Flying swiftly back to the fortress through the falling snow, Lin Ruo's mental energy detected the corpses of two mutated beasts lying on the snow in front of the fortress while she was still in the air.
A mutated bison and a mutated wild sheep, but both of these mutated beasts were only level 2, though they were quite large.
The three mutated beasts, Afu, Ashou, and Alu, lay listlessly in the snow, letting the snowflakes fall on them. They had been lying there for an unknown amount of time, and now they were covered with a thick layer of snow. Their large tails, which had been wagging constantly, were now resting on the ground, motionless, like three giant snow sculptures.
Having lived with them for so long, she could naturally tell that they weren't in a very good mood.
Lin Ruo's figure swiftly swept across the sky, and all the plants planted in the snow below stretched out their branches, waving at Lin Ruo in the sky, trying to attract her attention.
Because of its height advantage, A-Liu, who was standing next to the fortress, spotted Lin Ruo immediately. She stretched out three willow branches and poked the three dejected beasts below at their rear ends, signaling them to get up quickly, as their master had returned.
Afu and the others then stood up, vigorously shaking their fur to shake off all the snow that had fallen on them, creating a large snow mist around them.
Once Lin Ruofei reached the sky above the fortress, she immediately stored all the snow in the mutated forest into her spatial storage, leaving not a single ice crystal on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the wings on her back turned into ice crystals and shattered. As she fell, Ah Liu's willow branches and Lao Bai's branches all stretched upwards, cushioning Lin Ruo in mid-air.
Lin Ruo raised the corners of her mouth, used the branches in mid-air for leverage, then spun around and landed steadily on the ground.
Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow, not worried that they would not be able to withstand the cold. Their thick fur was more effective than any insulation, and water could not get in, let alone snow.
"What's wrong? You look so dejected."
She looked at the two mutated beasts on the ground, her lips slightly pursed, and she already had some guesses as to why they were unhappy.
Old Bai thoughtfully tugged at Lin Ruo's clothes with a branch, then pointed to the two mutated beasts on the ground. Lin Ruo immediately understood that the prey they had hunted was not to her liking, which was why she was in a bad mood.
Lin Ruo shook his head and chuckled, then put the two mutated wild deer and bison on the ground into his spatial storage. "These low-level mutated beasts have their advantages. Their meat is quite tender. I'll use them to make barbecue tonight. I'm sure you'll love it."
"Those high-level mutated beasts are full of energy, but they don't taste very good. They're too dry to use for roasting."
Upon hearing Lin Ruo's words, Afu and the other two were immediately drawn to the barbecue. Thinking of the taste of the barbecue, they completely forgot that they had been feeling discouraged before.
Then Lin Ruo took out another level-five mutated beast that he had caught that day from his spatial storage. The huge mutated beast's body almost filled the entire platform. Not only the five beasts at home, but even the mutated plants in the surrounding mutated forest smelled the blood and flesh of this level-five mutated beast and began to stir.
“Look, I encountered several level-five mutated sea beasts when I went out to sea today, especially this humpback whale. With its size, even if the five of you ate together, it would take a long time.”
The five of them, including A-Liu, kept circling around the humpback whale. Even Lao Bai couldn't resist poking it with a twig, as if the twig was about to pierce it and enjoy its meal.
Lin Ruo sensed the unusual movements of the mutated plants and animals around him and no longer wanted to lure them with his flesh and blood. He waved his hand in the air, and a white light flashed, causing the huge humpback whale to disappear.
Afterwards, the mutated plants and animals outside quieted down, but the few animals at home kept trying to make their presence known to Lin Ruo. Among them, Ah Shou was the most direct, carrying its huge food bowl directly to Lin Ruo, who had just finished taking a bath, and blatantly indicating that it wanted to eat the meat of that level-five mutated beast.
Lin Ruo sighed and looked up at the time. It was already past five o'clock in the evening, which was indeed time to prepare dinner for them.
She prepared dinner for them and watched them eat happily. It was worth it for her to go to the deep sea, nearly a thousand meters below the surface, to catch a level-five mutated beast.
As Alu ate, Lin Ruo felt the energy fluctuations on its body getting bigger and bigger. Lin Ruo had already noticed that the crystal core in its brain was full, but it had not shown any signs of upgrading. She knew that it was stuck in a bottleneck.
She had originally planned to wait until the apple tree outside ripened to upgrade it, and then she could also let A-Liu and the others absorb wood-type crystal cores so that the three of them could upgrade together. However, she did not expect that it had already broken through the bottleneck by eating the flesh and blood of these level 5 mutated beasts and was about to upgrade.
Aru's aptitude is truly exceptional, even surpassing Afu and Ashou, who have undergone multiple enhancements. He truly deserves the title of Tiger King.
Seeing that Alu was eating faster and faster, and after quickly finishing the flesh and blood in his bowl, he ran to Lin Ruo's feet, affectionately rubbed his head against hers, and then lay down on the ground and closed his eyes.
Lin Ruo stroked its body with her hand. At this moment, because A Lu was full of energy, even its previously soft fur was now as hard as steel needles.
She scanned it with her mental energy and, after confirming that there were no problems, put it into her spatial storage. She hadn't dismantled the nest that Afu and Ashou had left behind when they upgraded in the space, so she could put Alu in it directly.
All four of them, including A-Liu, knew that A-Lu was about to level up, and they huddled together, concerned, staring at Lin Ruo, wanting to know how A-Lu was doing.
Lin Ruo reassured them, "I just checked Alu's over, and there's nothing wrong. He'll definitely be able to level up smoothly."
