Chapter 41 The Clingy Little Saber-toothed Tiger

Days passed by, and the two saber-toothed tiger cubs that Xu Que and Ha Gang had captured from the primeval forest grew bigger day by day.

Xu Que suddenly realized that these two little guys were even more clingy than he was!

As long as they open their eyes and see Xu Que, they will follow him all day long, no matter where he goes!

Before, they were too small to run, so Xu Que had to sneak around whenever he went out! Now they've grown quite a bit! They're about the size of a mongrel dog now, so they can definitely run! Xu Que isn't so worried anymore! He might as well let them come with him!

"Hey? You heartless bunch! I took such good care of you before, and now you're so affectionate towards Xu Que! Have you completely forgotten about me?" Hou looked at the two little saber-toothed tigers in front of him with a bit of anger, pouting and deliberately being angry.

Xu Que took out a boning knife and a multi-functional power drill from the system warehouse, found a piece of wood nearby, replaced it with a small drill bit for carving, and carved two wooden balls for the saber-toothed tiger cubs to gnaw on!

Xu Que gently pushed the carved wooden ball to the ground, and the saber-toothed tigers picked it up and played with it happily!

"Wow! They really like the toy you made for them! Look how engrossed and well-behaved they are! It seems they've finally forgotten about clinging to you!" Hou said to Xu Que while watching the saber-toothed tiger cubs play.

"I'm training them!" Xu Que said, picking up the wooden toy ball that had fallen from the saber-toothed tiger cub's mouth and throwing it forcefully into the distance.

Seeing the wooden ball leave Xu Que's hand, the little saber-toothed tiger shot off like an arrow and chased after it.

The wooden ball, under the influence of gravity and friction, came to a stop and rolled into the weeds.

The saber-toothed tiger, having run out of wooden toy balls, bravely jumped into the tall grass to search for them.

Before long, it carried its wooden ball in its mouth and ran quickly toward Xu Que.

The way the little saber-toothed tiger fetched the ball for the roar was absolutely ridiculous.

"Why is it that when you throw the ball into the weeds, it rushes into the weeds to find it? And after finding it, it still hands the ball back to you, asking you to throw it again for it!"

"I don't know either! My dog ​​used to do that too! He always liked playing with me like that!"

"Come on! I'll throw it once!" Hou said, taking the wooden ball from Xu Que's hand that the saber-toothed tiger used to sharpen its teeth and throwing it with all its might into the depths of the grove.

Sure enough, the little saber-toothed tiger saw Roar throw his wooden ball and chased after it in the direction it had rolled.

In less than half a minute, he picked up the wooden ball again.

"Wow! That's amazing! This little guy is so much fun!"

"Little Black, come here!" Xu Que called out to the saber-toothed tiger cub that was gnawing on a wooden-soled cowhide slipper.

"Little Huang, go find the ball!" Xu Que snatched the wooden ball from Little Huang's mouth and deliberately made a throwing motion forward!

Little Yellow the saber-toothed tiger wasn't stupid. It knew that Xu Que hadn't thrown it but was just teasing it, so it kept looking up at his hand, its tail wagging behind it.

"When was the name chosen? How will I find out?"

"Just now! This saber-toothed tiger is called Little Yellow, and that one is called Little Black!"

"Little Black, Little Yellow, you two come here!" Xu Que made a gesture with his left hand, and with his right hand he was preparing to feed the two saber-toothed tiger cubs the beef they usually liked to eat!

The little saber-toothed tiger named Xiao Hei ran quickly to Xu Que's side after seeing Xu Que's hand gesture!

Xu Que took out a piece of beef from his pocket and fed it to Xiao Hei with his hands.

While Xiao Hei was eating meat, he quickly ran to the other side, called out to Xiao Hei again, and then made the same gesture as before.

Xiao Hei glanced at Xu Que, and without even a second's hesitation, rushed towards Xu Que again.

Xu Que took out a piece of meat from his pocket, fed it to the animal, and gently stroked its head and neck.

Hou, feeling curious, imitated Xu Que's voice and called out to Xiao Hei and Xiao Huang a few times, "Come here!"

Little Yellow and Little Black just glanced at her and didn't run towards her.

"Huh? Why do they rush over without hesitation when you call them? But when I call the two of them, they don't react at all? Could it be that they can really understand what we're saying?" Hou looked at Xu Que with a puzzled expression!

"Of course not! There are techniques to training them! I just used hand gestures first, and they mainly follow the gestures, not the sounds! Since you didn't use hand gestures, of course they wouldn't go to you! Try using hand gestures and then calling their names, and see if they come to you!"

Following Xu Que's instructions, Hou first made some hand gestures, and then called out to Xiao Hei and Xiao Huang to come over!

Sure enough, two saber-toothed tiger cubs ran towards the roar, frolicking happily.

Hou used the same hand gesture again, pointing at Xu Que and calling out, "Xu Que..."

Xu Que glared at Hou and retaliated by using the hand gesture command to summon the saber-toothed tiger.

"Wow! That's amazing! I always thought these birds and beasts couldn't be domesticated by humans! It seems I was wrong! It turns out they can all be domesticated by humans!"

"Following this logic, if I raise a Tyrannosaurus Rex from a young age, can I summon it using these gestures and voice commands when it grows up?" Hou asked Xu Que.

"Theoretically, it's possible! But reality and theory might differ! Tyrannosaurus Rex is a behemoth. If you make a hand gesture to it, the question is whether it can see your finger clearly? If it can't even see your finger clearly, then wouldn't it be a waste of hand gestures?"

"I need to train their biting ability now!" Xu Que said, taking out a 20-centimeter-wide piece of cowhide folded together from the tribe's cave. He then had the two saber-toothed tiger cubs bite on the cowhide and play tug-of-war to see who had greater strength and bite force.

As a result, the two saber-toothed tiger cubs fought back and forth, neither gaining the upper hand.

Xu Que grabbed the stacked leather strips from the middle, and pulled the two saber-toothed tigers that were biting both ends of the leather strips, and violently tore them back and forth!

"What ability are we training in Xiao Hei and Xiao Huang this time?" Hou squatted down next to Xu Que, rubbing his hands together, looking eager to try.

“Bite strength and endurance! Courage! Loyalty! Do you want to give it a try?” Xu Que freed one hand and gently stroked Hou’s head as he spoke.

"Let's forget it! It's not fun at all! It's boring! It's been so long since you hugged me! Hug me and let's get some rest!" Hou looked at Xu Que and gently rested his head on his shoulder.

Xu Que hugged her tightly and led her back to the cave.
