Chapter 38: Racing with Tiger Mom!
Twenty days after birth.
Today it finally cleared up.
It rained heavily for two days and two nights, and finally stopped.
If it didn't stop, Cang Nian would doubt whether there would be a mudslide and block the cave where the tiger family was.
The rain subsided, and the gloom in the tiger family's heart also faded.
The tiger mother took the two brothers out early in the morning.

It is the thick humus on the soles of the feet and the leaves soaked in rain, which make a crunching sound when stepped on, and the foot feels a little disgusting.
However, after the heavy rain, the whole world seems to be fresher, and the air we breathe is much fresher.
Passing through the bushes and coming to the familiar open space, Cang Nian hurriedly shook off the dew and rain from the bushes before, making himself feel refreshed.
Ao ao~!
At this time, Tiger Brother was howling loudly, looking up to find the little sable.
It was very worried that the little sable would die in the heavy rain. This was the first time Tiger Brother had seen rain since he was born. He thought it was a disaster and very scary!
Squeak~!
Fortunately, after a while, the little sable climbed down from the tree and responded happily.
The little sable climbed onto Tiger Brother's back skillfully and gave it a detailed massage.
Tiger Brother was humming comfortably, asking the little sable if it was afraid of rain.
Squeak~!
The little sable shook its head. Although it was not born long ago, it had experienced several rains.
However, it pointed to the distance and squeaked.
Hearing the sound, Cang Nian looked in the direction pointed by the little sable's paw, and saw a mountain about dozens of kilometers away, with dark brown soil exposed from the middle of the mountain...
Seeing this, Tiger Brother was stunned.
It knew that it was a very big place, much larger than the range of its own activities. As a result, the lush jungle that was originally as lush as this one was gone, leaving only the abrupt soil and boulders!
And Cang Nian was also shocked.
"Damn... there was really a mudslide. Fortunately, it didn't happen on our side, otherwise, we couldn't escape at all..."
Looking at the landslide that buried a large area of ββjungle, Cang Nian was both frightened and grateful.
At the same time, his complacency after jogging evolved into running was completely gone.
In front of the mighty power of nature, his pride was too insignificant and ridiculous.
"There should be many animals buried there, wiped out by irresistible forces."
Then, Cang Nian mourned for the dead creatures over there for a moment.
Having been reborn as a tiger, he could empathize with the animals even more, because he was now a member of the wild animals.
However, after looking at the terrain, even if the mountain over there was still loose, it should not affect here, so Cang Nian quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he tried to run at full speed!
Whoosh--! ! !
He was like an orange flash, galloping on the grass!
Although the rain left on the grass leaves by the heavy rain would affect his speed, his speed was still very fast!
Seeing this, Tiger Mom couldn't help but stand up and chase Cang Nian!
And this, Cang Nian caught it with his peripheral vision.
So, Cang Nian waited for Tiger Mom for a while, so that Tiger Mom and he were at the same starting line.
Then, he no longer had any reservations and used his body to the extreme, whether it was breathing or heartbeat, or the running posture of his limbs, or the frequency of his steps, they were all in a perfect state!
Whoosh--! ! !
His speed climbed again, making Tiger Mom, who had just surpassed him, fall behind instantly!
Seeing this, Tiger Mom also put all her strength into running at full speed!
It didn't want to be outdone by its cub, which was not even a month old!
This forced it to overtake by two positions, but it couldn't maintain its top speed for many seconds. It only led for less than ten seconds before Cang Nian overtook it again!
After that, the gap between Tiger Mom and Cang Nian could only widen.
Tigers never exercise their endurance.
Hunting is just a matter of a moment. If you can hunt prey, you can get the result within ten seconds. If you can't hunt prey, it will only waste precious energy if you chase it.
If Tiger Mom hadn't just eaten the corpse of the Siberian leopard, she would not have had the sudden idea to race with Cang Nian.
But the result was too depressing for the tiger...
She was completely beaten by the cub that was not even a month old!
Tiger Mom stuck out her tongue, panted, and stopped where she was, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
At this moment, Cang Nian also stopped panting.
Just now was already his top speed.
Tigers are born with poor endurance, and he is no exception. It is only because of the training these days that he is stronger than ordinary tigers in this respect for a few seconds, which is why he can beat Tiger Mom.
However, if we really talk about hunting, Tiger Mom's two body positions ahead of him in the first few seconds may increase the probability of successful hunting by 10% or 20%.
So, strictly speaking, Tiger Mom's explosive speed is more practical.
But Cang Nian is already very satisfied to be able to compete with Tiger Mom in speed.
He is less than a month old!
Tiger Mom's speed should be considered powerful among tigers, and the maximum speed should be about 20 meters per second.
Although this speed cannot be maintained for a few seconds, I can be proud of myself for being able to keep up with this speed.
Then, the somewhat autistic tiger mother simply lay down on the spot to rest, and Cang Nian was also ready to take a breather.
Extreme sprinting is more strenuous than jogging for one thousand meters!
However, at my current speed, even if I slow down to maintain long-distance running, jogging one thousand meters will only take two or three minutes.
Ten minutes later, Cang Nian got up and was about to start jogging to accumulate proficiency in his running skills, but he saw Tiger Mother's ears suddenly stand up.
Then, the tiger mother's nose twitched a few times, then stood up suddenly and looked at the dense forest on the other side of the stream.
At this time, the water level of the creek had risen a lot due to two days of heavy rain, and its width had also changed from three to four meters before to a full eight meters wide.
The breeze blew from the other side, and Cang Nian imitated the tiger mother and twitched the tip of his nose twice, trying to smell some unusual smell in the wind.
It was okay if he didn't smell it, but when he smelled it, he immediately realized something was wrong.
In the air...
It has a familiar yet unfamiliar taste!
The familiarity lies in the fact that this smell is similar to the smell of myself, Brother Tiger, and Mother Tiger. It is the smell of a tiger!
The strange thing is that this smell does not belong to anyone in the family!
Moreover, the taste is strong and full of male hormones!
At this time, the tiger mother's body was lowered, her ears were flattened into airplane ears, her teeth were clenched, her lips were turned up, revealing ferocious sharp teeth, and there was a fierce look in her eyes!
Hey~!
In the dark jungle on the other side of the stream, a chirping sound came, and a huge figure walked out of the shadows. Its thick forelimbs, chin-shaped face, and lustful eyes exuded greed.
This is a beautiful tiger!
roar--! ! !
Seeing this, the tiger mother turned her head, looked at Cang Nian, let out a loud roar, and then rushed towards the tiger on the other side!
