Right at that moment, all the rats in the pile suddenly scattered in panic. Maybe because there were too many of them, they could only crowd away slowly.

It took a while for them to all run away. As over ten-thousand cat-sized rats all escaped, the thing which was under the rat pile was exposed.

That was a large block of ice as Lin Qiao had thought. An orange colored animal with black stripes was faintly seen, lying inside the ice.

It was still able to move, but only its upper body. Its lower body seemed to have been disabled. It looked like there was still some space inside the ice block, and the animal was only trapped in it.

Then, Lin Qiao understood why those rats were running. After all in a short while, that boa wriggled over.

It crawled to the ice block, then reared up its head and gazed straight at the adult tigers inside the ice.

There were two tigers in the ice. Lin Qiao was only able to see one of them, as the other one was hiding behind the one she saw.

She jumped over and got closer, then finally saw the other tiger. That tiger had stopped moving; the other tiger was trying to support its body with its forepaws and struggle up.

As the boa approached, it immediately paused, gazing back at the boa and letting out warning roars.

“Roar…”

Lin Qiao trod on a tree which was less than two meters away from the ice block, observing the adult tigers. She didn’t feel the vibe of the tiger which was lying there motionlessly, meaning that it was already dead.

Why was the other tiger staying with it? The tiger which was still alive didn’t seem to be in a good condition either.

As she got closer, she saw a large puddle of blood behind the waist of the living tiger. Clearly, it was injured heavily. Earlier, it tried to stand up, but its rear legs seemed unable to move. Lin Qiao guessed that its spine was already broken.

Lin Qiao carefully looked at the two adult tigers. They weren’t huge, compared to all the other mutated animals in the post-apocalyptic world.

They were only half a size bigger than normal Siberian tigers, weighing about four-hundred kilograms.

The boa quietly stared at the tiger through the ice, letting out its forked tongue from time to time.

Lin Qiao looked around, wondering where the crocodile was.

Right at that moment, she suddenly heard the baby tiger’s screams.

“Owooo!”

Hearing the baby tiger’s cry, the tiger inside the ice was agitated. It abruptly propped up its upper body and gave a weak roar toward where the baby tiger’s sound came from.

“Roar…” After uttering that roar, it powerlessly fell back to the ground again. But in no time, it tried to get up again.

Lin Qiao turned and looked back. She sensed that the baby tiger’s vibe was turning weak. It seemed to have been injured. Also, its scent was mixed together with that of the crocodile.

‘Damn, that little fella has clearly fallen into the crocodile’s mouth. But, it hasn’t died. So, the crocodile didn’t swallow it, right?’

Soon, she heard some noises from that area. The giant crocodile walked over step by step, its strong limbs quaking the earth from time to time. It was slowly approaching the ice block.

“Roar…” The tiger in the ice gave another roar.

The boa started moving as well, maybe because it sensed the crocodile coming. It raised its head high and suddenly opened its mouth wide to bite on the ice block.

Crack! The boa’s sharp teeth sank into the ice block and bit off a small part of it, sending ice pieces flying everywhere. The tiger inside the ice took fright. It popped its eyes and bared its teeth before roaring at the boa, “Roar!”

After the first bite, the boa didn’t stop. Instead, it started to sway its head and bite the ice even harder. More specifically, it was biting and bumping against the ice at the same time. At first, it raised its head high and hit the ice with its teeth, and then made a deep bite.

Unlike any poisonous snake which only had two fangs, the boa had four layers of teeth. However, only the sharp teeth on the first and second layers could be used to launch an attack.

Every time it made a bite, countless ice pieces would be sent flying in the air.

Soon, the crocodile showed up. It held the dying baby tiger in its mouth, slowly getting close to this area.

As it got closer and closer, the boa stopped hitting the ice, hurriedly crawled to the other side to keep a safe distance from the crocodile. After that, the boa and the crocodile were facing each other from both sides of the adult tiger.

“Roar!” Seeing the baby tiger inside the crocodile’s mouth, the large tiger in the ice immediately gave a raging roar. At the same time, it suddenly struggled up from the ground, but its rear legs looked a little weird.

Following its roar, the ice shield cracked and fell to the ground in pieces in just a few seconds, exposing both the two tigers.

Of course, one of them had already become a dead body.

Lin Qiao had no idea what gave the tiger the power to stand up, but the tiger opened its mouth and let out a stream of icy mist toward the crocodile.

The icy mist was sent to the crocodile which was about five meters away from the tiger, but only hit its forepaws.

The crocodile stopped moving. Seeing that the adult tiger’s ice shield was already broken, the crocodile suddenly swung its head upward and threw the baby tiger into the sky, then widely opened its jaws to catch the little thing.

“Roar!” Watching that, the adult tiger gave a raging and anxious roar. However, it wasn’t able to launch another attack. After uttering the last roar, it again fell back to the ground, watching the baby tiger fall toward the crocodile’s mouth.

When the baby tiger fell from the sky, the crocodile held its jaws shut. But after that, it paused in shock, then opened its mouth again and started looking around.

The crocodile thought the baby tiger would fall into its mouth; but now, the little creature was gone.

“Roar!” The adult tiger growled at the crocodile, then its entire body began turning into ice.

Its soft, orange-colored fur stood straight up like ice thorns, and its tail turned into ice as well. Its eyes, mouth, teeth… its whole body turned into ice, as if it had become an ice statue.

Lin Qiao wondered why the ice tiger didn’t trigger this skill earlier, and why it used that power after watching its cub get killed. Was that a one-time-only skill? It was already too late. If the big tiger used its power earlier, it might be able to save the baby tiger.

While thinking, she glanced at the baby tiger which was saved by her from the crocodile’s mouth. At that moment, the little tiger was soaking in the bucket which the king cobra drank from.

The king cobra was now confusedly staring at the little tiger in the water. Just now, that little thing suddenly fell into the bucket.

‘Eh? Is this for me? ‘ the snake wondered.

As the snake opened its jaws and prepared to drag the little tiger out of the bucket and swallow it, Lin Qiao suddenly showed up, picked up the bucket, and said, “Wait! You can’t eat this one.”
