Chapter 9: Crisis
After dawn.
When the little curly tail woke up, wagged his tail, and came to his brother in a hurry, he suddenly screamed "whoop", turned around and ran!
Five lionesses were awakened.
Several lion cubs also woke up confused.
When the lionesses came under the tree, they were immediately startled by the scene in front of them!
Under the big tree, a nearly five-meter-long patterned python turned its stomach and died in the grass.
Its body was intact, without any scars or blood.
However, the lower half of its mouth is gone!
And on the big tree, the little male lion, who was only six months old, was sleeping sweetly, and the hair on his mouth and neck was full of blood!
And the lower half of the python's mouth is on the branch next to him, bloody!
The five lionesses tilted their heads and looked sluggish.
Several lion cubs ran over one after another, all of them were startled by the python on the ground, and cowered and hid behind the lioness.
Meimei trembled and went straight into Xi'er's crotch.
The small curly tail is much bolder.
Although this kid was startled when he saw this python for the first time, but now, he was bold enough to lean over, and even stretched out his little paws to slap the python's dead head.
The smell of blood from the anaconda irritates the hungry lioness.
Although the five lioness don't know how this python was bitten off by the lion cub and died, this did not prevent them from having a small snack to fill their hungry stomachs.
Although this python is not too big, it has a long body and is full of meat, enough for every lioness to eat a few bites.
While the male lion was away, the five lionesses immediately feasted on it.
Several lion cubs stood aside, not daring to step forward.
Only the little curly tail went up and bit the bloody snake's tail, and then immediately spit it out, with a look of disgust.
It should be that I can't get used to eating this meaty thing.
Lions generally don't eat snakes, and they don't actively provoke snakes unless they're too hungry.
In less than a moment.
A whole python was eaten by five lionesses.
However, the stomach was not full.
Also feed the lion cubs.
The male lion also has to come back to eat after patrolling the territory.
So, the lionesses are going out hunting.
Originally, I was going to continue to leave the blind Xi'er behind to take care of the lion cub, after all, she looked very injured yesterday and was almost dying.
However, Ciel insisted on hunting.
She even ran a few times and jumped a few times in front of the four lionessess to show that she could.
She didn't want her partner and her daughter to look down on her.
At last.
Aisha stayed.
She was injured in her front leg while hunting last night.
Although by this time, the wound had healed, and I didn't feel the slightest pain.
After the four lionesses left.
Aisha lifted her injured front leg, looked at it carefully, and licked it a few times, which seemed strange.
When I was injured before, I couldn't get better so quickly.
"Whew!"
Little Curly Tail raised his head and shouted at Chu Xiaoye in the big tree, wanting his brother to come down and play with him.
However, Chu Xiaoye crawled on the branches and did not move.
I almost ran out of energy last night, and now I'm very tired.
He's going to sleep.
Aisha looked up for a moment, thought for a moment, and then lay down under the big tree, leaning her neck and looking warily at the seven lion cubs around her.
Seeing that his brother ignored him, Curly Tail began to sprint towards the tree, trying to climb up to wake him up.
But after several attempts, he gave up halfway.
Meimei also began to sprint.
The first time it failed.
The second time, I rushed up at once!
However, as soon as the little lioness stood firm on the branches, she suddenly saw the mouth of the half-cut python, and immediately screamed in fright, almost falling from the tree, and her whole body trembled!
Chu Xiaoye was woken up by her, she didn't pity the jade, slapped her on the head, then got up, climbed up the higher branches, and continued to sleep.
Meimei was frightened by the mouth of the half-cut python, and saw that his mouth was full of blood, and his appearance was hideous, where did he dare to stay on the tree, and immediately retreated from the tree tremblingly.
Unconvinced, Little Curly Tail continues to sprint towards the big tree not to be outdone!
Finally, he climbed up.
When he saw the mouth of the half python on the branch, in order to show off in front of Meimei, he bit it in his mouth, deliberately lowered his head, and chewed it with relish at Meimei, who was still trembling under the tree.
Meimei didn't dare to look any further, turned around and ran, jumping on the small tree next to her.
Little Curly Tail is very proud.
Although I felt a little disgusting, I still ate half of the python's mouth into my stomach.
"Whew!"
He tilted his head and shouted a few times at Chu Xiaoye above his head, but he didn't get any response.
Just as he was about to continue to climb up, Chu Xiaoye suddenly spread his hind legs and peed directly on the tree.
The urine rattled and spilled precisely onto the little curly-tailed head.
Little Curly Tail was suddenly startled and angry, hurriedly shook his head, retreated from the big tree, and ran to his mother's side to complain.
Urine spilled from the tree.
Aisha also hurriedly got up, moved some distance into the distance, raised her head, and glanced at the tree with a helpless expression.
On the small tree, Meimei cocked her tail and jumped around, with a gloating expression.
The little curly tail is going up and beating her.
Meimei immediately stopped on the first branch and didn't let him go up.
The one-year-old male lion lar brought the other lion cubs over to play with the little curly tails.
Curly Tail ignored the big brother and walked away arrogantly, going to fight the little bugs in the grass by himself.
Ral looked at Meimei in the tree, and suddenly thought of yesterday's danger.
Yesterday, when the hyenas came to attack, the little lioness climbed the little tree at once, and he, as the eldest brother, could not climb it.
If he hadn't been climbed up with his head by his half-brother, he would have been eaten by hyenas.
Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at the sleeping boy on the big tree next to him, secretly grateful and admired.
"No, as the eldest brother, how can I be weaker than the other younger brothers?"
He immediately called out to his younger siblings behind him and asked them to follow him and practice climbing trees.
At the critical moment, if you want to survive, you still have to rely on yourself!
Thereupon.
The group of lions began to practice climbing trees.
Yesterday's vicious hyenas scared them terribly.
Or safe in the trees.
Chu Xiaoye also thought the same way before.
However, after he experienced last night's nightmare, he realized that neither on nor under the tree would be absolutely safe.
Only if you are strong, you are the safest!
"Whew-"
With a low roar, the lion paced back majestically.
Aisha quickly stood up and rubbed his head flatteringly, only to be met with a cold gaze and an impatient roar.
The male lion is hungry.
He ate the most yesterday, and he didn't exercise too much, so he could have managed it for a few more days.
However, the abundant rainy season and the abundant food brought by him have already raised his mouth.
He was used to fresh flesh and blood every day.
Aisha looked into the distance, secretly worried.
Last night the four lionesses ran a long way to find their prey, and after chasing for a long time, without success, they only caught a small warthog.
I don't know if Xi'er and the others will be able to return with a full load today.
If they fail again, they will be angry with their king.
And their children will also go hungry.
Hopefully, the rainy season can be extended and the dry season won't come so soon.
After all, their children are still young and need plenty of food to feed.
Even though it was morning, the air was still hot.
The male lion lies on the dirt slope, looking majestically at the grassland in the distance, waiting for the lioness to return from the hunt.
on the big tree.
Chu Xiaoye was still sleeping sweetly.
