Chapter 33 The Tiger Brother Who Can Eat and Grow Fast
Seventeen days after birth.
Having eaten the meat of the Amur leopard, the mother tiger solved her food problem and no longer needed to hunt.
It is worth mentioning that the meat of the Amur leopard did not rot even after being left exposed to the elements for a day, which confirmed Cang Nian's previous conjecture.
Evolved creatures have flesh that is much less likely to decay than the flesh of ordinary creatures!
This was naturally a good thing for the tiger family, so the mother tiger dragged the unfinished carcass of the Amur leopard back to the den.
As for the complete pelt of the Amur leopard, it had already dried out. Because it hadn't been tanned, the skin had become stiff, but the fur remained soft.
Therefore, Cang Nian used it as a mattress, and it was very comfortable to sleep on it.
Tiger Brother also loved the leopard-skin mattress and insisted on sleeping on it with Cangnian.
Fortunately, the two brothers are not very big now, and a leopard skin is more than enough for them to sleep together.
As soon as it was light, Tiger Mom took Cangnian and Tiger Brother to the open space, as usual. However, this time, she also brought the remaining carcass of the Siberian leopard.
Although the thing looked like it would take some time to decay, the tiger mother was not comfortable leaving it in the cave.
Even if the tiger mother's scent lingers, most animals will instinctively fear it and stay away from the cave.
But some daring individuals might sneak inside and steal the Amur leopard's carcass!
Although the tiger mother didn't know anything about evolution, she could sense that the meat of the Amur leopard was very filling. She only ate about half of it before she couldn't eat anymore, and even after most of the day had passed, she hadn't burned off much of her energy.
Cangnian also noticed this.
Unlike the Tiger Mom, who basically conserves her energy and avoids moving as much as possible, Cang Nian exerts herself every day by exercising with great discipline.
After eating the meat of the Siberian leopard yesterday and further improving his milk-drinking skills, Cang Nian rested for a while before going for a run.
In one afternoon, he leveled up his jogging skill proficiency to level 50!
That's a length of twenty-five kilometers!
Let alone tiger cubs, even adult tigers would be getting a lot of exercise like this.
Even with this level of exercise, the more than one kilogram of evolved meat he ate hadn't been completely burned off. Cang Nian estimated that he could sustain his exercise for another two days!
That's understandable; they drink milk more than ten times a day, but one meal of meat can last for several days.
The energy density and nutrient density of meat are much higher than those of tiger milk!
"Today, plus tomorrow, I should be able to max out my jogging skill proficiency."
This should be the first skill I've ever gotten to evolve three times. The prerequisites are so amazing, the improvement after evolution must be amazing too, right?
Cang Nian ran while looking forward to it.
Soon, the morning workout ended, and the proficiency level of the jogging skill reached level 62, bringing me one step closer to evolution.
As noon approached and the weather grew hot, Cangnian brought Tiger Brother to Tiger Mother's side and they rested under the dense forest.
To Cangnian's surprise, Tiger Brother actually went to eat the evolved meat of the Siberian Leopard!
"Wow... what kind of digestive ability is this?"
Tiger Brother looked genuinely hungry and was eating, which amazed Cang Nian.
You should know that he ate less than two kilograms of evolved meat, but he felt that he would not be able to burn off that energy until he finished training tomorrow, and would become hungry and need to eat again.
As a result, Tiger Brother, who had only been active for a day and had much less physical activity than Tiger, was already eating!
Its digestive ability has undergone a second evolution!
In the end, he still couldn't beat Tiger Brother!
"Wait a minute... hasn't Tiger Brother gotten even bigger again?"
Then, Cangnian frowned, circled the eating tiger brother a few times, and felt more and more that the tiger brother was not simple.
Energy is conserved; no matter how much you eat, it will eventually have to go somewhere.
Tiger Brother's training intensity is far less than mine, so the majority of his energy expenditure can't just be excreted in his feces.
Then there's only one truth left!
That is, the remaining energy became the nutrients for its growth!
Simply put, it can eat a lot and grow a lot!
This made Cang Nian quite envious.
Being able to eat and grow quickly—that's the best physical talent a predator can have!
It's important to understand that size is the biggest factor in determining the strength of a predator. Among predators that are equally skilled at fighting, the one with a significant weight advantage is undoubtedly more likely to win!
For example, comparing the mother tiger to the Amur leopard, both are pantherine predators, but the mother tiger weighs nearly 200 kilograms while the Amur leopard weighs only 100 kilograms. This nearly double weight difference means the Amur leopard has no courage to fight the mother tiger.
One force can overcome ten techniques. With Tiger Brother's outstanding physical talent, as long as he gets enough nutrition during his growth period, he doesn't need any combat skills. It's not impossible for him to grow to adulthood and weigh over 300 kilograms. He has the physical attributes to compete with the strongest Tiger King in history!
"I wonder what my and Tiger Brother's biological father is like? Could he be a top-tier Tiger King? Probably."
A typical female tiger weighs around 150 kilograms, so a tiger mother weighing 200 kilograms is an extremely large individual among female tigers. Unless it is a top tiger king, it would probably not be able to control the tiger mother.
It seems that Tiger Brother's talent is not without reason. Both parents are exceptionally large individuals in their species, so it's normal for their offspring to have such a significant genetic advantage.
Cang Nian made a reasonable deduction, but then his expression turned strange.
"So... why was I so weak when I was born? If it weren't for the system panel, I might have died. Could it be that Tiger Brother had already evolved before he was born, and instinctively took as much nutrition as possible while in Tiger Mother's belly, which is why I was so weak when I was born?"
The more Cang Nian thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Pa~!
[Ding! Claw attack performed once, Claw attack skill proficiency +1! (18/100)]
The more Cangnian thought about it, the angrier he became, so he slapped Tiger Brother's buttocks with all his might.
But before the claws could land, Cang Nian regretted it.
His current physical attributes have evolved from killing skills to slaughter, and the power of a single claw strike is considerable!
Ouch~!
However, to Cangnian's surprise, after the tiger brother was hit hard by a claw, he was not badly hurt, he just let out a howl of pain.
Then, it turned its head and instinctively glanced at Cangnian with fear. Then it moved its rear end to the side to make room and whimpered twice in a somewhat fawning manner, as if it wanted Cangnian to eat meat too.
"Damn... No wonder he's a genius, his skin is so thick and tough, it's simply unreasonable."
Cang Nian was stunned for a while before thinking sourly.
This reminded him of the time when, in the cave, the tiger mother went out hunting for the first time, and the fox sneaked in and started biting the tiger cub.
I thought Tiger Brother was going to die, but when I woke up, Tiger Brother was not only alive, but he had only been bitten and his skin was broken. He was actually fine, he was just scared and was barking loudly.
