Chapter 62 The Discovery of the Little Sable

Squeak~!

When the family of four finished bathing, eating, and taking a rest under the shade of the tree, the squeak of the little sable came from above.

Cang Nian looked up and saw that the little sable was very excited and asked him to climb the tree.

Cang Nian was quite puzzled about this, but thought that the little sable had nothing important to do and should not disturb him, so he climbed up the tree with a bang.

This is a very thick and tall pine tree, which is larger than the pine trees Cang Nian has seen before.

In the previous habitat, the tallest pine tree was only over 30 meters.

Even after migrating hundreds of kilometers, Cang Nian has not seen a tree bigger than this pine tree.

According to his visual results, this pine tree is definitely more than 50 meters.

Because the tree canopy is wide, the branches are lush, and there is a waterfall next to it that brings cool water vapor, so the tiger parents chose this place to rest.

Following the little sable all the way up, until it was almost at the top of the tree, the little guy stopped and then pointed his claws at a huge "tumor".

Seeing this, Cang Nian took a closer look and found that it was a pine cone on a pine tree, but this pine cone was surprisingly large, and it was probably heavier than itself!

Just when he thought that the little sable had nothing to do, a pine cone also called him, but when he saw the huge size of this pine cone, Cang Nian realized that things were not simple.

Squeak~!

Seeing that Cang Nian had finished looking at the pine cone, the little sable squeaked and explained.

"The little sable is saying that this pine cone is not ordinary, it feels very tempting, it feels that eating it will have great benefits, but it is not yet ripe?"

After understanding what the little sable meant, Cang Nian became thoughtful.

"Since animals can evolve, it is impossible that plants cannot evolve.

The height of this pine tree is far beyond the limit of ordinary pine trees, so it can almost be concluded that it is also a... no, an evolving creature.

Then will the fruit it bears have special effects? For example... accelerated evolution?

The little sable is sensitive to its special effects because it eats pine nuts.

I just don't know what changes will happen to plants after evolution? Will they just grow taller?"

Cang Nian pondered secretly.

Thinking of this, Cang Nian reached out to the extremely large pine cone with his claws, pretending to destroy it.

Squeak~!

However, the pine tree did not change at all because of this. Instead, the little sable was startled and ran to the pine cone, begging Cang Nian not to destroy it.

"No... There is something wrong with this idea. For pine trees, pine cones are just swaddling clothes to wrap the seeds of their offspring.

And plants probably don't have the concept of protecting their offspring at all. It's really stupid for me to threaten the pine tree with pine cones to expose whether it can move..."

Seeing this, Cang Nian immediately denied his own method of testing.

"It is necessary to threaten the existence of the pine tree itself before it can force it to take action. If it can take action...

But judging from the excellent ecological environment in this area, even if this pine tree can move and attack, it should be a relatively docile individual."

Then, Cang Nian speculated based on the information around him.

This is easy to judge.

There are large-scale herbivorous animal groups in this area, and the ecology is intact and rich.

In this case, the pine tree is likely not to move, or it will not attack animals passing by nearby.

After all, if it really attacks, those social animals will definitely notice it and run away in fear, causing the number of prey that can be hunted here to decrease sharply.

As for continuing to test...

Cang Nian feels that it is unnecessary.

Of course, there is another reason.

That is, he couldn't test it even if he wanted to!

If he wanted to test whether this huge pine tree could move, he would have to threaten its life...

To kill a giant tree that is fifty meters high and more than one meter in diameter, no other creature can do it except humans.

"Ah~!"

Thinking of this, Cang Nian called out to the little sable.

Guard this pine cone!

Squeak~!

Hearing this, the little sable, who was very uneasy just now and was afraid that Cang Nian would destroy the pine cone, was suddenly very happy and nodded quickly, promising that he would take good care of this pine cone!

Squeak~!

Then, the little sable added another sentence.

If another guy wants to grab the pine cone and he can't beat him, he will definitely report it to the king!

In this regard, Cang Nian naturally nodded and agreed.

Since this pine tree with a high probability of evolution will not be harmful to his family, he can stay at ease.

As for the pine cone, the little sable said that eating it would be good. When it matures, I will definitely give it to tiger father, tiger mother, tiger brother, and little sable to eat together.

So what if tigers eat meat?

If there is any benefit, eat some vegetarian food, don't lose the tiger.

If it is a good thing that can promote evolution, then it will be a big profit!

"Hey? No, the environment here is so good, why haven't we found any powerful predators?

According to the roar of tiger father before, if this is the territory of an adult male tiger, he should think that there is an invasion by outsiders.

Even if you are timid, you should come and observe from a distance, right?"

At this time, Cang Nian suddenly remembered a problem that he had overlooked before.

This habitat is really excellent!

Clean flowing water, large open space to provide good ventilation, abundant food sources, far away from human facilities, even if you don't think as much as I do, it is an ideal habitat for all wild tigers.

But in the end, there was no tiger here.

This is unreasonable!

So, Cang Nian hurried down the tree and searched carefully around.

Such anomalies indicate a possible crisis and cannot be ignored.

"Got it!"

After searching for a long time, Cang Nian finally found a pile of small pieces next to a tree.

Based on the shape and size, it can be determined that it is a tiger's feces.

According to the proportion, it should be much smaller than the tiger father, and will not exceed 250 kilograms.

However, this pile of feces has been here for a long time, so there is no smell, and the color is grayish white, as if it will break into slag if touched.

Expanding the search range, Cang Nian found several more places where such feces are piled up, but similarly, they are also far away from now.

"Is it dead? There is no fresh feces suddenly."

Cang Nian guessed.

As for the possibility of leaving on his own initiative, Cang Nian directly ruled it out.

Only if you are sick in the brain will you leave such a good habitat.

"Did he die of old age, or was it invaded by foreign tigers, so both sides suffered?"

Cang Nian continued to speculate, exploring farther areas, trying to find the bodies left by the tigers that had lived here before.

But at this moment, a dazzling reflection made his eyes dazzle.

Looking closer, he saw an anesthetic needle with a plastic tube that was already a little brittle, and the metal needle was shining in the sun.

"It seems that it was one of the victims of the wild animal slaughterhouse..."

Seeing this, Cang Nian was silent for a long time, a little sad.
