Suddenly, a red deer bleated twice, "Ooh~ Ooh~".
It saw a tiger crouching and approaching them!
The female red deer cried out in alarm and turned to run. Even a half-grown tiger cub is a dangerous presence!
Adult animals with rich survival experience will never underestimate any factor that may pose a danger.
The other deer also ran out immediately upon seeing this.
"Roar!" Lin Qian let out an angry roar.
Discovered, he was only fifty meters away from the deer herd and had to leap out of the grass. The tiger cub ran wildly toward the fleeing prey!
Even though he's been discovered, Lin Qian doesn't want to give up easily and is doing his best to catch up!
Whoosh whoosh——
The surrounding scenery was constantly receding. Lin Qian was moving very fast, but he was still some distance from an adult tiger.
Red deer are faster, more alert, and have keen hearing and sense of smell; adult red deer can run very quickly.
Lin Qian's speed is already quite good at this stage, but the limitations of felines restrict his ability to surpass deer in terms of endurance.
After chasing for about twenty seconds, when the distance between Lin Qian and the deer was reduced to 10 meters, Lin Qian ran out of energy and the distance between them continued to widen.
This left him with no choice but to watch helplessly as the other person continued to walk away.
The deer quickly disappeared from his sight.
The first attempt to hunt a large animal failed!
There was nothing that could be done about it; Lin Qian's hunting experience was still somewhat immature in the eyes of experienced adult animals.
Tigers have limited stamina. After chasing prey for two or three minutes, their stamina reaches its limit, and they have to give up if they can't catch up with their prey.
Therefore, tigers do not continuously chase their prey, but are adept at lying in wait and striking with deadly precision.
If the tiger mother were here, she would abandon the hunt when spotted by the deer; an experienced hunter wouldn't waste her energy.
After catching his breath for a while, Lin Qian finally recovered. He had really used all his strength in the chase.
Although we failed, we have a better understanding of the situation than before.
He didn't get discouraged; failure is the mother of success, and he'll definitely do it next time!
The next time came quickly. In the evening, many animals began to move around, and Lin Qian encountered two more groups of large animals.
Although his attempt to hunt deer failed, Lin Qian was still willing to try and launched a vigorous attack on his prey.
Of course, the next two hunts also ended in failure.
The little tiger cub was really taken aback.
However, these failures were not entirely useless to Lin Qian; at least he clearly saw the extent of his current abilities.
It's confirmed; large prey like red deer are not currently targets for him to hunt.
Lin Qian didn't feel discouraged. One must take things one step at a time, and one must eat one bite at a time. Hunting cannot be rushed.
He decided to continue his hunt, intending to start with medium-sized prey and the cubs of large prey.
After searching for a long time, Lin Qian still couldn't find a single suitable medium-sized prey.
This left Lin Qian somewhat frustrated; hunting was simply too difficult!
But he must learn it, and master it!
As the sun was about to set, Lin Qian quietly hid among the leaves and branches, searching for small animals that came out to forage.
A cool evening breeze brushed against Lin Qian's fine fur, and it sniffed out the scent of other animals!
Following the scent, Lin Qian slowly moved forward and saw animals on the grass not far away.
It was a small animal with three white stripes on its head, a dark brown back, and white fur on its sides.
It looks somewhat like a black bear, and is about the size of a fox, estimated to weigh between 20 and 25 kilograms.
Yes, that's enough for him to have a good meal.
Lin Qian's target was a wolverine, a member of the mustelid family. Because of its resemblance to a black bear, it is also known as a wolverine.
The wolverine, all black, was eating berries with its head down, completely unaware that a predator had arrived.
After observing for a while, Lin Qian took advantage of the cover of bushes and the night to slowly approach the wolverine.
Having learned from the previous experience of startling a deer, Lin Qian was extra cautious this time.
The half-grown tiger cub hunched over, as if crawling on its stomach, almost completely blending into the forest and vegetation.
Its ears, speckled with white spots, were pressed tightly against its head, and its tiger paws fell silently.
Gradually, Lin Qian got within twenty meters of the wolverine.
Just then, a slight night breeze stirred, and the wolverine caught a whiff of a tiger's scent. Startled, it looked around in alarm.
Lin Qian sensed the wolverine's alertness and immediately used all his strength to run towards it.
He had caught this small prey many times and had enough experience.
At this distance, he can successfully launch a surprise attack!
The wolverine was startled by the sudden appearance of the tiger cub, but instead of panicking and running around, it calmly stood still.
Then, it opened its mouth and roared at Lin Qian.
It seemed to be warning Lin Qian not to get close, or else it wouldn't be so polite!
Lin Qian was stunned by the situation. This little thing actually dared to threaten him?!
They're really fearless!
Almost as soon as the wolverine roared, Lin Qian's tiger paw slammed down on it.
The wolverine bared its fierce teeth, seemingly preparing to retaliate.
But who is Lin Qian? He's a tiger!
Even though it's still small, it's not a threat to small animals like wolverines!
Tiger Paw slapped him across the face!
How could a wolverine withstand the blows of a tiger? In just one strike, the wolverine was sent tumbling to the ground, dazed and confused.
"Roar! Roar!"
This fearless guy, instead of being frightened by being slapped to the ground, became even angrier.
It struggled to get up, letting out even fiercer cries.
Provoked in this way, Lin Qian simply swung his tiger paw.
"Thwack!" The little wolverine, which had just struggled to its feet, was knocked to the ground again!
"Slap! Slap slap slap!!" The sound of whipping echoed continuously in the silent forest.
The wolverine was stunned by the tiger cub's attack; its mind went blank, and its small body began to sway incessantly.
Wolverines belong to the mustelid family. These animals are characterized by their fearlessness and ferocity.
Among them, the honey badger, which is far away in Africa, is the most famous. It dares to bare its teeth at lions and leopards and is an extremely bold and ruthless character!
Wolverines are often considered by many to be cousins of honey badgers because they share the same fearless and reckless nature.
For example, this one right now...
Under Lin Qian's Meow Meow Punch, the wolverine was quickly knocked unconscious like a dead dog.
Lin Qian let out a relieved growl, approached the wolverine, and lunged forward, his sharp teeth instantly piercing the wolverine's throat. His sharp claws tore through the fur, ready to enjoy his meal.
