The upper and lower limits for crocodiles are quite outrageous. For example, the alligator, a specialty of flower growers, is something you don't need to panic when you encounter it when you are washing clothes by the Yangtze River. Just tap it with a laundry mallet a few times to make it panic.

Ran away in panic.

As for the Nile crocodile...

This largest crocodile in Africa is undoubtedly aggressive and dangerous. The number of people killed by it every year is often three digits. On the African grasslands, it can be evenly matched with male lions.

If they are in a swamp, they can even forcefully hunt hippos and elephants. You can imagine how difficult it is for wildebeests to cross the river safely.

A crocodile swung its tail lazily and swept a pile of bones into the river, causing a large group of crocodiles to think it was time to eat. They all rushed to put their heads out of the water and started tearing apart with splashes.

The white bones, at a glance, look like the water is beginning to boil.

"Moo——"

"Moo! Moo!"

The wildebeests on the riverside were calling each other loudly, their posture seemed a little uneasy, but in the end they stood firm and wandered around, as if they wanted to attract the attention of the crocodiles.

This is the breakthrough they finally found after a day-long observation. The water flow is relatively narrow, not very fast, and there is less space to accommodate the crocodiles. It would be better if it could be diverted away.

However, crocodiles that have lived for decades are not vegetarians. They have long learned to remain calm in the wind and rain. After a brief commotion, they sank again. Even the crocodiles on the shore swam in quickly with their short legs.

Into the water.

The wildebeests gathered together and made low-pitched chatter and exchange sounds with each other. The zebras took the initiative to get close to test it out, and were almost bitten by the crocodile. They spread their hooves and ran a long distance away.

At this time, a group of female lions and a group of spotted hyenas also arrived. The two groups of carnivores looked at each other fearfully and chose to keep a certain distance.

Although a spotted hyena is no match for a lion on its own, as long as there are three or five spotted hyenas, even a female lion cannot defeat it. Only a male lion can save the defeat.

The Grumiti River is an excellent hunting spot for carnivores: there are obstacles from the river and Nile crocodiles in front, and they are outflanked from behind. As long as the opponent hesitates a little, they can easily squeeze through so many

The alliance of animals eats several delicious meals.

The two groups at the top of the food chain in the African savanna have made plans to fight a coordinated battle in front of this rare opportunity and attack from both sides.

However, they had a tacit understanding and avoided the direction of Kitahara and Kaede. Kitahara and Kaede were a little curious about this. After eating their own biscuits and taking a sip of milk, they couldn't help but look in the direction of Kitahara and Kaede.

Cat on the roof of the car.

"Meow?" The black cat seemed to notice his gaze and turned around to take a look. Its long tail was slightly raised, as if it was waiting for praise.

Lions are cats, and spotted hyenas are also cat-type suborders, so this goddess can solve them. Are there any problems?

The wildebeests were unaware of the coming crisis and were still waiting with the patience unique to herbivores. At the same time, the old wildebeests surrounded the young wildebeests who had just grown up, crowded together to form a square array, and moved together to

On a high slope.

Generally speaking, wildebeest will first explore the way for the large group, and after success, they will be ready to sprint down. And there is a hillside after crossing the river ahead...

"There's a leopard there."

Najib frowned slightly and suddenly spoke with a somewhat worried tone. He put down the telescope in his hand and apparently saw the graceful body composed of golden fur and dark spots that flashed among the dense bushes.

"It seems there will be trouble crossing the river this time."

Beiyuan and Feng also frowned, looked at the wildebeest below, and sighed slightly: "But we can't do anything to help, we can only let them carry it on their own."

In a real sense, there are wolves in front and tigers behind, and there are several vultures circling repeatedly in the sky waiting for food. All the animals are thinking about how to cut a piece of meat from this group of animals.

Pity? Pity.

But when humans face nature, they must know that certain places are beyond their control.

Two old wildebeests stood out and walked solemnly towards the Grumiti River. Neither the spotted hyena nor the lion made a move - they had bigger goals.

When there were still dozens of meters left, the herd of wildebeests began to accelerate and sprint, running forward without hesitation, and in a few seconds they entered the shimmering turbid river water.

Several crocodiles thrust their tails in the water, jumped up under the cover of the water, opened their terrifying upper and lower jaws, and bit hard——

It came to nothing.

The wildebeest ducked to the side in a well-prepared manner, and made an incredible change in its original straight-line sprint. After completing the turn, it almost jumped up again, escaping the attack of the second crocodile.

Landed on the other side.

Then the third crocodile almost bit its tail and pounced on it, but was kicked backwards hard and hit its teeth. It closed its mouth a little slower and was able to escape.

Of course, this wildebeest was relatively lucky. With its very beautiful countermeasures and dexterous reactions that were beyond its size, it successfully escaped the successive dangers of death. When another wildebeest took off, it was swept away by the tail of a crocodile at the bottom of the river.

Suddenly, his body fell down unsteadily, and he could only become a meal for these water overlords.

Soon, after the crocodile rolled over to death, the wildebeest had been completely disemboweled, and the blood stains continued to spread, dyeing a small area of ​​water that was originally silvery in the sun red.

The other wildebeest luckily escaped and ran almost quickly uphill, trying to avoid the pursuit of the crocodiles on the riverbank as much as possible.

But just when it was about to reach the top of the slope, the crown of a nearby tree swayed slightly, and a figure with golden fur jumped down from above. The claws gave a heavy blow to the spine with the huge impact and weight.

The leopard at the top of the food chain held down its prey and looked across the river with a cold gaze, which for a moment made the originally hopeful wildebeest group make a lot less noise.

Fortunately, the leopard was not too greedy. He knew that the wildebeest was enough for him to eat, so he quickly dragged the wildebeest carcass away from this place, and it seemed that he had no intention of coming back.

Najib looked at this scene and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something. But in the end, he just said in a somewhat reluctant tone: "At least they have one less danger to face?"

Although...this reduction in danger comes at the expense of a life that should have been lived.

Kitahara and Kaede didn't answer.

He just stared at the river with some sadness, letting the wind around him blow his eyelashes with the cool morning air, and the light beige scarf raised slightly in the air.

"Actually, the wildebeests will also cross the Mara River when they return with their newborn calves in the second year."

The traveler raised his eyes and blinked gently at the distant sun, as if he had calmed down all the emotions in his body. He stretched out his hand to hold the cat in his arms, and his voice was as gentle as usual.

.

Buster seemed to realize something, stretched out his paws and hugged the traveler tightly, rarely making a sound.

"At that time, they will prevent the wildebeest from trying to cross the river where there are no crocodiles. Because in this way, the wildebeest will lose the courage to face the crocodiles when facing the river the next year."

When Kitahara and Kaede talked about this, their tone was more like telling a story with a sense of the times, and they told it in a leisurely manner: "For the wildebeest group, not having a river is death."

The wildebeests were still hesitant, but the spotted hyenas and lions had already launched attacks from both sides, cutting off the wildebeests' retreat. In panic, the wildebeests also began to work hard to fight against the enemy.

But this time, the predators will not just bump into it. What they will do is to harass and intimidate the wildebeests so that they will have no way out and rush down.

"And the wildebeest can successfully cross the river every time. This is not for other reasons. Most of the time it's just..."

Kitahara and Kaede hesitated for a moment, then looked at the wildebeest herd that was finally panicked by these dangerous animals, and said softly: "Feed the crocodiles, and the river will fill up."

Nile crocodiles also have extreme appetites. Even a moderately wide river can pave a path of flesh and blood under enough wildebeest carcasses. At that time, the crocodiles will have no way to escape and attack.

The wildebeest herd rushed over with the rare cooperation of lions and spotted hyenas, and from time to time they were harassed and attacked by these animals. The smell of blood filled the air for a while, and miserable wailing sounds echoed throughout the river.

.

Finally, the first old wildebeest stumbled and fell to the ground amid the chaos of repeated dodging.

As a result, the other wildebeest had no time to turn and looked at it uncontrollably: Next came the second one, the third one...

Even in the human world, stampedes and falls caused by huge panic can kill people, let alone a wildebeest that runs so fast and has such a large tonnage?

This panic, which was almost piled up, caused many wildebeests to fall down. Even many wildebeests that were squeezing into the river fell under the crocodile's offensive, blocking the way of more wildebeests. Large areas of blood were shed.

It rotted and bloomed like a flower, carrying minced meat and fluttering bones, with constant splashes of water and whines.

What is the journey to heaven?

Use corpses as bridges, use death as ship bones, and finally walk over the dense bones and corpses.

Arrive at a place that carries a group’s dream of survival.

Under the protection of the old wildebeest, the young wildebeest crossed the shallow river on the bodies that were still warm and ran uphill, making bursts of painful neighing. Many of them had wounds.

The wildebeest seemed to have used up all its strength when rushing upwards, and collapsed when it reached a safe place.

The lions and spotted hyenas were feasting on the food on the river bank, with the corners of their mouths stained red with blood. Several spotted hyenas wanted to grab more young wildebeest meat and barked at a lioness.

More and more wildebeests crossed the river, and in the end, the crocodiles didn't even bother to attack them. But their steps were still fast and nervous, as if there were ghosts standing on their heels.

The brilliance of the morning glow has faded, leaving only the snow-white sunshine

Shooting at these corpses gradually losing color in the water.

The surviving wildebeest screamed mournfully and regrouped, looking back at the area where countless compatriots had been buried.

Then run forward and never look back.

run.

Wildebeests spend almost most of their lives running.

They are born when their mother is running, start running within ten minutes after birth, catch up with the migration of large groups within a day or two, run across the Grutimi and Mara rivers, and run to avoid lions and hyenas.

They can only survive in this cruel world by sacrificing their companions and by constantly escaping. The so-called freedom of vegetarians is nothing but a joke not worth mentioning in the eyes of carnivores.

"But at least they're still alive."

Beihara and Feng touched Najib's head and said softly, staring into the distance.
