Chapter 23 Teaching Tiger Brother to Climb Trees
Seeing that Tiger Brother had finally mustered his fighting spirit and was no longer lazy, a smile appeared on Cang Nian's face.
Tiger Brother's talent is undeniable, but unlike me, he doesn't have the constant numerical stimulation from the system to motivate him, which leads to him not taking training seriously, being lazy whenever he can, and being too lazy.
The presence of the little sable has ignited Tiger Brother's fighting spirit, which is undoubtedly a good thing.
Although the two male tigers will inevitably separate and travel far away after reaching adulthood to find their own mates and pass on their bloodline, Cangnian hopes to become strong enough to become the overlord of a jungle before separating from him.
Otherwise, given the size of the Siberian tiger population, it would be difficult for them to find mates amidst fierce competition.
"Roar~!"
Thinking this, Cangnian let out a soft roar, directing Tiger Brother to climb the tree.
Tiger Brother is larger and stronger than Cangnian in terms of limb strength, but he is relatively fat and cannot run as fast as Cangnian.
Therefore, according to Cangnian's estimation, Tiger Brother's limb strength should be sufficient to climb up and down the tree.
Hearing his older brother urging him on, Tiger Brother recalled Tiger Mother's actions and Cangnian's movements as he climbed up and down the tree. He took a few steps back and then suddenly charged forward!
But just before it reached the main trunk of the pine tree, it suddenly became frightened and immediately closed its eyes.
Bang~!
With a muffled thud, Tiger Brother collapsed to the ground, dazed and confused.
Seeing this, Cangnian quickly ran to Tiger Brother's side and used his paw to straighten its head, only to see that Tiger Brother had already rolled its eyes back.
"How could I have such a stupid younger brother? Who just shuts himself in and blindly charges ahead?"
Cang Nian suddenly felt an urge to cover his face, thinking to himself.
Out of fear, Tiger Brother rushed forward with his eyes closed, knocking himself unconscious. That's just unbelievable...
Zhizhi~!
Just then, a squeaking sound came from above again. Cang Nian looked up and saw that it was indeed the little sable, now looking down at Tiger Brother, covering its mouth and chuckling.
Uh...
Perhaps he had recovered, or perhaps he heard the little sable laughing above his head, Tiger Brother slowly woke up and swayed as he stood up.
Looking up, Tiger Brother saw that the little sable was indeed mocking him. He immediately raised his head in anger and howled.
"Looks like I'll have to demonstrate it a few more times..."
Seeing that Tiger Brother had not lost his enthusiasm, Cangnian sighed inwardly.
However, there was nothing he could do. Unlike himself, Tiger Brother was an adult reborn as a tiger, and thus possessed a more mature way of thinking.
Tiger Brother is only fourteen days old. Other tiger cubs of this age are still crawling around in their small dens. Tiger Brother can already crawl steadily and will soon be able to jog. That's quite impressive.
You can't expect too much from it.
"Ow~!"
After thinking for a moment, Cangnian first growled at Tiger Brother to draw its attention to himself, then walked to the pine tree.
Then, he raised his two front paws and placed them on the tree trunk, gradually transforming himself into a backward upright position.
After doing all this, Cangnian retreated, stood on all fours, and repeated the same actions.
And so, Cangnian did this action five times before stopping.
"Ow~!"
Then, Cangnian looked at Tiger Brother, raised his paw and pointed at the tree trunk, indicating that Tiger Brother should imitate his actions and try it.
Fortunately, although Tiger Brother's IQ isn't particularly high, the two brothers have spent so much time together that he's become quite understanding of Cang Nian's unique way of expressing himself.
Under the expectant gaze of the old man, it successfully understood his body language, slowly walked to the tree trunk, and raised its front paws as if imitating the old man...
Baji~!
But the next second, it fell flat on its face.
"Uh...it seems that Tiger Brother's balance is not good enough, and he can't lift his front paws at the same time."
Seeing Tiger Brother fall down, Cangnian immediately understood why he had fallen and felt somewhat embarrassed.
But soon, he came up with a solution. He let out a low growl to make Tiger Brother look at him, and then demonstrated again.
The movements were almost identical to the previous ones, with only one difference.
That is, the action of climbing a tree with the front paws has changed from lifting both paws off the ground and placing them on the tree trunk to lifting both front paws one after the other and placing them on the trunk.
That way, Tiger won't fall down!
He repeated the action five times, then Cangnian stepped back and gestured for Tiger Brother to try imitating him again.
Fortunately, Tiger Brother's enthusiasm for climbing trees and catching sables wasn't just a passing fad. Even though he fell down once, he didn't get discouraged and tried to imitate Cang Nian's movements step by step.
This time, the steps were optimized, and Tiger Brother completed this step thanks to his excellent physical condition!
Seeing this, Cangnian nodded in satisfaction.
Although he's still a long way from actually being able to climb trees, Tiger can understand his own expressions, so it's only a matter of time before he learns.
Then, Cangnian raised his paws in front of Tiger Brother's eyes, controlled the spread of his claws, and sprang out the claw blades hidden between the pads of his paws.
This amazed Tiger Brother, and his eyes lit up.
Then, Cangnian placed his claws, which had already extended their blades, onto the tree trunk.
The sharp claws embedded themselves in the bark, and Cang Nian shook his claws exaggeratedly a few times.
The claw blades held the claws firmly in place on the bark, preventing them from falling off.
Seeing this, Tiger Brother also raised his claws, but he couldn't see where the claw blades were.
Woo~!
Seeing this, Tiger Brother let out a worried sob.
It understood what Cangnian meant: it must use its claws to embed themselves into the bark in order to climb the tree!
But it doesn't seem to!
Upon seeing this, Cang Nian's heart skipped a beat.
I was so busy teaching Tiger Brother how to climb trees that I didn't even know if he had grown claws yet!
Although Tiger Brother's current size is equivalent to that of a three-month-old tiger cub, he definitely has claws.
But it's currently a tiger cub that's only half a month old, so whether it has claws or not is really hard to say...
Thinking of this, Cangnian told Tiger Brother to put his paws on the ground, and he used his paws to paw at it.
Because he wanted to learn to climb trees, Tiger Brother was very obedient, stretching out his paws and letting the old man manipulate them.
"Fortunately, it has claw blades, and they're not flimsy; they're quite strong. It should be able to handle the task of climbing trees!"
Cang Nian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking with relief.
If Tiger Brother can't learn to climb trees for the time being because his claws haven't fully developed, it would be a huge blow to his enthusiasm for learning.
Next, Cangnian spent some time teaching Tiger Brother how to flexibly extend and retract his claws.
Fortunately, this is one of the instinctive actions etched into the tiger's genes. Tiger Brother had just never seen it before, so he didn't understand how to do it. After Cangnian gave him some pointers, he quickly understood and mastered the action.
Having learned how to flexibly extend and retract his claws, Tiger Brother was like a child who had received a new toy, tirelessly extending and retracting them repeatedly, having a great time.
Ouch~!
Then, as if it remembered something, it raised its head, raised one front paw, and waved it triumphantly at the little sable in the tree.
The tiger brother, who had witnessed his mother hunting, knew that this was an important weapon on the tiger's body.
Its current actions seem to say—just wait! Once I learn to climb trees and catch you, I'll show you the power of my claws!
