37 Misunderstanding
◎Then she inexplicably became a robber?◎
The one with a broken tail, Qiao Jinnian called him Broken Tail, and the one with messy hair and looked a bit powerful, was called Brother Biao.
The two sides yelled at each other for a few words, and no one knew what happened.
Normally, if these were invading lions, they would have attacked right away, but they seemed to be discussing something important.
Then, I saw Sister Sa was the first to lose her temper, roaring at Brother Biao and Broken Tail: "Roar, roar——"
Not only did she roar, Sister Sa even rushed forward and scratched Brother Biao's face directly, but Brother Biao dodged by tilting his head.
Qiao Jinnian suspected that Sister Sa was from Brother Biao's lion group, but for some reason she didn't want to follow Brother Biao home.
Last year, Sister Sa was still the queen of the lion group. However, this year, Sister Sa not only gave birth to cubs, but also left the river lion group. Qiao Jinnian boldly guessed that perhaps Sister Sa’s lion group had a male lion, who was the biological father of the cubs. However, later, the biological father died, or was beaten away by these two lions. Then Sister Sa could only flee with the cubs alone, otherwise the male lions in the new territory would bite her cubs to death.
But Sister Sa's vision shouldn't be that bad. The cub looks very healthy, so based on this, the cub's biological father shouldn't be killed so easily.
This was a question she couldn't understand. Perhaps Sister Sa simply wanted to breed cubs for the lion group and didn't need male lions at all? The more Qiao Jinnian thought about it, the more she felt that this was the reason.
Sister Sa was so powerful that the two lions on the opposite side were scared and retreated repeatedly, but they did not go away. Instead, the two sides were completely engaged in a melee.
Ryan also joined the battle and started fighting with Brother Biao regardless of the consequences.
The scene was too chaotic, and Qiao Jinnian was sweating with anxiety. In contrast, Reiner and the four cubs were all quiet, as if it was the most normal thing.
However, as he watched, Qiao Jinnian realized that none of the four lions seemed to have the intention of killing each other. They were just competing to see who would win. No lion was attacking Ryan's spine or legs.
This matter was originally Sister Sa's own business, so Sister Sa looked particularly fierce. She was not at all afraid in front of the three lions. She caught Duanwei and beat him up. She slapped him several times in a row, causing Duanwei's head to rise high and roar towards the sky: "Roar——"
In the end, Brother Biao was defeated by Ryan's powerful attack. The two lions on the opposite side were in a bit of a mess and could only turn around and start running for their lives. While running, they kept looking back at Sister Sa.
As a result, they were met with another roar from Sister Sa, and they ran away even faster.
After the fight, Sister Sa and Ryan rubbed their heads together to show their intimacy, then they took slow steps, adjusted their breathing, and wanted to go back to find the cubs.
Unexpectedly, when the cubs saw their mother had finished beating, they actually shouted at her from a high place: "Awoo--"
Hearing the sound, Sister Sa looked towards the high slope not far away, baring her four canine teeth and cursing, "Ah, roar—"
The cubs were so frightened that their tails drooped and they timidly climbed down the slope. Then they were picked up in their mother's mouth and carried down the slope one by one.
Sister Sa didn't mean to blame Reiner and Qiao Jinnian, she just yelled at her own cub a few times.
From that day on, Qiao Jinnian felt that the atmosphere in the lion group was different. Ryan seemed to have decided to move, because he always came over to take a look when she was making cotton and hemp rope, as if urging her to hurry up.
Therefore, Qiao Jinnian did not dare to delay and made a big bag, taking the cotton quilt she had sewn, some twisted hemp ropes, salt wrapped in leaves, and spears. She was the only one who had belongings, and the other lions left the territory directly.
The bag was tied to Reiner's back, Qiao Jinnian sat on Ryan's back, and everyone moved towards the grassland further northeast.
This time, compared to last year, Qiao Jinnian has grown up a lot and has a spear weapon made by herself, so she can protect herself along the way.
They lived well in that territory. Qiao Jinnian suspected that Ryan thought Duanwei and Biaoge would come and cause trouble again. He didn't like to have conflicts with other lion groups, so he decided to move. Or maybe he thought there was more food in the east.
This time, the person leading the way was Sister Sa. After all, her original territory was nearby, and she was more familiar with the local terrain.
Along the way, Sister Sa took on a lot of hunting responsibilities and rarely rested. It was because there were four of her cubs in the team, so she thought she needed to do more so as not to be abandoned by the lion group.
Qiao Jinnian was silent for a while, but she understood Sister Sa's thoughts very well.
Perhaps, Ryan is the only male lion that Sister Sa has seen who will not bite her cubs to death, and will help her watch the cubs when she is hunting. He is very powerful, and Ryan himself has cubs with him, so no matter how you look at it, Ryan is a male lion that is very suitable for alliance.
From Ryan's perspective, Sister Sa is also very powerful. As for other reasons, Qiao Jinnian couldn't figure it out.
The eight lions of the pride walked along the river bank, trying to avoid the territories of other prides.
Sister Sa's tracking and hunting skills were superb, and they almost never went hungry.
That day, they were resting by the river again, and as a result, they met the cheetah who had just captured a little warthog.
This time, the cheetah was very confused and seemed to be racking his brains to figure out why the lion group here was so similar to the lion group on the other side that he had seen many days ago?
The reason why Qiao Jinnian was able to recognize this cheetah was because its eyes were very distinctive and seemed particularly smart.
Then, the cheetah threw the warthog it had already caught back there, turned around, and ran away!
Qiao Jinnian: “…” No, they are already full and have no intention of stealing the working leopard’s food. It’s unfair!
Ahhhh!
At this moment, Qiao Jinnian suddenly wondered if they looked incredibly menacing. It was like she'd gone to the bank, and everyone there had handed over their money, and then she'd somehow become a robber?
"Meow!" In a hurry, Qiao Jinnian shouted at the working leopard who had already run away.
In the entire grassland, only the working leopard roars like this cat, and they are extremely fast, so I don’t know if he heard it.
After a while, when Qiao Jin was thinking about how to deal with the warthog, the working leopard appeared in the bushes nearby, with only its head showing.
There were two black tear marks on his face, which was the biggest difference between a cheetah and a leopard, and the main reason why Qiao Jinnian could distinguish between cheetahs and leopards.
Of course, leopards are much larger than cheetahs. Leopards are masters of climbing trees, while cheetahs are speed champions.
"Meow--" Qiao Jinnian waved at him and imitated his voice.
The cheetah looked at the three adult lions in front of him. How could he dare to go forward? The reason why he hid in the bushes was because it was convenient for him to escape here. After all, he was more flexible.
Then, Qiao Jinnian yelled at Ryan again: "Roar--"
Ryan narrowed his eyes and looked at the cheetahs in the bushes. He had no interest at all. They had already eaten their fill and this was not their territory, so they had no interest in other predators. Besides, the cheetah was a weakling and its strength was far inferior to that of a lion.
Seeing that the lion had no objection, the cheetah followed closely and did not even touch the warthog he had thrown away. Instead, it walked directly towards Qiao Jinnian.
Cheetahs are naturally affectionate and don't even need to be tamed. Qiao Jinnian reached out and rubbed the top of his head, then pointed at the warthog on the ground and said, "Meow—"
The cheetah looked at the prey it had discarded, then at the cub in front of it, tilting its head uncertainly: "Meow?"
So, Qiao Jinnian took action himself, pulled the warthog over, and put it in front of his mouth, indicating that he could take his prey.
The cheetah didn't take it away, but lowered his head and started eating. Yes, he was beginning to completely trust this biped.
The other lions didn't want to look and looked elsewhere.
They must be very curious, how can this cub get along well with herbivores one moment and become friends with other predators the next?
For example, the jackal that disappeared from time to time to hunt, and the honey badger that hid in an unknown hole. But every time they moved, the jackal and the honey badger would follow.
After eating the meat, the cheetah lay down beside Qiao Jinnian contentedly, because Qiao Jinnian kept stroking his chin, and a comfortable "gurgling" sound came out of his throat.
He was so proud that he had long forgotten that he was in the territory of another lion group. Not only did he eat meat in the territory of another lion group, but he also slept next to the lions. This was enough for him to brag to his other cheetah brothers.
But how could Ryan allow such a predator to sleep soundly beside him? He walked over mercilessly and shouted condescendingly at the snoring cheetah: "Roar--"
The cheetah's entire body was covered in fur. As if in response to stress, it jumped up, turned in the air, did a Thomas turn, and ran away at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour!
Qiao Jinnian: “…” This reaction speed is amazing!
Far away from the lion group on the river, the eight members of the lion group, including the honey badger and the jackal, began to rest for three to five days in each temporary resting place before continuing to move east.
Originally, Qiao Jinnian could have crossed the largest river this year. After all, she had some self-protection skills and could ride on Ryan's back. However, because there were four more cubs in the team, they still could not cross the largest river and could only go east, where there would be more prey.
On the eastern grassland, they accidentally passed through an elephant habitat.
At this time, the lions were lying under a tree on the side of the road to rest, and three adult elephants from the elephant herd walked towards them.
Since the elephants also have to pass through this road, the best way for the lion group is to stand up quickly and make way for the elephants. So Ryan took the lead and walked to both sides of the road to allow the elephants to pass smoothly.
After these elephants passed by, they also raised their trunks as if to greet them.
Often, as long as they don't provoke the elephants, the elephants will not easily go against them. After all, lions cannot hunt adult elephants, and elephants do not eat lions. They have nothing to do with each other.
After passing through the herd of elephants, Ryan carefully sniffed around to make sure this was no-one's land. After determining the location, Ryan and Reiner went around roaring and marking the territory.
The lion group of eight was considered to have successfully moved and settled down in the eastern grasslands.
However, they were too close to the elephant's territory, so they didn't want to provoke the baby elephant. Instead, they saw a lone baby elephant in the territory, standing there pitifully, crying and looking for its mother.
Qiao Jinnian: "..." No, if this is misunderstood by the elephant, won't the eight lions be wiped out?!
