Chapter 102 Hunting Large Prey
"So Pipi's superpower is lightning."
No wonder they managed to get here unharmed despite being surrounded by wolves.
Seeing Pipi run to his side, Cangnian opened the system panel and moved the five attribute points in the speed column of the [Statistics Master] section to defense.
Then, he stretched out his paw and tried to touch Pippi.
As it turned out, the electric arc looked powerful, but it was actually just for show. It crackled and fell on his body, only making Cang Nian feel a slight stinging sensation on his skin as if his fur was being rubbed and electrified.
Clearly, with the spiritual energy just beginning to recover, Pipi's lightning ability is basically harmless.
However, this is quite useful for dealing with wild animals in the wild.
Just as humans use torches to scare away wild animals, Pippi's cool electric arc outfit looks intimidating.
Therefore, there is no need for direct combat. Simply wrapping the body with electric arcs will deter most wild animals from attacking such a strange creature.
When Cang Nian touched him with his claws, Pi Pi didn't dare to move at all and could only curl up into a ball.
It even wanted to retract the electric arc to avoid angering Cang Nian.
But because of its tension and fear, it released even more electric arcs, illuminating the dark forest.
This is the fear of apex predators that flows deep in our blood.
Seeing that Pipi was terrified, Cangnian stopped teasing it and turned around to continue patrolling its territory.
"Sigh...it seems like anime is all lies. Superpowers like lightning can't actually increase speed!"
At this moment, the fisherman jogged over to Pipi, soothed it with his big hand, and muttered something under his breath.
……
The subsequent inspection of the territory proceeded without too many surprises.
After all, the only creatures that can threaten the Siberian tiger in the wild are brown bears and the enormous wild boar king.
Even after the spiritual energy revival tide, many creatures gained strange and unusual abilities, some of which were quite remarkable.
However, since everyone's level of evolution is not high at present, even if they have superpowers, they won't be too powerful.
Just like the little sable's special ability is space, but the only means it currently has is a storage space.
Just like the husky Pipi, lightning ability is undoubtedly one of the most lethal, but now it's just a simple special effect, and its lethality is only slightly stronger than the electric sparks in a lighter.
Therefore, for the time being, it is still very difficult to use powerful superpowers to close the gap between a weak creature and a top predator like a tiger.
Therefore, at this time, the Cangnian family's dominance over this habitat was still quite stable.
Methods like exploding mushrooms might cause some trouble for Cangnian, but they're just trouble, not a threat.
By noon, having explored half of this larger territory, Cangnian and his group arrived at the lower reaches of the river.
Many animals come to drink water along the riverbank.
Quite coincidentally, the same herd of deer from yesterday is drinking water here right now.
But upon seeing the tiger father, the herd of deer immediately fled in the same direction, not daring to linger.
Seeing this, Tiger Dad raised his chin, swaggered to the riverbank, and bent down to drink water.
"Oh? Right, I killed a big fish yesterday and gained 100 proficiency points in my Slaughter skill."
Now we can actually test whether hunting prey larger than me will grant me proficiency corresponding to my body weight.
Seeing the herbivores gathered by the river to drink, Cang Nian's heart stirred.
However, he did not act rashly.
He knew very well that once he hunted once, he wouldn't have a second chance.
Just like yesterday, after Tiger Dad killed that elk, all the herbivores around it ran away.
Even if one is extremely fast, it is almost impossible to kill a prey much larger than oneself and then catch up with other prey that has already run far away to hunt a second time.
Therefore, the prey must be carefully selected.
The size can't be too small, otherwise it would be a bit of a loss.
The size can't be too big either. If you can't handle it yourself and the other party breaks free, then you'll get nothing.
So, Cangnian's eyes swept around and finally found a prey that met his needs!
That was a female sika deer from a herd.
It weighs about 70 kilograms, almost three times its own weight.
However, the sika deer has a slender and agile physique and is not known for its strength, but rather for its speed.
In addition, sika deer have thinner fur, making it easier to bite through their throats, making them easier to hunt compared to other prey of the same weight.
Of course, that's because Cangnian can overwhelm its opponent in speed, making it easier to hunt such targets.
If it were another adult tiger, a small deer of the same size would probably be easier to deal with.
After getting a little closer to the enemy's location in the dense forest, Cang Nian didn't use any stealth techniques and just started running!
Whoosh! ! !
Like an arrow released from a bow, Cang Nian burst forth with astonishing speed, rushing wildly toward the female sika deer in the herd!
Before the other party could react, the distance between Cangnian and it had already suddenly shrunk to thirty meters!
Only then did it realize with horror that a tiger had approached it to such a dangerous distance!
So, it frantically started running to the side, its slender hooves moving alternately from side to side!
But by then, it was too late.
In just one second, Cangnian reduced the thirty-meter distance to zero!
Immediately, he leaped forward and appeared precisely in the path that the sika deer, which was just starting to move, was bound to take!
Then, he quickly adjusted his posture in mid-air, and his claw blades shot out, piercing deep into the opponent's fur and muscles!
In the next instant, he quickly manipulated the [Numerical Master] in his mind, moving the speed attribute that he didn't need at the moment to the strength attribute!
Ouch~!
Finally, he opened his mouth wide, revealing sharp, long fangs, and with ferocious power, he bit down!
Click~!
Without any hindrance, Cang Nian bit through the sika deer's fragile throat bone in one bite!
As he bit, the thin fur on the sika deer's neck was torn open, the arteries around its throat ruptured, and blood gushed out. Cang Nian could even feel the air twitching in the deer's throat.
This is the sika deer's yearning for breath, its instinct for survival.
But at this moment, its breathing is no longer able to deliver oxygen-rich air into its lungs.
Then, the lack of oxygen gradually slowed its brain function, and excessive blood loss gradually weakened its heartbeat...
Bang~!
It eventually collapsed.
[Ding! Killed a prey, Killing Skill Proficiency +75! (5275/10000)]
At this moment, the surrounding sika deer realized that their companion had fallen to the ground and was on top of a tiger that was clearly not yet an adult.
