Su Chen heard the footsteps of the wild boars as soon as he entered the forest.
“Ding dong! You have successfully checked in in the forest and gained the ability to communicate with animals!”
“System, does this mean that if I meet a tiger, a bear, or a leopard in the forest, I can talk to them first instead of running? If they want to eat me, can I reason with them?!”
“Host, this skill doesn’t require you to make a sound. You only need to use your mind to communicate with the animals. However, it’s only limited to the animals on Earth. Ding!”
The system’s voice ceased.
Su Chen continued to walk deeper into the forest. The footprints on the ground were increasing.
There was a particular set of footprints that attracted Su Chen’s attention. He compared it with his own feet.
It was almost twice the size of his own feet.
‘Such a big footprint. Could it be a bear?’
After giving it a little more thought, Su Chen felt that the footprint was actually smaller than a bear’s footprint.
Since it was winter. Bears should be hibernating.
First, it was the wild boars. Now, it was the bears. These animals should be asleep but instead, they were up and about.
“Woof woof! Woof woof! Woof woof woof!”
A series of hysterical barks broke the silence in the forest.
‘Why can I hear dogs’ barks in such a deep forest?’
Su Chen was curious and approached the direction of the sound.
…
Meanwhile, deep in the forest, there was a ranger guard’s room.
A police officer named Xiao Li was on duty.
The sentry’s pavilion was surrounded by glass windows. The lower half was opaque and blocked by building materials.
He was studying hard, preparing for the internal assessment in a few months.
Suddenly, the two hunting dogs in the yard start barking.
“Woof woof! Woof woof!”
‘Are the dogs hungry again? No, they were fed only half an hour ago. Stop barking. It’s annoying!’
Xiao Li could not be bothered to go out, so he only complained in his heart.
Who knew it would work. The dogs actually stopped barking and became silent.
Shortly after, he heard a knocking sound.
At first, he thought was mistaken and heard wrong. However, the sound became louder and louder.
“Big back, little black, stop fooling around! I’m busy!”
Xiao Li could not stand it anymore. He opened the glass window nearby and stuck his head out.
Before he could even say anything, he made eye contact with a pair of shining blue eyes that belonged to a beast!
Xiao Li was so scared that his whole body trembled. His legs became weak and he almost fell down.
Then, he got a clearer look at the beast. It had a furry head, a huge body, and a long tail that swayed in the air.
It was a tiger!
He noticed the tiger was staring at him.
Its two thick claws were pressed forward.
The tiger was in a ready-to-attack stance.
Xiao Li’s neck and his entire back were completely exposed.
Even though the tiger’s brown and black striped fur was thick, Xiao Li could still see its muscles.
He looked at its bloody mouth. There were a few fangs about three inches long and an inch thick.
The tiger’s saliva was still flowing.
Xiao Li was speechless for a moment. It was as if someone was strangling his throat.
“Roar!”
The fierce tiger looked at the frightened man in front of him and let out a tentative roar.
Its roar was accompanied by an unpleasant smell.
Xiao Li was so frightened that he hurriedly rushed back into the room and shouted loudly, “There’s a tiger here! Someone come and help me!”
Upon hearing his outcry, five police officers quickly rushed to his aid.
