Chapter 19 The Angry Tiger Brother
Chapter 19 The Angry Tiger Brother
Upon reaching Tiger Mom, Cangnian rubbed his cheek against hers to express his praise for her successful hunt, and then led Tiger Brother to practice self-discipline.
Although the mother tiger failed to hunt her prey herself, it was because of the leopard's interference. Otherwise, with the mother tiger's rich hunting experience, she wouldn't have failed when she was so close to the prey.
Based on Cangnian's understanding of the surrounding environment over the past two days, if this life is still on Earth, then it is almost certain that this place should be within the snowy mountains of the northeast of the Dragon Kingdom.
In that case, the leopard should be a subspecies of the leopard family that is even rarer than the national treasure panda—the Amur leopard, also known as the Northeast leopard!
After witnessing Tiger Mom's heroic hunting prowess firsthand, Cangnian became even more eager to become stronger as soon as possible.
"I wish I could hunt this coolly too..."
Cang Nian jogged slowly, thinking enviously.
The more he thought this way, the more enthusiastic Cang Nian became about training.
With the system in place, every effort I make will not be in vain. Perhaps I won't even have to wait until I'm an adult to easily hunt like Tiger Mom!
Meanwhile, the tiger mother was devouring the carcass of a sika deer under the shade of a tree.
This sika deer is a female and weighs approximately 70 kilograms.
After all, given the size of the Amur leopard, it would be difficult for it to hunt an adult male sika deer weighing more than 100 kilograms.
However, this kind of prey is just right for the tiger mom.
With a weight of 70 kilograms and a net meat weight of around 40 kilograms, it can provide Tiger Mom with a good, satisfying meal, and it can last longer than the previous silly roe deer that only weighed 40 kilograms.
However, looking at the older tiger who was exercising, and the younger tiger who was lagging behind, wanting to slack off but not daring to, the tiger mom felt that she might not be able to hold out for much longer...
After all, Cangnian and Hudi are growing up too fast, changing every day.
Growth comes at a price, and that price is nutrition.
Now, Cangnian and Hudi can only get their nutrition from their mother's milk. Therefore, how long a meal can sustain the mother depends entirely on how much Cangnian and Hudi eat.
As they grow larger, Cangnian and Hudi's appetites will only increase.
But after only a short while of worrying, Tiger Mom stopped worrying.
The two cubs can now walk freely. The faster they grow, the more energy they consume, but it also means they can develop self-defense capabilities more quickly.
For example, the two brothers, who should have been slowly crawling around in their den and sleeping most of the day, can now run around with it. They are quiet and well-behaved when taken by its side, and can even be taken along for hunting, serving as its personal protector.
Perhaps, before long, the two cubs will be able to hunt on their own, and raising them won't be too much trouble!
Tiger Mom thought optimistically, then happily swallowed a bite of deer leg meat, feeling extremely satisfied.
[Ding! Jogging 1000m, jogging skill proficiency +1! (4/100)]
"Huff... huff... now that I'm used to this jogging rhythm, my speed seems to have increased a lot. This kilometer should have only taken about two hours."
Hearing the system notification in his mind, Cang Nian thought happily.
It should be June now, close to the summer solstice. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, but at the same time, the days are getting longer and longer.
Now, from sunrise to sunset, there are about sixteen hours. Subtracting eating, drinking, relieving oneself, and necessary rest, there are about twelve hours a day that can be used for exercise.
"It takes two hours to accumulate one level of proficiency, so you can accumulate six levels a day. The higher the proficiency, the faster you can accumulate. So, it might take half a month to accumulate a hundred levels, which will fundamentally change your jogging skill..."
Cang Nian thought optimistically.
Soon, it was noon. The sun was high in the sky and the weather was hot. Even if Cang Nian wanted to run, his tender body couldn't withstand the strain. He could only take his younger brother to the shade of a tree next to their mother and rest with his tongue lolling out.
"I've accumulated more than two floors this morning, and I'm still a little short of the third kilometer. I'll work hard this afternoon and make sure to complete today's plan of six floors!"
While resting, Cang Nian was making plans.
Meanwhile, Tiger Brother was exhausted and fell asleep under the shade of a tree.
Pa~!
But just as Tiger Brother was taking a deep nap, he was suddenly awakened.
This startled it, and it quickly raised its head and looked around. It was puzzled to find that it was not close to Cang Nian and Tiger Mom.
It wasn't Mom and my brother who hit me!
What it is?
Tiger looked down and noticed a pine cone that had exploded near his paw, so he looked up.
There, on a branch about four or five meters high, a small creature I'd never seen before was pulling at a pine cone with its tiny paws.
However, there are many animals that Tiger Brother has never seen before. Apart from Tiger Mother's prey, he has only ever seen birds and insects that are everywhere.
But when he saw the culprit that had disturbed his nap, Tiger Brother was instantly enraged. So he lowered his body, raised his head, and howled loudly.
Although it couldn't match the volume of Cangnian's roar, which had been upgraded once, Tiger Brother was still larger and had a more powerful chest, making his roar quite imposing.
"What's wrong with Tiger Brother?"
The commotion immediately attracted Cang Nian, who was still resting.
Tiger rarely barks loudly; he only lets out a howl when he's being beaten.
Seeing the furious tiger brother, Cangnian followed its gaze upwards and finally found the target of the tiger brother's howling under the pine trees.
"This... looks like a sable, doesn't it?"
Looking at the slender, smooth-fured little creature, Cang Nian thought with suspicion.
Like the Siberian tiger, this little creature is also a Class I protected animal in China and is quite rare!
"It looks like this jungle has a really good natural environment, with Siberian tigers, Siberian leopards, and sables."
Cang Nian sighed inwardly.
However, judging from its size, its body length is probably only a dozen centimeters, so it is undoubtedly still a minor. No wonder it can only do the work of a squirrel, collecting pine cones from pine trees to eat pine nuts.
Adult sables feed on squirrels and small birds.
At that moment, the sable in the tree seemed to notice the tiger brother howling at it under the shade of the tree. Its small, beady eyes cast its gaze down from the tree, filled with curiosity and puzzlement.
Seeing this, Tiger Brother thought the other party was provoking him, and became even angrier. So angry that he could only crawl slowly, he ran a few steps and came to the pine tree where the sable was. He put his two front paws on the rough bark of the pine tree and was about to climb up.
However, Tiger Brother's limbs were not strong enough, and he was too fat, so he fell flat on his back after climbing just one paw's height.
Zhizhi~!
Seeing this, the sable in the tree squeaked with glee, which made Tiger Brother even angrier.
At this moment, Cang Nian, who was "watching" from the sidelines, suddenly had a bright idea!
