The dolphins paused when they saw Lin Qian. These land animals were completely unfamiliar to them; it was the first time they had ever seen them, so they were all quite curious.
[I highly recommend Yeguo Reading; it's really good for tracking books. You can download it here: yeguoyuedu. Give it a try!]
But led by the dolphin leader, the dolphin pod quickly regained its senses and moved to the side.
After touching the barrier, the dolphins were puzzled for a moment. When they turned around and saw Lin Qian and the others lying there, they immediately understood and rested on the spot.
Lin Qian found it quite fascinating to see dolphins that could move on land like seals. Indeed, with the revival of spiritual energy, anything is possible.
He recognized the species of the dolphins: Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins, a Class I protected animal in China, often called the "giant panda of the water," and a very precious species of dolphin.
Although named "white dolphin," newborn white dolphins are dark gray, young ones are gray, and adults are pink.
The Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins are highly prized for their sightseeing. In coastal areas where Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins have been spotted, tour routes have been established specifically to take tourists out to sea to see them.
However, Lin Qian had never been there; he had only seen one episode of a documentary about the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin.
Of course, these white dolphins that evolved into spirit beasts were somewhat different from the ones he saw in the video.
He couldn't really see any change in size, since he hadn't seen it in person and couldn't compare, but it probably hadn't increased much and was about the same size as the dolphins he'd seen at the aquarium.
The most noticeable changes are in the flippers and tail lobes, with the tail lobes appearing to have increased in proportion.
If the previous flippers resembled fish fins, the current flippers are more like the flippers of a seal, but they do not yet have toes. However, if you look closely, you can see the shape of toes at the ends of the flippers, so they are probably still evolving.
That makes sense. If it didn't grow larger and evolve real limbs, even if it had the strength to support its weight, the length and shape of its flippers would make it inconvenient to move on land.
While Lin Qian and the others were watching the dolphin pod, the dolphins were also turning their heads to clearly see the six land animals.
Yes, everyone made it very clear that they were 'sizing each other up', without any attempt to hide it.
Meeting the dolphins' bright, piercing eyes, Lin Qian suddenly had a flash of inspiration!
No wonder he always found these white dolphins particularly pleasing to the eye; it turns out they've lost their small eyes and nearsightedness!
Those round, dark, and bright eyes instantly boost her looks several times over!
It is important to know that the original Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin had relatively small eyes and poor eyesight, and it mainly relied on its echolocation system to determine the position and direction of objects.
But now, these white dolphins are completely different. Their eyes have evolved, and they are no longer hindered by their vision when moving on land!
Thinking of this, Lin Qian's heart trembled slightly. Did this mean that some marine mammals, like the white dolphin, would return to life on land?
Or rather, they will be perfectly amphibious!
Shocked by his discovery, Lin Qian had a lot of thoughts and ideas flashing through his mind, but now was not the time to think about such nonsense. What the future of the ocean and land would be like, and what changes would occur in species, were not things he needed to think about, much less things he could interfere with. Thinking about them too much would be of no use.
No matter what the world becomes in the future, what he needs to do is to keep getting stronger, to make his family and his team strong enough to stay at the top of the pyramid.
Only by being strong enough can one be unafraid of any change!
Meanwhile, many figures appeared in other parts of the barrier.
There are many like Lin Qian and his group who suddenly appear halfway up the mountain and then climb upwards, but most of them climb up the rocky mountain from the sea.
In other words, this time it's the marine life's home turf.
As more and more spirit beasts reached the barrier, Lin Qian and his companions became increasingly vigilant and refrained from hunting any lone spirit beasts.
If you want to eat spirit beasts, it will be easier to do so once you enter the secret realm. After all, there are so many marine creatures outside. Although they may not necessarily join forces, it's still better to be careful.
After all, they only had six spirit beasts, and they were no match for this group.
Ultimately, it comes down to a lack of strength...
Lin Qian's heart sank slightly as he looked at the large number of level-three spirit beasts.
He never expected that marine life would evolve so quickly after the spiritual energy revival. You know, the number of level three land spirit beasts he had seen was very small, only about 20%, while marine spirit beasts had reached nearly 40%.
This directly demonstrates that marine spirit beasts are nearly twice as powerful as land-based ones, a truly enormous difference!
A sense of urgency instantly filled Lin Qian's mind. He no longer cared when the secret realm would open, but instead focused all his attention on observing the marine spirit beasts.
Before the spiritual energy revival, the ocean's resources were no worse than those of the land, and were even richer. Unexpectedly, the same is true after the spiritual energy revival. This is not a good thing for Lin Qian and his group!
"Awooo..." Courage, standing to the side, looked at the increasing number of unfamiliar creatures, and his fur seemed to stand on end.
The sheer number of level-three spirit beasts instantly heightened the tiger cub's sense of danger, and he's now fully prepared for battle, showing no signs of leisure or composure.
The chipmunk and snow fox had already hidden themselves away, huddled between Lin Qian and Yong Qi, their thick tiger fur covering them completely. They didn't even dare to peek out. The snow fox, in particular, was the only level 2 spirit beast in the group, making it seem weak and helpless.
...
Liangcheng.
Inside the small building.
Yao Yao and A Xu were scratching their heads in anxiety because A Fu and A Mo had suddenly disappeared into thin air!
