From the crack in the middle of the lake, Xu Wenjie somewhat understood what the animal experts were worried about. In this case of aridity, there should be very little water left on the grassland.

Back in the car, looking at the listless Simba, Xu Wenjie said angrily: "You guy, you want to come by yourself, and now you look like this." If I had known, I wouldn't have brought you here. ”

Simba screamed, as if protesting with Xu Wenjie, and then lay down in the carriage again. This dry weather, it is also a little uncomfortable.

An antelope stood on top of a mound in the distance, looking out towards the car. Xu Wenjie looked at the antelope's dim eyes, obviously this guy was also troubled by drought.

It may not be long before it dies due to lack of water. Of course, it can also become food for those lions and hyenas who are troubled by food.

Perhaps sensing the danger, the antelope ran quickly into the distance from the top of the mound, and soon disappeared from Xu Wenjie's sight.

Simba looked up, but the antelope did not arouse its interest and lay down in the carriage again.

When he arrived at the second location, Xu Wenjie stopped the car and got out of the car with a gun. This time, he had to be careful because he was going into the woods.

"Simba, hurry down and go."

Simba roared, as if venting the unhappiness in his heart, jumped out of the car, and ran towards Xu Wenjie.

In the woods, except for a few trees, there are still some green leaves, many of which have withered and yellowed, and some have died directly in the dryness.

However, the small animals in the woods. Much more than on the prairie. It's better inside than outside, at least to escape the scorching sun.

After entering the woods for some distance, Xu Wenjie spotted a group of baboons. It may be that Simba gave them too strong a threat, and these guys looked at Xu Wenjie and Simba vigilantly.

But strangely, they did not flee, and soon Xu Wenjie understood the reason, a few wild banana trees, obviously these are the hope of the baboons to survive in this dry weather.

If they are because of Simba's threat. If they give up, they will probably die in the drought due to lack of food and water.

Standing in the distance and watching for a while, Xu Wenjie did not disturb this group of guys. Instead, they continued to walk into the woods. Soon, he was in the woods where the only source of water was.

There are many more animals here than in the woods outside, and they live here for the sole purpose of living. It's that little waterhole in the middle of the woods.

It's a spring that's still flowing. However, the water flow is very small, and Xu Wenjie feels that he may not be able to flow a bucket of water at the end of the day.

However, this water alone can keep many animals in the woods alive. Of course, if you want to drink water, you will probably have to pay with your life. Many carnivores are scurrying around the waterhole.

Simba's arrival. Apparently causing a huge commotion, some animals appeared in the woods, and were quickly fleeing from the area. Others did not flee, but were ready to flee.

When Simba approached the water source, some of the animals were actually preparing to attack, and these guys seemed to be crazy for the water.

Realizing that he had been provoked, Simba let out a lion's roar, and in an instant, the whole forest fell silent, and some animals were even more frightened and fell to the ground.

Xu Wenjie walked to the waterhole and looked at the situation, such a little water is the source of life for the animals living in the forest. However, it is also a place of death, and many animals are killed by other animals while drinking water.

"Let's go, Simba, don't scare them." Watching Simba scare those animals, Xu Wenjie said.

The situation here is the same as the animal experts say, the animals that live in the woods will survive in the end.

Coming out of the woods, Xu Wenjie was ready to go to the next place, which was the destination he was going to today, because there was a brutal grassland competition going on.

After driving for almost an hour, Xu Wenjie stopped, and there was a river in front of him. This is his destination, and this is where the cruelty of the steppe lies.

If you walk around the river, you will find a lot of carnivores and herbivores congregating on both sides of the river. And the purpose of these animals is the little water left in the river.

Of course, this place is even more dangerous for people, and if you are not careful, you may become the ghost of those carnivores.

Xu Wenjie doesn't need to worry about safety, with Simba in the situation, those animals will not enter Simba's attack range unless they look for their own death.

"Let's go, Simba, let's go see what the animal experts call the cutthroat competition."

In one section of the river, there is a well-watered place where crocodiles and hippos gather, two of the dominant species in the water. Xu Wenjie came here to see these two animals.

According to animal experts, the two animals fight brutally every day for water. And this battle often ends with the death of one of the parties.

Because the car couldn't pass, Xu Wenjie could only walk over with Simba. Simba was a little excited to get here, and from time to time he would roar at the grass on both sides of the river, and then he would see some animals fleeing from the grass into the distance.

This guy is very playful, and sometimes he will pretend to chase, and the scared animals will run away frantically, and some of them will fall directly into the dry river.

Xu Wenjie didn't care about it, anyway, after this guy chased a certain distance, he would run back.

When he and Simba arrived at the section of the river that the animal experts had told them, he saw that in the middle of the river, there was a huge depression going down, like a lake pit. And inside this pit, a lot of water is preserved.

Here, surrounded by large animals, they depend on this puddle in the river to survive in this drought.

However, it is also cruel, and on both sides of the river, you can see the white bones of many animals, which are all animals that died during the struggle for water.

In the mud on both sides of the river, there are crocodiles and hippos that are the overlords of the water, and when other animals drink water, in addition to facing the killing of other animals, they also have to pass through their territory.

If you're lucky, you'll be able to drink water without incident, and if you're unlucky, you'll be killed by these two fierce guys.

Of course, the competition between hippos and crocodiles is the most brutal, because they both need a lot of water, and there are only so many in the middle of the river. Once the two sides are fighting for water, there will be a great battle.

On the other side of the river, the carcass of an antelope is being eaten by crocodiles. Apparently, this is an unlucky guy who went to drink water just when the crocodile was hungry and then became food for the crocodile.

Compared to the crocodiles, hippos are safer, and as long as they don't disturb them, they generally won't attack.

Xu Wenjie found a shady place, put the parasol in place, and took out food and water from his backpack. He's waiting, waiting for these two groups of guys to fight. (To be continued......)
