The lion goes wandering

Chapter 22 Outsmarting the Big Male Crocodile (1)
Since Peach Blossom Eye ventured across the border at noon that day, his relationship with the black chrysanthemum lioness has made great progress.The chrysanthemum lioness crosses the border line to meet it in the Sischa swamp, either at noon in the hot sun or in the dead of night.

As it turned out, that risk was well worth it.

Peach Blossom Eye hopes that its relationship with the black chrysanthemum lioness is not a couple in the general sense, but a life-and-death ally.To this end, it has made many efforts.

Every time the black chrysanthemum lioness comes, she asks her brother, Hong Piao, to stand guard on an anthill or a dwarf tree near the boundary line as a guard.Once there is any abnormal movement in the one-eared Tikka lion group, the red streamer immediately shakes its tail to call the police, and the black chrysanthemum lioness can prepare for it in time, or sneak back to the lion group from the path without anyone noticing, or hide in the swamp Go to the grass in the hinterland.This is not only to prevent the secrets between them from being revealed, but more importantly, to make the female lioness feel her carefulness and shrewdness, thereby creating a sense of security.

In order to please the lioness of the black chrysanthemum, it carefully maintains its image, grooms and grooms frequently.

In the past, it never trimmed its appearance, and didn't care whether it was dirty or not. As long as it could fill its belly and sleep without being disturbed, it would be considered a good life, but now it has begun to pay attention: after hunting, it will Stand in the pond to wash off the mud from the limbs; after getting out of the grass nest, immediately lick the broken grass and leaves on the body to refresh; The bloodshot eyes between the beard and the claws are licked and washed clean; the first thing to do after waking up is to wipe off the turbid yellow gum in the corners of the eyes, so that the eyes will always be clear and bright.It takes extra care of the mane on the head and neck, the symbol of the male lion.Taohuayan is almost four years old. Although the mane is not fully grown, it is not fluffy or mighty enough compared to an adult male lion, but it is several inches long and has a certain scale.Whenever he has free time, he asks his brother Red Streamer to comb his mane with his tongue.Well-maintained, the mane is curly and silky, spotless and handsome.

In order to win the favor of the female lioness and strengthen their relationship, unlike other big male lions, it is very diligent during the courtship stage. Once the goal is achieved, it is no longer interested in expressing lingering love to the female lion.It has an endless love, and when it's time to meet, it runs to the border to greet it; when it sees the black chrysanthemum lioness, its eyes shine, its mane stands upright, and it looks so excited that it can't hold back, and kisses again and again , expressing the mood of hope and desire just right.It always clears the way in front, breaks through the thorns, tramples the wormwood, and allows the black chrysanthemum lioness to follow it into the hinterland of the swamp in peace and comfort; So she kept trying to keep her, but she couldn't keep it any longer, so she looked at the black chrysanthemum lioness with miserable eyes, to show that she couldn't bear to be separated even for a moment, so that every meeting was like being in love with her. Have a great holiday.Between the two encounters, it also tried its best to find opportunities to climb high and look into the distance, staring at the black chrysanthemum lioness with scorching eyes. Staying together with each other will never be too long.

It has no territory, no home, no foundation, no strong body, no all-powerful style, it is a down and out wandering lion, except for youth, appearance and emotion, it has nothing.

Its efforts certainly paid off. The black chrysanthemum lioness crossed the border line to meet it more and more frequently, and several times gave it and the red ribbon to eat with fresh meat secretly hidden in its mouth.However, to Peach Blossom Eyes' pity, the black chrysanthemum lioness did not show any dislike for One-eared Tikka. She often licked the mane of One-eared Tikka right after she returned to the lion group. , throwing herself into the embrace of Duerikaka without hindrance, loving the new but not tired of the old, implementing a dual-track system of feelings.

Also, every time we meet, no matter how harmonious the atmosphere is and how passionate the emotions are, when the time comes when the one-eared cats are about to wake up from their sleep, the female lioness of the black chrysanthemum will be absent-minded, restless, and anxious to go back , 1 minute also refused to stay.This shows that the black chrysanthemum lioness has no intention of abandoning the one-eared Tikka lion group and following it at the ends of the earth. In the Solticaca lions.In the current situation, it is an extremely unrealistic luxury to let the black chrysanthemum lioness accompany it through fire and water.

The reason why the black chrysanthemum lioness implements the dual-track relationship system must be out of survival considerations. She thinks that she is not strong enough, thinks she is not mature enough, has too much creamy taste and lacks masculinity, and doubts whether she has the ability to provide a peaceful home. and necessary living security.

It's no wonder that the black chrysanthemum lioness has this kind of thinking. After so long, it has never asked the black chrysanthemum lioness to eat anything, but the black chrysanthemum lioness brings some meat to it every now and then.This upside-down feeding relationship will inevitably be seen as a lion with low viability.

We must find an opportunity to prove to the black chrysanthemum lioness that it is definitely not an embroidered pillow and a pack of grass, it is definitely not a male who lives on soft food, it is definitely not a wimp and imbecile, it has the ambition and ideal of a lion , There is no lack of strength of a lion!The best proof is to slap a running giraffe down in front of the black chrysanthemum lioness, or jump on the wildebeest's back with a vigorous posture and twist off the wildebeest's cervical spine.Extraordinary hunting skills can embody the value of a male lion.

The difficulty is, even if it has such ability and courage, where can it find a stage to perform?In the huge Luo Lian grassland, there is no place for it to stand on, and no hunting ground where it can gallop freely. As soon as it walks out of the Sischa swamp, it will invade the territory of other lions, and it is too late to escape. What is the talk of showing hunting skills?It can only hide in the Sischa swamp. Because there are unfathomable quagmire everywhere, there are very few large herbivores. Except for mice, it is a ferocious crocodile.It can't take the risk of hunting crocodiles in order to win the favor of the black chrysanthemum lioness, right?
However, perhaps, this is not a way that cannot be considered!

This is a typical African crocodile, with a body length of eight meters; the skin is as rough as a layer of scales; although the snout is not as sharp as a sword like the Indian crocodile, it is much longer than the Chinese crocodile and the Mississippi crocodile The upper and lower jaws are criss-crossed, shining coldly, like a sharpened long saw, with a hideous and terrifying appearance.

Tao Huayan decided to attack the strong adult male crocodile.In order to gain the trust of the black chrysanthemum lioness, in order to show its bravery and strength, it can only do this.

In fact, there are many large and small crocodiles in the hinterland of the Sischa Swamp. It can choose a young and weak crocodile to attack, or find a crocodile that is guarding the egg pit without eating or drinking, waiting for the young crocodile to break out of its shell. The female crocodile that has survived to death is used as the target, so the risk is much lower and the success is much greater, but the effect will be compromised.If you want to do it, do it beautifully.

It had been rainy since early morning that day.Due to the bad weather, the one-eared Tikka pride did not catch any prey throughout the morning.At noon, the rain stopped, and the sun cast irregular patches of light from among the broken clouds.The other lions in the one-eared Tikka pride looked for mice to satisfy their hunger, and the black chrysanthemum lioness slipped across the border and came to Taohuayan.

God-given opportunity, Peach Blossom thought, it is going to hunt and kill this adult male crocodile now, killing three birds with one stone, it can not only shape its heroic image, but also get delicious food, and also let the black chrysanthemum lioness think that it is going through fire and water for love .

Due to the empty belly, the lioness of Moju was a little depressed. After coming to Taohuayan, she lay lazily in the grass, closed her eyes and rested her mind.Peach Blossom Eye licked the empty belly of the black chrysanthemum lioness, vomited, let out a soft cry, flicked her tail, and walked towards the hinterland of the swamp.

——Come with me, I'll find something delicious for you!

The black chrysanthemum lioness followed behind it suspiciously.

Passing through a shrub forest intertwined with vines, I saw the huge male crocodile crawling out of the lake covered with king lotus.Its head and body were lying on the shore of the lake, its big tail was still soaking in the lake water, and its mouth was wide open.A few birds with gray and white feathers flew into the mouth of the male crocodile, pecking here and scratching there. The male crocodile closed his eyes comfortably and remained motionless.

Crocodiles are ferocious by nature, and almost all birds dare not get close to crocodiles, except the petite Yanqiniao who dares to fly into the crocodile's mouth.This is actually a typical symbiotic phenomenon in nature.The crocodile spends most of its time in the water, and the mouth with extremely irregular teeth cannot be completely closed. Some leeches and other parasites always get into the gaps between the crocodile's teeth, biting and sucking blood.The crocodile can't get rid of these parasites by itself, so as soon as it sees the Yan Chiniao, it crawls to the shore, opens its mouth wide, and lets these little birds help it clean its mouth.Therefore, Yanqiniao is also known as toothpick bird.

Crocodiles are usually very vigilant, especially when they are on the shore, they watch all directions and listen to all directions, and they will quickly retreat into the water when there is any disturbance.Because in the water, crocodiles are invincible and have no natural enemies, but on the shore, they may be attacked by wild beasts such as elephants, lions, cheetahs and hyenas.Only when Yan Qianniao removes the leech between its teeth, the crocodile is in a relaxed state and is easy to catch.

At this time, the peach-eyed brother, the red streamer, also followed to the bushes intertwined with vines.

Peach Blossom Eye first let the black chrysanthemum lioness lie down in the bushes, motioned it not to move, then bent her legs, lowered her body, and jumped towards the big male crocodile.

——I’ve only been hungry for half a day, and I’m far from exhausted. Why would you take such a risk?
The black chrysanthemum lioness wanted to stop it, but it was too late.It wanted to stand up and rush out with Taohuayan. The two lions said that they were much stronger than one lion, but the red streamer blocked it and refused to let it move.
