The longer the flower buds bloomed, the more peculiar the changes in the mutated vines became. Now, the mutated vines no longer exhibited consciousness; they seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
Both Lin Qian and Tiger Dad sensed a kind of 'transformation' from the vines.
Lin Qian speculated that the mutated vines were probably about to evolve and break through, since mutated vines are plants and it's normal that they are different from spirit beasts.
It was for this reason that Lin Qian finally decided to stay in the spiritual vein and use up all the spirit stones before leaving.
Since the spiritual veins are so beneficial to the mutated vines, he naturally wants to wait until the mutated vines successfully break through before leaving.
Lin Qian had actually considered leaving the mutated vine behind, but her father objected. Seeing how unwilling her father was, and also feeling uneasy about leaving the vine alone, she eventually abandoned the plan.
The same is true for Courage. Their spiritual veins have long been developed, and the creatures are nestled inside to escape the scorching heat. They also have plenty of spirit stones and crystals to absorb, making it a wonderful place.
Since their group didn't have any chipmunks, they couldn't possibly carry away so many spirit stones with just one cubic meter of space, so they didn't hesitate to start cultivating on the spot.
The area around Courage has more spiritual veins and spiritual stones, but fewer spiritual crystals compared to Lin Qian's area. Moreover, there are only four attributes: wind, ice, yang, and yin.
Only Courage and Stepmother can use these spirit crystals.
The other two types of spirit crystals are useless, but the two remaining spirit crystals can be stored away by Gu Bai.
Gu Bai put away the spirit crystal without any other intentions. It also had information about the inheritance of the spirit vein and knew that such things depended on luck.
Moreover, this is only the first spiritual vein they have excavated, and it is a primary spiritual vein. It is normal that the number of spiritual crystals is small.
It will find more spiritual veins and dig for higher-level ones later, and it will naturally be able to find mental crystals that it can use. It's not in a hurry!
Tiger Mom didn't react negatively to this. She was just curious about the spirit crystals, and after discovering that they were purer and easier to absorb than spirit stones, she understood the difference and stopped paying attention.
Among the group of Golden Jade creatures that were traveling with Courage, there were a few Golden Jade creatures with the wind attribute, and Courage also gave them some spirit crystals.
The little tiger cub wasn't stingy just because it was a spirit crystal he could use. Everyone had contributed, so it was only fair to divide the spoils.
Although this method of distribution is not entirely comprehensive at present, for example, Gu Bai and the others did not receive any spirit crystals because they did not have any suitable ones, which is actually unfair, it is already very considerate for simple-minded spirit beasts, and no one has any objections.
——
Beneath the high mountains, a long, seemingly endless herd of migrating animals moved slowly forward. The cold night temperature was not enough to frighten them, nor could it stop their progress.
Having survived the snow disaster caused by heavy snowfall, most animals now have thick enough fur to provide excellent protection against the cold.
If the daytime sun weren't so scorching, the animals might have long ago donned their thick fur again, instead of maintaining their current thinner coat.
On a distant mountain, a pack of hungry wolves gathered, their eerie eyes greedily watching the herd of beasts at the foot of the mountain.
The wolf pack was not only enormous, numbering over three hundred, but the wolves among them were all robust, possessing greater strength, sharper claws, and teeth.
They are a new pack of wolves that have grown and transformed amidst disaster.
Before the major earthquake, such a fearsome pack of wolves would have been no threat at all; their numbers would have been enough to sweep away all other animal groups.
But even now, they still haven't reached a level of power that allows them to be arrogant and domineering.
The bison herd, leading the pack far ahead, moved with heavy steps. They had sharp, gleaming horns, thick limbs, and elephant-like bodies that would deter most predators.
The herd of nearly a hundred bison was a formidable force. The leader, a blue bison, exuded the aura of a mid-level spirit beast. This was a spirit beast that had already reached level 4, and in the current environment, it was undoubtedly a powerful figure at the forefront.
Among the wolf pack, the gray alpha wolf narrowed its eyes, shifting its gaze away from the bison herd.
As a level four spirit beast, it was unsure whether it could suppress the other. In this era where superpowers are capital, not knowing the other's superpowers meant a huge risk.
But it doesn't want to take any risks.
Of course, in terms of both the number of the pack and the number of spirit beasts, the wolf pack undoubtedly has the advantage.
But this is not a one-on-one competition; it is a hunt in the wild.
They faced not only herds of bison, but also thousands upon thousands of other animals.
The wolf packs were only looking to fill their stomachs and didn't want to take any risks. So, amidst the footsteps of the herds, they quickly found suitable prey.
Hunting is never anyone's private domain; such a grand event often attracts uninvited participants.
As the pack of wolves charged down the hillside, their roar sounded like a gunshot, and chaos and howls began to intertwine.
Nearly three hundred wolves swiftly and accurately surrounded a herd of wild goats. The herd consisted of over one hundred wild goats, but very few spirit beasts. The only five first- or second-level spirit beasts among them were quickly surrounded and killed by the spirit beasts in the wolf pack.
With the powerful spirit goats almost entirely wiped out, the remaining ordinary goat herds were like fish on a chopping board.
The chaos among the wild goat herds and the wolf attacks were just one aspect of this long migration. The herds ran and fled; some survived, while others never saw the sun rise again.
In the face of natural disasters, both spirit beasts and wild beasts follow the most primitive way of survival.
