Chapter 134
Cheng Yan showed a surprised expression when he came to the cave entrance, because after coming here, in addition to the smell of blood, he also smelled the smell he had smelled before.
The predator in the cave gave a warning growl.
Roar!!!
Like the sound of a twelve-cylinder engine, it came from the cave.
The predator in the cave was a tiger.
And it was one that Cheng Yan had seen.
The one that lost in the fight between the two big tigers he saw yesterday.
The tiger was chased for a long distance yesterday, and ran out of the tiger's territory before it successfully escaped.
Although the resources here are not very good, it can allow the tiger to recover well because there are no other predators.
In the wild, a normal Siberian tiger is of course at the top of the food chain.
But if it is injured, and the injury is not light, then you have to be careful.
Wolves that usually run away when they see a tiger, as well as leopards and black bears, are predators.
Once they find a tiger that is seriously injured, they will not run away, and may even want to kill the injured tiger. Sometimes, killing an injured tiger is more important to them than hunting.
Because if the territory of predators such as wolves or black bears is in a state of intersection or overlap with that of the tiger, then they are competitors.
Because there are only so many resources in the territory, if a predator kills a herbivore, then other predators will have one less prey, and tigers are the strongest predators in the mountains and forests. A tiger will kill a large number of prey, and other predators can only eat what the tiger leaves.
Being able to kill a tiger is enough for other predators in the territory to enjoy a very comfortable life.
Therefore, this seriously injured tiger had to hide in this place where there are no resources and other predators dislike it.
Cheng Yan's arrival made the tiger very nervous, especially when Cheng Yan walked into the cave and saw his size, the tiger's warning growl was accompanied by a hint of despair.
Cheng Yan looked at the tiger in front of him and couldn't help shaking his head. In the wild, tigers usually fight for territory. If they lose, it's okay if they are not injured. Once they are injured, it's basically the prelude to death.
The same is true for this tiger at this time. It has scratches and bites on its body. Although some wounds are no longer bleeding, the bloody smell is enough to make it more difficult to hunt.
The key is that there is a long scratch on its hind legs, which will greatly affect its speed and movement, making it more difficult to hunt.
The tiger is hiding in the cave now, actually waiting for death to come. It may take a lot of time for it to recover from the wound.
During this period, it cannot hunt. Recovery requires a lot of energy. Without a food source, it will only consume the energy stored in the body. After it is consumed, the tiger will be almost dead.
Looking at the big tiger in front of him, Cheng Yan thought about it and decided not to disturb it. Let it recover here. There are not many Siberian tigers. A Siberian tiger of this size needs a lot of resources to grow to this extent.
Cheng Yan took out a large piece of meat and a bucket of water, piled them all in the cave, and walked out.
Cheng Yan walked out of the cave and looked back. There was enough food. The tiger should be able to survive this period, provided that it would not encounter other predators, but it only needs to survive the first few days.
When the tiger has enough food, its self-healing ability is very fast. It can recover significantly in a few days. After surviving the first few days, it will also have the ability to resist if it encounters some predators.
As long as it has the ability to resist, those predators will be concerned and dare not provoke easily.
Cheng Yan left here and walked in the direction he had been heading.
As he walked far enough, the sparse trees began to become dense again.
Is this a new forest?
Cheng Yan looked at the environment in front of him and found that many of the vegetation were different from those in Changbai Mountain.
After entering this forest, Cheng Yan began to wander around in this new forest, preparing to find out the environmental conditions in this forest.
After strolling for a few hours, Cheng Yan found that this forest was not big, at least much smaller than Changbai Mountain, with only a few small hills and a forest.
There were also fewer animals in it, most of which were common, such as hares, lynxes, etc.
In this forest, lynxes are already the strongest predators, and powerful predators such as leopards and black bears are also very powerful.Predators, Cheng Yan didn't see any.
But now that Cheng Yan is here, he is the strongest predator in this forest. It's a pity that he has so much meat in the system space, so he doesn't need to hunt.
It just so happens that Cheng Yan's arrival will not have much impact on the ecological environment of this forest.
When he first came, the small animals here might be scared to tremble, and after Cheng Yan left, they can resume their normal life.
In any forest, if there is one more tiger, it will greatly affect the ecological environment.
If a tiger goes crazy and only hunts but doesn't eat, it will cause the collapse of the local ecology.
Just like the tigress that Cheng Yan saw in the Daxing Mountains before.
At that time, the tigress thought that the little tiger ran away because it was hunted by a predator, so she went crazy and killed any animal she saw.
All the animals in its territory were scared away. After this hunting, that territory will not return to its previous state without a period of development.
The tigress will probably have to choose to find other territories in the end, because the other animals in that territory are not enough to feed the tigress and the cubs.
The same is true for the forest where Cheng Yan is now. The forest is not very big, and most of the animals are small. Lynx is the most powerful predator here. In this case, a tiger suddenly came. If this tiger still wants to hunt.
Then the impact on the ecology will be too great. At that time, the lynx may move overnight.
After strolling in the forest and scaring many small animals, Cheng Yan looked at the gradually darkening sky and lay down in the forest to rest.
He was not afraid that other animals would think that he would block the way if he lay down here with such a big body.
