My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

Chapter 509: Chapter 332: The Tigers and the Elephant Herd Return to Their Positions (Part 2)

This kind of contract was incredibly profound, forging a bond at the soul level. It also enabled Li Xiang to communicate with them via Soul Transmission. Since they couldn’t speak before, interaction had been somewhat inconvenient, but now it was much easier.

Li Xiang told Little Fenghu and Little Golden Tiger to call him ”Dad,” and the two little ones, extremely excited, immediately began calling out nonstop.

Little Fenghu was a tigress, and the voice she transmitted into Li Xiang’s mind was that of an innocent little girl. Little Golden Tiger was a male, and his voice sounded like a simple, good-natured little boy.

’Dad...’

’Dad...’

’We finally have a dad.’

The Tiger Mother’s voice, however, was that of a gentle young woman. ’...I... I think I’ll just call you Master.’

’According to the family hierarchy, if her two children called Li Xiang ’Dad,’ wouldn’t that mean she had to call him ’husband’? But it was obvious Li Xiang would never be interested in her.’

Li Xiang replied, ’Then just call me Master.’ He had indeed forgotten about that complication; he couldn’t very well have the Tiger Mother call him ’Dad’ too.

As for the other two Mortal Tigers, they couldn’t speak to begin with and hadn’t formed a Soul Contract, so they couldn’t communicate via Soul Transmission.

The Beast Taming: Azure Qilin Guide could accommodate 108 Exotic Beasts, so naturally, Li Xiang had no interest in those with low potential.

By now, it was almost dark. Li Xiang tucked Little Golden Tiger and Little Fenghu under his arms. Though they weighed nearly nine hundred kilograms combined, for Li Xiang, it was nothing.

He took off, and within four or five minutes, he reached a mountaintop near Li Family Village. The location was somewhat remote, about two kilometers from the village, and the terrain was quite steep.

Using his Earth Superpower, Li Xiang constructed a spacious den on the mountainside. He placed the two tigers inside and ordered them not to leave the mountain.

He still called them ”Little Golden Tiger” and ”Little Fenghu,” not because of their physical size—judging by that, they were already behemoths and deserved the ”Great” prefix—but because their ”mental age” was still young, like that of small children.

Afterward, Li Xiang returned to Siberia to get the Tiger Mother and the other two tigers, settling them in the same cave as well.

As for food, with a flick of his hand, Li Xiang summoned two Wagyu cattle onto the ground.

The tigers immediately pounced. With the first bite, they all let out low, pleased growls. They had never eaten such delicious beef before.

This was snowflake Wagyu, its meat a mix of red and white with distinct marbling. It was far more delicious than the wild animals they used to hunt in the bitter cold of Siberia.

Li Xiang then circled the base of the mountain. Wherever he went, he activated his Earth Superpower, causing a tall, circular rock wall to rise from the ground. In the direction facing Li Family Village, he even constructed a large stone archway, inscribed with the two words ”Tiger Mountain.”

Then, starting from the archway, he built a winding stone-slab path that followed the mountain pass. ’Heh, this will be another tourist attraction for Li Family Village in the future,’ he thought.

In the distance, Tuantuan, Huanhuan, and Lele had already climbed a large pine tree to look toward Tiger Mountain. Meanwhile, in the Li Family’s backyard, Er Huang, the Little Fox, and the others were also looking on, having naturally sensed the presence of the powerful tigers.

With a flash, Li Xiang was back home, comforting his many little pets.

Aside from Er Huang and the Little Fox, the rest of the small pets at home had a low potential ceiling, so Li Xiang decided not to waste his Beast Taming slots on them. In the future, they would be placed under the command of Er Huang and the Little Fox.

Li Xiang had no plans to send them out to battle. Having them guard the house in the Underground City, maintain public order, and patrol the underground farm to prevent theft from Exotic Beasts like rats and weasels was a perfectly good role for them.

The number of cats at home was growing. A few of the females had given birth to several litters, adding five kittens with Extraordinary potential. Their Tiers were low, however, so Li Xiang supplied them with ample First and Second Tier Spiritual Medicine and taught them the Breathing Technique, hoping they would grow up quickly.

As for the pandas, since they all had great potential, Li Xiang formed a Soul Contract with each of them. Tuantuan, Huanhuan, and Lele naturally called Li Xiang ”Dad,” while Tuantuan’s three cubs called him ”Grandpa.”

’I don’t even have my own kids yet, and I already have so many adopted children and grandchildren.’ Li Xiang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. ’This is just unbelievable.’

He traveled overnight to a wild Elephant reserve in the Southwest, where he formed a Soul Contract with Xiaobai the white elephant and its mother. The area was highly likely to be submerged during the great flood. Although they could escape to the mountains, food would become scarce. Elephants have enormous appetites.

The herd was too large, numbering twenty-eight elephants, so it was impossible for Li Xiang to move them all himself. Instead, he gave Xiaobai and its mother the direction to Li Family Village and had them lead the herd on a migration.

Elephants, after all, are relatively docile animals that people aren’t as afraid of, so they could travel on their own. The tigers were a different story. Five Siberian Tigers, three of them Extraordinary and massive, running through densely populated provinces? They would scare people to death.

Before they set off, Li Xiang produced a large pile of food with a wave of his hand, allowing every elephant to eat its fill. They’d need the energy for the long journey ahead.

’Dad, don’t worry,’ Xiaobai’s voice came through, delicate and reedy, like that of a refined young boy. ’We’ll definitely make it there safely.’

The mother elephant’s voice, on the other hand, was that of a middle-aged woman—deep, powerful, and steady.

Like the Tiger Mother, the mother elephant also addressed Li Xiang as ”Master.”

Having eaten their fill, the herd was eager to go and set off that very night. Li Xiang accompanied them for a short distance before leaving.

Two days later, news of the elephant herd migrating inland started trending online.

What was even more amazing was that officials all along the route gave them the green light. The news sent netizens into a flurry of discussion.
