Back on the ground, Lin Qian called to Jin Diao and prepared to leave. Their purpose in coming out was to find salt, and now that they had found it, there was naturally no need to stay any longer.
Lin Qian let out a low growl, calling for the Golden Orchids to gather and prepare to leave.
After Lin Qian and the others entered the supermarket, the Jin Diao Men rested nearby. There was nothing they could do; with their waddling gait, they wouldn't be of much help even if they got in.
The Golden Eagle leader responded with a cry, then took flight with his wife, truly a pair of lovebirds soaring together in the sky.
Lin Qian was already immune to the withered grain, and with a blank face, he ran out of the city without looking back.
The chipmunk darted around and grabbed Lin Qian's tail, successfully catching a ride on the tiger's tail.
With a swift movement, Qiong overtook the car and vanished from sight in an instant. Stepmother was overjoyed to know they were going home; the white tiger had missed its den after being away for several days.
Seeing the tiger suddenly leave, the boy carrying the bucket behind him subconsciously started running after it. Only after the tiger disappeared from sight did he realize that he had no chance of catching up with it.
The boy's thin hands gripped the bucket handle tightly, his eyes filled with disappointment. He didn't know why he wanted to follow a pack of wild beasts, but he certainly felt that they were good.
Perhaps it was the fruit and water offered by the soft-spoken chipmunks that revived his long-dormant hope; and perhaps it was the tigers' casual yet unperturbed demeanor that restored his almost vanished dignity...
Looking down at the bucket full of snacks, the boy's eyes, which had been dull and lifeless, suddenly lit up when he thought of the white tiger eating them.
"Tap tap...!"
The sound of running gradually changed from panic to determination.
The thin boy ran in the dim light of dawn, leaving shallow footprints along the way, yet carrying a heavy hope.
"Choo-hoo!" After the golden birds took flight, they resumed their duty of vigilance and patrol, so the figure that had been following them from afar was spotted immediately.
The goldfish didn't care when the boy was in the city, but they kept following him closely even after he ran out of the city.
Lin Qian was somewhat surprised to hear the message from Jin Diao; he hadn't expected the child to have such a strong determination.
Lin Qian had seen the boy's behavior tonight, so when he left, Lin Qian did not make things difficult for him and chose to let him go tacitly.
He just didn't expect that after he had let his prey escape on his own initiative, this guy would try to "walk into the trap" himself.
The tiger cub, having leaped to the front, remembered the human prey it had forgotten. However, its curiosity about humans had almost completely faded, so it didn't care at all. It didn't care about losing such a thin prey; it had plenty of food.
The tigress paused for a moment, suddenly remembering her snacks, but only for a second. She was too lazy to move, and it was impossible for her to go back.
Although the Great White Tiger had considered taking on subordinates before, it wasn't something it was interested in, and it was just a fleeting thought that it had long since forgotten.
Lin Qian hesitated for a moment as he watched Yongqi and his stepmother continue running.
The boy's personality seemed decent, and taking him back would provide an extra companion for daily life. However, human nature is complex, and Lin Qian feared that the group of beasts might be misled if they spent too much time together.
After all, everyone is still in a very simple and honest stage, without any ulterior motives, and is easily fooled, which is not what Lin Qian wants to see.
Tiger Head glanced back in the direction of the city, and Lin Qian chased after Courage and the others.
Seeing that the tigers didn't care, the Golden Eagle leader also stopped paying attention. The Golden Eagles continued to fly, no longer noticing the increasingly tiny figure behind them.
After running for a while, Lin Qian suddenly let out a low roar at the golden figures.
At the very back, Jin Diao turned its eyes, then spread its wings and flew back the way it came.
A few minutes later, the golden pheasant's cry came from afar. Lin Qian heard the reply "still following" and his eyes showed a complicated expression.
The wilderness was far from peaceful at dawn. The boy, carrying a bucket of water and a backpack, walked breathlessly along the lush forest path.
It's not really a forest path; it's just the trail left by Lin Qian and the others running back and forth. In a day or two, these trampled plants will stand up again and erase all traces.
The boy could no longer see any trace of the tiger. He didn't even know if the direction he was heading or the trail he was following belonged to them, but he held onto a deep conviction.
He wanted to keep going, he was determined to keep going!
Because he had no other choice!
If his initial running was a momentary impulse, then when he was exhausted and could no longer run, his mind began to clear.
After reflecting on his own circumstances and experiences, the boy realized that staying in the city would only lead to a slow and inevitable demise, like a frog being boiled in lukewarm water.

The city's water sources are being monopolized. He doesn't know where the water sources are, but he has already noticed that the water supply is decreasing. Although this decrease is not obvious yet, it is already happening. As long as the temperature does not drop, the city's water sources will eventually dry up.
Once the only water source dries up, the situation facing humanity will definitely not be any better than it is now!
If the water source dries up, he must leave the city and enter the forest. Since he will have to enter the forest sooner or later, why should he leave sooner?
Why not take a chance and gamble?
If he could keep up with the tiger, if he could reach the tiger's territory, wouldn't there be a glimmer of hope for his survival?
Thinking of this, a glimmer of light appeared in the boy's eyes. For some reason, he just believed that he could survive under the watchful eyes of the tigers.
