Chapter 65 I have territory now!
[Ding! Killed a prey, Killing Skill Proficiency +1! (100/100)]
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your Killing Skill proficiency has reached maximum. This skill has evolved into—Slaughter!]
As Cangnian swatted a fish to death with one swipe of his claw, a system notification sounded in his mind.
Then, a surge of heat coursed through his limbs and bones, and Cang Nian could feel that every part of his body was growing stronger in small increments!
With stronger limbs, tougher claws, sharper teeth, and even breathing became smoother.
"Finally, the killing skill has evolved!"
This change made Cang Nian feel extremely comfortable.
All things considered, skill evolution along the Killing skill chain offers the best cost-effectiveness.
After all, so far, the feedback from evolution has only affected this one skill from head to toe.
Pa~!
A while later, Cangnian killed another large fish that had been swatted down from the waterfall.
[Ding! Killed a prey, Killing Skill Proficiency +1! (1/10000)]
Then, a system notification sound came, making Cang Nian's lips twitch.
"As expected, the next evolution of a skill that has evolved to the third stage will be a qualitative change."
It takes 10,000 kills to evolve, which is making Cangnian a little tired.
However, Cangnian quickly adjusted his mindset.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; if you want to become stronger, you can't expect something for nothing.
Moreover, someone like me can become stronger through exercise, something other people and animals would love but don't!
Even if the progress bar is frighteningly long, as long as you work diligently and accumulate experience, you will eventually evolve.
In addition, a fish will fall down the waterfall from time to time, most of them quite large, which is a great convenience for accumulating slaughter skill proficiency.
Otherwise, searching for prey in the jungle would take a lot of time, which is far less efficient than "waiting for fish at the waterfall" here.
Ouch~!
Just then, from under the tall pine tree not far away, came the roar of Tiger Dad.
"Does Tiger Dad mean I and Tiger Brother should go with it?"
Having understood Tiger Dad's meaning, Cangnian was somewhat suspicious.
Tiger Dad had never done this before.
However, since the tiger dad has already called for it, and my skills are currently at a bottleneck, I need a long time to accumulate experience and can't break through in a short period of time.
Since I'm just idling around anyway, I might as well see what Tiger Dad wants me to do.
So, Cangnian ran to Tiger Dad in a flash.
Seeing how fast Cangnian was moving on flat ground, Tiger Dad's eyelids twitched.
How come this little rascal runs so fast?
Am I already slower than my one-month-old baby?
woo woo woo...
I'm such a failure as a dad!
Tiger Dad had some doubts about Tiger Life.
However, although his heart was in turmoil, the tiger dad remained calm on the surface, maintaining his dignity as a father.
A little while later, Tiger Brother came running over, panting heavily.
Awooooo~!
Seeing that all the tigers had arrived, Tiger Dad stood up and paced back and forth.
As it paced, it croaked in a low voice.
"Because we have arrived at a new habitat, the tiger father is not familiar with this place."
So they want to take us on a tour of the new territory.
Once you've confirmed there are no other competitors, you can also observe where the food frequently moves around.
"And also to announce my arrival, letting other predators who might try to trespass know that this place is already taken?"
After understanding what Tiger Dad meant, Cangnian nodded to himself.
Although he had previously found traces of a tiger that had once inhabited this place, powerful predators are not limited to tigers.
Brown bears are one of them.
Although Tiger Dad has hunted an evolved adult male brown bear, this does not mean that Tiger Dad is fearless of any brown bear.
What if there's a brown bear that's bigger and more evolved?
In addition, although this place has been poached, the top predator has been vacant for a period of time, and no one knows whether other powerful creatures will take over.
In short, it is essential to survey the new territory upon arriving at a new habitat!
Ouch~!
Tiger Brother was somewhat resistant when he heard that he was going to inspect the new territory.
It's not stupid anymore.
I used to think that migration was a carefree trip, but it turned out that I was actually working myself to the bone every day.
Now, patrolling the territory means traveling a long distance, which must be very tiring!
Don't go!
Pa~!
Ouch~!
[Ding! Scratching skill proficiency +1! (800/10000)]
But the next second, Cangnian's claws slapped Tiger Brother's rump, making it let out a miserable howl.
……
Shasha~!
Four tigers, two large and two small, roamed through the dense forest.
As it was their first time inspecting their new home's territory, the whole family naturally pitched in, including Tiger Mom.
Of the four family members, only Tiger Brother seemed quite melancholy and low on spirits.
It had finally managed to catch a fish, but the first bite it took resulted in a bone getting stuck in its throat, which left it with a significant psychological aversion to fish as prey.
However, what surprised Cangnian was that when Tiger Brother got stuck in a thorn, Cangnian ran over to help, but Tiger Brother only gagged a few times and was fine.
Later, Cangnian saw that Tiger Brother gagged a few times and vomited a few drops of liquid that didn't look like saliva. When it fell on the stone, it made a sizzling sound and melted a small pit!
After a moment's thought, Cang Nian realized that it was Tiger Brother's stomach acid!
No wonder they have such a huge appetite; they can digest any amount of food they eat.
Stomach acid can corrode even rocks, so how could its digestive capacity not be abnormal?
"By all accounts, my meat-eating and digestion skills are almost halfway there."
Thinking of this, Cang Nian recalled his digestive skills.
How much you digest depends on how much you eat.
The brown bear meat he had eaten before significantly improved his meat-eating and digestive skills.
Fish may taste good, but it's not very nutritious.
However, on the other hand, this thing is great for leveling up your meat-eating skill proficiency.
It has a low nutrient density, so it's not filling. You can eat several kilograms at once, and it won't be digested for long before you can eat more.
"After we finish inspecting the territory, we'll use the fish meat to increase our proficiency in the eating and digesting skills!"
Cang Nian was making plans for the future in his mind.
Ouch~!
At this moment, the tiger father, who was leading the way, let out a low growl, signaling Cangnian and the tiger brother to focus their attention on it.
Cang Nian and Hu Di both raised their heads.
Tiger Dad came to a big tree, turned his back to the tree trunk, and raised his tail.
Zhi~!
With a short, sharp spurt, Tiger Dad evenly and thoroughly deposited his urine on the tree trunk.
"Uh... I know this is marking territory, which is equivalent to announcing to the outside world that this is my territory, but no matter how I look at it, it still feels really weird."
Seeing this, Cangnian's lips twitched.
Ouch~!
However, Tiger Brother's originally low spirits were lifted up quite a bit as a result, and he ran happily to Tiger Dad's side.
Just as I was about to follow Tiger Dad's example and mark my territory, I remembered that Tiger Dad had already marked this place.
So, Tiger Brother found a sapling that was less than two meters tall, stuck out his butt, raised his tail, and peed on the tender trunk.
I have territory now!
Tiger Brother amused himself with these thoughts.
