The lion goes wandering

Chapter 13 Fighting Black Rhino (1)
The fragrance of a wisp of water was sent into the nostrils of four and a half male lions along with the breeze.Just like a dying patient being injected with a booster, their drowsy heads suddenly wake up, their pale eyes light up like an electric discharge, and their limp legs are suddenly filled with strength.They shook their nostrils vigorously, and sprinted quickly in the direction of the water vapor.

The great temptation of water makes them get carried away with excitement.

I ran up a small weathered rocky mountain, turned another corner, and saw a few clumps of wormwood at the foot of the hillside. Next to a huge black rock, there was a small basin-shaped depression that held a pond of water. It was about the size of a nest of two vultures, but enough to feed the four brothers.The silver waves on the water surface are shining, and naughty little insects fly over the pond from time to time.

Water, pure water!Water, life-saving water!
The big lion roared excitedly, and took the lead to rush towards the small pond.Scarface, Peach Blossom Eyes and Red Ribbon followed closely behind, also scrambling to rush down the small rocky mountain.

Suddenly, the big lion wailed as if seeing a ghost, straightened its forelimbs, and came to an emergency brake.It saw that the huge black rock by the small pond came alive, moved slowly, rose slowly, erected an ugly black face, God, it turned out to be a black rhinoceros!
The scarred face, the peach blossom eyes and the red streamer also stopped, purring and sighing like a groan.

The rhinoceros is a giant beast evolved from a tapir. It is second only to the African elephant in size and ranks second among land animals.There are five species of rhinos in the world: Indian rhino, Javan rhino, Sumatran rhino, African white rhino and African black rhino.Staying by the small pond at the moment is the African two-horned black rhino.

The lion's first reaction when seeing the black rhino was to hope that the black rhino was a passer-by just like them, had already had enough water and would leave the small pond soon.But the four half-grown lions waited from sunset to moonrise, and the black rhino stayed quietly by the small pond, showing no intention of leaving.

No one can figure out how this black rhino came to the hinterland of the Bhatia Desert. Perhaps, it is also an unlucky guy who has suffered a lot in life, trying to cross the desert to escape reality and find a paradise. When he was about to die of thirst, Fortunately, I came across this rare water source, so I took it as my home and lived there.

Compared with lions, rhinos are less able to withstand thirst and cannot do without water.

The black rhino must have heard the unusual movement, knowing that an animal is approaching, it stared at a pair of blank eyes, tilted the two long horns on its face, and let out a roar like thunder from time to time, buzzing—— It seems to be saying, don't try to mess with this pond, this pond is my life, as long as I have a breath, no one can steal a sip of water to drink!
This stalemate is not an option. The black rhinoceros can drink water with just one mouth, and it won't be a problem if it stays for another ten and a half months. However, the four and a half male lions are thirsty to the limit, and they can't wait until dawn. I'm afraid I'll die of thirst.The big lion licked his chapped lips with a dry tongue, realizing that if he waited like this for nothing, the more he waited, the worse it would be. It seemed that he had to take action.

The big lion's first thought was to use the trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain to divert the black rhinoceros away from the small pond.Although the black rhinoceros has a huge body and a fast running speed of up to [-] kilometers per hour, its eyesight is very weak. During the day, things beyond seven meters will feel blurred. It is a famous myopia in the animal kingdom. It is night and the moonlight The eyesight is even worse.It went to harass, to provoke, to annoy this fat and ugly black guy, and to tease the black rhino to chase.As soon as the black rhino leaves the small pond, Scarface, Peach Blossom Eye and Red Streamer can take the opportunity to drink water. It only takes a few minutes for them to drink up their belly, and then one of them will replace it.

Tune the tiger away from the mountain, tune the rhinoceros away from the water?It's not a bad idea, you don't have to go to war, you don't have to bleed and fight, you can drink water, why not do it?
The big lion slid down the small rocky mountain, first observed the escape route, and then slowly approached the black rhino.Five or sixty meters away from the black rhino, the big lion roared fiercely.Aww——aww—on a quiet night, the lion's roar sounded like thunder crashing on the shore, shaking the quicksand on the small rocky mountain to flow down like a waterfall.

The black rhino remained motionless as if asleep.

Boldly, the big lion walked to a place about seven meters away from the black rhino, sharpened its teeth, and made a look of eagerness to jump.This distance is just within the reach of the black rhino's vision.The black rhino saw it, raised its head, and shook its body.This is a signal to move forward.The big lion immediately turned around and ran away, but after running away tens of meters, there seemed to be no movement behind him. Looking back, the black rhino didn't chase it at all. Instead, the black rhino took a few steps and splashed into the small pond , like a sumo wrestler crammed into a baby tub, filling a small pond to the brim.On the surface of the water, only two pointed and long rhinoceros horns were exposed, swaying towards the big lion non-stop, with a sense of irony, as if to say: Ask me to leave the pond, don't wishful thinking, I won't fuck you When.

The big lion had nothing to do, and retreated to Xiaoshi mountain angrily.

Lions dare not provoke rhinos.Although the rhinoceros is a herbivore, it has a large body and a violent personality. Even African elephants would shy away from it.The rhinoceros is extremely powerful, and the rhinoceros hide is thicker than elephant skin, a full two to three centimeters in length. When exposed to sunlight, it becomes as hard as a stone. It is the most ideal material for making armor. Even the strongest male lion cannot Bite the rhino hide in a short time.The neck of the rhinoceros is particularly strong, with thick skin and thick flesh, with vertical and horizontal folds. No matter how experienced a lion is, no matter how sharp his teeth are, he will never want to break the neck of a rhinoceros.Therefore, the lions, known as the kings of the prairie, always give way to rhinos and try to avoid conflicts.

The red streamer looked at the retreating lion with a desperate expression. He opened his mouth to roar, but he couldn't make a sound. Instead, he spit out some dry yellow sand and half a mouthful of blood. His body softened and his eyes turned black. , fainted on the hillside.It is the youngest and the weakest. When it saw the water just now, it was overexcited and exhausted, and the "desert thirst syndrome" broke out again.

The face of the big lion is very serious. It understands that there is only one way to get out of the desert alive and not be deprived of life by the "desert thirst syndrome", which is to rush down the mountain and drink the water in the small pond.Otherwise, it won't be long before it, the scarred face and the peach blossom eyes will follow in the footsteps of the red streamer and faint on the small rocky mountain.

It would be too uneconomical to die of thirst by the edge of a sparkling pond.

Either die of thirst, or fight to the death with the black rhino. They don't have a third choice. Then, muster up the courage to fight, maybe you can still fight for a chance.

The big lion is a lion that is good at using brains. It stands on the hillside and weighs each other's strength.Just now it walked to a place about seven meters away from the black rhino, and took a closer look at the black rhino: this is a male rhino about six meters in length, weighing at least four tons, a super heavyweight opponent; the edges of the maple leaf-shaped ears , the long circle of ear hair is golden yellow, so we can judge that this is a rhinoceros in the prime of life; it roars and threatens, but it can't make the other party leave the small pond, which is enough to prove that this rhinoceros has outstanding intelligence, cunning, and is not easy to deal with.

On my side, although there are four male lions in name, the red streamer has fainted due to thirst, and in fact only three lions can participate in the battle; It is impossible to predict the risk of crossing the river with stones; they have traveled long distances in the desert, tired and thirsty, and their physical strength is already very weak.This is a battle with no certainty of victory, and it is also a life-and-death battle that cannot be avoided.

The big lion considered the attack plan.It seems that there is no need for tricks, only a real fight.Their only advantage is that they are outnumbered.The three lions, one from the front, one from the back, and one from the side, swarmed up, and it was possible for the black rhino to lose sight of the other and fall into a passive position.The question is, who will be the frontal attacker?Although the rhinoceros is huge in size and powerful, it does not kick like a giraffe or a wild horse, nor does it lift up its body like a lion or a leopard, nor can it whip its tail like a whip. fighting power.The threat to rhinos is mainly from the front.

In the impression of ordinary people, the black rhinoceros has two horns about [-] to [-] centimeters long. Antlers and sika antlers are completely different, and cannot be used as sharp blades for assassination.The horn of the rhinoceros is derived from the nose. Perhaps it is more appropriate to call it the big nose. The nasal bone accounts for a large proportion and there is no bone marrow in the horn. Although it looks like a sharp knife, it is as useless as an ordinary nose. An ornament that attracts the opposite sex.The real threat to rhinos lies in the huge impact force. Once hit by it, even African elephants will be knocked to the ground; another greater threat is the row of sharp canine teeth on the lower jaw.The upper jaw of the rhino's mouth cavity has no teeth, only the lower jaw has teeth.When the rhinoceros rushes fiercely with its snout, it will open its huge mouth, like plowing the field, and use the canine teeth of its lower jaw to plow a long, wide and fatal wound on the opponent.

But it is impossible not to take the main striker, and it is impossible not to bite from the front, because the head is the only fatal part of the rhino.

The big lion casts his selective eyes on the red streamer. Although the red streamer has come to life, his head hangs down, weak like a mangy dog ​​with a broken spine; the big lion casts his selective eyes on the peach eyes, those beautiful eyes are lifeless. Almost losing the will to survive; the big lion turned his selective eyes to Scarface, and Scarface pretended not to see it, avoiding its gaze, and turned his head to the side.

Every lion knows in his heart that whoever acts as the main frontal attacker will step into the gate of hell with his front paws.

The big lion knows that the important task of the frontal main attacker is none other than himself.It is the big brother, go through fire and water, it is duty-bound.Forget it, who made it the elder among the four brothers?Just like the boss in a small group, at critical moments, it has to bite the bullet.

Be careful, be cautious, pay more attention, and be careful, maybe you won't let the black rhino knock down and bite you.With a trace of luck in his heart, the big lion rushed down Xiaoshishan with a scarred face and peach blossom eyes.

As expected, the big lion circled around the front of the black rhino, the scarred face circled around the back of the black rhino, and the peach eyes stayed on the left side of the black rhino.The black rhino crawled out of the small pond, stood in the grass, bowed its head, and put on a desperate fight.

One is to defend the water source to the death, and the other is to seize the water source to the death. A bloody fight is inevitable.

The big-headed lion roared, sending out a bite signal.Three half-sized male lions jumped up from three directions at the same time.

The two front paws of the big lion aimed at the two eyeballs of the black rhino, and the two horns at the end of the nose of the black rhino were aimed at the two horns of the black rhino's nose, hoping to gouge the black rhino's eyes at once, and pull out the black rhino's eyes like pulling out teeth. Double horns.Its front paws had already lifted off the ground. Suddenly, it saw that the black rhinoceros, which looked bulky and dull, deftly twisted its neck, turned its head aside, and opened its mouth with a clatter. The canine teeth are shining like daggers, and the thick neck is slightly twisted, obviously waiting for it to pounce on it.If it doesn't change its posture, according to the current angle, it is difficult for the claws to hit the rhino's eyes. Except for the eyes, any part of the rhino's face with the thick and tough skin can only be scratched for free by the lion's claws Or massage, what is even more irritating is that the black rhino is already prepared. The moment its claws just land on its face, its thick neck will be twisted suddenly, and the sharp canines will plow mercilessly. open its throat.

It can't die in vain, it can't just rush out like this.

Its body stood upright in the air, and it froze for a short time.

The entire body of Scarface attacking from behind has been lifted into the air, and the target of the bite is the short and small rhinoceros tail.
