Go down the stream.
Along the way, we saw various animals.
The animals here seem to be much stronger than the animals on the grassland.
There is no harsh environment here on the grassland.
Both herbivores and carnivores are extremely strong.
And their fighting power is much stronger than the animals on the grassland.
Having a favorable environment does not mean that life is worry-free.
Because the scope of the territory has become smaller, they have become more densely packed together, so their competition will become more intense, and those who remain will become stronger.
On the other side of the mountain, when food is abundant during the rainy season, each animal's territory will also shrink.
In this way, you can eat food without wasting too much time and energy to protect more territory.
Because every time you gain more territory, you will face more challenges and dangers.
And many challenges may involve life-threatening consequences.
Being able to have a full stomach and being able to survive is the most important thing.
The stream ran through the forest, extended to the foot of the mountain, and flowed into a colorful lake.
The water in the lake flows from a stream to the Bar River that crosses the grassland. The river water flows westward and merges into the distant ocean.
Due to the frequent rainfall, the water in rivers and lakes remains full all year round.
There are many puddles and swamps scattered in every corner of the grassland, which have nurtured generations of grassland animals.
When Chu Xiaoye led the team out of the forest, they happened to arrive in front of the lake.
The fiery red sunset falls on the clear lake water, and the water surface ruffled by the breeze is sparkling, as beautiful and attractive as orange soda.
Chu Xiaoye decided to rest here for the night.
After traveling over mountains and ridges, I haven’t eaten for several days.
Gotta catch some prey tonight.
He growled at the Chino brothers and told them to solve the food problem themselves.
In this team, Duoya is the only one who cannot hunt by himself, so the prey he captures will only be shared with this little lioness.
Moreover, her appetite is very small, so there is no need to trouble him to catch one more.
But the Chino brothers are different.
They are all tall and strong adult lions. After exercising and eating all the way, they are no longer as skinny as before, and have already regained the momentum and strength of the lions.
Their appetite is astonishing and they must hunt their own food, otherwise they will starve to death.
As for the baby elephant, there is food everywhere, so he doesn't need to worry.
The jackal couple, without his instructions, quietly drove away and went to look for prey in the bushes not far away.
They are small in size and have a small appetite. One hare is enough.
The Kino brothers were a little embarrassed, but they had to bite the bullet and follow the Jackal couple to the bushes over there.
Their manes are too lush and difficult to hunt on the grassland, so they can only lurk in the bushes and try their luck.
Chu Xiaoye thought for a while and decided to go to the grassland to have a look.
The grasslands here are green and lush, naturally hosting groups of herbivores.
He has no claws, but he has speed, sharp teeth, and great strength, so he can hunt no matter where he is.
"Moo-moo-"
A herd of buffalo appeared on the grassland ahead.
However, those buffaloes are extremely strong and are not left alone. A lion cannot go up and kill them.
Although buffalo sometimes see their companions being caught and refuse to save them, most of them will rescue their companions under the leadership of the first cow.
Unless they are some old, weak, sick or disabled people.
They are extremely disgusted with lions. Whenever they see a lion, they will drive them away in groups relying on their size and strength.
When encountering lion cubs, they will kill them without mercy.
Therefore, they and lions can be regarded as old enemies on the grassland.
Chu Xiaoye followed the dense grass to a place a hundred meters away and looked at them with burning eyes.
If there was a baby buffalo, or one with limited mobility, he wouldn't mind trying his hand at it.
Good luck.
Soon, he spotted a buffalo with an injured hind leg.
It was an old buffalo that had obviously been hunted by other hunters before. It had a scar on its hind legs, perhaps because of the serious injury or infection. It was walking with a limp. Very inconvenient.
It wanted to eat grass among the cattle, but the other buffaloes obviously disliked it and refused to let it occupy the middle position.
Only pregnant cows and calves can occupy good positions.
It must be outside, eating grass and keeping watch at the same time, and continue to exert its value.
Otherwise, the cattle will drive it away.
Because it has difficulty moving, it will attract more predators, putting the entire group in danger.
Respecting the old and loving the young is not a virtue in the animal kingdom.
Chu Xiaoye lowered his body and began to move forward, staring intently at the injured buffalo.
He really wanted to test his strength on this still strong buffalo.
When he got closer to fifty meters through the cover of the grass, the buffalo raised its head and looked this way.
Chu Xiaoye immediately lay down and hid in the grass.
After a while, he raised his head and looked intently.
The buffalo didn't seem to notice anything and was still eating the grass with its head down.
Chu Xiaoye stood up and prepared to continue approaching.
However, at this moment, he suddenly smelled a special smell and a dangerous breath from the cool evening breeze.
He turned around and saw a strong adult lioness crouching in the thick grass more than two meters to his right.
The adult lioness was turning her head and looking at him with cold eyes.
Chu Xiaoye was startled and looked further away. Not far from the adult lioness, two more lionesses appeared.
Immediately, he turned his head and looked to the left.
Four or five meters away, an adult lioness was approaching the injured buffalo with a low body.
Further away, several adult lionesses also started to move.
They had already set up an ambush and had taken a fancy to the injured buffalo. When they were about to take action, Chu Xiaoye, a young lion cub, broke in.
This made the leading lioness a little confused.
This territory belongs to them!
Moreover, does this little lion want to capture the buffalo alone
Normally, they would have begun to attack and bite.
But at this time, food is still important.
They had to capture the buffalo first, and then deal with this little male lion who had invaded the territory and overestimated his capabilities!
"Uh-"
The lioness next to Chu Xiaoye ignored him and immediately rushed out like a sharp arrow!
The lionesses in other directions also got up to cooperate and began to chase and intercept!
Chu Xiaoye was stunned for a while, hesitating in his mind whether to step forward and get a share of the pie, or turn away and hunt elsewhere.
However, elsewhere is probably their territory.
He didn't want to go too far.
Moreover, isn’t it the nature of male lions to snatch food from lionesses
