62 Internal strife
◎In the end, she had no intention of breaking the laws of nature, but some birds just love to shout when they see injustice.◎
When the other lion group saw that their leader had been released, they all rushed forward to see if his leader was still alive.
Seeing that the leader was just lying on the ground gasping for breath, he felt relieved and waited for the leader to stand up again.
Ryan and Sister Sa had just fought a big battle and were exhausted, so they lay down on the ground and took a short rest.
At this time, Reiner brought his younger brothers and sisters over and took them to eat meat first.
Ryan's lion group is considered weird in the eyes of other lion groups. How can there be a rule that the main fighting force rests on the side while the other sub-adults eat first?
Therefore, the eyes of the lions that had not left yet were filled with disbelief.
This was a huge blow to the other lion groups. Until the other leader completely recovered, struggled to stand up, and led the other lion group away, he did not completely leave the grassland, but observed this strange lion group from the side.
Qiao Jinnian sat under a big tree, eating her own dried meat, and watched as her lion group all lay down to eat the meat, while her father and sister Sa were still resting on the side. She walked over and poured the water in her kettle for her father and sister Sa to drink.
Can water be collected from trees and drunk? The lions who hadn't left were completely stunned. They had experienced too many terrible things that day and didn't want to leave anymore. They wanted to continue to see if there was anything else strange about this lion group.
However, Ryan saw that the defeated lions were still looking at the meat stealthily. He thought that these lions were still greedy and wanted to steal their food. So he stood up and made a low, driving sound at the lions: "Roar——"
It scared away all the lions who had never seen the world.
Now, the surroundings were refreshed, and the sub-adults ate the meat happily, but they were very restrained and left the best part to the lion father and sister Sa. After all, these two were the heroes of today.
He was very careful along the way. After all, there were predators everywhere. Ryan walked and smelled as much as possible, trying to reduce unnecessary wars among his own kind.
However, the carnivores stopped fighting, and the herbivores began to rub against each other.
Some of them are fighting for the right to graze because of the scarcity of grassland resources, while others are purely internal fights. For example, in a herd of zebras in the distance, there are several of the strongest male zebras who are engaged in a fierce battle for power. The fighting power of zebras is quite formidable.
The female zebras standing by watched from a distance. A total of four male zebras started a duel. They could basically be divided into two teams. One of the male zebras was obviously unfamiliar with the other three.
The male zebra snorted first: "Whee-whi ...
After snorting, the zebra rushed straight towards the three zebras, with its two front paws raised high and its mouth wide open, and it bit the other's face directly, but the other dodged it.
The other three zebras were not to be outdone and began to attack the zebra's head. Some even raised their front hooves high and placed them on his back. If you didn't know, you would think they wanted to ride on him.
And now is obviously not a good time to fight. Apart from their own lion group, there are several carnivores standing around with a covetous eye. Some are alone, such as leopards, and some fight in teams, such as lion groups, hyena groups, wild dog groups, and even a group of vultures soaring in the sky who come to check out the situation after hearing the fight.
Vultures are the most well-informed and have excellent vision. They are the first to discover where there is a fierce battle or where there are dead animals.
Of course, it is not a good time for other carnivores to hunt them while the male zebras have not yet decided the winner.
Until the male zebra from another tribe defeated the other three male zebras, and all the female zebras accepted him and were willing to reproduce for him.
At this time, the lion groups would pick out the zebras that were easiest to hunt. After all, the zebra's hind legs were quite powerful, so the zebras were the easiest to catch.
Generally, the way a mother zebra protects her baby zebra is to let the baby stand beside her, so that in the eyes of carnivores, the black and white stripes of the baby zebra and the mother's are perfectly integrated, so the baby zebra cannot be seen. But at this time, the zebra team is completely in chaos, the baby zebra's figure is revealed, and the carnivores have found the best opportunity to rush forward.
Including Sister Sa, there was also a lion leading the way, but she did not try to catch the little zebra. After all, the three adult lions have a big appetite, not to mention the sub-adults.
Last year, Qiao Jinnian witnessed Sister Sa's superb hunting skills as she hunted an adult zebra. At that time, Sister Sa was the only lion fighting alone, and she could resolve all the attacks of the zebra one by one. Now, with Reiner added, the chances of winning are even greater.
Well, not really. Reiner played no role at all. At most, he helped Sister Sa to chase the herd of zebras, making the herd even more chaotic.
In short, when the zebra used its rear kick, Sister Sa lay down to avoid the attack, then jumped again and hung her mouth on the zebra's neck, dragging the adult zebra so hard that it couldn't bear the weight of hundreds of pounds and fell to the ground with a bang.
After a while, Sister Sa's huge bite force caused the zebra to die from excessive blood loss.
At this time, the whole family came over to eat together, including the jackal family with their children.
The jackal completely became a younger brother of the lion group. He even got married, had children, and brought his whole family with him.
But Cloak is a good brother. Usually, he helps a lot and goes hunting on his own. He is different from those other grassland brothers who eat and drink for free.
Only Stripes, who was standing aside and eating grass, looked at the group of zebras from afar, and seemed to realize that he might be a zebra.
Qiao Jinnian didn't know whether he knew that he was a zebra. Even though his mother was in the same tribe, the smell of the animals had changed a lot because they hadn't seen each other for so long. He was afraid that his mother might not recognize him anymore.
All the animals around him were eating zebra meat, but Stripes was not afraid. He just stood on the grass and ate the grass calmly. Anyway, he was standing in the temporary territory of the lion group, and no other carnivores dared to eat him.
After several carnivores succeeded in their hunts, the zebras on the grassland became chaotic, running around and screaming constantly.
After eating the meat, the remaining meat was handed over to the surrounding hyenas that had not yet eaten their fill, as well as the grassland scavengers that had been waiting nearby.
The whole family continued to move north. After all, Ryan had not found a suitable territory yet. Although there were herbivores everywhere here, the grassland in the north was too small to accommodate so many animals.
So Ryan walked all the way and came to a swamp. Here he found a relatively quiet place with water and many herbivores.
There were no other lion groups here. Ryan chose a territory and followed Reiner to mark it. He thought the place didn't need to be big, after all, there were a lot of prey, so just guarding this swamp would be enough.
There is no lion group here, but there is a group of spotted hyenas. When the lion group moved in here, it scared the spotted hyena queen.
However, Ryan did not come here to fight with the spotted hyenas or compete for prey. After all, there is a buffet here every day, and it is his own kind that he should be wary of.
Star and Freckles will go hunting on their own, and their hunting success rate is even higher than that of most lion groups. This is mainly because Sister Sa in their own lion group is not an ordinary lion.
The two cheetahs got themselves a gazelle, which was their favorite meat and just enough for their appetite.
After a few days of having buffets every day, Qiao Jinnian even forgot about the days when she couldn't see her father Lion at night.
Because Ryan is now the one looking after the children, he watches over her every night, along with the four sub-adults.
Qiao Jinnian also brought the guinea fowl she loved. Every time she moved, she only brought two, mainly for the eggs.
The tubers were also brought here and planted directly in the swamp. There is no shortage of water here, so they should grow easily.
But as the climate became drier, the water level in the swamp continued to drop, and more than half of the birds here fled, probably to where there was more water.
Ryan didn't plan to go any further because the further north he went, the more animals there were and the more crowded it became. Here, there was food and drink, and he didn't even have to hunt. Life was simply too good.
Qiao Jinnian quite admires the lion father's attitude of retiring to the countryside, and feels that he is open-minded and cheerful.
Holding the lion father's huge lion face, Qiao Jinnian observed it carefully: "Wow, Ryan is so handsome, whose father is so handsome?"
"Roar--" The lion father had originally closed his eyes to rest, thinking that the cub just wanted to rub his mane. Unexpectedly, the cub became more and more demanding, raised his lion head high, looked left and right, and said a bunch of nonsense.
After being roared at by the lion father, Qiao Jinnian was not a brave man and was not afraid of him at all. She even smacked his always stern face.
If this happened in human society, the father would be extremely happy. However, for the lion father, it was meaningless. He just thought that the cub was licking its fur, so he stretched out his long tongue and washed her face again, then closed his eyes and lazily relaxed.
There were still some flamingos in the river, lowering their heads and struggling to find food in the water. Most of the others had already left.
Qiao Jinnian counted them, but there were only nine, less than ten. He didn't know when these ones would leave.
Soon, she had no time to think about when the flamingos flew away, because the spotted hyena queen and her tribe were lurking behind the flamingos, ready to prey on them.
Qiao Jinnian shook her head and could only watch helplessly, hoping that the flamingos would be more alert.
As a result, she had no intention of breaking the laws of nature, but some birds like to roar when they see injustice.
A small white bird standing on a branch suddenly issued a sharp alarm call when the spotted hyenas were about to rush out: "Gugugugu——"
The next second, the flamingo quickly dodged the attack and flew away from the swamp.
The queen of spotted hyenas was very angry, so she took her tribe to find the bird to argue with it. Unfortunately, the bird could fly and was difficult to catch.
Qiao Jinnian originally thought all this was very funny. However, when Sister Sa went hunting, this bird actually ruined several great hunting opportunities.
So she looked up at the bird on the branch, wondering whether she should give Sa Dadan a meal.
