97 Alliance

◎Uh, this is the Lion Alliance, and it's four single lions...◎

An adult hippopotamus is several times larger than a crocodile, so this fight can almost be described as a one-sided crushing defeat.

But there are several crocodiles in this river, but only one hippopotamus. It is quite strange that this hippopotamus lives alone here.

Fortunately, there is only one hippopotamus here, otherwise the puddles they created would not be enough and their feces would block the entire river.

The hippopotamus and the crocodile opened their mouths at the same time, but the hippopotamus charged at the crocodile, and its huge body pushed the crocodile back several meters in the water.

The crocodile was still not convinced. His mouth was so big that it could easily fit a baby hippo's head. Unfortunately, the hippo in front of him was an adult and couldn't fit in at all...

Not to mention, the hippopotamus has such a fat and round body that there is no foothold at all. How can it bite?

At this moment, the crocodile quickly closed its mouth, turned around and swam into the river.

The hippopotamus didn't have to kill the crocodile. Otherwise, with its huge size and terrifying bite force, the crocodile might have been split in half.

Fortunately, the crocodile knew what was happening and quickly gave up and ran away.

When the lions saw that the crocodile gave up so quickly, they felt bored and didn't want to watch anymore, so they closed their eyes and prepared to go to sleep as they still had to work at night.

Qiao Jinnian had slept for a few hours at night and was not very sleepy at the moment, but she just leaned lazily on the lion father's belly and rubbed his round belly.

Dad seemed to be asleep and didn't even react, but when Qiao Jinnian touched him, she found that there was some fat on his belly!

That's not right. Has Dad been eating too much lately? Why is he so chubby?

After pinching it, it was still a little soft. Finally, her father was woken up by her. He was very irritated and growled at her: "Roar -"

Qiao Jinnian was never afraid of him. She pinched the flesh under his belly, looked down at it, then looked up at his father and said, "Awoo?"

The lion father actually understood her doubts and looked at his belly. He probably suddenly realized that he had some fat on his belly.

Well, this question is difficult to explain. Anyway, the lion father doesn’t understand it.

However, Qiao Jinnian suddenly thought, could it be that because her father is getting older, the fat has accumulated?

But dad exercises a lot, so this shouldn’t be the case.

Anyway, the lion father was feeling very annoyed and didn't care at all whether he had any fat on his belly or not. He just wanted to get rid of the cub.

"Roar--" The lion father continued to roar, and even stretched out his huge claws, wanting to slap the cub.

Unfortunately, he held back, fearing that he might hurt the cub, so this claw had no deterrent effect at all.

Qiao Jinnian even tried to push his luck further, but finally let go of his father's belly, hugged his fat belly, stretched out his right leg, put his leg on his belly, and rubbed his mane hard, having a lot of fun.

Lion Dad: “…” So annoying!

No matter how annoyed he was, there was nothing he could do because this was the only cub that was not afraid of his roar at all.

Just look at Leiber, he was so scared that he stepped back, and as he was backing away, he stepped on his sister.

"Aww, wow, wow--" The younger sister bit her brother directly.

This scene left the little white lion and the old lion lying on the other side stunned.

Little lions are born with a kind of admiration for the territorial male lion, but at the same time they are very afraid of the territorial male lion.

So, this strange lion is not afraid of the territorial lion. She has been roared at several times. This is really rare in the life of a lion!

Qiao Jinnian hugged her father, not caring whether her father was angry or not. She fell asleep quickly while hugging him.

This time, the lion group came as a whole, and those herbivorous friends did not come. After all, this is a desert area, and only lions are more drought-resistant and don’t care whether there is grass here or not.

For example, Allen stayed in the core area, and the two cheetahs and the cubs, as well as Silverback and Cape, all stayed there.

Ryan led the lion group to continue to develop new areas here, but had no intention of expanding the territory again.

Therefore, the male lion in his own territory is actually wandering here with his entire clan.

When evening comes, the entire lion group will go out, and Ryan will take everyone to farther places to explore more prey.

In fact, Qiao Jinnian suspected that Ryan wanted to hunt giraffes again. As for the elephants, she felt that Ryan should not have the idea of ​​challenging this herd of elephants. After all, elephants have long lifespans, high IQs, and very good memories, so they are very vengeful and can remember things from a long time ago. There will be no good results if you go against the entire herd of elephants.

So, seeing that he was always nearby and carefully distinguishing the taste, and based on his recent experience of eating giraffe several times, she guessed that her father must be looking for a herd of giraffes.

A giraffe is large in weight and can feed the entire herd, even for two days. It is also not that dangerous, so the lion father thinks it is a very good prey.

However, tonight, everyone took advantage of the night and walked very far, but still could not find any trace of the giraffe herd.

But the lion father looked very confident and did not walk around aimlessly. He kept running towards the southwest.

Qiao Jinnian lay on his back. Because her father ran a little fast, the temperature dropped sharply, and the wind was blowing, she had to cover herself with his mane.

This made Dad's hairstyle look really weird, but he didn't care.

As they ran, another lion group seemed to appear out of nowhere on the endless empty grassland.

That lion pride actually had four male lions, and only four male lions...

Uh, this is the Lion Alliance, and it's four single lions...

What is strange is that these four male lions are not a league of sub-adult male lions, nor are they newly adult male lions. They look like a league of male lions in their prime.

This is very strange. Since they are all in their prime and there are four of them, why don’t they form their own lion pride?

Of course, Qiao Jinnian had no idea what the lions were thinking.

This is a public area, and there is no question of one lion group invading the other's territory, so the two sides tentatively roared at each other a few times as a greeting.

The four lions looked quite similar, with thick fur and seemed to have a very good relationship. They ran towards the distance together, and while running, they stretched their heads to rub against their good buddies beside them.

Qiao Jinnian felt it was a rare opportunity to see four brothers with such a good relationship during the dry season.

Ryan looked at the four lions running side by side, squinting his eyes. He waited until they were completely far away before lowering his head slightly and continuing to smell the air.

At this time, Qiao Jinnian was a little envious of the alliance of four stray lions. They were very powerful. The four lions cooked for themselves and had no children to raise. As long as the four of them were full, the whole family would not be hungry. Isn’t this the situation his father was in a few years ago?

Hahaha, Qiao Jinnian suddenly realized, could it be that when Dad looked at those four cats, he remembered his life in the past few years?

Has the old father been driven crazy by the fourteen cubs?

I feel a little tired for the old father. How can he not be tired with so many children to raise?

But the children were born, so everyone followed the old father and walked for about half an hour, and they actually saw the giraffe herd again.

This time, there were no other animals on the grassland. After Ryan assigned specific tasks to the three adult lions, the four adult lions planned to hunt a giraffe for food tonight.

The rope that Qiao Jinnian used to hang herself on was obviously not very useful at night. Her eyesight was not good at night, and bows and arrows were of no use at all, so she just had to take care of the children.

Fourteen sub-adults all followed behind her. This was a precious hunting scene for the elders. They needed to observe closely and learn as much as they could. It was the most valuable experience in their future life as lions.

Hiding in the bushes with the sub-adults, everyone kept silent and watched the hunting scene on the grassland in the distance.

It’s a pity that Sister Sa’s injury has not healed yet and she still cannot go out hunting, so we can’t see Sister Sa show her heroic spirit again tonight.

The lion father chose a giraffe that didn't look that strong because he was the only one sleeping standing there, while the other giraffes ate leaves from time to time, and some were pooping nearby.

So, the one that is sleeping is of course the first choice.

Unlike the giraffes in the zoo, which may sleep with their swan necks resting on their butts, giraffes in the wild are very alert and never lie down even when sleeping. After all, lions can jump on their backs at any time, and they may die in their sleep.

However, the giraffe sleeping standing up was still targeted by its own lion group...

Ryan and Reiner quietly crawled over and went straight to the other end of the giraffe group to prevent the giraffes from getting scared and running away.

On this side, Sa Xiaomei and Sa Zhua Zhua also crawled over and gradually approached the sleeping giraffe.

Members of the giraffe herd who are eating leaves will observe their surroundings while eating grass. They are tall and have long legs, and their hearing is very sensitive. If a dangerous situation occurs, they will notify other members, so that everyone will start to run for their lives.

However, the lion's crawling ability is also very powerful. It presses its body to the ground, and its body is covered by the taller dead grass, making no sound.

This way, they are perfectly out of the sight of the giraffes, whose night vision isn't as good as that of lions.

You know, cats' night vision is six times that of humans, which is really useful.

When they came to three meters behind the giraffe, Sa Zhua Zhua and Sa Xiao Mei looked at each other, and saw the signal of simultaneous attack in each other's eyes, so they jumped out together, increased their speed, and pounced on it together, biting directly on the giraffe's belly and hanging themselves on it.

Being bitten fiercely by two lions at the same time, the giraffe was shocked and woke up from its sleep. It was so scared that it raised its feet and started kicking wildly. After kicking several times, it found that there was a huge female lion growing on each side of its belly?!

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get rid of it. He was almost dying of pain, so he started to run towards the bushes. Only the bushes could limit the lion's room for maneuver, because the lion could not run away at all in the bushes.

I have to say, this idea is a good one. If he can successfully lure the lion into the bushes, then maybe he can really escape.

The tribe members had already run away in fear.

As a result, before he could run a few steps, he was pounced on by two lions who had been hiding in the bushes in front of him. A lion weighs at least 300 kilograms, so now, the weight hanging on his body weighs more than a ton...
