Chapter 5 White Tiger
Kunlun, the western border of China.
The altitude of the Kunlun Mountains is extremely high, and the mountainous terrain stretches for 2,500 kilometers, making the natural environment here very harsh.
The highest temperature here in summer is only 25°C, and it can reach below zero at night.
This is China's natural barrier to resist foreign enemies.
Jiang Yize stepped forward step by step in the thick snow.
The sky and the earth were pale, and the mountains in the distance revealed their gray and black ridges, looking dead.
It's not quite a wilderness, but it's still sparsely populated.
Because even mutant beasts don't want to stay in this place where birds don't poop.
Jiang Yize set out from Jinling and rode on Qiongqi all the way west.
After diagonally crossing countless cities and traveling long distances, we finally arrived at this area.
Originally, Jiang Yize was directly planning to reach the top of the Kunlun Mountains.
Who would have thought that Qiongqi, who had flown all over China, would instantly become exhausted when he arrived here and refused to leave the city.
There seemed to be something in this area that triggered Qiongqi's memory. The endless fear made Qiongqi hide in his heart, curling up, and the hair on his body exploded.
Jiang Yize was a little strange. The dragon's teeth in his mouth didn't react.
This shows that there is no dirt or evil in this mountain range.
There is only one possibility, and that is that there is the aura of the person Qiongqi fears in the Kunlun Mountains.
Jiang Yize couldn't help but speculate:
"Could it be that the person Qiongqi is afraid of is my father?"
A memory flashed in Jiang Yize's mind:
In the third grade of elementary school, the school arranged for parents to take their children to the zoo. The children were asked to study an animal and then write a short essay describing the animal they observed.
Dad Jiang Shang happened to be free, so Jiang Yize went to the Hongshan Zoo in Jinling with him.
Hongshan Zoo is quite large and has all kinds of animals.
It was a rainy day and the animals didn't come out much.
Jiang Yize's idea of observing animals up close came to nothing.
Even when he is depressed and doesn't know how to hand in his homework. The father standing next to him suggested that he go to Hushan to have a look.
The Tiger Mountain at Red Mountain Zoo is very large, but in the rain, not a single tiger came out.
There are only two of them in Nuo Da Hushan.
His father's hand rested on his back, and he felt a hint of cold breath coming towards his face.
Somehow, the tiger lazily hiding from the rain came slowly from the depths of Tiger Mountain.
The leader was a large, eye-catching white tiger. The word "王" on the top of the white tiger's head was not very obvious on a rainy day, but when the beast came, Jiang Yize still felt a sense of oppression.
Jiang Yize, who is in the third grade, is probably no bigger than the top of his thigh.
If it weren't for the fence, Jiang Yize probably wouldn't be able to fill the gap between his teeth.
But what Jiang Yize didn't expect was that after the white tiger got close to Jiang Yize, it collapsed to the ground, unable to even stand up straight, and let out a low whimper.
Jiang Yize was a little stunned, but his father reminded him:
"Son, look, why are you so stunned? Don't miss such a good opportunity!"
Jiang Yize nodded and observed carefully for a long time.
During the observation process, there was a cold breath coming from his father's hand, which made Jiang Yize a little strange.
Could it be that dad is a little cold?
But looking at his father's energetic look, Jiang Yize didn't say anything.
Later, Jiang Yize's essay describing tigers did not get high marks.
The reason is that although he described the tiger's state clearly, the tiger's movements and demeanor were completely wrong.
The tiger is the king of the forest, how could he collapse to the ground?
The teacher even wondered if Jiang Yize had found a photo of a white tiger on the Internet and looked at it while writing his essay.
Fortunately, Jiang Yize also brought his ticket stub and photos of his trip to Hongshan Zoo, which made the teacher feel that he was not lazy.
The teacher just thought that maybe the white tiger was sick, which made Jiang Yize misunderstand the tiger's habits.
Later, Jiang Yize once saw a question on the Internet:
"Why do I see some people raising big dogs but no one raising big cats?"
Among the cats that most people keep, ragdolls are already considered a particularly large type, but their size is similar to that of small dogs.
The answer below is very concise:
"Because big cats are kept in zoos."
Yes, the fighting power of cats in nature is much higher than that of canines.
Lions and tigers are vying for the top spot on the list of beasts, while dogs are slightly behind.
Because there are leopards and others waiting in line behind the lions and tigers.
Even the gray wolf, the largest of the canidae family, cannot defeat the largest tiger.
Take the Tibetan Mastiff as an example. He is already the king among dogs.
The smallest among the tigers, the Sumatran tiger was sent to fight. Its bite force is about 478KG, while the maximum bite force of the Tibetan Mastiff is only 317KG.
In other words, if they are put together, as long as the Tibetan Mastiff shows a hint of hostility, the Sumatran tiger, the smallest among the tigers, can easily defeat the Tibetan Mastiff.
This is why many bloggers raising black panthers and lynxes are so popular online.
Because everyone is used to seeing big dogs, but if you keep a big cat as a pet, you may be in danger at any time.
After Jiang Yize understood the ferocity of cats, he once wanted to ask his father what happened to the white tiger.
But at that time, he had already gone to college, and his father was already in the days of digging graves all over the world... oh no, archeology.
His question was completely unanswered.
