Chapter 332: Tigers and Elephants Return
Li Xiang and Jiang Caier spent a week on their honeymoon, and the place they went to was naturally an island. They searched for beautiful islands in the Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, and Atlantic Ocean, and spent day and night together on them. With the Whale Boat, it was natural for the two of them to go on an underwater tour.
The reason why they have a special affection for islands is that they have lived in mountainous areas since childhood. Their families are poor and they have no habit of traveling, so they have never seen the sea from childhood to adulthood.
Except for TV, etc., that doesn't count, it's not like being there.
Although they were the only two people on the island, they did not feel lonely, but very happy. The only drawback was that Jiang Caier was pregnant and could not practice dual cultivation with Li Xiang, so he could only hold it in.
After Li Xiang entered the Saint Level, he became more and more energetic, so it was very difficult for him to endure.
"It's almost time. I have to go back to school to prepare for my graduation thesis and defense." Jiang Caier plans to return to school. She has been enrolled for less than two years, but has already completed doctoral courses in three majors, master's courses in five majors, accumulated enough credits, and published nine SCI papers, including four in top journals. If you add some reviews, that's 17 articles in total. The cumulative impact factor has exceeded 800, making her a true academic superhero.
On campus, the rumors about her identity as a "scientific research extraordinary person" became more and more mysterious.
"My baby is so awesome!" Li Xiang hugged Jiang Caier and kissed her, making the little beauty giggle.
"I'll accompany you to prepare for the thesis and defense." Li Xiang said.
"No!" Jiang Caier refused.
Li Xiang: "Don't want it, do you want it?"
"Really? No. You'll only distract me if you go." Jiang Caier felt very uncomfortable and guilty seeing Li Xiang being with her, but it was really inconvenient during pregnancy.
"I am now a level 16 transcendent after all, and my belly is not particularly conspicuous, so it's okay. I can take care of myself." Jiang Caier said. At school, the cafeteria has rich meals, and there are plenty of snacks and fruits at home, so there is no worry about food and drink. And as a level 16 transcendent, no one can hurt her.
Li Xiang sent her back to her house in Tsinghua University, refilled her space gem ring with elixirs, and had her stay there for the night. The next morning, at Jiang Caier's urging, he reluctantly left.
As soon as Li Xiang left, Jiang Caier carried her laptop and went to the library to start writing her graduation thesis. She was always striving for perfection and naturally wanted to graduate with the highest standard.
She is writing not one, but three doctoral theses and five master's theses. If all go well, she will have three doctoral degrees and five master's degrees this summer, before the great flood.
It is expected that in two or three years, more will be available. Even in the Tsinghua University campus, which is full of geniuses, he is still a legendary figure.
It can be recorded as a profound event in the history of Tsinghua University.
The reason why Jiang Caier was in such a hurry was that she definitely couldn't stay in school during the flood. She had to go back to Lijia Village to take care of her pregnancy, and then when the flood was over, she would probably give birth. She would have to take maternity leave, recuperate, and take care of the child, which would delay her for at least a year.
Jiang Caier was so talented that a place to stay in school had naturally been prepared for her. The deans of almost every college she studied had personally invited her to dinner and extended an olive branch.
…
Since Li Xiang has come to the imperial capital, he naturally has to visit various places. With his current status, he can enter and exit many confidential departments without any obstacles.
"I need your support on two things." Li Xiang said after meeting the leader.
"Oh? Whatever it is, just ask for it."
Li Xiang was not polite and immediately told the story that he had released two groups of exotic animals, one was a group of elephants and the other was five tigers.
"I want to take them back to Lijia Village and settle them in the nearby mountains. Don't worry, they are very smart and will not harm humans. I will also build a high wall for them."
The leader hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed: "I will notify the relevant departments and ask them to give you the green light."
"Thank you."
"I'm very glad you came to see me. You did a great job dredging the water system."
After chatting for a while, Li Xiang said goodbye because the other party was too busy.
He went to Siberia first, and with his speed, he found the tiger den after searching for a short time.
The mother tiger is a Snow Demon Tiger with the potential of level seventeen, and is currently at level five; the little Phoenix Tiger is also a Red-striped Phoenix-winged Tiger with the potential of level seventeen, and like its mother, is currently at level five; and the little Golden Tiger is a Wind-Thunder Golden Tiger with the potential of level twenty-two, and is currently at level seven.
However, although the little golden tiger is powerful and has surpassed its mother, the tiger pack is still led by its mother.
There are two other tigers. Although they are ordinary tigers, they have been with their extraordinary mother and brothers and sisters for many years, so they have acquired some spirituality and their IQs are far beyond those of ordinary tigers.
In fact, tigers are very smart animals.
The mother tiger had gained wisdom and was reluctant to drive her children away, so even though the two tigers were of ordinary talent, she kept them by her side. In her opinion, if they followed her, they would live longer and more comfortably than if they went out to make a living alone.
As for the mating issue, they can go out and find other tigers of the opposite sex and "marry" or "marry" them into this tiger family.
Well, the family tree of the tiger family starts with the mother tiger.
Seeing Li Xiang coming, the tigers galloped up and down, leaping like dragons and tigers. Li Xiang rode on the mother tiger's back and activated "Beast Taming·Canglin Yin", and signed contracts with the mother tiger, little Fenghu, and little golden tiger respectively.
This kind of contract is very mysterious, and it has a bond on the soul. Li Xiang can also communicate with them through telepathy. Before, they could not speak, so communication was somewhat inconvenient, but now it is much more convenient.
Li Xiang asked Xiao Fenghu and Xiao Jinhu to call him "Dad". The two little guys were very excited and started calling him non-stop immediately.
Xiao Fenghu is a female tiger, and the voice that comes into Li Xiang's mind is that of a naive little girl. Xiao Jinhu is a male tiger, and the voice that comes into Li Xiang's mind is that of a simple and honest little boy.
"dad……"
"dad……"
"We finally have a dad."
The tiger mother spoke in a rather gentle voice of a young woman: "...I...I'd better call you Master."
According to the order of seniority, the two children call Li Xiang "Dad", so shouldn't it call him "husband"? But it is obvious that Li Xiang absolutely despises it.
Li Xiang: "Then just call me master." He had indeed forgotten about this. He couldn't let the tiger mother call him dad too.
As for the other two ordinary tigers, they cannot speak and have not signed a soul contract, so they cannot communicate through soul transmission.
"Beast Taming·Canglin Yin" can include 108 exotic beasts, so Li Xiang naturally does not want those with low potential.
It was almost dark at this time. Li Xiang picked up the little golden tiger and the little phoenix tiger with both hands. Although the two weighed nearly 900 kilograms together, it was not worth mentioning to Li Xiang.
They arrived at a hill near Lijia Village in four or five minutes. This place was a little remote, about two kilometers away from Lijia Village, and the mountain was quite steep.
Li Xiang used his earth-related abilities to build a spacious nest halfway up the mountain, put the two tigers in it, and ordered them not to leave the mountain.
He still calls them "little golden tiger" and "little phoenix tiger", not because of their size. If we talk about their size, they are already huge monsters and deserve the word "big", but their "mental age" is relatively young, just like children.
Afterwards, Li Xiang returned to Siberia to pick up the mother tiger and two other tigers, and also settled them in the cave.
As for food, Li Xiang shook his hands and two Wagyu beef appeared on the ground.
The tigers pounced on it immediately, and as they took the bite, they all let out low roars of joy, for they had never eaten such delicious beef before.
This is marbled Wagyu beef, with red and white meat and obvious marble patterns. It tastes much better than the wild animals they hunt in the bitter cold of Siberia.
Li Xiang walked around the foot of the mountain again. Wherever he passed, his earth-based supernatural powers were activated, and a circle of tall rock walls rose out of thin air. In the direction of Lijia Village, a tall stone archway was built with the words "Hushan" inscribed on it.
Then starting from the archway, a winding stone road was built along the valley. Well, this will become a tourist attraction in Lijia Village from now on.
In the distance, Tuantuan, Huanhuan and Lele had climbed up the big pine tree and were looking towards Tiger Mountain. At the same time, in the backyard of the Li family, Erhuang, the little fox and others were also looking around. They naturally sensed the presence of these powerful tigers.
Li Xiang flashed and went home to comfort his many little pets.
Except for Erhuang and the little fox, Li Xiang will not waste the beast taming quota for the rest of the pets in the house because their upper limits are not high. From now on, they will be led by Erhuang and the little fox.
Li Xiang had no plan to let them go out to fight. It would be very good for them to guard the underground city, maintain law and order, patrol the underground farms, and prevent theft by strange animals such as rats and weasels.
There are more and more cats in the house. Several female cats have given birth to several litters, adding five cats with extraordinary potential. However, their grades are not high. Li Xiang provides them with enough first and second grade spiritual medicines and teaches them breathing techniques, hoping that they will grow up quickly.
As the pandas all have great potential, Li Xiang signed soul contracts with them one by one. Tuantuan, Huanhuan and Lele naturally call Li Xiang "Dad", while Tuantuan's three cubs call Li Xiang "Grandpa".
"My own child hasn't even been born yet, but I already have so many godchildren." Li Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was really something.
He went to the wild elephant reserve in the southwest overnight and signed a soul contract with the little white elephant and its mother. This place is very likely to be flooded during a flood. Although they can hide in the mountains, they will be short of food. Elephants have a huge appetite.
As there were too many elephants in the herd, totaling 28 in total, it was impossible for Li Xiang to move them all back one by one, so he gave directions to the little white elephant and its mother, allowing them to lead the herd to migrate freely to Lijia Village.
After all, elephants are relatively docile animals, and people are not that afraid of them, so they can walk on their own. But tigers are not the same. Five Siberian tigers, three of which are of extraordinary size, running along the road through a densely populated province, it would be terrifying.
Before setting off, Li Xiang shook his hands and released a large amount of food, so that each elephant could eat its fill. Only when they were full would they have the energy to continue on their journey.
"Dad, don't worry, we will arrive safely." The little white elephant's voice was thin and sounded like that of a handsome boy.
The female elephant has the voice of an old lady, which is very deep and steady.
Like the mother tiger, the female elephant calls Li Xiang "Master".
After a hearty meal, the elephants couldn't wait to set off at night. Li Xiang accompanied them for a while and then left.
Two days later, the news about the elephants migrating inland became a hot topic.
What's even more amazing is that all the authorities along the way gave the green light. Netizens were talking about it.
A netizen from Yunnan province, @雪山飞狐, posted an emoji with a pipe in his mouth, and commented: "This migration route is more orderly than the herd of wild elephants in 2018. There is even a rare white elephant among them, with skin as white as jade, a real white jade elephant. So majestic!"
Popular science blogger @动物世界VJ (who posted a comparison of Asian elephant habitats) commented: "This is so abnormal! The elephants in the Lancang River basin usually move to the southwestern rainforest, but this time they moved north across three climate zones. The forestry department along the way actually trimmed a 20-meter-wide vegetation buffer zone in advance (over 10,000 likes), which is obviously supported by a national ecological plan!"
A netizen from Yunnan province, @最爱见手青, "thumped his desk in excitement": "Latest Reuters! When a herd of elephants passed by the highway near my home this morning, the highway traffic police actually blocked the road and escorted them, and a truck brought in three tons of pineapples to feed them!"
The news actually spread to the international Internet.
A Japanese netizen: "Is China secretly training war elephant troops? I heard that the White House spokesperson asked for transparency of ecological data!"
A Laotian netizen said: "This white elephant is obviously from our country. I seem to have seen it somewhere before. How did it end up in China?"
A European environmental protection organization questioned: "The elephants eat several tons of food every day, but there is no report of trampling on farmland when passing through. There are many doubts! Please disclose the source of the food they feed, and whether it is genetically modified?" (Attached is a satellite vegetation change comparison map)
Since this news became a hot topic, naturally many bloggers came to take advantage of the popularity and started live broadcasts with the elephant group. Not to mention, there was a lot of traffic, with at least a thousand people online in the live broadcast room, and some had tens of thousands online.
After hearing about this, Yao Yao asked Li Xiang for instructions, so Yongye Media also sent people to start the live broadcast, which was actually to secretly escort and guide the direction.
The people who came were Lei Xiaonan and Han Qifeng, as well as two newly signed anchors with good looks.
In a blogger's live broadcast, a majestic white jade elephant suddenly rolled up a wild fruit with its trunk and threw it accurately towards the drone camera. Netizens immediately flooded the screen with comments like "Tribute certified!"
A traffic policeman laughed outside the camera: "This naughty boy stole two barrels of rice wine last night, and now he throws fruit at everyone he sees!"
In the end, the elephants "settled" on another hill in Lijia Village, with Panda Hill in the middle, Tiger Hill and Elephant Hill on the left and right, and netizens became even more heated in discussing the matter.
"Oh my god, he actually ran to Lijia Village?"
"What is there? Why do so many beasts come here? Is it because the feng shui is too good?"
"There is a rumor that Li Xiang, the village chief of Lijia Village and a popular internet celebrity with over 60 million fans, is the world's mysterious armored man."
“Is this true?”
"I don't know either. It was circulated on the Internet. I watched it by climbing over the firewall."
"Oh my god, everyone abroad knows about it, but only people in our country are kept in the dark."
"That's right. People abroad know how big our warships are, but we don't."
With the addition of these two attractions, Lijia Village has attracted more tourists to check in.
You know, among the five tigers, three are extremely large, the kind that are rarely seen in the world. Even the two ordinary tigers are large in size among ordinary tigers.
The tiger mother weighs 800 kilograms. Watching her up close gives me a very oppressive feeling. I doubt whether the high wall can hold them.
In fact, they could not be trapped. If they wanted to come out, it would take only a few minutes. However, Li Xiang ordered them not to go down the mountain, so they stayed on the mountain obediently every day. There was food and drink here, and more time for cultivation.
As for "Xiangshan", a high wall was also built there.
These high walls are actually mainly to prevent tourists from breaking in, not to trap tigers and elephants.
At this time, Li Xiang was having a good time at Chiba Xue'o's place in Mt. Fuji. At home, Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui took turns to attack him, but none of them could stand his attack, so he came to Japan.
Mainly, I wanted to see how Chiba Yukio was preparing.
Chiba Yukio bought a piece of land on Mount Fuji and planned to build a shelter. Li Xiang used his earth-related abilities to help her build the main structure in the belly of the mountain. With Li Xiang's current strength, it only took a few minutes.
In his country, he handed over the shelter to a construction company, one of the reasons being that it would provide employment opportunities and boost domestic demand, but in Japan there was no such demand, so he just did it himself.
Chiba Yukio was very satisfied with this mountain shelter, especially because Li Xiang had specially designed several hot spring houses and built spring water channels underground to draw in the living hot springs from the underground of Mount Fuji.
Then the decoration and construction of the exterior buildings were handed over to Chiba Yukio.
Some people were short-sighted and wanted to take advantage of Chiba Yukio, the beautiful widow. Naturally, they were severely punished. Some were beaten so badly by Bai Zangzhu that they would probably have to spend the rest of their lives in a wheelchair.
Li Xiang felt that Chiba Xuexu was still soft-hearted. If it were him, he would have killed him directly.
Chiba Yukio was already at the fourth level before, and he rose two levels in the past year or so. He is now at the sixth level and has six shikigami.
The twin magatama are also at the fourth level.
Li Xiang came here this time and stayed for five days. In the first two days, he helped Chiba Xuexi with the work, such as building a shelter, organizing the warehouse, replenishing supplies, and teasing the twin magatama, a pair of delicate and beautiful little girls. In the next three days, Chiba Xuexi served Li Xiang wholeheartedly, and the two of them stayed in the secret bath underground and never came out.
Chiba Xuexu was as soft as flower mud and was tormented to the point where she couldn't even stand up, but the benefits she gained were enormous. This time, she and Li Xiang practiced together and broke through two levels again, becoming an eighth-level transcendent.
She was indeed gifted. She gained a shikigami every time she broke through a level. There were eight in total, namely: Aoandon, Aka Prajna, Hakuzang, Yukiyomi, Jintongzi, Xuanchi, Garuda, and Yomizu.
Among them, Jin Tongzi is the Blood Flame Tyrant, a red-haired boy with naked upper body, dark red ghost horns piercing his skin from his forehead, and a picture of a hundred demons parading at night tattooed on his right arm wrapped with a soul-locking chain.
Xuan Chi is the Weaver of the Deep Sea Mist, in the form of a woman dressed in black with long hair like a waterfall, the ends of her hair dripping with the water of the never-drying Forgetful River.
Garuda is the lord of wind and thunder in the sky, a handsome monk in the form of a golden-winged bird, with a snow-white robe embellished with Sanskrit scriptures and mantras.
Yozenjin is a hunchbacked old woman wearing a Noh drama "Osa" mask, holding a soul-guiding lantern in her withered branch-like hands. She can summon the illusion of a hundred demons parading at night.
The latter ones also have their own unique skills, powerful fighting ability, and cunning means, but they are not very good-looking and have a masculine image. Therefore, when Chiba Xuexiu served Li Xiang, he only summoned the most beautiful and charming "Qingfangzhu", "Aka Prajna" and "Tsukiyomi" to accompany him.
As for Bai Zangzhu, although she is a girl, she looks like a silver-haired boy, neither male nor female. Chiba Xuexi knew that Li Xiang didn't like it, so he didn't summon it.
Although Chiba Yukio has advanced to the eighth level and has a total of eight shikigami, making her the most powerful woman in Japan, when she was practicing dual cultivation with Li Xiang, she felt more and more that Li Xiang was powerful and unfathomable, and she couldn't help but admire him more in her heart.
The twin magatama couldn't help but use the "Oborozuki Ice Mirror" to peep again. This time, Li Xiang didn't need to do anything. Qingfangzhu appeared in their room, stopped this behavior, and coaxed them to sleep.
But they couldn't sleep at all. They just whispered in their beds, full of envy.
