Chapter 79 How do we know?

Andrew and Angela don't know where Ye Yunian has gone, but the photographers who have been following him know it clearly.

Two hours ago, Ye Yunian took advantage of Andrew and Angela being asleep, sneaked down the tree alone, and then started running in one direction without hesitation.

The photographers were a little confused by Ye Yunian's sudden action.

What is Nian Nian going to do?

Why did he leave suddenly?

Could it be that the little leopard was a little annoyed by the argument between Angela and Andrew last night, so he planned to go out and play alone?

But soon, the photographers noticed something was wrong.

Nian Nian ran very fast, and kept going in the direction that Maria left last night.

This discovery made all the photographers feel a little confused.

Why did Nian Nian chase Maria for no reason?

Could it be that because the fight last night ended with Maria's defeat before it even started, Nian Nian had the illusion that he was also very powerful, so this little leopard planned to challenge Maria today?

The bold guess made all the photographers feel a little uneasy.

Fortunately, this guess was really just a guess. When he was about to reach the edge of Andrew's territory, Ye Yu Nian slowly slowed down.

Soon, Ye Yu Nian stopped at the edge of Andrew's territory, and he did not move forward.

Because of this, the photographers were even more confused.

What exactly does Niannian want to do?

If Ye Yunian knew the photographers' doubts, he would definitely answer loudly: "Of course, I'm going to find Song Yi!"

But Ye Yunian couldn't approach Maria and Song Yi so rashly.

Maria is a vigilant leopard. She was hit hard last night. In order to protect the safety of the remaining cubs, Maria will definitely not leave the cubs for a while.

Ye Yunian raised his head and smelled a hint of the little black panther in the air. He silently memorized this smell in his heart, and then lay down in a nearby pile of tall grass.

The sun had not yet officially risen, and the air was not that hot.

Ye Yunian even lay there and took a nap for a while.

After he woke up, Ye Yunian raised his head again to smell Song Yi's scent.

Strictly speaking, Maria was just testing the edge of Andrew's territory last night, and she did not rashly bring the cub into Andrew's territory.

So when retreating last night, Maria did not retreat too far with the cub.

At this time, Maria and the cub were staying ten kilometers away from the edge of Andrew's territory.

This distance is not far or close. Andrew, who is close to the edge of the territory, will definitely be able to detect the scent of Maria and her family.

And Maria can also observe Andrew at any time. Once Andrew leaves his territory and continues to come towards them, Maria can quickly escape with the cub.

So even if Ye Yunian could already smell the scent of Maria's family here, he couldn't go any further.

If Maria sensed the danger, she would most likely move again with the cub.

Ye Yunian had finally found Song Yi, how could he let Song Yi go after just seeing him from a distance!

The African savannah is so vast, if Song Yi really leaves, it's unknown how long it will take to meet again.

And it's not that Ye Yunian has no way to go see Song Yi, he just needs to wait patiently for Maria to go out hunting.

From Maria's condition last night, it's not hard to see that she must have been rushing with the cub these days, and she might not have eaten for several days.

Thinking of this, Ye Yunian opened his eyes.

I can't go without a meal!

I can't let my Song Yi go hungry!

Ye Yunian suddenly became anxious and couldn't sleep. He stood up neatly and turned his head to look in the direction of Andrew and Angela.

Because the food was shared with Angela, there was not much meat left on the wildebeest hunted by Ye Yunian.

Maria is a very good mother, but no matter how good a mother is, it is very difficult to successfully hunt in a short time when raising a child alone in an unfamiliar territory where she is not familiar with the land and the leopards!

Ye Yunian couldn't sit still.

Song Yi is growing up now! I can't let my Song Yi go hungry!

There are many animals living on the African savannah, in addition to large herbivores, there are also some smaller herbivores.

Ye Yunian has a clear understanding of his current strength. Hunting large prey is indeed not difficult for him now, but the difficulty is how to continue moving forward with the prey.

Once the bloody smell of the prey dissipates, it will not only attract hyenas, but may also bring Ye Yunian a lot of trouble.

So now there is only one option left - small prey.

Ye Yunian searched the grassland for a while and soon set his sights on the hare.

So the photographers soon discovered that Ye Yunian was squatting in front of a cave.

"Didn't Nian Nian just eat his fill yesterday?"

"So he came here today just to hunt hares?"

Seeing that Ye Yu Nian had no intention of looking for Maria's family, and had no intention of leaving his parents' lives, the photographers breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing

that Ye Yu Nian was preparing to hunt, the photographers set up their cameras early, and all the cameras in the four directions were adjusted, waiting for Ye Yu Nian to kill with one shot.

And Ye Yu Nian did not disappoint everyone's expectations.

After squatting outside the cave for nearly half an hour, some movement finally came from inside the cave.

Even before the photographers could react, Ye Yu Nian had successfully hunted a hare.

The rabbit, which weighed about 5-6 kg, had its throat bitten off by Ye Yunian

as soon as it showed its head. The photographers were happy for Ye Yunian, but before they could praise him, he suddenly ran out of Andrew's territory.

The photographers: ???

"Wait, what is Nian Nian going to do?"

The photographers were immediately anxious, and several cameras were still on the ground, but at this time, the panicked photographers could not care so much, and quickly packed up their equipment and got in the car quickly.

"Oh no! Isn't this the direction Maria left?"

"What is this kid Niannian thinking? Why is he going in the direction Maria left?"

"Where are Maria and the cubs? Contact Maria's filming team!"

The photographers were in a panic, and soon, they contacted Maria's filming team, who replied to them with one sentence -

"Ten minutes ago, Maria went out hunting."

Seeing this short sentence, two big words appeared in everyone's mind: "It's over."

It was at this time that the photographers suddenly reacted.

So Niannian had been waiting here just to wait for Maria to leave?

Niannian's goal was not to challenge Maria, but Maria's cub?

The photographers were extremely worried and could only speed up.

At this time, Ye Yunian was running, sniffing the breath of the little black panther getting closer and closer in the air, and his eyes became sparkling.

He waited for a whole morning, and finally waited until Maria left the cub and went out hunting alone!

Ye Yunian had noticed this a long time ago, but he could not be distracted when hunting.

So after the hunt was successful, Ye Yunian did not delay for a second, and ran towards Maria and the cub.

The speed of a leopard running at full speed is very fast.

Even though Ye Yunian was not yet an adult, this short distance of ten kilometers was very close to him. It took Ye Yunian less than ten minutes to get infinitely close to the hiding place of the two cubs. As

soon as he arrived near here, Ye Yunian smelled a faint scent of cubs.

There are many animals living on the grassland, so the smell left in each place is also very mixed. In addition, before Maria left for hunting, she deliberately buried the scent of the cubs. It is really difficult to find it without careful observation.

But Ye Yunian had already memorized the scent of the little black panther, so he quickly noticed the hiding place of the two cubs.

It was a pile of stones with a somewhat complex terrain.

Many bushes grew in the cracks of the stones of varying heights.

The cubs were hiding in the crevices under the cover of these bushes.

Ye Yunian even simply sniffed and determined Song Yi's hiding place.

He was hiding in a very deep crevice. The gap inside was not large. At least, other creatures could not get in except the cubs themselves and snakes.

Not only that, but because it was extremely narrow inside, light could not get in, so Ye Yunian could only see a dark mass.

It was really challenging to identify Song Yi's figure in the darkness!

It seems that even though Song Yi in this life is still a little cub, he knows how to protect himself!

Ye Yunian is much more relieved.

But here comes the problem.

So how can I give the food I hunted to Song Yi now?

The cubs are very vigilant, and they trust everyone except their mother.

Plus, he seemed to have scared Song Yi last night...

Hmm.

Ye Yunian blinked.

He was squatting less than twenty meters away from the crevice.

So Song Yi had already discovered him?

He wouldn't be scared by him again!

So would the plan to meet Song Yi today still fail?

Ye Yunian was suddenly a little disappointed, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But soon Ye Yunian thought of a way.

The cub is certainly very vigilant, but no matter how vigilant it is, it can't resist hunger, right?

Maria has gone very far now, and Ye Yunian can hardly smell her breath.

Very good, Maria won't be back in a short time, and now is a good time to go fishing and enforce the law!

So the photographers who just arrived saw Ye Yunian squatting in front of the crevice where the cub was hiding, and he tore the fur of the hare in one bite.

The cubs over one month old can no longer keep up with the nutrition of breast milk alone, so at this point, the mother will start to feed them some minced meat.

Ye Yunian quickly peeled off the skin of the hare, and then took out the entrails first.

Animal entrails have the highest fat content and are the most delicious food in the eyes of most animals.

Of course, Song Yi also liked to eat entrails when he was with Ye Yunian.

In addition, Song Yi is still very young now, and his milk teeth may not have fallen out yet!

Eating soft and chewy entrails is the most suitable!

When Ye Yunian thought of this, it was as if a feather was tickling his heart.

He really wanted to see Song Yi's baby teeth! They

must be very cute!

Ye Yunian licked the blood stains on the corners of his mouth, and then walked towards the crevice with the fresh internal organs in his mouth.

Seeing Ye Yunian's actions, all the photographers secretly breathed a sigh of relief for the two cubs.

They all prayed in their hearts, hoping that the two cubs would not come out rashly!

But who would have thought that what you fear would come true.

Just after Ye Yunian jumped onto the crevice with the internal organs in his mouth, the slightly younger leopard hiding inside may have smelled the scent of food and mistakenly thought that its mother had returned, so it directly poked its head out of the crevice.

Ye Yunian did not expect that as soon as he came up, he would see Song Yi's brothers.

The blue film in the little leopard's eyes had not completely fallen off. He stared at Ye Yunian in astonishment with his hazy eyes.

Ye Yunian was also unable to hide his astonishment.

He finally understood why everyone said that the survival rate of cubs in their infancy was not high.

This kid is simply stupid!

Why did he stick his head out when he smelled food?

Fortunately, the cub was still alert. After realizing that the leopard in front of him was not his mother, he screamed and quickly retreated back into the crevice.

The photographers were also scared out of their wits, but their hearts did not fall back completely.

After all, the crevice where the cub was hiding was not as well hidden as the one where Song Yi was hiding, and even the entrance was a bit big.

As long as Ye Yunian was willing, he could just stick his head in, and then just move his claws a few times, and the cub hidden inside would...

The photographers didn't dare to think about it anymore, and could only pray secretly that Niannian would not be interested in this cub.

Perhaps their prayers worked, Ye Yunian really didn't care about the cub anymore. He stepped over the stone above and jumped to the crevice where Song Yi was hiding.

Photographers: ...

I feel relieved, but not completely.

Niannian let go of the cub just now and ran to the hiding place of another little black panther, so he is really interested in this black panther!

The photographers felt that their breathing was about to become uncomfortable.

Why have there been photographers paying attention to the movements of Maria's family? Isn't it because Maria's family gave birth to a rare black leopard?

The fur color of the black leopard is a genetic mutation, and black panthers are not common on the African savannah.

They are really worried that this little guy will die before he grows up.

Seeing Ye Yunian running to the crevice where the little black panther was, the photographers really felt their hearts finally give up.

"OMG! Can't we lure Nian Nian away?"

"No, we really can't just sit there and wait for death. If we don't care, the little black panther will definitely..."

"Wait! Don't worry, look! What is Nian Nian doing?"

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on the front.

Ye Yunian was seen lying on the crevice where the little black panther was. He lowered his head, as if observing the situation inside the crevice.

Ye Yunian really wanted to pull Song Yi out of the crevice immediately and give him a kiss and hug.

But he also knew that Song Yi didn't have any memory now. If he dragged Song Yi out rashly, he would definitely scare Song Yi to death!

No way.

I came to find Song Yi because I wanted Song Yi to like me, not to hate and be afraid of me!

So Ye Yunian just hurriedly put his head against the crack in the stone and took a look, and quickly moved his big head away.

Damn.

I didn't see anything.

Song Yi's fur was so black that it blended perfectly with the surrounding environment.

All right.

Anyway, I am not without a solution.

Ye Yunian was not in a hurry. He put the dirt he took out on a relatively clean stone, and then bit the dirt into small pieces.

Under the shocked eyes of all the photographers, Ye Yunian spit out the pieces of meat again, then used his claws to dig them to the front of the crack in the stone, and even used his own pads to push the pieces of meat inside. The photographers were stunned

.

"Niannian is...feeding the little black leopard?"

The photographers looked confused.

Who could tell them why a strange sub-adult leopard would come to feed another little leopard?

The photographers found it incredible, but it did not prevent them from raising the camera.

Ye Yunian tore the dirty food he had brought into several long strips and stuffed them all into the crevice between the stones.

Ye Yunian could not see the situation inside clearly, and he did not stay there for too long. After stuffing the meat strips, Ye Yunian jumped down from the crevice.

Considering that Song Yi had a little brother, in order to prevent his little brother from being too hungry and snatching food from Song Yi, Ye Yunian took some of the remaining wild rabbit meat and stuffed it into another crevice in the same way.

After doing all this, Ye Yunian walked away in a swagger under the shocked and confused gazes of the photographers.

Yes.

Ye Yunian left.

But Ye Yunian didn't go too far.

He still threw the wild rabbit meat aside, and of course the meat was also used to feed Song Yi!

But the smell of blood in the wild is very easy to attract other predators, so Ye Yunian will not really leave until Maria comes back.

Ye Yunian will stay here until Maria comes back, and then he will leave.

After walking around, Ye Yunian finally picked a tree, climbed up the tree quickly, and then lay down in the shade.

This position is just right to see the situation of the stone crevices and observe the dangers in the distance.

Ye Yunian was very satisfied with this, and then he began to observe the stone crevice with great interest.

In contrast, Song Yi's little brother was obviously not as vigilant as him.

Not long after Ye Yunian lay on the tree, Ye Yunian noticed a small claw sticking out from the stone crevice.

Song Yi's little brother used his claws to pick up the meat strips, and after a while, all the meat strips at the entrance of the cave were picked up by him.

Ye Yunian watched seriously and found it a little funny. He turned his head and looked at the stone crevice next to Song Yi.

All right.

Forget about eating meat strips. The stone crevice next to it was unspeakably quiet. If Ye Yunian hadn't been able to smell the strong scent of Song Yi there, he would have doubted whether Song Yi was in there.

Ye Yunian looked at the fresh dirt at the entrance of the cave, and couldn't help but sighed in his heart.

Although being vigilant is good, Song Yi, aren't you a little too vigilant!

Aren't you hungry?

Ye Yunian turned over a little anxiously, put his big paws under his chin, and continued to stare at the crevice patiently.

The little black panther in the crevice seemed to be competing with Ye Yunian.

There was no movement for the next period of time.

Ye Yunian sighed in his heart again.

The sky was bright early, and the scorching sun rose quickly. It was because of this ray of sunlight that Ye Yunian finally saw the situation in the crevice clearly.

Eh?

Is that a pad of flesh?

Ye Yunian's eyes widened instantly.

Song Yi's pad of flesh is pink!!!

So cute!

Ye Yunian screamed crazily in his heart.

Oh my god, Song Yi's legs are so small, pink and tender, so cute!

I want to rub them!

I don't know if it was because Ye Yunian's gaze was too hot, or because the sun outside was a little hot, the little black panther in the cave suddenly pulled its legs inward.

Not only did it pull its legs in, but it also changed the direction of its feet.

Ye Yunian watched the pink pad of flesh disappear in front of his eyes.

Ye Yunian:...

He hates it!

At this moment, a sudden howl caught Ye Yunian's attention.

The voice was very familiar. Ye Yunian recognized it as Andrew's voice almost instantly.

Oh no!

Andrew must have woken up and found that he was not

in the territory, so he came here to look for me! Ye Yunian tilted his head and sniffed the air.

All right.

Not only Andrew, but Angela also came here.

I can't stay here any longer.

If I continue to stay here, Andrew and Angela will definitely come here, and then Song Yi and his little brother will be in danger.

Although I didn't see Song Yi today.

But seeing Song Yi's feet is still considered seeing him!

Ye Yunian was very satisfied.

He simply jumped down from the tree.

Leaving the hare on the ground would only cause trouble for the two little ones, so before leaving, Ye Yunian was particularly considerate and took the hare meat to the tree.

Since Song Yi doesn't want to eat it, then give it to Song Yi's mother!

Only when she is full can she feed Song Yi well.

Of course, Ye Yunian will continue to work hard.

After all, Song Yi is her boyfriend, and as a boyfriend, how could Ye Yunian not support her boyfriend?

Ye Yunian turned around happily, meowed softly in the direction of the crevice, turned around and ran towards Andrew and Angela.

While running, Ye Yunian did not forget to respond to their calls.

Here I come!

I'll be back soon!

Until Ye Yunian ran away, the photographers who stayed behind had not come to their senses.

Niannian left just like that?

Wait, so what on earth did Niannian come here for today?

Niannian is not even one year old yet, and is at the age of being naughty and playful.

A leopard cub of this age may indeed be interested in other leopard cubs, but more often, sub-adult leopards will treat the cubs as toys.

Just like the lions in a pride, when the cubs approach the pride when they are still very young, they will be treated as toys by most of the lions.

But how can the cubs' small bodies withstand the tearing of the big lions?

At first, when the photographers saw Niannian approaching the little black panther, they thought he also treated the little black panther as a toy. Who would have thought

that Niannian not only did not reach out to take out the cub from the crevice to play with, but also took the initiative to share his prey with them!
