Evening.

The sun hasn't set yet.

On the yellow grassland, the temperature is still scorching, and the heat is unbearable.

However, Chu Xiaoye couldn't wait.

He left the camp alone and walked towards the rocky hill in the distance.

Until it is confirmed that Maya and the two lion cubs are really dead, he will never give up.

Father Leng and the lioness were both injured, and it was impossible for them to go out and go out again.

Mimi needs to take care of the little curly-tails.

Only Catherine, silently following him.

From last night until noon, she had been running around the rocky hill to search, and she was already exhausted.

However, she still stubbornly followed him, no matter how he drove away the threat, she just didn't leave.

The grassland in the distance, as far as the eye can see.

But there was only yellow grass, flying dust, and hot air.

Herbivores that once swarmed have long since disappeared.

Some die, some migrate.

And the carnivores that remain can only struggle with hunger and thirst.

They don't have large groups, they don't have the stamina to travel long distances, and they can't beat competitors in other realms.

Those who occupy the best territory have more strength and groups.

The Leng Father Lion Pack and the Seno Lion Pack, each with only one adult male lion and five lionesses, belong to the weakest lion group.

As for other large lion packs, some have more than a dozen, or even dozens of members, among them, there are even as many as five or six adult male lions in those super lion packs.

Whoever dares to enter their territory will be doomed.

As for the other carnivores, they also have their own territorial divisions, and competitors of the same kind are never allowed to enter.

So, they had to stay here and wait for the rainy season to come and the herbivores to return.

If they are lucky, their group will slowly grow, and then, slowly, expand their territory, and even, become a powerful group, occupying the most advantageous territory.

However, Chu Xiaoye did not have too extravagant ideals for his lions.

He only hopes that every member can live and be safe.

Of course, in this cruel grassland, this hope is already very luxurious.

He just wants to rely on his limited strength to help this lion group as much as possible and survive every difficulty.

He didn't want to give up on any of the members.

Maya has only lost her children for a short time, and this time she finally gave birth to two more children, and nothing must happen.

He quickened his pace.

The wound is a little itchy, and it should be growing flesh.

The pain is gone, though.

The heat flow in the body seems to be moisturizing and repairing those wounds all the time.

He recovered quickly.

Without the claws, it doesn't matter.

His sharp teeth are still sharp!

If those damned hyenas dare to harm Maya and lion cubs, he will let them be completely wiped out, even if he chases them all over the grassland!

Under the scorching sun, the rocky hill is hot and difficult to stand on.

He climbed down the low bushes to the rocky patch and found the cave where the Maya once produced.

It was empty, and there was still some smell of her and the lion cubs.

However, there was no blood in the vicinity.

Catherine followed, leading him to the hillside not far away.

On the ground there, hyena feces and some hair remained.

Chu Xiaoye walked around the hillside and found no other useful traces.

Since Catherine had already searched all over the place, it was useless to look for it any longer.

He decided to go to the hyena's camp to have a look.

Catherine silently followed behind him, like his shadow, without any hesitation or pause wherever she went.

When the sun sets.

They came to the hyena camp.

However, this meadow, where many hyenas were once stationed, is no longer there.

The ground was covered with caves, and the caves were empty.

Apparently, the hyena pack has moved away.

Chu Xiaoye's heart was heavy, he raised his head and looked at the vast grassland where night fell, not knowing where to look.

He already had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Usually, after the lioness gives birth to a cub, every few days, she will take the initiative to change places with the cub in her mouth, so as not to be sniffed by other carnivores and tracked her.

However, due to the drag of the lion cubs, they could not go far, and most of them were not far away, looking for new caves again.

And now, Catherine had searched the neighborhood, but she couldn't find them.

Well, it's bad.

Chu Xiaoye searched aimlessly on the grassland, and unknowingly, entered the territory of the Seno lion group.

It seems that Seno has not come to mark the territory for a long time, and the residual smell of the lion on the ground, if any, is very faint.

He hesitated, but walked in.

At this moment, in a low bush not far away, there was a sudden roar, and the voice was full of anger!

There seem to be two lions, fighting fiercely.

Chu Xiaoye was stunned for a moment, then immediately quickened his pace and ran over.

Catherine followed.

After coming closer, Chu Xiaoye suddenly saw a familiar figure!

It's the vanished Maya!

At this time, one of the lionesses of the Senol group is fighting with Maya frantically, and it seems that she has an uncommon hatred, all of which is desperately biting!

Maya was a little invincible, and retreated again and again.

When she saw Chu Xiaoye and Catherine, she hurriedly turned around and ran over.

The lioness still didn't give up, roaring angrily as she frantically chased after her.

"Whoosh-"

Without waiting for Chu Xiaoye to speak, Catherine rushed forward, crossed Maya, and grabbed the lioness head with a paw!

The lioness was caught off guard, her body was crooked, and she fell to the ground with blood on her head.

She struggled to her feet from the ground, glanced at Catherine with fear, still screaming angrily at Maya, her eyes full of hatred.

Outside the low bush beside it, on the bloody ground, lay the corpse of a lion cub, half eaten by itself.

And on Maya's mouth, it was stained with blood.

The lion cub was not Maya's child.

Maya stood behind Chu Xiaoye, lowered her head, licked her mouth, and faced the roar of the lioness, she didn't dare to respond, and she seemed to be a little weak-hearted.

Her eyes were glazed, her stomach was shriveled, and she was visibly hungry.

Chu Xiaoye's heart was shocked, and he seemed to understand something.

When Catherine's eyes were cold, and she was about to pounce on the lioness, he hurriedly barked at her.

Then, turn around and leave silently.

Maya glanced at him, immediately lowered her head, and followed behind.

The lioness was covered in blood and trembling, still standing there screaming, looking sad and desperate.

Catherine gave her an indifferent look and turned away.

"Whew-"

At this time, with a roar, Seno hurried over with the other four lionesses.

Catherine's eyes froze, and she quickened her pace to protect the figure.

However, Seno, who was originally murderous, suddenly stopped not far away, his eyes were frightened, and he didn't dare to come again.

Chu Xiaoye glanced at him and left quickly.
