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

The African wilderness of sparse trees and tall grass is in the dry season, and yellow sand blows against your face when a gust of wind blows.

Suddenly, the photographer caught something with his camera lens. He stopped for a moment and then waved his hand to the people behind him to signal them to be silent.

A mother leopard and her cubs are slowly walking towards the road following the migration of herbivores.

Leopards are the most evolved creatures on the grassland.

Her eyes are sharp, her figure is smooth, and her petal-shaped spots resemble black holes in the universe.

Their survival situation is not optimistic. Hunting is difficult during the dry season. The mother who is raising three cubs is not strong. She has not hunted food for a week and her stomach is empty. The leopard cubs also look a little weak.

The one that fell at the end was the thinnest, unsteady on its hind legs and staggering when walking.

The person on the off-road vehicle held the camera and held his breath, watching the other person crossing the sandy road, letting the withered and yellow weeds disappear.

Photographer Andrew sincerely admired the unique beauty of this creature and immediately asked to drive up to see where this leopard mother and three cubs would go.

After a few days of filming, Andrew lost track of the leopard mother who was looking for a new territory. When they found each other again, the female cub named Thea was no longer with her mother.

Right now is the mighty Great Migration on the grasslands, and herbivores are rushing to the north in pursuit of water sources.

Wild beasts also have to follow in the footsteps of their prey to reorganize their territory, and the leopard family is one of them.

Human beings speculate that the weakest leopard cub has become the ghost of other beasts on the grassland, or that the leopard mother was unable to provide sufficient milk and food for the cub and voluntarily gave up on her little daughter who had the least hope of feeding her cub.

After searching several times but unable to find any trace of the little leopard, Andrew silently made a cross on his chest.

It was thought that the only female cub would have a chance to inherit the mother's territory and become the leopard queen as good as the other, but she died early before she could survive the dry season.

The remaining two leopard brothers followed their mother closely. The leopard mother walked northward step by step, walking very firmly. The top priority was to find new water sources. Where there are water sources, there is no shortage of prey.

Soon she will forget that she once had a poor cub and devote herself to a new round of hunting and feeding.

The first thing that woke Shi Qiao up from her slumber was her sense of smell. She smelled a primitive breath.

The smell of hay mixed with animal dung is refreshing and intoxicating.

The smell was so close that she struggled to get up from a pile of shrubs and weeds.

Huge dizziness hit her head. The little leopard cub staggered and almost stepped on the pile of excrement.

The feeling of having four paws on the ground was too wonderful. Looking at her spotted back and tail, Shi Qiao couldn't calm down for a long time.

The little leopard opened her mouth tentatively, and then heard a milky voice: "Áo, áo wū."

The hair on Shi Qiao's tail exploded, with a look of horror on her face.

Can anyone tell her why she accidentally turned into a leopard when she fell asleep during the water animal forum?

Judging from the body shape and cry, this leopard's body has not yet reached the four-month weaning period, which means that she has become a weak cub.

Still helpless and dependent on life and death.

Not long ago, wildebeests and zebras passed by here one after another, and the dry grass was trampled until she could stand up straight. Fortunately, she fell into the few dense bushes, and her blind spot avoided other animals that would harm the leopard cub.

Unfortunately, she was left behind by her mother.

The body of this little leopard who had not yet been weaned was not sure whether it was tired or hungry. After standing for a short while, Shi Qiao felt that her limbs were shaking, the soles of her feet were worn out, it hurt when she moved, and there was a loud cry from her abdomen.

There wasn't even a tree that could serve as a shelter. Beasts that could round her up and flatten her would appear anytime and anywhere. A cub with no fighting ability couldn't stay in the bushes for long.

Shi Qiao opened her mouth wide and chewed a few hays into her stomach. She barely suppressed her intense hunger and limped towards the place where there were trees.

There were two or three acacia trees a few hundred meters away, and the tree holes below were just big enough to get into. Shi Qiao glanced up and saw that the branch closest to the ground was too high for her to climb now.

The tired and dizzy little cub's front paws were limp, and it was already difficult for her to walk so far.

Even if it is a ferocious beast, a cub separated from its mother cannot protect itself. Shi Qiao got into the tree hole and lay down, her breath becoming weaker and weaker.

She was hiding in a tree hole and looking at this endless grassland. Every bush seemed to have animals jumping out to crush her. She could hear the footsteps of ungulates in her ears. Any wildebeest could crush her.

Shi Qiao felt that she had two paths in front of her. One was to survive for a few days and then starve to death. 

The second is that she can't even breathe for a few days, and something unexpected happens the next second.

There are dead ends on both sides, and the chance of survival is slim.

It can be said that there is no way out.

During the day, herbivores are on their way, and at night comes the special night hunting of wild beasts. The seemingly peaceful grassland is full of dangers, and Shi Qiao's hearing, which is sharper than humans, prevents Shi Qiao from letting down her guard and sleeping to death.

After becoming a wild animal, the desire to survive has reached an unprecedented height. Anyway, the worst is to escape death, so she has to struggle.

Listening to the roar of a lion coming from an unknown direction, Shi Qiao tried her best to squeeze into the tree hole, hoping that the narrow hole could help her cover her body smell.

Maybe the cub didn't have a very strong smell, or maybe the other party found its hunting target. The roaring lion didn't get closer and drifted away.

Before Shi Qiao could breathe a sigh of relief, another baboon's cry came from the tree in the distance.

Many thorns are growing on the acacia tree, which is a tree that baboons don't like to be around, but there is no guarantee that they will not come. Baboons dare not approach adult leopards, but they can easily grab the cub by its leg and throw it to the ground to death.

She has also seen cubs being treated more cruelly, and the strange things she saw on wildlife forums have become psychological torture.

Before she came to the real grassland, she even boasted that if she had the chance to be reincarnated into a territorial and powerful beast like a lion or a leopard, she would definitely dominate and become a famous animal figure in the forum.

Looking back now.

There is a miracle between a cub wandering on the edge of life and death and becoming a big boss.

However, in the cruel nature, miracles do not often happen.

Her ears were filled with rustling sounds from time to time. Shi Qiao opened her eyes and silently prayed in her heart that the sky would light up soon, although there was no guarantee that the day would be safer than the night.

After finally making it to daybreak, she finally let go of half of her worries that night. Usually, the first night is the most difficult, but the chance of survival gained by playing hide-and-seek still gave Shi Qiao a glimmer of hope.

She exposed her head and quickly ran to a hidden place to munch on the grass.

Leopards have very diverse food habits, and they will not starve to death in a short period. They can eat anything that flies in the sky, swims in water, or runs on the ground. Even if it is not meat, they can stuff it into their mouths as long as they don't die.

Shi Qiao took a hard bite of the bitter and chewy hay, and the sharp saw-toothed blades mixed with it scratched her mouth.

Not only did her mouth hurt, but there were wounds on her paw pads. Her head was groggy without a good rest, and stomach acid was rising in her stomach, which she relied on to satisfy her hunger. It made the leopard want to vomit.

The little cub cried physiological tears in pain while chewing grass, and did not forget to comfort herself.

Maybe.

Maybe it's just like this.

Judging from the situation that night, she was pretty lucky. A leopard has survived in this unfamiliar territory for almost twenty-four hours. On the first day, the most dangerous and most prone to unexpected situations, she came through without any danger. The road ahead doesn't seem to be that difficult.

Shit!

Shi Qiao looked up at the baboon staring at her with big eyes and small eyes not far away, and the saliva it swallowed made a "gurgling" sound in its throat.

The baboon had been observing her silently for an unknown amount of time. It crept closer to less than five meters away from her without making any movement. It kept its eyes on her and couldn't stop watching her.

Baboons on the grassland are all diurnal animals, and this species is quite aggressive, keen on fighting and bullying the weak.

Sure enough, it's still not too early to be happy!

Just as Shi Qiao was about to run towards the hole in the acacia tree, she thought that the hole was not very deep and a creature like a baboon could pull her out with just a tug of its arm, so she ran in the opposite direction.

Perhaps the desire to live was too strong. The leopard cub burst out of the small universe and ran at the highest speed since birth, surpassing 95% of cubs of the same age.

The bad-tempered green baboon behind her screamed excitedly, apparently treating this chase as a game.

Shi Qiao clamped her tail and ran as far as possible toward a place without trees. The denser the trees, the more flexible the baboon's movements were. It hung on the branches and could easily catch up with him in a few moments.

The cub's small body is easily swamped by the tall grass, and the other party is risking its life to escape. As time goes by, the impatient baboon begins to become angry.

It shouted twice behind her, and the other baboons also rushed out after hearing the news. They came in a hurry and prepared to kill the leopard in the cradle that would climb the tree and harass her in the future.

A baboon that was not yet an adult could escape with great difficulty, but it would be very difficult for a small group of evil baboons that came from all directions to outflank her.

Shi Qiao was forced to turn several corners and run to a tree, right into the baboon's arms.

This creature showed great wisdom in causing mischief. The green baboon that first started chasing her jumped into the tree, and in the blink of an eye, it took a shortcut from the treetop to block her.

Shi Qiao had no choice but to retreat and bared her canine teeth at the opponent, which had no deterrent effect.

She took two steps back and rushed forward with all her strength, trying to give him a bite before she died.

Not being able to die together would at least make life difficult for this annoying green baboon. The miracle of surviving smoothly could not wait. The scars on the other person's body were proof that she had been to the prairie.

With this thought in mind, the leopard cub, which didn't look as long as a baboon's tail, looked at death and charged up a blow.

She still overestimated her fighting ability, and before she could take off, the baboon grabbed her hind legs and threw her away.

The body and the sand made a tooth-piercing friction sound. The little leopard fell heavily to the ground, and his eyes went black.

Shi Qiao wanted to get up again and punch the opponent.

Damn primates, how can they bully cubs?

If she has the ability, wait until she grows into an adult leopard and then fight again. Then, she can beat the faces of these green baboons until they are all colorful. Unfortunately, she won't have this chance.

Her vision became increasingly blurry, and Shi Qiao felt that her consciousness was drifting away. The last second she saw was the green baboon's ugly face showing off its power, and then she fainted completely.

When she woke up again, she didn't go back to her computer desk. She was still lying on the grassland on a new night, with hay and sand under me.

Shi Qiao was surprised that she could survive as a leopard cub, and was very disappointed at the same time.

If she doesn't die and go back, how can she tell others about her heroic deeds of transforming into a leopard and fighting a baboon?

Although she was the one who was beaten unilaterally.

When consciousness returned, she could feel the pain more clearly. There was pain in her whole body. The little leopard curled up into a ball, and every breath caused pain in its ribs, especially its head and hind legs.

She didn't know why those baboons were so merciful, but when her head finally stopped feeling so dizzy, she realized something was wrong.

There were a few new trees nearby, not a place where baboons would chase them during the day.

Could it be that those baboons moved her over and then let her go because of their conscience?

Not understanding the brain circuits of wild animals, Shi Qiao tried to straighten her hind legs. It was so painful that she couldn't help but take a deep breath, and she didn't even have time to take a full breath.

The next second, her nose moved, and then the leopard's body shook.

The sixth sense of animals is extremely sensitive. Even a cub can feel the strong aura of the approaching beast. It does not hide it and clearly shows the other party's domineering power.

Unable to run, Shi Qiao simply closed her eyes and pretended to be dead.

After waiting for a long time, nothing happened, but the pressure did not weaken. Instead, it got closer and closer to her.

A certain cub still couldn't help but open her eyes a little, looking at the person coming with a concealed look, and happened to see a pair of amber-gold beast pupils.

After two days in the grassland, she finally saw another leopard beside herself.

Even in the dark, the sharp and stern gaze cannot be concealed. In the dry season when food is scarce, it is difficult for weak prey to escape once it is targeted.

This also included her, a little loser with very little blood left.
