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

Shi Qiao was alert the first time she saw the leopard. The leopard looked like an adult leopard. The male and female were not visible due to the tree canopy.

She quickly reminded Klein, who was still eating: "There is a leopard behind, let's go."

Leopard?

He had already shocked other similar people around him and gained a lot of territory. After migrating, he became famous for his ability to fight with male lions.

During this period, some ignorant similar people wanted to fish in the troubled waters right under his nose, but Klein beat them back.

As a result, Shi Qiao, who spent most of her time on that tree, had never seen anyone of her kind except the boss.

The little leopard was thinking about learning to hunt as soon as possible. She never thought about why she had not seen any leopards for so long. On the contrary, she saw more of the cheetahs, which were not threatening, and the lions who recognized the reality and were forced to live in peace with the leopards. In fact, they had already learned their lessons in places where she could not see them.

After the rainy season arrives, most animals begin to return to their former southern homes.

Herbivores do not migrate along the same route every year for fear that the plants along the way will no longer grow, so the routes are different. Predators follow the food and inevitably move away from their current residence.

In the process of moving, it is easy to overlap with the territory of other animals, and it is easier to meet the same kind.

Just like now, they have left the beech forest where they have always lived during the dry season. Although they hadn't gone far yet, they were still within the territory marked by the male leopard, and the strong leopard's intimidation could not stop other leopards who were eager to try to break in.

He doesn't know what they have in mind. Either they are just trying to steal prey, or they are equally strong and have nothing to fear.

He has never met such an arrogant opponent of the same kind.

When Shi Qiao was about to drag the cheetah, which was still immersed in the prey, away from here, she saw Klein turning around to search for the other leopard.

The moment he saw the opponent's figure clearly, the male leopard's eyes sharpened for a moment, and he gave up the idea of leaving the prey behind, and instead stood still where he was.

Shi Qiao slapped the cheetah, but she didn't expect that the boss around her had no intention of leaving. She couldn't help but wonder, is the boss going to fight like that pack of hyenas again?

It's not that he can't beat him, but there's no need to fight at all.

There are few leopards in this area, and there are abundant prey resources in the rainy season. There is no need to fight to the death for a little food.

Shi Qiao was still wondering when the leopard standing on the tree had jumped down from above. The leopard must have been hungry and did not want to hunt hard. After getting down to the ground, it came closer to their position.

Only then did the little leopard see the gender of the other party.

It was an adult male. There were no traces of fighting on his body, so he was probably not very old.

After comparing the size of this male leopard with Klein, Shi Qiao was no longer worried. It didn't look like he could beat the big guy.

The leopard walked to a distance of more than ten meters from them, stopped, found a nearby tree again, climbed up, squatting on the tree, not planning to rush forward rashly, preparing to eat the remaining remains after they left.

Shi Qiao had seen many lions that liked team fights and were fierce. This was the first time she saw such a self-aware leopard. It seemed that he knew he couldn't beat him and didn't want to confront Klein head-on.

The other party was so cautious, even timid, but Klein pressed forward step by step, shortening the distance.

The little leopard yelled at the big brother: "Big brother, let's go, he doesn't want to fight with you."

Besides, the winner can already be determined by just looking at the aura.

When Shi Qiao saw that she couldn't persuade Klein, who was determined to go, she simply followed him. No matter how weak her fighting ability was, she could at least get his head together. She hoped that the other party would understand and leave quickly.

The leopards confronted each other. The cheetah ate until its belly was full and ran away after it was full.

Cheetahs don't like to participate in this hunting and killing.

Shi Qiao originally felt the same way. It would be better to not fight until she followed Klein to the tree where the other party was squatting. The boss was obviously hostile to the leopard in the tree, and he didn't intend to just leave and let the other party pick it up. His low roars were like the roar of thunder before the rain.

This distance made the leopard on the tree unable to sit still. He stood up and stepped back. He scanned around and was ready to find a foothold at any time. He didn't know whether it was to escape or to fight.

Just when Shi Qiao thought the battle was about to start, another adult female leopard appeared from the right.

The body is slightly thin and the stomach is flat. Judging from the new pattern and coat color, it should be over five years old.

As soon as she appeared, she saw a confrontation between the two sides. The female leopard raised her head and called out to the young male in the tree.

Shi Qiao was a little confused about the situation.

It seemed that these two strange leopards knew each other and were in a group.

She was confused and could only follow Klein to see how he would move. The small leopard's eyes were not enough, so her eyes wandered back and forth between the two leopards and the big brother opposite.

The female leopard looked at Klein quietly for a few seconds, her nose twitching as if trying to distinguish the scent.

Klein became impatient and swung his claws on the tree trunk, causing the bark to fall. The male leopard on the tree was startled, thinking that the other leopard was going to come up and beat him, so he jumped down from the other end and hid behind the female leopard.

At this time, the female leopard called out, her voice not as clear as the young leopard's: "Long time no see, Klein."

Shi Qiao was dumbfounded, and her brain, which was barely functioning just now, completely shut down.

What's the situation?

She had a richer imagination than animals, and she instantly imagined the polyamorous plot of an ex-boyfriend, ex-girlfriend, and an ex-girlfriend's current pretty boyfriend. It was a bit embarrassing, like a little follower who was forced to know something private that she shouldn't know.

"Tell Corel to come here," Klein said in a bad tone, "If you want food, come here and have a fight first."

The other party did not step aside. He glanced at the male leopard behind him and disagreed with this statement.

"He is your brother."

Klein looked disdainfully at the leopard who was hiding behind his mother and did not dare to show his head. He turned around and returned to the prey: "You are wrong. I don't have such a useless brother."

? ? ?

Just a few words of dialogue almost stopped Shi Qiao from turning around.

She racked her brains and finally understood the relationship between Klein and the two leopards. It turned out that they were not some stupid thing at eight o'clock in the night, but their mother and little brother reunited after a long separation.

The little leopard breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no need for a family of leopards to be so stiff. They are full anyway, so they might as well give it away generously!

Just as she was thinking about helping the boss drag the prey to the two leopards on the opposite side, the other party picked up the remaining gazelle first, dragged the prey up to the acacia tree next to it, and then called the little leopards to come up and continue eating.

Disturbed by two exotic leopards, the little leopard didn't have a good meal at all.

Shi Qiao glanced at the two hungry leopards behind her and hesitated for a moment.

The male leopard shook his tail at her: "Thea, come here."

Shi Qiao decided to be a conscientious little follower, doing whatever the big boss said, and followed him up the tree to eat.

She looked at the other person while eating, and if she looked carefully, his face still looked a bit like the older female leopard, but the boss had a temper that treated everyone equally, even her mother and younger brother.

Animals and people have different concepts of family affection, especially loners like leopards.

Compared to Klein, the adult male leopard who still hides next to his mother for shelter is really not that cool. It's no wonder that the boss wants to fight him.

Shi Qiao understands the other person's feelings of hating the iron that cannot be transformed into steel, just like when she was a little weakling. She probably feels the same way.

The little leopard was eating gazelle meat in the tree, and the leopard underneath did not leave. The prey was so big that a sub-adult couldn't finish it. Madeleine, who wanted to fight for her youngest son, continued to wait aside.

"Who is she?" Madeleine estimated the little leopard's age and gave up the idea that she was her granddaughter.

The boss didn't intend to answer this question and said bluntly: "You don't need to know."

Shi Qiao felt the scrutinizing eyes of the foreign leopard, and then thought that the other party was the mother of the boss, and suddenly felt some invisible pressure. Any mother would be angry if she knew that her child had taken someone else's baby before he was married and had no children.

What's more, she was still eating prey that neither the other female leopard nor the other male leopard was allowed to eat.

The little leopard took a few bites of meat randomly and lied that she was full: "Let's go, let's go drink water."

It was not easy for the little follower to interfere in family affairs. Shi Qiao just wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the other party just wanted her to eat more. When the little leopard was full, he stepped down to the ground and walked towards the nearby water source without giving the two foreign leopards any look.

Shi Qiao, on the other hand, looked back while walking. As soon as Klein's front feet were far away, the male named Corel let go and climbed up on the acacia to feast on it. The female leopard also followed.

No matter how Shi Qiao looked at it, she seemed to be right.

Some leopards are like their mother's babies. They still hide behind their mothers when they reach adulthood and go out to make a living on their own. It's no wonder that Klein doesn't them. One is chewing on the old and the other is willing to be chewed. It makes the boss look like an outsider leopard.

Shi Qiao looked at the leopard next to her, and her expression became less foul after she couldn't see the two leopards. She thought about it, but couldn't help but ask: "Boss, how old were you when you left your mother?"

It took a while for the male leopard to answer: "One year old."

Shi Qiao was speechless.

One year old is still a sub-adult.

It seems that the big boss also has a rough life experience like her.

From the concise description of the dialect, the little leopard gradually pieced together a complete past.

It turns out that another wandering male leopard invaded the territory when the other party was not yet an adult. The female leopard was forced into estrus and gave birth to a half-male male, who is now the little brother.

Klein began a semi-free life while protecting himself from being directly killed by his cruel stepfather.

His biological mother, his younger brother, and the stray male leopard formed a new family. The territory changed hands and was in the hands of the male leopard. Naturally, he could not tolerate the little leopard who was not related to him by blood.

Shi Qiao's fists became hardened after hearing this.

They are all born from the same mother, so why can some little losers be able to eat them until they grow old? The big boss has to leave his territory early to fend for himself!

Fortunately, leopards are animals with weak family ties. Unlike lions, there is no concept of old-age care or mutual support among brothers and sisters.

If she were Klein, she would want to beat him up if she saw his carefree little brother barging in for a meal in her own territory.

The other party just mentioned it casually, but Shi Qiao could deeply understand the difficulty of surviving as a leopard outside. In the cruel world of the grassland, even ferocious beasts are always in danger when they are minors.

What's more, the other party is not as lucky as herself to be picked up and raised.

The boss really relies on himself to survive to this day.

Thinking of this, the little leopard felt very uncomfortable. She didn't know how to comfort the other person, so she could only silently go over and rub her head with the other person.

A certain male leopard paused for a moment. Although the little leopard didn't say anything, he still felt the warmth of the breeze in his heart.

Living in this vast wilderness, even if you have your own territory, you will not have a stable life forever. Without such a life, would animals have the concept of home?

Klein didn't.

But it did not prevent him from understanding something deeper at this moment.

So what if they were related by blood? He didn't feel any trouble when he saw his mother who he once thought could shelter him. On the contrary, the small thing he picked up around him could bring him comfort that he had never felt before.

They have established a stronger relationship from two strangers. No matter whether they have the same blood in their bones, they will still care for and love each other.

A problem that animals would never think about suddenly became clear at this moment. Bloodline is just an auxiliary, and everything depends on more important reasons.

What is the reason? Klein looked at the little leopard who had been paying attention to his every move. He thought he understood a little bit.

The rain nourishes the land, and there are many large and small puddles on the grassland. Some animals move to the south at this time.

Shi Qiao and Klein also left the stronghold they had inhabited throughout the dry season and slowly walked south following a group of impalas.

Only then did the little leopard have the opportunity to appreciate the scenery around their territory in a down-to-earth manner. The last time she migrated, she was a lame and disabled leopard. This time, she was healthy and well-fed, and could run wherever she wanted.

The so-called migration means returning to a familiar place.

Since the last time they saw two foreign leopards, Klein took the little leopard and left the north first. Shi Qiao always felt that they were not left behind, but also set off south from the place where they met, falling far behind her and the boss.

Although she knew that the traveling route might be the same, Shi Qiao still didn't want to be followed.

She simply ran like an impala, turning back as she ran, signaling the boss to come and compete with her.

This kind of competition has been held from time to time since her legs healed up, but there is a huge disparity in strength and every time she loses miserably.

Even if Shi Qiao deliberately cheated and got away, she still couldn't outrun Klein, and now was no exception. The opponent was more than ten meters behind her, but he could still catch up with her easily and effortlessly.

The key is that when the opponent catches up, he doesn't immediately overtake her and end the game. Instead, he stays behind her tail and stretches out his paws from time to time. The relaxed and leisurely look makes the little leopard's desire to win rise.

It's just too much bullying!

Shi Qiao took a deep breath and sped up: "Whoever runs under the sawtooth tree first wins."

She was on the left, the boss was on the right, the sawtooth tree was closer to her, and the little leopard made a little trick for victory.

Feeling that his tail was getting farther and farther away from the other party, Shi Qiao felt that there was still hope for this, and her legs were so upside down that they were almost doubled. She stepped heavily through a small puddle where a puddle of water had gathered, and splashes of mud splashed on her legs.

She reached the key point less than fifty meters away, but the other party still kept a distance from her. Shi Qiao turned around and looked at her, and started to feel depressed again.

Isn't the boss going to let her win for once?

This is not like the other party's usual style.

You know, some big leopards have no habit of being kind to the little leopards. Every time, she could feel the huge gap in level, and he had forcibly raised a little Buddhist cub into the sub-adult who was working so hard now.

Shi Qiao looked back frequently, not believing that Klein would give in to her like this.

This accidentally affected her sprint, and her pace which was still accelerating inevitably slowed down. Unexpectedly, the other party saw the right time, and the muscles of his hind legs began to exert strength. In the last twenty meters, he overtook her and arrived under the sawtooth tree first.

Shi Qiao: "..."

Scheming, really too scheming.

Shi Qiao didn't want to admit that the other party was so far behind and could easily catch up with her. She could only comfort herself that a certain male leopard was better because of its long legs and cleverness.

You have to give a sweet date for every hit. Klein licked the opponent's head and said, "Good run."

It's just a bit tender.

Shi Qiao snorted and shook her head. The praise was so perfunctory!

Not happy about losing the game, the little leopard climbed up the sawtooth tree, found a branch, and lay down on it. She was tired and didn't want to continue on her way.

As the cub grows up, she will occasionally have a little temper. It can also be attributed to the fact that she is becoming less and less afraid of his anger. A certain dad feels that it is not good to lose his majesty, but he can't think of any way to scare the other person, so he can only swish his tail and follow her up the tree.

If Shi Qiao knew what the other person was thinking, she would definitely say it.

There was no majesty to begin with.

Except for the few days when she was first picked up by the other party, she had been worried, fearing that the other party would eat her as a reserve food snack, or be thrown out casually. Later, she knew that the other party would not throw her away, so she was not afraid at all.

But as the days went by, the fear turned into worry, especially after seeing the leopard mother and her son.

Thinking of the disgusted look in the boss's eyes when he saw his old loser brother, Shi Qiao began to worry all day long that that look would eventually be directed at her. Thinking about it, she felt more uncomfortable than just kicking her out and being independent on her own.

Shi Qiao looked at her figure, which was far beyond that of a cub, and mentally calculated how long it would take her to reach adulthood.

There is still more than half a year left before she reaches adulthood. Little leopard secretly breathed a sigh of relief, which means that she can still shamelessly be a follower for more than half a year. She will talk about independence later.

Moreover, she is now learning to help Klein hunt. In any case, she is not just "cheating on the old", she is still a useful little follower.

Her goal at the beginning was to be more useful than Cudi, at least not to be so ashamed of eating soft food, but gradually it turned into how to continue living in the same territory with him as an adult.

This feeling is that the scale is inseparable, and she doesn't want to be separated from the other person.
