The defeated "occupiers" either fled or were killed; it was an alternation between victors and vanquished.
In this unique environment, the predators at the top of the food chain have gradually formed a new set of rules and tacit understandings.
Originally, the predators fought independently alongside the herds, but this long migration disrupted the balance.
After the tiger parents first took action and killed the predator that dared to prey on them, the herd adopted new rules.
The powerful beasts began to occupy a section of the herd, following closely behind, no longer keeping a distance from the main group.
From then on, different ferocious beasts occupied and guarded each section of the herd, and only the strongest beasts could hunt within the herd and have enough food.
When the herbivores see a predator approaching, they are initially afraid and panicked, but they gradually get used to it and become accustomed to it.
Of course, the beasts that were powerless to resist and could only accept their fate were ordinary evolved beasts. None of their kind had outstanding talents and evolved into spirit beasts, so they could only be hunted and captured by the ferocious beasts.
The beast herd occupied by Lin Qian's family was positioned at the front of the army, but not at the very front.
The leading group consisted of several groups of different kinds of large herbivores, each holding a different status within this perilous herd.
They possess the ability to protect themselves and need not fear the threat of predators. This is because their populations include powerful spirit beasts capable of repelling their attackers.
Faced with such a group of spirit beasts, the ferocious beasts tacitly chose to avoid them. It wasn't that they didn't covet the benefits of spirit beast meat, but rather that the ferocious beasts who had become spirit beasts had developed a broader capacity for thought.
They knew that this group needed the leading spirit beasts to guide them; without the lead of those groups, there would be no large herds of beasts gathering at the rear.
The most important thing right now is to move forward and keep living.
As for hunting and killing?
As long as those herbivorous spirit beasts are still alive under our noses, there will always be an opportunity.
This is also why Lin Qian and his group followed closely behind, but never made a move.
Therefore, the herd of beasts more than 200 meters ahead was very quiet and orderly. They moved forward in an organized and disciplined manner, and were not afraid of the greedy beasts that passed by from time to time.
This is also a new tacit understanding: the beast herd led by the spirit beasts is responsible for clearing the way, while the ordinary beast herds seeking survival follow closely behind. And these beast herds that do not need to clear the way will also be responsible for filling the bellies of the predators.
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
The herd finished resting, and the beasts' feeding time also ended. Just as the long herd was about to set off, a sudden blizzard began.
The howling wind whipped through the trees, and the sound of the snow falling was deafening.
Lin Qian raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky, his bad premonition growing heavier.
Before the beasts could react, the wild snowflakes, accompanied by the cold wind, swept in, throwing the herd into chaos. They had to take shelter from such a heavy snowstorm!
"Mmm—"
"Yo yo!"
"Moo—!" Cries rang out from the front of the herd of beasts, and the leading herbivorous spirit beast had already stopped its own kind.
Lin Qian's heart skipped a beat as he watched the beast horde suddenly charge wildly. Oh no!
Looking back, sure enough, the beasts had gone berserk!
The charging herd of beasts kicked up the snow, and the beasts followed closely behind, sparing no effort. In an instant, the thunderous sound of hooves rose up, even more shocking than the raging snowstorm.
"Awooo!!" Hurry up and keep up!
Lin Qian shouted and ran after the herd of beasts. They absolutely could not lose track of the herd!
All the animals are now gathered here; if the herds are lost, there will be no food source!
The tiger father and his companions understood this principle well and immediately followed. The tigers in the family were all quite fast, so keeping up with the herd was not difficult.
But other ferocious beasts and smaller animals gradually fell behind in the increasingly fierce blizzard. They could no longer see the sounds of the herd or hear the dense, drum-like hoofbeats; all that remained in their sight was darkness.
The sunlight was completely blocked, and the biting wind chilled them to the bone. The animals that were falling down gradually huddled together, trying to huddle together for warmth and a chance to survive.
But they knew in their hearts that without shelter, it would be difficult for them to survive the blizzard in such a small number.
The disadvantages of the weak are fully demonstrated at this moment; the beasts at the very back of the herd are naturally the weakest.
Those strong and robust beasts had already moved to the front and secured their place.
Lin Qian was unaware that the beast horde behind him had been gradually dispersed and fallen behind; he kept a close watch on the part of the beast horde that he had occupied.
In his view, this was crucial to his family's food security, and he had to keep a close eye on it!
---Aside---
I apologize for the somewhat awkward writing in the first few chapters.
Without a draft or existing code, there are indeed some errors and omissions in the plot summary.
Originally, the descriptions of the human aspects were intended to appear occasionally, like the background descriptions, but there's been a bit too much of it in the last few chapters...
Sigh, I'll be more careful next time!
Finally, thank you all so much for your support! Thank you so much!!!
