The tracking device on Three-Five-Five’s body directly shared her location with Lin Undercover, as they had already exchanged contact information and could use this more discreet method of alerting the authorities—
[Poachers are conducting a transaction on the mountain. Three-Five-Five is chasing them. No firearms detected. Location is on Three-Five-Five’s collar.]
Lin Undercover, who was halfway through driving: “…!?”
He continued rushing toward Zhangshan Mountain while instructing the others who had contacted him earlier to either descend the mountain or head to Qingshan Temple. He also notified his colleagues and told Long Zai, “Time to work, we’re on overtime.”
Long Zai, who thought they were going out to eat: “Meow?”
Meanwhile, Chu Tingwu followed the scent and circled around to the side peak of Zhangshan Mountain. There was a rugged trail here that only experienced hikers would take, with each step barely half the width of a normal foot. After a new path had been opened, this one had been abandoned, with a simple fence blocking it not far away. But now, the wind was still, the trees were silent, and even the birds seemed to have stopped chirping. Fresh claw marks were visible on the trees.
Chu Tingwu stepped onto the trunk of a tree on the side of the cliff, her other foot hooking onto a branch above. The tree beneath her swayed slightly under her weight. She took a deep breath, and the feeling of being on edge slowly faded, replaced by a sense of anticipation as a breeze blew past—
The Level 1 genetic inheritance skill told her that below was a creature five times her size: a wild Siberian tiger.
It was indeed possible for a Siberian tiger to grow that large, and the Level 1 intuition skill told her that this tiger was still a juvenile, with a faint milky scent that hadn’t completely faded.
…If Niu Niu were here, she’d probably understand why such a large cub was still considered a juvenile, since this Siberian tiger was also just a cub.
Lost in thought, Chu Tingwu smiled silently.
She had faced beasts in her dream training sessions, but those weren’t real animals. She had also fought a wild wolf before, but that wolf was intelligent and followed the rules of the wild. It wasn’t like the creature below, which felt anxious, restless, and ready to attack anything it saw—possibly even injured.
So, she decided to handle the more threatening Siberian tiger herself, while the trained mother cat, Three-Five-Five, could easily deal with a few unarmed humans.
Chu Tingwu thought: Even if she couldn’t control the Siberian tiger, she needed to track its location, keep up with it in the mountains, and alert the police and the temple in time.
Following a tiger in the mountains without getting hurt—she figured she was probably the only one nearby who could do that.
But she was still a little nervous.
The bushes below rustled, and a yellow-and-black paw appeared.
Then half a rear end, and finally, a tiger’s head emerged from the weeds.
It let out a soft “ow.”
Chu Tingwu: “…”
It let out another “ow,” its ear wound no longer bleeding, but it clearly looked both pitiful and hungry.
The System: “…”
Chu Tingwu: “…”
The System: “Actually, I wanted to remind you earlier…”
Cub, your genetic inheritance skill is based on a cat’s size. As for the tiger below, it’s indeed five times the size of a cat—because it’s only three months old!
