Chapter 20 Tiger Mom's Tree Climbing Demonstration

"That's right! Why did I forget to climb the tree? This is the best way to protect yourself before you have strong combat power!"

Cang Nian patted his head with his paw and sighed secretly.

Climbing trees is a relatively common ability in nature.

But it is also the best way for many animals to protect themselves from predators.

For example, many fables and jokes include examples of climbing trees when encountering a bear.

Although the actual situation of encountering a bear is that there is a high probability that a person cannot climb a bear when climbing a tree, and bears are good tree climbers.

However, if you can really surpass a bear in climbing a tree, then it is indeed possible to protect yourself.

After all, people who can climb trees generally weigh much less than bears. If they climb onto a branch of suitable thickness, the bear will not dare to climb up. If the stalemate lasts long enough, and the bear loses patience or waits for someone else to rescue him, then he can still survive. possible.

The same goes for Cang Nian's expectations for tree climbing skills.

His target does not need to be able to climb trees. As long as he cannot climb as fast as him and weighs much more than himself, then if he steps on a branch that is thin but can support him, the other party will not dare to catch him unless he The other party can fight together and risk falling from the tall tree.

Therefore, tree climbing is undoubtedly a very practical skill!

Thinking like this, Cang Nian felt that he was almost rested, so he walked briskly to Brother Hu.

Seeing his brother coming, Brother Tiger quickly pointed his paw at the sable on the tree, humming in his mouth, as if he was accusing the other person.

In response, Cang Nian could only pat Brother Tiger on the head with his paw, telling him to calm down.

Then, Cang Nian put his two front paws on the straight trunk of the pine tree and felt the grip.

Then, his front paws climbed up step by step, and his back paws lifted off the ground, but subconsciously he spread his legs apart, leaving the paw pads hanging in the air.

After trying twice, he found that he couldn't move up like this.

Immediately, he jumped down again.

"No, I have to change human beings' inertial thinking. The way humans climb trees is not suitable for the tiger's body structure."

After the first failure, Cang Nian quickly concluded the reason for his failure.

In his previous life, he had climbed trees as a child. However, due to the human body structure, climbing trees involves clamping the trunk with both legs, loosening and clamping, and climbing up in coordination with the hands and feet.

But tigers are different. Tigers don't have the flexible legs of humans, and they don't have particularly strong adductor muscles. They can't do the leg-clamping action. This action can only get the eggs stuck in the tiger's body.

"But how does a tiger climb a tree?"

Cang Nian had a headache and tried to recall whether there were any clips of tigers climbing trees in the documentaries he had watched in his previous life.

Roar~!

At this time, a low roar came from behind the two brothers.

Turning around, I saw Tiger Mother walking towards here gracefully.

Then, without any warning, the tiger mother rushed forward in two steps, and in the blink of an eye, she ran up to a height of four or five meters in the pine tree, and stopped in front of the little sable.

This move shocked Cang Nian and made Brother Hu shake his head happily.

As for the little sable, it was trembling with fear.

Done!

I provoked the little guy and called the parents!

Squeak~!

My life is at an end~!

The little sable felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar, and did not dare to move.

However, what he didn't expect was that the tiger mother, whose tiger face was already on its head, didn't do anything to it. She just twitched the tip of her nose twice, then showed an expression of disgust, then turned around and fell lightly from the tree.

Squeak~!

Seeing this, the little sable's whole body went limp and almost fell off the tree. It quickly hugged the branches with lingering fear.

Fortunately, I smell bad, otherwise I would be dead today!

Roar~!

Tiger Mother, who landed smoothly, roared under the adoring gazes of Cang Nian and Tiger Brother, raised her head, and signaled for the brothers to try it too.

Seeing that Cang Nian likes to exercise so much, the tiger mother also wanted to teach various skills, so she performed hunting in front of the two little ones. Now she saw the two little ones trying to climb a tree but couldn't do it, so she came over to demonstrate.

As for the little sable...

It's such a little thing, it doesn't have a few ounces of meat, and it still smells bad, so it's not on its diet.

Moreover, it has just eaten, so it is not so hungry.

Besides...

Big Zai Zai is very lazy. For the first time, he is thinking hard about what to do because of his anger. He cannot kill his motivation to fight!

Keep it for the big sable to play with until it can climb the tree and catch the little sable. Then it will kill or eat it, whatever it is.

This is what a tiger mother thinks!

Here, Cang Nian was recalling the posture of Tiger Mother when she climbed the tree.

"That's it! Tigers are digitated animals, and their claws can bend at large angles. Therefore, when a tiger climbs a tree, all four claws are attached to the trunk, just like walking on the trunk..."

Cang Nian suddenly realized.

With the standard demonstration, Cang Nian couldn't wait to try climbing a tree using standard movements. So he imitated the tiger mother's movements, trotted towards the tree trunk, jumped on the tree trunk with a vertical leap!

【Ding~! Jump once, jump skill proficiency +1! (1/100)]

At this moment, a system prompt sounded, causing Cang Nian to lose his balance and fall from the tree trunk.

Fortunately, the height of his jump was not high, and it didn't hurt much if he fell.

"Unexpectedly, I never thought about training my jumping ability before, but that's the case. Before I unlocked the jogging skill, my limb strength did not support jumping at all..."

Cang Nian shook his head and shook off the fallen weeds and leaves stuck to his hair, then adjusted his condition and continued to try.

Then, he took a running approach and jumped again!

【Ding~! Jump once, jump skill proficiency +1! (2/100)]

This time, he was not disturbed by the system beep. His four claws instinctively popped out the claw blades and firmly fixed himself on the tree trunk!

Feeling the solid figure, Cang Nian took a deep breath, then boldly released his right front paw, climbed up a step, and then quickly fixed it with the claw blade!

"Okay! Keep going!"

It was still very stable after climbing, and Cang Nian became more confident. Then he followed the tiger's walking habit, raised his left hind paw, climbed up a step, and then quickly fixed it with the claw blade!

Left front paw, right rear paw, right front paw, left rear paw...

Step after step, Cang Nian climbed more and more steadily, became more courageous, let go of his restraint, and climbed faster step by step!

【Ding~! Climb 1m, climbing skill proficiency +1! (1/100)]

After crawling for a while, a system prompt sounded, which made Cang Nian couldn't help but smile.

"Sure enough, climbing trees can also be regarded as a skill, and it seems that it is not difficult to master this skill..."

Seeing this, Cang Nian was overjoyed.

Compared with the jogging skill, which is still difficult to change qualitatively, it seems that the jumping skill just acquired and the current climbing skill are more cost-effective!

Cang Nian was calculating in his mind.

Ouch~!

At this time, an excited roar came from below. Cang Nian looked down and saw that Brother Tiger was showing off his power to the little sable!

It seems to say - look! My brother is here to catch you!
