The new landscape paved with blood is not limited to the forest.
In countless bustling cities, people who lost power and lighting on this night were unknowingly enveloped in white fog.
Until a sudden explosion rang out, and warm blood began to splatter across the street...
The first scream shattered the tranquility of the night.
In the fleeting flash of green lightning, people screamed in panic and wailed in terror.
The chipmunk trembled as it clutched the nut, gazing enviously at the tiger family below the tree.
When the celestial phenomena changed, the little guy was sleeping soundly in the cave, but the rumbling thunder really frightened him.
When a sense of crisis struck, the chipmunk suddenly thought of the tiger family. Its little head even imagined that the cub that always bared its teeth at it had come to its door.
When it cautiously peered out, it found no tiger in sight.
Seeing the warm and loving family of tigers under the tree, the chipmunk suddenly had the idea of finding a mate.
It never wanted to see a mouse trembling in fear again!
Lin Qian gazed thoughtfully at the gradually returning night sky.
The moon, once again radiating its silvery glow, reappeared in the sky, with sparse stars dotting the surroundings as always.
If it weren't for the image of blood everywhere still being so vividly etched in his mind, Lin Qian would have doubted whether he was dreaming.
The oppressive dark clouds completely dissipated, and Tiger Dad raised his head and let out a long howl towards the moonlit sky.
It seemed like a venting of emotions, yet also like a celebration.
The mother tiger and the tigress roared in unison, expressing their joy at surviving the ordeal.
Courage, having been suppressed by his parents all night, immediately perked up and, as soon as he was free, raised his head and roared at the distance, just like the big cats.
"Awooo—"
Lin Qian chuckled and patted its little head. This silly guy could make any tense atmosphere feel relaxed in front of it.
"Awoo~" Courage wagged its little tail happily, inviting its brother to roar with it in the mountains.
Lin Qian didn't refuse; to be honest, he was also itching to try it!
"Awooo—!!!"
Two tiger cubs stood on a rock, raising their heads high and roaring. The tender stripes on their foreheads appeared even deeper in the moonlight.
Having shown off their power, the two little tigers were beaming with pride, as if they had accomplished something great.
The tiger mom affectionately lowered her head and nuzzled her cubs, her usually cold gaze filled with tenderness and love.
The tigress watched the affectionate interaction between herself and her three cubs, her bright eyes filled with a hint of dreaminess and anticipation.
It seemed to see its own life after having puppies!
Wow! I can't wait!
The tigress let out a soft growl of excitement, turned her head and rubbed against her father's back vigorously, then stuck out her tongue to carefully groom his fur.
Tiger Dad comfortably twitched his ears, the white spots on the back of his ears dancing lively, and his tiger face looked very content.
Lin Qian acted like a well-behaved little tiger for a while, and then he started to become restless.
The little tiger snuggled into the arms of the mighty male tiger, rubbing its head against its father's chin, growling softly and urging him to take it out to play.
He wanted to go to the riverbank to take a look; the eerie fog was too mysterious. Now that the weather had returned to normal, perhaps the remaining flesh and blood on the riverbank would undergo some change...
Lin Qian's plan was good, but Tiger Dad was unmoved by the cub's request.
It has experienced too much today, and even though things have calmed down, it has no desire to go out again.
Lin Qian tried again for a while, then expressed her disappointment to the unmoved Tiger Dad!
Dad, you'll lose your precious son sooner or later if you keep going like this!
The little tiger proudly flicked its tail, its whiskers twitching, and strode back into its mother's arms.
The tiger mom naturally knew her cubs better than the tiger dad. As soon as Lin Qian let out two low growls, the tiger mom knew what he was up to.
The tigress let out a fierce growl as a warning, then pressed the cub down with her large paw.
That's settled, forget about sneaking away.
Courage watched as her brother was scolded and suppressed by their mother. Instead of helping him, she gloated and ran around in front of Lin Qian, showing off her "freedom".
Lin Qian: Another day I want to hit my younger brother!
The courage to get beaten up every day without realizing it: My brother can't play with me today...
Meanwhile, quite a few animals had already visited the riverbank that Lin Qian was thinking about.
The crows had already covered the riverbank, pecking excitedly at the ground and eating voraciously.
Although it was just freshly fallen flesh and blood residue, it already faintly emitted a putrid smell.
But this did not affect the crows' appetite at all. So what if it started to spoil? Rotten food was even more to their liking.
The riverbank smelled strongly of blood, which naturally attracted wild animals with their keen sense of smell.
A dozen or so small wild animals were looking down, carefully and quickly searching for scraps of flesh and blood.
They are not among the predators and are not qualified to participate in the deer herd's feast, so naturally they cannot get close to the riverbank and see the scene of white mist ravaging the area.
But they kept an eye on the riverbank, hoping to find some scraps to eat from the mouths of the top predators.
When the moon was obscured and celestial phenomena were unusual, these animals all hid themselves.
They lacked the strength to investigate further, and dared not risk their lives by venturing out in anticipation of danger. Forced to eke out a living under the claws of predators, they possessed unparalleled survival skills.
No amount of temptation can entice them to leave their safe nests and take risks.
When the forest returned to tranquility, these small animals breathed a sigh of relief and completely forgot about the "life-or-death crisis".
After all, they have faced life-or-death crises far too often in their lives, and their wild premonitions are commonplace.
If they dare not resume normal behavior because of a crisis, they will not die at the hands of predators, but starve to death in their burrows.
More and more animals are appearing on the riverbank, and three clever yellow-throated martens are hiding in the blood-stained grass.
They nimbly searched for scraps of flesh in the grass at the edge, their long snouts sniffing the bloody scent surrounding them, feeling both pleasure and fear.
Even simple-minded wild animals have their own ways of surviving.
These three adult yellow-throated martens were also present. They did not hold a high position in the forest and had always fed only on rodents.
Of course, they are also present when scavenging leftovers.
But like today, with the ground littered with blood and gore, there were no predators nearby.
Something's not right, something's really not right!
Even if they sensed something was wrong, the allure of the food was too strong for the beasts to resist.
P.S.: The protagonist's portrayal might seem a bit "childish," but it's not that he's stupid. Rather, it's that the protagonist fully accepts that he is a tiger, and accepts his parents and siblings who are tigers.
These descriptions are all meant to convey warmth, after all, the author wanted to depict a loving and adorable tiger family.
