Chapter 59 Waaaaah... I don't want to migrate anymore!
Twenty-six days after birth.
[Ding! Run 10000m, running skill proficiency +1! (100/100)]
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your running skill proficiency has reached maximum. This skill has evolved into—Sprint!]
"Finally, I've maxed out my proficiency!"
The old man, panting heavily, was overjoyed.
As his skills evolved, Cang Nian felt his limbs become much stronger again, especially his tendons, which became much more resilient.
He then rested for a while to get back to peak condition, and then ran wildly on a path with few obstacles!
Whoosh! ! !
He moved so fast that he left a blur, darting through the dense forest with unprecedented speed!
"My current top speed should far exceed that of an ordinary tiger. If I were in a wide, flat area, I would probably be second only to a cheetah."
Cangnian estimated his speed and was very satisfied with this evolution.
Now, he has one statistic that has completely transcended the ordinary!
However, he could sense that it would be difficult to increase the speed by such a large margin in the future.
After all, the laws of physics limit this; the cheetah sacrificed many other things to achieve the fastest speed on land.
I can get close to this speed now. If I want to improve it further, I will have to overcome the oncoming air resistance, which will be extremely terrifying.
However, this speed is already sufficient to handle the vast majority of problems.
To put it simply, if it were me now, five days ago, chasing poachers, I could have easily walked the first half of the journey like it was a stroll, and after crossing the river, I could have chased after the trucks on the highway and jumped on them.
Because they couldn't finish the brown bear's meat in one meal, the Cangnian family stayed here temporarily after arriving.
During this time, Cangnian focused on training his running skills and also helped Tiger Brother improve its physical fitness.
Otherwise, if they would be in dire straits after walking just ten kilometers, how could they continue their migration?
Only ten kilometers from its original habitat, this was far from enough for the tiger father who wanted to escape humans.
Fortunately, Tiger's physical talent is undeniable. Under Cang Nian's rigorous and demanding training, his physical fitness improved very quickly. In just four days, he could run 10 kilometers in under two and a half hours.
Although it's much slower than when Cang Nian was using the running skill, it's still considerably faster than when he was using the jogging skill.
For a tiger cub that is about to turn one month old, this is already a mythical event.
In this way, by migrating for ten hours a day, one can cover forty kilometers and soon be able to leave their original habitat and no longer be targeted by poachers.
Ouch~!
Just as Cangnian finished testing his evolved speed, Tiger Dad's roar came from afar.
This is a reminder for him to go home and prepare for migration!
……
Seeing the results of Cangnian and Hudi's training, Hu Ma also had an idea. So for the past four days, she and Hu Dad took turns watching over the two cubs, while the other one exercised to burn off energy.
Normally, Tiger Mom wouldn't waste her energy like this.
But the tiger father's astonishing transformation, coupled with his unerring hunting skills, made the tiger mother realize that something must have happened to him that she couldn't understand.
Now that food is guaranteed, you can exercise with peace of mind.
In particular, since they were in a hurry to migrate, and the meat on the brown bears could not be wasted, the two adult tigers took turns exercising to burn off energy and speed up their eating.
The effect of this method is obvious. Although it did not significantly speed up the process for tiger parents, it did speed up the consumption of food.
Today, we've finally finished eating the brown bear meat; it's time to migrate!
Since only Cangnian knew the nearest human settlement among the family of four, he was the only one who could lead the way.
"Since we are going to migrate, we should naturally migrate to places with better living conditions."
Let me think about it. First, there needs to be a convenient, clean, and continuous water source; at the very least, there needs to be a small stream running through it.
Secondly, there must be a fixed, concentrated herd of medium to large-sized prey, such as elk, sika deer, reindeer, red deer, and moose.
In addition, I need a flat, open grassy area where I can run freely and practice various skills.
"Hmm...it also needs to be safe enough, unlike that mountain to the north, where a heavy rain caused a landslide, burying countless animals."
Cangnian pondered the conditions required for a new habitat, his gaze sweeping around before finally settling on the southwest direction.
To the northeast is Kangcheng, and to the due north is the mountain that was washed away by heavy rain and caused a mudslide.
Although there are mountains in the southwest, the terrain is relatively flat, but there are also relatively high slopes, so you won't be left with nowhere to run if there is heavy rain.
"Ow~!"
Turning around, Cangnian howled at the tiger dad, tiger mom, tiger brother, and little sable who were already prepared, and then headed southwest.
Seeing this, the three tigers and the sable had no objections and followed behind Cangnian.
Having experienced being captured by poachers and rescued by Cangnian, even the tiger father, who had spent the least amount of time with Cangnian, understood that Cangnian was very smart, smarter than the other tigers in their family.
Therefore, Tiger Dad stopped worrying about how to migrate and left it to Cangnian to decide.
Tiger Dad himself carried three animal skins on his back and followed at the very back, walking slowly.
Of the five animals—a family of four plus the little sable—Tiger Brother was the slowest.
However, the migration wasn't too urgent, so in order to train Tiger Brother, everyone agreed to proceed at Tiger Brother's pace.
The older one is agile and safe, so there's no need to worry. Only the little chubby Tiger Brother is slow and has a lot of meat, so we have to keep a close eye on him.
Therefore, the tiger father was at the very back of the group, both as a deterrent and to prevent any reckless individuals from harming his younger brother.
However, such concerns are actually unnecessary.
After all, apart from humans, tigers are the kings of the snowy mountains of Northeast China. No one dares to provoke two strong adult tigers, one male and one female, who are also young.
Cangnian, who was leading the way, would occasionally hunt small animals weighing more than one kilogram to hone his killing skills.
Even when migrating, Cangnian will not waste time, but will instead take the time to improve himself.
The tiger mother walked in front of the tiger brother, turning back every now and then to urge him not to slack off.
The little sable stayed by Tiger Brother's side, squeaking to encourage him and tell him not to be discouraged.
The tiger dad, who was following behind, would nudge his younger brother with his paw when he saw him trying to slack off.
After spending these past few days together, the tiger father has realized that both cubs have extraordinary talents. The younger cub is just being lazy, not physically exhausted. Therefore, he will adopt a strict fatherly attitude and urge it to keep going.
Ouch~!
Only Tiger Brother howled in pain.
Before, only my older brother urged me to exercise, but now that he's always ahead of me and doesn't care about me, my tiger dad, tiger mom, and even the little sable who massages and tickles me are all supervising me...
woo woo woo...
I don't want to migrate anymore!
Tiger Brother, who initially thought it would be a relaxing and enjoyable trip, is now complaining endlessly.
