144 Journey

Qiao Jinnian threw herself into the lion father's mane, rolling around and laughing: "Hahahaha...so funny!"

It was a thrilling hunt, and it was also the first time that the father and daughter had truly cooperated in hunting in all these years.

After this hunting experience, the lion father seemed to realize that he could cooperate with Qiao Jinnian in hunting.

Qiao Jinnian also changed his hunting method and communicated the specific plan with his father through eye contact.

Even a lion in its prime cannot finish eating a whole buffalo by itself, so the remaining buffalo meat becomes the food of scavengers on the entire grassland.

The father and daughter walked together towards their next destination. As soon as they left, several vultures gathered on the grassland behind them. They quarreled and yelled "ahhh" while fighting over the most delicious meat.

We came to a piece of grass that looked quite comfortable. Behind us were towering rocks. In front of the rocks was a big tree with dense leaves that could block the scorching sun.

So, this piece of land became a new resting place for the father and daughter.

The lion father slept the whole afternoon to recuperate and restore his energy.

Perhaps it was because after a long time, the lion father experienced the joy of hunting buffalo again, which gave him great self-confidence.

The lion father who regained his self-confidence is no longer the old lion. There is light in his eyes and he is radiant.

As he walked on the grasslands heading to the northern steppes, his golden lion eyes shone with golden light under the scorching sun, looking so handsome!

Yes, she has long known that her lion father is the most handsome lion on the entire grassland, and will always be!

The father and daughter passed through one lion group after another and saw many lion groups, but because they did not mistakenly enter the territory of other lion groups, they did not conflict with any lion group, and other top predators were no match for the lions.

On this day, it was hunting time again, and Qiao Jinnian saw the desire for food in the eyes of the lion father.

This is the carnivore's instinctive desire for food, which cannot be hidden.

At this time, not far away on the opposite side, a small herd of wildebeests was walking towards them.

Because there was only one lion and one biped, the wildebeest herd either didn't see them or were just careless. They continued to walk towards them even though they were only 100 meters away from the father and daughter.

In this case, the lion father decided to eat a wildebeest today.

In fact, if it was just the lion father who ate one lion and hunted one cub, it would be simple and he could finish the meal without wasting food. But Qiao Jinnian had figured it out. Sometimes male lions hunt not just for food, especially in the rainy season. They might hunt to train their hunting abilities.

For the lion father at this time, being able to hunt a large prey again is the happiest and most satisfying thing for him, as if he is still the unrestrained and free king who galloped across the grassland.

When she realized this deeply, she was willing to pamper her father. They would hunt together whatever he wanted to eat!

The brown and yellow hair on the lion's body can almost perfectly hide it in the withered grass, and the brown hemp rope on Qiao Jinnian's body is very close to the color of the grass.

So, the father and daughter simply lay down in the grass to see how far the wildebeests would get from them.

The herd of wildebeests really seemed not to see the father and daughter. They kept moving forward until they were 20 meters away from them, with no sign of stopping.

At this time, the lion father began to crawl forward, left the grassland, passed through the bushes on the left, and went around, intending to encircle the wildebeest herd from the side.

Qiao Jinnian continued to lie in the direction of the wildebeest's movement.

When the wildebeest was only 10 meters away from her, it seemed to finally realize that there was a strange two-legged beast in front of it. It was difficult to judge whether there was any danger, so it just paused slightly. Seeing that she seemed to have no intention of attacking, it felt relieved and prepared to move on.

However, at this time, the lion father, who had already gone around the bushes on the left, suddenly started running at full speed and pounced on them from the side.

He bit the wildebeest on its back, shocking it so much that it raised its two front legs high and howled. The other wildebeest had already turned around and fled.

This was the goal that Dad had set long ago. He had already made a move and kept biting the wildebeest's back, refusing to let go.

When Qiao Jinnian, who was lying in the grass, saw that her father had made a move, she quickly ran over and pounced from the right side. Using her arm strength, she jumped onto the wildebeest's back. This was the result of her long-term tree-climbing training.

She is light, estimated to weigh no more than 70 kilograms. If she just rides on the wildebeest's back, she cannot cause any damage to the wildebeest at all. However, if she rides on his neck, it will be a different story.

Soon, with a huge lion on its body and its neck being held by a two-legged beast, the wildebeest quickly lost its fighting ability. Because the lion was on its left side, its body lost balance and it was unstable, so it fell to the left.

The lion father also jumped onto the wildebeest's back. This time, Qiao Jinnian did not stand there in a daze. He grabbed the wildebeest's horns to prevent it from hurting people with its horns, and kept his neck clear of his father.

The lion father ran forward with two big strides and grabbed the throat. This is the fastest and simplest way to hunt.

This hunting operation was still led by the lion father. He looked more and more confident, radiant, and had a long-lost happiness on his face.

This hunt did not consume as much energy as last time, but the lion father still needed to rest for a while and recover his strength before he could start eating.

Recently, Qiao Jinnian discovered that the lion father's appetite has increased a little, and he eats more than before. The lion only needs to eat a few good meals, and he will grow some meat visibly, and his hair seems to be in better condition. Qiao Jinnian was very happy.

Her lion dad is back!

The father and daughter were full of energy. After finishing their meal, they continued to explore the grassland. Perhaps this was the way Dad liked to spend his retirement.

The grasslands in the rainy season are always beautiful. When you have enough food and no longer have to worry about basic food and clothing, life is always happy.

After the rain, the weather became clear again. The sky was as blue as the sparkling sea, so clear. The clouds like sweet marshmallows looked like the white sailboats that Qiao Jinnian saw on TV.

The father and daughter came to a high hillside where there was a protruding rock. They could see very far away, and because there was only one entrance, they did not have to worry about being harassed by other predators.

The lion father lay on the edge of the rock, squinting his eyes, looking at the grassland in the distance, the animals grazing on the grassland, and the beautiful rainbow.

Qiao Jinnian didn’t know whether he could see the huge rainbow bridge. He should be able to see it, but to him, all this was too normal.

Lying on the lion father's back, Qiao Jinnian looked at the soft white clouds in the sky and imagined what was at the end of the grassland. The end of the continent must be the sea. Perhaps, one day, she could reach the seashore and see what was there.

But, not now.

Turning around, she and her lion father lay side by side on the rock, looking towards the Rainbow Bridge.

I saw two lions in love. Yes, they were a couple. The male lion was chasing the female lion, running and running. From the rock side, they just ran to the end of the rainbow bridge.

In other words, the position where the two lions stand is exactly at the starting point of the Rainbow Bridge. The scenery is picturesque. The two lions are like the male and female protagonists of an idol drama, performing a TV show for her.

The female lion seemed dissatisfied with the male lion, and the two lions started fighting in an instant. The female lion stood up and bit the male lion's face.

The male lion had no choice but to dodge, but was slapped several times again. He had no choice but to watch the female lion running away in front of him and turned to face the father and daughter.

Of course, he might not have seen the father and daughter, after all, they were standing higher.

No one knew what was going on, but the lion's mouth suddenly opened, revealing four sharp canine teeth. The muscles at the tip of its nose wrinkled, its eyes narrowed, and its tongue stuck out, making it look like a human laughing wildly.

Qiao Jinnian: "..."

His expression was particularly funny, looking a little obscene, and he kept laughing wildly. If Qiao Jinnian hadn't known that cats have a phenomenon of split-lip sniffing, she would almost have thought he was laughing.

Maybe he made this expression because he smelled a scent he liked, but the way he kept "laughing" at Qiao Jinnian and his daughter was still too funny.

Qiao Jinnian: "Hahaha..."

I don’t know why the cub made this sound, but the lion father could sense that the cub was in a very good mood, so he came over and licked her face to express his comfort.

Qiao Jinnian threw herself into the lion father's mane, rolling around and laughing: "Hahahaha... too funny!"

The lioness really looked down on the lion and had run away long ago, but the lion would never give up so easily. He laughed to himself for a while and then continued to run towards the lioness.

He runs slowly and leisurely, with a standard cat walk, and looks quite handsome.

After watching an idol drama among lions, she watched a wonderful scene of a confrontation between leopards and cheetahs against the backdrop of the Rainbow Bridge.

It was probably the rainy season, and the animals felt that fighting was too rough and not suitable to be staged in such a beautiful scenery, so they engaged in a confrontation battle with pure eye contact.

The background of the confrontation between the two sides happened to be where the lion couple had just stood.

On the left is a cheetah passing by, and on the right is a leopard preparing to hunt in this grassland. They have similar patterns, but one belongs to the subfamily Felinae, and the other belongs to the subfamily Pantherinae, and their body sizes are also different.

But at this moment, the two of them just stared at each other from a distance, exchanged glances, took defensive actions against each other, kept roaring, and tested each other's strength.

The two cats raised their backs high, a gesture of preparation for attack.

Fortunately, after a few minutes of confrontation, the defenses were lifted and both gave up the idea of ​​attacking at the same time.

Then, the two different species on the left and right calmed their gazes, missed their bodies, and continued running towards the distant grassland, running towards their lunch today.

The difference is that the cheetah started chasing a high-speed running gazelle, while the leopard chased a kudu.

The grasslands are teeming with life. With the appearance of these two top predators, the herbivores are running for their lives. This story is repeated every day...
