You Plan To Kill Me With Meng? - Chapter 51.1 - Prairie Lions Alliance (06)
He is not yet sure how severe the poaching situation is on this grassland.
But one thing is certain: having a team following you has its pros and cons.
We can avoid 90% of poaching cases, but the downside is that there will be no privacy; everything—eating, drinking to other activities—will be under surveillance.
Worse off than top celebrities.
When Qiao Qixi was a polar bear, things were fine. As everyone knows, photographers in the Arctic are very polite and generally keep a considerable distance.
It’s not that they don’t want to get closer; it’s just that their skills don’t allow for it.
Wildlife photographers on the savanna are very impressive. You can’t say that they get close; they practically shove their cameras right in front of the big cats, just falling short of calling out to them to strike pose.
When big cats are hunting, the photographers stand right beside them—it’s extremely wild.
What’s even more impressive is that the lions and leopards on the savanna can basically ignore the photographers.
Sometimes, when it gets cold at night, they even lean against the people to keep warm.
Qiao Qixi feels that both humans and animals, more or less, have some issues. Of course, this is a criticism. In reality, he knows well that these big cats have merely grown accustomed to seeing humans from a young age.
It’s already become commonplace.
They can’t eat, also can’t fight, nor drive them away. What else to do except ignore?
Now, they themselves are experiencing the scrutiny of human cameras. T/N: Qiao Qixi’s family
Having just found a resting place, they don’t want to get up and leave. Moreover, the little cubs are all sound asleep.
So to speak – to move just one thing will affect everything.
T/N: 牵一发动全身 (qiān yī fā dòng quánshēn): This is a Chinese idiom meaning “to affect everything by moving just one thing.”
Of course, it’s also not without its benefits, hehehe.
Qiao Qixi yawned at the camera in front of him, squinting as he thought to himself that the safety of the six members of the Qiao household was now entrusted to the heroes present to guard.
I’m dead tired, going to take a nap first.
51.1
The photographers who had just taken their positions watched the legendary lion with cubs, first casting a disdainful glance at them, showing neither alertness nor fear.
Then, it disdainfully yawned, with such a leisurely posture, completely ignoring the various long guns and short cannons aimed at it.
T/N: 长枪短炮” (cháng qiāng duǎn pào) is an idiomatic expression referring to different types of weapons, used here metaphorically to describe the cameras and equipment of the photographers.
Then it lay down to sleep, lay down ….
Everyone couldn’t help but think: No wonder it’s a descendant of the Top Ten Alliances; just look at this seasoned demeanor.
Actually, Qiao Qixi had a reason to dare to sleep; he knew that these humans responsible for recording would not interfere with the ecological cycle of the grassland.
That is to say, even if danger approaches, humans will not make a sound to alert.
But it doesn’t matter; the presence of humans itself provides protection. Most grassland animals are very cautious and would never let curiosity get them into trouble.
Speaking of curiosity among animals, grassland animals are probably the least curious. Indeed, there is essentially a regional difference; undoubtedly, animals in the polar regions top the list in terms of curiosity.
Consider polar bears and penguins for example.
Next are marine animals.
The only things that can attract the attention of grassland animals are probably food or mates in heat.
Firstly, on the grassland, animals generally do not consider lions their first choice of food, unless they are insane.
Secondly, as a subadult lion who is not yet physiologically mature and not very handsome, Qiao Qixi feels that there is probably no one on this grassland who would take notice of him.
But sometimes many matters, are hard to explain.
Six-making people excited and also causing worry-lions slept for a while under the guarding of the photographers. When they woke up, they were still not very hungry, as they usually eat substantial meat that takes longer to digest.
After Qiao Qixi woke up, feeling bored, he began to lick the fur of the cubs. This is the best way to keep his body clean, as having no strong odor can basically eliminate more than 80% of malicious tracking.
The drowsy cubs turned their bodies and, in a very relaxed and lazy posture, allowed the male lion to lick them. This scene made the male lion appear more like a nurturing, motherly lioness.
But he really isn’t.
The white lion woke up. People saw him stand up, crouch down on the ground to yawn, then nuzzle up to the male lion and act very coyly.
Cubs at this age are quite delicate and soft. They frequently collapse and pretend to be injured, using their paws to cling to the male lion’s neck and making mock biting movements.
Typically, the male lion would growl back impatiently or simply get up and move to another spot to nap.
But this male lion from the Magic Red Alliance surprisingly started playing with the cubs, both pretending to attack each other. However, after just a few rounds, the male lion’s true nature was revealed.
Transforms into a mad licking demon.
The white lion tilted its neck because it was being licked, which finally allowed the camera to capture a clear frontal view of the young master of the Norman family.
“Wow.” The moment they saw the frontal view, people couldn’t help but let out a soft, genuine exclamation of amazement. It was quite stunning.
It was a very handsome face, with snow-white fur free of any blemishes, a black nose, blue eyes, and exceptionally strong and excellent bone structure. In short, it was a world of difference from how he looked a month ago.
The male lion has taken very good care of them.
The white lion turned its head and glanced toward the humans. It seemed to see something, but there was no curiosity or caution in its eyes. Perhaps because it was near the male lion, it showed only a disinterested aloofness.
The young lion quickly turned back and continued to play with the male lion.
The other party’s two thick paws look like they would have a superb feel to them, but unfortunately, no one can experience it.
