Lin Qian raised his head, which was holding a bird's wing and tearing at its feathers. His questioning tiger eyes had just caught sight of the chipmunk when an owl suddenly swooped down from the sky.
That's a level one spirit bird; it's going to catch a chipmunk!
The chipmunk sensed danger and hurriedly prepared to escape, as it was experienced in how to avoid owl attacks.
However, owls mainly feed on small animals like chipmunks, and are very familiar with chipmunks' evasive maneuvers, predicting their movements with remarkable speed and precision.
The owl's appearance and attack, and the chipmunk's dodge, all happened in an instant. Just when it seemed the chipmunk was about to be caught off guard, a tiger's claw moved at the last second.
"call out!"
"puff!!"
"Squeak!!!"
The sound of the icicles being fired and the owl being hit rang out almost simultaneously.
Then came the chipmunk's panicked and terrified cries for help.
It sent a distress signal to Lin Qian in a life-or-death moment.
Yes, this chipmunk is actually asking a tiger for help; it's absolutely outrageous.
The owl's massive wings swooped down on its head, startling the chipmunk so much that it darted away again.
Lin Qian blinked, looking at the trembling little squirrel that had run under her, and fell silent.
Was he too friendly to the little guy, causing it to have a misconception, or was the little guy so stupid that it didn't know what a ferocious beast was?
A squirrel actually asked this feline for help?!
Tom and Jerry wouldn't dare to act like that!
After letting go of his inner complaints, Lin Qian was still pleasantly surprised to see the chipmunk. The mark he had left on the chipmunk had long since disappeared, and he thought he had lost his "suitcase" forever. Unexpectedly, he found it here.
Moreover, this little guy has actually broken through to level two!
The stepmother ignored the chipmunk and went straight for the tiger cub. Regardless of whether it was a mythical beast or not, as a tiger, it had a very good memory. That little thing was the cub's toy, and the cub liked it very much.
It picked up the owl that was delivering takeout.
The stepmother very fairly handed the big bird to Courage.
Hehe? The little one loves eating wings the most?
Oh dear, the feathers on the wings are hard to pluck; I'll have to think of a way to do this...
The tigress watched as her two cubs ate bird meat, secretly making notes in her mind.
Well, let it try out how to take care of the puppies first, so it won't make mistakes later and will definitely be able to raise the puppies well!
Yes, yes, she's just a protective tigress! She has no other motive! Absolutely none!
Courage nuzzled his stepmother in thanks, then happily began to tear at the bird's wing. There was no reason not to eat the meat that was already in his mouth, and Courage immediately forgot about finding his "arch-enemy," the chipmunk.
The chipmunk had recovered by then. Although it had become a spirit beast, it still had an innate fear of birds of prey like owls that preyed on small animals such as squirrels.
It used to try every possible way to avoid these guys, afraid that it might lose its life if it wasn't careful.
Seeing their once invincible (and now invincible) natural enemy become the tiger's snack, the chipmunk was immediately excited.
"Squeak!" As expected, the Tiger King is still the most reliable!
Lin Qian was a little confused by the inexplicably excited little squirrel. He stretched out his tiger paw, grabbed the squirrel, and then scanned it with his spiritual sense, marking it again.
Now Lin Qian has even more subtle control over his spiritual senses, and marking is just a matter of a moment, which he does with great ease.
The chipmunk suddenly trembled, touched its little body in confusion, its big eyes filled with bewilderment, something strange... as if there was something there.
Hmm... is it just my imagination?
Once the marking was done, Lin Qian ignored the chipmunk. Since the little guy had come looking for him, it certainly wouldn't run away, after all, chipmunks are quite intelligent.
Marking the area is just in case; it'll help them find their way if something happens, since wild animals don't have cell phones.
The chipmunk swallowed hard as it looked at the leopard skeleton, really wanting to gnaw on it—it would definitely taste better than nuts!
"Squeak...?" King Tiger, can a mouse gnaw on this bone?
Lin Qian was stunned. This little thing wanted to gnaw on a leopard's bone?!
"Aww?" Can you even chew that?
Lin Qian expressed strong doubt, as these were the bones of a spirit beast, which even Tiger Mom and the others had great difficulty gnawing on.
Looking at the chipmunk with longing in its eyes, Lin Qian fell silent.
Chipmunks are squirrels, not mice, right? Do squirrels also grind their teeth?
Lin Qianzhen really doesn't understand this.
Chipmunks belong to the order Rodentia, family Sciuridae, and are close relatives of gray squirrels.
Although chipmunks are not rats, they do grind their teeth, and rodents are the most typical example of animals that grind their teeth.
Rodents must constantly wear down their two pairs of incisors by gnawing, because they have two continuously growing incisors in each of their upper and lower jaws, and if they don't wear them down, they will push through their lower jaws.
Despite his doubts, Lin Qian still grabbed a leopard leg bone.
"Ouch." Let's gnaw on it.
Upon seeing the spirit beast's leg bone before it, the chipmunk's dark eyes lit up instantly.
"Squeak!" With a joyful cry, the little guy excitedly hugged the bone and started gnawing on it.
"Click-click--"
The bones of the mythical beast, as hard as steel, are turned into biscuits by the chipmunk's incisors, crisp and easy to grind!
Lin Qian was surprised. He leaned closer to take a look and saw that the chipmunk's incisors were very white, somewhat like the texture of white jade.
But clearly, these are not false teeth made of white jade, but sharp and hard rat teeth!
A quick scan with his spiritual sense revealed that the chipmunk's incisors were indeed rich in spiritual energy, clearly indicating that they had been refined by spiritual energy.
Lin Qian used his spiritual sense to carefully observe the process of the chipmunk eating the animal bones and found that the bones were gnawed into extremely fine pieces by the chipmunk, and some were even ground into bone powder.
