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

Chapter 34: ◎Prairie Model Working Leopard (34)◎



Although such a not serious injury was the limit that Shi Qiao could strive for, she still couldn't chase her prey as she pleased for several days.

If she can't hunt, she will starve.

Fortunately, the delivery boy came in handy at this time.

To take care of the little leopard who was unwilling to move down the tree, he chased after a cheetah that was sneaking away with its prey, and resumed his old job as a prairie bully, robbing homes and foods.

Without the help of the leopards in hunting, there is no way to catch food. The prey that Cudi can catch is not big enough, and sometimes it is not big enough to fit between the teeth, and it has to be divided into the mouth of the leopard, which no one can bear.

In the end, the cheetah was bullied so much that he moved away from the two leopards.

Even if Klein is injured, he can't beat him. During this period, he must stay away from these two "debt collectors" and protect his prey!

Catching a sheep to extract its wool is not a long-term solution. After the cheetahs ran far away and vowed not to come back until they recovered from their injuries, Klein set his sights on other animals.

He was so courageous that he not only dared to rob a cheetah but also a lion.

The male lion rarely got tired of patrolling and decided to hunt on his own. As soon as he caught a lone impala, Klein intercepted him. Sunny was so angry that he chased the leopard directly to the other side.

However, once the other party brought the prey up the tree, it had no choice but to curse and go back to rub the prey of the lioness wives.

Only then did Shi Qiao realize the advantage of the combination of two leopards. If one couldn't do it, the other could still take over. Fortunately, she still had the boss, otherwise she would have starved to death in such a bloody fight.

While eating, the little leopard sighed to the boss: "Klein, what would I do without you?"

When Klein heard the other party's cry, he put down the food in his mouth and licked the other party's head. He would never live without her. As long as they could stay with each other, he would always know what to do.

The two leopards here can eat and drink enough during the dry season, and the other leopards on the other side have learned the news.

After hearing that Thea and Klein killed Candiven, the surrounding leopards did not dare to break into their territory easily.

The young male leopards who had luckily escaped from them before realized that it wasn't their escape skills that were so powerful, but that Thea and Klein still showed mercy.

During the entire dry season, there was no one of the same kind to provoke them, so Shi Qiao was happy and relaxed. She hunted and walked with the boss every day, and recovered her energy from injuries.

The male leopard next to her visibly healed faster than her injury, making Shi Qiao envious once again.

The bite mark on her neck was quite deep. The little leopard once thought she was going to have a scar and was frightened all day long.

Although the scars are medals on the beast, it does not mean that she is willing to walk around with the teeth marks of her enemies. She has to be licked and disinfected by the boss every day.

The anti-inflammatory effect of saliva is very powerful in the wild. The wound on her neck healed half a month later, and she underestimated her own healing ability. In the end, only a shallow mark was left, which could not be seen clearly even if her fur blocked it.

Shi Qiao was relieved.

It was not in vain that she risked breaking her neck by licking it every day.

She was very lucky to have recovered her strength before the journey to heaven, and she was able to make up for all the excitement she had missed while staying in the tree last year.

In sharp contrast to the wild wilderness in the dry season, there are waves of animal armies, headed by zebras, wildebeests, and antelopes, of which the largest number is the wildebeest.

They travel in large groups through the territory of the beasts, searching for new pastures one after another. The most difficult and exciting step is to cross the Mara River.

Predators along the way, including leopards, lions, hyenas, and crocodiles, are all stumbling blocks on their migration path.

Shi Qiao was one of the stumbling blocks this year.

There are huge hippos on the river bank that are not afraid of predators. They are not part of the menu of these beasts. They take a leisurely bath, chat, and watch the fun. Also watching the fun are the baboons and giraffes who especially sound the alarm to herbivores at this time.

It can be said that the entire grassland has mobilized all the animals in the row, and most of them are gathered on both sides of the river.

Tens of thousands of wildebeests formed a marching army that covered the sky. The yellow sand stirred up next to the river bank was flying all over the sky. Shi Qiao was choked by the dust and squinted her eyes. She stared at the bank intently to see who was the pioneer wildebeest.

The herbivores are anxiously looking for an opportunity as if no one has enough courage to take the first step.

Unexpectedly, the first "warrior" waiting for the crocodile in the river was not the wildebeest, but the giraffe on the other side who couldn't help but want to go to the other side of the river to eat Zelkova leaves first.

With Big Brother Giraffe taking the lead, the wildebeests had an idea and jumped into the river one after another while the other party diverted the attention of most predators.

The huge size of giraffes is indeed difficult for predators to touch. The crocodiles in the river are still distinguishing which prey can be easily obtained. The first group of wildebeests protected by the big giraffes have already waded into the middle of the river.

They must maintain the fastest speed and reduce the time they stay in the river to avoid being targeted by crocodiles.

Shi Qiao counted silently in her mind. The first one arrived on the other side, and then the second and third ones led the next batch. Finally, when she gave up counting, the crocodile took action.

To be precise, it moved its mouth.

Their four legs floating underwater swim quickly. On the river, it looks like sections of dead wood drifting with the current to the side of the wildebeest herd. The passing wildebeests cannot retreat to the shore and can only bite the bullet and pass by the crocodiles.

If they can outrun the crocodiles, they can join the small group of successful people who have crossed to the other side.

There are lucky ones, and there are unlucky ones. Many wildebeests crossed to the other side of the river, and many wildebeests became victims in this succession. The water splashed everywhere, and the crocodile's terrifying big mouth bit the wildebeest's leg, and then used its amazing bite force and death roll to drag the prey into the water, where it would either drown or bite it to death.

The wildebeest that died on the way went to heaven, and this became the origin of the name "Celestial Crossing".

Watching this tough battle with the leopards was also a human photographer. Andrew captured the first wildebeest following a giraffe across the river, as well as the rear guard feeding the crocodiles vigorously.

Shi Qiao glanced at the photographer who kept mumbling in the distance, and stood up with the boss next to her.

After passing the crocodile level, the wildebeests waited until the large group came over before heading this way. It was time for them to show off their talents.

Shi Qiao deliberately chose this location.

Not only can the wildebeests hunt when they have exhausted too much energy from crossing the river, but they can also see the grand scene of the crossing from heaven in all directions so that they can watch the fun and get down to business without delay.

The leading group of wildebeests have already waited for most of their kind. The remaining ones are still struggling in the river and are in urgent need of finding the next place to stay and eat. They cannot wait any longer.

After the wildebeests arrived on the other side of the river, they did not immediately divide into small groups but remained in groups. Hunting at this time is risky for the beasts.

It's easy to be attacked by a group.

The two leopards watched quietly from a distant tree and finally jumped down from the zelkova tree where they were hiding when the time was right.

The color and markings of the leopard's fur blend perfectly with the withered grass background. It is better at playing hide-and-seek than the crocodile lion, and it quietly approaches the wildebeest herd.

Shi Qiao's target was an old wildebeest. It weighed a lot, but it was difficult to move. It had been exhausted after crossing the river just now, and now it was a little difficult to follow the herd.

The way to avoid encountering a collective siege by the wildebeest army is to ensure the success of the raid.

Unlike lions who rely on recklessness, leopards rely on surprise.

Little Leopard takes the lead, and Klein is ready on the other side. If the opponent fails, he can sneak attack from the side.

On her first hunt after recovering from her injury, Shi Qiao did not allow herself to fail. She focused her eyes and stared at her target seriously. She watched the opponent approach and shorten the distance to the shortest distance between two points and one line, then rushed forward suddenly.

She succeeded, but she was embarrassed to be hung on the wildebeest's back and unable to get off.

The opponent was too big, and she refused to let go. She was almost dragged into the wildebeest troop. Klein quickly stopped the old wildebeest's panic, and the two leopards worked together to conquer this big guy.

It feels good to have Leopard helping me.

Shi Qiao jumped off the wildebeest and happily dragged the heavy prey to the back of the bush. In fact, it was okay to eat on the spot. The main thing was that he had to guard against the resentful cheetahs and lions.

After admiring the majestic crossing to heaven, eating such a wildebeest feast is the most enjoyable day for leopards.

After eating enough, she licked the corners of her blood-stained mouth. When she raised her head again, the herd of wildebeest had disappeared, replaced by other herbivores behind them.

Round after round of migration fed the predators in the river and the predators on the shore. The beasts happily lowered their flags and retreated to their respective territories to digest the food in their stomachs.

The next few days would also be a good opportunity for them to seize the time to hunt. Shi Qiao would not miss a meal and would wait for the prey to arrive on time.

When all the animals that are about to cross the river run to the other side, they will quickly split into small groups and go to new pastures. At that time, like a pile of balloons that fly away when the rope is loosened, the predators will fall into the most difficult stage of the dry season.

This dry season is not as difficult as last year for her and the boss.

Because last year it was Klein who had to feed the two leopards, this year the cub became a powerful helper, able to do anything in the sky and on the earth, even catching small prey if there was no big prey.

No matter how small the guinea fowl is, it is still meat!

Shi Qiao thought of the oath she made when she was a child, that she would work hard as a follower for the big boss and dedicate all her prey to him.

Of course, even if she wanted to leave all the rations to the other party, the boss would not want to, so she could only reluctantly accept the "care" from the boss.

The entire dry season was spent lovingly by two leopards. They have outstanding abilities. Sometimes they cannot find prey and cannot starve for several days. Together with a cheetah, a good runner, the combination of the three can survive the driest and harshest weather.

It was the end of the dry season again, and Andrew silently held up the last shot, leaving the silhouettes of two leopards clinging to each other under a tree.

Although reluctant to give up, he has full confidence in them.

In the most desolate and dry weather, Thea and Klein were like clear springs flowing in their hearts. The way they accompanied each other with ease also made humans feel healed.

Andrew exhaled and waved to the leopard, hoping that they would meet again next year.

Shi Qiao looked at the disappearing figure of the off-road vehicle and yawned greatly.

She looked up at the low clouds and blue sky and knew that the dry season was coming to an end, the seasons were changing, and half a year would pass in the blink of an eye.

Life in the grassland does not have the precise and compact concept of time as in the human world. They run on the road of survival day after day without any messy burdens and live a simple and pure life.

Shi Qiao's greatest joy is returning to the acacia forest during the rainy season.

Finally, she can sleep in the tree with the boss again!

During the dry season, she sleeps on the ground for a long time, and she often encounters other animals passing by. The quality of sleep is really not as good as sleeping in a tree, but it has a unique flavor. At least she can roll around without fear of falling.

Along with the rainy season comes a period of restlessness that animals love to see.

Thinking that she has developed super physical fitness during the dry season and is even as good as the big boss, the little leopard dares to challenge the opponent head-on for the first time.

After seeing two familiar little flames in the other person's eyes, she dared to deliberately add a few handfuls of dry firewood and lower her head to lick the boss's belly.

When Klein grabbed the skin of the little leopard's neck and pulled the opponent's head out of his stomach, looking at the opponent dangerously, a certain little leopard blinked innocently.

What's wrong?

She just wanted to smooth things over for the boss and take advantage of him.

Thea, who is so arrogant now, learned everything from Klein through hearing and seeing, but the direction of applying what she learned is a little bit wrong, and the person she is dealing with is the most difficult to mess with.

The shadowy figure of the leopard in the canopy of the tree cannot be clearly seen, and all one can hear is the scratching of the ears and the moaning of the little leopard begging for mercy.

The first question the little animals who come here for a walk from time to time see each other is.

Did the little leopard cry today?

As the rainy and dry seasons alternate, the animals continue their lives.

To this land, all life is like snowflakes falling on time, born beautifully and suddenly, completing their mission, then landing or continuing to fly according to their own will, browsing the beauty of this world, and finally blending into the earth at a certain moment.

In the eyes of nature, the lifespan of a leopard is just a short falling snowflake. More than ten years are like a crawler track, slowly passing under the feet of Shi Qiao and Klein.

Counting the days they spent together in the grassland, every day was enjoyable.

Probably happiness is the most important thing to stay young. Shi Qiao doesn't feel that she and his boss have entered old age at all.

The presence of humans during the dry season every year was recorded. They sent Cudi and several lion neighbors away and watched the lions change dynasties and the elephant herd develop and grow.

Year after year, herbivores move from south to north and north to south according to their genetic memory.

There are many places on the grassland where the two leopards have left their mark. The animals that have seen them may disappear in the long river of time, but their deeds are passed down from generation to generation.

Death is the inevitable path for every animal, Shi Qiao has always known.

It just came a little fast.

She was not tired of the grassland life at all, and she was even more reluctant to say goodbye to Klein forever.

The leopards who accompanied each other did not suffer too much even in old age. She and Klein fought against other beasts again and again, becoming winners in every battle until the day of glorious retirement officially arrived.

Shi Qiao wanted to stand up again and race with Klein, but this time they couldn't run anymore.

Klein lay next to her like every other day. Their white fur showed their age. Their grace was still magnificent, and their eyes were still bright.

There was a tiny sparkle in the little leopard's eyes when he looked at him, as vivid and beautiful as when he was a child, so he couldn't help but lick it again and again.

Shi Qiao called to the other party softly: "I don't know which of us will fall asleep first, but we have to say goodbye first."

Goodbye means see you later, not farewell.

Soon, they will all have a good sleep, and maybe they will see each other in dreams, in the sky, or on the distant stars.

Hearing the other party's small whine, Klein also felt sleepy. Before closing his eyes, he bit the little leopard's ear to remind the other party not to run around or look for other leopards when they got to another place.

Shi Qiao bent her eyes and nuzzled the other person's head for the last time.

No matter where she goes, she won't run around.

She didn't want to find anyone except Klein.

(Note: I'm not crying! You are!!)
