Reborn as a cheetah

Rojo was awakened by thunder.

In the deafening thunder, lightning cut through the curtain of the night, lighting up the distant sky again and again.The falling lightning ignited the withered grass, and in a dazzling red light, billowing smoke spread out in the night.

Luo Qiao just watched all this quietly, the thunder and lightning heralded the coming of rain, but this rain would not last long.Most of the dry season is over, and the delta will occasionally rain, as a prelude to the rainy season, to moisten the dried up ponds and creeks, but this is only a drop in the bucket. After dawn, what is left for the grassland residents is still hot and scorching heat.

The thunder and lightning continued, but the rain did not fall for a long time, and the fire began to become out of control.

"Dad, what is this?"

Without Luo Qiao's body temperature, Rosen and Luo Rui woke up immediately. Seeing Luo Qiao standing at the entrance of the cave looking into the distance, they also walked over.It was the first time for the two cubs to see fire. The burning flames, surrounded by thick smoke, were very eye-catching in the night.

"It's fire."

Luo Qiao swept Rosen and Luo Rui with his tail, squatted down, and brought them closer to him. It hadn't rained for several months, and the high temperature evaporated the last trace of moisture in the air. a disaster.It is not surprising that lightning can start a fire, and as long as the rain falls, the fire will be extinguished.

The rocky mountain where Luo Qiao and the two little cheetahs live is a certain distance from the fire, and Luo Qiao is not worried that the fire will burn here. Instead, he took the opportunity to teach the two little cheetahs a lesson, including the usefulness of fire and how scary it is.

Animals on the prairie are not afraid of fire. Almost every year when the dry season alternates with the rainy season, there will be fires.After the fire, the land previously occupied by dead grass will be renewed, and green grass will grow again, attracting migratory herbivores to return to this grassland.In a sense, this has also become a boon for predators.However, there are always two sides to one thing. After every fire, some animals will not be able to escape in time and will be buried in the flames.

Prairie fires also burn away tall grass and shrubs that predators use to hide, and if left unchecked, can eventually wreak havoc on the animals that live there.

Fortunately, rainwater always falls in time. For thousands of years, this has become an important part of the grassland ecological cycle.

Nature is merciful and cruel.Only species that know how to obey the rules can survive and multiply on the planet Lothar, from generation to generation.

The animals near the fire were very calm. Experienced antelopes and giraffes would decide where to flee according to the spread of the fire, but the young cubs looked at the crackling grass with fear and curiosity. Flame, a young bull elephant sleeps in the center of the fire. He was a little anxious, but he was lucky enough to find the direction to escape from the fire. When he came out of the bushes, he saw several The hartebeests were grazing nonchalantly by the line of fire, and even some awakened birds fluttered their wings excitedly and flew up and down, catching the fleeing insects.

A female hartebeest raised her head, saw the somewhat embarrassed male elephant clearly through the firelight, and kicked the other female hartebeest with her foreleg, obviously saying: Look, the elephant that was scared stupid!

As a BOSS figure who can drive away a whole herd of lions, the young male elephant said that being frightened by the fire and being ridiculed by the hartebeest is really a shameful thing.

As a result, the distraught elephant rolled up its trunk and let out a loud elephant call. The group of warriors who dared to laugh at the elephant had to start a strategic shift amidst the elephant call.

In fact, there is no need for them to stick to their positions. The fire is about to burn here, and no one will just sacrifice their lives for face.

A black rhinoceros in the territory of brothers Parson and Jie Luo was not so lucky. His long rhino horn became the best lightning rod, and he was unlucky to be caught when the first lightning struck.

Parson and Gero witnessed the whole process from the lightning falling to the rhino falling to the ground. It was not the first time for the brothers to see lightning, but it was the first time they saw a rhino killed by lightning.

It's really not ordinary bad luck...

Parson cautiously kept a certain distance from the rhino's corpse, and Gero wanted to check it out, maybe it was a free dinner, but Parson stopped him.

"The Horsby pride has been around these days and they won't miss this meal."

Parson shook his head at Jie Luo, and Jie Luo flicked his tail regretfully.Parson originally wanted to go through the lions' territory to find Rojo, but he didn't expect the lions to suddenly run nearby and never left.Parson could only temporarily dispel the idea and wait and see what happened.

What Parson couldn't figure out was that this was almost the barren part of Horsby's lions' territory. There was no water source, prey was scarce, and there were rhinos that could pose a threat to the lions. How could the lions come here suddenly?

The brothers knew that the Horsby lions and the Oros lions had a fight not long ago, and lion fights were almost commonplace, but they didn't know that the Oros lions occupied a large area of ​​​​the Horsby lions. Horsby's lions Almost driven here.In a short time, it is impossible to leave.

"What now?"

The rhino died here, and the brothers had to leave quickly if they didn't want the dead body and get into trouble.

Parson understood what Jie Luo meant. The lions were nearby, so it was impossible for them to swagger through the lion's territory. Besides, there was still a big meal here, and the lions would come soon.

"Get out of here first."

Parson turned around and walked deep into the territory.Jie Luo followed behind his brother, but Parson suddenly turned his head and looked behind him.

"elder brother?"

"It's okay, let's go."

After the cheetah brothers left, Monty climbed down from a tree on the border of Rojo's territory. After careful consideration, he finally abandoned the rhino's carcass and walked into the tall grass.

Monty went just in time, and the Horsby pride arrived a short while later.

The thunder and lightning continued, the rain finally fell, and the pouring rain woven into a rain curtain. The raging fire became vulnerable to the heavy rain and went out after a while.

Rojo and the two cubs stood at the entrance of the cave for a while, and then returned to the comfortable haystack.Luo Qiao couldn't help thinking that when he picked up Rosen and Luo Rui, the father and son had no shelter, and the only place they could take shelter from the rain was the abandoned anthill, but every time they would get drenched to the core.

Now, they stay in their comfortable caves, and even if the rain is blown in by the wind, their fur will not be wet.

Rosen and Rory rolled happily on the dry grass. The rain seeped in from the cracks on the top of the cave, and dripped into thin rain lines, which formed a small puddle after a while. Rory walked over curiously He looked up at the place where the raindrops fell, moved his ears, and couldn't help but want to lick it, but Luo Qiao bit the back of his neck and dragged him back.

"No drinking! Unclean."

Luo Qiao patted Rory's ass with his paws, the meaning was obvious, disobedient, spanking!

Rojo doesn't object to drinking rainwater, but this kind of seepage from rock cracks is not good.Not long ago, Luo Qiao left his iconic "smell" on the rocky mountain. Even though the rain was clean, Luo Qiao still had a psychological shadow.

Since his father forbids it, the little cheetah is naturally obedient.Luo Rui rubbed Luo Qiao's chin flatteringly, "Dad, I'm obedient."

So, forget about spanking.

Rosen couldn't help biting Rory's tail. It's already eight months old, how can he act like a cub for two or three months? !

Rory immediately rushed forward and rolled into a ball with Rosen. Is he the only one acting like a baby? !Every time my brother is hungry, doesn't he just roll around and act cute? !

It was my brother who summed up the [-] styles of cuteness, and he just followed suit!

The two little cheetahs were rolling happily. Luo Qiao looked up at the sky, then down at the ground, licked his paws, and finally couldn't hold back, "Son, dad is here!"

So, a big cat and two little big cats rolled into a ball happily.

In the early morning of the next day, Luo Qiao walked out of the cave with two cubs. The air was no longer filled with the smell of dust. The fresh air and newly grown green grass added vitality to the grassland in the dry season, but this vitality It's just a flash in the pan, and soon, the grassland will be covered with withered yellow again.Only when the rainy season comes, can the dry season be truly alleviated.

"Father, where are we going to find prey today?"

"Go to Gangsa River."

It has just rained, and the grassland has grown new grass, which is likely to attract herbivores on the other side to cross the Gangsa River.If you are lucky, you may catch unexpected prey.

As Rojo expected, a group of herbivores had gathered on the other side of the river, the most numerous of which were wildebeests that migrated with the rain and the seasons.Although most of the wildebeests have migrated to farther pastures, a small number of them remain on the other side. The new grass after the rain is a great temptation for wildebeests.

Green grass attracts wildebeest, and the gathering of wildebeest attracts predators who suffer in the dry season.

Luo Qiao and two little cheetahs were hiding in the forest belt on the river bank. Rosen and Luo Rui looked at the wildebeest herd on the other side with their eyes shining, but Luo Qiao was thinking about the right time to hunt.

The crocodiles in the river showed little interest in the wildebeest, and they seemed to have no intention of hunting.The leading wildebeest walked to a relatively flat river bank and began to look for a suitable crossing point. The wildebeests were all waiting for his decision.When he made up his mind to jump up and jumped into the river, the herd of wildebeest behind him began to follow his footsteps, and more and more wildebeest jumped into the river.Finally, the crocodiles no longer looked like old monks in meditation. They opened their mouths wide and bit the wildebeest's hooves and necks, trying to drag their targets into the water and drown them.

The wildebeest bitten by the crocodile has almost no chance to break free, but a strong female wildebeest miraculously escaped to the shore!She also paid a considerable price, with one of her legs broken.

Luo Qiao instantly locked on the target. For the cheetah, this female wildebeest was indeed a bit too big, but this wildebeest was injured, and Luo Qiao could not let go of such a good opportunity.

But Rojo was obviously not the only predator who saw a chance. A lioness, before Rojo could make a move, suddenly rushed out of the grass and threw down the injured wildebeest, causing Rojo to freeze.

Then, one after another, lionesses rushed out of their hiding places and threw down their respective targets. In just a moment, the group of lions harvested three strong adult wildebeests and one wildebeest cub!

Rojo knew them, the lionesses of the Oros pride.Luo Qiao began to feel annoyed, he should have thought of it a long time ago, how could the lions miss such a good hunting opportunity, even in the daytime!

However, the growling stomach made Rojo unwilling to give up the herd of wildebeests.He gave up hunting on the river bank and chose to continue tracking wildebeest herds.Follow this herd of wildebeest and there will always be opportunities.

The Oros pride of lions had a bumper harvest today. The prey caught by six lionesses could keep the pride of lions from hunting for a week.

"Shana, go tell Tiny and the others to come over, and then go pick up the cubs."

Tina let go of the wildebeest's neck, ordered the hunting lionesses to take care of their prey, and dragged the wildebeest to a corner where it could be hidden. What she caught was a male wildebeest, but this one, plus Rosa's capture cubs, enough to feed all the lions.What's more, they have two other heads!

The heavy rain last night and the wildebeest crossing the river today are unexpected surprises for the lions. Lions are always good at seizing opportunities.Of course, this does not only refer to the Oros lions.The Hosby lions occupied the rhino's carcass just as Parson and Gero expected. With this rhino, there was no need to capture the wildebeest for the time being.The relationship between Nas and the Filiero brothers suddenly became friendly. After fighting with Oros, the three lions suddenly discovered that they must now unite to fight against Oros without gaining the upper hand.Of course, this kind of friendship has a time limit, and the time limit set by Philip and Arrow is one year.

Luo Qiao led Rosen and Rory to follow behind the wildebeest herd, constantly searching for suitable targets among the wildebeest herd.Finally, he found a baby wildebeest, which seemed to be unable to find its mother, and he had been following another female wildebeest, hoping to get the protection of the female wildebeest.But the female wildebeest has her own children, and she keeps driving the baby wildebeest away from her side. In the wildebeest world, adoption does not exist at all.

This little wildebeest must die.

Even if it wasn't for Rojo, other predators wouldn't let him go.

Most of the wildebeests are now grazing. This little wildebeest is standing alone on the outskirts of the wildebeest herd without the protection of its mother. This is definitely a good opportunity!

"Wait here, don't make a sound."

Luo Qiao let the two cheetahs hide in the grass, sneaked to a place about 30 meters away from the target, and rushed out like lightning before being discovered by the wildebeest.The baby wildebeest born in the rainy season has grown very strong. Its speed is not as fast as that of a cheetah, but its strength is not weak.Rojo grabbed the wildebeest's body with two front paws and bit the young wildebeest's neck, but it was difficult to knock it down to the ground.

The other wildebeests turned a blind eye to the scene.No one will save the little wildebeest except his mother.And his mother had already been buried in the lion's mouth.

The little wildebeest was very tenacious, and Luo Qiao's physical strength began to decline. If he couldn't kill the prey as soon as possible, his only choice was to let him go.

Luo Qiao had no choice but to pat the little wildebeest's eyes with his paws. The little wildebeest felt the pain and relaxed for a moment. Luo Qiao seized the opportunity and finally knocked the little wildebeest to the ground.

Luo Qiao bit the little wildebeest's neck tightly, never giving him a chance to stand up again.

After the prey died, Luo Qiao dragged him to the bush with great effort. The two cubs were already hungry. Perhaps the vultures were attracted by the killing of the lions on the river bank. They didn't see each other until the father and son were full. There are freeloaders looking for it.
