Chapter 958: 957. Lawlessness (1/5)
Chapter 958 957. Lawlessness (15)
Li Du watched TV when he was very young, and there was a flagship program called "Animal World" on China Central Channel.
This program used to accompany many post-80s and post-90s in their childhood and teenage years, and now it has become a joke to accompany post-00s, and this joke is its opening line: spring is here, everything is recovering, and the prairie is here again. Animals mate the season...
In "Animal World", Africa is the home field, and from the TV, it seems that Africa is full of animal beasts.
But it was obviously not the case. It might be because of the winter. They drove on the grassland for an hour, far away from the tribe, and still didn't see any beasts.
During the period, they encountered some hares and birds, but the lion hunter didn't like it. He felt ashamed to hunt such animals. He wanted to take Li Du to hunt lions and leopards.
After driving for an hour, Luguan became a little impatient and asked, "Why didn't I encounter any large beasts? Isn't this normal?"
The lion hunter said leisurely: "No, this is normal, we haven't entered the hunting area yet."
There are several hunting areas set up across South Africa, which are actually called animal sanctuaries, but for the rich, this is their paradise for hunting wild animals.
Outside the protected area, most wild animals have been killed. After all, South Africa has a large population. People want to survive and walk in the wild. It is too dangerous to have large wild animals.
In the morning, the sun hung in the sky, scorching the earth.
Li Du didn't feel the breath of winter at all. After being exposed to the sun, his skin felt hot and painful soon.
Because of the season, he didn't apply sunscreen before going outside.
After driving northward for tens of minutes, a small oasis appeared. Unlike the way we came here, there were many green weeds and shrubs growing here, and a river originated from here.
Around the small oasis, some buildings were built here, and soldiers were on duty here with guns on their backs.
The lion hunter took off his sunglasses and said, "Okay, we're about to enter the hunting area, I'm going to buy a ticket, remember, keep a low profile here, don't conflict with anyone!"
Needless to say, Li Du also knew how to do it. There were many people who were about to enter the hunting area, and they carried guns with them. Arguing in this kind of place could easily lead to a shootout.
There are wild beasts living around the oasis, especially at the location of the river, and there is even a lion group living there.
Ah Meow and Ah Ao were scared when they saw the lions. The difference in size made them understand the difference in combat power between the two sides. In addition, their genes have written fear in the face of large beasts, which cannot be compensated by wisdom.
But Ali is an exception. He has been learning boxing from Brother Wolf, and has entered the growth period. His size changes day by day. Now he is full of confidence in his fighting ability and is not afraid of anything.
Ah Ao, Ah Miao, and Gan Kuan Mian lay at the window to watch the lions, while Ali jumped down and followed Li Du and his group to the front.
A male lion was lying on the bank of the river, its tail was wagging from side to side, and three or four cubs were chasing after its tail, attacking and biting constantly.
One of the cubs probably hurt the male lion with its jaw too heavy, so the male lion turned around and slapped it up, screaming and rolling over the cub.
Li Du asked strangely: "The lions are so close to people, isn't it dangerous?"
Lilikas can understand English, but he can't speak fluently: "Domestic, um, someone feeds them, um, they don't attack."
Listening to his stumbling explanation, Li Du probably understood what was going on.
The wild beasts near the oasis should be selected from the reserve and accepted by people to raise them. As long as they are full of food and drink, as long as no one provokes them, they will not provoke humans.
Leaving them is a publicity stunt for the reserve, after all, for the rich, this is a hunting place, and these beasts are for the rich to see.
There are famous African hippopotamuses in the river. They are all big. Occasionally, they climb out of the river and scare the lion cubs to turn around and run wildly.
Hippos are more terrifying beasts than lions. The premise is to provoke them. Most of the time, they are more docile. Li Du knows this, so he doesn't care about the approaching hippos.
He was looking around, when Sophie suddenly exclaimed: "God, Ali, come back!"
Li Du turned his head and saw in astonishment that Ali ran to the hippopotamus at some point.
Ali jumped up and down, looking up at the hippo curiously.
The hippopotamus probably encountered a kangaroo for the first time, and was also very curious. It looked down at it and did not show a defensive posture.
Ali is a troublemaker, I don't know what he thought, maybe because of the hippo's stare, he suddenly became angry, jumped to the side and punched the hippo's shoulder.
This is a result of boxing training, do not attack from the front, but attack from the side.
Seeing this passenger was a joy, someone laughed and said: "Ha, what a bold kangaroo."
Some people wondered: "How can there be kangaroos in Africa?"
Others cheered: "This little thing is a warrior, well done."
The hippopotamus endured the punch without changing its temper. It looked back at Ali strangely, and walked slowly with its thick, pillar-like limbs.
For it, Ali's small fists are meaningless. They often encounter such things as beating your chest with small fists. For example, the caretakers in the oasis will wash their skins, and the power is greater than this.
But Li Du was still taken aback, and said angrily, "Ali, come back quickly!"
If the hippo is provoked, Ali will die. The hippo accelerates very fast and weighs several tons. With Ali's small body, it can kill Ali with a touch of its hoof!
But Ali was very rebellious, and instead of coming back, he became even more embarrassing.
When the hippo looked back at it, it was actually startled. After all, the hippo has a big head and big eyes, and the eyeballs are about the same size as its head.
Because of their body structure, kangaroos cannot move backwards, they can only move forward.
When Hippo turned around earlier, Ali either advanced or retreated, and stood there in a daze.
Later, when it was found that the hippopotamus did not attack it, it rubbed its nose on its face, chased after it and beat the hippopotamus' buttocks: Are you scaring Lao Zhi? Taste the punch of old paper.
Hippos have thicker skin on their buttocks. Their only weak point is the chrysanthemum. Hyenas attack them from the chrysanthemum.
Normally, they would use their tails to protect the chrysanthemums, so Ali couldn't touch them, so the hippopotamus didn't care about its attacks, and still walked forward leisurely.
In this way, Ali, like beating a drum, bounced and chased after the hippo's buttocks and started beating.
Li Du was pissed off by its lawlessness, but he didn't dare to go forward for fear of provoking the hippopotamus. The hippopotamus didn't care about the wallabies because they didn't feel threatened, but they cared about humans.
There are signs everywhere in the oasis, and the most written on it is: It is strictly forbidden to approach any wild animals without permission!
