The tiger mom seems to be able to digest the "fruit" for a few more days, probably because she ate more fruit than the others.

Since the fruit was brought back by Tiger Mom, Lin Qian didn't know how much Tiger Mom had eaten, and could only guess based on the differences in their conditions.

The day passed quickly, night fell, the moon hung in the sky, and the life of the tiger cub was just so boring.

Of course, the lives of adult tigers don't seem to have changed much.

Tiger Moms, for example, have only three main things to do every day.

Hunting, resting, and raising cubs.

There were no other activities besides that.

In summer, a warm, humid air mass crossed the towering mountains, bringing heavy rainfall to the entire primeval forest region.

The heavy rainfall caused a sudden drop in temperature, and the rare cool weather silenced even the chirping of insects.

Lin Qian lay at the cave entrance, watching the drizzle fall with Yong Qi, feeling rather bored.

Although he had eaten the "spiritual fruit" and knew that his body had been strengthened by mysterious energy, Lin Qian was not foolish enough to go out and train in the rain.

Tiger cubs are very vulnerable to illness; even a minor cold or pneumonia could be fatal.

Yongqi tried to rush out to play in the water several times, but Lin Qian stopped him each time. She's still angry and ignoring him.

Tiger Brother is truly a tiger; he's not afraid of death at all!

Tiger Mom lay to one side, yawning.

The rain had little effect on it, since there was still a piece of wild boar meat in the cave, so it didn't have to worry about going hungry today.

Although it's already the third day, wild boar meat is obviously more durable than other meats, and with the sharp drop in temperature, there shouldn't be any spoilage issues today.

Even if there are some changes in quality, tigers don't care. When there is no food, tigers will still eat rotten carrion.

Moreover, the tiger mother has had a full meal for two consecutive days, and her appetite will gradually return to normal. Under normal circumstances, it is common for tigers to not eat for two or three days after a full meal.

As for Lin Qian and Yong Qi, they can still fill their stomachs by drinking milk, and with their tiger mother around, they basically don't have any problems with going hungry.

Just because the three tigers can stay peacefully at home doesn't mean other animals can do the same.

A small, dark head peeked out from under a tall pine tree next to the tiger's den. Its brownish-yellow fur was already wet from the rain. It was a yellow-throated marten that had come out to hunt for food.

The yellow-throated marten is a natural enemy of the sable. It is a small to medium-sized wild animal, weighing only three or four kilograms. Like the sable, it belongs to the genus *Marten* of the family Mustelidae.

Despite their small size, yellow-throated martens are quite formidable fighters.

The yellow-throated marten usually hunts herbivores that are much larger than itself, such as muntjacs and deer.

Yellow-throated martens are creatures that do not practice martial ethics. If they cannot defeat a one-on-one fight, they will call on their kind to attack them. They have extremely long canines and sharp claws. When they gather in packs, even jackals and lynxes will give them a wide berth.

When acting alone, the yellow-throated marten often hunts squirrels and pheasants.

Clearly, this lone yellow-throated marten was searching for a squirrel.

Perhaps it was because of the rain that the rain washed away the surrounding scents, allowing the yellow-throated marten to boldly enter Lin Qianyi's tiger's home.

Fortunately, it was raining, otherwise this little thing would either have been slapped to death by its mother tiger on the spot, or it would have been caught by its mother tiger and had its leg bitten off, and then thrown to the cubs to play with, or used for hunting training.

Tiger cubs almost always have some vague instincts, but they don't know how to hunt or kill their prey.

Therefore, the tigress will capture small animals at the right time to train the cubs. These small animals are like living toys for the cubs to practice hunting skills. They are often tormented half to death by the curious and excited cubs, and it would be better to be bitten to death on the spot.

Of course, Lin Qian and her courage haven't reached that stage yet, so Tiger Mom doesn't plan to capture toys for the time being.

But if some clueless little guy comes knocking on her door, Tiger Mom certainly wouldn't mind giving it a try beforehand.

Tigers have excellent eyesight, and Lin Qian's eyesight has improved even more after his body was altered by mysterious energy. So even though he was dozens of meters away in the rain, he still spotted the small figure.

At this moment, the rain intensified, no longer a light drizzle, but a fierce storm began to rage.

The yellow-throated marten quickly climbed the tree, circled the trunk, and successfully found a hole in the pine tree before hiding inside.

Lin Qian was surprised; he hadn't expected there to be a hole in the top of the pine tree he often climbed.

Of course, the tree hole was too high up, and even with his still small body, he didn't dare to go up there.

It's nothing more than the fear that the branches won't be able to support it.

That's right, that's exactly it, he's not afraid of heights at all!

Judging from the location of the tree hole, it may have once been the home of a squirrel, but now the squirrel has left and the hole is empty, serving as a temporary shelter for a yellow-throated marten.

That little guy was lucky; otherwise, in this heavy rain, if its predators had come looking for it, the outcome would have been predictable.

The yellow-throated marten, however, was somewhat disappointed as it entered the tree hole. The hole was filled with the smell of prey, but there was no trace of any delicious food.

The yellow-throated marten sniffed the surrounding scents, and the feeling of hunger in its stomach became increasingly unbearable.

Perhaps because the rainy day was too boring, Lin Qian gradually became engrossed in watching it. He was very curious to know what would happen to the yellow-throated marten next.

Will we stay here, or brave the rain and head elsewhere?

It's important to know that it's harder to catch prey in rainy weather than in sunny weather, and wary herbivores will definitely be hiding in their burrows to avoid the rain.

Since this yellow-throated marten chose to forage alone on a rainy day, it was probably either because it had nowhere to stay or it was extremely hungry.

The rain was pouring down, and the yellow-throated marten hiding in the tree hole was clearly unaware that it was being observed by a tiger cub.

If it knew that this area belonged to the king of the forest, it would never dare to approach it.

Wild animals in the jungle are generally somewhat afraid of tigers.

Let alone a small creature like the yellow-throated marten, even a large and powerful brown bear, capable of uprooting trees, would not easily want to clash with the king of the forest.

The tiger's reputation as a top predator is well-deserved.

Tigers have always been among the most powerful beasts, and no animal living in the forest is unafraid of them.

Lin Qian stared at the tree hole for a while, but the little head didn't peek out again, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Courage expressed his confusion about his brother's behavior of keeping his head up in one position. Doesn't his brother get tired?

After yawning, Yongqi thought it would be better to lie back in its little grass nest and take a nap, and that's exactly what it did.

Lin Qian continued to look at the hole in the old pine tree. Although rainy days are perfect for sleeping, he wasn't sleepy at all.

The heavy rain was strong, and soon the wind picked up, howling through the trees and making the raindrops more and more dense.
