The mother tiger looked gently at her cubs, who had fallen asleep again, adjusted their positions, and then lay down in the cave.
Perhaps because she was feeling too comfortable, she also felt a little sleepy.
The male tiger, which had run not far from its den, suddenly felt sleepy. After thinking for a moment, it chose a secluded spot and lay down.
With its mouth wide open, the tiger yawned and immediately fell into a deep sleep, its usually alert ears now relaxed.
There are many predators in the jungle, but tigers are apex predators, and no animal in the jungle would be foolish enough to provoke an adult tiger.
Therefore, the male tiger was not worried about its own safety at all.
If Lin Qian hadn't fallen asleep, he would have noticed that the forest was much quieter than usual today.
Outside the cave, a gust of wind suddenly blew up, swirling up many larch needles.
These tiny needles are the biggest annoyance to tigers. They are very uncomfortable when they get tangled in their fur. If they can't shake them off, they have to use their tongues. The bitter smell of pine resin and wormwood is disgusting to tigers.
Fortunately, Lin Qian and her three cubs are now sleeping soundly in the cave, undisturbed by the tiger's needles.
The resilient larch trees stand silently on the ground outside the cave. They can grow in fertile and moist soil as well as in barren and arid slopes, and can withstand temperatures as low as minus fifty degrees Celsius, demonstrating their strong vitality.
The wind, which had been gentle, suddenly turned violent, howling and whistling through the vast forest.
"Boom—"
A muffled clap of thunder suddenly rang out.
The raindrops pattered down with a loud crash, and a downpour quickly took shape.
Under the curtain of rain, larch trees and many other trees and vegetation quietly accept the baptism from nature, facing the wind and rain with peace and tranquility.
They have clearly endured countless years of such loneliness and monotony; many trees have even been rooted in this land for decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years.
As the heavy rain poured down, rainwater accumulated slightly in the puddles of the grass, only to be quickly absorbed by the soil and vegetation.
The forest was very quiet under the rain; apart from the sound of the rain, there seemed to be no other sound.
The birds that used to fly and sing have disappeared, and the howling beasts have vanished.
Only the howling wind and torrential rain washed over the trees and grass, and some vegetation swayed slightly in the rain as a strange airflow blew through it.
In the blink of an eye, the slight commotion disappeared.
What should have been an ordinary summer rain seemed to harbor something strange and unusual.
Plants, which have always existed as producers, have silently and selflessly given everything, but now they seem to be changing.
The heavy rain came suddenly and ended just as quickly; in less than an hour, this impromptu performance by nature had come to a close.
Inside the cave, Lin Qian slowly opened his eyes.
The little tiger was yawning, looking incredibly cute.
Lin Qian blinked, feeling a little sleepy. Why was she so sleepy today?
She just woke up this morning, drank her milk, and then fell asleep again?
Before he could think further, his tummy rumbled, reminding him that it was time to eat.
Courage let out a howl and pounced on the tiger mother, begging for milk.
It was hungry, very hungry.
The tiger mother looked at her hungry cubs and felt very hungry herself, which puzzled her.
She had a big meal yesterday, so how come she's hungry again so soon?
The hunger intensified, and the tiger mother stopped thinking. She nudged her courage with her paws, turned around, and dragged out the bear meat.
She was going to feed the tiger cubs meat.
The tiger cubs are now two months old and growing very well. Their milk teeth are also growing in very healthy, and they can start eating some meat.
As for fox meat, the tiger mother did not intend to feed it to the cubs because fox meat does not taste good due to its odor.
Under normal circumstances, tigers do not like to hunt foxes.
Foxes are small, and their meat isn't very tasty, so the benefits don't justify the effort.
Lin Qian's eyes lit up when he saw Tiger Mom's actions.
What a huge bear!
Wow, Tiger Daddy is really awesome!
They managed to hunt back such a big brown bear!
He saw the tiger mother carrying the bear in, and then he realized that it was the tiger father who brought back the prey.
After two months of living as a tiger, Lin Qian had become desensitized to blood-soaked animal carcasses; he had seen far too many tiger mothers returning from hunting and feeding.
But seeing the headless brown bear, Lin Qian was still startled, amazed by Tiger Dad's strength.
Then, remembering the 500-kilogram bite force of a Siberian tiger, it suddenly seemed perfectly reasonable.
Thinking of the strength of the male tiger, Lin Qian suddenly felt confident in his tiger life. He was also a male tiger, and he would be no less powerful when he grew up!
Awooo!
He is a Siberian tiger cub.
It won't take ten years; we can reach Hexi in three years!
