The leader of the Green Ox followed the deer couple to meet the tiger family. Lin Qian and Yong Qi still had some respect for the deer couple, after all, they had cooperated before and got along well. The main thing was that the deer were very sensible and did not do anything to make them uncomfortable, so they did not lose points in the impression, and their relationship was naturally not bad.
Seeing the increasingly powerful tigers, the deer couple were both shocked and secretly harbored the idea of seeking refuge with them once again.
This time was different from the past. Although the deer couple had thought about seeking refuge with the tiger family before, the natural antagonism between carnivores and herbivores made them hesitate, and all their previous ideas always came to nothing. Their relationship with Lin Qian and the others was also lukewarm.
But this time, entering the Nine Gates has given them a tremendous sense of crisis.
Because of their consistently cautious approach, this operation proceeded without incident, but it also made them acutely aware of their own weakness. The world is changing rapidly and can change unexpectedly. Relying solely on them, it would be difficult to protect their species in the face of the upcoming changes.
The deer couple directly expressed their desire to join the Spirit Beast Mountain. Faced with their expectant deer eyes, Lin Qian did not refuse. "Awooo." I'll have Jin Diao go back with you, and he'll bring you here later.
"Young one!" Yes, Tiger King!
Two deer cried out in unison, their joy tinged with relief and relief; thankfully, they had encountered the tiger family again.
On their way here, the deer couple invited the Green Ox leader to join the Tigers, but the Green Ox leader hesitated and couldn't make up his mind. Lin Qian casually invited the Green Ox leader, but the Green Ox leader didn't agree, saying he needed to think about it.
Lin Qian wasn't annoyed by this. It had only casually invited the deer couple because of them, and whether the Green Ox tribe joined or not made no difference to it.
"Awooo." Chief Green Ox, you can take your time to consider. Our Spirit Beast Mountain welcomes all excellent and powerful spirit beasts.
"Moo." Thank you, Tiger King.
The Green Ox leader showed respect and awe to the strong, and was pleased with Lin Qian's words, as they indicated that its strength had been recognized.
After completing the integration at Spirit Beast Mountain, they set off for their return. The harvest this time was meager, consisting mostly of crystal cores, so everyone was rather unenthusiastic and eager to go home.
Kim Shichi and Kim Shiliu left with Ma Lu.

The first herd of reindeer to leave has now moved far from the coast and returned to a dense forest.
"Tap tap..."
The thunderous sound of hooves, like a drumbeat, echoed across the sky. The birds that had been fluttering in the forest immediately folded their wings and hid in the high branches, shutting their chattering mouths and daring not to utter a single sound.
A moment later, a joyful cry of deer came from ahead, and the charging deer herd immediately slowed down. Their orderly steps softened at the same moment, their murderous aura dissipated instantly, and even their eyes became much gentler.
"Cry, cry..." A deer's cry pierced through the woods, followed by a beautiful doe.
This is a sika deer, but strangely, it is not as small as other sika deer. Its body is larger than that of an evolved ordinary sika deer, and its shimmering antlers show that it is a spirit beast deer.
The sika deer skipped excitedly towards the herd, stopped in front of the reindeer leader, let out a soft call, and rubbed against it.
The reindeer leader's strong physique made it appear small again, and it lowered its head, responding by nuzzling against the sika deer in affection.
Then a small group of female deer came running over, heading straight for their mates, and for a moment their calls filled the air.
Most of these female deer are aquatic deer, and they are not all reindeer; some are red deer or other deer species. However, strangely, the pairing of these female and male deer is not always based on the same species.
There are no demonized or mutated female deer. Of course, the demonized and mutated male deer have no interest in female deer. Their minds are only on eating and fighting. Even deer that have regained some of their instincts have no interest in reproduction.
Yes, even a strong reindeer herd has weaker females, because the reindeer leader is not just trying to preserve his former kin, but the entire herd called "reindeer".
——————————
Back to Spirit Beast Mountain.
Everyone instantly relaxed. Compared to the other world devoid of spiritual energy, the Spirit Beast Mountain, with its top-tier spiritual veins and concentrated spiritual energy, made the spirit beasts feel as if they had been reborn.
When the stepmother saw the tiger family return, she gave them a resentful look. "It's so boring being a tiger all by itself!"
Everything on Spirit Beast Mountain soon returned to normal, with the spirit beasts living a carefree and harmonious life while maintaining a certain regularity.
——————————
Time flies.
As dawn breaks, the earth is draped in a blanket of white, a pristine silver landscape shimmering under the soft orange glow of the rising sun.
The flat snow-covered forest was formed overnight, and the creatures were still sleeping soundly. The silvery snow remained untouched, smooth and gentle, extending and covering the forest.
The distant mountains and rivers are also covered in white, the frozen river water is no longer noisy, and the transparent white ice surface reflects the sky.
The snow and ice that fell overnight reveled from darkness to dawn. The soft snowflakes solidified into ice, and then froze into ice crystals. The morning mist that just began to rise was mixed with the chill that had settled overnight, turning into wisps of cool white fog.
Winter has come again.
After the second Nine Gates appeared, the Nine Gates seemed to disappear without a trace, and there were no further fluctuations. The jade tablet gave no warning, and the heavens and earth were silent. Half a year later, all forces chose to temporarily put the matter aside.
After all, no one knows where the spatial passage is, and none of the living beings today are powerful enough to touch such a space. There is no other way but to wait.
