Chapter 80 Fishing Law Enforcement
“These must be the tracks left by a snake… Thirty centimeters wide, a snake this thick must be at least ten meters long, right?”
Could it be that the snake trail we found in its habitat was left by the same snake?
Seeing this, Cang Nian was filled with surprise and doubt.
Half a month ago, before Tiger Dad and the others were captured by poachers, Cangnian had seen a mark that was clearly left by a snake.
However, the snake trail I saw that time was only ten centimeters wide. Although it was large, it wasn't astonishing.
But now this snake path, thirty centimeters wide, is definitely the work of an evolved giant snake!
What's even more frightening is that this snake might be the same one as before.
That means the snake had followed its family for hundreds of kilometers from their original habitat!
In this process, it may have picked up prey that it killed to improve its skill proficiency but couldn't finish eating.
Or perhaps it hunts other prey itself.
In short, this snake grew from ten centimeters thick to thirty centimeters thick.
This is a huge threat!
Moreover, it's a threat that targets their own family!
It's important to understand that when Cang Nian's family migrated here, they didn't follow a straight line. Instead, they went wherever the path was easiest and the environment was best.
So why did this snake appear in its family's new habitat?
Drop by?
Absolutely impossible!
It must have been tracking its own family all the way here!
What is its purpose?
Cang Nian has never hesitated to speculate on the worst-case scenario regarding the current situation.
Perhaps, when this snake was still relatively weak, it was just picking up food that had fallen on the Cang Nian family's migration route.
But now that it has grown so big, and its family has been in this new habitat for a while, it hasn't left yet...
That undoubtedly meant they had bad intentions towards their own family!
Snakes have extremely flexible muscles and skin.
It's only 30 centimeters wide, and it doesn't even look half as thick as Tiger Dad's massive arm.
However, snakes have excellent flexibility, and when swallowing prey, they can swallow food that is more than three times their own diameter!
This is obviously not enough to devour Tiger Dad, but devouring himself and Tiger Brother is no problem at all!
Huh~?
At this moment, Tiger Brother saw that Cangnian was standing still and hadn't moved, so he came over and tilted his head curiously, looking at the ground that Cangnian was looking at.
Tiger Dad also came over at this moment to check what Cangnian had discovered.
If the younger tiger stops halfway through patrolling the territory, the father tiger will think it's trying to slack off.
But since it's a young age, Tiger Dad isn't worried at all.
Cang Nian has been self-disciplined since childhood, unlike Hu Di, who is a good-for-nothing.
"Ouch~!"
Seeing that Tiger Dad and Tiger Brother had come over, Cangnian recounted his discovery.
After listening to Cangnian's story, Tiger Brother was completely bewildered.
It has never seen a snake before.
In Tiger's little mind, isn't an animal without legs disabled?
How can you walk without legs?
That animal must be very pitiful. It has no legs, can't run, can't catch prey, and can only go hungry. That's why it follows behind its family, picking up the prey that its older brother doesn't want...
Tiger Brother thought so.
Compared to the imaginative and prone to overthinking, the father is far more experienced.
Upon hearing Cangnian's description, Tiger Dad immediately knew that there was a very large snake!
Most animals have a natural fear of snakes; this is a warning etched into their genes through long-term survival and evolution.
Especially in the snowy mountains of Northeast China, the vast majority of snakes encountered are venomous!
When Tiger Dad was a sub-adult, he was bitten by a snake, but the snake's venom wasn't very strong. It paralyzed half of Tiger Dad's body for a while, but it didn't kill him.
But those bizarre and powerful methods still left an indelible mark on Tiger Dad.
In the eyes of the tiger dad, snakes are extremely dangerous!
Although they are not large in size, their toxicity, which ignores differences in size, is extremely terrifying!
The snake path that Cangnian discovered was so wide, it must belong to a large snake!
Although Tiger Dad had never seen such a large snake before, since he himself could grow quite a bit after reaching adulthood and become this big, it was not incomprehensible that the male wild boar could also grow to a massive size of over a ton.
Ouch~!
Immediately, Tiger Dad roared at Cang Nian.
No more patrolling the territory!
We must find that snake!
Tiger Dad was well aware of the dangers of snakes and didn't want such a creature lurking in his family's territory, posing a threat to his family at any time!
If it were a venomous snake, I might be able to withstand it thanks to my large size and strong physique.
But if it were tiger cubs like Cangnian and Hudi, being bitten might mean certain death!
Cang Nian nodded in deep agreement with Tiger Dad's concerns.
"How did we find this snake? There was no special scent left around it. Aren't venomous snakes supposed to smell bad?"
If we rely on the remaining snake trails to search, who knows when we'll find it.
Let me think... I've got it!
Since he needed to catch the snake, Cangnian began to think.
Immediately, an idea popped into his mind.
"Ow~!"
Cang Nian first called out to Tiger Dad and Tiger Brother, then quickly left.
Stay here and do not move!
Seeing this, Tiger Dad and Tiger Brother were quite puzzled, but they still obediently stayed where they were.
A short while later, Cangnian returned.
When he returned, he had a fresh marmot carcass in his mouth.
The small herbivores in the snowy mountains of Northeast China are actually fewer in number than the large herbivores; they are mostly small animals like pheasants, rabbits, and marmots.
Upon seeing this, Tiger Dad's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Cangnian's thoughts!
That's fishing!
Since that snake likes to follow Cangnian and pick up the prey that Cangnian throws away, it probably wouldn't refuse a fresh groundhog!
Immediately, Cangnian found a relatively sturdy tree and placed the groundhog's carcass in a relatively open area under the tree.
"Ow~!"
After doing all this, Cangnian called out to Tiger Dad and Tiger Brother.
Climb the tree!
So, the three tigers—one big and two small—rushed up the tree.
The family of three didn't climb too high, only about five meters before stopping to observe.
And so, we waited quietly for almost half an hour.
Sha sha...
Just then, a rustling sound came from the bushes nearby, and Cang Nian immediately focused his attention on it.
But then, a familiar figure appeared in Cang Nian's field of vision.
It was a large cat with patterns and spots, thick fur, pointed ears, a round face, and a short tail.
It's one of the two lynxes we found yesterday while patrolling the territory!
Like a thief, it cautiously approached the dead groundhog, its large ears swaying from side to side as if on guard against something.
