Jun Qi slowly carried his food into the cave with Xu Qiaoqiao and began to enjoy it.

The food scraps were left outside, far away, just like before.

That night, they hugged each other, said goodnight, and went to rest.

The next day, they faced their new neighbors.

Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi were incredibly enthusiastic. Of course, it was mainly Xu Qiaoqiao who was the main one. This elephant had a gentle personality, and no matter how much she and Jun Qi joked around, this guy wouldn't get angry.

I just often look at them with a questioning gaze.

The size difference between the two was too great, so the two little ones wouldn't hurt themselves no matter what they did. Therefore, the elephant often looked at Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi with curious and puzzled eyes.

What are they doing?

Due to language differences, neither party could understand the other's speech.

But the elephant could sense that the two little ones meant no harm; they came with goodwill.

This kind of life lasted for about a month. During this time, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi would often go for walks with the elephants. They even encountered a pair of hyenas. Normally, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi would always run away.

But it's different when you're with an elephant.

For example, at this moment, they encountered several hyenas again. Unlike last time, there were far fewer of them this time, only five or six.

Xu Qiaoqiao hid behind Jun Qi in fear. Jun Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, a fierce glint flashing within them. This time, the number was small.

"roar!"

The last time they encountered those hyenas, there were about a dozen of them, several times more than this time. At that time, Xu Qiaoqiao was terrified, while Jun Qi was trying his best to stop the hyenas' attack.

The elephant stood calmly to one side, glanced at the tiny creatures, and then trotted forward, kicking one after another.

He let out an angry shout.

This was the first time Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi had heard an elephant make such a sound; in the past month, all they had seen was its gentle nature.

"Yo yo".

Xu Qiaoqiao bounced around on the ground a few times. Jun Qi and the elephant could easily handle these hyenas. She looked down at her thin legs and thought, "Okay, this isn't my area of ​​expertise, so I'd better not get involved."

Jun Qi roared at those guys, looking eager to try, his claws digging at the grass on the ground, his eyes fixed on them.

Clearly, he had wanted to fight for a long time.

...

Several coordinated fights instantly warmed the friendship between Elephant and Junqi.

And that little deer.

Although he's not very good at fighting, he's quite cute, bouncing around in the back.

The elephant gradually accepted the two little guys walking beside it.

Sometimes, I would join in on their interactions, watching their movements, and sometimes I would touch the deer and the lion with my nose.

Gradually, without even realizing it, two little ones appeared beside him when he went for a walk. The deer was lively, and the lion was calm. It looked a little strange, but it was very harmonious.

There was also a big guy standing next to it.

Moreover, they are neighbors, and even their nighttime lodgings are very close.

The fawn, like himself, ate grass and fruit, but the lion was different; he preferred meat.

When the elephant noticed that it was starting to pay attention to the lion and the deer, it blinked, as if it had just realized what was happening.

I guess we can be considered friends.

As the three of them slowly walked back under the glow of the setting sun, the elephant glanced at the two little ones walking beside him and suddenly had this idea.

They're friends, right?

He made two new friends.

The elephant blinked, feeling as sweet as if it had drunk a whole jar of honey.

"Moo~~"

The elephant curled up its trunk, raised its head, and roared to the sky, expressing its joy.

He even imitated Xu Qiaoqiao's movements, jumping around on the ground a few times.

Immediately, a deep voice rang out.

It felt like the whole ground was shaking.

Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi swayed unsteadily, as if they were about to fall.

However, when they looked up and saw the elephant, and saw the excitement in its eyes, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi exchanged a glance, and gradually, a smile appeared in their eyes as well.

"Yo yo".

"roar."

A new friend.

It's great news that I've made new friends.

...

Elephants love playing in the water, a fact that Xu Qiaoqiao, Jun Qi, and the elephant discovered when they went to drink water together.

This was the first time Xu Qiaoqiao had ever seen an elephant put its long trunk into the water, drink up its fill, raise its trunk high, and then look at the two little guys next to it with a slightly mischievous look in its eyes.

"Moo—"

The elephant let out a deep roar, and its long trunk began to spray water outwards.

To be precise, it was spraying water at Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi.

"Yo yo!"

"roar!"

Xu Qiaoqiao instinctively jumped around in the water. Jun Qi tried to escape, but the elephant saw what they meant, stretched out its long trunk, and let out another loud call.

They forcefully sprayed the water further away.

Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi originally just wanted to drink some water, but who knew that the elephant would suddenly become playful and want to play in the water with them.

They were instantly soaked to the bone.

Xu Qiaoqiao: "..."

Jun Qi: "..."

The two of them exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with a hint of resentment as they looked at the elephant. This big guy was just relying on his size.

The elephant was clearly even happier when it saw the eyes of the two little ones. It stood on all four legs in the shallow water, which was not even as high as its legs.

"Moo." He was happy, so he jumped into the water.

Its heavy body caused the ground to shake.

The water rippled.

"Yo yo." You can't play in the water.

Xu Qiaoqiao let out a helpless cry at the elephant, but the guy clearly didn't listen. He stuck his trunk into the water again, obviously wanting to play the water-spraying game again.

"Yo-yo!" Junjun, run!

Xu Qiaoqiao shouted and started running towards the shore. Jun Qi immediately understood and followed Xu Qiaoqiao, running towards the shore as well.

Although the skin dries out easily, the moisture evaporates very quickly in this hot weather.

However, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi still didn't like the wet feeling.

Seeing that its new friend had run away, the elephant blinked, its smile deepening. After drinking its fill of water, it raised its trunk and ran towards the shore.

"Moo." Wait for me.
