Under the moonlit sky, the dilapidated city was covered by withered vegetation. Just over a year ago, it was a bustling and prosperous place, but in the blink of an eye, it seemed to have been in ruins for decades.
Countless buildings are covered by thick layers of dead branches and leaves. Who would have thought that these withered plants once grew wildly overnight and covered the entire city in just a few days?
However, even the strongest plant will wither and die within a few days under the constant scorching sun, having lost its moisture.
Two figures silently approached the city ruins under the moonlight and against the biting cold wind; it was Lin Qian and Yong Qi.
Lin Qian glanced at the city ruins, then continued forward with courage. The cold of the night had no effect on them; nighttime was their best time to move.
Courage had no curiosity about human cities; it only wanted to move quickly to the shore it had never seen before.
My brother said that there is a sea in the south, which is a place where water gathers in a much larger way than lakes and rivers, but unfortunately, the water there is not drinkable.
Otherwise, Yongqi was even considering taking Tiger Dad and the others to live there. Although they could find water now, it wasn't much. Even though they weren't afraid of the scorching heat, the lack of water still troubled Tiger.
Lin Qian was quite satisfied with Yongqi's enthusiasm. This guy was naturally very curious, and it would be very beneficial for him to come out and see a wider world.
"Ouch." Brother, hurry up.
The night wind blew along with a low growl, and Lin Qian reluctantly increased his speed. The only trouble with traveling was probably speed.

On the mountain, Tiger Dad is calling a meeting with the spirit beasts.
Yes, Tiger Dad has already learned the management skill of holding meetings. Although Lin Qian did not teach him, Tiger Dad and the others have actually learned it through observation and exposure.
Five days have passed since Lin Qian and Yongqi left. At first, everyone was a little worried and absent-minded, but under Tiger Dad's supervision, the spirit beasts no longer have the mind to worry.
Don't let Tiger Dad's sometimes goofy demeanor fool you; he's incredibly reliable when it comes to getting things done.
Tiger Dad has now completely arranged the situation on the mountain. The patrol teams and the teams going out are all in good order. The foundation of a force is beginning to take shape.
Today, Tiger Dad convened a meeting of spirit beasts to discuss the next step of the plan: to excavate low-level spirit veins.
Whether it's their own cultivation or the development of the group, they all need spirit stones and spirit crystals from the spiritual veins; resources are always a necessity.
Tiger Dad and his ilk understood this without even having to learn it.
The porcupine and leopard were the most enthusiastic, immediately expressing their desire to be in the first wave, and Tiger Dad readily agreed.
After a long while, the porcupine and the leopard were completely dumbfounded as they looked at the group of ordinary spirit beasts behind them.
This... these are the team members that the Tiger King assigned to them? All ordinary beasts?!
"Waaah!" What are you standing there for? Let's get going!
Gu Bai gave a low growl to the two stunned spirit beasts, impolitely, as it would have to rush back to lead the next group once they arrived!
Yes, Gu Bai is only responsible for leading the way and will not stay in the spirit vein area with the excavation team. After all, it is the only beast in the team with a map for guidance.
So after discussing it, Tiger Dad and Tiger Mom decided to let Gu Bai fully utilize his guiding abilities, leading the group until he finished and then returning to lead the next group.
Three golden pheasants hovered overhead, emitting urgent calls; they were both patrolmen and monitors accompanying the group.
Although the porcupines are new members, they haven't had much contact yet. To prevent these newly joined spirit beasts from having other ideas, monitoring is necessary.
Jin Diao is the best monitor. Of course, only two Jin Diao are assigned to a team, and the other is just to speed up the return of Gu Bai.
As you can see, a golden claw in the sky is holding a rattan ball-like object, which is the seat that Gu Bai returned to.
The woven vines were naturally provided by Bai Teng, who also thoughtfully customized the size for Gu Bai, providing a large enough area for sleeping and resting.
When they set off, Gu Bai could no longer stay in its seat, because it had to lead the way. If it flew in the sky with Jin Diao, how could it lead the beasts on the ground?
However, Gu Bai can rest when they return. Jin Diao remembers the routes they have flown very clearly, and once they have traveled the same route, they can find the fastest way back.
Although the porcupine and the leopard were among the first to set off, the location that Gu Bai took them to was only a primary spiritual vein. For such a primary spiritual vein, the six spirit beasts were more than capable of breaking through the formation.
Tiger Dad has already arranged the second and third teams, just waiting for Gu Bai to come back and take them away.
The giant panda mother and cub led the second group, which included a large number of strong ordinary wild animals as well as three newly joined mythical creatures.
The area they planned for was a mid-level spiritual vein, so the need for excavation and breaking the formation was greater.
The third group was led by Tiger Dad himself, and they decided to try their luck at a high-level spiritual vein.
The three teams were assigned, but not all the spirit beasts were moved away. After all, this mountain range was their base camp, so they couldn't be left unattended.
Therefore, the female Golden Eagle stayed behind with five Golden Eagles to oversee the operation, along with some newly joined spirit beasts that were of little use in the excavation, such as Rice Ball and Thrush.
If Lin Qian knew all this, he would be very surprised. He probably couldn't have imagined that Tiger Dad and the others would grow so quickly, not only learning "management" from him, but also being able to think of related problems and solutions on their own.
This kind of progress is not the same as advancing in strength to the level of a spirit beast. Relatively speaking, the accumulation and growth of knowledge is much more difficult to achieve.
