The spirit beasts are like three- to five-year-old children. They have enough intelligence to understand the world, but they are only just beginning to accumulate wisdom and their thinking has not yet changed.
Almost all spirit beasts still retain the habits and ways of thinking they had when they were wild animals. This is a major weakness for spirit beasts, and it is something that cannot be remedied or improved rapidly in a short period of time.
This is one of the reasons why Lin Qian has never stopped teaching Tiger Dad and Tiger Mom. The accumulation of knowledge and the enrichment of experience both require time to improve.
Even so, Tiger Mom and her companions are only slightly more agile in their thinking than other spirit beasts. If they were to actually face humans, they would likely be completely outmaneuvered by human intelligence based solely on their intellect.
Therefore, Lin Qian never had any intention of getting involved with humans. In fact, in order to isolate Tiger Dad and the others from human contact as much as possible, he even recruited Shanfeng into the team, intending to let Shanfeng take on any situations that might involve contact with humans.
But now, seeing the Western men and women and Amer's appearance, Lin Qian's thoughts became more complicated.
Needless to say, Amo's arrival was most likely due to his possession of a jade pendant, just like the others.
The appearance of that Western couple... is something worth pondering.
It seems that the Great Snow Mountain Secret Realm is not unique to their region; similar secret realms have also appeared in other parts of the world.
Those secret realms issued "keys" similar to jade tokens, which is why humans from other continents appeared.
While Lin Qian was deep in thought, Amo, who had moved aside and sat not far away, also fell into deep thought.
However, all his thoughts were about Lin Qian. If Lin Qian knew, he would probably be speechless.
Although Lin Qian didn't say a word or even change his expression, Amo keenly and clearly felt a sense of being seen through.
The feeling was as if he were facing not a newly awakened beast, but a human being, a mature human being!
This failure was terrible for Amer, not just because of the issue of cooperation, but because of the threat that animals pose to humans.
Amo noticed Lin Qian's high intelligence and maturity, so he subconsciously assumed that beasts had evolved to the same level as humans. This discovery instilled countless fears in Amo.
The reason why humans are superior to other species is entirely due to their intelligence.
Today, animals have evolved, become more intelligent, and are increasingly resembling humans. In fact, one day in the future, these animals may very well surpass humans!
At that time, will humans still have room to survive, or rather, will they still have a favorable living environment?
Just thinking about a future where countless animals possess intelligence like humans, and even establish nations...
"Woo..." Sensing Amo's tension, Afu flicked its tail and smoothed his sweaty back.
When the little master is scared or nervous, Afu does this, and it is very effective.
Amo turned his head and saw Afu's slightly worried and questioning eyes, and the fear and chill in his heart immediately disappeared.
Coming to his senses, Amo even felt that he was being too pessimistic. The world had already become like this, and it was questionable whether humanity could even survive. Why was he thinking about something so far in the future?
Honestly, I've been using Yeguo Reading to read and follow my favorite books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and is compatible with both Android and Apple devices. (yeguoyuedu)
Besides, humans have been domesticating wild animals since ancient times, so why can't they domesticate mythical beasts in the future?
The fact that pets like Afu in the city evolved into spirit beasts is the best proof that there must be a way.
Even if one day in the future, the monsters really do grow to a huge size, and humanity falls from its peak, what does that have to do with him?
As long as he is strong enough to protect the people he wants to protect, that's enough.
As for the strength of a race, to be honest, after experiencing so much, he really has little expectation of humanity.
Survival of the fittest.
In this mutated new world, everything can only be verified by time; there's nothing he can do, and nothing humanity can do either.
Having roughly figured out these key points, Amo's expression quickly returned to calm.
Afu tucked its tail and lay down to one side, ignoring what had just happened to Amo. It wasn't used to thinking about overly complicated things.
Although Afu is already a spirit beast, humans still occupy too much of Afu's life.
From birth, it saw the image of humans in its eyes. After being weaned, it was taken away by Yao Yao's parents and brought to Yao Yao's home to become a pet guard dog.
In Afu's mind, Yaoyao and the others are its closest companions.
Therefore, it is impossible for it to have the same natural wariness towards humans as wild animals like Yongqi. In fact, if it weren't for the villagers' betrayal, Afu wouldn't be wary of humans at all.
Afu's state is a reflection of those pet spirit beasts among humans.
Although they are beasts, they are not true "beasts".
They used to lack sufficient intelligence, but now, as their intelligence continues to develop, they have gradually acquired "humanity."
Just like Afu, it had the concept of owner and family from the beginning, then the concept of city life, and then the concept of distinguishing between good and bad humans and how to survive among humans.
And now, it has the concept of teammates.
These things gradually increase with Afu's experiences. In the future, the longer it stays with humans and the more human society it sees, the closer its wisdom will become to that of humans.
