Chapter 315 A Familiar Yet Unfamiliar Scent
110 days after birth.
"Big White! Well done! Keep it up! Go for another spin outside!"
Yi Chen gently patted the giant whale's back, then stood up and shouted.
We've been at this beach for five days now.
This beach, suitable for fishing and hunting, is not very wide, only about four or five kilometers long.
Based on the experience from that previous coastline, the probability of catching animals here is now ridiculously low, and even the rate of hooking them is several times slower.
However, the giant whale that Bai Jue named "Da Bai" was very intelligent.
After seeing that humans couldn't catch any fish, it quickly realized that all the fish in the area had been caught.
Thus, with its enormous size and absolute dominance in the ocean, it drove the more distant marine animals to the nearshore waters where Cang Nian and his companions were located.
In this way, new schools of fish are constantly replenished, and the total amount of prey here is maintained at a relatively high level, which can then be attracted by fishing rods.
However, this method can only drive away large schools of fish and shrimp.
Those lone wolves in the ocean can avoid being chased by the giant white elephant.
This is why the total number of prey has not decreased significantly, but the proportion of third-tier prey has decreased somewhat.
However, this did not have a significant impact on Cang Nian.
After all, he could easily go hunting in the depths of the ocean.
However, it is not so friendly to the evolved beings in the migrating procession.
Even for a third-tier evolved being, the human body structure cannot withstand prolonged immersion in cold seawater; rapid hypothermia can easily lead to sudden death.
Unable to fish in the deep sea far from the coast, Qin Changyi felt embarrassed to let Cangnian's family share their third-tier prey.
So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, they will have to continue their southward migration in two days.
Yi Chen, on the other hand, proposed a method that would allow the migrating caravans to also receive some Tier 3 prey.
That is to have the third-tier evolvers use the giant whale, Da Bai, as a large ship, and then be taken by Da Bai to sea areas far from the coastline.
Then, everyone casts their lines together to fish, attracting evolving creatures.
However, the Great White's skin is too smooth to carry its prey on its back.
Of course, you could let the big white dog carry the prey.
However, even a third-tier prey is the highest standard of food for Big White, so it swallowed it without realizing it.
This is an instinct that cannot be resisted.
It's a bit cruel to put a giant whale in the mouth when it can resist eating the fatty meat right next to its mouth.
Therefore, the Tier 3 prey caught while fishing on the back of the giant white dog can only be stored in the little sable's storage space.
As for the first and second tiers, and those edible marine plants, they were either eaten by the Great White and the Black King Snake, or they had to be thrown away.
Therefore, to fish for the giant white fish, you need to give up ordinary prey.
Therefore, this method of fishing could not become the mainstream hunting method for humans.
After all, there are still a million mouths to feed, so it's impossible to only have third-tier prey.
For this reason, only a few people go hunting at sea each time they ride the Great White.
This would greatly improve the efficiency of Cangnian's family in hunting third-tier prey, and Cangnian was happy to share a small portion of the harvest with humans.
There's no reason to refuse something that benefits everyone.
Most of the fishing rods are still left on the shore, mainly to obtain first and second-tier prey, as well as various edible marine plants, as a food guarantee for the main force.
Although the gains of the previous few days far exceeded everyone's expenditure.
But people who have experienced hunger always feel that they don't have enough food stored up.
Now that the temperature is cold and seafood is naturally salty, people can boil it in seawater to extract coarse salt and then process it to make dried fish that is easy to store and doesn't take up much space.
When you need to eat, just throw the dried fish into the pot, cook it, and you'll have a pot of delicious hot soup. Soak some dried biscuits in the soup and eat it to relieve the fatigue of the day.
In order to survive, and in order to live better, everyone is doing what they can.
A day later, the little sable's previously empty storage space was almost full of third-tier prey.
"Ow~!"
Seeing that it was getting late, Cangnian let out a howl at Dabai.
Ying~!
Hearing Cang Nian's howl, Da Bai let out a clear and melodious cry and happily swam towards the shore where the main force was.
Big White has a strong learning ability. In just a few days, it was able to understand the language of the Dragon Kingdom, as well as the meanings of the calls of the Cang Nian family and even the little sable and ferret.
More than an hour later, Cangnian and his group returned to the shore with their loot.
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...
But then, Cang Nian twitched the tip of his nose twice.
"Hmm...it feels like a familiar yet strange feeling...and it's very mixed..."
Cang Nian frowned, somewhat puzzled.
Woohoo...
Meanwhile, the tiger parents, who had just come ashore with Cangnian, were extremely nervous. Their fur, which they had just shaken dry, stood on end as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Huh~?"
Seeing that the tiger parents seemed to have sensed the meaning in the air, Cang Nian tilted his head and asked.
Awooooo~!
Seeing Cangnian's question, Tiger Dad's expression became extremely serious, and he roared as he explained to Cangnian.
"Does this mean...the same kind? Are there tigers of the same kind?"
After hearing Tiger Dad's explanation, Cangnian was slightly taken aback.
It's been a long time since I last encountered a tiger.
Whether it's because tigers are too rare, or because of the devastation caused by that poacher team before the spiritual energy revival, Cang Nian has encountered no more than two tigers since then, including his own family.
That's why he wasn't sensitive to the smell of tigers.
But Tiger Dad is different. Although he has only recently come of age, he is already over three years old and has seen many tigers.
Adult male Siberian tigers are especially sensitive to other male Siberian tigers trespassing into their territory.
Therefore, the tiger dad reacts instinctively and bristles when he senses a similar scent.
The same goes for Tiger Moms.
If the mother tiger senses the presence of a male tiger from outside the area, she will instinctively assume that the tiger is trying to steal her mating rights and kill her cubs.
However, upon seeing Cangnian and Tiger Brother, who were already much bigger than herself, Tiger Mom was no longer so afraid.
If their own cubs are this powerful, any other tiger that tries to steal their mother will be beaten to a pulp!
The tiger dad, still on guard, was completely unaware that the tiger mom had placed all her sense of security in the cub.
At that moment, Cangnian suddenly turned his head toward the cliff face to the north!
Although the sea breeze was blowing towards the shore, the other party was downwind, making it difficult for him to judge by smell.
But now, he has pinpointed the direction of those mixed, similar scents!
Within seconds, a series of ferocious beasts covered in black, orange, and white striped fur emerged from behind the cliff, their eyes looking down at Cang Nian's family.
