brother wolf

The prairie under the sunset is magnificent and vast.

We came at the right time, it is the rainy season on the grassland, and the prey is abundant, we can take advantage of this time to get used to life in the grassland.

This grassland is full of earth-shaking changes every moment. During the dry season, the grassland is depressed, and large areas of shrubs are dead. All creatures are hiding from the majesty of the scorching sun. A considerable number of animals will die in this harsh season. .

During the rainy season, the vegetation is lush. If there is abundant rainfall for several consecutive years, then one after another dense woodland will appear out of thin air, and animals will look for food in the woodland in groups.

Perhaps the most attractive place on the grassland is here. It not only provides the most delicious prey, but also uses the harshest environment to force you to maintain strong fighting spirit and energy at all times.

Xiao Hei is full of curiosity about everything, which sometimes gives me a headache.

It lacks knowledge and understanding of everything on the grassland, and I try my best to teach it everything it needs to pay attention to living on the grassland.

I keep it looking like a panther all the time, its glossy black fur may become ugly in the near future, which will be a serious blow to Xiao Hei who pays too much attention to appearance.

The first time it saw its kind, it was a beautiful female leopard.

It has a beautiful yellow-brown body with large black spots on its body. It is lurking on a tree, staring at a group of laughing and screaming monkeys below.

Xiao Hei rushed over excitedly and wanted to say hello to his own kind—maybe the same kind—but I held him back. This is a female leopard that was hunting, and its eyes were fixed on its own. For the prey, when a monkey passed under the tree, it swooped down and bit the prey's neck tightly, and then climbed back to the tree with the monkey in its mouth at an extremely fast speed.

There was only a pool of blood left on the ground, and a group of panicked monkeys.

The movement is perfect and impeccable, which can be called an art of hunting. I looked at Xiaohei, his eyes were shining, and he was eager to try, as if he also had the urge to try his skills.

In comparison, there are not many grassland carnivorous beasts that can pose a threat to us, but each of them is very dangerous. Leopards can only be ranked fourth, and the first few are lions, hyenas, wild dogs and soil. The wolves, and then the leopards.

As for the cheetah, a close relative of the leopard, you basically don’t have to worry about it. It is petite, its claws cannot be retracted, and it has no strong attack power. When eating, if you encounter four cheetahs at a time, you can only turn around and avoid them.

When four cheetahs attack together, not even a hyena or a lioness can escape.

But basically, compared to other ferocious grassland beasts, cheetahs can be said to be docile, except when hunting, they generally do not actively attack. Because they lack attack methods, the prey they have worked so hard to catch are often preyed by stronger predators Presumably because of this, cheetahs are becoming less and less common.

I told Xiao Hei these things, of course, he had never seen a cheetah before, and he couldn't tell which cheetah was similar to a leopard in appearance, so I could only try my best to instill this common sense into his brain and let him remember it.

I am quite sure that Xiao Hei does not belong to the cheetah, because its claws are very sharp and can be retracted freely, which is very good, because compared to other cats, the cheetah's survival ability is not strong.

Around us, there are baboons, antelopes, zebras, giraffes, bison, wildebeests, rhinos, and various small animals, such as wild boars burrowing in the grass, and jumping rabbits flashing by.

Xiao Hei licked his paws and looked at these animals. Obviously, he had already regarded them all as his prey.

It is interested in hunting large game.

In order to teach it a lesson, I decided to let it try to compete with the wildebeest.

We followed a herd of wildebeests, a large herd of wildebeests, hundreds of wildebeests gathered together to eat the grass on the ground.

Xiao Hei was lying on the tree, while I was hiding in the grass behind the tree. We observed carefully to see if we could find the weak point of this group of wildebeest. Generally speaking, we would choose young wildebeest or old ones. Wildebeest.

I hesitated for a while, looking at the long black tail hanging down from the tree, wondering if I should make it more impressive, but after thinking about it, I temporarily gave up the idea.

Food has to be eaten bite by bite, and children have to be taught bit by bit.

I saw that Xiao Hei was interested in a little wildebeest, and he stared at the little wildebeest intently. I can almost imagine its mental activity, "Come here a little bit, come a little bit more."

The female wildebeest is not far away, always pay attention to the movement of the young wildebeest, it lowers its head from time to time to nibble on the grass, and then quickly raises its head to look for the young wildebeest playing nearby.

This made Xiao Hei a little disappointed, because it meant that it was difficult to catch the little wildebeest's chance to be alone.

However, its waiting is not useless.

The little wildebeest was attracted by a warthog, and slowly approached him. The warthog looked at the little wildebeest that was approaching non-stop, turned around and walked back, but the little wildebeest had probably never seen it like this. Strange thing, it decided to follow up to see what happened, which also made it farther and farther away from the herd of wildebeests and female wildebeests, and closer and closer to the tree where Xiao Hei was lurking.

Just as it ran over, Xiao Hei jumped down from the tree and threw himself at the little wildebeest.

The frightened little wildebeest immediately spread its legs and ran towards the herd of wildebeests, making loud noises while running.

Hearing the call, the female wildebeest ran over quickly, and slammed into Xiao Hei vigorously with her hoof and head. Xiao Hei was a little stunned by the ferocity of the female wildebeest, and I jumped out quickly, baring my teeth and pretending The little wildebeest rushed over.

The female wildebeest, who couldn't take care of it, had to give up Xiao Hei's side, turned around and ran towards me.

At this time, I had already run away at the fastest speed. After a while, when the wildebeest herd returned to calm, I returned to the tree, and saw Xiao Hei lying tightly on the tree, Obviously still in shock.

I bumped into the tree, Xiao Hei saw me, jumped down from the tree, and rubbed against my body.

I licked its fur to soothe its frightened nerves.

This lesson seems to be good, and it will not easily provoke these large animals in the future, but next time, no, it will take a while, and I will also tell it how to hunt these large prey.

During the dry season, anything can be food.

Even in the face of large prey with strong attack power, we have ways to make them become corpses under our sharp claws, but we will not take risks when it is not necessary.

This is the No.15 day when we came to the grassland.

The setting sun sprinkled the whole earth like blood, and Xiao Hei and I were walking on the way home.

It was the den where my boss and I used to be. I searched for a long time before finding it. I also let a cowardly aardvark flee. In fact, I thought that if it liked this place, I would give it this cave. This cave is enough for me and Xiaohei to live in, but it seems to be a loner, and he doesn't like any neighbors who disturb his quiet life. I can only express my regret for this.

The bush at night is full of sounds, enough to lull you to sleep.

I tossed and turned, not knowing what I was thinking.

Xiao Hei was lying on the nearby tree, and jumped down at this time, lying next to me, rubbing against me contentedly.

Its body temperature is very warm, but I don't know why I feel lonely.

On the second morning, before the sun came out, the wind from the prairie blew across the land, awakening all the sleeping animals.It's a brand new day, and I've shaken off that inexplicable emotion.

The area where Xiao Hei and I are now moving is a lion pride territory, which is quite vast, so we haven't met the owner of this territory so far.

Generally speaking, predators are extremely unfriendly to other predators that appear in their territory. In many cases, they will even act first and kill these predators.

In comparison, I still like to be neighbors with lions, at least these beasts will not attack other predators for no reason, unless you really pose a threat to it, or it is too hungry.

Spotted hyenas, on the other hand, are like a bunch of lunatics. They may be the only predators on the grassland who are willing to waste their energy just because you have broken into its territory or been confronted by it and found that it has the upper hand.

I tried my best to avoid any confrontation with these large predators before Xiaohei got used to life in the grassland.

Of course, I will not let go of this opportunity when I see spotted hyenas alone. Not only do they not have the strength of lions, the speed of cheetahs, and the sharp claws of cats, they can't climb trees. They don't even have the same size. Ordinary predators are completely different, but their combined characteristics, as well as the sharp mouth with superior bite power, murderous and cunning personality, and herd habits make the spotted hyena the most feared predator on the grassland.

I have to let Xiao Hei understand how terrifying this opponent is.

A spotted hyena spotted us, and it tentatively ran over here.

I saw that its head was almost touching the ground, and it looked really wretched.

At this time, Xiao Hei was standing behind me, and the spotted hyena looked over hesitantly. Maybe it didn't understand why a wolf stood so closely with a leopard.

His natural cunning and prudence made him stop and keep watching.

And I gave Xiao Hei an attack order, which is a good target for actual combat.

Xiao Hei ran over excitedly, and within a short period of time, it had grown a lot. Every line of its body was almost perfect, full of explosive power.

Apart from the occasional recklessness, it is already an excellent predator.

The spotted hyena discovered Xiao Hei's attempt. Instead of confronting him head-on, it turned around and ran away without hesitation. This behavior of escaping made Xiao Hei even more excited, and it chased him with all its strength.

Crossing patches of grass and bushes, the chase lasted for a long time, I followed far behind, facing the speed of the leopard, the spotted hyena was a little powerless behind, but then I let out an anxious roar, Xiao Hei stopped suddenly He got down and looked at me inexplicably.

I called it eagerly, it hesitated for a while, but finally obeyed my words, gave up the prey that was about to be obtained, and ran towards me.

But it was a bit late, and several spotted hyenas appeared not far away, and the chased spotted hyena found his companion.

Looking at the spotted hyenas who are staring at tigers with fierce eyes, I know that a fierce battle is inevitable, and it is likely to be more dangerous than good.

Xiao Hei stood next to me, looking at the ugly opponent in front of me as if he was making a comment.

I licked its neck to make it careful.

We were surrounded by five spotted hyenas, looking confident that they had us in their pockets, pointing their drooling mouths at us.

To be honest, I'm not sure I'll be able to retreat completely, but I'm never timid in the face of battle, come on, let me see your strength.

The battle broke out in an instant, and the five-fingered hyena surrounded the city and rushed towards me and Xiao Hei, biting desperately.

Xiao Hei and I tried our best to avoid their fierce attacks, and used every possible method to fight back against them.

These experienced spotted hyenas were not fooled by our tricks, and bit us tightly.

Looking at the opportunity, I bit a spotted hyena's hind leg and let it bark wildly. At this time, the two spotted hyenas next to me immediately rushed towards me.

Seeing that it was about to bite me, I had to bite the spotted hyena and roll on the ground with it, and finally escaped the attack.

And Xiao Hei next to him was even more dangerous. It had been bitten by a spotted hyena, and a lot of blood flowed out from the wound.

This is the first time it has been injured on the grassland.

I roared anxiously, and wanted to rush over to save it, but was held back by three other spotted hyenas, unable to take care of myself.

Just when I was almost desperate, I saw a familiar silver-gray figure appearing in front of me.

It bit the neck of a spotted hyena with lightning speed, and I heard the crisp sound of bones breaking. It threw the spotted hyena's body aside, and then rushed to another one. The fierce battle made I didn't have time to think about this unexpected scene, so I turned around to rescue Xiao Hei's crisis.

The tables turned and we won.

We left the field quickly so that the hyenas would not follow the scent.

I looked at the boss who was running side by side with me, and almost thought I was dreaming, but it was not a dream. I could feel its vigorous limbs running briskly, and I could see its silver-white hair blown by the wind. I saw it raised its head and let out a long howl.

After arriving at a safe place, I asked Xiao Hei to climb a tree to rest for a while.

The boss stood beside me, looking at me tenderly with dark brown eyes, he leaned over to lick my fur and rub against my body, just like before.

I don't know why I had the urge to cry, however, I just rubbed against it, cuddled and licked it according to the wolf's habit.

The boss returned to the grassland.

It didn't explain anything to me, and it didn't become human again, as if everything that happened in the Rus Empire was just a part of the past that had passed away.

It is by my side, as if it is only right and proper, as it should be.

Or it never left.

It looked a little haggard, its silver-gray fur was covered with mud and grass clippings, and it was knotted everywhere. I laughed when I saw its embarrassed appearance.

It seemed to sense my smile, came over, licked my neck, and we bit each other gently, as if we were back when we were young.

The boss is telling something with his eyes, licks, and various actions.

I think, I understand.

Maybe we will face more problems tomorrow, but the loneliness that filled my heart has disappeared.

That nameless emptiness was finally filled.
