Autumn is the dry season on the grassland.

The withered yellow weeds as high as a person's knees are still under the scorching sun, stretching all the way to the horizon.

Two round ears were exposed from a certain grass, shaking it from time to time to drive away the flies lying on its ears. When it was really annoying, it lay down and rubbed between its paws, then blinked and stared at the little bird not far away. pool.

Apex of the food chain for savannah predators, this savannah lion looks remarkably sluggish.

"hungry--"

"hungry--"

Qiao Yi sighed deeply, counting it had been two days since he turned into a lion the moment he opened his eyes, and he hardly ate anything during these two days.

He lowered his head and glanced, there was a blood hole bitten out by something unknown on his stomach, he saw that the blood had turned black and solidified, and the fluff on his abdomen was smeared into a ball.

The annoying flies followed him persistently. Wherever he moved, the flies followed him. There was a tuft of black mane on his long and powerful tail, and he shook them from time to time to drive them away, but with little effect.

When he woke up two days ago, his stomach was still hurting, but now it was numb, but he was so hungry that he subconsciously licked his huge paws, yawned with his mouth wide open, and stared lazily at the water source.

"Hehehehe..." The strange and strange cry of the hyena sounded behind him. In the past two days, he has never been used to the sound as a lullaby. The hyena on the grassland is also called "scavenger". It was staring at him, and followed him for two full days.

Qiao Yi knew that the hyena wanted to eat his body after he was dead. After all, a five or six-year-old adult male lion was huge and a top predator. A hyena has eight guts. It is estimated that this thing would not dare to follow behind an adult male lion.

The rhino next to the small water pool drank the water and then walked away. Qiao Yi immediately raised his wide and round head, his golden pupils were full of hunger, and he dragged his heavy injured body , After looking around vigilantly, he walked towards the river, lowered his head to drink water.

He tried to find fish in the water before, but let alone a fish, he didn't even see a fish scale.

The rough tongue rolled water into his mouth, and a few drops of water splashed into his eyes. After he subconsciously blinked a few times, his ears trembled slightly, and the mighty golden lion's mane was twisted together after being soaked in water, and a little knotted.

After drinking enough water, he stretched out his tongue and licked the dust on his face, washed his face before propping himself up and walking into the den.

The hyenas who followed him also gathered beside him to drink water in twos and threes. These brown furs had no spots on their bodies, and they barked strangely from time to time.

"It doesn't matter how full you are if you drink water. You still have to eat." Although Qiao Yi realized this, he was just a novice lion with a huge body and sharp claws, but he didn't know hunting skills. Sooner or later, he would starve to death. After eating a few mouthfuls of withered grass, he finally fixed his eyes on a wild deer.

This wild deer seems to be alone, grazing leisurely by the bushes, looking up from time to time and looking around, it seems that it will run away immediately if there is a little wind and grass.

As a former zookeeper, Qiao Yi knew the habits of animals very well. He couldn't help lowering his heavy body, raised the soles of his feet slightly, and crawled forward quietly, approaching the wild deer little by little. When he was in the position, Qiao Yi jumped out of the grass and rushed towards the wild deer with lightning speed, but his paws did not hold it down as he imagined. Instead, he hit the ground head first, and a solid With a face brake, the huge body turned over directly, smashing up the loess on the ground.

For a while, the dust was flying and the weeds were uprooted.

"I...fuck..." Qiao Yi was completely annoyed. He turned over and rushed towards the frightened wild deer that ran into the wild grass. The lion's hooves stepped on the ground vigorously, following the force of the charge. , Trying to take down the wild deer before it ran into the herd of bison, but his injured body was too hungry, he could only watch the deer jump into the herd of bison and stop urgently.

The herd of bison attracted by the noise looked at this side. It was black and dense, with two terrifying horns on their heads. Among them, the irritable bison had already begun to kick the ground impatiently.

Qiao Yi could only look unwillingly at the escaped wild deer, and then stepped back step by step. The wound on his abdomen was pulled because of this big movement, and the place where the blood had been coagulated began to bleed again, and the dense pain came from When the injury came, he could only flick his whip-like tail aggrievedly, limped back to his temporary nest, and licked the injured place with his rough tongue.

In the evening, he smelled a trace of blood, dizzy with hunger, swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, raised his head and glanced around, and finally fixed his eyes on a water pool not far away, a vulture was lying on it and eating something, Qiao Yi realized It is estimated that some carnivores left the residue after eating their prey.

He stood up and dragged his injured body, and walked towards the place where the food was left with his head down. Seeing him coming, the vulture immediately spread its wings and flew to the nearby stone. Qiao Yi lowered his head and sniffed the corpse of the prey. It was a zebra. But the internal organs and the meat inside were basically eaten away, leaving only a little bit of minced meat in the hard-to-gnaw skin.

Qiao Yi lowered his head and took a few bites. The taste was really not delicious, and the stench hit his forehead, but he had to use his canine teeth to tear the flesh quickly, and then swallowed it whole.

The lion's chewing ability is poor, and it is a bit slow to eat flesh. Qiao Yi glanced at the hyena hiding in the dark and the vulture who was not reconciled to being robbed of his food, and immediately accelerated his eating speed.

"Mute—" the vulture's sharp cry exploded in Qiao Yi's ears, and an unwilling vulture boldly jumped down, trying to snatch a piece from Qiao Yi's mouth. Furious, he immediately gave up the piece of meat and flew away.

Seeing this, the hyenas hiding in the bushes backed up a few steps. Two or three of them got together and barked strangely, but none of them dared to move forward.

This not-so-delicious meal did not make the injured big cat feel better. Qiao Yi licked the food left on his face, swept his tail at the flies around him, then turned his head to look at the water source, hesitating After a while, he went in another direction.

The dry season in the grassland is coming, and it is impossible for them to survive the dry season in this small pool. Qiao Yi began to worry about where he should go for his next meal.

Although he has become a male lion, although he understands the way animals hunt, theory and practice are two different things. At least the shameful face of a lion can prove everything. He has to find a way to learn how to hunt so that he will not let himself starve to death here. On a grassland that no one knows.

After two days, he finally realized that he couldn't even see a ghost here.

The grassland at night is the quietest moment, both predators and herbivores begin to rest, but there are also guys who are unwilling to be lonely in the night.

There seemed to be more and more hyenas behind him. Qiao Yi turned his head and looked at it. Five pairs of eyes were shining in the dark night. He shook his huge head, and the golden lion's mane gradually lost its luster in the night. Fortunately, he He found a huge weathered stone, took a short rest behind him, licked his abdominal wound lightly, then started licking his paws again, and lay down on the ground after eating a mouthful of dust.

Even when he closed his eyes for a short rest, his ears were pricked up, and even a little wind and grass could wake him up.

The stars move, the sun rises and the moon sets.

When Qiao Yi woke up again, he was awakened by the movement of other animals passing by. He was on a slightly higher ground, lying on a rock and looking down, he saw a herd of zebras running past his eyes. This busy look does not seem like a normal group movement behavior.

Sure enough, after a while, he saw a cheetah chasing after them.

He lay on the stone and witnessed the whole process of the cheetah chasing the prey. The cheetah tore the skin and flesh of the prey. When he was about to eat, Qiao Yi also got off the stone. He waited for the cheetah to finish eating, as a "picky eater" animal Cheetahs generally leave a lot of prey residue.

But what he didn't expect was that in order not to attract the attention of the cheetah, he deliberately picked a place far away, but he was still spotted by the alert cheetah. After the other party cautiously looked this way, he lowered his body and stood between him and the food. He glanced back and forth, hesitated for a moment, then turned his head and left unwillingly.

Although they are also the top predators on the grassland, cheetahs are far more afraid of lions than they are their expectations for food.

For Qiao Yi, this meal was simply a gift from heaven. He waited cautiously for the cheetah to go far away, and then began to bury his head in eating this delicious meal. Tear it apart, chew and swallow in large chunks.

Fresh meat is by no means comparable to the rotten things before. It was only at this moment that Qiao Yi lifted his spirits, but he also felt a little sad in his heart. He had to admit that he had begun to accept the nature of the beast, but he had no choice.

Seeing this, the hyena behind him was also ready to move, and tentatively stepped forward. Seeing that Qiao Yi hadn't moved, he took the courage to go around to the other side of the prey and start gnawing, making strange noises from time to time. Qiao Yi and them had nothing to do with each other.

After Qiao Yi finished eating, he started licking his paws as usual, shaking his head, his golden lion's mane swayed slightly, at this moment, he felt that something was approaching behind him, and when he turned his head, he found a hyena circled around at some point When he got behind him and was gradually approaching, Qiao Yi suddenly realized the purpose of this thing, and he suddenly had the strength to pounce on it when he was full.

The hyena ran away in shock, and the other hyenas watched the scene indifferently, and lowered their heads to eat their own piece of meat.

Qiao Yi raised his head and glanced into the distance. Where the horizon rose, animals gathered in groups were grazing leisurely, and predators were hiding in the dark. No one paid attention to the episode that was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary.
