Chapter 771: A Hard Life

"Missed the ...... again"

For several days, with inexplicable cognition and unstoppable thinking, the little milk leopard missed drinking milk because he was always overwhelmed and asleep.

Hungry day by day, this makes it significantly thinner than the other two cubs, and the mother cheetah is helpless about it, as she seems to have become accustomed to the child's 'nature' that does not like to drink milk.

But the little leopard is very unhappy, it wants to drink milk!

"It's annoying...... I know everything!"

"Why did I know the single tree? In the tropical arid regions of Africa, in order to reduce water evaporation, the leaves gradually degrade or even disappear, and the branches turn green, replacing the leaves for light and function......

The little milk leopard looked confused, deeply shocked by his knowledge.

Over time, the more things you see, smell, and feel, the richer your cognition will become.

If you think about it, you can know even more.

However, hunger forces it to want to give it up, and knowledge cannot be eaten, it has to be milked!

"Lactation is very important for cheetahs, and if this continues, I will die!"

The little leopard made such a judgment very clearly, so he decided to forcibly curb his thinking.

When its mother is away, it never looks and thinks, but lies down with its eyes closed, meditating in the dark, waiting to feed.

In these two days, the little leopard can finally control the knowledge that comes out from time to time.

When you don't want it, it doesn't pop up.

This made him very happy that he was finally able to drink milk normally.

However, it is not that it wants to drink, but it has to drink.

Sometimes, even if the little leopard is soberly waiting for its mother, there is no milk to drink, or only a faint amount of water.

Moreover, it found a strange thing, that is, sometimes the brain still feels very hungry even when it is full.

It seems that far away, there is a consciousness that is also starving, and it is connected with its own heart.

"Hungry...... Meow ......"

The little leopard was very disappointed and couldn't help but start thinking deeply...... As it pondered why there was no milk to drink, some knowledge about its mother automatically popped up in its mind.

The female cheetah is very hard every day, and does not dare to sleep at night, always vigilantly observing the environment.

In the morning, make up for sleep, and only at noon when the sun is at its most vicious, do you dare to hunt. Because at this time, both lions and hyenas are sleeping.

Prey is scarce in this area, and it is the dry season and it is only possible to find prey near water sources, where there are also many predators.

It has to quickly catch its prey without alarming other predators, and then take it away and eat it before it can come back with a full stomach to feed its young, which is very difficult.

Everything about the cheetah's body is made to quickly hunt down its prey, because the heat dissipation is too poor, and its endurance is not enough to support it for long runs.

And because its teeth are too short, it can only bite the throat of its prey, causing it to suffocate to death.

For various reasons, if the luck is not good, let alone feeding, it may starve to death.

After gradually understanding this, the little leopard no longer complained, and her heart swelled with attachment and understanding for her mother. Raising their three cubs independently was too difficult for the young mother.

However, the little leopard has nothing to do about it, and it is now difficult to even move.

I can only huddle with my sisters during the day, and lick my mother at night, rubbing her little face with her.

The female cheetah enjoyed this licking and also gave a soft tongue to a few little guys.

Just like that, the cheetah family survived this period of time with great difficulty.

Finally, twenty-five days after the baby leopard was born, they were able to follow their mother.

Although it is convenient to leave the cubs in the grass and go hunting alone, the safety of the cubs is not guaranteed at all.

As long as a predator finds it, they are almost certain to die.

So when the baby leopards could stumble with the female cheetah, the female cheetah began a more difficult life of hunting with her baby.

"Meow!" The two ignorant little female leopards always interrupt the hunting rhythm of the female cheetah.

When female cheetahs are lurking, their clumsy concealment skills or silly barks can startle their prey.

This forced the female cheetah to charge ahead of time, often in vain.

"Stupid, you two won't shut up! We'll all starve if the prey runs away!" the little leopard angrily criticized the two little she-leopards.

Of course, the little female leopards did not understand the cry of the little leopard, but licked it......

"Meow?"

"......" The little milk leopard lay on his stomach speechlessly: "It's the habit of male leopards to be ignorant, why are you two so noisy......"

Fortunately, they are precocious female leopards after all.

After seeing their mother's hunt fail and then starving, they remember the connection between the two events.

In addition, the little leopard taught them frantically all day long in order to have enough milk, and finally after just two days, they learned to be silent and learned to hide themselves.

"Mommy can finally hunt well...... "The little leopard was relieved.

However, the longed-for full meal never came.

The female cheetah wanders around with her three small herds, and it is always necessary to walk a long way to find her prey in this vast sandy area.

After seeing the prey, the female cheetah did not choose to hunt, and after hesitating for a while, she chose to leave with them.

"Are there any other predators?" the baby leopard was too short to see anything.

But it knew that the mother must have discovered the existence of a lion or something.

So repeatedly, the female cheetah took them for a day, and it was estimated that they walked more than ten kilometers.

The three little ones are almost hungry and stupid, and the little milk leopard is in a daze, and he wants to sleep, but in order not to fall behind, he can only follow.

"It's night...... It seems that I don't have anything to eat today......" The little leopard was desperate, and when she saw that the female cheetah had found a place to rest, she immediately lay on her stomach and fell asleep.

When I woke up, the other two were still asleep, and the female cheetah was still vigilant.

I didn't eat enough for three days in a row, and I only drank some clear milk...... The little leopard was so hungry that it felt like it was dying.

The female cheetah apparently knew about this and was depressed.

But life had to go on, and it continued to carry the three little ones forward, and after crossing a large sandy area, they finally saw a tall one.

"Ostrich ......" the little leopard directly recognized the target.

The female cheetah hesitated and seemed to hesitate.

The little leopard licked his mother pitifully: "Ostrich, it! Haven't you eaten it?"

This female cheetah must have eaten ostriches, but may have been kicked by an ostrich at one time...... Or maybe they're weighing whether their physical strength at the moment can catch up with that guy...... In short, it's considering whether or not to hunt.

However, although it can go hungry for two more days, the cubs can't, and they have been hungry for so long almost to the limit...... It must catch its prey.

"Come on, Mom!" the little leopard watched expectantly as the female cheetah lurked past.

However, the ostrich was too tall, and in this desolate sandy area, where only a few shrubs and weeds dotted were visible, the approaching cheetah could be seen from a distance of 100 meters.

It trotted a few steps to pull away, and it looked very leisurely.

The female cheetah persistently approached the past, but the ostrich was clearly slipping through it, always maintaining a distance of no less than a hundred meters.

In the end, the female cheetah was forced to sprint directly, but the ostrich was not slow at all, and it was too difficult for the hungry female cheetah to narrow the distance of 100 meters by speed.

After a moment of chase, the gray-faced female cheetah, who was deliberately kicked by the ostrich Bigfoot, finally slowed down breathlessly and had no choice but to give up.

"No, are you going to starve today?" you will starve to death!" the little leopard was nervous and desperate.

It wanted to pounce itself on the ostrich in the face and bite the underwhelmed guy to death.

"Poof!"

Suddenly, a stone flew away in a furious way, shooting straight at the ostrich.

It even crossed a distance of hundreds of meters, chased all the way to the ostrich's face, and accurately hit its eyes.

"Bang!"

The blow was not heavy, but it couldn't withstand the small head of the ostrich, and such a precise blow, coupled with the sharpness of the corners of the stone, actually smashed the eyeball at once, and the shock made the ostrich fall headlong and fall into a coma for a short time.

The female cheetah was stunned for a moment, immediately raised her remaining strength, ignored her overwhelmed heart, rushed forward, and finally bit this guy's neck.

It worked, but the female cheetah collapsed on the ground, biting the ostrich by the neck and gasping for air.

It is so hot that it runs explosively, causing its body temperature to rise dramatically, and if it is too hot, it can damage its internal organs and brain.

At this time, it has almost no ability to resist.

The little milk leopard hurriedly trotted over with two small trots, and seeing that the mother's condition was not good, he hurriedly dragged the ostrich's fat body to cover the mother.

The ostrich's feathers are still very large, blocking the direction of the sun, so that the female cheetah is in the shade, which can slightly help her recover her body temperature.

Otherwise, the sand may burn the female cheetah in the blazing sun......

"Hold on!" the baby leopard licks the female cheetah with its tongue, helping to dissipate heat by absorbing heat and evaporating through saliva.

The two little female leopards didn't know why, but they were also very nervous, so they followed.

Finally, after an hour of hard work, the female cheetah slowly stood up and gradually regained her mobility.

It looked very weak, but insisted on dragging the ostrich away.

The three little ones only helped to push and shove, although it was a drop in the bucket, but it was better than nothing.

Having dragged the prey to the shady side of a tall shrub, the female cheetah lay tired again. The temperature is too high.

The little leopard had to help pluck the hair with the newly erupted baby teeth to help the mother save some time for eating.

It was the only one doing it, and the other two female leopards were too tired to move.

For some reason, the little leopard was able to persevere despite being very tired and even physically overwhelmed.

It felt like it could squeeze its last ounce of strength, and this terrible self-control allowed it to keep moving.

The female cheetah was very surprised to see that the little leopard had plucked all the ostrich feathers, but she didn't know how to express or think about it, so she just licked the little leopard, got up and began to eat.

It must be fed, and only when it is fed can the cubs have milk to drink.

"I want milk...... I want to drink milk......" The little leopard waited sluggishly.

The female cheetah is gulping and looking left and right vigilantly from time to time.

The little leopard lamented the speed of eating: "Don't look at it, be vigilant every day, are you tired...... Eat it. ”

Suddenly, the she-cheetah suddenly stood up and ran away with her three cubs in her mouth.

Even because it was too hasty, a baby female leopard fell out of her mouth.

"What is it?" the little leopard vaguely saw that something was approaching this way.

The mother cheetah hastily transported the cub a few dozen meters away, and then went back to pick up the one that had fallen.

Only then was the little leopard able to look back at the visitor, who was a dripping hyena.

"Boom!" the hyena let out a wicked laugh and pounced on the mother cheetah.

The mother cheetah ran away with her cub in her mouth and watched her prey fall into the hyena's mouth.

"...... Robbed?"

"Ahhhhh

But the other two little female leopards followed the instinct of fear in their hearts, and stared blankly at the ferocious hyena, without any temper.

It's a pity that the little leopard who wanted to kill back was stopped by his mother.

The mother was very unwilling to watch the hyena eat greedily, but it had no choice but to retreat.

However, how could the little leopard be willing to let his mother give up the food that he had so hard to get?

"You're going to die for me!"

"Bang!" a rock slammed into the hyena.

The hyena had already sensed the flying stones and made dodging moves.

However, the stone turned a corner and landed precisely on the dog's eye.

It smashed into its eyes with blood.
