The tiger father had no idea what the prey in his mouth was thinking. He picked it up and started running. The tiger father didn't care about the mountain wind at all. He ran very fast. The feeling of being shaken was getting stronger and stronger. The mountain wind was shaken so badly that he felt terrible.
Once they reached the forest, the tigers stopped only after finding a water source.
"Smack..."
"Squeak???"
The chipmunk approached the pale-faced boy, whose limbs were weak, and looked at Shanfeng's extremely frail appearance with some concern.
Is this guy going to die?!
Lin Qian only remembered Shan Feng when he heard the chipmunk's cry. He went over to take a look and exclaimed, "Good heavens, could this kid be that unlucky?!"
Thinking about Tiger Dad's speed, Lin Qian felt a little guilty; he had forgotten to remind Tiger Dad not to run too fast.
Thinking of Tiger Dad's running style as he traversed the mountains and forests, Lin Qian reasonably suspected that if he were carrying a basket of eggs, Tiger Dad would shake the yolks until they were scattered.
Seeing the unconscious Shan Feng, Lin Qian was genuinely worried. He immediately had the chipmunk give him some water, and then extended his spiritual sense to transfer some spiritual energy to him.
With the soothing effect of spiritual energy, Shan Feng's condition improved considerably. The boy was still dazed and confused, but his complexion had gradually recovered and was no longer as pale and terrifying as before.
Lin Qian sighed inwardly. He had been a tiger for so long that he had forgotten the fragility of humankind.
This is understandable, given that the animals around are all strong and powerful. It's hard to remember them in a short time. When you're carrying them, you might occasionally think of them, but once they're out of sight, you naturally forget about them.
Watching his cubs' actions, the tiger father silently turned his back. Oh no, it seems he's damaged his cubs' prey!
Thinking of his two "doting" cubs, the tiger father felt guilty and shifted his body. After the chipmunk and Lin Qian left, the big tiger sidled up to them.
The tiger gently patted the boy's chest with its paw, secretly transferring some spiritual energy to him, and then quickly withdrew its paw.
The big cub said that spiritual energy can heal, and it has given this fragile prey all its spiritual energy. It should be able to survive, right?
Tiger Dad tilted his head, looking at the sleeping boy with some uncertainty.
The tiger glanced disdainfully at the unconscious boy, thinking that this prey was not strong at all, and wondered why it had brought the cub back.
Although he was disgusted, Tiger Dad had a pretty good idea of what was going on. As long as the prey Lin Qian brought back was alive, it was basically useful and not meant to be eaten. Otherwise, Tiger Dad wouldn't have felt guilty, and he wouldn't have wasted his spiritual energy.
Tiger Dad hesitated for a moment. He has a straightforward personality and doesn't like to overthink things. Anyway, he's already taken remedial measures, so he'll just leave it at that.
When Lin Qian and his group arrived at their destination, they set up their nest. This time, their water source was a small lake formed by a stream. The lake wasn't very big; a whole family of tigers could probably fill it up by swimming around in it.
The stream wasn't wide, only a little over a meter, and the water was shallow, but what was wonderful was that the water was icy cold, clearly not exposed to the sun, which was very rare in the increasingly hot weather.
Courage, curious about the stream, has already headed upstream.
The chipmunk followed, the little guy heartbroken at losing his food stash, planning to go back into the forest to gather a new batch. Watching the busy tigers, the panda mother thought for a moment, then placed her cub near the mountain breeze, and joined the tigers in rummaging around nearby, also wanting a comfortable place to rest.
Lin Qian and the others were indeed digging, because there were no waterfall-like cliffs here, not even slopes. Making a nest seemed a bit unrealistic…
Lin Qian thought about it and realized that building a shed was the only option.
The shed is not for escaping the heat, but for preventing rain and keeping warm at night. Although the possibility of rain seems low at present, it is still necessary to take precautions.
Keeping warm is essential, as daytime temperatures rise and nighttime temperatures fall, already dropping to 10°C and likely to drop below zero in a few days.
Having experienced the severe snow disaster, Lin Qianke doesn't think everyone needs to keep warm. Being physically strong is one thing, but whether or not you keep warm is another. Besides, everyone has lost a lot of their fur.
There are layers of shaded trees to escape the summer heat, and a small lake where you can take a bath, so there are basically no problems.
The shed that Lin Qian built certainly couldn't be like the ones humans build; the only raw materials were vines and tree trunks, so he had to improvise.
Tiger Dad returned from cutting down the tree, while Tiger Mom used her sharp claws to cut the thick trunk into planks. Lin Qian painstakingly tore at the vines and tied the planks together one by one.
The panda mother and stepmother harvested wild grasses like thatch and large, tough leaves like banana leaves from nearby, then dried them in the sun. After drying, they laid them on a wooden plank roof to prevent rainwater from leaking down.
Thinking about all this, Lin Qian regretted not looking for something like plastic sheeting in the supermarket. However, he couldn't have foreseen that his house would be destroyed when he returned. Regretful as it was, he could only make do for now.
Having chosen a spot, Lin Qian nimbly climbed the thick tree trunk, raised his claws, and began to "mutilate" the tree.
Without tools like nails, it's naturally more secure to fix it in a tree.
Fortunately, the trees nowadays are all very thick and sturdy, with trees that are a meter in diameter being commonplace; otherwise, Lin Qian's current size would make it difficult for him to climb trees.
Just as Lin Qian was scratching at the tree trunk and breaking off small branches, the mountain breeze in the grass stirred. The boy looked at the lush canopy with some confusion, then suddenly sat up.
Turning around in a panic, he saw the busy tigers before him, and his tense body immediately relaxed.
Thank goodness, thank goodness I wasn't left behind...
"Waaah...?"
