As soon as the aroma wafted out, Tiger Mom lost her patience instantly. She stretched out her right claw and hooked at the fish's head, instantly slashing three bloody marks across the head that had been wide open with its round mouth.
The little fish swung its tail rapidly, struggled violently twice, and then remained still.
The tiger mother then released her tiger claws and spread the small fish out on the ice.
"Roar." The little ones eat.
Tiger Mom licked her lips and called Lin Qian and Yong Qi to come and eat the fish.
In Tiger Mom's eyes, the fish was only the size of her palm and would be gone in two bites.
So it decided to let its cubs eat it. It was already strong enough, but the cubs were still small. Now the dangers in the forest were increasing, and the cubs needed to grow up and become stronger quickly.
The tigress was very hungry, but she didn't make a sound. Lin Qian and her cub caught the fish themselves; she just watched the whole time.
It won't open its mouth unless it's its prey.
Lin Qian walked over and looked at the unconscious little fish, then quickly stretched out his little paws to scratch the fish's belly.
This fish is still alive; it's incredibly resilient.
After gaining spiritual awareness, Lin Qian can distinguish whether an animal is dead or alive even without using his spiritual awareness; he is now very sensitive to signs of life.
However, without spiritual awareness, one cannot see the state of Qi. In normal circumstances, it is like the sense of smell; one can only sense whether the other person still has life.
The little fish was covered in silvery-white scales that reflected light slightly. This was why Lin Qian had seen a faint white light earlier; it wasn't the effect of spiritual energy, but simply the reflection of sunlight.
Having understood the reason, Lin Qian lost interest in the little fish.
The claws instantly hooked open the fish scales and scraped the fish skin through the crevices. Instead of the expected smoothness, a hissing sound of resistance could be heard.
Um?
Lin Qian tried again, but couldn't break the fish skin at all.
Ah...this?!
He hooked the fish skin, not the scales! This fish has such good defense!
Lin Qian was speechless. He couldn't even open the fish with his claws, so how was he supposed to eat it?
Tiger Mom glanced at it, then stretched out her claws to scratch the fish's belly. Her claws easily hooked into the gaps in the fish's scales, and with a swoosh, the fish skin was instantly torn open.
A little blood flowed out of the fish's abdominal cavity, making the aroma even more intense.
Lin Qian understood. This fish had mutated to a very high degree, and its scales were probably already very strong.
His claws showed no abnormalities, so it's normal that they couldn't be broken.
Thank goodness we called Tiger Mom back!
Otherwise, given the speed at which the fish moved on the shore, he probably wouldn't have been able to catch it without being prepared and relying solely on courage.
"Oink oink." Mom, let's scrape the fish.
Lin Qian removed the fish's internal organs, then pushed the fish away, asking Tiger Mom to help remove the scales and skin. This thing was too hard; he and Yong Qi were afraid they wouldn't be able to scrape it off and might even hurt their tongues.
As for the internal organs, Lin Qian ran up to the tigress and beckoned her to eat them.
The only female tiger in their family doesn't have any special abilities, and since there's a spirit fish with such a high concentration of spiritual energy, it wouldn't be right not to share some with the female tiger.
Although this fish is smaller than other river fish, it still weighs at least 2 jin (1 catties) and its internal organs weigh at least 2 liang (100g).
The tigress was a little confused; her cubs were sharing meat with her?
But... there's only one fish, and it's fighting with its babies for food?
No, that won't do!
Its mind was rejecting it, but its body had already walked over involuntarily.
With a flick of his scarlet tongue, two ounces of meat slid down his throat.
The tigress was stunned when she swallowed a mouthful of delicious offal!
Me, me, me
I stole the baby's food!
The tigress stiffly turned her head and cautiously glanced at her sister, sensing she was about to get a beating...
Even though it's all grown up, it's still so scared. Its older sister is really fierce when she beats up the tiger!
The tiger mother was scraping the fish scales with her paws. After she finished, she licked the scales and swallowed them all.
Tiger Mom instinctively felt that the fish scales would bring benefits, so she swallowed them without hesitation.
When Lin Qian saw that Tiger Mom had finished cooking, he quickly said that Tiger Mom should eat a third of it, otherwise he wouldn't eat any.
Tiger Mom thought for a moment, then took a bite of the fish's tail, and with a flick of her claw, split the fish meat in two.
It was really brave, howling anxiously beside it, afraid that the two cubs would fight if they ate together.
After all, this fish smells so good!
If it hadn't been trying so hard to control itself, it would have almost swallowed the whole fish.
Once he received his share of fish, he couldn't wait to start eating.
Lin Qian didn't hesitate and started eating the fish in big mouthfuls.
This fish is absolutely delicious!!!
The mother tiger savored the taste of the fish for a moment, and wasn't angry with the tigress. She wasn't the same as before, and she had no objection to her cubs sharing the fish.
The aroma was so strong that Tiger Mom, afraid of drooling, quickly grabbed a river fish with its mouth open, frozen on the ice, and started eating it.
