Chapter 28 You're telling me this is a tiger cub?
The agile movements of the old man stunned the Northeast Leopard.
Is this a one-month-old tiger cub? Does it have the agility one would expect?
According to the Northeast Leopard, Cang Nian should be about one month old, and Hu Di should be almost three months old.
However, it didn't hesitate for long. The next second, it instinctively scrambled up the tree and chased after the old tree!
But what shocked it even more was how fast the little thing darted up; in just a moment of hesitation, it shot up two or three meters!
So it hurriedly chased after it, and was carried by the old man to ever greater heights!
Seeing this, Cang Nian, though tense, smiled slightly.
This is exactly the effect he wanted!
Given how fast Tiger Brother climbs trees, if I don't keep the Siberian Leopard occupied, it will definitely be caught!
The bite force of the Amur leopard is far superior to that of the fox that once darted into the tiger's den.
Previously, Tiger Brother was able to withstand the fox's bites thanks to his thick skin, but this time it won't work!
That creature can kill a 70-kilogram adult sika deer!
Given Tiger's weight, even if Cang Nian could escape just as fast, the Amur leopard would definitely choose Tiger.
There's no way around it, it's got lots of meat, it just looks so tempting.
Therefore, Cangnian must intervene to restrain the Northeast Leopard, otherwise Tiger Brother will surely die!
However, Cangnian wasn't acting on impulse, thinking he could exchange his own life for Hudi's.
Even though Cangnian has developed deep feelings for Tiger Brother after spending time together, to be honest, he is not yet at the point where he would give his life to protect it.
Cangnian had the confidence to choose to lure the Siberian leopard!
And the source of his confidence is his current tree-climbing speed!
Even Tiger Mom's current tree-climbing speed might not be much faster than Cang Nian's!
This Amur leopard is far from being as physically fit as an adult tiger. Even if it is agile and strong, it is impossible for it to be faster than the mother tiger!
Sure enough, Cangnian darted up more than ten meters in a flash, while the Northeast Leopard could only lag behind, unable to get close to Cangnian.
However, the height of pine trees is ultimately limited. The average height of the pine trees in this dense forest is only about 20 meters, and even the oldest person cannot climb the top section.
So he turned around and darted onto a tree branch.
A few seconds later, the Amur leopard also climbed over here, looking at Cang Nian with a fierce gaze.
However, it tried to reach the old man with its paw, but it was about half a meter short.
Then, it adjusted its posture and tried to walk over, but as soon as it stepped on a branch, it withdrew its paw.
The branches are too thin to support a small animal like Cang Nian. This Amur leopard must be one of the largest individuals in its species, weighing over 100 kilograms.
These slender branches could not withstand its destructive power.
Seeing this, Cangnian imitated the little sable, wiggling his butt and wagging his tail to provoke the other party.
The Amur leopard was naturally furious, but it was powerless against the old man and could only watch helplessly.
“Ouch——!!!”
Having confirmed his temporary safety, Cang Nian opened his mouth and roared loudly!
The howling sound contained a cry for help.
The howling skill, which has also undergone a second evolution, is extremely effective. Although Cang Nian's voice is still immature, its loudness and reach are undiminished!
A sound at that height could easily travel three or four kilometers!
Upon seeing this, the Amur leopard panicked.
To protect her cubs, the tiger mother won't hunt too far!
With such a loud howl, the other side will definitely hear it!
At the speed of an adult Siberian tiger, a distance of one or two kilometers is only a matter of minutes!
Thinking of this, the Amur Leopard was already considering retreating.
It resents the tiger mother for stealing its prey, but it dares not directly challenge the queen of the jungle!
It wants revenge, but it doesn't want to risk its own life!
Otherwise, it could have just rushed out and killed the two brothers, Cangnian and Hudi, while they were running and exercising in the open space.
But if I did that, the tiger mom who was watching over me would definitely catch me!
The creature, which had been tracking the tiger cubs for four days before making its move, aimed to kill the two cubs while keeping the mother tiger completely unaware of who the killer was.
Now, with the attack failing and the cries of the old man so loud, Tiger Mom will surely arrive soon.
No more hesitation!
Thinking of this, the Northeast Leopard knew it had to leave, or it would surely die.
But the thought of being completely outmaneuvered by such a small creature as Cangnian filled it with resentment.
At that moment, a flash of inspiration struck it, and everything became clear!
Then, the Amur leopard placed one paw on the branch where Cang Nian was, gradually pressing its weight down on him...
Its goal was to kill the two tiger cubs, so that the mother tiger who stole its prey would feel heartbroken and regretful!
If that's the case, there's no need to capture them alive!
It's so high up here, wouldn't it be wonderful if this little thing just fell to its death?
Upon seeing this, Cang Nian immediately understood its intention!
Click~!
The next second, the tree branch snapped with a crack under the weight of the Amur leopard, and Cang Nian, having nowhere to hold on, fell downwards.
But Cang Nian, having foreseen the Northeast Leopard's intentions, prepared in advance, leaped into the air, adjusted his posture, and landed lightly on the next branch!
This requires a good sense of balance, but climbing trees can naturally train this ability. Therefore, such an action is indeed somewhat difficult for the elderly, but it is still achievable.
Upon seeing this, the Amur leopard was dumbfounded.
You're telling me this is a tiger cub?
You're telling me this is a tiger cub that hasn't been weaned yet?
But Cang Nianxiu's move also broke the Northeast Leopard's defenses, and it quickly came down a layer and used its strength to break the tree branch again!
And since Cang Nian succeeded the first time, he naturally wouldn't fail the second time. He jumped down again and successfully landed on a branch on the next lower level.
The Amur leopard had lost its mind; it descended another level and forcefully snapped off a tree branch!
The old man leaped up again, landing on an even lower level!
Pa~!
On its fourth attempt to break the tree branch, the Amur leopard failed, without even making a creaking sound.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that during their struggle, the tiger and leopard had risen from near the treetop to a height of about ten meters. The tree branches here were quite thick and strong enough to support the weight of the Siberian leopard!
Seeing this, the Amur leopard revealed a cruel smile, placed its paws on the tree branch, and walked towards the old man who was close to the end of the branch.
Cangnian was prepared, and with a leap, he jumped towards a nearby pine tree!
Bang~!
The effort he had put into repeatedly climbing trees had finally paid off. Cang Nian successfully clung to a nearby tree trunk and turned around to make a face at the Northeast Leopard.
This completely broke the Northeast Leopard's defenses, and it turned and charged towards the foot of the tree!
Its weight is not enough to jump from a tree; if it's not careful, it won't be the old tree that falls to its death, but itself.
Sizzle—!!!
But the next second, a piercing sound came from the tree trunk.
Cang Nian took one look and laughed.
That was the sound of a Siberian leopard suddenly braking as it descended from the tree.
The reason it was forced to stop was a pair of furious eyes.
It turns out that while she was entangled with Cangnian, Tiger Mom had just arrived and was blocking the Siberian Leopard's path under the tree!
