The wild boars have also changed a lot. These ordinary beasts that have not evolved into spirit beasts now have thick fur. If it weren't for this fur, they would have frozen to death in the wind and snow long ago. How could they have migrated to seek survival?
Lin Qian glanced at the wild boar's frostbitten limbs, then began to eat heartily.
He was initially surprised by what he saw, but now he's used to it.
Tiger fathers never choose their prey randomly, but rather according to certain criteria.
Most of the animals that become their prey are unable to walk any further. For example, the wild boar in front of them has its limbs completely frostbitten and its snout is damaged. Even if the tiger doesn't hunt it, it will freeze to death tonight when the temperature drops in the evening.
The tiger father looked up at the herd, searching for his next target; one wild boar was clearly not enough to feed the whole tiger family.
Although their appetites have increased significantly, the tigers did not spend their days hunting freely and eating until they were stuffed.
Instead, they eat only once every two days, barely enough to feel seven or eight tenths full.
This applies not only to tigers, but also to other predatory beasts.
Everyone tacitly adhered to the unspoken agreement regarding eating.
Because no one knows where the journey ends, or when they will find a new, suitable forest to live in.
Carnivores are better able to withstand the cold and have more abundant food than herbivores in this icy and snowy environment. This is their advantage, allowing them to travel further and live longer.
However, this does not mean that carnivores can exploit herbivores without restraint. Whether it is food on the road or in a new home, herbivores need to reproduce to maintain the stability of the food chain.
So while the ferocious beasts along the way are killers of herbivores, they are also protectors. They will not hunt indiscriminately, but will instead lend a helping hand when needed.
for example……
"Roar!!" Tiger Dad roared, and swung out a claw. When he pulled it back, there were specks of blood on his claw, showing the success of his attack.
A gray-furred jackal crashed into a tree, and a large amount of snow fell onto its bloodied body. It let out a low, regretful, and bewildered whimper before it breathed its last.
Deep scratches marred its gray back, flesh torn open, and its spine broken.
The tiger father glanced at it coldly, but didn't go forward to retrieve the jackal he had just killed. This was the fate of the provocateur; it wasn't about getting food, it was about intimidation!
This jackal wasn't stupid; it certainly wasn't deliberately provoking the tiger pack. It was just extremely hungry, and seeing that only the tiger father was guarding the pack, it took the risk by relying on its speed.
Unexpectedly, before even getting close to the herd, he was swatted away by the tiger father with a single paw.
The jackal is not an animal from the forest where Tiger Dad lived, but rather the native inhabitant of this forest.
The herd is now enormous, no longer just the animals in Lin Qian's forest. Many animals join them in the forests they pass through, and the number of predators is increasing.
However, many beasts, like Lin Qian's family, had already occupied a section of the herd as a hunting ground, which meant that newly joined beasts had to risk hunting from the "occupiers'" territory.
This behavior is offensive and provocative! Tiger Dad certainly won't be polite.
Watching the wild beasts staring at the jackals with drooling eyes, Tiger Dad snorted, his cold and majestic tiger eyes slowly sweeping over the ferocious beasts emerging from the nearby forest.
The beasts that were caught in the Tiger Dad's gaze trembled and quickly turned to leave.
Most of them were not newly joined beasts and knew that the tigers were not to be trifled with. Although this group of tigers occupied the fattest and most numerous section of the herd, they could only watch with envy and dared not make any rash moves.
Otherwise, that foolish jackal will be a prime example!
Courage filled its little belly, and seeing its tiger father majestically drive away the beasts, it happily ran to the tree and brought the jackal back.
They didn't like these kinds of animals originally because they didn't taste good.
But this jackal is a beast that has evolved into a level one spirit beast. Its meat is of excellent quality and can also replenish spiritual energy, so it cannot be wasted.
The tiger dad nuzzled his cub and thought the little guy was incredibly well-behaved and had excellent taste!
If you don't have the courage to go and get it, Tiger Dad won't go anytime soon either. If the meat sits for too long, its spiritual energy will dissipate over time, which would be a huge loss.
But it is a proud and majestic tiger king; it couldn't afford to do something so undignified after intimidating the pack.
Yes, Tiger Dad is now even more concerned about his "tiger king" dignity than before; he's definitely saving face!
Of course, it wasn't to the point of being obsessed with saving face, after all, her status in the family was already precarious...
Now, the tiger father can only show off his power in front of other animals to comfort his melancholy tiger heart.
After the mother tiger and the tigress finished eating the wild boar, they went in opposite directions to positions about fifty meters in front of and behind the father tiger.
This is the tier of beast herd they've dominated. Now, more and more spirit beasts are joining them. Most predators are cunning, and if they aren't kept under strict guard, there will be quite a few who will take the risk.
They have two kittens to raise, and they won't allow even one to be missing food!
Hmm, it's definitely not because the three of them have suddenly increased their appetite!
Having learned their lesson from the tiger father's earlier intimidation, the newly joined beasts also became more cautious, turning their attention to easier prey and staying far away from the tiger family.
As a result, no other predators approached the area occupied by Lin Qian's family, and peace and quiet returned.
However, in the rear ranks, fighting and roars continued to erupt, another day of scrambling for food.
Of course, this commotion will not last long. When the newcomers fail to provoke the "occupiers," they will naturally choose to retreat to preserve themselves.
