"We need to find a way to repair our relationship a little bit."
Lin Zhongtian thought so in his mind, then turned and walked into the cave.
Hearing the footsteps coming from the cave entrance, the three tigers hiding in the corner of the cave trembled suddenly.
The big tiger quickly lowered its head and made a slight humming sound, as if to express its submission to Lin Zhongtian.
To be honest, if it was just pure violence, it wouldn't be enough to make the tiger so scared.
After defeating them, Lin Zhongtian temporarily merged into the mountain and turned into a rock giant more than ten meters tall. He dug out the huge cave in front of the three tigers.
This was also the reason for the loud noise before.
For wild beasts, size is always the biggest deterrent.
Faced with the two-meter-tall stone man, the tiger might still have plans for revenge, but the more than ten-meter-tall rock giant could only leave fear and awe in its mind.
But it is different for higher intelligent life.
Take humans as an example. No matter if you are an invincible Superman or a hundred-meter-tall monster, even if you are an advanced civilization four light years away whose technology has completely crushed the earth, it is impossible to make everyone lose their fighting spirit.
This is also the reason why Lin Zhongtian feels particularly troubled by the little tiger.
However, when Lin Zhongtian saw the big tiger surrender, he was still in a good mood.
Walking in the night in gorgeous clothes has always been a great regret in life. For someone like Lin Zhongtian who possesses godly power but has been trapped in that ghost place for who knows how many years, he has accumulated even more similar emotions in his heart.
Therefore, even just appearing in front of a tiger would be a very pleasant experience for him.
When Lin Zhongtian walked behind the big tiger, the little tiger squatting beside the big tiger's hind legs raised its head, glanced at Lin Zhongtian quickly, and then continued to lower its head to lick the wound on the big tiger's hind legs.
Lin Zhongtian stood there and watched for a while. After making sure that the little tiger's saliva had not evolved any rapid self-healing function, he bent down, stretched out a finger, and gently touched the wound on the big tiger's hind leg.
Then a wisp of gray mist emerged from his rock fingers.
After coming into contact with the wound, the gray mist quickly penetrated into the skin and flesh, disappearing into the blood.
When the little tiger next to him saw the wisp of gray mist, his eyes suddenly widened, and an inexplicable desire arose in his heart, and he subconsciously stretched out his front paws to reach forward.
Lin Zhongtian glanced at it, then looked at the other little tiger that was still trembling, and seemed to be thinking about something.
It seems that the gray fog has a great attraction to the life that has swallowed it...
Very good, this way it should be much easier to repair the relationship with the little tiger!
Lin Zhongtian stood up while distractedly controlling the wisp of gray mist.
As the carrier of Lin Zhongtian's consciousness, the gray fog's dissipation speed will be greatly attenuated when carrying consciousness.
Therefore, in order to observe the characteristics of the gray fog more clearly, Lin Zhongtian deliberately separated a strand of consciousness and attached it to the gray fog filaments, controlling it to drill into the big tiger's hind legs, until it touched the broken bone, and then released the control.
In an instant, gray mist spread out.
All the flesh and blood cells that come into contact with it are greedily devouring the mist.
In just a moment, the broken bones began to heal and the muscle cells began to reorganize, becoming tougher and stronger.
Lin Zhongtian's consciousness sensed this scene and he couldn't help but nodded slightly.
"It's really a question of dosage."
He originally thought that the gray mist was a poison to life, but now it seems that the gray mist is more like a tonic. It's just that the effect of this tonic is a little too strong, which leads to the scene of instant collapse of the body.
Just now, the gray mist, which was only as thick as a hair, was able to heal and strengthen the big tiger's broken leg. One can imagine how serious the erosion of the boundless sea of fog is to the flesh.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but look at the little tiger at his feet.
The gray ball swallowed by this guy was as big as a glass marble, and it was in a solid state after the gray fog condensed. The amount of gray fog it carried was far beyond the reach of this wisp of gray fog.
It is a miracle that it survived the attack after swallowing such a huge amount of gray fog.
"This should be the chosen protagonist in those demon king novels!"
Lin Zhongtian felt emotional.
He had checked the tiger cub's body. The gray ball in its body had long disappeared, but the evolution brought by the gray fog had not yet ended. Its strength was getting stronger every moment, and now it was twice as much as when it had just swallowed the gray ball.
"I wonder what kind of monsters these three guys will become after the experiment is over..."
As Lin Zhongtian thought about this, he stretched out his hand and controlled a wisp of gray mist to drill into the other leg of the big tiger.
The big tiger lying on the ground seemed to sense something. It turned its head and stared at Lin Zhongtian's fingers with a slightly longing look.
But Lin Zhongtian did not give any more. Instead, he stood up and stepped back, quietly observing the subsequent changes.
Soon, both of the tiger's legs were healed.
A new sense of power came from its hind legs, making it stand up. It jumped back and forth on the flat ground of the cave twice, then walked to Lin Zhongtian and rubbed his rock arm affectionately with its big furry head.
“…”
Lin Zhongtian was speechless.
If he had known that the gray fog had this effect, he wouldn't have bothered with all this effort.
…
…
For the next half month, Lin Zhongtian lived with the three tigers every day.
While cultivating relationships with them, he also studied how to transfer consciousness to flesh and blood.
Ever since he knew that the gray fog could strengthen the body, he became more and more disgusted with his rock body.
This body has no other advantages except being hard enough. Not only is it slow and inflexible, it also has no organs. It can neither speak nor enjoy food.
Living inside, the consciousness feels like being locked in a stone palace, dull and cramped.
Therefore, Lin Zhongtian was eager to change his body.
After half a month of hard work and attempts, Lin Zhongtian finally succeeded in transferring his consciousness into the body of a little squirrel.
During this process, Lin Zhongtian encountered two main difficulties.
One is that the gray fog erodes the flesh and blood, causing the escape speed of the gray balls transferred into the flesh and blood to increase greatly.
Secondly, after the gray ball carrying his consciousness is transferred to the animal's brain, the filaments extending from the gray ball need to be connected to the nerves in various parts of the brain in order to successfully receive this body and obtain the senses belonging to this body and the memories stored in the brain.
The first difficulty is actually not that difficult.
Taking the body of this little squirrel as an example, the speed at which its gray ball escapes is about fifty times that of its rocky body.
The number fifty times sounds large, but it is insignificant compared to the current amount of gray fog reserves in this gray ball.
Lin Zhongtian did a quick calculation and found that with the current reserves of gray fog in the gray ball, it could last at least ten years without active consumption.
As long as you return to the space node before the gray ball completely dissipates, you can get replenishment from the gray fog space.
Therefore, the most troublesome thing is actually the second difficulty, because connecting the brain is really a very precise operation. If you are not careful, a lot of gray fog will be wasted, causing the gray fog filaments to instantly merge into the brain.
The brain is the most fragile organ in a living organism and cannot withstand too drastic mutations.
If one absorbs too much gray fog in a short period of time, it will easily cause the brain to dissolve and the body will be ruined.
Lin Zhongtian also wasted a lot of gray fog and consumed the bodies of two sika deer, three hares, and a squirrel before he successfully transferred the gray ball carrying his consciousness into the little squirrel's head.
