Under Ralph's watchful eye, the leopard cub returned home hungry and thirsty, and found its hidden prey in a tree with few leaves.

It's almost certainly the booty of Mother Leopard.

Like all cubs, the leopard cub doesn't see anything wrong with predying on its mother's fruits of victory.

Although Ralph was dismissive of this, he and his younger siblings were just like this leopard cub when they were young, and as long as their mother brought it back, they felt that it was for themselves.

The young leopard clasped its front paws on the trunk of the tree, and with the strength of its hind legs, it climbed up the tree neatly.

Cautiously walking to a thicker branch, he headed for the small antelope stall hanging from the treetops.

With its front paws clasped into the flesh and its hind legs propped up on the branches, its tail balanced, the young leopard biting its mother's prey and trying to pull it off the tree.

"Kacha!"

With a bang, the branch supporting the young leopard broke, and the young leopard clung to the carcass of the little antelope, but finally had to fall to the ground.

There is no doubt that this is a small trap.

Since the mother leopard dared to hide her prey in the trees so openly, she naturally had a way to stop other predators from stealing her food, including her own children and other members of the same kind who roamed her territory.

In addition to the magic used for hunting, the magical individuals of the leopard race also have other special abilities.

For example, they have a special affinity for some plants, such as local weeds and trees, and can simply communicate with them to achieve some of the needs of the leopard.

When the leopard uses this ability, the weeds will actively help it hide its body so that it can hunt.

Trees can show their fragile branches or, with the help of leopards' magic, move their branches to help store their prey, and even in the heat of summer, they can provide food preservation services for leopards while masking the smell of food and preventing it from attracting other creatures.

Of course, in the face of all this help, the leopard will give in return.

The reward is simple, for the weeds that help them hide their shape, the leopard will go to that place when marking their territory, or use their own insignificant growth magic on them to make them more competitive in the wilderness.

Trees, where leopards feed is already the greatest boon.

The parts he didn't eat were all put under the canopy, either to decay and turn into nutrients, or to attract other animals, leaving his own fertilizer here.

The young leopard jumped on another branch and tried to get food again, but he himself was hung in the air and had no choice but to give up.

He tried several more times, but all failed.

The toucan, perched on the tree, tilted its head and looked at the hapless fellow.

"Big brother! Look over there."

Sophia exclaimed.

Following Sophia's lead, Ralph looked.

It was a flock of baby ostriches, with fluffy ball-like bodies, short, straight necks, and two childish but powerful flippers.

These strange little creatures were running happily down the path that had been stepped on, their heads looking curiously from side to side, and on either side were the withered yellow weeds, about the height of the little ostriches.

Although they are only a few days old, it won't be long before they become good "desert walkers" like their parents.

Their appearance once again made Ralph realize that it is not easy to survive here, and the animals' childhood is full of dangers.

Like leopards and meerkats, adult ostriches can draw all the water they need from their food, while young ostriches cannot.

Without water, it is difficult for the little ostriches to survive for a day.

In the arid and barren Kalahari Desert, where water is hard to find, did their parents conjure water to feed them?

Confused, Ralph slowed his flight slightly, watching their journey.

"It's pitiful, it's an illusion again. Big brother, should we give them some rain!"

Sophia watched the Ostrich family pounce on the air again, and said to Ralph with a look of pity.

"Read on. The pair of great ostriches are excellent parents, and they have a way."

Ralph pondered for a moment and said.

The baby ostriches followed their parents on a journey to a barren land, the salt marshes of Etosha.

There was no vegetation growing on the ground, the ground was dry, and the air on the ground was twisted by the sun.

Here, the water source is like a mirage.

With the arrival of Ralph and them, a shadow appears over the Ostrich family.

By this time, Ralph had moved from dark clouds to white clouds. At Sophia's request, they manipulate the clouds where they are hiding, casting their shadows over the ostrich family all the time.

It was like a journey of self-destruction, with the wind blowing up the dust on the ground and spinning upward, from the invisible to the tangible.

Now, the temperature has exceeded 40 degrees Celsius, and the scorching sun is shining, and the ostrich father spreads his wings to hold up a shade for his children.

Ralph and the others arrived just in time, casting a shadow over the family.

A burst of shade hit, and both the ostrich couple and the baby ostrich looked up at the sky, and the scorching sun was still there, but a white cloud blocked the sun for them.

However, Daddy Ostrich did not retract his wings because of this, and remained open. After all, Yun'er will float away, and he can protect them until they grow up.

In the shadow of the clouds, the ostrich family wandered and suddenly galloped away in one direction.

It's a pity, from Ralph's point of view, there is nothing there, apparently, they were deceived by a mirage.

When the ostrich family arrived, they let out a few chirps in disappointment and continued on their way.

"Big brother! Eldest brother! There's the water over there, and there's a lot of animals drinking."

Sophia said happily to Ralph, as if she was the one in dire need of water. She fluttered happily through the clouds, almost revealing her tracks.

On the ground, the ostrich parents apparently noticed the place as well, and began to head there, every opportunity had to be seized, mirage or not, it was a matter of life.

As they approached, it was already confirmed that this was the place they had been looking for.

Here, the ostrich family is not alone, there is a large flock of birds, antelopes, zebras, bison, giraffes, etc., and of course other ostrich families.

Around them was a vast field of mud that had been dried by the sun, and sweet springs gushed out from the depths of the earth like a miracle.

Although the ostrich parents managed to lead the young ostriches to find water, they also faced a huge problem, which was traffic jams.

There is no shortage of behemoths such as elephants and rhinos, and even other adult animals are a hindrance for the little ostriches.

Especially the flocks of antelopes, they don't care about you, and they won't feel guilty about stepping on the little ostriches. In this land, all living things are struggling to survive.

The water source was so close that the little ostrich opened its mouth and watched the other creatures feast on the water.

However, they came at the right time, and the ostrich couple did not need to personally escort the little ostriches to the water.

Where prey gathers, predators will follow.

The lions roared and rushed towards this side.

The first to arrive was a female lioness, followed by a male lion.

With their arrival, the herbivores of the water source immediately ran away.

Seeing this, the female lion and the male lion hurriedly braked and turned, the male lion slowed down a little and collided with another male lion attacking from the side, the two lions fought on the ground, and the male lion was defeated, but still roared.

Then, a third male joined them in the chase, with a black mane at the end, flowing backwards as he ran, very imposingly.

The attack of the lions frightened many animals, and a giraffe was chased by a female lioness

It took a long time to get rid of this interracial "suitor".

These aggressive lions have inadvertently done the little ostriches a great favor.

Sometimes, life just needs a little luck.

Now that the puddle is safe, they come forward to drink water on their own, urged by their parents.

Stepping into the water with their legs that were not yet long, they drank water like eating insects, and the cool feeling filled their bodies, and this was the first time they drank water since they were born, which was too timely.

Their fathers did their duty.

The sun began to set in the west.

After the chase, the lions lingered on the edge of a puddle, and the female lions were playing on the sidelines, kicking up the sand on the ground, and they had to squint and pause for a while.

A very heavy creature slowly walked towards them with solid steps, and the eyes of the lioness were on him.

This is a black rhinoceros, the most difficult inhabitant of the Kalahari Desert, who does not like to be in the company of other animals, and certainly does not like to share a watering hole with lions.

A female lion wanted to drink water, but was intimidated away by this black rhinoceros who did not know how to pity the jade, and he chased after him a few steps, this huge and heavy body, with the sharp horns on the head, is indeed full of deterrence.

For the other animals, they are lucky, because they only need to come here twice a week, and they don't have to bear the wrath of these black rhinos.

The black rhinoceros trotted by its puddle, making heavy breathing noises, warning nearby lions not to go near his territory.

Don't look at these big men with their grumpy tempers, but the Kalahari Desert is their last remaining habitat.

Night was approaching, and the sun was radiating its last rays.

At Sophia's pleading, Ralph agreed to her idea of spending the night.

Using magic, Ralph built an invisible nest not far from a waterhole for the two birds to perch.

Outside, Sophia was bounced towards the puddle against the sun. Watching the little ostriches drink water before, she also wanted to taste what this water tasted like, so attractive to creatures.

When she came to the puddle and was about to bow her head to drink, the black rhinoceros, which was still facing her, turned around and stared at her, snorting rough air from its nose.

"Gah!"

Sophia subconsciously screamed, meaning "Is there something wrong?"

The black rhinoceros stomped the ground and rushed straight at her, causing Sophia to flutter her wings and retreat.

The night sky here is extremely beautiful, without any artificial light pollution, and the Milky Way composed of stars and interstellar dust in the sky is visible to the naked eye, and the stars are shining in the sky, exuding their own light.

Under the watchful eyes of these stars, the rhinoceros changed their usual habit of solitude and came from all directions to this secret and special watering hole.

A young female rhinoceros is drinking by a puddle, and next to her is a giraffe with her front legs open and her head bowed to drink.

At this point, the female rhinoceros suddenly became a little nervous, and she felt other rhinos approaching her.

A mother rhinoceros appears in the dark with her cubs, they meet, tentatively greeting each other, touching each other's noses and feeling each other's breath.

During the day, they may have been hot-tempered, but now that they have become so gentle and affectionate, perhaps true tenderness is reserved for their fellow-citizens.

Sophia was very moved when she saw this scene, and suddenly she was no longer hostile to the black rhinoceros chasing her in the evening.

Ralph is the same, how similar this scene is to the situation in Hogsmeade! He looked out at the Milky Way and missed his neighbors a little.

Although the rhinos here are called black rhinos, their actual eyes are grayish, mainly because humans named them black rhinos in order to distinguish them from white rhinos.

They are very heavy, but they can echo the stars in the sky.

The reason why the daytime is irritable is because the starlight received during the day mostly contains sunlight.

Sexual impotence bursts.

The starlight at night is contrasted with the moonlight, which is softer and can wash away the heat and restlessness accumulated throughout the day.

The two rhino horns on their heads, one on the other and one on the back, are extremely valuable magical materials, and for this reason, the local Ministry of Magic has listed them as protected animals, and their horns have also been included in the trade notes.

Although their skin looks very hard, it is not an ideal material for armor.

The skin of the black rhinoceros contains two opposing attributes, yang and yin, the hard part is yang, but this part is the protruding folds of the skin, and between the folds, there is a very soft part, which belongs to yin.

Therefore, their skin is completely unfolded, and the result is a skin that is hard and soft.

At the same time, the soft part of the fold is a favorite place for ticks and parasites, not only to avoid the sun's baking, but also to suck the blood of the black rhinoceros.

For this reason, black rhinos often roll in puddles of water to cover their skin with mud and avoid being harassed by parasites.

Of course, they also have a good little buddy, the little rhino bird.

Whether it's the ticks on the black rhinoceros or other parasites, it's the favorite food of the little rhino bird.

The baby rhino bird often rests on the black rhinoceros, bouncing on the ground, using its magical perception to pinpoint the various parasites hidden in the cracks of the black rhino's skin, and then eat them.

This makes the black rhinos very comfortable and comfortable, whether it is day or night, the black rhinos never lose their temper with the baby rhino birds, but love these little ones very much.

Sometimes, a single black rhino can often represent a family of small rhino birds, and in addition to not being able to act as their nest, they also spontaneously prevent some of the birds from attacking their young rhino bird chicks.

Of course, the black rhino's efforts are also rewarded, as the baby rhino bird will make a faint sound to alert it if it approaches, and cast a spell to increase its speed when it escapes.
