100 Rules

◎At this time, Sister Sa stepped forward and began to teach the children the correct table manners.◎

The heavy rain poured down, moistening the sandy land. The lions passed by the water hole where they had rested at first, which had now turned into a rushing river. The birds that had left during the dry season returned to their homes.

The river water here is clear, and the amazing thing is that there are no hippos or crocodiles.

Therefore, Qiao Jinnian specially fetched some more water here, ready to drink on the way.

They encountered many herbivores along the way, and their lion group no longer needed to hunt those huge beasts.

Perhaps Ryan wanted to train his children's hunting skills, so on the way back, the burden of hunting was entirely given to these 14 sub-adults.

After a long dry season, the sub-adults not only did not lose weight, but their fur became shiny and fluffy. They have grown a lot bigger and are now almost three years old.

Xiaobai has also grown a lot, and even his original Mohawk has turned into a long mane, but it is still not as much hair as an adult lion.

But Xiaobai is so handsome and still so polite. He will not forget that he is an outsider lion just because the lion group took him in.

Because of this, Qiao Jinnian and Lion Dad both like him very much.

Moreover, he has been learning hunting techniques from Grandpa Lion, so he has made rapid progress in the past six months.

However, when the large group arrived at the edge of the lion's territory, the lion grandfather who had been following the lion group all the way suddenly stopped.

No lion in the pride noticed the old lion's abnormality, but Xiaobai was always keeping an eye on the old lion.

So, Xiaobai said to the old lion: "Roar?"

The old lion walked up to Xiao Bai, licked his head, and made a car engine sound from his throat: "Whoosh--"

It looks like he is telling Xiaobai something.

At this time, Ryan also noticed the old and the young, so he walked over and looked at the old lion.

The old lion faced the territorial lion, suddenly squatted on the ground and roared: "Roar——"

Qiao Jinnian didn't understand and didn't know what was wrong with the old lion, but Xiaobai lowered his head and squatted beside the old lion, looking a little sad.

It wasn't until Ryan looked far away and squinted his eyes to look further south that he retracted his gaze and growled at the old lion: "Roar——"

They seemed to be discussing something, until the old lion stood up again and walked towards the south alone, Qiao Jinnian realized that the old lion would not go back with his own lion group.

However, Xiaobai officially joined his own lion group from today.

Looking at the lonely figure of the old lion, Qiao Jinnian felt a little sad. Perhaps this was the pride and self-esteem unique to an elderly lion.

The reason why the old lion is unwilling to join the lion pride is because he feels that he is old and may contribute too little to the lion pride. Once he merges with the lion pride, it will be like being raised by the lion pride every day.

Qiao Jinnian knew that in the lion world, some old lions, if they felt that they didn't have much time left, might leave the lion group on their own and find a place to die alone.

She also remembered that some old lions living in zoos would go on a hunger strike if they felt they were about to leave this world.

So, she concluded that the old lion just wanted to wander alone until he could no longer move.

Looking at Xiaobai who was standing in front of him with his head down and not saying a word, Qiao Jinnian knew that he must be very sad. He used to be both a teacher and a friend to the old lion. The old lion taught him how to hunt, and he accompanied the old lion.

It can be said that the old lion helped him a lot in his sub-adulthood and was considered half his elder.

However, whether it is an old lion or a young lion, everyone knows that only by following this super lion group can they grow quickly.

After saying goodbye to the old lion, the sub-adults hunted a gazelle. They divided into several groups and besieged the gazelle, and only then did they successfully capture it.

Although there is not much meat, it is enough for a meal.

But the gazelles are too small, and there is no way for the whole family to go up and eat together, so we have to consider the order of eating.

Although the lion group in their own family does not have any table rules and usually eats together, it is obvious that all members of the lion group are obedient and worshipful to Ryan in front of them.

Ryan, who possesses absolute authority as the Lion King, can definitely enjoy the delicious food in advance.

Because the family has added a new member, a male lion, he may stay in the lion group in the future and become one of the new territorial lions, so the previous rule of everyone eating together from the big pot may have to be changed.

At this time, Sister Sa stepped forward and began to teach the children correct table manners.

The children followed Sister Sa and formed a huge semicircle at the scene. All the sub-adult and adult lions squatted on the ground obediently, looking at the territorial lion in front of them.

The meaning is very clear, expressing their absolute conviction and respect for the territorial lion.

After all, Ryan is a powerful lion king who not only protects his home but also cooks every day. Because of the existence of the lion king, this super lion group did not lose a single lion during the long dry season, and everyone had a full belly. This is a very excellent lion king.

Ryan never follows these rules, and the rules of each lion group are different.

However, Sister Sa insisted on teaching the children these etiquettes in order to consolidate the status of the Lion King, so as to prevent the sub-adults from being difficult to discipline and failing to distinguish between superiors and inferiors, which would eventually lead to disaster.

Ryan also saw Sister Sa's intention and did not refuse. He lay down in front of the prey first and finished his meal. Then the other four adult lions ate together, and finally all the sub-adults ate.

Because there was too little prey, no one ate much, and each lion only had a small portion to fill the gap.

The rules have been established so that new lion kings can continue to do so in the future, but if the new lion king is not as qualified as Ryan, then the other members of the lion group may drive the lion king away or even bite him to death.

The large group continued to move northward. Along the way, the sub-adults' hunting skills improved rapidly because there were so many prey and they received sufficient practical training.

Throughout the dry season, they watched their elders hunting large prey at close range every night. Now, standing in front of them were ordinary prey that was much smaller. After practicing this a few times, they discovered that prey was so easy to catch.

Of course, sub-adulthood is more often spent in failure.

But Ryan was not in a hurry. If they failed once, he would ask them to keep trying. There were so many prey on the grassland that they could not eat them all. There would always be a time when they would be able to catch prey.

The lions traveled a long distance and returned. Along the way, Ryan and Reiner re-marked their territory, but this time the situation was special. They brought the entire lion group with them, and the formation was a bit grand and the effect was a bit exaggerated.

Seeing the whole process of this group of super masters roaring and marking, the wild dogs on the grassland and the hyenas hiding in the bushes were stunned. Oh my God, who would dare to do this!

Wild dogs are famous for their expressive expressions. Qiao Jinnian even saw the Wild Dog Queen sighing...

The super master group here is back!

The animals rushed around to tell each other that they were afraid that with this return, all the animals in the southern grassland would become more alert.

Finally returning to the core area, Qiao Jinnian saw Allen striding towards her from a distance. Because there were still some leaves on the trees here, Allen decided to stay here.

Now, the good friends hadn't seen each other for several months. Allen walked along and roared: "Moo--"

Qiao Jinnian ran up and patted Allen on the nose, saying, "I'm back. How are you, Allen? Moo?"

Just now, Qiao Jinnian was riding on the lion father's back all the way, and only jumped off his father's back when she saw Allen. So, now Allen suddenly lay on the ground, meaning that he wanted her to ride on him.

Qiao Jinnian smiled. Did Allen always think she was a cub? Could it be that she couldn’t even walk?

But she didn't want to refuse Alan, so she climbed on his back and rode on him.

Because they suddenly became higher, it was like standing on a tall tree. The view in front of them was very good. Qiao Jinnian could even see the stars and freckles on the black rocks in the distance, as well as the cubs.

Qiao Jinnian roughly counted them, and oh my god, all five cubs survived!

What a great cheetah mother and cheetah uncle!

The survival rate of cubs in the wild is extremely low. Qiao Jinnian knows that the reason all the cubs were able to survive is because they were protected by the lion group, and also because Freckles did not raise the cubs alone, but raised them together with his brother.

Perhaps they were influenced by the lion group. Cheetahs are solitary animals, but Freckles did not drive them out when the cubs were 2 years old.

Uh, Qiao Jinnian is starting to worry about inbreeding...

Ahhh, it seems like she set a wrong example for Freckles. Won’t this affect the cheetah’s population structure and living habits?

But, she never taught Freckles this, it wasn't her fault...

The cubs have grown up, from furry little cheetahs to long-legged cheetahs that look exactly like their mother.

If Freckles and Star hadn't come over to greet her, she wouldn't have been able to tell who was the mother and who was the baby, because all seven looked the same...

Qiao Jinnian only hopes that Freckles and Stars can solve the problem of population continuation.

Hearing the huge lion roar, the jackal family and the honey badger all ran out from different directions to see the return of the lion group.

Ryan roared loudly all the way until he arrived at the core area. He lay down under a big tree and roared a few more times. This was to announce to the surrounding stray lions that the territory here had been occupied and they should not trespass into the territory, otherwise they would bear the consequences.

The lion father roared so many times that his voice became a little hoarse. Qiao Jinnian quickly took the water cup and poured him a sip of water.

Dad didn't refuse. He stuck out his long tongue, licked the water, and washed his face at the same time.

After not coming back for a few months, the wild rabbits have reproduced a lot and almost eaten up all the grass around.

Qiao Jinnian sighed, not understanding why she had caught rabbits in the first place. They were really fertile.

Not only the hares, but also the ostrich herd has a lot of baby ostriches...

Oh, and guinea fowl...

Okay, other top predators won't appear here casually, but the core area is full of stinky odors and feces from various animals. It's a real mess.

Looking up and making eye contact with the lion father, Qiao Jinnian began to feel guilty. Oh my god, this is where the lions sleep. Why are all these animals pooping here? Can't they go further away? Don't these guys need to be taught a lesson?
