93 Accident
◎The giraffe felt pain, but because its neck was too long, it usually made no sound. It could only spread its legs and ran towards the sand in panic.◎
Qiao Jinnian was afraid of losing her father, so she quickened her pace and followed the old man and the young boy not far behind.
The four lions crossed the sand and came to a relatively hard ground. This should also be sandy land, but not the kind of soft sand.
Under the moonlight, Qiao Jinnian saw some low bushes and a small lake in front of him.
The presence of lakes indicates that there must be herbivores here.
The water in this small lake appears shallow, but it is large enough for herbivores to drink.
After all, apart from those animals that are highly dependent on water and grass and will migrate long distances, there are still many herbivores that will stay on this grassland.
Sure enough, after a while, a giraffe that was seven meters tall appeared by the lake.
I didn't expect this giraffe to come here to drink water in the evening.
Ryan stopped and looked back at the two lions behind him, and of course, Qiao Jinnian.
But, just like Sister Sa, Lion Dad had no idea how to assign tasks to Qiao Jinnian.
Qiao Jinnian quickly understood what her father meant and hurriedly pulled out her hanging rope from her woven bag, intending to use it to catch the giraffe so that it would not run away.
The lion father soon understood what she meant. After all, he had seen her catch prey alive several times.
The other two lions obviously wanted to cooperate with them, so the lion father began to think of new ways of cooperation, hoping to hit the giraffe with one blow.
In fact, giraffes have such long necks that they are naturally hypertensive. To hunt giraffes, you just need to knock them down. Once their heads and hearts are at the same level, they will start to have cerebral congestion, go into shock immediately, and never get up again.
So, this is why giraffes sleep standing up. One reason is that they are afraid of falling and never being able to get up again, and the other is that they are afraid that lions will jump on their backs.
Now, the four lions are about to discuss the best hunting method, such as using ropes to capture the giraffes alive, and then jumping on their necks to knock them down. But the lion father must consider the attack of the giraffe's long legs. To be able to support such a large body, the long legs must have strong muscles and bones.
Therefore, a kick from a giraffe could directly kill a lion.
However, before the four lions finished their discussion, another herbivore appeared by the lake.
It was an adult bull elephant with huge tusks!
Qiao Jinnian: "..."
Now, they had to hide their bodies and wait until the elephants left completely before they could implement their hunting plan.
So the four lions found a bush, lay down behind it, kept quiet, and kept looking at the lake, waiting for the elephant to finish drinking water and leave quickly.
The giraffe in front of me spread its front legs, lowered its neck, and seemed to be drinking water from the lake with great effort.
The male elephant opposite also slowly scooped up water with his trunk to drink.
The two herbivores do not compete with each other and live in peace. They will leave one after another after drinking water.
Qiao Jin thought that if the giraffe left first, they would have to follow it.
Unexpectedly, when the giraffe in front turned around, the bull elephant opposite suddenly strode forward, raised the tusks in his mouth, and charged towards the giraffe.
The giraffe felt pain, but his neck was too long, so he usually made no sound. He could only spread his legs and run towards the sand in panic.
This male elephant was obviously a mad one. He inexplicably started attacking the giraffe, which was also a herbivore. Could it be that he felt that the giraffe was taller than him, so he started to feel unhappy?
The four lions hiding behind the bushes were all dumbfounded, but they also knew that today's hunting plan was temporarily shelved because the giraffe was injured and both of its tusks were stuck in the giraffe's belly.
So, soon, the giraffe will die on its own...
They had to get to the giraffe's carcass before the hyenas or other carnivores arrived.
"Moo--" The bull elephant chased the injured giraffe all the way.
After chasing for a while, the male elephant probably felt it was boring, so he stopped and walked towards the bushes beside him.
Now that was good, the four lions quickened their pace and continued to chase the giraffe.
"Huff, huff--" Qiao Jinnian didn't dare to stop. She had to speed up and not fall too far behind, otherwise she would slow down the lion father's pace.
Because dad would miss the prey because he was worried about her.
Qiao Jinnian was running for her life, it was the fastest chase in her life.
It was unknown how long it ran. When the predators began to gasp for breath, the giraffe finally fell to the ground with a "bang" due to excessive blood loss.
Fortunately, this was soft sand, so the noise was not as loud as it would have been on hard ground.
Ryan ran forward and gave the giraffe another bite. Seeing that the giraffe was completely dead, he lowered his head and began to eat the meat.
The prey was too big, so they had to eat it on the spot first, and then find a way to find other members of their lion group and call them to come for dinner tomorrow.
The little white lion and the old lion also ran forward, but hesitated for a moment and still did not start eating. They just held back their saliva and stood aside obediently, wanting to wait for the lion king to eat first.
Ryan ate a few bites of meat and growled impatiently at the two lions: "Roar—"
After getting permission, the two beasts pounced on the meat and ate it.
Obviously, they had been hungry for a long time. I believe they were malnourished and had to eat one meal a day. Especially the old lion, he was too weak.
There was no way, but he did not give up his life and was still trying to find a way to survive.
Qiao Jinnian also sat aside, drinking water and watching over her father.
The white lion was small after all, and it was full soon. Its belly was round and round, and it turned around and looked at her strangely, wondering why she, a lion, didn't eat meat?
Qiao Jinnian knew that it was difficult for the animals to understand her. After all, she had a strong smell of a lion and was obviously a lion cub, but she didn't try to steal the meat.
I touched the white lion's head and found a lot of blood on its mouth.
But he soon lay on the ground and began to wash his face, licking his paws, then lifting his paws and washing his eyes and face.
Soon, the blood on the white lion's face was licked clean by himself. It can be said that this kid is quite clean and is a good lion.
Because the prey was so big, the four of them had to guard here all night to prevent other predators from snatching the prey away.
Sure enough, just as they finished eating, two leopards appeared nearby.
Of course, these two leopards did not come to steal food. After all, leopards do not dare to steal the lion's prey because they are not strong enough.
So, when they saw these lions, the two leopards ran away instantly without stopping for a moment.
Soon, a pack of wild dogs ran out from the side, obviously having smelled the strong smell of blood.
But Ryan chased the wild dogs away and they were quickly driven away.
In one night, they were tried to be robbed by several groups of predators, but fortunately, there was still a male lion in its prime here, and those groups were roared away.
The next day, when the agreed gathering time came, the prey had no way to move, so Ryan had no choice but to pace and come to an open area, facing the sky, and roared loudly: "Roar, roar——"
This elongated roar is used to call companions, and in the open grassland, the sound can be heard from far away.
After waiting for a while, Ryan didn't hear any response from afar, so he had to walk closer to the grassland in front and continued to shout loudly.
After another pause of a few seconds, they finally heard the roar of a lion from the east, which was a response from Reiner's roar.
Very good, Reiner heard his father's roar and will soon come with a large army.
Ryan continued to yell, expecting Sister Sa's response.
After a long, long time, Sister Sa's roar finally came from the west.
The entire grassland is filled with the constant roar of lions. This is the roar of gathering, calling companions. Companions can also determine the specific location of family members based on the roar.
After waiting for a long time, the members who had gone in other directions finally ran towards the south.
The tribe members had been separated for a whole night, and they hurriedly came forward, rubbing against each other, expressing their longing for each other and exchanging information.
When the family members saw the huge giraffe, everyone was excited.
Great, this prey is enough to feed all members.
So Ryan squatted aside and watched the children eat with the lioness mothers.
The white lion and the old lion also squatted aside, looking very comfortable.
Dad ran so far yesterday and hadn't had any water yet. Qiao Jinnian took her own water cup and walked over to give Dad some water.
The lion father was not polite either. He opened his mouth wide and let her pour the liquid into his mouth, and then she licked the corners of his mouth.
This scene stunned the white lion, but the old lion was not surprised at all.
The whole family ate the meat for several hours before they finished eating the giraffe. Seeing that everyone was eating slowly, Qiao Jinnian simply took a deer leg and started to grill the meat for himself, preparing to save it and eat it as jerky in the next few days.
When all the meat is roasted, the whole family will be full.
Suddenly, the giraffe became a skeleton.
After they left here for a while, the scavengers that had been standing on the trees nearby flew over impatiently and cleaned up the battlefield.
Maybe Ryan has allowed the two lions to follow the lion group, or maybe the lion father is simply kinder. In any case, the two lions did not completely join them, but just followed them from a distance.
Of course, the old lion will not eat for free. He tries to hunt on his own every day, but because of his old body, his success rate is relatively low.
Ryan is still very optimistic about this old lion, perhaps it is a kind of sympathy for the hero in his twilight years.
The meat of this giraffe fed the entire tribe so much that the lions could take a break for the next few days and not rush to hunt.
The little lions are lively by nature, so they started playing around and biting each other, which helped them train their hunting skills.
The trees nearby were a bit low, so some little lions tried to climb them to practice their tree-climbing skills.
The little white lion lay down by the puddle and played by himself, but after a while, he found a stone that he could move by himself.
Qiao Jinnian saw that he had been gnawing on the stone.
When I got closer, I saw that it was a tortoise with its legs, feet and head retracted!
