After exchanging a few words with Lin Qian and the other two tigers, the elephant leader led the herd to rest. This great battle had not only greatly depleted Lin Qian's courage, but also the elephant herd.
Little Liudun stood to the side, neither following his father nor speaking. The little elephant just stared intently at the two tigers, his dark eyes full of curiosity.
"Aww." Little elephant, come here, help me turn on the water.
Lin Qian tore through the plastic wrapping of the purified water bottle and patted the bottle scattered on the ground with his claws. Although he could remove the cap directly with the tip of his claws, this was an opportunity to break the silence.
To break the ice, you need to be able to create opportunities yourself.
Although Lin Qian didn't know why the little elephant named Xiao Liu was standing there, he didn't want to be watched any longer.
Courage, which was about to pry open the bottle cap, suddenly stopped. Drinking water from a bottle was not unfamiliar to it, after all, its team had always been very skilled at using water bottles and bamboo tubes collected from the supermarket.
Little Liu blinked its dark elephant eyes, took two slender steps, curled its trunk, and with a "click," the bottle cap was unscrewed.
Despite being a wild elephant herd, they had far more opportunities to come into contact with humans than Lin Qian and other wild animals. They had seen many people drinking bottled water before, so they quickly mastered the trick when digging up bottled water and drinks in the city ruins.
Seeing the water bottle being rolled over by the elephant's trunk, Lin Qian obediently tilted her head back and opened her tiger's mouth.
"Ton ton ton~~~"
A sound of running water quickly rang out, and then the bottle of purified water, emptied, was slammed shut by Xiao Liu's elephant trunk.
This surprised Lin Qian. The size and material of the plastic water bottle were very small and fragile for Xiao Liu's trunk. He didn't know how this guy controlled the force, but he only slightly flattened the bottle, and the cap was actually put on.
Courage was fascinated by the sight. Although it knew the structure of the bottle, it had no way of unscrewing the cap, let alone screwing it back on.
After all, the plastic bottle was pitifully small in its paws; it was already quite a feat that it could hold it to drink water.
"Aww!" Me too! Me too!
Courage immediately spoke up, wanting to experience being fed water as well.
Without delay, Xiao Liu picked up a bottle of purified water, and Xiangbi skillfully followed suit, chugging down the entire bottle of water. Mission accomplished.
After finishing a bottle of water, not only did Yongqi quench his thirst, but his already bright eyes shone even brighter.
This elephant's trunk is incredibly flexible! It can do far more than its claws, making it perfect for taking back and developing our industry! Absolutely ideal!
The tiger cub was overjoyed and couldn't wait to pack up the whole herd of elephants and take them away right now.
Lin Qian remained calm, looking at Xiao Liu's actions with some confusion, "Huh?" Why are you collecting bottles?
Are you planning to collect and recycle trash?
Tiger Head shook his head instantly, dismissing the unrealistic idea.
Xiao Liu hummed in agreement, "Mhm." He'd keep it; he could refill it when he found a water source.
Lin Qian and Yong Qi nodded in unison. That was indeed true. This was how they had collected and stored their water along the way. It had to be said that human-made items were very useful for certain convenient items.
And after such a long period of great change and the continuous increase of spirit beasts, the resources in the human ruins will naturally be used by the spirit beasts.
Lin Qian looked at the elephant herd not far away, and the elephants that were continuously transporting supplies back, his eyes showing a thoughtful expression.
This elephant herd is not only composed entirely of spirit beasts with considerable combat power, but also possesses strong organizational skills. Under such circumstances, it would be quite difficult to abduct the herd.
After some thought, Lin Qian temporarily suppressed his previous plan and decided to observe the situation further. In any case, they were currently on friendly terms, so traveling together for a while should not be a problem.
"Uh-huh!"
Just as Lin Qian was pondering, a spirit beast elephant, a size larger than Xiao Liu, ran over, its nimble trunk carrying several bottles of soda.
Lin Qian's eyes flickered slightly. Yes, it was a familiar color and the packaging looked very familiar.
A 2-liter bottle of Coca-Cola.
Xiao Liu's eyes lit up instantly when he saw the cola.
The entire audience was completely bewildered, utterly unaware of what had happened.
"Mmm." Brother Tiger, this stuff is delicious, I just brought it back.
Xiao Si happily shared the good stuff, showing no fear of Lin Qian or Qi Gong.
Xiao Liu nuzzled his companion, then rolled up a bottle of thirsty water with his trunk. With a "click," a sound unlike the usual sound of a bottle of purified water being opened rang out.
Hearing this familiar sound after so long, Lin Qian felt his mouth water.
It's not that I'm thirsty, it's just that the thought of that taste makes me crave it.
Xiao Liu rolled up the Coke bottle, put it in his mouth, and chugted down half of it.
"Um----"
The little elephant, having drunk half a can of cola in one gulp, tilted its head back and let out a long bellow, its excitement and joy evident.
Xiao Si was much more composed than Xiao Liu. It first rolled up two bottles for Lin Qian and Yong Qi before rolling up one bottle and starting to eat.
Without hesitation, Lin Qian grabbed the Coke bottle, swipe the cap to open it, and was momentarily stunned to see the bubbles that kept bubbling up the moment the cap was removed.
When Xiao Si handed it to me, I shook it a few times, and it seemed to have forgotten about that.
Fortunately, there weren't many bubbles, and the bubbling stopped after three or four seconds.
Tiger Claw gripped the bottle and poured it into his mouth. When the cola hit his tongue, the bubbles burst instantly in his mouth. Unlike humans, Lin Qian felt more of the exhilarating sensation of the bubbles bursting in his mouth, and almost no taste.
