Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

"Strange, where did the wolf pack go?"

Wang Yuyu's eyes were full of doubt, her tail swishing gently. "I haven't patrolled this area for more than half a month, how come the wolf pack has disappeared?"

He looked up into the distance, his gaze sweeping across the dense jungle, his doubts deepening: "Could it be that we encountered some powerful predator and were driven away?"

Upon thinking of this, Wang Yuyu's pupils contracted slightly, and her mood instantly became serious, with a touch more vigilance.

"But the wolf pack isn't weak either. They're numerous, and in these mountains and forests, besides me, what predator could easily drive them away?"

"That's strange, where did the wolf pack go? They couldn't have just vanished into thin air, could they?"

He stood on the mountaintop for a while longer, scanning the wolf pack's territory repeatedly, but still found no trace of any wolves. In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly, turn around and head down the mountain to continue his patrol.

"Ugh! I hope it's not what I'm thinking, otherwise we'll have to fight again! So annoying!"

Meanwhile, in what was originally the wolf pack's territory—the unclaimed land left behind after Wang Yu killed the black bear—two young tigers were traveling together.

These two tigers are a brother and sister who were just driven out of their territory by their mother this year. They are now wandering around, looking for a new home of their own.

The older brother, slightly larger and with brighter fur, had a steady gaze and always walked in front.

The younger sister, slightly smaller and with softer features, followed closely behind her brother.

It must be said that this brother and sister are extremely lucky.

Their mother's territory happened to be adjacent to the black bear's territory.

When Wang Yu killed the black bear in one fell swoop, this territory became unclaimed land.

As winter passed, the scent markings left by the black bear had long since faded and become barely perceptible.

Furthermore, the black bear had only recently awakened from hibernation when it was dealt with by Wang Yuyu. It didn't even have time to re-inspect its territory or establish new scent markers, so this fertile forest became an unclaimed "piece of meat."

After being kicked out of their home by their mother, the brother and sister barged directly into this territory.

However, they did not expect that this seemingly unclaimed territory had already been targeted by a pack of wolves expanding their territory, and the two sides soon clashed.

If there is only one young tiger, the wolf pack might still fight it off due to their numerical advantage, and even force the tiger to retreat.

But it was precisely because two tigers joined forces that even though the wolf pack was the largest in this mountain forest, they could only back down and give up the "fat meat" that was within their grasp when faced with two young tigers fighting together.

All I can say is that this pack of wolves is incredibly unlucky.

He had gone to great lengths to lure Wang Yuyu, intending to use a "tiger-swallowing-bear" tactic to eliminate the black bear through Wang Yuyu and then seize the opportunity to take over the territory.

In the end, it was all for naught. All their hard work turned out to be a huge loss for the tiger siblings who had just left the beginner village. They became the biggest winners.

The spring sunshine was especially warm, and the brother and sister came to a lush patch of grass and snuggled together.

The older brother lowered his head and gently licked his younger sister's head and back with his warm tongue.

The younger sister nestled obediently against her brother, occasionally nuzzling his neck and sticking out her little tongue to gently lick his tiger fur, enjoying this rare warmth and companionship.

This is one of the few times they can still spend every day together.

Once his sister has established herself in the mountains adjacent to their mother and built her own territory, the brother must once again embark on a journey of wandering, leaving this place to go to more distant mountains and forests to find his own territory.

For the rest of their lives, separated by mountains and rivers, they may never have the chance to meet again.

After resting on the grass for a while, the brother and sister slowly stood up. The brother walked ahead, cautiously scanning his surroundings, while the sister followed closely behind.

The two siblings strolled slowly toward where Wang Yuyu was.

Meanwhile, Wang Yuyu had been on patrol for most of the day and was gradually getting tired.

He found a sunny patch of grass, lay down comfortably, his belly pressed against the soft grass, basking in the warm sunlight, all his muscles relaxed, feeling lazy and content.

He shoved his paw and pulled the small ball that he had previously tossed aside to his side, and began to play with it.

With a gentle nudge of his paw, the little ball rolled away with a "gurgling" sound, and came to a steady stop after rolling a distance.

It then automatically adjusted its shape, slowly returning to its original form, always maintaining the camera's exit facing upwards, faithfully facing him.

Watching this scene, Wang Yuyu's amber eyes crinkled with even greater joy. She gently swept her tail across the ground, tirelessly playing with the ball again and again, just like a child who had found a new and exciting toy, thoroughly enjoying herself.

Meanwhile, at the research base, the researcher responsible for monitoring Wang Yuyu in real time was hunched over his computer, watching the scrolling images, and couldn't help but yawn.

He turned to his colleague, who was organizing data, and complained, somewhat bored, "The iron rice bowl is back in action!"

His colleague, without even looking up, said matter-of-factly, "He's dribbling the ball again!"

"This guy, he spends all day sleeping and eating, he's more carefree than us."

"That's right!" The researcher nodded, looking at Wang Yuyu's big nose on the screen, and smiled helplessly. "They walk and stop, and get tired after only a short time on each patrol. They need to rest for three or four hours at a time."

"He sleeps for more than ten hours a day! I really don't know where he gets so much sleepiness; he can sleep even more than a pig!"

His colleague looked up, smiled at him, and said with a teasing tone, "Aren't all tigers like that?"

"He's nocturnal and loves to sleep. You've been monitoring him for so long, haven't you gotten used to it yet?"

"Sigh, I can't get used to it!" The researcher shook his head with a smile, his gaze returning to the screen. "It's better when he's walking around and patrolling; you can see the scenery in the mountains and forests."

"Whenever he stops playing ball or sleeping, there's only a big tiger head on the screen, and it gets a bit boring after a while."

"Hehehe, you!" His colleague chuckled, then lowered his head again and focused on his work.

The researcher also turned his attention back to his work, staring at the large, furry tiger head on the computer screen.

…………

A few days later, Wang Yuyu remained in the area, stubbornly searching for the reason why the wolf pack had disappeared.

For him, the mysterious disappearance of the wolf pack was no small matter; he could not sleep soundly until he found the root cause.

This mountain forest is his territory, and unknown enemies or potential threats lurk nearby. As the king of the forest, how could he possibly be at ease?
