This idea did not come up temporarily, Wang Yang thought about it for a long time.

Domesticating animals requires costs. The cost of raising a Smilodon is very high. It eats a lot of food a day, about the amount of food for three people.

None of the other small animals raised by Wang Yang could reach the food intake of the Smilodon tiger at the same ratio.

Not to mention these things, Wang Yang can ignore a little food.

What makes Wang Yang feel bad the most is that Smilodon is not in production.

If it does not produce anything and only consumes food, it is basically a loss-making business. What is the use of raising it?

If there was a female Smilodon nearby, Wang Yang might catch her and raise her together.

It's a pity that there is no other end nearby. In this case, it will be a matter of time before Smilodon is released. He will not plant a seed that will not germinate.

Wang Yang walked to the canyon and looked up at the sky. It was still early, the sun had just risen, and the sky was filled with burning clouds, which was very gorgeous.

You have to get up early to see such beautiful scenery. After all, the atmosphere in the evening is a bit gloomy. In the orange sunset, the air is a little anxious, not as fresh as in the morning.

The chicken coop was already crowing loudly, making a lot of noise, and everyone was getting up one after another. The friends were preparing to light a fire and barbecue, while the adults were sorting out tools and preparing to go hunting.

The drivers and others came from outside the canyon. They were on duty at night and patrolled for several hours. They were already a little tired and returned to the cave to rest and help their friends.

At this time, the adults who were organizing the tools had prepared the travel equipment and arranged them neatly.

The meat hadn't been roasted yet, so they took advantage of this free opportunity to come out and prepare to clean the little animals' houses with Wang Yang.

The tribe's work is arranged in an orderly manner, which is a habit that has been developed for a long time. Wang Yang did not deliberately ask them to do this. Wang Yang was very happy and proud of this.

Generally speaking, when everyone has finished roasting the meat, they have almost cleaned up, come back to eat, and then go out.

It only takes an hour or two, and the efficiency is excellent, every day.

At that time, the sun was also rising very high, and the forest was no longer damp and dark, making it suitable for people to move around.

Thinking about these seemingly ordinary things, Wang Yang was actually amazed.

But he didn't plan to clean up first today.

He called everyone over and drew his thoughts on the ground. The meaning of the drawing was very simple, let the tiger go back to the mountain.

His idea naturally aroused everyone's doubts. If it was going to be released, why not let it go earlier.

Wang Yang spread his hands. He couldn't explain the conditioned reflex to everyone, so he didn't bother to talk.

Everyone didn't have any opinions, they were just puzzled. During this more than a month of getting closer, the saber-toothed tiger gradually changed its surname and became no longer a stranger to everyone. Everyone dared to get close to it, hug it, and touch it.

Although I can't say that I have feelings for it, nor do I reject it, at least I'm not as aggressive as before, always thinking about eating its flesh.

"Look, if we continue to raise saber-toothed tigers, this will happen."

He first drew several pictures of chickens and a pile of food. The chickens grew up after eating, then mated and laid eggs, which people could eat.

Everyone nodded after looking at it. It made sense. They had seen this kind of thing so many times that there was no longer any barrier to understanding. It was their memory of seeing it.

Then he drew several pictures of Smilodon, a pile of food, Smilodon became fat after eating it, and then he squatted and pooped. People are not allowed to eat poop.

Everyone laughed and understood what it meant. It turned out that the saber-toothed tiger had no mate, so the food it fed was in vain.

Seeing that everyone was happy to understand, things became much simpler. He glanced at the saber-toothed tiger lying on the ground sleeping unconsciously, shook his head slightly, slapped it on the back, and said with a smile: "Get up.

I'll take you home."

The saber-toothed tiger was sleeping soundly when someone suddenly slapped him. His whole body trembled with fright. He roared and turned around. When he saw Wang Yang with a playful smile, he immediately succumbed.

To be honest, it lives quite boringly here. It doesn't have to do anything except eat, drink and poop every day, and it doesn't even need to mark its territory.

It's boring, but it really likes to live such a heartless life. Anyway, it doesn't have to worry about food, clothing, and care for it.

He made a gesture to the crowd, who lined up at the entrance of the cave, holding spears in hand, in case the saber-toothed tiger became free and became more ferocious.

The long-range weapon was put away by Wang Yang. He didn't want to see a look like the alpha wolf's last look again. It was too sad.

After touching the saber-tooth tiger, Wang Yang began to untie the rope from its thick palm.

It stared blankly, not understanding it, so it lost interest and lay there comfortably.

After a while, Wang Yang untied the ropes from its limbs and patted its back gently: "Okay, you are free."

Smilodon closed his eyes and moved his ears, but did not get up.

It can basically ignore everyone, and has become accustomed to everyone's strange behaviors. It doesn't feel uncomfortable when someone approaches it.

On the contrary, Wang Yang's action of helping it untie the rope made it feel very comfortable and enjoyable. It felt like the cells in the whole body were released.

It had no idea that Wang Yang was really helping him untie the rope. The rope that had been tied for many months was suddenly untied, and it would naturally feel very comfortable.

It didn't move. Wang Yang wiped his face wordlessly and patted its head.

It opened its eyes, turned its head, and growled slightly, reminding Wang Yang to get some raw meat and water as soon as he had enough.

Wang Yang couldn't laugh or cry, thinking that you forced me to do this, so he raised his hand and slapped the saber-toothed tiger on the butt.

The saber-toothed tiger trembled for a moment, then became furious, turned around, and put its face against Wang Yang's.

"Don't make trouble, look at your paws, and then look at this rope." Wang Yang said with a smile and pointed to the soles of its feet.

It lowered its head, looked at its paws, growled, and was a little confused, why didn't these paws look like its own?

It raised the soles of its feet and looked over it carefully. It felt that something was missing, so it stepped on the rope with its soles, which was much more pleasing to the eye.

Then it lay down again, as if thinking about something important, and suddenly it suddenly dawned on it. It climbed up and roared at the ropes that had imprisoned it for several months.

In its eyes, these ropes are indomitable old snakes. They are very tough and can bite them endlessly. They are like flames that defy the heavens.

It is not afraid of flames. That guy once surrounded its body and still couldn't burn it. And these snakes have only appeared recently and are inexplicably powerful. I haven't figured out a way to deal with them yet.

However, "they" are still like flames. They cannot consume themselves to death, but are consumed to death by themselves. It has to be said that this fact indirectly proves that they are powerful.

"Roar~" it roared angrily at these "creatures", its bastard energy was released, it was very proud and ferocious.

When everyone saw its funny look, they couldn't help laughing. Only it could demonstrate on the rope. It was not surprising to think that when it first came to the canyon, it screamed arrogantly at the flames for a long time.

.

This is true for all animals. In their eyes, flames should not be conceptual flames. They may very well regard them as jellyfish-like existences with invisible bodies, but if you touch them, you will feel the physical touch and burning.

Feel.

It is also possible that they regard the flames as venomous snakes. Those fires are poisonous and no good fruit will be eaten if they touch them.

There are countless examples like this. If you catch any animal at random and light a fire in front of it, they will make a cry. Some may be showing weakness, some may be bluffing.

It's okay to bark at the flames, but it's too weird to bark at the rope. Obviously, Smilodon himself doesn't think so.

It barked for a while, but there was no "response" from the rope, as if it was dead. It was still a little unwilling, and wanted to see what the other end of the rope was like, so that it could be prepared when it saw the rope in the future.

But it is also afraid that the rope is just tired and not dead. When it goes over to take a look, it will be entangled again.

It showed its thoughts very well. It raised its paw and patted the rope, then growled lowly, lowered its body and slowly backed away. It glanced hesitantly at the other end of the rope and wanted to go around it.

"Come on, there is a vast world outside, and you are free." Wang Yang urged again.

However, it was impossible for Smilodon to understand his words, and he was only interested in the rope at the moment.

Wang Yang had no choice but to satisfy its curiosity, completely untied the rope tied to the house and threw it in front of it.

It closely watched Wang Yang's process of untying the rope to judge the "life characteristics" of the rope. The rope did not resist and allowed Wang Yang to move.

It came forward and gave the rope a few more paws, then breathed a sigh of relief and roared to the sky.

After roaring, it realized that it was free, turned around in a circle, glanced across the canyon, and ran to the stream to drink some water.

After returning, Wang Yang pointed to it outside and asked it to leave.

It turned its head this way and that, but still didn't move away. Its eyes were looking everywhere, as if it was looking for something.

Seeing that it was not leaving, Wang Yang's face darkened, and he wanted to drive it away: "I'm serious, you can't stay here any longer. I'll give you freedom and let you fend for yourself. You're not hunting in the canyon. What's going on in the canyon?"

Can you say it’s hunting?”

Smilodon didn't answer and carefully analyzed the smell in the air.

The open space was empty, and Wang Yang hadn't started cleaning the small animals yet. The smell was very mixed, but the saber-toothed tiger still found the target, and immediately rushed to the chicken coop, roared angrily, and knocked on the chicken coop with his big palms.

Door.

It didn't forget the chicken boss's peck, which took away half of the meat.

In the chicken coop, the chicken boss shivered and hid among the hens, burying his head, not daring to look at the saber-toothed tiger through the gap.

In the end, the saber-toothed tiger left. It rushed out of the canyon mouth and went into the forest, twisting its big butt and roaring all the way, announcing its return.

I'm back!

In the forest that day, the howling of a certain animal could be heard from time to time, which frightened the new residents who had just moved in so much that they did not dare to move out.
