虎妈微微侧头，凌厉的目光扫向后方的森林。
巨大的银色巨狼抬起狼首，和虎妈的目光对上一眼便随意的挪开，不在关注林千一行。
The powerful Snow Wolf King's aura was unmistakable. Apart from Tiger Dad and Tiger Mom, who were only level 16 or 17 spirit beasts, all the other spirit beasts felt their bodies become somewhat heavy.
Tiger Dad let out a low growl, and the Tiger King's aura swept across, instantly isolating the Snow Wolf King's aura. A level 15 spirit beast is already able to control the aura it emits; this method is not difficult.
The Snow Wolf King seemed oblivious, casually walking to the side, its pair of icy blue barks fixed intently on the first of the nine gates that had opened.
Tiger Dad narrowed his eyes slightly, making no comment or greeting; such a need doesn't exist in animal social interactions.
If the Snow Wolf King were not a strong opponent of equal strength, and dared to take a step forward, Tiger Dad and Tiger Mom would instantly repel it, regardless of whether it was killed or injured.
Domineering, tyrannical, and leaving no room for negotiation.
This is the law of spirit beasts.
The Snow Wolf King breathed a slight sigh of relief after noticing that the Tiger Dad had withdrawn his attention. As proud as it was, it was naturally not afraid of the Tiger Dad and Tiger Mom, who were of the same level. What it cared about was the silent tiger.
That level 18 tiger.
Although Lin Qian always stands behind the tiger parents and does not assume the role or responsibility of the leader, its strength cannot be ignored.
The Snow Wolf King was confident that it could resist a level 18 spirit beast, but seeing Lin Qian's group, it couldn't help but be wary, since it was a lone wolf and had no advantage.
At this moment, the Snow Wolf King felt a pang of regret. Why hadn't he brought some of his wolf pack with him?
Oh, it seems like it found it troublesome back then?
The Snow Wolf King shook his head slightly in his heart, feeling that he should be more careful in the future; arrogance and conceit are no good.

"Da da da——————"
Suddenly, a thunderous sound of hooves came.
In the dense forest, a herd of reindeer stretched out, orderly and with thunderous hooves; they were a group of agile and powerful reindeer.
The lead reindeer was covered in jet-black fur, and its eyes were surrounded by a scarlet halo, but its gaze was clear and rational. It was a spirit beast, a level 18 spirit beast!
Lin Qian, who was originally examining the gate, suddenly turned around and his cold gaze instantly fixed on the reindeer king.
At level 18, a spirit beast of the same level as it appeared!
Although he was prepared, Lin Qian was still somewhat surprised to see a spirit beast of the same level so quickly. Its rapid leveling up was the result of many factors combined.
What circumstances led this reindeer to achieve this?
Don't be fooled by the fact that there's only one level difference between level 17 and level 18. After level 15, every level up is difficult, and the difference of one level often represents a significant gap.
Lin Qian, at level 18, could even withstand Tiger Mom's ultimate attack. Given this level of difference, it was clearly impossible for Tiger Mom to kill a level 18 spirit beast.
The reindeer king looked up and stared back at Lin Qian, who was instantly stunned.
It's that!?
Tiger Dad, Tiger Mom, and Courage also recognized the reindeer king—was this the same herd of reindeer from before?!
The reindeer king's gaze swept silently over Lin Qian's four tigers, a look of sudden recollection appearing in its eyes, clearly indicating that it also recognized Lin Qian and the others.
Yes, this reindeer king was the reindeer herd that Lin Qian and his companions hunted when they encountered the spiritual energy vortex. The migrating reindeer herd, the blood-stained river, the eerie spiritual energy vortex—every memory is an unforgettable yesterday.
Lin Qian paused for a moment, then glanced at the reindeer herd. Upon seeing this, the entire tiger was stunned!
A demonic beast!? There's a demonic reindeer in the reindeer herd!?
Unfazed by Lin Qian's shock, the reindeer king raised its front hooves, let out a low whimper, and led the herd to the left.
The long herd of reindeer followed in perfect unison. Whether they were spirit beasts, mutated beasts, or magical beasts, they all moved in unison, as disciplined as a real army.
The Snow Wolf King also noticed the composition of the reindeer herd. Its aloof eyes widened slightly before slowly narrowing again. The Snow Wolf King's gaze towards the reindeer was undisguised; clearly, its interest in the reindeer herd far exceeded that of Lin Qian and the others.
Lin Qian and the others were also very curious about the reindeer herd. If it were a group of spirit beasts, they wouldn't be curious at all; at most, they would just glance at them and try to find out their strength.
But this reindeer herd was far too unusual.
Mutant beasts and demonic beasts are known to be frenzied, bloodthirsty, and mindless creatures. How could the Reindeer King possibly recruit these two creatures for his own use?
The reindeer herd was not long, consisting of only 107 reindeer, which was far from enough compared to the number of spirit beasts on Spirit Beast Mountain.
Moreover, there are only 57 spirit beasts among them, which is exactly half. The rest are mutated beasts and demonized beasts. In comparison, there are more demonized beasts than mutated beasts.
Lin Qian examined it carefully and discovered that the demonized reindeer were clearly from the same reindeer herd as the reindeer king, while the spirit beasts and mutated beasts had distinct racial characteristics compared to the reindeer king. Although they were all reindeer, the herds were still different from one another.
Humans cannot perceive this difference, but Lin Qian, who distinguishes between a lowly beast and a spirit beast, can easily see the difference.
In other words, these demonized and mutated reindeer were all members of the same race that the Reindeer King brought with him when he migrated... No wonder.
Lin Qian is not an ordinary spirit beast. It has human thinking and a sensitivity and understanding of emotions that are different from other spirit beasts. The behavior of the reindeer king is obvious to it.
Lin Qian was right about this; those demonized and mutated reindeer were indeed the reindeer king's clan, which it had found one by one after the heavy rain energy.
