Chapter 13 Tiger Mom's Second Hunt

"It's only been four days since we went out hunting for the first time. Could it be that my tiger brother and I eat too much?"

When Tiger Mom went out hunting again, Cang Nian couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

[I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network →𝐭𝐰𝐤𝐚𝐧.𝐜𝐨𝐦]

But after thinking about it, it seems to be true.

My tiger brother and I were only born nine days ago, but one weighed about three kilograms and the other weighed about six kilograms, which is far beyond the growth rate of ordinary tiger cubs.

And growing up requires nutrition, so both myself and Tiger Brother eat an astonishing amount every day.

As the two little ones grow bigger, their appetite increases day by day.

No wonder Tiger Mom went out hunting for the second time in just over a week.

"Tiger mom goes out hunting at noon, so there shouldn't be many animals that can come to the nest during this time.

But I can't let my guard down. I'll stop exercising now and keep myself in good shape at any time to deal with possible dangers.

Although I don't have much resistance, at least I can keep enough physical strength to run away when I encounter danger!"

Then, Cang Nian thought about it again and made preparations.

So, he lay on the ground with his head facing the cave entrance, opened his eyes wide, and looked outside.

And the tiger brother next to him, seeing that Cang Nian stopped crawling, also lay on the ground, glancing at Cang Nian from time to time to make sure that Cang Nian allowed it to rest, and then he felt relieved.

It followed Cang Nian to exercise for a long time and was beaten a lot. Although it was not smart, it remembered the beatings after all, and now it has a little PTSD.

Hu~咻~Hu~咻~

After a while, Cang Nian heard a long and soothing snoring behind him.

Turning his head, he saw that Tiger Brother had fallen asleep on the ground, drooling from the corners of his mouth, and occasionally opening and closing his mouth, as if he had dreamed of drinking milk.

Seeing this, Cang Nian stood up, walked to Tiger Brother, and raised his right paw.

Snap~!

[Ding~! Swing your paw once, and your skill proficiency in waving your paw +1! (16/100)]

A full-strength swipe of the paw accompanied by a system prompt sound.

Ouch~!

Then, Tiger Brother, who was slapped with a paw, suddenly woke up from his sleep and looked around blankly.

When it saw Cang Nian's familiar face, it suddenly shuddered, and hurriedly crawled on its belly.

This was the stress response that Cang Nian had cultivated for it for half a day. It immediately began to be self-disciplined after being beaten.

However, this was not what Cang Nian wanted now.

So, Cang Nian raised his paw and stretched it towards Tiger Brother.

Seeing Cang Nian raise his claws again, Tiger Brother shrank his head in fear and even closed his eyes, as if this would reduce the pain.

However, the expected pain did not come.

Cang Nian's claws did touch its body, but it was just a strong press, not a slap!

Roar~!

Cang Nian roared, signaling Tiger Brother not to move, and didn't care whether Tiger Brother understood or not.

Tiger Brother, under the suppression of Cang Nian's power, stopped crawling, but still shrank his head and observed Cang Nian's expression, with obvious confusion on his face.

For this different action from before, Tiger Brother, who was still young, didn't understand what it meant.

Seeing Tiger Brother no longer moving around, Cang Nian was relieved.

His meaning was very simple.

Now Tiger Mom went out hunting, although she chose noon specifically, there were few predators running to the nest.

But this does not mean it is necessarily safe.

So, Cang Nian stopped exercising and reduced consumption.

And in order to be alert to possible dangers, Cang Nian also had to ensure that he was awake.

Similarly, Tiger Brother must be awake!

Otherwise, if danger comes and Tiger Brother is still sleeping, even if you wake him up immediately, he will be confused for a while before he knows to run away, just like just now!

Last time, he encountered a fox with low attack power, so Tiger Brother was able to rely on his thick skin and flesh to not suffer too much damage, leaving only a row of tooth marks on his neck.

But next time, or today, if it is a more powerful predator, Tiger Brother's daze may cost it its life!

Therefore, even if he doesn't need to exercise now, he can't let Tiger Brother fall asleep.

However, Tiger Brother can't understand Cang Nian's idea.

Seeing that Cang Nian didn't let him continue to crawl and exercise, Tiger Brother breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyelids began to fight again after a while.

Seeing this, Cang Nian raised his claws again and slapped Tiger Brother.

Aw~!

Then, Tiger Brother woke up from his daze like the first time, and crawled instinctively after a moment of confusion.

And Cang Nian, without getting tired of holding it down, made it stay where it was.

After repeating this for five times, Tiger Brother finally understood what Cang Nian wanted it to do.

So, Tiger Brother lay behind Cang Nian, opened his eyes obediently, and dared not move or close his eyes.

[Ding~! Open eyes for 3 hours, skill proficiency of opening eyes +1! (15/100)]

After repeating this over and over again, the system prompt sound came, which also meant that Tiger Mom had been away for three hours.

Ouch...

Just then, Cang Nian suddenly heard a sound of something passing through the bushes outside.

[Ding~! Listen once, skill proficiency of listening +1! (1/100)]

Then, another new skill was unlocked, but Cang Nian had no time to take care of it, but looked out of the cave with tension all over his body.

Is it an enemy attacking?

But after two seconds, Cang Nian saw two not very big hooves sticking out from the bushes outside the cave.

Then, a familiar black, white and orange color came into view, and it was not blurred in Cang Nian's eyes, who already had a clear field of vision of 20 meters.

It was the tiger mother!

The tiger mother was holding a silly roe deer in her mouth and slowly returned to the den where Cang Nian and the tiger brother were.

Aww~!

It was not until the tiger mother entered the cave that the tiger brother, who had just opened his eyes, saw the tiger mother's appearance clearly. He crawled happily and shouted happily, as if welcoming the tiger mother to return from a successful hunt.

Cang Nian also stood up and came to the tiger mother, shouting.

For the tiger mother who went out hunting in the scorching sun just to feed him, Cang Nian would not be stingy with his respect.

Seeing that her cub was so excited, the tiger mother restrained her fierce momentum a little, and then put the silly roe deer she hunted on the ground.

This silly roe deer is considered large, weighing about 40 kilograms.

However, the net meat that can be eaten directly is estimated to be about 25 kilograms.

After putting down the prey, the tiger mother did not rush to eat, but lay on her side to feed Cang Nian and Tiger Brother.

Seeing this, Tiger Brother excitedly crawled to the front of the tiger mother's abdomen and happily drank milk.

It only took the tiger mother three hours to go out hunting this time, but for the little tiger cub, when he was not sleeping, basically three hours was the time interval between two meals.

Seeing Tiger Brother who was already eating a lot, Cang Nian also hurried over.

He was a little hungry now.
