80 Secondary 2
◎ Sa was the one who walked over and bumped Qiangzi's stomach with his big lion head to show his encouragement.◎
This was something Qiao Jinnian had not expected, so what was Sa Dadan going to do?
There are at least five adult lions in that lion group. Are these three younger brothers crazy?
Qiao Jinnian was too nervous. These three younger brothers were too bold. It was like teenagers in human society challenging five adult boxers. They were simply overestimating their own abilities.
But, fortunately, this wild dog queen is quite tough. She is a rare queen who is willing to fight to the death for her prey.
At first, when the three younger brothers joined the battlefield, the Wild Dog Queen thought that the other three lions in the lion group had joined together. They made "oo oo oo" sounds from their mouths, as if they wanted to retreat. After all, saving their lives was the most important thing.
However, unexpectedly, these three sub-adults directly attacked the adult lion.
Sa Dabing was rather straightforward and didn't care whether the opponent's mane was longer than his or whether the opponent had more experience than him. He just clapped his claws at the opponent, opened his mouth wide, stood up his upper body, and seized the opponent's momentum.
There were constant lion roars at the scene. Sa boldly restrained the male lion, while Sa Short-face stood directly next to his brother, roaring warnings at the female lions around him, baring his teeth, and looking particularly ferocious.
Qiangzi also followed his brother. Although he was much smaller than the lioness, he kept roaring and trying to scratch the lioness's back.
The two lion groups were caught in a melee, which left the wild dog queen dumbfounded, not knowing what was going on.
However, the Queen, adhering to the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, decided to take advantage of the opportunity to start taking back ownership of the food.
The Wild Dog Queen was relatively small, but she was very effective in commanding. She barked orders at the soldiers: “Oh oh oh oh——”
Two of the wild dog soldiers took the puppies away from the scene and escorted them home, while the other part began to line up in a fan-shaped formation and began to harass the enemy lion group from behind, using a tactic of harassing them one by one, focusing on a continuous but absolute main force.
When one of the wild dogs is attacked, the other members will rush forward, surround the opposing lion, and bite it from front to back, left to right, leaving you with no way to resist, because the lion will be covered with wild dogs and can only anxiously circle around, trying to protect its own butt.
Like hyenas, wild dogs are also good at attacking animals' butts, because the butt is the biggest weakness of animals. Lions must be particularly careful and ensure that their butts are at a safe angle at all times.
With the direct attack of three underage lions and the continuous harassment from wild dogs, the majestic lion group was instantly put in a passive position.
Seeing this, Qiao Jinnian couldn't help but start to admire Sa's bold courage. He was a real fierce warrior. First of all, he overcame the sub-adult's natural fear of adult lions. He didn't even consider whether he could defeat them. He just went up and fought.
Sometimes, fights between lions do not necessarily rely on strength and technical suppression, but may also rely on absolute crushing of momentum.
Seeing his younger brothers daring to challenge the adult lion group, Qiao Jinnian felt a sense of pride and was extremely excited.
Of course, in fact, she has not yet figured out why Sa Dadan wants to attack the lion group.
The three-way melee lasted for about half an hour, with no sign of a winner.
The main reason is that the adult lion group is powerful, the sub-adult lion group is brave and invincible, the wild dog queen has good guidance, and the three parties are united and cooperative. None of them has absolute crushing strength.
In the end, the wild dog pack had to suspend the fight because one of the wild dogs was injured.
Often, the number of wild dog groups can reach dozens, but this group is not large, so the wild dog queen also has her own considerations: life or food? This is a question worth thinking about.
The adult lions stopped fighting. The most important reason why Qiao Jinnian was suspicious was that they had just eaten a hippopotamus a few days ago and were not starving to death. Their fighting spirit was not strong and there was no need for them to risk their lives.
Only Sa Dabing was like a madman. Even though the opponents had stopped fighting and started running in circles, he still chased them for hundreds of meters, roaring loudly to drive away the lions.
"Roar--" Sa Dabing opened his mouth wide and roared with all his might in his voice, which was not that low yet. He felt his throat was a little hoarse.
Sa Duanmian leaned against his brother and rubbed his mane against his brother to celebrate his victory.
Only Qiangzi seemed not good at expressing his emotions, but he also blinked and looked at the fleeing adult lions. A relaxed expression seemed to be seen on the calm lion's face.
It was Sa who boldly walked over and bumped Qiangzi's stomach with his big lion head to express his encouragement to him.
Qiangzi licked his big mouth, turned around and went back to enjoy the wildebeest's meat with his brother.
The wild dog queen did not fight with them. She led her tribe and lay on the edge of the lion group, waiting for the three sub-adults to finish eating so that they could go over and continue enjoying.
This is just a stopgap measure. The wild dog tribe has already lost two soldiers and there is no need to continue to bear the loss. The sub-adults cannot be eaten anyway, so just wait a while.
Qiao Jinnian finally understood why Sa Dadan had to fight with the lion group, because this wildebeest was originally valued by his younger brothers, and later it was hunted by a pack of wild dogs. There was nothing wrong with that, and the three younger brothers could only blame themselves for their bad luck.
However, the wild dog group was eating well, but the lions passing by insisted on coming over to steal the food. This ignited the self-esteem of the three sub-adults. Why?
If you can eat it, why can't we?
This is the simple mentality of a middle school boy. Qiao Jinnian said that he understood it very well and was proud of his younger brothers because they grabbed the food through their own efforts.
The three of them ate slowly, and when they finished, they gave the battlefield to the wild dog queen and let the wild dog tribe eat the remaining meat.
The three sub-adults lay beside them, licking their front paws and washing their faces with their paws, just like three cute big cats.
Although she missed her younger brothers a little, Qiao Jinnian had no plans to meet them. She just hoped that they would get better and better.
After packing up her things, Qiao Jinnian went to the grassland in the east to pick up Xingxing, Freckles, and Allen.
At that time, she asked them to stay here in order to go to the east to see the canyon, and now she asked them if they still wanted to go back to the southern grassland with her.
In fact, her way of communicating with the animals is very simple now. She just needs to point her finger in the south direction, and the animals will understand that she is going home.
Alan seems to be doing well, and he still hasn't formed an alliance with other bull elephants. This is a practical problem. He is of no benefit to other bull elephants because he is injured. Their nose is their most important organ, which is like a human losing an arm. For an elephant, this is a very serious disability.
Therefore, Qiao Jinnian felt that Allen had some psychological problems. He would often wander back and forth in one place to pass the time.
For highly social animals like elephants, they have a great need for companionship and cannot tolerate loneliness.
So, Qiao Jinnian pointed to the south, then turned back to look at Allen and said, "Alan, come home with me? Moo——"
Allen raised his nose, half of it drooping to the ground, and made a sound: "Moo--"
Then, Qiao Jinnian went to the rock circle and found Xingxing and Freckles. Freckles had already given birth to five cubs, exactly like her mother, and could give birth to five in one litter.
At that time, the three male cheetahs had left their territory and no one knew where they went, but that didn’t matter. Cheetah mothers raise their children alone, which is their nature.
Of course, there are occasional cases of cheetah fathers raising their children in nature, but it is very rare, unless the cheetah mother dies. In addition, the cheetah mother may be pregnant with the children of several male cheetahs at the same time, which makes it difficult to tell.
Now, not only is Freckles not raising the cubs alone, she even has the help of her biological brother. This is simply unique in the cheetah world and it's incredible!
Qiao Jinnian cast an admiring glance at Xingxing. This must be the greatest uncle in the cheetah world!
Accompanying her friends, Qiao Jinnian let Cloak lead the way, and everyone prepared to go home.
Along the way, the animals from other tribes were stunned at the sight of this strange combination. Although their facial expressions were simple and they did not show any surprise at all, they kept staring at Qiao Jinnian about this strange combination.
Because this group includes herbivores, top predators, the largest mammals on the grassland, and even the honey badger appears from time to time.
All this is normal for Qiao Jinnian. After all, these friends are people she has known for a long time.
With the arrival of the rainy season, the grasslands are crowded with migrating herbivores, and everyone's life becomes better.
Star and Freckles would go hunting on their own and feed the five cubs. At this time, the cubs would stay with Qiao Jinnian.
If the cheetah raises her cubs by herself, the cubs may be hidden in a rock cave by her mother, and they may be eaten by hyenas or leopards. Therefore, if a cheetah mother gives birth to five cubs, only one may be left in the end.
Now, Qiao Jinnian has so many friends around her. Everyone watches the cubs together and prevents them from running around, so Star and Freckles can hunt more efficiently.
However, when the cheetahs come back from hunting, Qiao Jinnian also needs to go hunting alone again.
Because she needs to practice her hunting skills and cannot always rely on her family, hunting can not only obtain food, but also ensure that she is strong enough.
Through these months of experience, she has learned to face difficulties and solve problems on her own, not to live in the protection of her lion father, and has also strengthened her courage.
In front of me is a gazelle, which is the cheetah's favorite prey, but they are very good at escaping. Their most powerful skill is changing lanes quickly in the air. They run very fast, and most of the time, they can successfully escape from the predator's mouth.
But Qiao Jinnian wanted to try to catch a gazelle, even though she didn't have the cheetah's flexible body and ability to accelerate instantly.
Holding his bow and spear, Qiao Jinnian filled his cup with water and ran towards the herd of gazelles, picking out a female gazelle that didn't look as strong.
