Running at full speed, the tigers reached the vicinity of the large river in the middle of the basin. Without hesitation, the tiger father and mother rushed into the river, and the two tigers quickly swam towards the other side.
The mother panda followed closely behind, carrying her cub in her mouth, followed by a herd of animals galloping in.
The ant swarm that chased the river to the bank consisted initially of black and red ants. They seemed oblivious to the river water as they pursued it, only to be instantly swept away by the surging current.
The bright red ants that followed were more agile. They lingered by the riverbank, making no move to cross, clearly still afraid of water.
The long antennae retracted as soon as they touched the cold river water, and then the ant colony quickly turned around and continued to move forward along the dense grassland.
The nearby animals all rushed toward the riverbank, regardless of whether they could swim or survive in the raging water, they all plunged into the river.
The river is a bit shallower than when Lin Qian and his companions first arrived, probably due to the recent rise in temperature.
A red tide of ants flowed across the grassland, leaving behind a desolate and barren landscape.
The tiger parents looked at the desolate scene on the other side of the river and showed a hint of panic. The forests and grasslands without plants were simply not suitable for living, which was the reason for their worry.
Of course, what's even more worrying is the ant swarm; no one knows if the ants will come back after they've eaten all the vegetation on the other side.
The ordinary animals breathed a sigh of relief as they struggled to swim across the river. No animal dared approach Tiger Dad and his spirit beasts, and they all scattered. The riverbank was cleared away in an instant, except for Tiger Dad and his companions who were still warily watching the departing ant swarm, and the other spirit beasts in the basin.
These spirit beasts included both land animals and birds, but most were only level two, with only three being level three. They were the deer chieftain couple and the reindeer chieftain.
The red deer leader and the tiger family had some connection, but they weren't very familiar with the tiger parents. Since they didn't see Yongqi and Lin Qian, the two of them didn't go forward, after all, tigers prey on deer.
I hadn't noticed while I was fleeing for my life, but once I reached the other side and escaped the ant swarm, I looked up and saw two ferocious beasts beside me.
The leader of the sika deer was startled, and the wet sika deer that had just gathered immediately scattered to the side.
On the other side, the reindeer leader stood with his herd on the riverbank, his pale red eyes silently watching the ants on the opposite bank, especially the brightly colored red ones. He sensed a similar energy fluctuation emanating from them—the energy of a heavy rain.
But the reindeer leader didn't make any move. Although it had absorbed a lot of the rain's energy, it mainly relied on spiritual power. It had already refined and absorbed that energy, but the restless aura still lingered. Its temper was always unstable because of this aura. It knew something was wrong, but it couldn't do anything about it and couldn't think of a solution.
When its own situation becomes unstable, the reindeer leader is very "conservative." It will not easily approach other herds, let alone come into contact with spirit beasts.
The reindeer leader glanced at the two tigers exuding powerful auras, raised his head and let out a cry before leading the reindeer away.
"Tap tap—tap tap—"
Hearing the sound of deer hooves running, the deer chief and his wife turned around and looked over.
Seeing the herd of reindeer running, the two red deer both had a hint of envy in their eyes, wishing their herd could be as strong as that.
This strength doesn't refer to physical size; in terms of physique, the red deer and reindeer are actually about the same size nowadays.
However, in terms of momentum and strength, the red deer herd is clearly far inferior to the reindeer herd. The reindeer herd is like a well-trained army, led by its leader, obeying orders, cooperating as one, and showing no fear.
This can be seen when both sides and Tiger Dad are in the same area.
The panicked red deer were clearly no match for the reindeer herd that waited quietly for commands. As the ant colony continued its advance, the basin, which had been calm for a moment, was awakened once more. The night wind, carrying occasional howls, slowly swept in, and the rushing river splashed water repeatedly.
Jin Diao and the others continued to observe the movement of the ant colony, while Lin Qian and his companions finally reached the steep mountain peak.
Standing atop a mountain peak at the edge of the basin, one can take in the entire landscape, including the running herds of animals and the spreading red expanse.
Lin Qian was quite satisfied with the cooperation of the mountain wind. Now that the test had been passed, Lin Qian would naturally not easily abandon the boy who had followed them.
Moreover, their group is indeed lacking a bright and clever member. Right now, only the chipmunk is considered agile. The little guys take care of weaving and making things, but these handicrafts are naturally far inferior to human handicrafts.
By the way, the best app for reading aloud right now is Yeguo Reading (yeguoyuedu). Install the latest version.
Moreover, handicrafts, cleaning, making juice, and similar tasks do not require much strength; they mainly require dexterity.
Yes, this boy is quite suitable for these kinds of jobs. Don't talk about child labor or being underage; Lin Qian doesn't care.
Let's not even talk about how things are different now than before. Even if they were, so what? It's still a tiger, how dare it roar!
Although they were worried about human intelligence, the boy in front of them was just an ordinary person, not an awakened one. This meant that he had no ability to threaten them. Even if something went wrong, they could prevent it instantly. It could be said that there was almost no danger in taking the boy back.
Of course, this isn't 100% certain. It's possible that Shanfeng might awaken supernatural abilities or develop other ideas over time.
