Tiger Mom stared intently at the increasingly thickening vortex of white mist.
The temptation surging through its blood was urging it to run, but it knew it couldn't!
The more alluring the mist is, the stronger the sense of crisis it evokes in the wild!
As a mother, her first priority is to protect her young! No matter how great the benefit, she must not leave them for even a moment!
The intense premonition of a life-or-death crisis and the deadly temptation constantly clashed, and this struggle-like tug-of-war forcefully stirred up the Tiger Mom's deeply buried memories.
It remembered the dead cubs, and the heart-wrenching sorrow.
It didn't want to experience that helplessness, that pain again; it absolutely couldn't lose it again!
The mother tiger glared fiercely, tightly shielding her two cubs beneath her, her powerful forelimbs pressing down on their restless bodies as they tried to pounce. Sharp claws were already extended, gripping the ground firmly.
As she struggled against the temptation with all her might, Tiger Mom gradually felt short of breath, and her chest began to rise and fall.
The surrounding air seemed to be getting thinner and thinner, making it hard for it to breathe!
"Roar!!!" The tigress roared with an indomitable spirit, her head raised to the sky, her roar shaking the forest.
"Roar!!!" A ferocious tiger roar came from afar. The father tiger pounced on a leopard that did not dodge and charged straight towards the mother and her two cubs.
The tigress followed closely behind, but couldn't help looking back frequently at the white mist swirling above the river.
The temptation there was too strong, far more delicious than the venison it had eaten today! But its intuition told it that it was also dangerous over there!
If its spouse and sister also go, it might be able to muster the courage to try and gain some advantage.
But right now, it would never be foolish enough to go alone! It's a tiger that knows very well how to save its life!
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to cross mountains and valleys and find this suitable forest to live in safely.
As soon as the huge tiger came into view, it quickly lay down and clung tightly to its mother.
The tigress also cautiously and quickly crouched down on the other side of her father. When faced with danger, not only humans huddle together for warmth and support, but wild animals do too!
The moment he sensed the danger, the tiger father thought of the tiger mother and cubs, so he turned around without hesitation and rushed towards them.
Lin Qian and Yong Qi both let out a low growl of excitement when they saw Tiger Dad. Lin Qian was excited because his side's strength had increased.
Courage, on the other hand, was excited and wanted Tiger Dad to take it to the whirlpool.
Tiger Dad would naturally not grant the request for courage.
Its intuition is always accurate; the warning of danger never faded from the moment it appeared, and instead intensified!
In the Tiger Dad's survival mindset, this was a sign of a major crisis!
Having avoided danger several times due to such omens, it naturally wouldn't underestimate the alluring white mist. If it weren't for the fear of its cubs getting out of control, the father tiger would have already taken his family away!
The arrival of the tiger father and tigress brought a slight sense of relief to the tiger mother. With two adult tigers by her side, the cubs' safety was more assured.
When Courage saw that Tiger Dad was ignoring him, he angrily howled.
The furious little tiger cub felt extremely wronged.
This grove along the riverbank isn't just home to one tiger; many other wild animals lurk among the trees and bushes.
Closest to the tiger family were a mother black bear and her cub. The mother bear was biting the back of the cub's neck tightly, and she was growling in a low voice as she looked at the white mist. The timid cub was so timid that it didn't even notice the tigers beside it.
Many wary and cautious wild animals do not easily risk their lives. They cannot resist the desires in their blood, but their accumulated experience in survival makes them more concerned about their own lives.
The eddies on the riverbank have visibly begun to solidify.
Seeing that the herd was becoming increasingly out of control, the Deer King glanced at the reindeer in the white mist with a heavy heart, raised his head and roared, then led the remaining reindeer away from the riverbank.
It doesn't know if this migration will continue, but if it doesn't leave soon, its tribe will suffer heavy losses!
"Yo yo—"
The sudden cries of the deer carried the sorrow of parting, and their thunderous galloping sound was no longer as magnificent as it had been during the day, but rather somewhat desolate.
Looking at the leading deer king, Lin Qian couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This was a beast king worthy of respect.
It seems that the Deer King also has its own opportunities and adventures, but Lin Qian has no interest in it.
Whether as a human or a tiger, he was willing to show the Deer King a degree of respect at this moment.
Just as the deer's tail disappeared into the woods, the vortex of white mist suddenly began to churn rapidly.
The animals, enveloped in white mist, moved their limbs restlessly, their innocent and bewildered eyes darting around.
The wild animals in the forest tensed up, watching the white mist with extreme vigilance.
Lin Qian's heart jumped instantly. He knew that the purpose of the white mist was about to be revealed!
As the solidification speed increased, the white mist no longer resembled fog, but rather a piece of white silk cloth. It spun rapidly until it completely covered the creatures within it!
"Whoosh—!" A sharp whistling sound rang out, and the white silk cloth burst open!
A loud crash, like a thunderclap or an explosion, echoed along the riverbank.
Lin Qian's tiger-like eyes widened in shock as he stared at the riverbank in fear.
The countless ferocious beasts on the riverbank seemed to collectively fall silent, their bodies tense, staring at the riverbank in utter terror, before a chorus of terrified roars erupted.
All the beasts fled!
The tiger mother and father were equally terrified. At the same time, the two tigers grabbed the cub and fled desperately into the depths of the forest with the herd.
Like all wild animals, the tigress roared wildly as she fled for her life, as if that would lessen her fear.
That way you can forget the horrible scene you witnessed!
The three big cats ran all the way back to the pond before their emotions gradually calmed down.
Lin Qian looked at the frightened tiger family and felt a sense of relief.
Fortunately, as tigers, they were used to living cautiously and did not rashly enter the white fog.
Looking at her familiar habitat, the mother tiger came to her senses and lowered her head to lick her cubs with lingering fear. Her gentle comforting of the cubs was also a way of calming her own frightened heart.
The bloody and terrifying scene terrified even this bloodthirsty beast.
Of course, the tiger mom and tiger dad weren't scared by how bloody the scene was, but by the sudden, completely unknown danger of death.
Whether human or beast, the unknown is the most terrifying thing.
Recalling what happened on the riverbank, Lin Qian wasn't particularly scared, just a little apprehensive.
The moment the white mist burst open, all living beings vanished, instantly turning into blood mist without even having time to utter a wail.
Fresh blood was spilled on the riverbank, staining the clear water red and covering the fishy-smelling stones with the scent of blood. The scalding blood irrigated the gradually withering grass and trees, dressing them in a bright red coat.
Broken flesh and blood, and hot, bright red animal blood, covered the riverbank, a sea of crimson.
