Serengeti, Savannah.
The hot sun was burning the earth, and under the blue sky, the huge wildebeest team was migrating north.
July to September every year was the transition between the rainy season and the dry season in the East African grasslands.
The rainy season in the Serengeti ended, the rain area moved north, the precipitation decreased, and the dry season arrived. This caused the Serengeti grasslands to gradually become a wasteland, and herbivores, including wildebeest, faced a growing survival crisis.
At this time, the Masai Mara Nature Reserve in northern Kenya was in the rainy season, making this place the "Garden of Eden" of the entire East African grasslands.
During this time, the wildebeest followed the pace of the rain, traveling day and night, avoiding the attacks of many natural enemies. They moved more than 40 kilometers a day, migrating north to the Masai Mara in Kenya, a distance of about 3,000 kilometers.
The migration process was very dangerous because they would step on the territory of many fierce beasts.
This stage was also the time for all the beasts on the grasslands to hunt.
Lions, leopards, hyenas, crocodiles, and so on, these fierce predators were ready to eat and eat during this time.
At this time, in a corner of the prairie, nearly a hundred wildebeest were running toward the migrating group.
Behind them, the pride followed closely, looking for a single wildebeest with bloodthirsty eyes, ready to pounce and launch a fatal blow at any time.
Hunting was an instinct for this group of top predators on the prairie, and their hunting skills were repeatedly tempered as they grew up. Because the price of a mistake was starvation, they were very familiar with how to catch prey.
While driving the wildebeest group away from the main group, the lionesses' eyes were still constantly scanning the wildebeest group, looking at the few small and thin cubs.
Compared to the adult wildebeest, the cubs were undoubtedly the best targets to hunt.
Moreover, it was not easy to be accidentally injured when hunting cubs.
At this time, the hunt began. A lioness suddenly roared, and the other lionesses around the wildebeest group rushed toward the wildebeest group at the same time.
As herbivores, the group of wildebeest was actually fully capable of competing with the lions, but they did not have the courage to fight. Facing the lions, they suddenly panicked, and the running formation suddenly collapsed.
This was also what the lions wanted to see, and several wildebeest were immediately pounced on by the lionesses.
Out of habit, after the lions pounced on their prey, the first target to bite was the wildebeest's throat, which was also a fatal part.
At this moment, this scene is being filmed by a camera not far away.
As one of the major migratory landscapes on the prairie, many photographers would come here to take photos during this time every year.
The thrilling journey of the wildebeest migration could really create a lot of viewership for them.
However, this job was also very dangerous.
That was because there were too many ferocious predators on the prairie. Even with a lot of protection, one could lose their life if they were not careful.
Similarly, high risk brings high returns.
Therefore, every year, there would still be many photographers who came to film documentaries or to gather materials.
At this moment, the scene of lions hunting wildebeests was the selling point they wanted to see. A few photographers crawling not far away immediately focused on filming the scene of the lions displaying their superb hunting skills.
This hunt was very fast-paced. A large number of Wildebeest escaped, but four Wildebeest were killed on the spot. The scene was thrilling, and the cameramen who captured the scene were very excited.
Because these clips could bring them fame and money.
After hunting, the female lions did not eat. Instead, they bit their prey and started to return.
As a social animal, lions were different from many other animal groups.
Although it was the female lions who went out to hunt, the female lions did not have the right to eat first. The lion guarding the territory was the leader of the pride, and only it had the right to eat first.
Only when the lion was full would it be time for the female lions to eat. The rules of eating were very strict.
At this moment, although the female lions had hunted four wildebeest and the lion would definitely not be able to finish them, the female lions still chose to bring the food back.
This was because under normal circumstances, the lion would be picky when eating and choose the delicious parts to eat. Unless there was a shortage of food, the lion would definitely satisfy his taste first. Therefore, the lion had the right to eat first for these four wildebeest.
He had a harem of three thousand beauties and even sent them out to work to support himself. In this aspect, the lion performed brilliantly.
He was like a fighter jet among scumbags!
Of course, in reality, the lion also had a heavy responsibility. It was not very easy because the lion's mission was to defend its territory, protect its tribe, and protect its descendants. There was the risk of death in every battle.
However, without the arrival of the "Old King Next Door", the lion's life was extremely comfortable in an absolutely safe situation.
At this moment, the female lions dragged the dead wildebeest and started to turn back.
Unfortunately, the direction in which the female lions turned back happened to be where the photographers were hiding.
At this moment, the photographers, who had been very happy previously, broke out in cold sweat.
Because they knew very well what the consequences would be if they were discovered.
They immediately put down the camera and crawled on the ground, hoping that something terrible would not happen.
As they got closer, the heavy breathing of the female lions could be heard clearly.
At this moment, the photographers were also extremely nervous, their hearts beating uncontrollably.
At this moment, a female lion walking in front of the team suddenly cast her sharp gaze at the weeds not far away.
Although the smell of blood in her mouth was very strong, she still smelled a different smell.
The female lion immediately put down the prey in her mouth and approached the grass pile.
As top predators, they were not afraid of any opponents on this grassland, so they were not worried about the existence of danger.
The sound of breathing gradually approached. At this moment, the few photographers crawling on the ground already had the scene of them being brutally bitten in their minds. Before it happened, they were already scared silly by their own brains.
After approaching the grass pile, the female lion sniffed hard twice, as if she was judging the location of the smell.
After confirming the location, the female lion slowly lowered her head.
Right at this moment, several loud roars suddenly came from not far away.
"Ah, wuuuuuuu!"
The female lion immediately took a step back vigilantly and turned to look in the direction of the sound. She saw a group of local natives holding wooden spears, wearing crowns on their heads, and wearing beast-tooth ornaments around their necks. They were running towards them.
At the same time as they ran towards them, the natives uttered threatening cries from their mouths.
This scene really frightened the many female lions present. They started to retreat vigilantly.
At this moment, more than twenty local natives increased their speed. Their actions were even more exaggerated and their cries were even louder.
The female lions were clearly frightened. They put down their prey and started to roar at the natives, letting out threatening roars.
However, this group of natives was clearly very experienced. Not only were they not scared off, they also roared and confronted the female lions.
Snatching food from the lion\'s mouth was a dangerous action that the local natives often did.
Hundreds of years ago, this action was for survival. Snatching the necessary meat from the lion\'s mouth was far easier than hunting by themselves.
Although it was dangerous, it could often bring them rich rewards.
However, in modern times, even the natives on the African grassland had more or less come into contact with some modern technology. Their source of food was no longer single.
Snatching food from the lion\'s mouth was more like a tribal culture and a symbol of warriors.
During the great migration season, it was also the time for the native tribes to prove their courage. They would form their own teams and perform the scene of their ancestors playing against ferocious beasts hundreds of years ago.
This was to prove their courage and also a culture to worship their ancestors.
This was just like how even now, many African cannibal tribes still had the behavior of eating humans, but they had actually given up on eating real humans. Instead, they ate plants that were made into human shapes to continue an ancient legacy.
At this moment, more than twenty tribal men raised their spears and continued to provoke the female lions.
They were betting that the female lions did not dare to resist and did not really want to fight the female lions.
Because if they really fought, they would definitely die!
After a series of roars and deterrence, as the distance closed, the natives lined up and slowed down.
The female lions were still retreating, clearly unwilling to abandon their food and leave.
The natives\ 'footsteps were very firm, suppressing the female lions in terms of aura.
Even though the female lions bared their teeth, dug the ground, and made several deterrent actions, their steps were still firm.
At this moment, a native man suddenly rushed out of the team and pounced at the female lions.
This action immediately frightened the female lions. They hurriedly abandoned their prey, turned around, and ran a few meters away.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
Realizing that he had scared the pride away, the man immediately roared excitedly.
Seeing this, his companions also approached at this moment.
At this moment, the food that originally belonged to the female lions fell into the hands of this group of natives.
However, the confrontation was not over yet. The female lions roared unwillingly and started to circle around the natives.
The natives started to pick up the stones on the ground and throw them at the female lions, wanting to scare them away.
This confrontation was undoubtedly long.
The female lions were very unfamiliar with humans, and this kind of creature was not on their prey list. The vigilance of cats made them not dare to act rashly.
The natives also used this to deal with the female lions and even took the initiative to threaten them.
In this kind of confrontation, the most important thing was aura. Otherwise, if the female lions realized that you were very weak, they would pounce on you without hesitation.
The natives were clearly very experienced in how to confront lions.
This was because this was also a skill passed down from generation to generation by their ancestors. They knew how to maximize their aura and scare the ferocious lions.
As the confrontation continued, the night gradually darkened.
Rays of light filled the sky. At this moment, the grassland had the most primitive ecological beauty.
The wind that blew over was not as bone-piercing as winter, nor as dry as autumn, nor was it as hot as the morning. Countless grass swayed in the breeze, quiet and peaceful.
However, in a corner of the grassland, the confrontation had not ended.
The unwilling female lions went forward several times, but they were still scared back.
As the night darkened, the skin of the natives was like an invisibility cloak, gradually blending into the night.
Only the white teeth that were occasionally revealed proved that there were people here.
At this moment, they lit torches.
To the female lions, the flickering flames seemed to be constantly releasing danger signals.
At this moment, the natives started to move. They took the initiative to hold the torches and started to chase the female lions away.
At this moment, an overly frightened lioness suddenly launched an attack on one of the natives.
Seeing this scene, all the natives' hearts were in their throats.
This was because as long as the female lions successfully bit their companion, it meant that the female lions knew their true strength. The consequences would be very terrifying.
At this moment, the native man who had taken the initiative to scare the lion took a step forward and let out a beast-like roar. He punched the female lion's head from the side.
This punch was powerful and heavy, causing the lioness who had just opened her mouth to tilt her head and fall to the ground. Then, she hurriedly jumped up and took a few steps back.
Seeing this scene, all the natives heaved a sigh of relief because they knew that the crisis was temporarily resolved.
The female lions were obviously also frightened by this scene. When they were chased away again, they were like frightened cats and kept retreating.
After a stalemate like this for a while, the female lions finally gave up on their prey and turned to leave.
Victory was here. All the natives raised their wooden spears and started to cheer.
However, just as they were about to drag the wildebeests back to the tribe, a few men with cameras suddenly crawled out from the haystack at the side.
At this moment, the natives who could remain calm in the face of the lions almost had a heart attack.
"Thank you very much for your help!" The few cameramen were in tears at this moment.
This feeling of escaping from death was a real experience that was far more painful and unforgettable than watching it on television or in movies.
Just now, when they thought that they would be discovered by the female lions, they even felt that they were about to suffocate.
After escaping from death, there was an indescribable excitement in their hearts.
At this moment, the man who had just punched the female lion asked curiously, "Why are you guys hiding here?"
"We are from XX TV station. We want to shoot a documentary, so we came to the prairie. We almost died just now. Thank you very much!" The leading cameraman expressed his gratitude again.
The cameramen weren't surprised that they could communicate with the natives.
This was because it was already more than 2300 years ago, so it was very normal for many aboriginal tribes to use modern technology.
"You're welcome, friend from afar!" The man replied with a grin.
"By the way, I think I saw you defeat a lion with one punch. How did you do that?" the leading cameraman asked curiously.
Before the man could explain, his companion took the lead and said, "He's the strongest warrior in our tribe. He's the Ancestral Leopard Hero, Chara!"
"Ancestral Leopard Hero?"
Through the afterglow of the torch, they saw the tattoo of a leopard on the chest of the man known as the First Warrior with some kind of paint.
This leopard didn't look crude. Instead, as its body trembled, it seemed lifelike. It was as if there really was a ferocious leopard crawling on the man's chest, adding a wild and valiant aura to the native man.
"Did you train your strength by yourself?" The photographer asked again after staring at the tattoo on the native man's chest.
"No, it was bestowed by the Ancestral Leopard!" The man replied proudly.
The cameraman was stunned for a few seconds. After thinking about it, he still nodded. He was afraid that he would be brutally beaten to death if he questioned it.
