Chapter 88 Rainy Season

The six exhausted leopards did not stay on the shore for too long. After Ye Yunian regained his composure, they left the dangerous shore and moved to a forest. They found a big tree and rested on it.

The night crossing made all the leopards exhausted. Ye Yunian had just experienced a big emotional ups and downs, and now he was even more tired after calming down.

Ye Yunian even climbed a tree with Angela after a long time, and Song Yi followed him.

After getting along for a while, everyone lost their initial vigilance and unfamiliarity.

The hair on the three leopards was still not dry.

Angela naturally gave priority to licking the fur of her cubs. With Angela licking him, Ye Yunian no longer cared about his own fur and simply lowered his head to lick Song Yi's fur.

Song Yi was really tired at this moment.

After all, he was still young and his physical strength was far inferior to Ye Yunian. After being licked by Ye Yunian for a while, he felt the fur on his body slowly drying up. His eyelids drooped and he began to snore after a while. As

for Ye Yunian,

he was also very comfortable being licked by Angela. Seeing that Song Yi had closed his eyes and fell asleep, Ye Yunian thought about taking a rest and turned back to lick Angela's fur.

However, he didn't expect his eyelids to become heavier and heavier. Without noticing, Ye Yunian also fell into a deep sleep.

The two leopard cubs slept in each other's arms.

Angela's expression was gentle. She stared at the two cubs for a long while before she looked up at the sky in the distance.

The thrilling night passed and dawn came quietly.

In such a quiet morning, the six leopards fell into a deep sleep.

Ye Yunian slept until dusk.

He didn't even wake up once during the sleep, but he vaguely felt that Song Yi had slipped out of his arms.

Ye Yunian was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to catch Song Yi back, so he didn't care about him.

But after a while, Ye Yunian felt that Song Yi had walked back by himself.

Maybe it was because he was too hot just now, so he went out first.

When his body felt a little cooler, he immediately came back to find him.

Thinking of this, the corners of Ye Yunian's mouth curled up in his sleep.

After being completely awake now, Ye Yunian first looked at Song Yi in his arms. He was not awake yet.

Ye Yunian did not bother Song Yi, but turned around to look for Angela. He found that Angela was sleeping on a tree trunk that was taller than them. On the other two big trees around were Andrew, Maria and the third child.

Andrew and Maria were awake now, but the two leopards had no intention of getting down from the trees.

Ye Yunian understood that there would be no hunting action tonight, and he could continue to sleep.

Leopards can sleep for twenty hours a day, so even though Ye Yunian had slept for a whole day, he was still a little sleepy at this moment, so Ye Yunian turned Song Yi in his arms over and continued to sleep.

Around midnight, Ye Yunian heard Andrew coming down from the tree.

Almost at the same time, Angela, who was sleeping on top of Ye Yunian and Song Yi, also came down from the tree.

Ye Yunian blinked, glanced at the backs of the two leopards leaving, and guessed that they should be going to patrol the territory.

This strange and new land is their next territory. In order to live safely and stably on this land, patrolling the territory is essential.

Ye Yunian is just a sub-adult leopard, so he naturally does not need to patrol the territory.

Not to mention patrolling the territory, a little leopard like him who has no ability to protect himself will be hunted down once discovered by other predators!

What made Ye Yunian a little strange was why Maria didn't go with Andrew and Angela?

Ye Yunian glanced at the third child who had woken up and was playing with Maria's tail, and then looked down at Song Yi who was sleeping on his stomach in his arms.

A thought suddenly popped up in his mind-Maria would not really decide to live with them in the next few days!

Thinking of this, Ye Yunian was shocked and happy.

Great!

As long as Maria stays, Song Yi will always stay with Ye Yunian.

And more importantly, with the addition of an excellent leopard like Maria, their leopard group will definitely be stronger!

Not only can Song Yi and Lao San be well taken care of, but other leopards will never be hungry again!

Of course!

Ye Yunian will also work hard to learn how to hunt, strive to grow up quickly, and take Song Yi out to live independently!

Ye Yunian licked Song Yi's head, then hugged Song Yi and went to sleep. When

he woke up again, it was dawn the next day.

Andrew began to call the cubs almost as soon as the sun rose from the horizon.

After walking around, Andrew marked his new territory, and now it was time to go drink water.

The big river where the crocodiles live is certainly not suitable for drinking water every day, so Andrew found a tributary in the territory.

Calling the cubs together is also to let the cubs remember where to drink water.

A group of six leopards went to drink water in a mighty manner.

Then it was time for today's hunting.

Ye Yunian took Song Yi and Lao San to squat on a tree, looking at their parents hunting from afar.

The three leopards have cooperated many times during the migration, and now they hardly need to communicate. Often, they can cooperate perfectly with just a glance.

A zebra fell at Andrew's feet, announcing the end of today's hunting.

In the following period of time, the grassland continued to be dry.

But because of the rivers around Andrew's territory, there are always animals active on this land.

Six leopards live here in groups, which makes many animals wary of them.

Before leaving, these animals will still wonder.

Aren't leopards usually solitary animals?

Why did they encounter six of them?

The animals couldn't figure it out, and the photographers who had been following and photographing the leopards were also puzzled before, but now they have a new answer - in order to adapt to the harsh environment, even wild animals will gather together.

Although this situation is rare, they have seen it now.

It is precisely because they gathered together early that they have never encountered danger since they moved to this new land.

There was even one time when Ye Yunian went hunting with Andrew. It took him half a day to hunt a little zebra, but as soon as he put the zebra down, hyenas came and wanted to snatch Ye Yunian's hard work.

Ye Yunian was so tired that he was panting. Before he could warn the hyena, Andrew and Angela, who had been waiting nearby, appeared.

The hyena had never seen such a situation before.

It had just confirmed that this was a young leopard that had not yet reached adulthood.

It would be easy for it to snatch the food of a young leopard.

But how come in the blink of an eye, a male leopard and a female leopard appeared around?

The hyena was a little panicked.

But after being hungry for several days in a row, it was unwilling to give up the food that was at its fingertips.

So the hyena raised its head and began to call its own tribe.

It was precisely because of this wrong action that its tribe was beaten up.

Andrew was not a leopard with a good temper.

Angela hated hyenas even more.

As for Maria.

She was originally watching the two cubs on the tree. She heard the sound of hyenas from a distance. She instructed the two cubs and ran towards Andrew and Angela without hesitation.

Last time, her two children almost died at the hands of hyenas. Maria hated hyenas even more.

So the tribe called by the hyenas was beaten by three adult leopards before they started to snatch Ye Yunian’s prey.

But this is not the end. Andrew and Angela really hate this group of ignorant hyenas who bullied their cubs in front of them!

Want to run!

Save your life before running!

Andrew and Angela, who were in high spirits, surrounded and killed three or four hyenas before they stopped.

When they returned, Ye Yunian had successfully moved the prey he had hunted with the help of Maria.

Ye Yunian was particularly excited to see his biological father and mother leopards coming back, and he quickly walked up to them and got close to them.

Andrew first licked the cub's fur, and then got close to the cub.

Angela walked around the cub, making sure that the cub was not injured, and then walked closer to lick the cub's head affectionately.

After the family's closeness ended, it was time for today's meal.

Because the prey was hunted by Ye Yunian, the right to distribute the prey naturally fell into Ye Yunian's hands.

Ye Yunian tore off a large piece of dirty entrails without hesitation and gave it to Song Yi first.

The other leopards had no objection to Ye Yunian's distribution.

Especially Andrew and Angela, they had long been accustomed to their cubs preferring the little black leopard.

Even after Andrew saw that his cub gave the dirty entrails to Song Yi and did not keep any for himself, Andrew deliberately tore off a piece of dirty entrails and handed it to his cub.

Ye Yunian looked at the dirty entrails in front of him and sighed helplessly in his heart.

Don't mention it, the biological father leopard and Song Yi are quite similar in feeding themselves!

They know that they don't like to eat dirty entrails, but they still feed themselves every time!

So Ye Yunian refused the feeding from his biological father Leopard without hesitation, turned around and started to chew the lean meat.

Awooo, the lean meat is so delicious!

Smooth, sweet, and so fragrant. Awooo -

Ye Yunian ate very happily.

Andrew was a little sad.

Why didn't the cub accept his feeding!

Damn!

Seeing this, Angela on the side lowered her head and bit the dirt before Andrew looked over.

It doesn't matter.

The cub doesn't like to eat it, but she loves to eat it.

When Andrew turned around, Angela had already eaten more than half of the dirt.

Andrew:...

I really want to get angry.

But I still held it back.

Forget it.

It's just a piece of dirt anyway.

It's troublesome to make Angela angry.

Andrew changed his position and started eating.

After eating and drinking, the six leopards lay together as usual to groom their hair.

Because there are three adult leopards guarding the cubs all the time, they are now particularly confident. After eating and drinking, they even simply lay down and fell asleep on the spot.

More than a month passed quickly, and it was September.

There has been no rain for a long time, and the daytime is still baked by the scorching sun. The water source on this land has once again become scarce.

The tributary in Andrew's territory has also dried up.

After Ye Yunian discovered this situation, he was rarely worried.

After all, the river full of crocodiles is really too dangerous!

He didn't want to go there to drink water at all.

So Ye Yunian went back that day and started counting the time on his fingers.

The rainy season should be here in about a month, right?

After all, the temperature has been getting higher and higher recently, and even the temperature at night has gradually started to get hotter.

I hope these large and small pools of water in the territory can last for a month!

Ye Yunian closed his eyes and went to sleep with a little trepidation.

After all, it seems that there is nothing he can do now except sleeping.

But this sleep didn't last too long, Ye Yunian was awakened by a loud cry.

Ye Yunian suddenly opened his eyes, and Song Yi, who was nestled in Ye Yunian's arms, also raised his head vigilantly.

All the leopards raised their heads and looked towards the river at the same time.

Andrew's current territory is actually a long distance away from the river, but even at such a long distance, they still saw those tall figures -

it was a herd of six elephants.

It was the first time Ye Yunian saw an elephant, and his eyes widened.

Oh my God! Living elephants!

Ye Yunian looked at the elephants with some excitement, but before he could look for too long, he heard Andrew's slightly impatient voice coming from behind him.

Ye Yunian looked back and found that it was not only Andrew, but also Angela and Maria who had serious expressions on their faces.

Elephants are almost invincible herbivores on the grasslands because of their large size and the fact that they live in groups.

After all, they are too big, have high IQs, and are particularly vengeful. Even lions dare not provoke them, let alone leopards whose size is far smaller than that of lions.

If these six elephants come to Andrew's territory, they will have to migrate.

Ye Yunian's excitement at seeing the elephants for the first time disappeared in an instant, and his expression was replaced by serious tension.

Fortunately, the six elephants had no interest in crossing the river.

They stood far away by the river, drinking water and playing, and the elephant calls just now were completely to scare the crocodiles in the river.

After all, the sight of these crocodiles was very annoying to the elephants.

After driving away all the crocodiles, the six elephants comfortably occupied the river.

Seeing this, Andrew and Angela gradually relaxed their vigilance.

As long as the six elephants had no intention of crossing the river, their territory would not be threatened.

But now that the river was occupied by these six elephants, it was also a problem.

If they wait until all the ponds in their territory dry up, they will have no choice but to go to the river for water.

And this river is now full of crocodiles and elephants...

What a troublesome group of neighbors!

But no matter how bad it is, life must go on.

Half a month has passed quickly, and the dry tributary pond in Andrew's territory finally exposed the riverbed today, and the previous large pond has become the current small pond.

The sun is still scorching the land.

Even though we know that the rainy season is coming soon, the lack of water is still a very troublesome thing.

After thinking for a short while, Andrew made a clean and neat judgment-not to move.

The temperature has been getting higher and higher recently, and the nearby tributaries have almost dried up.

Even if they change their territory at this time, it will be difficult for them to find another suitable territory.

And more importantly, Andrew cannot guarantee that they can find sufficient food and water during the migration.

Last time they migrated, they followed their food all the way, but this time, there was no large-scale migration of herbivores.

Every day, groups of animals go to the water to drink water. Some animals are preyed on by crocodiles, but more animals survive.

Although there are many dangers near the river, the existence of the river itself represents life.

But Andrew decided to be safe.

He did not take his cubs to the river to drink water until the pool in the territory was completely dry.

After approaching the river, Andrew did not approach immediately, but lay in the grass to observe the situation near the river. After

making sure that the elephant herd would not suddenly appear, Andrew chose an area where there were fewer crocodiles and led Ye Yunian and the other two cubs to approach.

Angela and Maria walked behind the three cubs, observing the surrounding situation at all times.

After arriving at the water's edge, they also gave priority to the cubs to drink water.

While the cubs were drinking water, the three adult leopards remained highly alert.

Once they found anything abnormal, they would take the cubs away at any time.

But the situation that worried them did not happen.

After all, the crocodiles are not stupid. How can carnivores be as easy to bully as herbivores?

What's more, these are a group of carnivores.

Although Ye Yunian is not an adult yet, he is already one and a half years old, and his body size is gradually approaching that of an adult leopard. To the crocodiles in the water, these are four adult leopards.

Rather than risking being bitten and provoking them, it is better to bully those herbivores whose teeth are not so sharp.

So every time this group of leopards came to drink water, the crocodiles watched from a distance and did not approach.

This fearless drinking life lasted for half a month, and the temperature on the grassland hit a new high.

Even from the morning today, Ye Yunian felt a heat.

The dull air made Ye Yunian not want to move at all, let alone hug Song Yi to sleep.

Song Yi was already six months old at this time, and his body was no longer as small as before. When he lay next to Ye Yunian, he was like a moving heat source.

Fortunately, Song Yi also found that Ye Yunian was hot enough, so he did not come up to him like before.

The two leopards lay on the same tree trunk at a distance.

Ye Yunian closed his eyes, and the whole leopard lay on the tree trunk, with four legs hanging down naturally, including the tail.

Song Yi observed Ye Yunian, and suddenly, his sight was fixed.

Under the tree where they were resting, a hare appeared.

Song Yi didn't know where this hare came from. It was eating the surrounding grass while observing the situation.

At six months old, Song Yi started learning hunting skills.

But now, although he has grown a little, he is still too small to look at compared to the animals on the grassland.

So even though Song Yi has a lot of skills now, he doesn't have a good opportunity to practice them.

But at this moment, the opportunity was in front of Song Yi.

Song Yi did not hesitate, he stood up quietly, then lightened his steps and slowly climbed down the tree.

His movements were very light, and if you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't hear them at all.

Ye Yunian did notice Song Yi's movements, but at this moment he was really about to be crazy from the heat, and he didn't want to open his eyes.

At this moment, Ye Yunian heard the sound of two feet kicking branches, and the rustling of leaves came from the branches.

The next moment, there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Ye Yunian realized that Song Yi had climbed down the tree, and then he opened his eyes, looked down, and just met Song Yi's big head holding a hare in his mouth.

Ye Yunian blinked.

Hmm?

The cubs' movements naturally attracted the attention of other leopards.

Andrew, Angela, and Maria all looked over at the same time. When Maria saw the hare in her cub's mouth, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes.

It's worthy of being her cub!

It can already hunt at such a big age!

Maria was very happy.

Andrew and Angela were also a little surprised.

It seems that this little black panther is much better than they imagined.

Very good!

Not bad!

Although it is not their cub, it is also worthy of praise.

The third child was envious.

He knew that the eldest brother was very powerful, but he didn't expect that the eldest brother would end his first hunt so decisively! He didn't even see it clearly just now!

Ye Yunian was even happier.

He stood up without thinking, and was about to get down from the tree to find Song Yi, when he saw Song Yi quickly jump onto the branch.

Song Yi gave the hare to Ye Yunian.

Ye Yunian looked at the hare in front of him, and without thinking, he jumped over the hare, got in front of Song Yi, and licked Song Yi's head frantically with his tongue.

Song Yi is worthy of being his! He has always been so good to him!

The first prey he caught was given to him without hesitation!

Ye Yunian was very happy and touched!

His big head kept rubbing against Song Yi's face, and he even made a comfortable humming sound in his throat.

Song Yi enjoyed Ye Yunian's touch, his head raised high, his eyes full of pride.

Humph, although it's a little late, I can finally feed the little leopard now!

Song Yi was a little proud in his heart.

He was just about to call Ye Yunian to eat the wild rabbit meat quickly, but suddenly, the sky, which had been dull for a whole day, was filled with a loud roar.

The sound was so loud that almost all the animals on the grassland stopped moving and raised their heads.

Ye Yunian even shouted excitedly twice.

Rainy season!

The rainy season that they had been looking forward to for a whole month has finally arrived!

The thunder only sounded a few times, followed by strong winds and dark clouds.

In just a few minutes, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and strong winds blew across the grassland.

The cool breeze swept away the heat and also took away the last trace of annoyance caused by the temperature in Ye Yunian's heart.

Ye Yunian looked down at the rabbit meat in front of him and quickly took a bite.

He wanted to finish the meat that Song Yi gave him before the rain came!

Of course, while Ye Yunian was eating hurriedly, he did not forget to give half of the meat to Song Yi.

Although Song Yi didn't understand why Ye Yunian ate so fast, seeing Ye Yunian eating so happily, he instantly had an appetite.

Unfortunately, the rain came much faster than they ate.

Before long, a rustling sound was heard.

The sound of raindrops fell on the green leaves above their heads, crackling.

Song Yi didn't understand what was going on, so he raised his head and a drop of water fell on his face.

Ye Yunian called out to Song Yi twice, "

Eat quickly!

We'll go play after you finish eating! "

After understanding what Ye Yunian meant, Song Yi also sped up his eating.
