Tiger Mom showed a hint of relief followed by disappointment and worry.
Its injuries are too severe; if it doesn't recover quickly, it will only become a burden to its cubs...
Unaware of his mother's worries, the little tiger was quickly devouring frozen roe deer meat.
The experiences of the past few days have allowed this carefree little tiger to grow up quickly. It no longer savors the taste of its food as before; instead, it swallows the food the moment it enters its mouth, greatly shortening its eating time.
"Awoo~" Mom, I'll catch some delicious prey! Courage finished eating and said earnestly to Tiger Mom.
Now that the number of novice spirit beasts has greatly increased, the little guy has also realized that the spiritual energy contained in spirit beast meat can effectively help Tiger Mom heal her injuries.
The little tiger has been running hard through the forest every day for the past few days, searching for the mythical beast.
But courage was really unlucky; it seemed as if the animals in the forest had made a pact to find one alive, which was extremely difficult.
These past few days, let alone mythical beasts, it's been difficult to see even ordinary animals.
Fortunately, there were many ordinary animals that had frozen to death in the snow, so it and its mother tiger didn't go hungry.
It was after discovering the abnormality in the forest that Tiger Mom immediately decided to leave the cave where she was recuperating and bravely leave the area.
The tiger mother, with her rich survival experience, knew that not seeing a single living animal in a forest was a very dangerous sign!
Although she didn't know what had happened, Tiger Mom didn't hesitate at all. After listening to Courage's complaints, she got up and left.
Courage was worried about his mother's health and didn't want to leave, but his mother was determined and there was nothing the little tiger could do.
Seeing the tiger mom struggling to walk in the snow with only one front paw, Courage felt sad and guilty.
If it weren't so weak and unable to help Mom fight off those enemies, Mom wouldn't have suffered such serious injuries.
On this day, the little tiger planted a seed of wanting to become stronger.
The relentless snowstorm suddenly stopped, and sunlight shone through the thick clouds.
The mother and son looked up at the long-lost golden light, a hint of nostalgia in their eyes.
Suddenly, a very faint sound of ice breaking rang out nearby. Tiger Mom turned her head sharply, her tiger eyes blazing with fierce light.
The forest was silent and still; there was not a single animal in sight on the snow.
But the tiger mother did not let her guard down. Although the voice was faint, she was convinced that she could not have misheard.
Seeing his mother's wary demeanor, Yongqi immediately held his breath and began to observe as well.
Although it didn't sense any danger, and its wild instincts didn't warn of any impending peril, it trusted its mother's judgment.
"Roar!" Tiger Mom roared, her power as the Emperor Engine remained undiminished despite her severe injuries.
The mother and child stood quietly in the snow, watching their surroundings intently, not letting the slightest movement escape their eyes.
Not far away, behind a snowdrift with deep snow.
The snow-white cub was so frightened by the tiger's roar that it dared not move. The tigress, in particular, was staring intently in its direction, and the cub dared not make a move for fear that if the tiger saw even a single hair, its life would be in danger.
This snow-white little animal is the white weasel, also known as the "snow sweeper".
The white weasel resembles the yellow weasel in shape, with a slender body, short limbs, and its fur color varies with the seasons.
During the hot spring and summer, the main body color of the stoat is grayish-brown, the tail is grayish-white, and the limbs and belly are white. The grayish-brown body color allows it to hide well in the grass and not be discovered.
When winter comes and the snow covers the land, the ferret's fur gradually turns snow-white, except for its tail, which remains black.
Weasels are carnivorous animals, mostly living alone. They are agile, with extremely keen eyesight and hearing, giving them a strong hunting ability.
Although the white fur of this weasel is unrelated to any spiritual mutation, it doesn't mean it's an ordinary little cutie.
In today's forests, those who dare to venture out alone are either unlucky enough to lack companions or possess the ability to protect themselves. Judging from the ferret's agile body, this ferret clearly belongs to the latter category.
The silence continued in the forest, and the tiger mother remained vigilant, her patience plentiful.
Now that its strength has been greatly reduced, it has to be more careful.
But the weasel obviously couldn't wait any longer, mainly because the pressure from the tiger was too great.
As a cautious carnivore, even with some increased intelligence, it still harbors a deep-seated fear of behemoths like tigers.
