Chapter 66 Savage Collision!
Patrolling the territory should be a rather tedious job.
However, since this is new territory, the tigers are quite happy to see large groups of prey gathered together from time to time, so they don't find it boring.
After all, the number of prey determines whether a tiger family can eat its fill. With ample prey, their future life will certainly not be bad.
In addition, the prey species here are not limited to one type; there are all kinds of deer, and they live in groups of considerable numbers.
"Perhaps, the previous apex predators were captured, and the lack of hunting by apex predators for a long time has led to an overpopulation of large herbivores here, which has caused some ecological imbalance."
During his tour of the territory, Cangnian noticed a lot of information.
The most obvious thing is that there are a lot of large herbivores here.
In addition, the density of shrubs and herbaceous plants in the dense forest here is far less than in the previous habitat.
Clearly, without apex predators to limit the number of herbivores, these animals were able to multiply rapidly and devour the vegetation in the area.
Animals don't have such complex ideas as controlling their reproduction.
Ample food and a safe external environment mean an increase in population size.
Cangnian saw that there were quite a few small deer, each about half a meter tall, following the herd.
Undoubtedly, without the presence of tigers, the survival rate of these large herbivores, even their cubs, is much higher.
If this continues, the vegetation in this area will be completely eaten away until there is not enough food for these herbivores, at which point they will be forced to migrate to other places.
They won't split off a portion of their population to live elsewhere before the situation gets out of control.
After all, who would want to leave such a habitat without natural predators?
For herbivores, migrating to an unknown new place is far more dangerous than for carnivores.
"However, with our family here, the herbivores can be kept under control."
The father tiger is far larger than other wild male tigers, and the mother tiger is also the largest among female tigers.
There's also my brother, Tiger, who has an astonishing appetite, and me, who's still growing.
"When Tiger Brother and I grow up, our combined appetites will likely cause serious damage to the ecosystem here."
Cang Nian pondered to himself.
However, he was not too worried.
As I grow up, my athletic and hunting abilities will inevitably improve significantly.
If you keep going downstream along the river and go as far as you can, you're sure to find plenty of food.
Ouch~!
Just then, Cangnian heard Tiger Brother's cry from the side.
Upon hearing this sound, not only Cang Nian, but also Tiger Dad and Tiger Mom turned to look.
Suddenly, Tiger Brother found himself several hundred meters away.
Cang Nian rushed over, only to find that Tiger Brother wasn't asking for help.
Seeing that Cang Nian was coming, Tiger Brother raised his paw and pointed to the bushes in front of him.
Cang Nian looked over.
There were a dozen or so small creatures, each weighing less than three kilograms, shaped like spindles, with fur like melon seeds, shivering under the bushes.
"A little wild boar?"
Seeing these little things, Cangnian asked in confusion.
Speaking of which, he has hunted quite a few small animals since migrating from his original habitat to this place.
But until now, from the moment I opened my eyes, I have never seen a wild boar.
I never expected to see it here.
Ouch~!
Just as Cangnian was pondering, Tiger Brother couldn't wait to bark.
I've never seen this before!
want to eat!
"Tiger Brother really doesn't learn from his mistakes!"
Seeing Tiger Brother's familiar behavior, Cang Nian was utterly speechless.
I just got a fishbone stuck in my throat not long ago, have I completely forgotten about it?
However, wild boars don't get injured while eating fish.
"Ow~!"
At this moment, Cang Nian cried out.
Want some?
Then catch it yourself!
You expect me to do this to such a tiny wild boar?
Cang Nian wished he could raise his paws and give Tiger Brother a couple of whacks.
It's really been spoiled rotten.
Tiger Brother can't catch the prey himself, so he'll just ask him for help.
Why does he have to lift a finger to handle something that weighs less than three kilograms?
It's a waste that I've grown so big!
Huh~?
Upon hearing Cangnian's words, Tiger Brother tilted his head and his eyes lit up.
Yup!
I can handle something this small myself!
I used to be able to catch fish all by myself!
These little things on the ground will definitely be fine!
Thinking of this, Tiger Brother's expression grew even more greedy as he stepped towards the group of wild boars.
Chirp!
Chirp!
When the little wild boars saw Tiger Brother, such a "huge creature," walking towards them, they screamed loudly in fear.
The screams were heart-wrenching, like a pig being slaughtered.
dong dong dong...
Just then, Cangnian suddenly felt the ground trembling, and the trembling became more and more violent.
Without a second thought, Cang Nian instantly transformed from extreme stillness to extreme motion, moving so fast that he left afterimages, and smashed Hu Di away!
boom--! ! !
A tremendous tremor shook the area, and Cang Nian heard a crisp sound coming from the tree trunk, which was as thick as a person's waist.
hold head high--! ! !
Tiger Brother was knocked dizzy by Cangnian's collision, but Cangnian did not falter.
Turning his head, he saw a wall blocking his way, and a huge wild boar, its head thrashing against a tree, looking dizzy.
But this guy was tough enough that after a short while, he had already adjusted his state. His small, scarlet eyes were full of irritability and anger as he looked at Cangnian and Hudi!
Then, its short, stubby hooves rubbed against the ground.
This is aiming and charging!
Dong Dong Dong——! ! !
A violent tremor shook the ground, and the enormous wild boar charged again, heading straight for Cangnian and Hudi!
It's like a tank of flesh and blood, with the momentum to crush everything!
boom--! ! !
But just as Tiger Brother's legs went weak and Cangnian hurriedly pushed Tiger Brother away, a huge tremor came!
This wasn't a wild boar that bumped into Cangnian and Hudi!
It was the sound of Tiger Dad rushing over and knocking the wild boar away!
But what's scary is that even after being knocked away by the tiger father, the wild boar did not lose its fighting ability, and it didn't even have the slightest bit of anger.
Only then could Cang Nian truly realize how big this wild boar was!
Although not as long as the tiger father, wild boars are naturally short and stocky.
Even though he was a little shorter than Tiger Dad at the shoulder, Cang Nian estimated that the wild boar in front of him was definitely over 400 kilograms!
This is an opponent in the same class as the previous grizzly bear!
Although wild boars don't have the same ability as brown bears to raise their forelimbs, they are still quite agile in their attack methods.
But the wild boar had mastered two attributes and one skill to the extreme!
One attribute is strength!
One attribute is defense!
The skill honed to its ultimate form is the Savage Charge!
Given the same size, no creature can withstand a wild boar's brutal charge head-on without getting injured!
Compared to tigers and brown bears, wild boars are less balanced, but they excel in their own strengths!
