Chapter 4 Tiger Mom is Hungry

【Ding~! Sleep for 12 hours, sleep skill proficiency +4! (4/100)]

As soon as he woke up the next day, a system notification sounded in Cang Nian's mind.

With the previous precedent that pooping and peeing were considered skills, he was not surprised that sleeping was also considered a skill.

"Even if one level of proficiency is calculated every three hours, the speed at which sleep skills gain proficiency should be about the same as drinking milk. I just don't know what effect it will have if it is improved? Could it be that the quality of sleep is higher?"

Cang Nian did some calculations, and then habitually thought about what the new skills could be used for.

Gululu...

However, at this time, there was an obvious gurgling sound in his abdomen, letting him know that he was hungry again.

This is normal. Not to mention that as a tiger cub, I am already growing. Even when I was a human in my previous life, I would wake up hungry and constipated after sleeping for twelve hours.

So, without thinking, he approached the tiger mother, picked up the "pacifier" and sucked hard.

【Ding~! Drink 100ml of milk, milk drinking skill proficiency +1! (4/100)]

Because I drank milk once before going to bed last night, Cang Nian’s milk drinking skill proficiency has now reached [4/100].

At this time, the brothers/sisters on the side seemed to be awakened by the sound of Cang Nian sucking milk. They stood up with a groan and moved to the side to suck hard.

Cang Nian did not stop after drinking a total of 400ml and continued to suck.

After drinking milk several times, his food limit is increasing. Although the extent is not very obvious, it is more and more. Cumulatively, after reaching a total of 400ml, he drank almost 50ml before stopping.

Then, after eating and drinking enough, Cang Nian continued to be self-disciplined.

The day's plan begins in the morning. You must seize every minute and every second in the early stages of growth to make yourself stronger.

Otherwise, given that her frail little body was much smaller than her brothers/sisters when she was born, what should the tiger mother do if she feels that she can no longer support herself and abandons her?

He is just a little tiger cub now. Without the protection of the tiger mother, he will definitely die!

Therefore, he must be self-disciplined! He wants to exercise!

Only by becoming stronger can we survive safely in the dangerous jungle!

Thinking like this, Cang Nian felt full of motivation and continued to crawl.

After a night's rest, and the fact that his crawling skill proficiency had reached [10/100] before, he now climbed up more powerfully and became much more stable.

At this time, the sibling tiger cub on the side had also eaten its fill. However, because it was just one day old and it was still too early to open its eyes, it was not aware of what Cang Nian was doing.

Newly born tiger cubs do not think about the significance of changes in sounds, smells, and lights around them.

Therefore, it just ate and drank enough, then lay down where it was and fell asleep soundly.

Tigers are animals with great sleep needs. Adult tigers sleep or doze for fourteen to sixteen hours a day, while tiger cubs have even greater sleep needs and sleep for twenty hours a day.

"Ugh~?"

Therefore, the tiger mother was a little confused when she saw Cang Nian crawling around after eating milk.

This little brat is so active!

However, it is a good thing that the tiger cub can move. When Cang Nian was born yesterday, the tiger mother saw that the baby was obviously much smaller than the first tiger cub, and she was worried that he would die in infancy.

Looking at it now, since it can eat and crawl, it’s not a big problem!

As long as they don't crawl out of the burrow, the tiger mother won't interfere.

Last night, it was because Cang Nian was too excited to crawl and didn't pay attention to the direction and had climbed to the edge of the cave entrance that the tiger mother went to pick him back up.

Gululu...

At this time, there was a gurgling sound from the tiger mother's belly, which made Cang Nian couldn't help but look back.

However, with his blindfolded eyes, he could only see red and white through a little light, and could not see the situation clearly.

But the growling sound of Tiger Mother's stomach made him worried.

"Tiger mother is hungry? That's right. Although it is not as difficult for tigers to give birth as it is for humans, they cannot hunt for three days before giving birth. They should not eat for four or five days now.

If I remember correctly, tigers in the wild usually eat once a week, but their hunting success rate is only 30 to 50 percent. It is impossible to wait until they are hungry before trying to hunt.

If the tiger mother doesn't go hunting now, she will miss her best physical condition. If she fails twice, she will completely lose the possibility of successful hunting..."

Cang Nian thought worriedly.

There is no doubt that Tiger Mom needs to eat now!

If they don't eat, the mother and her son will starve to death together!

But now, I am only one day old. Not to mention my ability to protect myself, I have not even opened my eyes. If any slightly larger predator invades the tiger's den, I will definitely die!

In the wild, there are too many such animals...

Foxes, wolves, mountain cats, leopards, wild boars...

These carnivores or omnivores can only whimper and run away in front of adult tigers, but they can easily kill tiger cubs like themselves!

Moreover, these animals all have the same reasons for killing tiger cubs.

Although tigers generally do not hunt predators, their existence itself is a plunder of resources in an area.

Compared with other carnivores, tigers are larger and require more nutrients. If there are tigers in an area, there will be significantly less food for other carnivores to hunt.

So, it is the consensus of these carnivores to strangle the tiger cubs in the cradle!

Thinking of this, Cang Nian was already scared.

As long as the tiger mother left the tiger den to hunt, the two brothers would have no shelter. Any medium-sized or larger carnivore that came in from outside would be a fatal blow!

But he couldn't stop the tiger mother from hunting, otherwise the tiger mother would become more and more hungry and weak, and the mother and the three would die!

What's more, how could he stop the tiger mother from hunting now?

Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, and under the vision of blindfolded eyes, Cang Nian had already seen that the huge body of the tiger mother had stood up.

Sure enough, the tiger mother was going to hunt!

But then, Cang Nian was stunned.

The tiger mother did not walk out of the cave in the direction of the light!

Listening to its imperceptible footsteps, it was actually walking towards the inside of the cave!

After walking a few steps, the tiger mother stopped, and then Cang Nian heard a splash of water.

"Huh... So it's drinking water..."

Cangnian breathed a sigh of relief, but not completely relaxed.

Although Tiger Mom is drinking water now, it doesn't mean that she won't go hunting.

Hunger will accumulate over time, and Tiger Mom will go hunting after all. The only difference is whether she goes today or tomorrow.

But then, Cangnian felt something was wrong!

Wow——!!!

There was a violent splash of water, followed by a dripping sound of water flowing down, hitting the stone slabs of the cave.

After a few seconds, a strong smell of blood came, and Cangnian was completely dumbfounded!
