After Turning Into An Animal, I Rely On My Face To Make A Living

Not only are the leopards coming to fight for it, but this land is also a prize in the eyes of other beasts.

Who wouldn't want to own such a large territory with abundant water resources and a wide variety of prey?

The male lions of the Brotherhood decided as soon as they came to this territory that they must occupy this territory. This is a pair of adult lion brothers who have just become independent.

Charlie and Pucci.

They belong to the northern lion group a hundred kilometers away. When they reach adulthood, they are packed up and thrown out by the lion group to go out on their own. The two brothers form an alliance that cannot be separated from other lions.

The two brothers have a good relationship. They will rub each other's heads and exchange scents during breaks and after meals.

For Sunny, the leader of the lions, the wandering brothers are a thorny problem.

It has a newborn cub. It has finally obtained the right to visit from the lioness in the past few days. It has not had time to see its cub more often and communicate with the cub.

If he is defeated by stray lions at this time, not only will they not end well, but even the lion cubs in the pride will not be left alive.

The new leader of the pride will kill all the cubs that are not his own and expel the sub-adult male lions from the pride. Without the cubs, the female lions can enter estrus again, allowing them to continue their bloodline.

Of course, Sunny couldn't let these wandering brothers do this to the lions he worked so hard to protect. Strong foreign enemies would be punished.

Three days after the heavy rain stopped, Shi Qiao learned that two new stray lions had broken into the territory. No movement in the territory can escape the cheetah's eye. Some delivery boys hunt diligently every day during the rainy season and run around the entire grassland to eat fresh food.

Whenever there is any disturbance, he comes to the acacia forest to report the news. In addition to occasionally delivering takeaways, he also works part-time as a security guard.

When Shi Qiao heard the other party say that he saw two strange lions in the territory, her first reaction was, "They won't come here to fight with leopards, right?"

Then she remembered that there was a huge pride of lions between them and the stray lions, as well as the lion Sunny, the leader of the pride.

If they want to fight, it's Sunny who fights them. How could it be the leopard's turn?

She saw that Cudi's face was stern as if facing a formidable enemy, and she was frightened by him for a moment. In fact, the change of owners of the lion group does not have a great impact on the leopards. Unless the new leader has a grudge against the leopards and watches the leopards fight, the male lions who love themselves will not always think about provoking leopards.

But the cheetah is different.

As the fifth scum of the grassland war, if there are two more adult male lions with unpredictable temperaments, it will be a major blow to its unscrupulous hunting activities, and the probability of being robbed will also be greatly increased. It may one day become the lion's prey.

Before the stray lion met and had a fight with the male lion leader, the cheetah began to worry about itself.

It has developed a habit of wanting to hug its thighs whenever it feels that it is threatened.

The deterrent effect of certain cheetahs on it is subtle, causing the cheetah himself to feel that he is becoming more and more like a competent little brother.

After all, they had worked together before, and they might need the other's assistance in the dry season later on. Shi Qiao still wanted Cudi to survive.

The male lion Sunny has been their neighbor from the dry season to now. Although sometimes encounters on narrow roads still feel a bit explosive, the opponent has suffered a loss before, and now they are all bluffing against leopards. There is prey everywhere in the rainy season. There are no disputes between them, and they basically don't disturb each other.

Shi Qiao analyzed the pros and cons in her mind, and she still hoped that Lion Sunny could keep his position.

There are too many unknown risks in changing the leader, and controllable risks within the acceptable range are better than unknown risks.

As for the two new stray lions, they looked like they were just starting out, trying to make a name for themselves in battles. In comparison, they were more aggressive and less experienced.

She doesn't know who can be better than Sunny the Lion.

If she wasn't afraid of getting involved in the fight between male lions, Shi Qiao really wanted to see the status struggle between male lions from an outside perspective. She had only seen male lions being passively beaten by lionesses teaming up with explosive hammers and had never seen male lions from two camps fight.

However, now is not the time for her to watch the fun. If the two stray lions continue to stand still, their hunting operations will be affected to some extent.

It's not a good feeling to feel like two lions are staring at them in the dark as soon as they go hunting.

Klein didn't react much after hearing the news from Cheetah. He just raised his chin towards the other party to indicate that he understood.

The little leopard looked at the big man's expression and knew that the other man didn't take the two stray lions seriously. She was no longer so nervous and waved her paw at Cudi: "Go ahead and investigate again and report again."

Cudi: "..."

He always feels like he is being treated as an errand boy, but he doesn't dare to complain.

Thinking that in the future, if a strange and successful lion threatened his own safety and his living environment was squeezed, he would have to shamelessly come to the acacia forest to find a leopard for shelter. The cheetah pinched its nose and endured it.

Watching the cheetah sneak out of the acacia forest and go back to hunt, Shi Qiao thought of something and asked Klein: "Who does the boss want to win more?"

After all, Sunny was also a lion who had enmity with them, and he also intended to be a mortal enemy of the leopard in the future.

Klein put it bluntly: "I hope they die together."

Shi Qiao suddenly choked.

Makes sense.

She thought to herself that it was indeed the boss's answer, crisp and ruthless. For the big leopard, who was watching from the sidelines, all competitors should just die.

However, the probability of dying together is low. For a beast as precious as a lion, one party will always admit defeat first.

Who would want to die in such a peaceful rainy season?

Shi Qiao felt that her habit of imagining things would not change for a while, and she began to think about things for the lion. She might as well think about how to get some food while she had this time.

There was not much hunting due to the heavy rain these past few days, and the animals were all wilted from the heavy rain, including herself.

She lick her fur every day, for fear that she might catch a cold if the hair on her body is not dried in time. At most, she just catches some small snakes and other small prey that pop up in the forest on rainy days.

The sound in her stomach reminded her all the time that she was hungry and needed large prey to fill her stomach.

The weather has gotten better, and it's time to go hunting. She can't keep herself hungry just because she doesn't want to run into stray lions. Klein decided to take the little leopard out to hunt tonight.

Two leopards were waiting quietly on the tree for nightfall. In the early morning, when the moon and stars were sparse, it was the leopards' favorite hunting time.

To fill her stomach, Shi Qiao had no time to worry about where the stray lion was hiding. Shi Qiao concentrated on looking for clues about the prey.

After the heavy rain, the tall grass has been irrigated and becomes more lush, and the ground is still a little muddy. If she walks a little wider, she will be splashed with mud on her upper body. For a veteran stealth player, it is a basic skill to keep the pace steady while maintaining the same speed.

Compared with the little leopard who still got her fur dirty after paying attention, the male leopard still stayed clean.

Under the cover of the night, stars and the moon are casting a light gauze. The quiet light shines on the leopard, and the muscles on its legs are looming. Only when it stands still, it is indistinguishable from the surrounding environment.

Shi Qiao looked at Klein in front of her and stopped automatically.

She hadn't seen the prey yet, so she could only prick up her ears and listen carefully to where the other person was looking. Unexpectedly, the figures over there were not prey, but two stray male lions hunting.

The lions were hunting a zebra. The zebras who were sleeping soundly were suddenly frightened and stood up and ran for their lives. What they were chasing was a small zebra.

Shi Qiao felt that these two brothers were either a bit tigerish or they were really powerful and fearless. Running so close to the lions so carelessly even when hunting is tantamount to shouting to the lions with a loudspeaker.

We're on your turf.

Not only are they here, but they are also hunting here unscrupulously as if saying "come out and see us".

They caught up with the zebra and ate on the spot. After eating, they threw the carcass where it was without any intention of covering up their aura.

As the moon gradually moved overhead, Shi Qiao saw clearly the appearance of the two wandering male lions.

Although they are brothers, they are easy to distinguish. The mane on Charlie's neck is thicker, while Pucci's mane is sparse but long, with different colors. If the strict mane ratio is followed, then Charlie is more powerful but not as good as Sunny.

It was obvious that they were all younger than Sunny.

In the world of beasts, youth does not mean a greater chance of winning. On the contrary, sometimes the old lion king who has passed his peak can easily defeat the young lion.

Combat experience is more important than age.

But when two male lions work together, it's hard to say whether the experienced lion can fight one against two.

The heavy rain has just passed, and the male lion leader Sunny is busy marking the edge of the territory. The lion group is divided into three parts. The lactating lioness and cubs live in more secluded bushes and tree holes, while other lions live in groups near waterholes.

The place where these two stray lions ate was relatively close to the lioness and the cub. Their unobstructed movements just now had disturbed the lioness. They were taking the cub to a safer location, away from the arrogant stray lion.

This process must be done without alerting outside intruders.

Facing Sunny's fierce look, the lionesses listened solemnly to the voice in their ears, urging their cubs to come out of their holes and follow their footsteps.

Fortunately, the wandering brothers were lying under the tree to digest their food after eating. They did not notice that the cubs of the lion group were being safely transferred by the lionesses, nor did they notice that they were being watched by two leopards. 

Shi Qiao and Klein were a certain distance away from the lions, hidden in the grass, and each other was unaware of them.

Seeing the stray lions lying down after finishing their meal, Klein turned around and walked in the other direction.

A small group of zebras that had been chased by the lions fled to the east. They were going to find zebras as today's prey.

Compared with impalas, gazelles, and hartebeests, leopards eat fewer wildebeests and zebras. Zebras are larger and more difficult for leopards to hunt. This was Shi Qiao's first serious hunt for zebras.

The zebras that had just been chased for a round had already run far away. It takes a long way to find them, but the zebras' physical strength has been severely consumed by the two lions just now. It is more suitable to choose them as prey than to spend a lot of time finding other prey.

Zebras give birth to a large number of cubs during the rainy season. After a month, they have grown to a size that can run and jump.

Compared to adult zebras, baby zebras are still physically weaker. Like the male lions, Klein's target is also a baby zebra.

The hooves of adult zebras are much heavier than those of impalas. Shi Qiao looked at the strong hind legs of zebras and could imagine how painful it would be to be kicked. She had to start with raw melon eggs.

Fortunately, juvenile zebras are also quite big. Who wouldn't love a prey that is big and easy to chase?

The zebras stopped in an open area of spiky grass, breathing heavily from their noses and rubbing their hooves back and forth on the ground.

At this time, they would not have imagined that they had just escaped the pursuit of the lions and would fall into the mouths of two leopards who had worked tirelessly to track them here.

The division of labor between the two leopards is different this time. The zebra cub is surrounded by two or three adult zebras, and the zebra's mother is still with it. Klein will deal with the adult zebras next to the cub, while Shi Qiao is responsible for chasing the prey.

When adult zebras are cornered, it is easy for them to gather together and trample the beasts together. It is still very risky to confront adult zebras, but it is safer to chase small zebras.

The leopards rushed forward at the same time, and after approaching the zebra group, they split into two groups.

Shi Qiao kept an eye on the little zebra. When Klein drove the zebra mother away from the cub, the little leopard took the opportunity to pounce from behind and threw the little zebra, which was a little slower, to the ground.

She has developed a trace of the hunting charm of a big boss. With that moment of explosive power, she can chase farther without using up any physical energy. She only needs to use all her strength to hold down the prey to prevent it from struggling out of its confinement.

At the same time, he saw the right moment and bit his spine.

The backbone of a zebra cub is not that strong, so Shi Qiao was a little unsure that she could bite it off in one bite, but the result was smoother than she expected.

It's just that the male leopard encountered some obstacles. The adult zebras no longer have the physical strength to escape. The anger of being chased twice by beasts in one night rushed to their heads and kicked their hind hooves at the leopard.

Klein dodged the attack and turned to look at the little leopard who had succeeded.

Shi Qiao immediately put down the prey in his mouth and stepped forward to help.

The male leopard's eyes suddenly enlarged, and the brain circuit signal received an error!

The look he gave her just now was to let the little leopard take the prey and leave first, and then he would find her after he drove the adult zebras away.

Shi Qiao's heart skipped a beat when she saw the zebras raising their hind hooves one after another. There was no time to analyze the boss's true intentions, so of course she had to come over quickly to help.

Klein had no choice but to withdraw his gaze and concentrate on dealing with these adult zebras that had gathered to attack the leopards.

Shi Qiao's hair stood up all over her body to make herself appear larger and add some virtual aura. She knew that she couldn't deal with adult zebras like she attacked baby zebras, so she went around behind them and bit their tails.

This is a new trick she learned from Sally the stray leopard last time. It is useful against leopards and herbivores.

Sure enough, the zebras who had their tails bitten off by her were very angry and turned around to attack the little leopards. The male leopard, which had gained an opening, bit the zebras' backs again, disrupting the formation of the adult zebras.

The zebras were not as prepared as they were at the beginning, and their morale was suddenly shattered by the two leopards. They could only blame each other for escaping into the forest with their injuries.

The mother zebra was left wailing at the body of the baby zebra and finally ran out of the circle surrounded by the two leopards at the urging of her peers.

Shi Qiao looked at the front leg that was almost kicked by the zebra. Sure enough, the bigger the prey, the greater the risk of injury. Impalas and gazelles appear to be particularly harmless to humans and animals, and they are indeed leopards' favorite prey.

The vultures who were most active in eating had already rushed to the place where the little zebra fell, and Shi Qiao quickly called the boss to come and eat.

The place where they caught up with the zebra was already at the edge of the territory, thousands of miles away from the two stray lions, and they could have a slow and delicious meal in peace.

The little leopard doesn't eat zebra very often. She doesn't know if it's because she's hungry or because it just tastes great. But if she eats it once in a while, it tastes very good and can even surpass the status of impala in her heart.

However, considering that zebras are so difficult to catch, she suppressed her desire to hunt zebras more often in the future and concentrated on eating meat.

As usual, Shi Qiao was responsible for driving away the vultures after the boss had finished eating. At the same time, the hyenas a hundred meters away were also ready to move.

Although they were so greedy that their mouths watered, they still remembered the tragic scene where their leader and other companions were bitten to death. Under the constraints of the new leader, they could only keep a distance from the leopard who was not easy to mess with. They wanted to wait for the other party to finish eating and leave the body, and then step forward to seize the order of the second round of dining.

The hyenas' plan finally failed.

The leopards finished their meal, and it was not their turn for the second round.

The male lion Sunny, who was patrolling on the edge of his territory, happened to smell the food and came looking for it in the direction of the wind.

Klein's eyes suddenly became alert, and Shi Qiao had already formed a conditioned reflex. When she saw the boss's expression, she looked around for a suitable tree and prepared to go up to escape.

The area where they were was all covered with spiky grass, and the taller ones were only shrubs. It was too late to climb up the trees.

At the same time that the leopard and the zebra carcass were far away, the fast-eating lion Sunny had already arrived at the scene. He has been patrolling for several days and has not had time to hunt. Now he is so hungry that his stomach is empty. He has no time to pay attention to the movements of the leopard. He only wants to eat.

The other party was still chewing meat, but Klein had already led the little leopard to a safe area.

There was no sign of tension between either side. Shi Qiao was more relaxed and no longer looked back frequently to watch the lion's movements when running.

Sunny didn't know that his wife and children were about to be stolen. He glanced at the big and small leopards running back and thought, after not seeing each other for so long, a certain leopard would change his temper and run very fast when he saw him.

That's pretty much it.

Finally, a somewhat normal leopard sees the lion's form!

Every time it sees a certain male leopard, it feels that its dignity as the leader of the male lions is being rubbed repeatedly in its light eyes, making it always want to fight with the male leopard to decide the outcome.

Sunny, who thought his aura was getting stronger, felt better and ate more happily.

Little did he know that the two leopards it thought had changed their gender just wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the lions fight and let each other have a good meal to prepare for the fierce battle that followed.

When they returned to the acacia forest, Shi Qiao felt that the distance he ran today was several times longer than before. In order not to encounter stray lions on the way back, it was equivalent to walking around the territory.

After the little leopard climbed up the tree, it felt like its flesh pads had been thinned out. Fortunately, its stomach was filled with delicious and tender zebra meat. This trip was well worth it!

Shi Qiao remembered that she didn't know if her boss's body had been kicked by the zebra just now. She turned her head to look at the wounds on the opponent's body. Fortunately, it was still the same as before. It was not torn due to excessive hunting movements, and there were no signs of inflammation.

She once again lamented the beast's amazing recovery ability. Could it be that this thing had something to do with her own ability?

Although there were no ugly scars left on her body as expected, the place bitten by the hyena was still a little uncomfortable, especially after she turned over and was rubbed by the rough tree trunk.

To speed up the recovery of the wound, it is still necessary to lick and clean it every day.

Just like the boss takes care of his own wounds every day, Shi Qiao also takes over the job of licking her own wounds every day.

On a rainy day, the fur on its body was damp and never felt dry. When the little leopard finished licking its wounds and was about to call it a day, the male leopard turned over unsatisfied, revealing his belly that had just been wet with the dew from the sharp-haired grass.

Shi Qiao raised her paw and patted the boss's stomach.

This is a bit too much since the belly can be licked by oneself.

A certain leopard becomes lazy after discovering that their little followers are becoming more and more capable, just like a parent who discovers that his children are good at housework and waits for their cubs to do the work for them every day.

Shi Qiao was so indignant that her tongue was sore after licking the wound once. She wanted to go on strike!

The little leopard crawled towards the opposite side of the tree branch, preparing to climb onto another tree branch. However, the big man saw through her intention in advance and directly wrapped his tail around her waist and pulled her back.

It's really unfair. Why does a leopard have such a strong tail?

The uprising of the little follower failed and was ruthlessly suppressed by the big boss. In the end, she was taken back. Shi Qiao could only continue to "work" with her head down.

Licking, licking, licking harder means she doesn't have to rework again, and she can get off work earlier.

The fur on the leopard's abdomen is lighter in color than the fur on its back, and the part outside the spots is light white, and it is softer to lick than the fur on its back.

For cats, licking fur is an extremely stress-relieving activity, and Shi Qiao gradually became immersed in it as she licked.

There is no other reason.

The fur on the boss's belly was softer than she expected, and it tasted pretty good. The more she licked it, the smoother it became. Shi Qiao thought to herself, no matter how ferocious a beast it is, the fur on its belly is still soft.

The little leopard licks vigorously as if it really regards licking as a task that needs to be completed seriously.

Thin and dense breaths sprinkled on the fur. The originally wet fur was licked dry, and then patted with warm breath, becoming dry. It was obviously a pleasant touch, but the male leopard felt that his belly was getting more and more itchy from being licked.

The hot breath spread from the small area where it was licked to a large area, making the entire abdomen feel numb, making it move further away uncomfortably.

The little leopard, who was immersed in licking fur, didn't notice anything unusual about the other person, so she moved closer and continued to lick. The more she concentrated, the more carefully she licked. Not only the fur but also the fur was licked to numbness.

The color of a pair of golden eyes changed from light to dark, and the sharp claws subconsciously stretched out, fearing to hurt the opponent, and then retracted instantly. Between the stretching and retraction, there were already several deep scratches on the branches under the claws.

Shi Qiao happened to be suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder and was going to lick every strand of the other person's fur today. Suddenly, the male leopard next to her turned over and pressed her abdomen under him to stop licking.

Not only was she not allowed to continue licking, but his paws also slapped anxiously on the tree trunk beneath him, causing the bark to crack and fall to the ground.

? ? ?

Shi Qiao was not afraid of the other party losing his temper. She knew that even if the boss was angry, she would not be endangered. She just scratched her head in confusion.

She felt that she was licking his very seriously. Why wasn't Klein impatient?

The heart of the boss is like a needle in the sea, which is really unpredictable for the little follower.

She was forced to stop as soon as she gained some experience from licking. Fortunately, she also had hair. Shi Qiao turned her face and licked herself if she wasn't allowed.

Unexpectedly, after she turned around, the other party forcefully held the back of her neck and turned her around. Shi Qiao was confused and felt that a certain male leopard was moody, so she cautiously chose to move away and keep a distance from the other party.

But as soon as she pulled away a little distance, she was pushed closer again. She moved again, and the other party applied it again, moved it again, and applied it again, just like applying leopard skin plaster.

The little leopard was not allowed to lick him just now and was so annoyed that he slapped the tree, but now he was sticky again, and the little leopard was so angry that she used her head to push the opponent away.

She wants to sleep!

Knowing that he was in the wrong, Klein brought the other person closer to him again and smoothed her hair to comfort her.

As the rainy season approaches the middle and late stages, adult leopards either start to attract bees or butterflies or are ready to act. Young male leopards who have not experienced these things have a more sensitive temper than before.

A certain sub-adult who has not yet reached the age does not have this problem, only the male leopard is irritable every month.

Originally, Shi Qiao was exhausted from running a long way today and was exhausted from licking the fur for so long. Before Klein could lick it a few times in turn, she tilted her head and fell asleep on his paws.

It was the opponent's claws that were pressing.

Shi Qiao slept soundly. It was neither good to leave the other male leopard sleeping nor to leave. Another heavy rain was needed to water his head.

Maybe God heard some thoughts, and it really rained heavily the next day.

Shi Qiao was awakened by a huge lightning that suddenly appeared on the horizon. The sky was gloomy, full of black clouds that threatened to destroy the city. When struck by lightning, all the animals thought it was dawn and raised their heads in surprise.

The grassland only lit up for a moment before going dark again. Lightning pierced the quiet sky, followed by rumbles of thunder.

The grassland was originally empty, and there were no shelters or lightning rods. The sound of thunder exploded in their ears, like a male thunderbolt and a female thunderbolt flying above their heads to act as an alarm clock. It was more like thousands of iron barrels filled with explosives colliding with each other and rolling around in the air.

Shi Qiao was afraid that the lightning would strike closer and closer, so she quickly dragged Klein down from the tree and ran far away to find an open and safe place to lie down.

What she expected was correct, the lightning was indeed getting closer to them.

Feeling the increasingly dense electric charges in the air, the leopard's fur was uncontrollably attracted and exploded, all pointing straight upwards. A purple-gold forked lightning struck in the air and struck the tallest Zelkova tree nearby at the same time.

Fortunately, the old acacia tree they were staying at was quite strong and not as tall as the zelkova tree, otherwise, it would probably be the acacia tree that would suffer.

The thunder that resounded through the sky made all animals tremble, and Shi Qiao was no exception. She held her head with her front paws and pressed her whole body to the ground, fearing that she and the boss around her would be selected by the lightning as the next lead.

The weather in the rainy season is unpredictable, and without human means of preventing disasters in advance, animals can only passively accept the power of the God of Nature from time to time.

The unpredictable nature is much scarier than the unpredictable wild beasts. The habitats that they relied on for survival in the past will become a prison that all animals cannot escape during disasters.

In front of nature, all living beings are equal and will never show mercy to animals.

Klein protected the little leopard in his arms, which was soaked by the rain and began to tremble with cold. He used his body to shield the little leopard from the wind and rain and quietly waited for the storm and the thunder and lightning that accompanied it to pass.

After the heavy rain, the tall grass that had always been strong and stiff was beaten to the point of being bent down, and it would not be able to return to its original shape for a while.

The sky is clear and blue, and the sun finally appears. Without the cover of the grass and cloudy sky, the stray lions can't hold back and are ready to take the initiative.

The empty grassland once again became the backdrop for animals. Shi Qiao saw the leader of the male lion returning from patrol. The female lions of the lion group had evacuated from where the stray lions were staying. Sunny, who returned late, finally discovered something strange about the lion group.

The lion stepped closer to the puddles that were scattered under his feet after the rain, and his heavy steps splashed water droplets hanging in the air.

As the opponent takes the next step, the water drops crackle and fall again, waiting for the next jump.

Not only Shi Qiao saw it, but the wandering brothers Charlie and Pucci also saw the lion's figure. The beast's eyes narrowed and met the angry gaze of the lion leader.

The battle for the leadership of the lions begins in front of the leopard.
