59 War
â—ŽAfter just one afternoon, the number of lionesses was reduced to two, which was a real pity.
The result is predictable. All the baboons saw the adult crocodile slowly crawling towards the baboon leader.
However, no baboon reminded the leader. All his subordinates stood on the river bank, quietly watching the crocodile open its big mouth. The next second, the leader was holding two crocodile eggs and was bitten in the crocodile's mouth.
The bite force of crocodiles is among the strongest of all animals. The baboon leader cried "chi chi chi" and looked at his subordinates in front of him in horror, hoping that they would come to save him.
However, his subordinates just watched silently, and no one stepped forward to rescue him.
Soon, the crocodile and the baboon leader disappeared in the middle of the water, until the ripples on the water surface gradually disappeared.
All the baboons on the other side of the river saw this scene, but no one said a word and they all watched silently.
Qiao Jinnian suddenly thought of human society. What is the difference between this and human society?
In the end, this tribal war ended hastily with the leader of this group being eaten by a crocodile.
Dazhuang returned to the tribe again and began to clean up his subordinates. Those who betrayed him were expelled from the tribe and had to wander around.
Qiao Jinnian was relieved and only hoped that when she came back next year, she would know that Dazhuang's tribe was doing well.
After returning to the territory, Yoyo's tribe had already left the territory and the prey in the territory had decreased.
At this time, the relationship between Ryan and his son and the hyena pack began to become tense.
In fact, they can stay here. Their current territory is relatively large and they can still catch prey. The only difference is that their diet needs to be slightly changed.
However, when Qiao Jinnian looked at the little zebra that was looking for grass to eat, there was no edible grass on the ground, only dead grass.
So the family prepared to head north.
After packing his quilt, releasing a few guinea fowl, and putting some tubers, a salt shaker, a kettle, and his weapons in a chicken cage, Qiao Jinnian had already streamlined his luggage.
So, Brother Lion became the main worker again.
However, the little zebra had grown a lot and was able to work, so Qiao Jinnian let the little zebra start carrying the luggage without any hesitation.
Qiao Jinnian gave the little zebra a simple name, Stripes, because the black and white stripes on his body looked very nice.
Being assigned a task means being treated as a family member. Stripe himself also likes this job very much. He rubs his head on the palm of Qiao Jinnian's hand to show closeness.
Except for Qiao Jinnian, the other animals had no luggage and set off as soon as they said they would. Ryan roared like a lion and everyone set off to the north.
This time, Qiao Jinnian looked back at the four younger brothers and sisters following beside her. Seeing that they were almost catching up with Sister Sa's height, she felt that perhaps they could cross the widest river.
Even Qiangzi has become much stronger. Last year, when Qiangzi was still a cub, he swam across the river all by himself. That was extraordinary bravery.
This time, Qiao Jinnian did not ride on the back of her lion father. She was already over two years old and would soon be three. In the lion world, she was a standard sub-adult and could no longer ride on her father.
So, this time she planned to run the whole way and follow the lion father.
Ryan led the way, Sister Sa brought up the rear, and all the sub-adults were in the middle.
Cloak, his wife and children followed far behind.
They avoided all lion territories along the way and headed north, hunting once every few days. After eating, they would rest for half a day and then continue on their way.
Qiao Jinnian also roasted a lot of dried meat at one time and took it with him to eat on the road, and made sure there was always water in the kettle so that he would not get dehydrated or suffer from heatstroke during the hot dry season.
During the journey, Ryan yelled at her several times, wanting her to ride on his back, but she refused.
If the lion father had the same lifespan as humans, Qiao Jinnian could still stick with her father for a few more years. Unfortunately, the lion father would also grow old one day. If she didn't stand up, she would be caught off guard.
On the way, they saw several unfamiliar lion groups, all heading north.
However, inevitably, there are always other lion groups that mistakenly enter the territory of other lion groups.
Conflict is inevitable. Under normal circumstances, lions will avoid such situations, but some lion groups always have a lucky mentality.
For example, right now, in this rocky lion territory, there is a lion group with more than a dozen female lions that have run into the territory of the local lion group and are preparing to capture a giraffe that is giving birth.
This is not a good time for childbirth, which means that the newly born giraffe needs to immediately escape.
A dozen or so lionesses besieged a giraffe, and originally had a good chance of winning. However, how could a pride of rock lions allow the prey in their territory to be stolen?
Thus, a fierce confrontation began between the two lion groups.
There were several lionesses involved in the scene, biting each other and roaring continuously, filling the sky with roars. Even the mother giraffe and her baby had run away, but no lion cared.
This is a battle for territory and cannot be underestimated.
In the end, one of the dozen or so lionesses was not paying attention and was injured in the stomach and legs, and instantly lost her fighting ability.
Then, the fighting continued, with neither side giving in.
The war was not stopped until all the lions had run out of stamina and the local lioness leader bit the neck of one of the other lions tightly.
Although the other side has many lions, many of them are old, weak and sick, unlike the local female lions who are all young and strong, and their fighting power is obviously stronger.
Finally, the enemy leader hesitated for a long time, walked cautiously to the local leader, slowly lay down with his head lowered, showing an absolute attitude of submission.
This was a very responsible leader's act, and it was against the dignity of the lion, but the leader was willing to put aside his self-esteem in order to save the member whose neck was bitten.
But even after this, the local chief still bit the lion to death with one bite.
After the battle, two lionesses' bodies were found on the ground. This was a warning from the local lion group to the other side, warning them not to hunt at will in their territory.
The number of more than a dozen lionesses was reduced to two after just one afternoon, which is really sad.
The lioness leader finally led the remaining members away dejectedly, leaving only two lioness corpses on the ground.
Soon after, a group of well-informed spotted hyenas appeared in time, surrounded the place and enjoyed the feast alone.
The grassland scavengers with excellent eyesight that had been hovering in the sky also flew to the outskirts of the battlefield. They were not in a hurry at all. They would wait until the spotted hyenas were full, and then it would be time for them to clean up the meat scraps between the bones.
Qiao Jinnian sighed, and the whole family continued to walk towards the east. In fact, they could have crossed the river directly from the west, but the lion group here had more territory and was more dangerous, so Ryan chose the same route he took last year and prepared to cross the river from the east.
When they arrived at the grassland in the east and passed by the elephant's territory, Qiao Jinnian even ran over to say hello to the elephant queen. They hadn't seen each other for several months.
She always hopes that the animals she knows are doing well.
Arriving at their territory from last year, everyone planned to rest here for a few days. After all, they were already very familiar with the territory here.
When passing through the elephant territory, there were two male elephants going on blind dates with the girls in the elephant herd, and Qiao Jinnian went to watch the fun.
A male elephant used his trunk to uproot a tree, and risked his life to roll up the leaves from the thorny tree and gave them to the elephant girl as an engagement gift.
So, Qiao Jinnian knew that this elephant had already joined the elephant herd next door and become a member.
Then, the male elephant who was not chosen was very angry and left the elephant territory angrily, and no one knew where he went.
Later, Qiao Jinnian saw him. Because there were many hippos in the river on the western grassland and had not left, the male elephant pulled out a tree by the river, rolled up the trunk, and threw it towards the hippos in the river to drive them away.
The hippopotamus had originally popped its head out with its mouth wide open, ready to fight the elephant, but in the end, it seemed to have estimated the tonnage of both sides and simply dived back into the river.
After a while, the bull elephant went crazy and walked straight into the river and rushed forward. All the hippos automatically began to make way for him and let him go forward.
The bull elephant walked straight ahead and ate up all the remaining algae on the water in one go.
The hippopotamus dared not speak out. Not only that, the male elephant seemed to be deliberately trying to provoke the hippopotamus. He even wanted to monopolize this territory and drive all the hippopotamuses out of the river.
This time, the hippos were not happy and attacked in groups. They fought all the way from the water to the river bank. The scene was very spectacular.
This was a decisive battle involving more than several thousand kilograms of weight. The other animals were so frightened that they quickly moved away from the battlefield for fear of being harmed innocently.
The elephant lowered its head, rolled up the mud, and threw it at the hippopotamus, very arrogantly.
Although hippos are much smaller than elephants, there are more of them here. They all opened their mouths wide, showing their fangs, and bit the elephant's legs.
The male elephant used his tusks to ram the other elephant fiercely. It was a horrific scene.
The bull elephant went completely crazy and started attacking indiscriminately.
The battle lasted for a long time until one hippo was injured and the other hippos were tired, so they left.
In fact, the male elephant did not gain any benefit either, as he also had several wounds on his body caused by hippo bites.
The male elephant turned around and walked to the other side, as if he was going to fight with other animals.
Qiao Jinnian was stunned. It seemed that she really couldn't stay on this grassland anymore.
I was daydreaming on the rock when I suddenly heard a "meow" sound.
Qiao Jinnian looked back and saw a cheetah, but to her, every cheetah looked the same. It was not until she saw the scar on his paw clearly that she realized that this was Xingxing, and it had grown so big!
Xingxing came to Yanshi to see what she was watching, so she squatted beside her and watched a heavyweight fight together. Only then did she speak up to remind her.
Qiao Jinnian looked back and saw only another cub at the entrance of the bushes, which was Xingxing's sibling, but did not see Xingxing's mother.
"Meow?" Qiao Jinnian shouted towards the bushes.
Xingxing's compatriots opened their big light green eyes and looked over timidly, but when they saw that Xingxing and the two-legged beast got along well, they came over.
Qiao Jinnian held one in each hand and stroked their chins. The two cheetahs lay on the rocks, making "gurgling" sounds from their mouths.
However, the whole afternoon passed, and Xingxing's mother still hadn't come to take her cub home...
