After the two broken jade pieces of the red deer were put together, they were split into two pieces and returned to the two red deer respectively.
Lin Qian could tell that the jade pendant was intact, but thinner, half the thickness of his, so it really was split in two.
However, thinking about the two deer's special abilities, he understood that they were naturally complementary and that the two deer had a promising future!
The saying that the two deer complement each other does not mean that their superpowers are one offensive and one defensive, but rather that their superpower attributes are "dark" and "light".
Both of these are rare attributes and have offensive and defensive capabilities. However, the female deer's "Light" attribute currently emphasizes healing, and it doesn't seem to have awakened its offensive capabilities yet.
Male deer, on the other hand, do not have any awakened offensive skills in terms of defense.
However, they are only level two spirit beasts now, which means they have just crossed into the spirit beast level. As their level increases in the future, the gap between them and other spirit beasts will become more and more obvious.
Take Lin Qian for example. His special ability is mental, and his mental power, which is several times greater than that of other spirit beasts, is his greatest advantage. However, this advantage cannot be highlighted in the early stages, and he appears weak and useless due to his lack of offensive capabilities.
The chipmunk's spatial attributes are similar; the little guy has almost no ability to protect himself, and encountering Lin Qianyi and the tiger was actually its good fortune.
The initial difficulties are a weakness of rare superpower attributes, but as long as you successfully overcome them, you will grow rapidly in the mid-to-late stages and easily surpass others.
After watching the deer finish their actions, Yongqi blinked his tiger eyes and ran towards Lin Qian, howling to signal his brother to take out the jade tablet so they could try a fusion game.
Lin Qian thought for a moment, tried it, but there was no response. This thing stayed firmly in his sea of consciousness and didn't move!
Courage tried it too, but no matter how much it urged its spiritual sense to touch the jade tablet in its sea of consciousness, it was useless and there was no reaction. The little tiger was instantly disappointed.
"Aww..." Why can they... Lin Qian patted his younger brother's head without saying anything; he probably knew the reason.
His jade pendant was intact, requiring no merging at all; it was a natural and courageous reaction from the half-piece jade pendant.
Lin Qian's mind raced as he watched the little guy ponder. Since it could be fused, it meant that the jade tablet of courage was still half full. It seemed that he needed to collect the right half!
Although he had some speculations, Lin Qian was still puzzled by the fact that he had a complete jade pendant while Yongqi and the deer only had half a pendant.
But since the jade pendant was a valuable item, he stopped worrying about it.
…………
"Squeak squeak..." The chipmunk patted its little chest with lingering fear, turned back to look at the willow tree in the distance, its dark eyes filled with terror.
It followed its intuition, only to find that instead of a peaceful place of harvest, it was a place where it almost got buried!
The three-meter-tall willow tree gleamed with a greenish light, each leaf seemingly crafted from jade, and the entire tree exuded a tranquil and peaceful aura.
However, this was merely an illusion; the countless white bones beneath the willow tree seemed to be silently howling, eerie and still.
After the chipmunk left, an old woman came to the scene. She was hunched over, and her clothes were covered in blood, clearly indicating that she had escaped death.
If Amo and his companions were here, they would surely recognize them as the villagers who had come up the mountain with them, the elders from their village whom they knew.
"It's a willow tree..." The old woman paused for a moment, looking at the lush green branches, before continuing to walk slowly.
Her cloudy eyes had lost their luster, the anticipation and brilliance she had when she went up the mountain were gone.
In a struggle where beasts surround us, humans have no advantage whatsoever.
Besides, they are elderly people like them. Even if they don't participate in the competition, they will be targeted by the beasts around them and could easily become their prey. It is incredibly lucky that she was able to survive in the next area.
The old woman walked slowly but firmly towards the willow tree, the bones on the road cracking under her feet, but she seemed not to hear them.
She stared blankly at the willow tree, seemingly oblivious to her surroundings; in other words, she had lost all will to live.
The old woman walked in step by step, and when she held the jade-green willow branch in her hand, a glimmer of light appeared in her cloudy and dim eyes—a light that evoked warm and beautiful memories of the past.
"You're here... I'll be right there. You always said my name has 'willow' in it, that I live as resiliently as a willow branch, and now, it's quite fitting... It's just a pity we can't go pick up our daughter..."
Her wrists were bound by willow branches, and her waist was also tied by the surrounding willow branches, but the old woman didn't care at all.
The willow branches were no longer in her sight; her cloudy, aged eyes stared blankly ahead, a faint smile slowly appearing, as if someone was beckoning to her.
The lush green willow branches swayed gently, and in the blink of an eye, they wrapped the old woman up like a silkworm cocoon. Then, the thick trunk cracked open, and as the willow branches swayed, the cocoon disappeared, and the willow tree returned to its tranquil state.
On the other side, the tiger mother was tearing into a spirit beast and swallowing it whole. There were several shallow bloodstains on its back, and its fur was disheveled, clearly indicating that it had been through a chaotic battle.
If you look closely, you can see that the wound on Tiger Mom's back is slowly healing and scabbing over, and it is estimated that it will be completely healed in a little while.
Tiger Mom's injuries were caused by stealing spirit fruits from this area ten minutes ago. With Tiger Mom's strength, almost no spirit beast can hurt her at present. It's just that she was unlucky this time and stole too many spirit beasts.
Tiger Mom could only rely on her strength to fight back. Although she succeeded, she was still injured. Fortunately, the injury was not serious. After eating a few spiritual fruits, it was all worth it.
