But Gu Bai wasn't a single-minded spirit beast; after thinking it over, it decided to give its leader face.
Tiger Dad glanced at his wife and children, then ran towards the burrow without hesitation. He wasn't tired, and he didn't want to rest. Tiger was going to dig for spirit stones!
The tigress slowly chewed the last piece of fruit and looked up at the vine house.
With a flick of its paw, the tiger silently formed an ice ball for itself.
The white tiger, embracing the ice hockey puck, immediately squinted its eyes contentedly, its large tail swishing back and forth, and remained in the same position.
Now that she's a level 4 spirit beast's stepmother, she can easily use her spiritual power to gather water vapor and condense ice balls. However, this would consume significantly more spiritual power, whereas freezing readily available water would require almost no spiritual power.
However, water is still mainly for eating and drinking, so the stepmother didn't waste any. Now that everyone is together, safety is guaranteed, and there's no need to deliberately conserve spiritual energy.
This area is also rich in spiritual energy. With the appearance of spiritual veins, the water source in this area has gradually recovered, and there is enough water vapor. Therefore, the stepmother does not need much spiritual power to condense it, otherwise she would not be willing to waste it like that.
This ice ball was indeed a waste, because Stepmother herself is of the ice attribute, and her body temperature is much lower than that of other spirit beasts. If she mobilizes her spiritual power, she can be almost unaffected by the weather.
The hobby of condensing ice balls is entirely a personal hobby of the stepmother; the big white tiger likes to sleep while hugging the cool ice ball.
Spirit beasts tend to prefer things that align with their own attributes. For example, Lin Qian actually sleeps more comfortably in the sunlight, but his human experience sometimes makes him subconsciously cling to his old habits.
After all, compared to his time as a human, his tiger life was only three years, and for a while, some memories and subconscious habits would still have an impact.
As the moon rose high in the sky, a joyous roar of beasts suddenly resounded from the ground.
"Roar~~"
The tiger father held a spirit stone and growled happily, looking completely silly with joy.
The mother panda carried a spirit stone in her mouth and placed it in the arms of her rolling cub. This little guy howled and yelped whenever he saw the spirit stone. What a nuisance!
The other spirit beasts didn't get any spirit stones, but they weren't worried. They excitedly continued digging in the direction where Tiger Dad had dug out the spirit stones.
Soon, a dazzling light appeared in the cave, illuminating the eyes of all the spirit beasts, making them sparkle.
Even the three spirit beasts that were doing hard labor got excited. Before they could make a move, three vines suddenly stretched out and tied their hind legs together.
The porcupine was the first to fall flat on its face, followed closely by the antelope and the leopard. The tiger father put down the spirit stone, strode over, and looked down coldly at the three captives lying on the ground.
The porcupine shuddered at the cold, piercing gaze, its mind instantly clearing from the distraction caused by the spirit stone. The antelope and leopard also trembled, filled with regret for their impulsive actions.
"Roar!" Get to work properly, or you'll be cooking!
The tiger let out a powerful growl, gave a warning, and then turned and left.
It had to go dig for spirit stones over there, so it didn't have time to deal with them. If it didn't need laborers right now, it would have killed those three spirit beasts on the spot and fed them directly to the spirit mines.
Inside the cave, a family of tigers, along with a mother and cub of pandas, were digging diligently, while chipmunks, snow foxes, mountain winds, and Hundred Vine were collecting materials efficiently.
The main body of the Hundred Vine was moved directly from above into the cave. Its roots took hold and headed straight for the spiritual vein below. The sooner it came into contact with the spiritual energy in the spiritual vein, the sooner it could produce spiritual liquid flower buds.
The group of spirit beasts paid close attention to Bai Teng. The moment they saw the vine ball, they quickly cleared the area around it, making room for Bai Teng.
"Left! Left side!"
A childlike voice suddenly rang out; it was Bai Teng who had sensed the location of the spiritual vein underground and immediately alerted everyone.
Bai Teng has just learned to say some simple words, and now she's really into it. Whenever she can use a new word, she'll use it.
Shanfeng felt quite accomplished about this, and the boy smiled, his gaze towards Baiteng even carrying a hint of affection.
Lin Qian and the others didn't care much about Bai Teng's language. Whether it was "uh-huh" or "ah-ah" or the rich vocabulary of humans, they received it through spiritual perception. So no matter how Bai Teng spoke, it didn't matter to them at all.
The only one who benefited was Shanfeng, the boy who lived among the beasts, who finally had someone to talk to.
After frantic digging, most of the spirit vein was finally exposed, and a small mountain of spirit stones had already formed in the middle, along with a small pile of spirit crystals.
At this point, everyone gradually slowed down. They all knew that if they dug too fast, they wouldn't be able to take the animals with them; they would have to absorb them all here. So, once they had dug up a certain amount, they weren't in a hurry anymore.
Lin Qian had the chipmunk pack a portion and send it to Jin Diaoqun. The three prisoners also rushed outside, leaving Jin Diaoqun to watch over them.
The cave is now full of spirit stones, and it's not safe to leave outside beasts inside.
Then Lin Qian gathered everyone together, and each beast received a share of spirit stones and spirit crystals. The spirit crystals that were suitable for the attribute were also distributed. The proportion of spirit stones and spirit crystals in the intermediate-level spirit vein was much higher.
The spirit crystals unearthed this time have a variety of attributes, and each spirit beast in the team has a corresponding spirit crystal available, only the quantity varies.
Everyone immediately began practicing their skills after receiving their share of the supplies.
Gu Bai hugged a spirit crystal and squinted his eyes happily. The primary spirit veins they had visited before did not produce spirit crystals, and the few that Lin Qian had dug out had all been used up. So this was the first time Gu Bai had touched a spirit crystal that belonged to him.
