The one that appeared in front of Luo Qiao was a very aggressive black rhinoceros, slightly smaller than the white rhinoceros, but its weight of nearly two tons was still a behemoth to the cheetahs.
A newborn baby rhinoceros was standing next to its front legs, firmly protected. The black rhinoceros looked very nervous, constantly snorting, obviously on guard against something.
Parson and Jairo were still familiar with their neighbors. They knew that when rhinos raised their cubs, they rarely left the bushes in their territory. The sudden appearance of this black rhinoceros here was contrary to common sense.
Until another young rhinoceros appeared, the cheetahs found the reason.
This young rhinoceros was probably the mother rhinoceros's previous child. Once the mother rhinoceros started raising cubs, she would drive away the previous child, regardless of whether it was an adult or not.
This young rhinoceros, which was obviously not fully mature, was very attached to its mother and kept wandering around the mother rhinoceros's territory, unwilling to leave.
It would naturally be seen as a threat by the newborn cubs, and if things continued like this, a conflict would be inevitable.
The cheetahs had to leave immediately. If they stayed here any longer, they might be caught up in the rhinoceros' conflict. The mother rhinoceros was almost irrational now, and if she thought you were dangerous, she would attack without hesitation.
Jairo had already let go of Luo Sen and Luo Rui. He and Parson watched the three rhinos in the vortex together, and they had to find a suitable time to leave.
If they turned around and ran away without thinking, both rhinos might attack them. The two little cheetahs immediately ran back to Luo Qiao's side.
They saw a rhinoceros for the first time, and they were obviously scared by the rhinoceros's sturdy body and the long horn on its head. After getting the protection of their father, the attention of the two little guys quickly shifted.
Luo Rui stood next to Luo Qiao, his eyes staring at the three rhinos. After a while, he suddenly raised his head and said to Luo Qiao.
"Daddy, so much meat..."
Luo Qiao was so scared that he almost fell to the ground. He turned to look at Luo Sen, and this little cheetah obviously agreed with his brother's words. Luo Qiao's head was full of black lines. Son, you just had a full meal?
Could it be that there was something wrong with his education method? Even rhinos wanted to eat, how could this be so outrageous?
Parson and Jairo also heard Luo Rui's words. The two brothers looked at Luo Qiao together. How did he raise his child like this? By the way, was he raising a cheetah? Could it be a mutated species?
This wasn't a cheetah at all, it was clearly two greedy cats...
Luo Qiao silently turned his head away, avoiding Parson and Jairo's gaze, his tears silently flowing. He felt so sorry for his child's mother who had already passed away.
After the elephant herd left, the Oros lion pride returned to peace. The lionesses were still busy running around for the cubs all day long, and the male lions were often driven out of the house under the pretext of patrolling the territory, only returning on time for meals.
Compared to the peaceful life of the Oros lion pride, the neighboring Hosby lion pride was in trouble.

Since the Oros lion pride killed two male lions and one female lion from the Hosby lion pride, the remaining female lions took the three cubs back to the center of the territory, away from the border, to avoid revenge from the Oros lion pride and other opportunists.
But the news that the Hosby lion pride had no male lions spread quickly.
Think about it, seven healthy, strong, young and beautiful female lions, and a piece of unclaimed territory. What did that mean?
Even a stupid lion would have its eyes light up and drool. There was a bargain to be had, brothers!
Based on the supreme principle that it would be foolish not to take advantage of an opportunity, a large number of wandering male lions began to appear around the territory of the Hosby lion pride.
Other nearby lion prides also planned to take the opportunity to expand their territories, and even some female lions who had been driven out of their prides attempted to drive out the female lions of this territory and take it for themselves.
For a time, the Hosby lion pride was under siege from all sides. To make matters worse, there were three cubs in the pride, and the male lions would kill them without hesitation if they found them.
The female lions were absolutely unwilling to give up their cubs like this.
With no other choice, Zuwa, the highest-ranking female lion in the pride, and her sister Shawa, took the three cubs into a forest belt formed by a dry riverbed in the deepest part of the territory and hid.
During this period, they would try to avoid meeting other female lions. They all knew that a lion pride could not be without male lions, and some female lions had to stay.
The five female lions who stayed, two were evolved species and three were primitive species, were all related by blood, and their choices for male lions were surprisingly consistent: they had to be strong, brave, good at fighting, and most importantly, they had to be very fertile!
As for whether they were evolved species or primitive species, that was not so important. Of course, evolved species were better, and Oros was a good example.
Although the Hosby female lions had thought about bringing Oros to their pride, Oros had been with the female lions in his own pride during this time, which made it difficult for them to do so.
Besides, Tina's group of female lions was not easy to mess with. So the Hosby female lions had to settle for second best, picking and choosing among the many wandering male lions, at least they could find some that were pleasing to the eye, right?
Among these male lions who planned to occupy the territory of the Hosby lion pride, two could be considered acquaintances of Luo Qiao, Felix and Ero.
Whether it was because these two young male lions were too lucky or too unlucky, they didn't encounter the five Hosby female lions, but instead ran into the forest belt where Zuwa and Shawa were hiding with the cubs.
Philip and Ero had grown much bigger, and their manes had become thicker, but the female lions could still tell at a glance that they were not yet mature. Apart from being bigger and being evolved species, they were of no other use.
Shawa hid the cubs tightly, and stood in front of the bushes where the cubs were hiding, growling at Felix and Ero to warn them not to come any closer.
Zuwa walked out of the bushes directly, baring her fangs and claws at Felix and Ero. Her stance was very clear: no matter what these two numbskulls came here for, she and her sister had no interest! They better leave immediately!
Shawa's roar attracted the other two evolved female lions in the pride, who happened to be nearby. Looking at the lion brothers confronting Zuwa, they flicked their tails and said contemptuously, "What's the point of minors joining the fun? We're looking for men, not teenagers!"
The chaos in the Hosby lion pride's territory spread to the Oros lion pride. Although Oros seemed indifferent on the surface, he occasionally asked Tina if they should take the opportunity to expand their territory.
"Expand the territory?" Before Tina could speak, Hona had already walked over, raising her head at Oros, "Darling, are you sure you want to expand the territory, or do you want to meet the Hosby female lions, such as the beautiful Zuwa?"
Well, Oros's flirtatious image had taken root in the hearts of the female lions. They did want to expand the territory, but that didn't mean they would tolerate Oros flirting with the Hosby female lions!
Tina took back her front paw that was being bitten by the cubs, and seemingly casually extended her sharp claws, turning to look at Oros, her eyes narrowed.
And so, the proud lion king became obedient.
