Chapter 5  : Killing, Licking Tiger

Its huge body charged like a chariot, and the momentum was extremely shocking.

Wang Hu was not startled, and he laughed instead; it was what he wanted.

He lunged forward without hurry. His speed wasn’t as fast as usual, relatively speaking.

The distance of just a few meters passed in an instant under the charge of two behemoth creatures.

Before the collision, Wang Hu protruded his forefoot and stretched his head slightly forward, with a tensed body and accelerated heartbeat. It immediately attracted a ready blow from the bear’s paw, followed by the hideous bear’s mouth.

It was at that very moment, just before the collision, that his huge body burst out with incredible power.

His upper body made another ninety-degree turn in midair, with a baffling power generation skill.

He happened to avoid the bear’s paws and mouth and rushed to its shoulders once again. He tore off a piece of flesh and retreated, making the angry giant bear turn its head and bite into nothing.

Roar~!

Pain, panic, anger, madness, and other emotions mixed together in its screams, and they made the surrounding snow tremble.

Wang Hu didn’t care. He spat out the flesh and blood from his mouth, took a few light and domineering steps, and stopped before the cave; coldly looking at the angry and frightened brown bear.

Roar~!

Roar~!

After roaring several times—desperately showing his strength and deterrence, the brown bear did not move forward to fight.

Wang Hu was indifferent. This was the most commonly used method among animals.

Showing one’s own strength and letting the opponent know it was better to leave…

In fact, this was a lack of self-confidence. The furious bear used this method after he was enraged.

It also showed its panic and weakness.

He ignored its roar. He tentatively stepped forward, forcing the opponent to do it again.

Roar~!

Sure enough, this step immediately stirred the brown bear’s nerves. Its roar became fiercer and more uneasy.

However, to Wang Hu’s surprise, it didn’t take the initiative to rush up again. It just stood in place, constantly showing its teeth and claws.

Wang Hu was a little surprised. It was forced to this level, and yet it hadn’t attacked him madly.

However, it was nothing much—never underestimate an animal’s wisdom. Those two attacks clearly woke it up and used the most powerful way to deal with it.

Standing in place to meet the enemy…

Preparing for a while, not continuing to wait…

The bear might be injured, and it seemed to be good for this bear to hold on. The bear’s endurance was extremely terrifying, and he did not want to waste time to avoid changes in its behavior.

He tentatively stepped forward again, growling as he was full of murderous intent.

The brown bear roared and took a step back.

Wang Hu continued to move forward, and the brown bear continued to retreat.

After a few meters, the brown bear finally stopped retreating as if being forced into a desperate situation. The crazy and tyrannical bear reached a peak, and it wanted to fight to the death.

Wang Hu saw that it didn’t take the initiative to attack, and so he started to launch one.

He had dealt with many brown bears during the past ten years and was very clear that there was actually no obvious difference in strength between brown bears and tigers.

The main bargaining chip for victory or defeat was the weight of both parties.

When they were roughly the same, they would not try to face off unless it was a last resort.

Under normal circumstances—even if there was a winner, it would be injured. The gain would be outweighed by the loss.

The best way for the brown bears to deal with tigers was to stay and defend where they were.

That was because—while it had huge strength—its speed, agility, and weapons were not comparable to tigers.

Staying in place and relying on their own strength and endurance to deal with tigers… was to use their strengths to attack the enemy’s shortcomings and maximize their advantages.

Just like what this brown bear was doing now.

Just that… how did tigers deal with brown bears?

They must also play to their strengths.

When they had no absolute advantage in terms of weight, strength, speed, and agility; the tiger would use the weapons they had at their disposal.

Tigers had too many advantages—such as nerve response, jumping power, explosive power, balance power, and so on—when compared with brown bears.

It could be said that the tiger was a weapon, born for combat.

The tigers could only display their own advantages in battle.

He could not be anxious while dealing with brown bears, let alone think about victory or defeat with one blow.

He could only slowly grind the brown bear to death in battle, and it was best to let the bear initiate the move.

However, this bear was not moving now. Wang Hu, who did not want to continue waiting, naturally took the initiative to attack and slowly grind his opponent to death.

On the other hand, the real fighting would only really begin now.

Roar~!

He inched closer with his forelimbs reached out, all sharp claws showing.

Roar!

As soon as the claws approached, the brown bear moved its hands and slammed down, biting at anything with its huge mouth.

Wang Hu’s paws were swiftly retracted, but he attacked continuously like lightning. His entire body was completely used in the next attack when he lured the brown bear to take a bite.

Roar~!

Roar~!

The two behemoth creatures were entangled in a blink of an eye, roaring again and again—snow flying and trees trembling.

Everything happened extremely fast, especially Wang Hu’s movements. His huge body was incredibly sensitive, and his movements could not be clearly seen by ordinary eyes.

The only things that could be seen were that he attacked far more than the grizzly bear did and had a clear advantage.

Twenty seconds later, Wang Hu took the initiative to retreat, catch his breath, and recover.

Looking towards the grizzly bear, there were a lot of wounds all over its body. Blood was pouring like a fountain from the two wounds on its shoulders.

Wang Hu was still satisfied. He should be able to completely determine the winner after a few more strikes. This bear was dead.

He attacked again after half a minute.

The completely enraged grizzly bear was terrifying, but it was powerless when matched again Wang Hu now.

The intelligent Wang Hu had been honed for nearly ten years, reached an incredible level of fighting skills, and fully demonstrated it using his powerful body.

Coupled with the injury at the beginning, the ending of this battle had been decided.

After more than twenty minutes, the grizzly bear fell completely. Wang Hu bit its neck from behind and pressed it to the ground.

The outcome was here.

In another few minutes, Wang Hu shook its head to make sure that the grizzly bear was dead. Only then did his mouth release it and gasp for breath.

It was very exhausting, facing such a powerful enemy even though he was not injured.

He wouldn’t have cared if it was not necessary since its body weight was not within his hunting range.

Unfortunately, the tiger cub and a home were his everything. He pinned his hope on it.

He would never allow any accident to happen so he could only have the bear die.

He had lost compassion a long time ago.

In nature, the law was being full.

Roar~!

A loud and leisure whistle sounded as he lifted his head, slowly radiating the pride and fighting spirit in his heart. It was none of his business if any beasts were shocked by this whistle.

He lowered his head and ate some bear meat. When he was full, he rested for a while and was ready to leave.

The first goal was solved, and then it was time for the second one.

However, he had to send some food back first.

Following the cold wind, he left without any emotions, not caring much about the hundreds of kilograms of meat that were absolutely treasures to the beasts of nature.

It took another day to go back to the cave without rest. He caught a small antelope and sent it to the outside of the silly girl’s cave.

He watched as she threw away the food he gave her and left in depression.

Next, after a day’s rest, he wandered through the mountains and plains again.

Wang Hu had intellect and a lot of free time as well. He not only knew his place well, but he also knew where the strong opponents were.

He even looked for their caves because he was bored.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to find the grizzly bear’s cave.

That was why he must bring the silly girl back to his turf to give birth.

With his strength, he could grab a large piece of land at will, but he would not understand that piece of land too much.

He had greater confidence in protecting the silly girl and his unborn child only in his territory that he understood well.

A month passed in the blink of his eye.

He delivered meat once every two days, and he spent the rest of his time finding targets and hunting.

This was how he led his life this month. Wang Hu’s sleeping time had been compressed to the extreme.

However, surprisingly, he didn’t feel any tiredness, only a kind of fulfillment.

He had never felt fulfilled and full of energy every day after becoming a tiger.

He felt particularly vigorous shuttling through the mountains and forests.

As usual, it was meal delivery time once every two days. The prey was placed at the entrance of the cave, and he ran a short distance to hide.

He hid far away at first, but later, it became clear that the silly girl must know it was him so he didn’t hide that far anymore.

Soon, the familiar figure came out.

Wang Hu stared at her belly tightly, not knowing if it was an illusion, but he felt that this silly girl’s belly was a little bigger.

Another reason for not hiding so far was to look at her belly.

There were a smile and softness in his eyes. He wasn’t even angry when the silly girl threw away his kindness again.

He believed that, sooner or later, this silly girl would definitely eat the food that he sent.

That sounded so sincere and noble.

Sooner or later…

He secretly encouraged himself as he watched the silly girl enter the cave before turning around to leave.

He suddenly felt a little inexplicable guilty conscience as he walked away.

Am I a lickspittle1?

He looked around, his mouth downturned and his eyes slightly guilty.

It shouldn’t be. They are my wife and child. Being good to my wife and child is natural and righteous. How could I be a lickspittle?

Yes, definitely not.

Lickspittling was liking something you can’t get and cannot be yours.

How could I be a lickspittle if the silly girl was my wife carrying my child?

I’m a good tiger; how could a lickspittle be compared to me? He hated lickspittles the most during his last life.

He could be called, um, licking tiger, but ‘licking tiger’ was not a derogatory term. It was a commendatory term.

It was a commendation to a good tiger.

He successfully corrected the concept and thought, and a new word was created.

Wang Hu’s footsteps were more powerful now. He found traces of his new target recently and had the confidence to resolve the opponent in two days.
