Chapter 3: The King of Beasts

The morning breeze blows the green mist, wrapping around the mountainside like a ribbon, and dotting the eagle's beak mountain, which gradually turns green after the spring has melted.

Suddenly, two roars came from the forest.

The roar could not penetrate the mist, and was firmly locked in the mountain, turning into a low whine.

All the creatures that live in this forest know the danger behind this low roar, which is the declaration of the absolute overlord of this forest when he hunts.

"Roarβ€”"

On a gentle slope in the woods, a large cat in a colorful brocade robe licks the blood stained on its chin and nose with its barbed tongue.

The yellow and black markings, the tail as thick as a steel whip, the steel needle-like beard, and the conspicuous royal pattern on the forehead all show its identity as the king of beasts.

At the moment, at its feet lay a corpse, which was its prey tonight, a sika deer that had just come of age.

Licking his paws and chin, the tiger raised its head and roared into the bushes ahead, then lowered its head and enjoyed the meal to himself.

Immediately afterward, there were several noises in the bushes.

A tiger-headed head emerged from the bushes, its dark eyes scanning the surrounding woods vigilantly, and soon attracted attention by the sweet smell of blood.

Sensing the presence of food, the little tiger jumped out excitedly and rushed over on four short legs.

But before it could pounce on the food, the eating tigress slapped it.

"Roar!"

The female growls at the cub in dissatisfaction, turns her head and continues to eat.

The little tiger was slapped twice by this slap, got up and screamed aggrievedly, and then honestly squatted in place, watching his mother eat.

The adult female eats quickly, and her proud teeth resemble two rows of cleavers, easily tearing flesh off its food.

Halfway through eating, the tigress seemed to suddenly realize something and quickly raised her head to look at the cub.

…… Why is it just a cub?

What about the other one?

The tigress turned her head to look at the low bushes and called out to her child again with a low roar.

But this time, she didn't get a response for a long time.

The tigress was a little uneasy, pacing back and forth around the food, and soon turned her head and roared at the cub, then bit the neck of her prey, picked it up in her mouth, and walked towards the bushes.

The little tiger obediently followed his mother, but his eyes were still on the food in his mother's mouth.

Walking into the bushes, the female tiger found a fairly 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 baby next to a broken pine tree.

The pine tree was about half a meter in diameter and more than ten meters in height, but for some reason it was broken at the waist, and the fracture looked very fresh, and it should have been broken not long ago.

Looking at the broken pine trees, the tigress instinctively felt a little uneasy.

She put down the prey in her mouth, ignored the little tiger that pounced on her to feast on it, and walked quietly towards the other little tiger with cat steps.

Next to the broken tree, the lone little tiger did not notice the approach of his mother.

It was engrossed in playing with a gray bead, and its two fleshy paws were flicking the gray bead back and forth, opening its mouth every now and then to nibble a few bites, and it was having a lot of fun.

Just as it was grasping the gray beads with its two paws and opening its mouth to eat, the female tiger who had quietly walked behind it slapped the back of her cub on the head.

The little tiger was caught off guard and swallowed the gray bead at once.

In the next second, the little tiger's eyes widened suddenly, and his whole body convulsed and fell to the ground.

The female tiger didn't know what was going on, her eyes were blank, and she was stunned for a while, before she hurriedly arched the little tiger's twitching body with her nose and tried to help it stand up.

But it didn't do anything.

The arched little tiger was rolling on the ground, and I don't know if it was accidental or intentional, when he turned over, he slapped his mother on it, pushing the nearly 300-pound body a few times.

"Roar?"

The female tiger rolled over and stood up, looking at the little tiger who was constantly writhing and looking very painful, obviously stunned by this slap.

…… What's the situation?

When did her cub have so much strength?

After a while, the little tiger finally stopped convulsing.

After relieving himself, the little tiger got up a little dazed.

The tigress, who had been slapped inexplicably, was already vigilant at this moment, and cautiously leaned over, flicking her cub's head with her paw as usual.

The little tiger often played this game with his mother, and when he saw his mother's outstretched paws, he habitually lay on the ground and raised his two little paws to thwart his mother's attack.

But unlike usual, this time the little tiger's claws are exceptionally powerful.

With a tentative touch, the tigress's paws were slapped into the air.

What's going on?

Is this still your own cub?

Looking at the little tiger still lying on the ground waiting for her, the female tiger's eyes revealed a trace of confusion and doubt.

At this moment, another tiger cub suddenly let out a menacing roar.

The female tiger suddenly came back to her senses, her eyes showed a fierce light, and she turned her head to look in the direction of the little tiger.

I saw a huge stone figure about two meters tall standing next to her prey, looking down at this brave little tiger with interest, not caring about the other party's attack on her feet.

The little tiger's sharp claws touched the hard rock, and even a few sporadic stone chips could not be scraped off.

The stone man just bent down, and pinched the flesh of the back of the tiger's neck to lift it up.

"There are tigers...... So this is really the Earth of a parallel world? ”

Lin Zhongtian looked at the impotent and furious little tiger in his hand with interest.

After successfully verifying his conjecture, Lin Zhongtian transported some materials from this world and used the ants on the ground as a reference to build this new rock body.

In order to allow this rock body to move freely, Lin Zhongtian spent a lot of effort to design the joints of his limbs, barely able to complete basic movements such as walking, bending over, waving his arms, and turning his neck, but the amplitude should not be too large.

It stands to reason that for an agile creature like a little tiger, Lin Zhongtian has nothing to do with it.

But he can't stand the blessing of the ontological consciousness of the gray fog space.

After merging into the gray mist space, Lin Zhongtian's consciousness and spiritual power became extremely powerful, even if he was just attached to the gray ball, he also had a reaction speed that exceeded the physiological limits of all carbon-based creatures.

As long as he wants to, let alone a tiger, even the Flash will have a hard time escaping his perception.

Coupled with the X-ray general white-eyed field of view without dead ends, it is natural to take a small tiger.

Of course, no matter how strong Lin Zhongtian's consciousness is, he will still be bound by his body after all, and with the current flexibility of this rock body, he can only defend and counterattack at most, and brake quietly.

Therefore, after entering this body, Lin Zhongtian began to think about how to change his body.

But before that, he has one more important thing to do, and that is to pick up the gray ball that accidentally fell on this world before.

But who would have thought that he had just followed the traces to the place where the gray ball fell, and saw the little tiger swallow the gray ball.

But what surprised him the 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 pay attention to the little tiger beside the female tiger.
