The third valley is deeper and larger than the previous two, almost equal to the sum of the previous two valleys.
It took Black Tiger and Fat Tiger the entire first half of the night to finish searching the valley.
Having released too much energy, Black Tiger needed to rest and recover its strength, so it lay motionless on a rock. Fat Tiger, meanwhile, was catching mice not far away. It quickly caught one, gave it to Black Tiger to enjoy, and then went to catch more.
After the two cats finished eating a mouse, Fat Tiger caught a snake about the thickness of a thumb. He bit it in half and shared it with Black Tiger.
At night in the mountains and forests, many wild animals begin to come out and move around, including birds and beasts.
While Black Tiger and Fat Tiger were resting, they suddenly heard the rustling of leaves above them, followed by the sound of large birds flapping their wings and the sound of birds swooping down and rubbing against the branches and leaves of the trees.
Cats have keen visual and auditory systems and a keen ability to observe the outside world. In a quiet environment, even the slightest rustling or movement will not escape their ears and eyes. Now that there is such a loud noise, they immediately become alert.
Fat Tiger immediately stood in front of Black Tiger and looked up. He saw a vulture swooping down from above. The eagle's eyes were sharp, as if it had already locked onto him and Black Tiger as its prey and was determined to get them. It stretched out its sharp claws, ready to attack the two seemingly weak cats below.
Fat Tiger wasn't afraid of it at all.
Hmph, if you want to fight me, you'd better see if you have skin of copper and bones of iron first.
Just before the vulture swooped down, Fat Tiger suddenly enlarged his body, completely enveloping Black Tiger beneath his massive form to protect it from the vulture's attack.
Perhaps because vultures aren't very intelligent, even after seeing the changes in Fat Tiger's body and his bared teeth at it with a ferocious expression, it still didn't stop in time and continued to charge down.
As a result, the fat tiger, which suddenly leaped into the air, swung a claw and slapped it on the wing.
It then tore one of its wings with its sharp claws. The vulture, attacked and with one wing injured, could no longer maintain its balance in the air and fell awkwardly onto the rocks.
It seemed unwilling to accept defeat by Gian, and its belligerent nature caused it to flap its wings again, preparing to launch a second attack on Gian.
Unfortunately, before it could even take off, a creature as heavy as a pig was riding on its back, and then sharp claws as hard as steel began to scratch and claw at its back.
Fat Tiger pinned the vulture down, and in an instant, feathers flew everywhere. In no time, he had scratched the vulture's entire back until it was bald and bloody, with eagle feathers scattered all over the ground around it.
The vulture's initial sharp cries gradually turned into low, hoarse calls, and it lost its fighting spirit.
It originally had a bald patch on its back, from which it got its name. But after being messed with by Fat Tiger, it became a true bald eagle, completely bald.
Fat Tiger didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with taking off someone's clothes. Hmph, he even wanted to skin the other person alive.
Having had its fill of play, it finally delivered a heavy swipe of its claws onto the vulture's head, giving it a good beating. Then it dragged the dead vulture to Black Tiger's side: "Brother, we're in for a feast. Before you recover your strength, let's finish this and then go find the treasure."
"OK."
Fat Tiger used both its beak and claws to dismantle the vulture's entire body in no time, then gave one of its legs to Black Tiger: "Eat it."
"Thanks."
Black Tiger was small and didn't eat much of the vulture, but Fat Tiger's stomach was like a bottomless pit. It kept stuffing vulture meat into its mouth until it had eaten the whole vulture. It patted its round belly.
"Burp~ I'm full."
Black Tiger said, "You're so full, how can you still look for treasure?"
"sure."
Fat Tiger immediately shrunk his body. "When do you say we're leaving for the next valley? I'm ready anytime."
Black Tiger had rested enough, and with the addition of rat meat, snake meat, and vulture meat to replenish its strength, it was now full of energy.
"Let's go."
"Walk."
As the saying goes, the weather is unpredictable, and this storm came without any warning. They had just set off when a torrential downpour began overhead.
Fat Tiger isn't afraid of getting wet in the rain; it won't get sick, but its fur will feel slightly sticky and uncomfortable.
But Black Tiger is different. This guy's physique is no different from that of an ordinary cat, and he might catch a cold if he gets wet in the rain.
"Black Tiger, let's find a place to shelter from the rain first, and then look for one after the rain stops."
"Can."
They jumped to the base of a protruding rock and waited quietly for the rain to stop.
The heavy rain came and went quickly. In less than an hour, the rain stopped, and the stars reappeared in the sky. Black Tiger and Fat Tiger set off for the fourth valley.
As before, they didn't just search in the valley; when they crossed the hills, the black tiger would also release energy waves to search.
By the time they finished searching the fourth valley, the eastern sky was already showing the first light of dawn.
The two cats were in a bad mood because they still hadn't found the bloodstone pendant.
Just then, Black Tiger ran out of energy again, and Fat Tiger said, "Let's go down the mountain first, report the situation to our master, and see what he says before we continue the search."
Black Tiger nodded dejectedly: "Let's go."
They told Luo Jingyan the results, and Luo Jingyan wasn't very surprised.
Zhuang Feifei isn't a brainless person; even if she tells the story of where she lost the necklace, she won't be able to pinpoint the exact location.
If it were her, she would also try her best to hide the whereabouts of anything she didn't want others to have.
"It's okay, don't rush, just take your time looking."
She had already prepared breakfast for Black Tiger and Fat Tiger in the space. "I made roasted lamb leg and roasted lamb chops for you, as well as Erguotou liquor and juice. Eat and drink and then get some rest."
Black Tiger and Fat Tiger both felt that their owner was too thoughtful; they had returned empty-handed, yet he had prepared such wonderful things for them.
"Thank you, Master."
"Don't be shy, eat up."
Liu Family
Li Hongying's goal today is still to go up the mountain to find that chicken-blood stone necklace.
It rained heavily last night, and everything outside is wet. Today, none of the commune members will go to the fields.
Just like yesterday, after breakfast, Li Hongying picked up her bamboo basket and said, "Mom, Aiguo, I didn't pick any mushrooms yesterday, so I'll go check again today. Don't worry, I'll definitely pick some this time."
