Of course, this was just the beginning. After tinkering for a whole day, Lin Qian finally dug the necessary openings for the roof, since all the tigers were quite large.
The sheds weren't built all at once, but rather divided into four separate sections.
Well, the tigers have three rooms, so the panda mother and cub should also have one.
As for Shanfeng, the young man, he learned from Lin Qian's method and used vines to help build a lot of wooden plank walls, but he hadn't even started working on his own dwelling yet.
Shanfeng didn't plan to live under the tree; instead, he wanted to build his dwelling in the tree. Naturally, it would be safer up in the tree than under it. He knew that his small arms and legs were no match for any wild beasts, and hiding in the tree would avoid some dangers.
Don't let its small and thin appearance fool you; it learned to climb trees during its escape.
Lin Qian had no objection to this. He wouldn't offer Shan Feng much help, but he could prepare materials like planks for him. However, he wouldn't help with the construction. Nevertheless, Lin Qian kindly helped dig the opening to secure the roof, since it was simply wishful thinking to expect the boy to dig trees with his bare hands without tools.
With the fixed opening for the roof, Shanfeng was quite satisfied. He wouldn't complain that the tiger didn't help him build the house, because he knew he had no right to ask for anything.
Shanfeng knew that if he wanted to stay by the tiger's side, he had to prove his worth. So he wasn't in a hurry to find shelter. He had been eating and sleeping in the open for more than ten days, so a day or two wouldn't make a difference.
The mountain breeze helped with tasks like drying grass all afternoon. Since Yuan Gu wasn't wearing clothes, he had some minor scratches on his body, but Lin Qian didn't care since he was fine.
Although he had more and more small cuts on his hands, Shanfeng felt incredibly strong, as if he had an inexhaustible source of power within him. He had been busy all afternoon, sweat pouring down his face like rain, yet he didn't feel tired at all. This was all thanks to spiritual energy; Lin Qian and Tiger Dad had given him a considerable amount of it beforehand.
Seeing that Lin Qian and the others had stopped moving, Shan Feng knew that they had finished their work. The boy looked at the sunset and felt like he had rushed into the stream to wash himself clean.
This time, I didn't use soap. It was just sweat and mud and grass juice, which could be washed off with water. I wanted to save money.
As the sun set, the temperature began to drop rapidly.
Shanfeng put on his clothes. Fortunately, although the clothes had just been washed during the day, they dried in two hours under the scorching sun. Shanfeng initially put the clothes out to dry in the sun, but he took them in after half an hour. He was afraid they would get damaged if he didn't take them in, since this was the only set of clothes he had at the moment.
It's good that he was wearing long sleeves and trousers, two layers, otherwise he would have frozen to death or gotten sick at night without clothes. Getting sick at this time is not a good thing. Without medicine, you can only rely on yourself to get through it. It's really a matter of life and death.
Lin Qian glanced at Shan Feng. Although the boy's clothes were a bit torn, they were still warm enough. Let's leave it like this for now and get some animal hides when the chipmunk comes back.
They certainly didn't have any cloth, but they had collected quite a few animal hides. However, most of them had been stored in the tiger's den, so this loss was unexpected.
Fortunately, the materials like spirit beast hides were always kept in the chipmunk's space; otherwise, Lin Qian felt incredibly regretful just thinking about how they would have been completely devoured. The sun was setting completely, and the dim night was falling, but the chipmunk and Courage still hadn't returned.
Lin Qian was a little worried, after all, it was a new place, but when he thought about Qiong's speed, his worries lessened. If the little guy couldn't beat him, he could definitely outrun him, and even if he encountered any danger, he should be able to survive.
Meanwhile, Courage was indeed not in danger, but the little guy's love of joining in the fun delayed its return home.
The chipmunk perched on Courage's fluffy tiger head, its tiny paws stroking the tiger's ears, its body pressed tightly against the back of Courage's head.
Courage stood atop a large tree, gazing at the scene in the distance.
A hundred meters from where Courage stood, a duel was unfolding. Three snow-white leopard cubs huddled together, trembling, in a tree, watching their mother and the approaching enemy with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness. Below, a lithe mother snow leopard was locked in a standoff with a snow fox.
Yes, fox. In this drastically changed world, a fox actually dared to provoke a leopard, and the provocation was successful.
Of course, provocation comes at a price, especially when it provoked a mother leopard with cubs.
"Roar!" The snow fox bared its teeth, revealing a ferocious expression, as if it was about to launch an attack.
Just as the mother snow leopard was waiting expectantly, the snow fox's eyes suddenly lit up with a deep blue light.
The female snow leopard, who had been wary and angry, froze instantly when she met those eyes. The snow fox's lips curled slightly, and a hint of smugness appeared in its eyes.
With a single stride, it brazenly extended its sharp claws to grab the snow leopard's head! The snow fox's goal wasn't to fight the snow leopard; it was to kill it!
As creatures living on the snow-capped mountains, the snow fox used to be terrified of the snow leopard. However, after the appearance of the Great Snow Mountain, it inexplicably entered the Snow Mountain Secret Realm and obtained a spiritual fruit. After that, it successfully became a spirit beast. Although it was only at level one, it was still a transformative change.
No longer a wild beast, it became intelligent, more cunning, and increasingly vengeful.
Normally, it wouldn't deliberately cause trouble for the snow leopard, but because of the mutated ant colony, almost all the animals came to this side of the river. Coincidentally, the snow fox, which was looking for a new home, encountered its former "neighbor".
As a spirit beast, the snow fox could tell at a glance that the snow leopard was breaking through the barrier to becoming a spirit beast. In other words, the snow leopard was not yet a spirit beast, but it had accumulated enough spiritual power. Apart from not having awakened any special abilities, its physical strength was almost the same as that of a level one spirit beast.
