The little flying squirrel leader had his reasons for answering. They had long been worried and afraid of the mutated earthworm swarm. If one day the mutated earthworm swarm could burrow into this hillside that had not become a swamp, their group would face annihilation!
Now that two powerful spirit beasts are willing to eliminate their mortal enemy, the little flying squirrel leader is naturally more than willing.
Whether or not the mutated earthworms can be completely eliminated, this matter is beneficial to them.
As for the risk of attracting mutated earthworms, although it is somewhat dangerous, it is not significant for the flying squirrels that have evolved into spirit beasts. Flying squirrels are already agile animals, and although their size has increased significantly after evolution, their agility and speed have also been enhanced.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the courage to pin down a small flying squirrel.
Several days later, towering flames burned fiercely under the blazing sun. The moist silt above the swamp was scorched and cracked, and countless fragments of the mutated earthworms were burned into charcoal ash, turning into black fragments that blended into the scorched swamp.
The swarm of flying squirrels watched the mutated earthworms burn to death, letting out excited chirps and joyful roars that echoed throughout the swamp.
Courage and Lin Qian stood in the sunlight. Both tigers had very little spiritual power left, and Lin Qian's spiritual power was completely exhausted.
The number of mutated earthworms was simply too great. If it weren't for the bonus from using Yang Fire during the hottest part of the day, Lin Qian might not have been able to keep the Yang Fire burning for so long.
Although there were some unexpected events during the process, the result was undoubtedly good. None of the flying squirrel spirit beasts that were dispatched died, although some were injured, which was unavoidable.
Fortunately, as long as it's not a matter of missing an arm or a leg, physical injuries are just a matter of how long it takes for a spirit beast to recover.
The little flying squirrel leader was not dissatisfied with this; from the moment it answered the question, it had anticipated that there would be casualties.
But for the survival of its kind, it still chose to make this decision.
If they are not injured at this time, these spirit beasts will be injured by the mutated earthworm swarm at some point in the future, and they will even have a greater chance of losing their lives.
Therefore, this opportunity is extremely rare for the flying squirrel swarm. They have a speed advantage, and as long as they don't directly confront the attack of the mutated earthworm swarm, their survival shouldn't be a problem.
If Lin Qianhe hadn't been brave enough to take charge of killing them, the group of flying squirrels wouldn't have dared to provoke the mutated earthworm so much.
After resting for a night, Lin Qian, having recovered his spiritual power, bravely searched the entire swamp again to confirm that there were indeed no mutated earthworms in the swamp.
With a sweep of his spiritual sense, Lin Qian was able to detect everything within a few hundred meters of the swamp. That night, the two tigers dug out many stragglers in the swamp, and even unearthed a pile of mutated earthworm larvae.
The huge, twisted mass of creatures nearly made the two tigers vomit on the spot.
Courage was so disgusted that it stopped landing and stayed in the air, clearly disgusted by the swamp.
Lin Qian's endurance wasn't much better than Courage's, so he immediately cried out, asking Courage to ride the wind and carry him away.
If this swamp hadn't been located directly above a spiritual vein, Lin Qian would probably have run away long ago. He wouldn't have cared about the mutated earthworm, and he certainly wouldn't have witnessed such a disgusting scene.
It is clear that sometimes disgust can be a powerful weapon.
With the threat of the mutated earthworm resolved, Lin Qian immediately had the group of flying squirrels work for him—free labor, you know.
The small flying squirrels were no match for the pressure from the two tigers. Although they were puzzled, digging the burrow was tiring but not dangerous, so the small flying squirrels obediently followed orders and dared not slack off in the slightest.
Once the burrow was dug deep enough, the little flying squirrel discovered the benefits of the cool, shady underground environment and became even less willing to go up during the day, eventually working overtime on its own.
This left Lin Qian completely bewildered.
During the digging process, Lin Qian also discovered another amazing thing: the little flying squirrel's food.
These creatures can eat both meat and plants, but since there aren't many other animals around, the little flying squirrels used to eat either mutated earthworms or dried plants.
Yes, these creatures have evolved the ability to digest dry grass and dead wood in order to adapt to their environment. The entire group is like this, no wonder they didn't starve to death in the swamp. They are simply the chosen ones.

The excavation of Lin Qian's second spiritual vein is on track, and Tiger Dad's high-level spiritual vein has finally been excavated to its end.
The chipmunk put away the spirit crystals, its face numb. It was no longer interested in spirit crystals and spirit stones; there were simply too many of them.
Now, thanks to its persistent expansion, the chipmunk's space has reached 700 cubic meters, containing countless spirit crystals and spirit stones. It has also filled nearly a hundred spirit liquid flower bags, all of which were condensed by absorbing the spiritual energy of the spiritual veins during this period.
It's worth mentioning that Tiger Dad, Tiger Mom, Stepmother, and the Golden Couple have all reached level 8, while Chipmunk, Lonely White, and Panda Mom are already at level 7 and will soon break through to level 8.
The lowest level spirit beast in the team is now level 4, and the little panda has broken through level 5 and will soon enter level 6.
Even the laziest member, Rice Ball, broke through to level 4 after leaving the secret realm, barely managing not to drag down the team's average.
Lin Qian and Yong Qi have now broken through to level 7. If it weren't for the lack of spirit stones and spirit crystals, they would have already broken through to level 8.
Fortunately, Lin Qian has the ability to gather spirits; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to maintain this level of advancement.
You should know that Tiger Dad and Tiger Mom have been relying on this spirit mine, and for the past month they have had plenty of spirit stones and spirit crystals to use every day. Lin Qian and Yong Qi, on the other hand, have only had spirit stones and spirit crystals to cultivate for ten days during this period. Apart from that, Lin Qian's Spirit Gathering Energy can gather several times more concentrated spiritual energy for cultivation.
