"Hoo, Beiyuan! Is that a rhinoceros there?"

Najib climbed up a step hard, stepped on the branches with his feet, hugged the trunk tightly with one hand, and looked forward through the shade of the tree, with bright eyes: "Is it quarreling with the elephant?"

"It should just be a matter of blocking the road."

Beihara and Feng looked up in the direction of the sound, only to see the boy's brightly colored clothes. Holding the cat in his arms that seemed to be getting more and more clingy in the past few days, he said with a smile: "But

If you climb so high, be careful of being pecked by birds."

There is a heron's nest on the tree. These beautiful and elegant waterbirds have spent the breeding season in May and have built various large and small nests on the tree. Some of the chicks have hatched and are being watched with vigilance by their parents.

Watching it, you can easily get pecked several times if you get close casually.

"It's okay. I saw the heron's nest. It's still several branches away from it."

Najib was not afraid at all. He raised his head and looked at the water birds flying in the sky, and then looked at the cattle egrets and groups of pelicans standing gracefully by the river. He simply found a more stable one.

He sat down on the branch, shook his legs and started humming.

"The sun sets like molasses

Snow-white birds fly to the snow-white sunshine

There are many, many animals running around

Galenseti——

Why are they chasing the direction of the rain..."

It's a very free and loose tune. When I sing it, I don't know how to edit the lyrics and it turns into a random hum. But it sounds very nice. With the rhythmic sound of accessories swinging around, it actually sounds like it.

A decent song.

Najib sang almost as if he was amusing himself. When he got tired of singing, he stopped and looked into the distance with his eyes that always seemed to be full of brightness and curiosity.

"So many wildebeests," he muttered.

Indeed, many wildebeest are running towards here, and large swaths of smoke are rising in the sky. It can be seen that they are basically a team of the Great Migration.

A few days ago, the fastest zebras that came during the Great Migration have come here to rest. While showing off their dazzling black and white stripes, they barked "woof" like Erha and plowed the nearby grass.

He walked over before leaving.

So the next ones are the wildebeest herd and the gazelle herd. Zebras can trim off the uneven grass blades, wildebeests like to eat grass stems, and gazelles rely on the grass clippings left by the first two as food.

.

During the dry season, every herbivore must maximize the use of resources in order to survive. This combination of eating three grasses is also a helpless move.

The African buffalo herd seemed to notice the tremors of the earth, so they submerged themselves into the clear green lake water, spitting out "Gululu" foam one after another, and got together affectionately to rely on each other.

The rhinoceros glanced around, and after a tense confrontation with the female elephants for a while, they left in disgrace and planned to find a quiet place to continue grazing.

Scheherazade poked her head out from behind the tree and ran out, wanting to chat with the elephant group: every time she met a group of elephants, she would get together, regardless of whether the other person was willing or not.

Accepting her may just mean that you want to have more contact with your own kind.

Elephants are affectionate animals, and perhaps it was the sight of elephants of all sizes living together that triggered her memories of her life before her family was broken up.

"Scheherazade looks very happy."

Najib tilted his head and his voice became cheerful: "She used to be very shy. She would hide in my arms when she saw people."

Najib still remembers when he first met a baby elephant.

The little guy was crying at the time, screaming "chichi" in fear, with tears falling from his brown eyes. He stood dazed and helpless in the forest, with blood from his family on his body.

Who can bear the tears of a baby elephant?

At least Najib felt he couldn't accept it.

So he reached out and touched the child, took it to bathe in the lake, and brought it back to Egypt from the Congo rainforest with this child.

The little guys depend on each other for life.

It gets scared when it hears human voices. When it hears the ubiquitous gunshots in the Congo at night, the whole elephant huddles up and trembles next to him. Later, it gradually doesn’t like to go out, although it is still the same when facing him.

A lively little girl, but very autistic.

——So it’s great to be so happy now.

Najib shook his legs and looked at his little sister who ran out to make friends, with a smile on his face and his dark brown eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, filled with light from the celestial body.

"yes."

Beiyuan and Feng looked over, with a hint of smile flashing in their eyes, and said in a brisk tone: "If nothing else, I think it has gained a lot of exercise and appetite during its time on the grassland."

"She is a girl. Kitahara, Scheherazade will definitely be angry when you say that!"

Najib burst out laughing, and the accessories on his body began to jingle again, making a messy but pleasant sound.

Kitahara and Kaede caressed the lazy Buster in their arms, smiled and coughed, pretending that they didn't say yes just now, and turned their heads to the side, as if they had been watching the rhinoceros confronting the elephant just now.

.

The black cat was still half asleep, dreaming about grilled fish and delicious fish fillet rice. In the dream, Kitahara and Kaede became the high priests of the goddess Bastet, and he could eat a ton of grilled fish every day.

, emptied the entire Nile River... and then was chased by Elise with a staff.

"Mi!"

She suddenly opened her eyes, and the hair on her back stood up in fear. She stared blankly at the leaves around her, feeling as if her brain had stopped thinking.

Scared! Why did you have such a terrifying dream?

The cat goddess stared at her dangling tail with some suspicion for a while, and finally lay back down under Kitahara and Kaede's timely caress and comfort. She stretched out her paws to pull the scarf that Kitahara and Kaede had draped on her body.

, got together again and took a nap.

Forget it, it shouldn't matter. Elise doesn't dare to come after her. She will be condemned by the Egyptian Cat Lovers Association, so she won't have any followers!

Kitahara and Kaede glanced down at the cat swaying in their arms, blinked in confusion, and finally took the initiative to make a small nest for each other to crawl into, and continued to look at the rhinoceros while holding it.

It behaved very quietly, walking alone towards the far end of the grassland, appearing somewhat alone among the groups of herbivores, as if it was deliberately keeping a distance from those animals.

This is a black rhinoceros with gray-white skin and the most obvious nasal bone protrusion among rhinoceroses - its horn length is simply daunting compared to white rhinoceros, Sumatran rhinoceros, and Indian rhinoceros.

Of course, there is a more convenient way to identify black rhinos in Africa: because there are no other rhinos in East Africa, the other white rhinoceros has been officially declared extinct in the wild, and only a few are kept in captivity, so the ones you see

Basically all are black rhinoceros.

"This big guy is a critically endangered animal."

Kitahara and Kaede watched for a while, then suddenly said: "The West African subspecies of black rhinoceros has become extinct. Only the East African subspecies, the Southeast African subspecies, and the named subspecies can still be seen in this land."

"Is it because of poaching?"

Najib sniffed the smell in the air, puffed up his face and complained softly: "I hate those poachers the most..."

In fact, most wild rare animals are allowed to purchase shares and carry out planned and controlled killing. But poaching is completely different.

The five most difficult animals to hunt in Africa are known as the Big Five, namely the lion, the African buffalo, the rhinoceros, the African elephant, and the leopard.

But even the five major African beasts can only fall without resistance in the face of human large-caliber guns.

If the challenge posed by professional hunters to wild animals is a struggle between man and nature, a life-and-death battle between wisdom, strength and luck, then the poaching team is a complete massacre of wild animals.

Cold, efficient, and powerful. Just like an industrial production assembly line, it has outstanding efficiency. It only needs machine guns to continuously sweep

If you shoot, you can kill a herd of elephants in a short time.

Especially during the Great Migration in Africa, large numbers of herbivores gathered and brought carnivores with them. As long as you spent some time tracking them, you could kill lions and leopards in large numbers. Zebra skins and antelope horns could also be sold at good prices.

"We have to be careful recently. There are quite a few poachers in the Serengeti. Even considering the increasing number of tourists these days, they will take risks during the great migration of animals."

Kitahara and Kaede picked up the cat, tilted their heads, and thought about how to take the sleeping cat down, while still saying:

"What's more, since we are not on the regular tourist routes, the possibility of encountering them is even greater."

"Then I will protect Beiyuan."

Najib was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled, showing two rows of white teeth. He raised his head without fear and said in a proud tone:

"Those poachers in the Congo rainforest were scared of me, and I gave them a good lesson - it seemed that I used my powers. Well, I forgot what my powers were, but I will use them when the time comes.

I will definitely think of it when the time comes!”

Najib doesn't care much about his own powers. After all, if he can't remember something, it means it's probably not as important as he thought.

And he lives a happy life even if he doesn't have powers. He doesn't like fighting anyway. What he likes is to bury himself in those cute creatures. What he likes is to throw all the rules behind and do what he wants.

things.

Beiyuan and Feng tilted their heads slightly and just smiled.

Occasionally, when he opened his eyes and stared at the stars blooming like flowers in the sky, he could also see the brilliance of Najib's supernatural powers - a very faint, dreamlike light, flowing like mist.

Perhaps even the owner did not remember it. The light was not very bright, but it still gave people a vague sense of beauty that was completely different from the world around them.

Like a star hidden by a curtain.

Dudu yelled that it was not time to play yet, so he curled up in his quilt willfully, just opened his eyes and looked at everything outside dimly.

Along with a rustling sound, a heron landed at its nest. It stretched its neck and looked at the human sitting next to it for a few times, then did not continue to care, and just fed the food in its mouth bit by bit.
To be continued...
