Although it was called a discussion, Lin Qian was actually making all the decisions. The other beasts were just listening and then deciding whether to go or not.
The final team was decided: three tigers, four golden pheasants, and one rat.
The panda mother and cub naturally didn't go; the weather was too hot, so they avoided going out if possible.
The tigress doesn't like to move around much, but her ice-type nature allows her to regulate her temperature. Even when she goes out to sunbathe, she's not as afraid of the heat as her parents, and she can even provide ice balls to cool down on the road, which is very beneficial for her travels.
For the sake of the children, the stepmother hesitated for a moment but then gave up her objection.
With a roar, the exploration team officially set off!
The four golden eagles soared into the sky and headed south. Lin Qian's three tigers ran at full speed through the forest, but their speed was naturally a little slower than that of the golden eagles. After all, traveling in the forest is completely different from traveling in the vast, unobstructed sky.
If Yongqi were to run at full speed, he wouldn't be slower than the Jin Diao brothers, but Lin Qian and his stepmother were "holding him back." The little tiger cub wasn't trying to outrun the Jin Diao brothers, so he naturally followed his brother and had no intention of running around.
It wasn't that Qiong had changed his nature or learned to follow the rules; rather, the little guy had practically explored the entire basin, leaving nothing much to wander around.
Despite the basin's considerable size, the little tiger moved quickly, exploring the entire area in just a month or two. Now, its mind is entirely focused on the world outside the basin.
Of all the family members, Courage was the most familiar with the basin. Lin Qian and the others weren't fast enough, so they basically just wandered around the vicinity of their territory and were too lazy to go to other places.

The stepmother's tiger eyes kept a watchful eye on the two brothers. Her job was to keep an eye on her cubs, otherwise she wouldn't be able to explain herself to her older sister when they got home.
The chipmunk happily hugged its stepmother's neck fur, feeling the cool breeze emanating from the white tiger, and the whole chipmunk felt incredibly comfortable.
After running out of the large forest occupied by the tiger family, they quickly entered the grassland. Once on the grassland, the three tigers, Lin Qian, increased their speed even further.
The grassland is flat, making it easier to run than the intricate forest. However, the grassland is much more lush than before, with extremely tall grass that slightly affects visibility. But this doesn't pose a problem for Lin Qian, as he has his spiritual sense and can't go astray.
Courage and stepmother are following Lin Qian. As long as Lin Qian doesn't go in the wrong direction, there won't be any problems.
The golden pheasants fly fast, but the one at the back will occasionally glance back at the tigers' position. The four golden pheasants fly in a straight line, about a kilometer apart, to facilitate the transmission of messages.
The temperature in the thirties wasn't too high, and the golden pheasants flew freely in the sky.
But around noon, as the sun aligns itself, it's as if it's reached a special point, the sunlight suddenly becomes dazzling, and the temperature rises rapidly, exceeding forty degrees Celsius in the blink of an eye.
After running at full speed for half a day, Lin Qian and his group had only reached the middle of the basin. They would have to wait until nightfall to get out of the basin.
This is at a straight-line speed; for ordinary animals, it would take two or three days to get out of the basin.
Looking at the sun, the male golden pheasant cried out, telling Lin Qian that there was a small grove of trees ahead, and then a vast grassland.
Lin Qian looked at the sun, let out a tiger-like roar towards the sky, and prepared to rest.
The word "Xiongjin Diao" means "to rest." The weather is too hot. Continuous flight is fine, but continuous exposure to high temperatures is unbearable.
The midday sun is the hottest these days, with temperatures reaching fifty degrees Celsius. Even though it's a spirit beast, it can't stand being exposed to such intense heat.
Upon receiving a response, Xiong Jin Diao led his clan towards the grove. From the sky, it appeared to be a grove, but in reality, it was quite large, spanning a kilometer. However, compared to the large forest surrounding the basin, it was only considered small.
The reindeer leader, hearing the approaching calls, slightly raised its pale red eyes. Were the cries of these mythical beasts friend or foe?
The robust reindeer slowly stood up, letting out a muffled snort to signal the herd around it to calm down.
Since the heavy rains, the reindeer have returned, having regained their senses. However, after the fierce fighting, the reindeer herd is now less than a third of its original size, with only a little over a hundred remaining.
But these reindeer are incredibly powerful, and almost half of them have evolved into first-level spirit beasts.
Even though the reindeer beneath them weren't spirit beasts, they were still much stronger than ordinary animals, and their combat power should not be underestimated.
The male golden eagle's sharp eyes had already spotted the herd of reindeer. The reindeer were large and clustered together, making them a conspicuous target.
The male golden deer didn't pay much attention at first; they were just passing by and taking a break, not getting too close. But when it flew closer, it was startled to find that there were more than forty spirit deer in the herd.
"Cry—" The male golden eagle immediately let out a cry at the beast tamer leader, indicating that they were just passing by and would not fight.
The reindeer leader stamped its hoof, hesitated for a moment, and then responded with a deer call.
Since the other party was sensible, the reindeer chief didn't want to cause trouble. The other party had two level-three gold birds, which were not easy to bully. Besides, birds always had the advantage in battle.
Having received a response, the male golden eagle increased its distance further, stopping only near the edge of the forest.
Lin Qian and his companions quickly approached the forest, and the approach of the three level-three spirit beasts immediately alerted the reindeer leader.
It originally thought that Jin Diao was just passing by, but unexpectedly, three tigers came.
Tigers are not the same as golden eagles; they are ferocious beasts that prey on their own kind and are natural enemies!
As the wind carried the scent of tigers, the reindeer herd immediately stood up. Despite being mostly mythical creatures, the herd still harbored a deep fear of tigers.
