120 Leopard Cub

◎The Black Panther and his wife were fighting fiercely. You breathed at me, and I yelled at you. The little leopard was so scared that he sat on the ground in a daze, looking at his parents.◎

"Awoo, woo, woo--" The little lion was bitten again. This time there was blood. There was only a small bite on his body, and it hurt so much.

The little lion felt extremely aggrieved. He couldn't understand why this biped would fall over with just a little leap. He just wanted to play a game with her...

This injury is not serious for the lion. It only needs to lick the wound and it will heal in a few days, but the blow is too great.

Knowing that it was the lion's father who blamed the little lion for not knowing the seriousness of the matter and knocking her down, Qiao Jinnian would not say anything to her father. However, the little lion did not do it on purpose, so she went forward and hugged the little lion as a comfort to him.

No matter what, the little lion didn't dare to play with her anymore. His face became much more serious. He lay on the sand and watched the other three playing and biting each other.

After seeing the little lion, Qiao Jinnian continued to migrate north with the lion father. This time they still chose to return to the lion group in the southern grassland from the southwestern edge.

But there is a problem now. Dad has left the lion group. If he goes back to the lion group, it would be like an invasion.

I don’t know whether F4 and Reiner will drive Lion Dad and myself out.

We'll see then. Maybe they won't enter the southern grassland lion group, but will just take a detour and take a look.

Taking a detour is the correct way for a lion to survive. For example, the lion father is planning to take a detour next to the lion group in the sand.

This is the F3 lion pride. At that time, Qiao Jin was thinking about the F3 lion pride. Originally, there were four adult male lions. One F4 left, so there were only three male lions and one lioness left. Later, a young lioness came with several sub-adult lions.

Now, Qiao Jinnian estimated that the three sub-adult lions had also been driven out to become independent, and judging by the time, the first batch of cubs of the F3 lion group might also be driven out soon.

Counting the days, two dry seasons and two rainy seasons have passed. It should be at most another year before the first batch of cubs grow up.

The lion group's territory here is relatively large and not easy to get around. The lion father sniffs along the way to avoid accidentally entering the territory of other lion groups and causing trouble.

Although everyone has a good relationship and has helped each other before, this is a matter of territorial sovereignty after all and cannot be taken lightly.

To go around the entire lion territory, the father and daughter would have to walk a lot further along the edge, which would waste more time.

But it was nothing important anyway. They just hadn't been back for a long time and went back to take a look.

Coming to the uninhabited land further west, they headed north along the grassland, where they saw three lions.

If her guess was correct, Qiao Jinnian suspected that these three should be the little lions who joined the F3 lion group with their sister.

This is probably because it was driven out by the lion group, but it did not go far away and continued to wander around the lion group. It must be that it has not yet adapted to the wandering life.

We are not familiar with each other, so if we see each other from a distance, we will just avoid them and avoid direct contact. This is the survival philosophy of the lion father.

However, the three lions were very interested in the father and daughter. When they saw them continue to move north, they actually followed them from a distance.

"Roar--" The lion father turned around and roared at them, preventing them from following him.

This is very strange, like a follower. I don’t know what these three lions want to do?

The three male lions don't look like they are having a good time. Compared to the four little lions in the desert, they are a little thinner, but not so thin that they look unrecognizable.

It seems that they have been living here since the dry season, but prey is scarce and their hunting techniques are not well-trained, so they starved themselves to death.

Seeing them being roared away by the lion father, Qiao Jinnian suspected that they just wanted to come here to eat for free.

However, it is the rainy season now, so the prey has increased in this area, making hunting easier, which is very strange.

Continue walking along the edge.

This is the dense forest. Qiao Jinnian suddenly remembered what happened last year. The black panther got the beauty home. He didn't know if they had any cubs born and whether any of the cubs were black.

Since he was already here, Qiao Jinnian entered the dense forest, wanting to find the black panther and find the answer.

The cub wanted to go into the jungle by himself, so the lion father had to follow him in, even though the environment in the jungle made him feel uncomfortable.

Lions are animals that like vast grasslands. He just wanted to accompany his cubs because he was afraid that the cubs would be eaten by leopards.

In fact, Qiao Jinnian is now holding her own stone spear in her hand. No matter what, she still has some self-defense ability. Moreover, with her current height of 140 cm, she can successfully persuade many animals to retreat.

This dense forest is not big, and the other side is the territory of the southern grassland. The father and daughter do not plan to go there as they do not want to cause trouble.

Although Reiner would never hurt his father, it would still be very sad to be driven away by his own son.

Soon, relying on her memory, Qiao Jinnian found the trees where black panthers often appeared. She hoped that she would be lucky enough to see what color their cubs were.

Black panthers are a variant of leopards, not another species of creature. They lack effective markings, but those markings are the information that allows other leopards to recognize one leopard.

But the black panther is really beautiful and especially rare on this grassland, so Qiao Jinnian really cherishes him.

However, she had been there for a long time and had not seen any trace of the black panther.

There was no way. The lion father didn’t like the environment of the dense forest, so Qiao Jinnian decided to leave here quickly.

When I turned around to leave, a dark shadow suddenly jumped down from the tree. He was very fast and even though he jumped from such a high place, he didn't make much noise.

"Woo--" The black panther opened its emerald green eyes wide, only two meters away from Qiao Jinnian, as if asking her if she was looking for him.

Qiao Jinnian had come several times before, and each time she stared at him for a long time, but she never posed a threat to him, so he knew that she had no ill intentions.

He had probably been observing in secret for a long time, and only showed up when he saw Qiao Jinnian was about to leave, just to see what she was going to do.

"Woo-ho--" Qiao Jinnian roared like him.

Seeing that she had nothing to do, Black Panther opened his mouth in boredom, yawned loudly, withdrew his gaze, and prepared to go back.

"Where's your cub? Where is it? Bring it out and let me see it!" Qiao Jinnian said hurriedly when she saw him leaving. Afraid that he wouldn't understand, she even imitated the voice of a little leopard: "Ah Wu, Ah Wu——"

This is the sound a baby leopard would make.

Unexpectedly, Black Panther suddenly looked at her, as if he finally understood something.

However, she obviously forgot one very important thing.

That is, leopard mothers raise their children independently. Female leopards and male leopards will only be together when they need to reproduce, and then they will live independently. However, this does not prevent their territories from being close to each other.

Sometimes, when a leopard father catches food, he will occasionally allow his cubs to eat in his territory.

Seeing the black panther open its clear green eyes again and stare at him, Qiao Jinnian finally remembered what had happened. So, he scratched his head to ease the embarrassment, then waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'm leaving. Woohoo—"

Unexpectedly, the black panther stopped looking at her. Instead, it suddenly jumped onto a tree and walked on the branches with a standard cat walk. After taking two steps, it looked down at her, as if asking her not to leave.

So Qiao Jinnian didn't leave, but stood under the tree, waiting for him.

Could he take the cub from the leopard mother? It's unlikely. The cub is still young, and the leopard mother will definitely chase him madly.

After waiting for about 20 minutes, the black panther appeared again with a leopard cub in its mouth.

This cub looks like it's only two or three months old. That's not right. It's been a year already. His child is too young.

Being caught by his father, the little leopard kept roaring at his father: "Ah Wu, Ah Wu——"

Qiao Jinnian didn't dare to hug the baby. Carnivores with cubs were the most terrifying. They were extremely protective of their cubs. If the leopard mother thought she had stolen her child and came over to bite her neck, the lion father might not be able to save her in time.

Of course, the black panther had no intention of letting her hold the cub, but instead bit the child and jumped to the ground in one breath.

The cub couldn't sit still for a moment and barked at his father several times. When he saw his father's tail dragging on the ground, he rushed over and tried to bite his father's tail.

Then, the black panther simply started to spin in circles, always keeping its tail 20 centimeters in front of the little leopard, and moving very slowly, obviously to make it possible for the little leopard to catch it, but not to bite it.

The father and son kept spinning in circles under the big tree. The little lion was almost dizzy and suddenly didn't want to play anymore. He pounced on his father and bit him.

"Ah--" The little cub was so ferocious that he kept biting his father everywhere, and even stood up to bite his father's mouth.

As a result, the black panther gently raised its claws and flicked it, and the whole little leopard fell to the ground so magnificently.

Not wanting him to continue biting him, the black panther had to put one paw on the little leopard to hold him down, making the little leopard scream "Ah Woo Ah Woo" in anger and struggling to stand up again.

Then, the black panther father looked down at his cub, feeling very curious, and wanted to get close to the cub's face to get a better look at it.

His cub had ordinary leopard stripes, nothing like him. Perhaps he knew that stripes would be better on the grassland, at least allowing his kind to recognize him.

It was a very quiet forest. Apart from the chirping of insects and birds, everything was very quiet, which highlighted the tender moment between the father and son.

However, the good times did not last long. The leopard mother soon came over, jumped down from the tree without saying a word, and started fighting with the black panther.

Of course, the leopard mother deliberately separated the father and son to avoid accidentally hurting her cubs.

Black Panther and his wife were fighting fiercely. You breathed at me and I yelled at you. The little leopard was so scared that he sat on the ground in a daze, looking at his parents.

Qiao Jinnian: “…” Well, this couple is quite good at fighting.

Then, the parents fought for a long time. The leopard mother probably forgot to feed her children. After a while, two little leopards and one little black panther came to their mother to drink milk...
