Chapter 48 A Sudden Crisis!
"Why does it seem like... the grass has grown taller? Is it because of the rain?"
After running all morning, Cangnian had raised his running skill proficiency to level 20.
However, the grass on the ground was taller, which somewhat affected his ability to run.
"Perhaps evolution is becoming more widespread? Could it be a resurgence of spiritual energy?"
This subtle yet rather unusual phenomenon sparked Cang Nian's divergent thinking.
But after a moment's thought, Cangnian put those ideas out of his mind.
Regardless of whether there is a spiritual revival or not, and regardless of whether such changes will become more drastic in the future.
Just focus on training and getting stronger.
By continuously strengthening ourselves, we can face the future with greater confidence, no matter how bizarre or strange it may become.
Back under the shade of the tree, Tiger Brother had already run ahead to eat the evolved meat of the elk.
This made Cangnian quite envious. Tiger Brother's exercise level was far less than his own, but he had the ability to get hungry after exercising for half a day. That was amazing.
If I could have a digestive speed as fast as Tiger Brother, my growth rate would be much faster.
In order to improve his digestive skills as quickly as possible, Cangnian would go forward to eat even when he wasn't very hungry, trying to keep himself full as much as possible.
However, the tiger dad next to him also opened his eyes at this moment.
Having not slept all night, Tiger Dad could only catch a few hours of sleep while his two sons were exercising.
However, the battle-hardened tiger dad has long since mastered the ability to fall into a deep sleep at any time. Even less than five hours of sleep makes it energetic again!
In fact, tigers are nocturnal animals. It's just that the tiger father had a lot of exercise yesterday and was quite tired, which is why he was so exhausted.
But seeing his two cubs back by his side, the tiger father patiently waited for the two brothers to finish eating.
After Cangnian and Tiger Brother finished eating, Tiger Dad went over and wanted to play with the two little ones.
It wants to quickly build a relationship with the two little ones and get to know each other better.
Only then can the tiger mom feel at ease and let it come home to sleep with her!
Although tigers are naturally inclined to raise their cubs alone, even if the male tiger has some responsibility to raise them, he only takes the prey he has hunted to the vicinity of his mate and then leaves, without participating in the growth of the cubs.
But the tiger father, who has evolved and whose intelligence far surpasses that of ordinary tigers, does not think so.
Sleeping with my wife and watching my child grow up, isn't that wonderful?
It's not like it can't afford to support a whole family of tigers!
With its hunting skills, it can catch its prey with ease!
Cangnian was not averse to this.
Firstly, the presence of a "tiger dad" provides an extra layer of protection for one's safety.
Given the ecological structure of the Northeast Snow Mountains, the only threats to Tiger Dad here, besides humans, are probably very large adult brown bears.
Of course, if there are other adult evolved tigers like Tiger Dad, they could also pose a threat to him.
However, compared to the Siberian tiger, which has only a few hundred individuals worldwide, brown bears are far more numerous, and the chances of encountering one are much greater.
Therefore, the long-term companionship of a "tiger dad" represents the ultimate sense of security one feels before growing up.
Secondly, the emotions between animals are very pure, especially kinship.
In her past life, Cang Nian was an orphan. She was attached to her mother's meticulous maternal love and felt that her father's love, which was sometimes reliable and sometimes childish, was not bad either.
After playing with Tiger Dad for a while, Cangnian disappeared back into the dense forest to hunt for prey.
The kill skill has evolved into a killing skill, and this upgrade is comprehensive!
Therefore, it is evident that the killing skills have evolved once again, and the improvement should be comprehensive!
Therefore, upgrading this skill is very cost-effective!
I figured it out yesterday: prey weighing over one kilogram is enough for the system to determine that it is a successful kill target, so I'll try it more today!
However, after searching around, Cangnian couldn't find a single prey that met his criteria.
In the Northeast Snow Mountains region, apart from the small animals that can be seen everywhere, most of the other animals are quite large.
There are only a few common types of prey that weigh more than one kilogram but not more than ten kilograms.
There are several kinds of pheasants, marmots, and raccoon dogs, that's all.
Oh, and there's a sable.
However, the sable is even rarer than the Siberian tiger.
It's not easy to even see one, let alone a second one in an area, let alone hunt it.
However, as he wandered around, Cangnian arrived at the spot where he had left the pheasant after hunting it the day before.
"Sure enough, there was plenty of prey, and it was fresh. Even if it were dead, there would be plenty of animals to pick it up and eat it. I just wonder what kind of animal picked it up and ate it so cleanly!"
Looking at the spotless ground, not a single hair left, Cang Nian clicked his tongue in amazement.
With that in mind, he began to look for any fresh traces around him, trying to find the animal that had eaten the pheasant.
However, he didn't act rashly, since an animal that could eat a pheasant must be quite large.
It's fine to look around; his speed is enough to satisfy his curiosity without encountering any danger.
But if it comes to hunting the opponent, Cangnian probably won't stand a chance.
After searching for a while, Cangnian actually found some clues.
On the ground covered with humus, Cangnian found a fresh imprint that looked winding and about ten centimeters wide!
"Wait... this mark, could it be from a snake? A snake that thick?"
Upon seeing this, Cang Nian shrank back, his scalp tingling.
The fear of snakes is ingrained in the bones of both humans and tigers.
Even an adult tiger can die instantly if injected with a sufficient amount of venom from a highly venomous snake!
Bang bang bang——!!!
Just as Cangnian was about to stop exploring and retreat, three crisp sounds came from the open space!
"What is this sound?"
A question flashed through Cang Nian's mind, followed by the terrified cry of the little sable.
Zhizhi~!
Zhizhi~!
Realizing that things were not so simple, Cang Nian ran towards Tiger Dad and Tiger Mom without hesitation!
"Wow! This tiger is huge! It must weigh over 600 pounds!"
"We've hit the jackpot! Three tigers, two big and one small, they should fetch at least three million, right?"
"Three million? This big guy alone is worth three million! If the little guy is sold overseas, those rich people will easily offer a million or less!"
"Hahaha! This anesthetic is really potent; it only took a minute to take down this big guy!"
"Come on, give it a push! This thing's filthy heavy! After this heist, we can all retire! We can go abroad and have some fun! What's the point of being human traffickers? It's beneath us!"
"Big brother's right! Let's go abroad and have some fun!"
……
Approaching the edge of the dense forest, Cangnian slowed his pace, listening to the sounds under the shade of the trees, gritting his teeth.
They are poachers!
