There were quite a few animal hides and bones left over from making jerky. Knowing that his stepmother loved to tinker with his belongings, Lin Qian idly started fiddling with them.
Shanfeng also contributed a lot; the shapes of the five-pointed stars were drawn by the boy, and then he guided the chipmunk to grind them out.
Although Lin Qian can also draw, he doesn't want to reveal these abilities to Shan Feng yet. Humans are too complex, and Shan Feng is still like a bomb in his eyes, with too many unstable factors.
Fortunately, Shanfeng is just an ordinary person. He doesn't have to worry about being overheard when he communicates with Tiger Dad and the others. It's also perfectly fine for the Golden Eagle Leader and the others to come over for "meetings and exchanges." Otherwise, Lin Qian would probably regret bringing Shanfeng back.
After the stepmother finished tidying up, Shanfeng had already climbed down from the wooden house.
Although he couldn't understand the roars of beasts, after spending time together and seeing the preparations Lin Qian had made, coupled with the changes in the weather, this clever human boy still guessed that they were leaving.
So Shanfeng had already made preparations. His clothes and other belongings were packed into his backpack. Apart from the backpack, Shanfeng had no other burdens. In addition to the fact that he didn't have many items, Lin Qian had also deliberately not arranged any luggage for him.
The mountain wind's mobility in the forest was already a concern for him; if he were to add the incredibly heavy bamboo tubes and animal hides to the mix, wouldn't he be exhausted to death before even leaving the basin?
At this moment, Lin Qian felt a pang of regret that Shan Feng wasn't a superhuman; ordinary people's physical abilities were simply too poor.
For this reason, Lin Qian not only relieved Shan Feng of his hard labor but also instructed the panda mother to look after the boy, and to pick him up and take him away if Shan Feng couldn't keep up.
Riding a bear is impossible; do you think you can just ride a national treasure whenever you want?
As for whether there would be any problems with carrying it in his mouth, Lin Qian thought there would be no problem. The clothes that Shan Feng was wearing were made of animal hides, so their toughness was guaranteed.
Because it's a simple design with few stitches, and everything is very sturdy, you don't have to worry about falling off halfway.
The panda mother had no objections; she was quite satisfied with this human. Hmm, the grooming was really nice!
As for the red panda, the cub is already six months old and more than twice the size it was when we first met. It's no longer a cub that needs to stay with its mother all the time.
The mother panda followed the cub almost every step of the way because the cub was still nursing. In fact, as a first-level spirit beast, the little panda would hardly encounter any danger in the forest.
Moreover, this time everyone was moving together, so the red panda could keep up with the speed and had no problem with stamina.
If the red panda really doesn't want to run away on its own, Lin Qian can "reluctantly" help the panda mother carry the cub.
The red panda says: Bears can do it themselves!
…………
Once everything was ready, the Tiger Regiment and the Golden Eagle Group leisurely set off.
There was no way around it; compared to the panic of ordinary animals, these spirit beasts were indeed not panicked at all. Their strength and powerful physique gave them great confidence.
With Lin Qian's thorough preparations, and the fact that their group consisted of both land animals and birds, there was nothing to fear. The situation was completely under control!
Upon reaching the location of the grassland river, Lin Qian saw many animals appearing in groups along the riverbank. Although the river had reached its bottom, the water was still two meters wide and 20 centimeters deep, and the current was still flowing slowly and stubbornly on the stranded riverbed.
Don't be fooled by the seemingly still flow of water. Just two days ago, the water was half a meter deep and three to five meters wide. In just two or three days, it has been scorched halfway down. Who knows if it will be completely gone by tomorrow or the day after?
The sun evaporates water vapor at an alarmingly rapid rate, which is the main reason why animals suddenly began to migrate.
Ordinary animals don't have the same agile brains as mythical beasts, but that doesn't mean they lack intelligence. Even if their intelligence is lower, they can still distinguish changes in the river water and remember the situation of yesterday and today.
Seeing the various animals gathering by the river to replenish their water before leaving, Tiger Dad and the others also stopped.
It's not that I want to hunt; I ate a full meal before going out, so I'm not hungry.
Moreover, during animal migrations, predators rarely attack herbivores. To survive along the way, they must learn to tighten their belts, enduring hunger and exhaustion as long as they don't die.
The beasts only prey on animals that are still migrating when they are extremely hungry. Most of the time, they keep a close eye on herds of herbivores, waiting for one of them to collapse from exhaustion before pouncing on it and taking a few bites of meat.
The natural law of survival of the fittest will be fully demonstrated on the journey.
Just like other animals, Tiger Dad and his companions stopped to rehydrate.
The chipmunk filled a bucket with water, but the stream was almost dry; it would take half an hour for the bucket to fill.
Now that they have suddenly set off, the bamboo tubes they are carrying are all empty. Since there is still a water source to replenish them, they must fill them up first, otherwise it is uncertain when they will encounter another water source on the way.
Even if the water in the bamboo tube is exposed to the sun, it won't cause any problems. At most, the raw water will turn into boiled water. It's fine if it's stored for a little longer, because the plants are strong and can drink it.
Not to mention that spirit beasts have incredibly strong stomachs, even ordinary wild animals don't have high requirements for water quality. They've been drinking all kinds of water sources in the forest, big and small, whether murky or clean, since they were little. They're also used to drinking rainwater.
The only thing the team needs to watch out for is the mountain wind. Tsk, humans are so fragile.
However, with the chipmunk around, the little guy's water storage space takes up a third of the room, which is definitely enough.
