Since enjoying the triple spirit-gathering effect for three hours every day, the tiger family has become somewhat dependent on Lin Qian. After all, no beast can resist such a rich spiritual energy environment and the rapid absorption and refining process!
By this time, both tiger mom and tiger dad had already made their own gains, with the two big tigers grabbing more than half of the spiritual fruits and plants in their respective areas.
If it weren't for the fact that some of the spirit beasts were moving too fast and the scene wasn't too chaotic, the two big cats would definitely have monopolized it.
Tiger Mom swallowed the plant of the spirit fruit, stuck out her tongue in disgust, and said, "This thing is so dry and doesn't taste good at all!"
The area shrouded in mist gradually dissipated the moment the spiritual plant was picked, and the invisible barrier also disappeared.
After finishing their meal, the three large cats left their respective areas at the same time, eager to find the Lin Qian brothers.
In the big cats' minds, the little ones really need their care.
However, in reality, although Lin Qian and Yong Qi do not have outstanding offensive abilities, they are both genuine level two spirit beasts and would not be in danger under normal circumstances.
But this time, unlike the situation where the big cats were fighting over the spirit objects, the two brothers encountered an unusual situation.
...
When Lin Qian arrived near Yongqiong, he was stunned by the dense flock of crows and tigers.
Lin Qian's vision was not affected by the black mist in the forest, but at this moment, all he could see was pitch black.
The crows kept flying in one after another, seemingly endless.
This scene made Lin Qian's scalp tingle.
But courage was in the way; he had to find a way to get rid of these damned crows!
Lin Qian's arrival was naturally noticed by the crows, but they were focused on attacking the deer and Yongqi in the center and did not spare any attention to greet this new guest.
After stepping back slightly, Lin Qian carefully observed the flock of crows. He was extremely familiar with the "clucking" cry of the two-headed monster bird.
With a sweep of his spiritual sense, all the crows were exposed, even the leader of the flock was clearly seen by Lin Qian.
"An inner core? No, it should be a crystal core?" Lin Qian was surprised when he saw the strange object inside the leader bird's skull.
Although she knew that species with a very different evolutionary path from spirit beasts would appear, Lin Qianzhen did not expect to encounter them so soon.
Moreover, this thing is clearly more advanced than the ones he's encountered before.
Whether the crystal core possesses any unique abilities is still unknown, so Lin Qian could only cautiously lurk nearby.
From the courageous roar, he could tell that the little guy was alright for the time being and should be able to hold on for a while, so there was no rush.
When facing the unknown, it's always good to be cautious.
Lin Qian remained calm and collected on the outside, while Yongqi and Malu were getting extremely anxious. Their spiritual energy was almost depleted, and if they didn't break through soon, things would be terrible!
"Awooo!!" Courage roared, already hesitating whether to run away.
Given its speed, the chances of escaping are still quite high, but it is somewhat unwilling to give up.
Those wretched crows!
"Hehehe—"
Seeing that the three spirit beasts were almost exhausted, the crow leader let out a strange cry, filled with obvious pleasure and excitement.
At the crow leader's call, all the crows made way for him, and the crow leader decided to take matters into his own hands!
Courageously and vigilantly steadied himself, ready to launch an attack at any moment.
The deer instantly reduced the aperture by a third, preparing to defend with all their might, as they were extremely wary of this thing!
"Jie—!"
With a long howl, the crow leader spread its enormous wings and then transformed into a cloud of ink as it swooped down.
Courage and the deer were shocked; they had seen such methods before, and were filled with dread.
"A great opportunity!" Lin Qian, who was on the periphery, suddenly had a bright idea in his eyes.
The little tiger rushed forward with a whoosh, and the invisible spiritual attack arrived instantly!
"Screech!!!"
A panicked howl suddenly rang out, and the inky black mist exploded with a "bang," and a huge black raven landed on the ground with a thud.
Courage was caught off guard as the enemy attacking him suddenly died.
The deer were stunned and instinctively took a step back.
"quack!!!"
"Whoosh..."
The flock of black crows was thrown into chaos. The crows cackled and scattered in all directions, as if fleeing in panic, or as if they had been liberated.
The two-headed crows, however, did not scatter or flee. They charged at Lin Qian with ferocious fury, seemingly seeking revenge.
"Hehehe!!!"
Courage snapped back to his senses, let out a howl, and swatted a two-headed crow down.
Then the little tiger pressed down on the two-headed crow and slapped it hard, biting fiercely. Before long, the two-headed crow was killed by the tiger.
Lin Qian also skillfully killed the attacking two-headed crow.
The battle lasted only a minute; the deer had barely recovered their senses when it was all over.
Lin Qianyi stepped on the crow leader's head with his tiger paw, and with a swish, he tore open the crow leader's head.
Dark red blood, carrying a thick, pungent stench, assaulted Lin Qian's senses, causing him to hold his breath instantly.
This stuff stinks even worse!
Lin Qianyuan wondered if animals with this kind of evolutionary method would regain their rationality and get back on track as their level increased, since he had just sensed fluctuations in mental energy from the crow leader.
That's why he decisively launched a spiritual attack, which proved highly effective against opponents with a soul and consciousness!
But now it seems he was probably overthinking it; this thing is a dead end!
Why do I say that?
Because Lin Qian's spiritual sense had already examined the dark red crystal core that he had taken out.
The rhomboid crystal, about the size of a thumb, is dark red throughout and contains an extremely mottled spiritual energy that is neither gentle nor pure, but rather full of rage.
Lin Qian didn't dare to try absorbing the spiritual energy, fearing that he might be "contaminated" by accident.
"Awoo~" When Yongqi saw his brother, he immediately wagged his tail and ran over, rubbing against Lin Qian.
The little tiger was really happy; its round ears were twitching.
The red deer leader was taken aback when they saw the new tiger cub. They recognized the cub because the chipmunk traveling with them had joined its ranks.
As for courage, they hadn't thought of it at first, but now they've made the connection.
The thought that two tiger cubs had three tiger parents made the deer immediately stomped their hooves and took a step back.
Lin Qian looked at the crow leader, which had been weathered into mud and ash, and used his claws to remove the black feathers from it.
These feathers, like the previous ones, possessed a mysterious aura, with the raven leader's being even more intense.
Courage tilted his fluffy head and turned to pick out the feathers from the two two-headed crows, just like his brother.
The little tiger picked up the feather and made a "woof" sound, as if seeking praise.
Lin Qian immediately patted its head to show his approval.
The feathers he had collected earlier had already been lost, and Lin Qian didn't plan to go back to look for them. He only kept them for research.
