Before releasing them, Shi Wen attached miniature cameras to their necks and checked their condition using GPS trackers.
After confirming that they were all healthy, Shi Wen patted one of the tiger cubs on the neck. "Go, step towards freedom."
Little Tiger: "Roar--"
The two tiger cubs seemed very excited to be able to play in the mountains and forests.
Shi Wen tap them, they dart out like arrows, run to the tree, sniff around, and even scratch at the trunk with their claws—they're incredibly lively.
Shi Wen stood there watching them go, thinking, "Those two had no idea what was going on; they thought they were just out having fun."
Yan Kexing: "They'll realize it soon enough."
Shi Wen: "I hope so."
Everyone went back to the car to review the surveillance footage.
The two tiger cubs seemed very comfortable back in the forest, and even urinated several times to mark their territory.
They wander through the Linzi, and occasionally, when they see a thick patch of fallen leaves, they will lie down and roll around, exposing their bellies.
Shi Wen, watching the monitor, muttered, "They're having too much fun; they have no sense of vigilance at all."
Zhou Hongzhong laughed, "As the apex predators of the jungle, other animals should be wary of them. They really don't need to be wary; their fighting power is undeniable."
Shi Wen, "That makes sense."
The two tiger cubs ran into the jungle and played for a long time. Then they ran out and returned to the car, barking affectionately at Shi Wen.
Shi Wen gestured to them, telling them to go hunting on their own.
Two little tigers scratched at the car door, acting spoiled and unwilling to get in.
Shi Wen them staring at me through the window, and I kept trying to shoo them away.
I didn't feed the tiger cubs this morning; their last meal was yesterday evening.
Even yesterday evening, Shi Wen didn't feed them much meat, only about a third of what they usually get.
They must be hungry after not eating meat for so long.
They whine and whine outside for a while, but didn't get any food, so they had no choice but to go back into the jungle.
This time they were clearly not so leisurely; instead, they diligently surveyed their surroundings, trying to pry out something to eat.
Shi Wen them digging in their burrows on the security camera, muttering to themselves, "What are you doing digging in such a small burrow? Going to hunt big prey!"
Yan Kexing: "Perhaps due to habits developed on the pasture, they tend to prefer hunting smaller prey."
The tiger cubs learned most of their hunting skills from Cong Zai and the Wolf King; Cong Zai and the others particularly liked to hunt small animals.
Shi Wen sighed, "Small prey can't possibly fill our stomachs, let alone whether there are any small animals in the car."
While they were chatting, the two tiger cubs had already quickly pried open the cave entrance with their claws, turning it into a large hole.
There really was a little mountain mouse trembling inside.
The two tiger cubs didn't hold back at all; they used their claws to hook the mountain rat out and eat it.
Well, they do have some hunting skills.
Although the prey caught this time was small, if they could catch a few more, it wouldn't be impossible to fill their stomachs with this.
Shi Wen still felt worried Shi Wen saw the huge pile of mud that had been pulled out on the monitor.
However, the tiger cubs have their own paths to walk, and they have to try things out to know what suits them best.
One little mountain mouse certainly couldn't fill the stomachs of two tigers.
After they finished eating, they seemed even hungrier, pacing restlessly in the jungle, and trying to return to find Shi Wen's car.
Shi Wen chasing away the two tiger cubs once again.
The two tiger cubs looked very disappointed and a little angry, roaring and pounding on the car door with their claws, leaving two big dents.
Zhou Hongzhong almost pulled out his tranquilizer gun. "As expected of a tiger, with this fighting power, it could probably smash a person's skull with one blow."
Shi Wen, "Given their size, they must be incredibly strong."
Tigers gain muscle much more easily than humans, and they fed the two tiger cubs good food and water.
The two tiger cubs were very robust, appearing larger than tigers of the same age in their natural state, and were also extremely strong.
Their only shortcomings are their combat awareness and combat skills.
By evening, the two tiger cubs still hadn't found a second prey, even though they dug several more mud burrows.
However, there was no prey in the burrows they dug, suggesting that the prey may have escaped through other entrances.
They dug diligently for half a day, only to find it was all for nothing. One of the tiger cubs got so angry that it jumped up and stomped on the hole entrance several times with its front paws.
The two tiger cubs, who rarely experienced hunger, were listless and languidly lying on the pile of fallen leaves under the tree, their tails drooping, looking rather unhappy.
Shi Wen that they had already made arrangements on the ranch and were currently staying at the foot of the mountain.
The original field training was for three days, and they may have to stay here for three days.
If the two tiger cubs are still unable to catch any prey within three days, they will have to take them back, learn from the experience, and take them out for wild training again next time.
It's only the first night, so we definitely can't leave someone behind.
The two tiger cubs basically grew up on the ranch and are very friendly to people and livestock, with excellent temperaments.
However, they have never experienced hunger. Shi Wen is worried that if they were hungry, their personalities might change, such as coming down from the mountain to attack humans and livestock.
Therefore, they need to stay here to guard the area, and if anything goes wrong, they can immediately subdue the two tiger cubs and take them back.
Tigers are also very active at night.
As night falls, they may become too hungry to bear it any longer, so they get up again and begin searching in the mountains and forests.
It's unclear whether they'll have good or bad luck this time.
They found a herd of wild goats.
When they met on a narrow path, the wild goat immediately ran up the mountain, and the two tiger cubs roared and chased after it.
The wild goats ran incredibly fast, were extremely familiar with the mountains and forests, and moved with incredible agility through the steep terrain.
