It's an animal.
Chi Yuyang grabbed the blunt-headed scissor and made a defensive posture.
"Aowoo..." The voice outside the cave became weaker and weaker.
After a long while, the voice finally stopped.
Chi Yuyang still didn't dare to breathe, for fear that the beast outside would suddenly come in.
Time passed by, and Chi Yuyang saw that there was no movement outside. She guessed that the beast might have left.
At this time, her legs were weak, and she had difficulty even standing.
She can't go deeper into the cave to escape. Not to mention, she's still facing the problem of water sources.
She originally planned to go to the stream to see if the water is potable.
So, Chi Yuyang touched the walls of the cave and slowly walked to the entrance relying on her willpower.
She tried to poke her head out.
But there was a strong smell of blood.
Chi Yuyang was so scared she immediately retracted her head.
As a veterinarian, Chi Yuyang is sensitively aware that this beast should have been injured.
And according to the cry just now, this beast shouldn't have reached adulthood.
Or maybe it was hurt too badly, and the voice was weaker than usual.
Summarizing it all, it shouldn't cause her harm for the time being.
She hesitated for a moment but her professional instinct finally defeated her reason.
She picked up the toolbox and tiptoed towards the entrance.
With the help of the faint sunlight, she saw a white hairball lying on the ground when she was still at the entrance of the cave.
Its color was snowy white, and it looked like a Persian cat from a distance.
The difference is that there are several black stripes on the hairball.
Chi Yuyang had a vague guess in her heart.
When Chi Yuyang walked a few steps away from it, she confirmed her thoughts.
This is a tiger cub.
It seems that the specie is the Bengal white tiger, which is a first-class protected animal.
Chi Yuyang naturally knew that wild white tigers were extremely rare.
She didn't have time to think much about it, and immediately stepped forward to check its injuries.
After approaching, she found that the hairball had lost consciousness.
The most conspicuous thing is that there is a long and narrow wound on its abdomen.
The blood began to spread from this position, exuding a pungent fishy smell.
Chi Yuyang looked around, except where the hairball was, she didn't see any blood stains.
She frowned, and a suspicion flashed in her heart.
From which direction this hairball came, it did not even leave a trace on the ground.
However, the hairball was seriously injured, and Chi Yuyang brushed this thought off.
If the wound is not treated in time, it's very likely to be infected in this kind of environment.
Chi Yuyang was thankful that she did not throw away her toolbox on the road.
At the same time, because she has seen several cases of cat injuries in the pet hospital, she has dealt with it several times by herself.
So, the process of cleaning, disinfecting, applying medicine, and bandaging the wound was done in one go.
When she finished all this, the little hairball remained motionless.
Fortunately, it wasn't conscious at this moment, otherwise Chi Yuyang would not be able to treat it smoothly.
There are no narcotics in her toolbox.
Chi Yuyang struggled to pick up the little hairball, carrying the toolbox, and returning to the cave.
She spread her coat on the ground, and then put the little hairball on it.
Looking at the cub in front of her, even if she knew the tiger's cruel nature, Chi Yuyang couldn't help but touch its furry head a few times.
Anyway, it hasn't woken up yet.
While it was still asleep, Chi Yuyang touched its tail from its head, not letting it go.
After all, the chance of touching a tiger cub, or a rare white tiger, doesn't happen very often.
Looking at the white dumpling in front of her, Chi Yuyang decided to name it Tuantuan.
Although she has just checked that the cub is male, ignoring the black stripes on its body, the cub looks like an enlarged version of glutinous rice dumplings.
At this time, Chi Yuyang calmed down and discovered that Tuantuan seemed to be slightly different from the Bengal white tiger she knew.
There are few black stripes on its body, especially when Chi Yuyang ignored those black stripes when she first saw it.
Except for the black coloration on Tuantuan's head, the other parts are pure white.
And there are only four black stripes on its body.
The white tiger is originally caused by the mutation of Bengal tiger gene, maybe the number of stripes is one of the results of the mutation.
Chi Yuyang explained the abnormality to herself.
Tuantuan's breathing is also much smoother than before.
After being busy, she picked up the biscuit she set aside and gnawed on it.
The biscuits were quickly resolved but Chi Yuyang still felt very hungry, so she took out the bread from the plastic bag again.
In fact, if she didn't expend physical effort to rescue the cub just now, a box of biscuits would be enough to support Chi Yuyang, who always have little appetite, for a while.
She can only comfort herself that the shelf life of bread isn't long, and eating it late is tantamount to wasting it.
Seeing that Tuantuan had no signs of waking up, Chi Yuyang walked out of the cave again.
First, she cleaned up the blood stains left over just now, and then went to the stream to get some water.
The lotus leaf-like plants she saw before are just right to use for holding water.
The premise is that the plant is not poisonous.
Chi Yuyang still didn't know anything about the current situation, so she have to do things quickly.
Compared with the human traces she found before, the beasts are more threatening to her.
Calculating the snacks she saved inside the plastic bag, it would only last her five days.
Food is also a problem.
Chi Yuyang later realized that there were no fish swimming in this stream.
'What the hell is going on in this place?'
—
During the time that Chi Yuyang left, the hairball in the cave opened its eyes.
In Chi Yuyang's view, it has lost consciousness, but in fact it is just preserving its physical strength.
At this time, Chi Yuyang didn't know that she had come to the World of Beastmen or Orcs.
And this hairball is not an ordinary tiger cub, but an orc of the Tiger tribe, named Hu Jin.
This is his animal state.
Speaking of, the remaining strength of his body after failing his ascension was not enough to support him in maintaining his adult form, and became a cub instead.
When Chi Yuyang returned to the cave, she saw the tiger cub she rescued sniffing the plastic bag where she put cat food.
"Tuantuan, you are awake." Chi Yuyang cried out excitedly.
'Tuantuan? Is she calling me?'
Hu Jin knows that the female in front of him rescued him, but it doesn't mean that she can name himself at will.
He wailed a few times, trying to tell Chi Yuyang its name.
Chi Yuyang came over and rubbed Tuantuan's head, "Tuantuan, are you hungry?"
The cub in front her with big round eyes glanced at Chi Yuyang.
Hu Jin didn't like his head being touched, but he won't care about it for the time being because this female saved him.
However, this female doesn't understand the language of the tiger race, and she seems to be from another race.
But this is his territory, and he doesn't understand how can a foreign female enter this area.
While Hu Jin was observing Chi Yuyang, Chi Yuyang discovered that the cub actually had a pair of breathtaking heterochromia eyes.
One is as blue and clear as the sky, and the other is as deep and verdant as jasper.
It looks like the eyes of a Persian cat.
In Chi Yuyang's eyes, its gaze was far cuter than deterrence.
At this time Hu Jin noticed the water that Chi Yuyang brought back.
He was indeed very thirsty, and after a symbolic cry at Chi Yuyang, it stretched its paw towards the lotus leaf.
Chi Yuyang was just about to stop him thinking that this plant might be poisonous, and then she thought that this tiger lived here, and he should know more about the plant than she did.
She looked at Tuantuan drinking water and also became thirsty, so she took out the mineral water bottle and drank it.
Now the water source problem has been solved.
The stream water is fresh, and seeing Tuantuan gulp at the water, it shows that the water is drinkable.
Hu Jin looked back and saw that the female was holding an oval transparent container in her hand, which he had never seen before.
Chi Yuyang saw Tuantuan staring at the mineral water bottle in her hand after drinking the water, thinking it hadn't quenched his thirst yet.
"Tuantuan, I'll go to the creek to get some water later. You should eat something to replenish your energy fisrt."
After speaking, she took the cat food out of the plastic bag.
Tigers are also cats, so they should be able to eat cat food.
In Chi Yuyang's view, this area is very barren, and she can hardly solve the food problem, so she can only let Tuantuan eat cat food for a while.
She opened the bag of cat food, took out a handful in her palm, and stretched it out in front of Tuantuan.
Hu Jin saw it and sniffed He hesitated for a moment but still didn't eat.
It was the first time Hu Jin saw this kind of food, but he judged it was edible.
It smells quite tempting.
It's just that the female's feeding posture makes him feel uncomfortable.
As one of the best orcs in the tiger clan, Hu Jin thinks that he must maintain the dignity of a male even if he is injured.
Never accept being fed by a female.
Seeing Tuantuan's rejection, Chi Yuyang blinked her innocent eyes.
'Could it be that tigers really don't eat cat food?'
In her professional knowledge, tigers can eat cat food.
And the brand of this cat food is pretty good.
Hu Jin was about to continue holding his noble head high, but his stomach feels opposite, and at this moment, it let out a rumble.
When Chi Yuyang heard the tiger cub's stomach rumbling in front of her, she couldn't help laughing.
She hugged Tuantuan in her arms with one hand, and the other hand held the cat food close to its mouth.
"Eat, you see that your stomach is screaming. Eating can also help restore your body if you are full."
Seeing the female's imposing movement, Hu Jin wanted to struggle, but he didn't have any strength to do it.
'Humph, I'm only accepting your food for my quick recovery.
No big deal, in the future he's going to hunt few more animals as a reward.
Looking at this female's small body, she must have a difficult time finding food.'
Hu Jin thought so.
After comforting himself, he began to enjoy the food with peace of mind.
He opened his mouth and motioned Chi Yuyang to pour the cat food into his mouth.
'What a lazy tiger.'
Although Chi Yuyang complained in her heart, she actually complied with Tuantuan and poured cat food into his mouth.
Her original intention was to let Tuantuan lick it by herself.
However, considering the barbs on the tiger's tongue, even if the cub hasn't made any threatening actions to her now, she still needs to guard against it.
Although Chi Yuyang's instinct as a veterinarian tells her that Tuantuan would not hurt her.
Seeing Tuantuan enjoying the cat food, Chi Yuyang grabbed a large handful and spread it on her coat. She put Tuantuan back on the ground while she went to fetch some water from the stream.
Hu Jin suddenly left Chi Yuyang's embrace, feeling a little strange, he raised his head and screamed.
He wasn't sure whether Chi Yuyang can understand him or not.
"I'll get some water again." Chi Yuyang didn't understand the animal language but she felt that the cub was very spiritual and seemed to understand her.
"aowoo." Then you go and come back quickly.
Seeing that Chi Yuyang had something to do, Hu Jin's previous emotions suddenly dissipated, and he continued to enjoy the food in front of him.
'This thing is unexpectedly delicious.'
Before leaving, Chi Yuyang didn't forget to stroke the hair on Tuantuan's body.
"I'm just fixing it, let me stroke it for you."
The cub only screamed as an answer.
With inexplicable enjoyment.
