Qiao Jinnian was so angry that she wanted to attack the Hyena Queen and stab her in the ass with her spear.

The original human cub who was loved and protected by his father suddenly transformed into an elder, and there were so many sub-adult elders at that.

This responsibility is too heavy. Qiao Jinnian looked at the wildebeest herd in the distance from afar with mixed feelings.

If she hunted in the past to practice her hunting skills, now she has to use all her skills to hunt because the burden on her family is too heavy.

As the daughter of the lion king, she must be responsible for hunting every day until the cubs reach adulthood, which means that this process will take at least one and a half years.

Taking out his bow and arrow, Qiao Jinnian took a deep breath, climbed up a tree, and prepared to pick a wildebeest and start with a long-range shot.

It's the rainy season now, so hunting is relatively easy for lions. Therefore, she must take advantage of the rainy season to hone her skills. Otherwise, when the dry season arrives, the sub-adults' appetites will increase dramatically, and she won't be able to afford a meal...

Picking a wildebeest that seemed to be moving slowly, Qiao Jinnian aimed at the wildebeest's butt, pulled the bow and arrow, and shot the arrow out.

After so much strength and aiming training, Qiao Jinnian's arrow successfully penetrated the wildebeest's butt.

The wildebeest was frightened and let out a "moo" sound, running forward wildly.

Qiao Jinnian quickly put the bow and arrow on his back, jumped off the tree, and chased after the injured wildebeest.

Wildebeest herds in the rainy season are small, with only about seven or eight female wildebeests and some underage calves, so the herd in front of us is very small.

The injured wildebeest was also very smart. In order to survive, it ran towards the female wildebeests in the herd.

The rainy season is the breeding season. Qiao Jinnian never expected that she would actually witness a wildebeest mother giving birth.

If this happened in the territory of other lion groups, the lions would definitely capture the wildebeest mother who was giving birth and her newborn cub at the first opportunity.

But Qiao Jinnian couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart. She didn't like hunting newborn babies. After all, every species has the right to survive and experience life.

To feed the lion pride, she can capture weak wildebeests, but will not hunt wildebeest mothers who are giving birth.

However, she was the only one who knew that she would not kill the wildebeest calf, but the wildebeest mother did not know.

When the injured wildebeest rushed into its own herd, it caused a commotion among the herd and everyone started to run away.

The mother wildebeest is giving birth, and her wildebeest calf, with only its head sticking out, is hanging on her butt.

So, the mother wildebeest ran forward while trying hard to give birth to her cub. She must have been in great pain, and she kept howling in pain.

As she ran, the wildebeest calf fell out from behind her butt and landed directly on the ground with the afterbirth still on its body.

A wildebeest calf that falls to the ground has only a few minutes to learn to stand up, otherwise it will be eaten by a carnivore.

The wildebeest calf's mother lowered her head and touched her child. This was the only action she could use to encourage the cub to stand up on its own. There was nothing else she could do.

Because this is how wildebeest mothers are born and raised.

The little wildebeest's aunt also stopped and looked at the cub with the wildebeest mother. They gathered around and looked back at Qiao Jinnian from time to time.

If Qiao Jinnian was a real lion at this time, he would rush over and eat the cubs, and try to capture both the wildebeest mother and the wildebeest's aunt.

Unfortunately, she was not a real lion, she only cared about the injured wildebeest.

So, she just looked at the injured wildebeest and continued to chase him forward.

The injured wildebeest who wanted to divert the trouble saw that she didn't want to change her target. He endured the pain on his butt and could only run away, wanting to continue to lead her to the antelope herd, because antelopes were smaller than him and easier to catch, and maybe the lion would change its target.

I have to say that this wildebeest should be of some age and has a very high IQ. This escape technique is often very effective against lions and can successfully escape.

Qiao Jinnian ignored him completely and continued to chase forward. She had already determined that this was the dinner of her sub-adult lion group and did not allow her to hesitate.

When the wildebeest mother and aunt saw her running away, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, because this meant that the little wildebeest had a few more minutes to try to stand up on its own.

When the wildebeest calf was born, its four legs were thin and long. It kept trying to stand up, but kept failing. Finally, it took it almost ten minutes to stand up successfully.

The moment he stood up, he became a member of the fleeing wildebeest group, following the wildebeest mother and aunt closely, and began to run away together.

Because the wildebeest was very fast and the other wildebeest was only slightly injured. After all, the arrow was made of wood and had limited lethality, so he ran very hard.

But Qiao Jinnian came here seriously to hunt today, not to exercise. When she was about five or six meters away from the wildebeest, she raised the stone spear in her hand and threw it at the wildebeest's butt.

The wildebeest was injured in the butt again, this time by a stone weapon. It screamed in pain for a moment, and the sound was sharp, similar to the mooing of a cow.

After all, the wildebeest is actually a large antelope. It is just because it looks like a strange beast and its face looks like a cow, so it is also called wildebeest.

This time he was seriously injured, which actually aroused his bloodiness. He turned around and wanted to attack Qiao Jinnian with his horns.

Qiao Jinnian is no pushover either. The biggest gain from her independent wandering life for a year and a half is that she has become more courageous.

When he rushed towards her, she dodged nimbly, ran two quick steps from behind him, and grabbed the horns on his head to avoid getting hurt.

After grabbing the horn, the muscle strength she had accumulated from climbing trees and practicing strength for such a long time enabled her to leap up and directly onto the wildebeest's back.

If it were a lion, it would bite the wildebeest's throat tightly at this time, causing it to die from excessive blood loss.

But Qiao Jinnian had no way to use the throat-locking technique like a lion, so she could only use the flint knife in her hand to attack the wildebeest's neck.

The weapon in her hand is her sharp claws, which is her unique hunting method.

The wildebeest felt pain and struggled hard. His back began to shake violently, making it difficult for her to stay seated.

In order to steady himself and avoid falling and getting injured, Qiao Jinnian put away the flint knife and held the horns on his head tightly with both hands.

Now, they are competing in endurance, waiting for the wildebeest to bleed to death.

The wildebeest was very tenacious and struggled for a long time, but Qiao Jinnian just kept riding on its back, just like the first time humans tamed a wild horse.

About half an hour later, the wildebeest finally lost its last bit of strength and fell to the ground with a "bang".

Qiao Jinnian succeeded in hunting and was so tired that he was gasping for breath. He could only sit on the wildebeest and take a short rest.

At this time, the wildebeest had a strong smell of blood, so she couldn't rest for too long. She had to pay attention at all times to see if there were any hyenas or wild dogs around.

If a pack of hyenas appears, her prey is likely to be snatched away by them, and she will also be besieged by them.

The hyena queen is not afraid of her. Although she is a lion, she is not a male lion. There are only two cheetahs around her, so she is easy to attack.

"Stars! Freckles!" Qiao Jinnian shouted hurriedly.

Soon, Star and Freckles came running over quickly. They had gone hunting on their own before. After all, they had five cubs to raise at home, and they had big appetites. The lion group couldn't raise cheetahs, so they had to rely on themselves.

But now she had to drag the prey back and couldn't stay here too long.

If she relied on herself, she definitely couldn't drag it back, so she might as well call the children over to eat directly.

Qiao Jinnian looked at the empty grassland and was suddenly speechless. It seemed that she had too little hunting experience and had not thought of such an important issue!

"Freckles, go call the children to come for dinner!" Qiao Jinnian said to Freckles, pointing in the direction of his own lion group, and added, "Roar, roar——"

Freckles had been following her for a long time and probably understood what she meant. The animals were not fools. They only needed to look at the wildebeests on the ground to understand that she wanted to call the lions to come for dinner.

So, Qiao Jinnian and Xingxing stood aside, guarding their food, waiting for Freckles to call the lions to come and eat.

However, at this time, the vulture, which was particularly well-informed, appeared above their heads at lightning speed.

Qiao Jinnian: "..." Do you have to be so fast?

The vultures*7.7.zl have excellent eyesight and can tell from a long distance that a wildebeest has died here, but they will not come to rob it directly, after all, there is also a cheetah and a lion here.

Qiao Jinnian raised the spear in his hand high and roared at the vulture in the sky: "Roar——"

The vultures were frightened and flew away for a while, but soon after, they flew back again and landed dozens of meters away from her. This was because they had to wait until they had finished eating so that the vultures could clean up the garbage on the battlefield.

Qiao Jinnian no longer paid attention to them, just hoping that the children would come quickly, otherwise the hyenas would be attracted by the vultures.

Sure enough, the cries of the vultures attracted the group of hyenas hiding near the rocks.

There was only her little lion and a weak cheetah here. The hyena queen was so happy that she led a large army directly over. It seemed that she didn't even want to say hello and just wanted to pick up the bowl and eat.

Qiao Jinnian was so angry that she wanted to go up and attack the hyena queen and stab her in the butt with her spear.

Unfortunately, she was not that strong yet. A wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him. If she was surrounded by a group of hyenas, the consequences would be very serious. After all, there were so many hyenas.

So, Qiao Jinnian just stood aside and let the hyena eat first, hoping in her heart that her own lion group would come over quickly. Next time, she would definitely bring her children over and wait for the meal aside to prevent the fruits of her labor from being snatched away by the hyenas.

The hyenas let out a "hehehe" sound and immediately began to devour the food voraciously. They saw that half of the wildebeest was gone.

Qiao Jinnian was so anxious...

I was so anxious that smoke was coming out of my head...

"Roar--" After a while, the low roar of the lion father was heard in the distance. It was the sound of expulsion.

The hyena queen raised her head and saw the huge lion rushing towards her...
