Fearing that Gu Xi would say he was useless, Wu Liu racked his brains to come up with an answer when Gu Xi asked what the Mountain God could do.
This answer made Gu Xi look at Wu Liu somewhat unexpectedly.
"Oh, what did the previous Old Mountain God and that tiger do?"
"The Old Mountain God nurtured the Earth Qi, having a small Spirit Vein over there. If not forcibly mined, it could provide about thirty Spirit Stones a year, which was considered extra income.
The Old Mountain God relied on this to sustain a group of soldiers.
The tiger didn't care about these; he didn't rely on Spirit Stones to live, he needed to eat meat. So he left a large herd of deer on the mountaintop, where Spirit Grass was planted. Those deer were also filled with Spirituality, the tiger's favorite.
Additionally, the Old Mountain God had a habit of seeking treasures in the mountains.
But the tiger did not; he was only responsible for eating."
Wu Liu explained the situation here.
