The morning breeze blew the green mist, which wrapped around the mountainside like a ribbon, embellishing the Eagle's Beak Mountain, which was gradually turning green as spring came, and it was looming.
Suddenly, two roars were heard from the forest.
The roar could not penetrate the mist and was locked firmly in the mountains, turning into a low hum.
All creatures living in this forest know the danger behind this growl. It is the declaration made by the absolute overlord of this forest when hunting.
"roar--"
On the gentle slope of the forest, a big cat dressed in a colorful brocade robe was licking the blood on its chin and nose with its barbed tongue.
The yellow and black stripes, the tail as thick as a steel whip, the beard like steel needles, and the conspicuous "king" pattern on the forehead all demonstrate its status as the king of beasts.
At this moment, there was a corpse lying at its feet. It was its prey tonight, a newly grown sika deer.
After licking its paws and chin, the tiger raised its head, growled towards the bushes in front of it, then lowered its head and enjoyed the meal.
Then, there were several noises coming from the bushes.
A chubby little head popped out from the bushes. Its black eyes scanned the surrounding woods vigilantly and were soon attracted by the sweet smell of blood.
Sensing the presence of food, the little tiger jumped out excitedly and rushed over on its four short legs.
But before it could pounce on the food, the tigress who was eating slapped it.
"roar!"
The tigress growled at the little tiger in dissatisfaction, then turned her head and continued eating.
The little tiger rolled over twice after being slapped. After getting up, it cried out in grievance, then squatted obediently on the spot, watching its mother eat with eager eyes.
An adult tigress eats very quickly. Her proud sharp teeth are like two rows of meat cleavers, which can easily tear flesh from food.
Halfway through the meal, the tigress seemed to suddenly realize something and quickly raised her head to look at the little tiger.
Why is there only one cub?
What about the other one?
The tigress turned her head to look at the low bushes and called her children again with a low growl.
But this time, she didn't get a response for a long time.
The tigress was a little uneasy, pacing around the food, and soon turned around and roared at the little tiger, then bit the prey's neck, picked it up in her mouth, and walked towards the bushes.
The little tiger followed his mother obediently, but his eyes were always on the food in her mouth.
Walking into the bushes, the tigress found a relatively flat place to put down the prey, walked around the place where the little tiger had just stayed, sniffed carefully, and after confirming the direction, she picked up the prey again and followed the scent left by the other little tiger.
Soon, the tigress found her cub next to a broken pine tree.
The pine tree was about half a meter in diameter and more than ten meters high, but for some reason it was broken in half. The broken end looked very fresh, so it must have been broken not long ago.
Looking at the broken pine tree, the tigress instinctively felt a little uneasy.
She put down the prey in her mouth, ignored the little tiger behind her who pounced on it to eat, and walked quietly towards the other little tiger with cat steps.
Next to the broken tree, the lone little tiger was unaware of its mother's approach.
It was concentrating on playing with a gray bead. It moved the bead back and forth with its two fleshy paws, and opened its mouth to take a few bites from time to time. It was having a lot of fun.
Just as it grabbed the gray beads with its two paws and opened its mouth to chew them, the tigress, who had quietly walked behind it, slapped her cub on the back of the head.
The little tiger was caught off guard and swallowed the gray bead in one gulp.
The next second, the little tiger's eyes suddenly widened, and his whole body twitched as he fell to the ground.
The tigress didn't know what was going on and her eyes were blank. She was stunned for a moment before she quickly used her nose to nudge the tiger cub's twitching body, trying to help it stand up.
But it didn't do anything.
The little tiger that was pushed rolled on the ground. I don't know if it was accidental or intentional, but when he turned over, he slapped his mother, pushing his nearly 300-pound body and making it roll several times.
"roar?"
The tigress turned over and stood up, staring in a daze at the little tiger that kept twisting its body and looked very painful. It was obvious that she was stunned by the slap.
...What's going on?
When did her kid become so strong?
After a while, the little tiger finally stopped twitching.
After recovering, the little tiger climbed up in a daze.
The tigress, who had been slapped inexplicably, was now alert. She approached cautiously and poked her cub's head with her claws as usual.
The little tiger often plays this game with its mother. When it sees its mother's outstretched paw, it habitually lies on the ground and raises its two little paws to block its mother's attack.
But unlike usual, this time the little tiger's claws were particularly powerful.
Just a tentative touch and the tigress's paw was slapped into the air.
What's going on?
Is this still our own child?
Looking at the little tiger still lying on the ground waiting for her, the tigress's eyes revealed a trace of confusion and doubt.
At this moment, the other little tiger suddenly let out a threatening roar.
The tigress suddenly came to her senses, her eyes flashed with ferocity, and she turned to look in the direction of the little tiger.
I saw a huge stone man about two meters tall standing next to her prey, looking down at the brave little tiger with interest, not paying any attention to the attack launched by the other party at her feet.
The tiger cub's sharp claws came into contact with the hard rock, but couldn't even scrape off a single particle of stone.
The stone man simply bent down and grabbed the skin on the back of the tiger's neck and lifted it up.
"There are tigers... So this is really the Earth in a parallel world?"
Lin Zhongtian looked at the helpless and furious little tiger in his hand with great interest.
After successfully verifying his hypothesis, Lin Zhongtian moved some materials from this world and used the ants on the ground as a reference to construct this new rock body.
In order to allow this rock body to move freely, Lin Zhongtian spent a lot of effort designing the limb joints, so that it can barely complete basic movements such as walking, bending, waving arms, and turning the neck, but the amplitude cannot be too large.
Logically speaking, Lin Zhongtian would have no way to deal with a creature as agile as the little tiger.
But he couldn't resist the blessing of the gray fog space's original consciousness.
After merging into the gray fog space, Lin Zhongtian's consciousness and mental strength became extremely powerful. Even if he was just attached to the gray ball, he possessed a reaction speed that exceeded the physiological limits of all carbon-based creatures.
As long as he wanted, not to mention Tiger, even the Flash would find it difficult to escape his perception.
Coupled with the X-ray-like vision of the white eyes, catching a little tiger is naturally a piece of cake.
Of course, no matter how powerful Lin Zhongtian's consciousness is, he will eventually be constrained by his body. With the current flexibility of his rock body, the most he can do is defend and counterattack, using stillness to overcome movement.
Therefore, after entering this body, Lin Zhongtian began to consider how to change his body.
But before that, he had one more important thing to do, which was to pick up the gray ball that had accidentally fallen into this world before.
But who would have thought that when he just followed the traces to the place where the gray ball fell, he saw the little tiger swallowed the gray ball.
But what surprised him most was the consequences of the little tiger swallowing the gray ball -
It's not dead?
Thinking of this, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but focus his attention on the little tiger beside the tigress.
