Although Lin Qian was happy to eat cooked meat and missed the food of the past, he only thought about it for a moment. After all, Shan Feng looked like a twelve or thirteen-year-old child who had not evolved any superpowers. He definitely couldn't stand being grilled like that.
However, adding a chipmunk would make it about right. Thinking of the scene of one person and one chipmunk grilling meat, Lin Qian couldn't help but nod secretly.
There weren't many seasonings, so Lin Qian couldn't possibly eat his fill of cooked food, but he could still enjoy his appetite occasionally.
Aww! No, no, no!
Tiger Head shook his head vigorously. Lin Qian almost forgot his decision. He couldn't just accept the boy in so easily because he wanted to eat meat!
Lin Qian was still very cautious about humans, even though the other party was just a child.
The changes brought about by the spiritual energy revival can be considered the end of the world for humanity. In the past six months, a twelve or thirteen-year-old child has survived, which means he is obviously not the innocent and naive child he was during the peaceful period.
In other words, such a child has already been tempered and experienced, and his character and worldview have been forced to be constructed rapidly under the great changes.
Under such circumstances, it is obviously not safe to force a personality into a fixed shape. Therefore, any changes in this person's personality or thoughts, or any problems that arise, require close attention.
Although Lin Qian is a tiger, he was once an adult, so he understands the complexity of human nature and knows how a child in peacetime would change if he encountered these things.
He wasn't sure if the mountain wind was good or bad; there is no absolute good or bad in humans. What he wanted to be sure of was whether this child could become his companion, whether he could steadfastly and faithfully follow them.
As for the rest, Lin Qian doesn't mind as long as it doesn't cross the line.
Even if the child has personality flaws, he wouldn't have any objections. After all, in such a collapsed human environment, just surviving is already quite an achievement.
Lin Qian sent Chief Jin Diao to look after Shan Feng instead of bringing the person back directly because of this concern. He needed to consider it further. Accepting a human and letting Tiger Mom and the others get close to humans would involve many hidden dangers, and he had to be careful.
Despite her concerns, Lin Qian would not completely rule out this possibility.
He knew that the tigers would eventually come into contact with humans; it was only a matter of time. Rather than being caught off guard and scrambling to prepare later, it was better to let nature take its course.
Since Shanfeng himself chose to follow, he would give them both a chance.
As long as the mountain winds can persevere and follow them to the basin, Lin Qian will bring this resilient child back. Compared to a more worldly adult, it would be better to let Tiger Dad and the others get to know a teenager first.
At least, there will be far fewer concerns.
Meanwhile, the human boy Shanfeng, who was being swayed by Lin Qian's hesitation, was secretly observing the Golden Eagle leader and his wife standing on the tree branch.
That's right, the female golden pheasant also flew over, and it came after catching its prey.
The couple ate their prey in a peaceful and harmonious manner. After they were full, they snuggled together to rest, completely ignoring the curious boy under the tree.
Looking at the incredibly mysterious Jin Diao couple, even Shan Feng, who knew nothing about Jin Diao, could tell they were a couple, mainly because the smell of the dried grain was just too strong.
Lin Qian: That's definitely not the reason I sent Leader Jin Diao away!
Seeing that the golden chrysanthemums were obviously going to sleep, Shanfeng observed them for a while and quickly found a spot under the tree to close his eyes and rest.
He wasn't sure if Jin Diao would wait until sunset to act as he suspected, but he needed to rest as soon as possible.
Having not slept for a day and a night, and having trekked such a long distance, Shan Feng was already exhausted. If it weren't for his willpower that kept him going and his relentless pursuit of catching up with the tigers, he would have collapsed long ago.

Whether it was from exhaustion or the confidence gained from having Jin Diao by its side, Shan Fengzi quickly fell asleep under the tree.
The Golden Eagle leader opened its eyes, glanced at the boy under the tree, then shook its wings, adjusted its position, and continued to rest.
It wasn't worried about the boy's safety; with them around, neither ordinary wild beasts nor spirit beasts would easily approach.
The aura of a level-three spirit beast is extremely intimidating. For wild beasts with keen instincts, it is just like smelling the scent of a tiger or other natural enemy, or even more terrifying.
As for the demonic beasts, they will definitely detect them immediately if any demonic beasts approach.
This is also why Lin Qian asked Chief Jin Diao to look after Shan Feng; the further they ventured into the wilderness, the more dangers they would face.
Shan Feng was just an ordinary boy, with no chance of protecting himself. Not to mention dying of thirst or starvation, even an ordinary beast could devour his frail body.
With the Golden Diao leader and his wife by his side, Shan Feng's personal safety is naturally not a problem, and the Golden Diao will also take care of Shan Feng's food.
Of course, according to Lin Qian's plan, he would only provide help when the mountain winds had no other choice but to find food. He didn't want the boy to think that they were stupid and easy to fool.
However, Jin Diao will provide water from time to time; otherwise, the mountain wind would not last two days at this temperature. And in the dense forest, unless the mountain wind is incredibly lucky, it is almost impossible to find water.
Moreover, Shanfeng dared not leave the vicinity of the trails left by the tigers. He was not familiar with the wild, and it was all unfamiliar territory. Once he went too far, he might get lost, and the chance of finding his way back would be almost non-existent.
