The two towels in the mountain wind's backpack weren't special designs; they were just ordinary, patternless ones, but they were pink and bright red...
Although I wanted to complain a bit when I first received it, I could accept it when I thought about those more amazing designs. Actually, I'm not picky about these things; as long as it's usable, that's good enough. It's just that when I see them, I can't help but have the urge to complain.
Lin Qian was also speechless when he saw the chipmunk's colorful towels. He really couldn't understand why a chipmunk would like to collect things, let alone have such a unique collecting preference.
However, Lin Qian only thought about it; he generally wouldn't interfere with the chipmunks' behavior.
The chipmunk probably won't use those patterned towels; after all, the little guy loves them and probably keeps them as collectibles.
Well, hopefully that's for the best.
As Lin Qian finished digging a hole to place the tree, he saw a skinny boy squatting by the stream washing clothes. There was definitely no laundry soap; chipmunks don't have a strong affinity for fragrances, and the tigers had no need for it and naturally wouldn't collect it.
When Shanfeng was "kidnapped" by the tiger, he was empty-handed. He went to the supermarket but didn't take much. He only picked up some food and daily necessities on the way when he put on his backpack.
But the quantities were small. Aside from the towel and pants the chipmunk gave him, he grabbed some usable items and then mostly food.
The tigers moved very quickly during the retreat, and he didn't have time to choose anything. He could only grab a little as he passed by. The only soap he had was picked up from the ground, probably when the shelf collapsed. After all, the shower gel area was far from the exit and not on the way.
Although the soap was for bathing, Shanfeng didn't care about that at the moment and used it directly on his clothes. He didn't dare to use too much, and he rubbed the clothes in the water several times before applying a little bit. After all, this was his only bar of soap. If his clothes hadn't been so dirty and he only had this one set, he really wouldn't have been willing to use the soap to wash them.
Although they were some distance away, Lin Qian witnessed the entire process. Only then did Lin Qian realize that the supplies they possessed were not suitable for humans, and he wondered if the child could adapt to a savage-like life...
Thinking of this, Lin Qian hesitated and felt helpless. He really hadn't thought about these things before, let alone that he would raise a twelve or thirteen-year-old human child.
However, since he was already there, Lin Qian thought about it for a moment and stopped worrying. If he could endure the hardships of the journey for fifteen days, he should be able to accept the days to come.
As Lin Qian had expected, Shan Feng didn't really care about these things. Although he realized how poor his living supplies were and that living with wild animals would turn him into a "wild man," the boy's heart remained unshaken.
He was no longer a delicate hothouse flower. As long as he could live well, what did it matter if he was a savage? In such an environment, it wouldn't be surprising if he lived like a wild beast.

Tiger Dad dug a hole near the sunlight by the lake and replanted the mutated vine. The thing was very obedient; it didn't make a fuss when left alone and quietly curled up into a ball.
Although this thing doesn't have intelligence yet, it's still very clever. When the ant swarm came, it immediately sensed the danger and dug itself out without hesitation. Its ability to escape is unparalleled.
Tiger Dad planted the mutated vine and thoughtfully watered it. With the water bucket he brought back from the supermarket, getting water was much easier.
Replanted in the soil, the mutated vine suddenly began to throb wildly, its long branches rapidly climbing up the nearby tree until they reached the top of the canopy and absorbed the energy of the sunlight.
The flower buds at the base of the vines also stood upright again, recovering from their tightly closed state to a slightly blooming appearance.
Seeing the mutated vine's actions, Tiger Dad's eyes lit up. After witnessing the mutated vine's clever performance, Tiger Dad's expectations for this "subordinate" were no longer just about eating fruit.
The tiger's big head was already planning to take the mutated vines out on patrol. Yes, the tiger king's thought process was just that unique.

Under the blazing sun, all the animals hid themselves, but a group of uninvited guests, undeterred by the intense sunlight, continued to move forward at a steady pace.
A crimson wave swept across, turning lush green forests into desolation, and stark white bones replaced vibrant life.
This is the mutated ant colony, which seems tireless in its advance and feeding.
If Lin Qian and the others saw this, they would be very surprised.
Because this group of ants was twice as fast as they were in the basin!
The dark red ants that once formed the edges of the ant colony have all disappeared, and now the colony is entirely red, its color so vibrant that it seems to flow like blood under the sunlight.
The ground, which was originally covered in green, was left with only bare soil after the ants passed by. The thicker and more lush the plants, the cleaner they were. Some big trees were even devoured, leaving only the barkless trunks.
Upon closer inspection, one can see that ants consume plants much faster and in greater quantities than animals, as if eating animals is merely a side effect, while their main purpose is to devour those plants that grow in the sun.
…………
Busy times always pass quickly, and by sunset, the tigers' habitat was finally planned out.
