Chapter 59: The Lion Invades

The riverside is dangerous.

The hot weather, the lack of food, and the dwindling water source make all the animals more and more irritable.

The hippos migrating from the lower reaches are bullying the crocodiles again.

In order to occupy more of the river, the hippopotamus, led by the leader, began to attack the crocodiles.

The already muddy river is even more muddy at this time, and it is chaotic.

The crocodiles had to swallow their anger again and continue to move upstream, giving up territory to the hippos.

However, with the onset of the dry season and the continued decline of the river, sooner or later war would break out again.

And in order to continue to survive, the crocodiles have to desperately hold on to the last piece of water.

Riverside.

Several zebras, fighting for a place to drink water, also took place.

Their weapons of battle are powerful hind legs and mouths, and in addition to kicking, they are biting each other's legs.

Many zebras die because they are bitten on the leg and unable to run during a fight with their own kind, and are hunted by carnivores.

The competition is always there.

Two strong male gazelles, not knowing whether they were fighting for territory or for mate, launched a battle directly by the river full of predators.

Their tempers are particularly short-tempered, and every time they sprint, they use a desperate posture and stir up dust.

The pair of slender and sharp horns on the head made a crisp crashing and grinding sound.

Their luck is bad.

In a violent collision, the two pairs of slender horns were pinned together and could no longer be separated.

The two gazelles stood in place like this, with their heads down, you retreat and I advance, I advance and you retreat, back and forth, extremely anxious, but helpless.

At this time, several stray hyenas saw the opportunity and ran over.

Without hesitation, they immediately pounced on the back of one of the gazelles and began to bite ferociously.

The gazelle tried to escape, but could not move.

The other gazelle could only stare in horror, lower its head, and retreat with difficulty.

Several hyenas moved with them as they bit and chewed.

In a short time, the gazelle was eaten with only a head and half a neck!

The other gazelle, at last, raised its head, and ran away quickly against the bloody head of its companion.

A few hyenas, who were well fed, did not go in pursuit again.

Their eyes were on the three lionesses and the four cubs by the river.

Chu Xiaoye finished drinking the water, and also turned his head and looked at them.

Little Curly Tail bared his fangs directly, and his mouth let out a fierce roar, and his eyes looked at them defiantly and contemptuously.

Several hyenas looked at him and turned to leave.

They are too few to pose a threat to these lionesses and nurses.

They have wandered from elsewhere and are trying to join the hyena herd in the territory.

When the time comes, come back to these old enemies and get to know each other well.

The vicious underwater killers have been driven up by the hippopotamus herd, and the place where the lions drink is now occupied by the hippopotamus herd.

These behemoths, which even crocodiles are afraid of, will not take the initiative to attack lions under normal circumstances.

So, Aisha and Ciel took the lion cubs and drank with peace of mind.

Chu Xiaoye could clearly feel the exhaustion of the three lionesses and the worry in their eyes.

At their age, they naturally spend a lot of dry seasons.

The dry season is undoubtedly the most difficult and dangerous season of life for the animals on the grassland.

And for the lion cubs, it is even more brutal.

Many lion cubs die of starvation or thirst during the dry season.

They don't have the stamina and physical strength of adult lions, can't travel too far, and can't compete with adult lions.

Many times, even if the lionesses catch their prey, they can't eat it.

When food is scarce, whether it is a lioness or a male lion, out of animal instinct, they will only fill their stomachs first and keep themselves alive.

Therefore, at this moment, when they felt that the dry season had come, and the cruel and merciless power of nature was about to descend on this grassland, the mood of the three lionesses was extremely heavy and anxious.

If the lions are strong enough, they can leave their territory and continue their upward migration with the river.

However, their lions are not strong.

In the upper reaches of the river, there are more powerful lions, and if they dare to enter each other's territory and rob each other of food resources, then they will pay a heavy price.

Even, a catastrophe!

So, they can only stay here for the time being.

Perhaps, this dry season is not long.

If you stick to it, you can still get through it.

With this in mind, the three lionesses finished their water and left with their cubs.

Chu Xiaoye's mouth was filled with water.

He will not resign himself to fate, nor will he wait stupidly, or pray for the alms and mercy of God and nature.

He wants to try to live in his own way.

Aisha glanced at what was in his mouth, and although it was strange, it didn't stop it.

She thought that this son was just playful.

And little Capuly and Meimei also don't understand their brother's behavior.

What's so fun about this, it's not fun to hold something in your mouth and you can't even scream, it's not fun at all.

However, whatever my brother does, they will support.

As for Catherine, who followed behind, she still secretly looked at her hero with admiration.

Even now, her hero is playing with the urine bag of her prey.

"Whew-"

As soon as I walked up the hillside, on the grassland not far from the habitat of the lions, there were suddenly two roars of male lions!

A stray lion has invaded!

Father Leng ran over, ready to fight!

Lal and Kelly and Maya, who were pregnant, also ran after him.

Instead of helping, they stopped on the prairie and watched nervously.

Aisha immediately ran over with two lionesses and four cubs.

The battle between the two male lions is related to the life and death of the lion cubs in the lion pack.

Father Leng doesn't seem to have eaten in the past two days, if he loses because of his physical strength, then the entire lion pack will usher in the most terrible change!

Chu Xiaoye held a water bag in his mouth, with a small curly tail and Meimei, followed behind the three lionesses, secretly crying bitterly in his heart.

Saliva kept running down the corners of his mouth, but the water bag in his mouth could not be put down.

Without hands, it's troublesome to hold something.

He followed his mother, stopped, raised his head, and looked at the grassland not far away.

A stray male lion with a lush mane and a black color was roaring defiantly at Father Leng.

It can be seen from the color of his mane that he is now in the period of strength, and his male hormones are extremely strong, and his strength should not be underestimated.

Father Leng looked solemn, his mouth showed fangs, and he let out an angry and vicious roar, and pounced without hesitation!

The dry season is coming.

He must not lose his territory and the lions!

Otherwise, only death awaits him!

The five lionesses stood in place, staring apprehensively at his galloping figure.

Whether it is Aisha and the others, who have not yet grown up, or Kelly and Maya, who are pregnant, at this moment, they are all frightened and uneasy.

Whether their children can survive depends on whether their king can successfully repel the invaders.

Chu Xiaoye watched the battle of the two lions with burning eyes, then turned his head and glanced at Laer.

There was no reaction from Ral.

His gaze was filled with fear and trepidation, as if he was waiting for a fateful decision.

"Smack!"

Chu Xiaoye let go of the water bag in his mouth, turned his head, and glanced at the little curly tail and Meimei beside him.

The two little guys were stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what he meant.

"Whew-"

From their mouths, a brave roar sounded.

This is the battle horn!

Aisha and Ci'er, who were standing on the sidelines, were startled, and turned their heads to look at them in dismay.
