Chapter 78 It's a bit too cute!

At midnight, all the photographers nearby gathered around Andrew's territory.

Everyone was on tenterhooks, and they couldn't help but start guessing Andrew's next move.

He would definitely drive Maria away, this is an indisputable fact.

But what's the next step after driving her away?

Will the brave and warlike Andrew choose to continue tracking until he kills Mary's cub, or is it enough to just drive them out of the territory?

Andrew, who was being watched by many photographers, was pacing back and forth around his cub, Ye Yunian.

Andrew was very annoyed.

Although Andrew is already a strong adult leopard, at the age of five, this is the first time that he has encountered so many bad things in one day.

Andrew swung his long tail, knocking the tall grass around him to pieces. At this moment, he was thinking. If

the cub doesn't want to go with him, Andrew will definitely not take the cub away by force.

After all, the cub is no longer a little leopard now, and it can't be taken away by biting the neck.

So Andrew will definitely confront Angela.

But after all, Angela and Andrew had a relationship, and Andrew also knew the purpose of her trip - to find the cub.

As long as Andrew is willing to let her take the cub away, Angela will not conflict with Andrew.

In other words, the biggest trouble now is still this strange leopard approaching the edge of his territory.

Andrew made a decision, turned his head and looked at his cub again before moving forward.

Ye Yunian knew that Andrew had made a decision.

He chose to ignore Angela and go to fight this strange leopard.

By analyzing the breath of this leopard, Ye Yunian knew that she was a female leopard.

In most cases, the fighting power of female leopards is not as good as that of male leopards.

In addition, Andrew is very strong, so Ye Yunian does not think that Andrew will lose.

But even so, Ye Yunian is still a little worried.

Maria is still on the way.

Ye Yunian turned back and sniffed the scent of his own leopard mother. After hesitating for a while, he still opened his legs and followed Andrew.

Andrew looked at his cub in confusion.

Ye Yunian howled at Andrew affectionately, meaning: I'm with you, I can help!

Ye Yunian didn't want to see the animals close to him get hurt again.

But in the animal world, fighting will never stop.

Ye Yunian couldn't avoid every fight. He just hoped that when a fight broke out, he could stay with the animals close to him and try his best not to let them get hurt.

Or as soon as they were injured, they would turn around and ask the photographers who were filming nearby for help.

Anyway, Andrew and his leopard couldn't get by!

Ye Yunian walked up to Andrew and rubbed his big fluffy head against him.

Andrew was a little confused.

Wait, wasn't the cub unwilling to go with him just now?

Why is it willing now?

Should he leave with the cub or... ?

The breath of Maria came again.

Andrew roared angrily and made his choice.

He had to drive away this outsider who tried to intrude into his territory.

Andrew was confident that he could protect his cub, so he did not refuse Ye Yunian's following.

The next moment, the leopard ran in the tall grass.

Andrew ran so fast that Ye Yunian could not catch up with him without trying hard!

Ye Yunian gritted his teeth and tried to speed up again.

There was no light on the grassland. Leopards have good night vision, but humans cannot.

So when the two leopards were running hard, two lights were lit up next to them, recording their running figures.

But in just a few minutes, the distance between Andrew and Maria was only a few hundred meters.

Maria, who sensed the danger, stopped first. She looked back uneasily and shook her tail.

The cubs following her also sensed the danger and began to flee in all directions.

Soon, the figures of the three cubs disappeared on the tall grassland, leaving only Maria, a leopard, and she chose to fight the angry Andrew alone.

And Andrew also stopped at this time.

He was not a reckless leopard, so when he was still some distance away from Maria, he roared a warning again.

This was Andrew's last warning.

If Maria still ignored his warning this time and chose to stay here, Andrew would start a fight.

Ye Yunian followed Andrew from a distance and saw that Andrew was already hiding in the tall grass.

He was crawling on the ground, with his forearms slightly crouched and his back arched high. This was a standard posture for preparing before an attack.

At this time, Ye Yunian had better not go forward to disturb the confrontation between the two sides, so Ye Yunian slowly slowed down and stopped.

He panted heavily, and then began to look at the other leopard more than a hundred meters ahead.

The strange leopard was also hiding in the tall grass, and it was difficult to detect her presence with the naked eye.

But the smell of her in the air was very strong. By locating the smell, Ye Yunian finally locked his eyes on one place.

He held his breath and stared at the front with a little nervousness.

For a long time, there was still no movement in the bushes ahead.

Maria told Andrew with her silent actions that she was not going to retreat.

Everyone's heart strings were tightened at this moment, and the atmosphere was tense.

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the bushes in the distance.

Ye Yunian turned his head quickly to look, and Andrew's attention was also attracted.

The one who reacted the most was naturally Maria.

She was still standing there confronting Andrew, but after hearing the scream, she jumped up without hesitation and ran away.

With Maria's departure, the tense atmosphere began to relax.

But what happened in front?

The photographers who had been following them hurried to catch up.

Thanks to the bright headlights of the photographers, Ye Yunian and Andrew also saw the situation in front clearly -

the scream was made by a young leopard.

He was only a little over a month old, with a small body, hiding in the tall grass, and it was difficult to detect his existence with the naked eye.

But not every cub learns to hide its breath and detect dangers around it.

At least this cub has not learned it yet.

He listened to his mother Maria and ran away to hide.

But not far from where he was hiding, a prairie wild dog was looking for food.

There are many predators in the African savannah, and there are countless small predators.

And without exception, as long as these small predators find lion or leopard cubs, they will choose to kill the cubs without hesitation.

When Maria hurried over, the African wild dog that bit the cub had already run away, but its damage actually fell on the little leopard.

The photographers looked at this scene and shouted in despair: "Oh! No——"

And the one who was more despaired than them was naturally Maria's mother.

The little leopard was not bitten to death immediately. The horrible wounds on its body were still oozing blood. When it saw its mother rushing over, it let out a miserable howl and tried to struggle to stand up.

But how could his broken body support him to stand up?

Maria looked at her child sadly. She approached and smelled the cub, as if she wanted to try to pick him up.

But the cub's neck was almost bitten off. How could Maria start?

Ye Yunian saw this scene from a long distance.

A trace of pity flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

Having lived in nature for so many years, he had long been accustomed to the cruelty of nature.

The African wild dog was going to bite the little leopard to death. Even if there was human intervention today, the little leopard would probably not survive.

Today's battle ended early before it even started.

Maria, who had just lost a child, would not take risks with her child again, and she decided to retreat.

And Andrew was also a little confused by this change.

As early as on the way here, Andrew smelled the scent of several cubs.

If it were in the past, Andrew would definitely choose to attack the cubs first without hesitation.

After all, cubs are very weak, and most of the time, mothers will choose to protect their cubs first.

Once Maria also starts to protect her cubs, there will be no doubt about the outcome of this battle.

But now is different from the past.

Andrew is also a leopard with cubs now!

He knows how cute cubs are, and he can probably understand the protectiveness of other female leopards.

So in this battle, Andrew didn't think about attacking Maria's cubs at the beginning.

He went straight for Maria.

But now he hasn't even made a move!

This has nothing to do with him!

Andrew looked back at Ye Yunian who was not far away.

His beautiful and well-behaved cub was lying on the ground at this time, looking forward with a pair of eyes very seriously, and just looking at it, his handsome face seemed to wrinkle together.

Maria was ready to retreat with the remaining surviving cubs, so Andrew didn't warn her anymore, but turned and walked towards Ye Yunian.

Just as Andrew approached and was about to lower his head to rub Ye Yunian, Ye Yunian suddenly stood up.

Ye Yunian looked ahead in disbelief.

The night was too dark, so the shadow hidden in the grass was not very obvious.

If it weren't for the photographers' headlights, Ye Yunian would most likely not have found him. It was not

until the light shone on the tiny cub and he squinted his eyes to look over that Ye Yunian dared to confirm that it was indeed a cub, and an extremely rare pure black leopard.

But this is not the point.

The point is that under the cub's right eye, there is a tuft of white hair that is exactly the same as Song Yi's in his previous life.

Ye Yunian clearly felt that his breathing had stopped for a moment, and his heart, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly resumed its violent beating at this moment. He stood up without thinking.

This action not only scared Andrew, but also scared the little black panther in the distance.

Although there was a long distance between them, Ye Yunian's aura was stronger than that of the little black panther, which still scared him.

The little black panther followed his mother, and was obviously scared to death, but he still breathed in the direction of Ye Yunian and Andrew with his teeth and claws.

Ye Yunian did not move, he just stared at him blankly.

Just as he was hesitant to step forward, Maria turned around and glared in their direction, then she lowered her head and picked up the little black panther, and then left without hesitation with the little black panther and another little leopard that followed her. The

little leopard that was left there could no longer make a sound at this time. He lay in a pool of blood, and his breathing became weaker and weaker.

Nature is so cruel.

Even though they had just experienced death, they didn't have much time to be sad.

In order to protect the remaining two children, Maria had to cheer up, and their figures soon disappeared in the grassland in the vast night.

Ye Yunian was still stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Could he be Song Yi?

Ye Yunian asked in a low voice in his heart.

No, he must be Song Yi.

Ye Yunian was very confident, and a huge joy instantly enveloped Ye Yunian.

Great!

I finally found Song Yi!

No wonder I couldn't find Song Yi when I looked for him everywhere some time ago. It turns out that he is still a cub now, and he is not old enough to leave his mother yet!

Ahhhhh——

Song Yi, who is still a cub, is a little too cute!

Ye Yunian smelled the air and noticed that Maria was taking Song Yi and her other children farther and farther away.

For a moment, Ye Yunian was very hesitant.

Should I chase after them?

Ye Yunian just thought about it for a moment in his heart and gave up the idea of ​​chasing after them.

First of all, Maria had just lost a child at this time, and her nerves must be highly tense. If Ye Yunian followed her at this time, it would only increase Maria's anxiety.

Even if Ye Yunian conveyed friendly intentions to Maria, Maria would not believe her strange leopard.

In addition, Song Yi is still too young now!

He seems to be just over a month old, and he has not been weaned yet. Even if Ye Yunian picked him up, Ye Yunian himself can't keep him alive!

Wouldn't this simply increase the difficulty of Song Yi's survival!

Finally, the most important thing is that Ye Yunian is still just a sub-adult leopard.

It's a bit difficult to even keep himself alive, let alone keep another Song Yi who still needs to be fed.

Letting Song Yi stay with his mother is the most correct choice.

But this does not mean that Ye Yunian will give up and go to Song Yi.

Song Yi is still a cub!

A small, soft ball, and looks very cuddly!

Ye Yunian heard his heart pounding, and he couldn't help but look up and sniff the remaining smell in the air again.

Well, I found it, this smell is the breath of Song Yi -

eh?

Wait, how come the smell of the mother leopard is so close?

Ye Yunian noticed something and turned back in time.

Andrew, who was more alert than him, had already run to the side at this time.

After a month, Angela finally found her cub, and the cub responded to her call. How could Angela not be excited?

But she was not happy for long, she noticed that Andrew started to move the cubs!

This damn Andrew!

Where is he going with the cubs?

Angela was so anxious that she sped up again.

It was also at this time that Angela noticed a hint of unusual smell.

Although it was far away, Angela still smelled Maria's scent.

Why is there the smell of another female leopard in Andrew's territory?

As an experienced female leopard, Angela's first thought was Andrew's new target.

Male leopards don't need to raise cubs.

Every year they would enter the estrus period at a fixed time, but the female leopards who raised cubs last year could not enter the estrus

period every year, so often at this time, the male leopards would look for a new partner.

It is normal for male leopards to have many partners, and even female leopards cannot find the same leopard to give birth to cubs every time they are in estrus.

But damn Andrew clearly already has a new partner and new cubs, why did he run away with his cubs!

It just so happened that she heard Andrew's threatening roar!

He actually dared to threaten her!

Angela was furious.

Without thinking, she quickened her pace again.

What Andrew never thought was that his roar threatening Maria was actually misunderstood by Angela!

This is really unfair to Leopard!

But how can animals communicate with each other through language?

So when Andrew saw the furious Angela rushing towards him, he was really confused.

Not only Andrew, but even Ye Yunian was dumbfounded.

Wait!

Why is she going towards her biological father, the leopard!

Ye Yunian didn't think twice and rushed forward to stop her.

You can't fight, you can't fight!

We finally solved a crisis, how can you two really fight!

Angela was really angry.

But she was still rational when she was angry.

After seeing the cub that she hadn't seen for a long time rushing up and blocking Andrew, Angela stopped in time.

But even if she stopped, she couldn't avoid beating Andrew.

Andrew admitted.

The reason why he chose Angela to mate with him was because he thought this leopard was good-looking and powerful, and the cubs born from the two of them would definitely be excellent.

But no matter how powerful Angela was, he was not afraid!

So, the moment Angela became aggressive, Andrew became aggressive back.

Who is afraid of who!

If he had not been stopped by the cub just now, he would have definitely pinned Angela to the ground and beat her up!

Ye Yunian stood between the two leopards and felt that his head was big for the first time.

No, there is a leopard between them, how can you still quarrel?

And!

Why are you quarreling?

Ye Yunian was in a good mood today.

Because he not only mastered a new hunting skill, but also found Song Yi.

Although Song Yi is not with Ye Yunian now, Ye Yunian is very happy as long as he knows that Song Yi is healthy.

So even though he could hear the roar of his father leopard on one side and the roar of his mother leopard on the other side, Ye Yunian was not angry.

Not only was he not angry, but he turned his head with extra patience, first "meowing" twice at his father leopard to soothe his father leopard's emotions.

He turned his head to look at his mother leopard again, and before she opened her mouth to roar at her father leopard again, Ye Yunian moved his head to her.

The mother and son had not seen each other for more than a month.

Seeing her son standing in front of her in good health again, Angela could no longer hold back, and took a step forward, first sniffing the cub's breath to determine his condition.

Knowing that the cub was not injured, Angela's hanging heart was relieved a little.

But then she found that the cub seemed to have lost a lot of weight after leaving her.

So Angela yelled at Andrew angrily again.

Andrew naturally became even angrier.

Angela was really confused!

If it weren't for his care, the cub would have been starved to death!

She didn't take good care of the cub, but now she blames herself!

Too much!

Andrew yelled at Angela several times in anger, then turned his head and howled at the sky.

The roar of the leopard echoed for a long time in the quiet grassland at night.

After all, neither Andrew nor Angela felt that they were wrong.

If it weren't for Andrew/Angela, how could the cub become so thin.

The former "couple" who hadn't seen each other for almost a year quarreled after meeting.

But what surprised everyone was that they didn't really do anything.

Because there was a leopard cub standing between the two leopards.

The cub was obviously having a headache listening to the roars on both sides of his ears.

But even so, the little leopard didn't leave. In fact,

because it was a little tired of standing all the time, the little leopard simply lay down on the grass.

Occasionally, when Andrew got angry and couldn't help but take two steps forward, Ye Yunian would use his head to butt Andrew's arm, signaling him to take a few steps back.

There were also times when Angela was so angry that she almost jumped over Ye Yunian and was about to beat Andrew. Ye Yunian would get up in time, circle Angela with his tail, and then rub Angela's head with his head.

Andrew likes his cubs very much.

So when he saw the cub butting against him, he didn't bother with Angela.

Angela felt sorry for the cub as well.

Seeing the cubs who were all skinny and "out of shape", her eyes were full of heartache.

When the cubs put their heads up, she would temporarily stop swearing at Andrew, lower her head and lick the cub's head carefully and seriously.

The two leopards quarreled like this for most of the night.

The roars of the two leopards echoed throughout the grassland for a long time.

Even the photographers nearby felt that their ears were a little painful from the noise, and at the same time they found it incredible.

The biggest conflict crisis tonight was actually passed so easily?

Not only did Andrew not fight with Maria, he also didn't fight with Angela.

If the people present were not familiar with the behavior of leopards, it would probably be mistaken for a "friendly" meeting of three leopards.

Although Maria lost a cub, it was indeed the smallest loss.

Shortly after Maria left with the cub, the photographers rushed to the bushes. The little leopard lying in the bushes had half of its neck bitten off by a wild dog and had already lost vital signs.

Andrew and Angela, who had been arguing for most of the night, finally stopped fighting temporarily after Ye Yunian mediated for a long time.

Angela took Ye Yunian to the river to drink water, and Andrew followed the two leopards.

After they finished drinking the water, Andrew also hurried to drink some water, and then continued to follow them.

Angela felt that Andrew was very annoying. She wanted to take the cub away immediately, but her energy was exhausted last night. She urgently needed to eat and rest.

Ye Yunian seemed to see what Angela was thinking. He took Angela to the big tree where he and Andrew stored food.

The wildebeest meat that Ye Yunian hunted yesterday was still hanging high on the tree.

Angela just turned her head to look at Andrew, and then climbed up the tree without hesitation and began to enjoy the food.

Although Andrew was very unhappy about this, he stopped looking at it when he thought that the wildebeest was hunted by the cub after all, and it seemed to have nothing to do with him.

The three leopards who had been making a fuss all night were tired.

After eating the meat, Angela walked to Ye Yunian and helped him to tidy up his hair affectionately.

She saw that Andrew had no intention of hurting her, let alone taking the cub away, so Angela simply decided to rest here with peace of mind. After she rested well, she would take the cub away.

How could Andrew not know what Angela was planning?

But he was really tired at this moment. Anyway, Angela couldn't take the cub away immediately at this moment, so his first task now was to have a good rest, and when he recovered his strength, he would take the cub away first!

As for Ye Yunian,

persuading others would also be tiring.

And more importantly, Ye Yunian really wanted to see Song Yi again.

Although Maria left with her cub last night, Ye Yunian could sense that they were not far away.

So, when Angela and Andrew woke up from their sleep, neither leopard could smell the cub.

Where is the cub?

Andrew yelled at Angela.

Angela shouted even louder: Where did you hide the cub? !
