Chapter 747: Chapter 584: Extra Story: Hu Dii’s Journey Plan as the Mountain King
This mountain forest is quite large, with an abundance of trees and lush vegetation, rich in food variety, making it a perfect place for thriving and reproduction.
Hu Dii, with the registration number ST002, stepped out of her luxurious cave, did a satisfying stretch in the open area, and decided to go out and find sothing to eat.
This was her ninth year since leaving her mother, and she had just sent off her second litter of cubs last year, temporarily not keen on having more cubs.
The first litter was with the young tiger who brought her here, who later went off to roam the world.
The father of the second litter was relatively older, but still robust and had a good temperant. He took care until the babies were independent before he left, handing over his entire territory to her, saying he was old and needed to follow ancestral customs and go to the Tiger Clan’s graveyard to rest forever.
What he said was like those little boxes of Two-legged beasts, (ˉ▽￣～) humph~~, she didn’t know any ancestral customs? Deceiving tigers!
But one after another, they longed for the world outside. She had been here for several years, and hadn’t even completely patrolled her own territory a few tis. How about, taking advantage of being single and happy, to thoroughly explore her territory?
She acted on her thoughts, left her scent in front of the cave, and decisively embarked on an exploration journey.
First step, go down to the Protection Station at the foot of the mountain to check-in, and incidentally tell them she’s leaving temporarily and ask them to help look after her luxurious cave.
As she entered the Protection Station’s range, Hu Dii didn’t hurry to approach but let out a roar to confirm the other party was ready before trotting closer to the station.
As expected, on her dedicated platform, there was already a skinned rabbit and a plucked chicken placed.
Oh, although she already had a al on the way, it’s free at, there’s no reason not to eat it, wolf it down, worry later!
After gobbling them up, she went to the small pool beside the Protection Station and washed her face, ensuring she was clean at all tis.
After washing her face and looking up, she saw towels hanging on the bamboo pole nearby. With a swipe of her tiger paw, she picked the prettiest one, rubbed it randomly on her face, and then tossed the towel by the pool.
Familiar with the route, she continued forward to the equipnt departnt door, stood up, let out a couple of howls while knocking on the door.
“Big Girl, how co you’re down here today?” The equipnt departnt head, nervously approaching Hu Dii with a backpack, asked bravely, “What do you want? Don’t rush; I’ll open the door for you.”
This room stores GPS collars, the regular kind, with high-precision equipnt housed in a separate warehouse.
A few years ago, Hu Dii learned from Aunt Leopard, so whenever she patrolled her territory, she would co and get a cara collar. Now, people at the Protection Station know that when Hu Dii cos for equipnt, she plans to go out wandering.
This ti, they didn’t have Hu Dii wear a regular collar. While she was selecting herself, the director received a call from superiors instructing him to outfit Hu Dii with the latest collar capable of transmitting pictures and videos via satellite at intervals.
After everything was done, it was already noon. They even drew a bit of blood and combed so fur to leave for research.
Once all preparations for departure were made, Hu Dii didn’t linger, and with a swift dash, she bounded into the dense forest.
She planned to visit her sister first.
That little girl hadn’t had cubs before but had her first litter last year. As for the male tiger she found, he didn’t show up the entire pregnancy and cub-rearing period. She almost thought her sister reproduced on her own.
During the winter, she visited, bringing a young deer as a gift.
Her sister was in decent condition, with only one little cub to care for, she didn’t have too much pressure. The kid grew well and this sumr should leave to live independently.
After running for half a day, just before sunset, she arrived near her sister’s cave.
“Roar~ Sister, I’m here to see you, are you ho?”
“Roar roar, Sister, co eat so at.”
A tiger head suddenly popped out from the mid-mountain cliff, blood at the corners of her mouth.
“No, I won’t eat. I’m already stuffed. You eat up and then co down and chat with .”
Hu Dii didn’t enter her sister’s cave, instead, she lay down at the foot of a large tree nearby.
Before long, Hu Xiaoi ca down with a chubby little male tiger, greeting Hu Dii, then the fat tiger cub ran off to find a place to do its business.
This area was her mother’s territory; besides food, there were no natural enemies.
“How is it? Is it hard raising a cub?”
“Not hard.” Hu Xiaoi lay down next to her sister, rolling over, “Mmm, it’s still comfortable being with sister.”
Hu Dii smiled as she watched her sister act spoiled for a while, “I plan to go for a stroll, heading southwest. Do you rember what Big Tiger said? He ntioned past this canyon, on the other side, there are more of our kind.”
“I rember, but I’m not interested,” Hu Xiaoi scrunched her nose, “Our kind aren’t always good, sister, don’t go.”
“No, I want to see,” she paused a mont, resting her chin on her sister’s head, “There aren’t many male tigers here; the nearest one is from the sa mother as us. This can’t go on. I’ll head south for a bit, maybe I can bring back a strong one.”
It’s not good to always huddle here for reproduction; one has to get out and explore. The Two-legged beasts who cared for them used to say quality genes co from exchanges. When she went to the Protection Station at the foot of the mountain, those Two-legged beasts worried about the lack of male tigers here too.
The Two-legged beasts thought she couldn’t understand much, but she was smart. They planned if there were really no male tigers, they’d help find her a strong partner for breeding from their captive stocks.
Just like her mother! Though reversed.
Speaking of which, she heard her mom now had a steady partner, a strong male tiger with fur strangely similar to hers. That’s good; it ans that her pretty, silly mom has a tiger caring for her, with Two-legged beasts attending to her, and should happily and peacefully live out her life.
Hu Xiaoi didn’t disturb her sister’s daydreaming. She knew she was still much less capable than her sister. Compared to her strong and formidable sister, it was impressive enough to guard her current territory well.
Oh, oh, when her sister leaves, she will continue to help guard her sister’s territory too!
In that case, let her cub not venture too far for now, and let him live in her sister’s territory for a while. When her sister returns, let him go to find a tigress to have children!
Such a clever little thing I am! Hu Xiaoi blissfully rolled back and forth a few tis beside her sister.
Just then, they heard the cub’s young tiger roar. The sisters jolted and stood up, listened carefully, then lifted their heads, sensing a strange scent on the wind.
Goodness, I (the sister) hasn’t even left yet, and there’s already a tiger looking to seize the territory? This must stop this toxic trend; a tigress’s domain is not sothing so easily taken!
