait to hunt down enemies, and besides, he had been interacting with the wolf cubs for so long without any movement, so the possibility of it being a trap was low.

Upon reaching the other end of the bushes, the dusty, woolly creature was indeed waiting for it there.

Seeing Casper following, the wolf cub continued forward, its short limbs swaying and wobbling, occasionally turning its head to check if Casper was keeping up.

"This direction... is the direction where I fought the goblins yesterday."

After crossing three small hills, the wolf cub stopped. Kasper raised his upper body, and his field of vision rose accordingly, allowing him to see the huge figure lying on the ground not far away.

Compared to Casper's current height of over 30 centimeters, the adult wolf is undoubtedly a behemoth.

At this moment, the wolf cub was anxiously circling around the fallen gray wolf, making anxious howls, and then looking at Casper.

Although they cannot speak, the meaning is all too clear.

Save it, it's starving to death.

Kasper approached the adult wolf's mouth amidst the expectant gaze of the wolf cubs.

But he did not regurgitate food scraps as he had done with the wolf cubs before.

Instead, he carefully examined its appearance for any abnormalities, and sighed inwardly upon seeing its swollen jaw.

"really."

The female wolf was undoubtedly dead, and the cause of death was poisoning.

After Kasper left, the nearby wolf pack, smelling the blood, came to the scene of the battle and began to feast on the goblin corpses scattered on the ground.

But they didn't know that these goblins all contained a deadly poison that could kill on sight.

Normally, the venom contained in flesh and blood can be broken down by stomach acid, but unfortunately, the inside of this female wolf's lower jaw was cut by bone fragments while she was eating.

The venom entered the bloodstream through the wound and killed it.

Even if the female wolf's body had already stiffened, Casper would have been helpless even when the poison had just taken effect.

He was just an ordinary snake, without any magic to cure poison.

Seeing that Casper was not moving, the wolf cub was somewhat confused.

It didn't bark at Kasper, assuming the long creature had run out of food.

The gray dumpling came to the female wolf's head, stretched out its tongue and gently licked her face, reluctantly rubbing its cheek against its mother who would never move again.

Seeing this, Casper felt a pang of sadness. He stepped forward, extended his snake tail, and stroked the wolf cub's back.

A strange feeling suddenly arose in Casper's heart. He was certain that he had established some kind of connection with the wolf cub in front of him.

At the same time, a prompt appeared in his mind.

Congratulations! You have recruited a gray wolf as your familiar.

[The Leader talent attribute has begun to take effect, resulting in a slight boost to Gray Wolf's various attributes!]

[Achieve the milestone of successfully recruiting your first familiar! The system will award you a reward!]

Congratulations on getting a new entry!

Another new entry?

Kasper was taken aback, but he quickly understood the reason.

Compared to simple hunting, subduing familiars is much more difficult, especially given that Casper currently has no magic or magical power, making this achievement even more prestigious.

The stronger the prey you hunt, the better the stats you get. This same principle can be applied to other actions as well.

Kasper opened the panel and immediately spotted the extra section of instructions.

[For beginners in animal language]

[How to obtain: Successfully capture a gray wolf as a familiar without possessing magic.]

[Action Effect: As the master, you can understand the meaning expressed by your subordinate gray wolf. The gray wolf can also understand your words. Thus, you have opened the door to the world of beast language.]

Unlike previous buff-type affixes, Beast Speaker is a functional affix that does not change the character panel and is of no use in combat.

Moreover, this entry is clearly at a relatively basic level, and there may be room for improvement in the future.

Casper closed the panel and gently patted the gray wolf's head with his tail.

"It's time to go. Follow me, and you'll have a good life ahead of you."

Kasper flicked his tongue.

The wolf cub's mother died by snake venom by chance, leaving the cub separated from the pack and on the verge of death. The cub happened to meet the wolf cub and took it in as its first companion.

What a strange fate.

Under the effect of [Beginner in Beast Language], the wolf cub understood Casper's words.

The effect of [Leadership Ability] also made the young wolf's thinking a little clearer, no longer as confused as before.

It finally understood the meaning of death and realized that its mother could no longer get up.

From now on, I will live with this long, thin creature that exudes a strange sense of affability.

After taking one last look at its mother, the wolf cub followed her and left.

Once again, just like before, the other party's thoughts entered its mind.

The voice was noble and majestic, as if it came from the distant, cloud-filled sky, yet it carried just the right amount of gentleness. When it rang out, all the surrounding noises seemed to disappear.

The wolf cub didn't understand, but it was deeply shocked.

"It doesn't sound very nice to keep calling you Wolf, so I'll give you a name now."

"From now on, your name will be... Simba Balmira."
