The disheveled little tiger slowly walked to the underground river to drink water. The dark environment did not affect Lin Qian's activities, but he was extremely cautious, his eyes vigilantly observing his surroundings.
He was in an unfamiliar environment and didn't know what dangers lay ahead, so he had to be constantly vigilant about his safety.
Tiger Dad was still asleep. Lin Qian didn't have any tools to hold water, so he could only soak the tiger's tail and then quickly return to Tiger Dad's side, bringing the little tail to the tiger's mouth to brush it.
Tiger Dad kept his mouth tightly shut; this was the only way he could do it.
After several rounds of brushing, Tiger Dad's lips were finally moistened. Under Lin Qian's anticipation, Tiger Dad's scarlet tongue finally stuck out and licked it unconsciously.
Lin Qian was overjoyed and quickly continued; even just being able to lick it was good!
Even if it's just replenishing a little water, it's still water!
After fidgeting around for a while, Lin Qian rested for a bit and then stood up again.
He knew he had to find food! Even food without any spiritual energy could restore some of Tiger Dad's strength.
He also needed food to replenish his strength, and his physical strength was almost exhausted. In addition, his spiritual energy was depleted, so he could no longer use spiritual energy to enhance his body's strength.
Before leaving, the little tiger pushed over a few slightly larger stones. There were no branches or weeds around, so this was the only simple way he could shield his father.
Lin Qian glanced worriedly at the still-sleeping tiger, then left a marker on a nearby rock before departing.
If Tiger Dad wakes up, he will be able to perceive the messages he left behind that indicate "safety" and "hunting".
Yes, this information is represented by claw marks.
Of course, there was also a tuft of his tiger fur lying on top, odorless, and the tiger dad had no idea it was a mark it had made.
These markings were created by Lin Qian when he was studying tiger language, and they are similar to the markings tigers use to scratch tree trunks.
So the family quickly accepted and learned the meaning of the tiger, since the meaning was very simple.
The little tiger went down along the edge of the underground river. Lin Qian didn't know where the underground river led, but following the direction of the river would make it relatively easy to get out.
The midday sun should have been dazzling, but with snowflakes falling continuously, all that could be seen was the sun emitting a golden halo, appearing very hazy in the wind and snow.
Lin Qian was overjoyed as he walked out of the cave along the river, and the little tiger felt extremely close to the snowflakes.
He had no time to appreciate the scenery around him, yet he was still awestruck by the forest before him.
The lush green grass and verdant canopy made him feel dazed.
If it weren't for the falling snowflakes and the snow covering the plants, indicating that it was indeed winter, he would have thought it was spring.
Although surprised, it wasn't the forest he usually lived in. Lin Qian carefully examined the plants at the edge of the forest, which were mostly common, so he didn't pay much attention to them.
In an environment where spiritual energy is reviving, such a situation is not impossible.
Lin Qian carefully sniffed the scents carried by the wind and quickly searched for his prey.
Unfortunately, the wind and snow masked most of the scents, and the wind failed to provide him with the help and guidance he had in the past.
Lin Qian had no choice but to slowly walk into this unfamiliar forest. Although he was amazed by the vibrant life in the forest and somewhat uneasy about the situation inside, he was cautious as he was, but he would not give up the opportunity to hunt.
This forest is lush with vegetation, and there is clearly enough food for the herbivores to fill their bellies. The prey is in the forest!
Of course, danger also lurks in the forest!
After all, the abnormality of the plants already indicated that this forest was extraordinary; a place rich in spiritual energy must have powerful creatures.
He didn't read novels for nothing!
The little tiger concealed itself and moved forward silently.
Lin Qian searched carefully for animal tracks, but strangely, since he entered the forest, he had not heard a single bird call or insect chirp, let alone any other animal sounds.
In the forest, it seemed that only the sound of wind and snow could be heard.
A growing unease filled Lin Qian's heart, and he hesitated. All the information indicated that this forest was very unsafe!
But his rumbling stomach and the unconscious Tiger Dad made him reluctant to turn back; this forest lay just outside the cave in the underground river.
All other directions were cliffs, and there was no other way out except for this forest. He had no choice!
After calming himself down, Lin Qian slowly continued walking forward.
The further he walked, the more lush the trees became. He seemed to have reached the end of the forest, for he could vaguely see a cliff ahead.
It seems that the forest is not the way out; the forest is surrounded by cliffs.
Lin Qian did a quick mental calculation. He was walking in a straight line, and the distance was about 700 meters. He estimated that the forest was not very large.
