Chapter 17: The Hunt

The sun is setting.

It wasn't until the evening that the lioness returned.

I saw that they had messy hair, were covered in scars, and were covered in grass clippings and mud, and looked embarrassed.

Of the five lion cubs, only two remained.

Lal and a lioness cub named Gigi were lucky to survive.

The other three lion cubs were nowhere to be seen.

Apparently, it has been eaten by the baboons.

The two lionessses who had lost their children walked in the grass with sad eyes, sniffing the scent left by their children.

Aisha and Ciel ran to the bottom of the tree, startled by the dead old baboon under the tree, and looked up to see the three lion cubs standing safe and sound in the tree, watching them.

"Whew!"

The two lionesses barked under the tree, their eyes full of love and relief, calling the three of them down, as if to check for themselves if they were really okay.

Chu Xiaoye took the little curly tail and Meimei and climbed down the tree.

Aisha and Ciel immediately came up and gently licked their fur and rubbed their heads affectionately.

When Chu Xiaoye was rubbing his head affectionately with his mother, Xi'er leaned over and licked his hair to show his closeness, as if he was grateful.

If he hadn't insisted on hiding in the tree and didn't go down and escape, he was afraid that her daughter would have died like the three poor lion cubs.

Chu Xiaoye saved her and saved her daughter, and she already regarded Chu Xiaoye as her own child in her heart.

Lal lay on his stomach in the grass, his head hanging down, like a child who had done something wrong, frustrated and guilty.

But it's more about fear.

Had it not been for the desperate protection of his mother and other lionessses, and the arrival of his father, he would have been buried under the claws of those baboons.

Now he understood.

It is true that he is a lion, but compared to his majestic father, he is still much worse.

He also needs to grow.

Only in a few more years will he be able to grow into a male lion as strong and powerful as his father!

When the time comes, he must avenge the death of his three younger brothers and sisters!

Ral looked up at the three little ones who had just hid in the trees, his heart full of chagrin.

As the eldest brother, he is not even as good as the youngest brother and sister.

The lioness was chased all the way, and they had not eaten for two days, and they were already hungry.

Aisha walked up to the old baboon, sniffed the smell on it, raised her head, glanced at Chu Xiaoye strangely, and then turned her head and called out to the other sisters to come over and enjoy the food.

The smell of Chu Xiaoye remained on this prey.

Although she did not know how her child hunted the large baboon, she was supposed to dispose of the trophy.

The other lionesses gathered around and began to enjoy their food.

Aisha called out to Lal in the grass, giving way to some of the seats.

Although Lal was ashamed and regretful, he couldn't resist the hunger in his stomach, and hurriedly got up and ran over to eat.

Among the lion cubs, he was the oldest, and he was also the one who should be replenished with fresh flesh and blood.

Otherwise, it will affect the growth of the body.

Other lion cubs, for the time being, can breastfeed and fill their stomachs.

The body of this baboon, although relatively large, is not large enough for five lionesses and one male lion cub.

They rest for a while, and after feeding, they go out to hunt again.

Although the two lionesses who lost their children are very sad, they still have to live strong and be responsible for the whole lion pack.

The male lion had just bitten an adult baboon to death during a battle with an army of baboons.

After the pack of baboons left, the lioness was already eating while the lioness were looking for their children everywhere.

At this time, the adult baboon that was bitten to death is afraid that it has all entered the belly of the male lion.

Presumably, he will come back to watch over the lion cubs in a while.

After Chu Xiaoye finished feeding, he returned to the big tree, thinking that he had to find a way to add more food tonight.

In the past few days, he has exercised too much, and if he just eats milk, it is obviously not enough.

However, today's tragedy caused by Lal made him hesitate a little.

However, he is not stupid enough to provoke those powerful characters.

Small things like rabbits, squirrels, and mice are the most suitable prey for their little lions.

Even if it eats its whole family, it won't dare to resist, will it?

Chu Xiaoye secretly decided to try his skills tonight.

After Little Curly Tail and Meimei finished feeding, they also climbed up, leaned over to him and lay down, rubbing his body affectionately.

These two little ones also like to move and sleep in the trees now.

After all, the last two dangers were all avoided in the tree, and their lives were saved by the tree.

Ral ate a few bites of flesh, went to the lioness who had lost her baby to nurse for a while, and then lay down to sleep beside her mother.

Today's events made him remember deeply.

He didn't dare to run out alone anymore.

He must be obedient in the future, where to go, except for eating, that is, sleeping and playing, honestly staying by his mother's side, waiting to grow up.

When he grows up, he will be free and powerful!

When the time comes, as long as he bares his fangs, spreads his lush lion's mane, and roars a few times, the enemy will be terrified!

The sun sets quickly.

The vast grassland became dark.

The strong male lion, full of food, paced, walked back slowly, and did not bring back a trace of flesh and blood to the children.

Ciel stayed.

The rest of the lionessess said goodbye to the children, rubbed their heads with the male lions, and set off.

A silver moon, hanging on the branches.

In the bushes, the heavy snoring of a male lion was soon heard.

Ciel also lay on the grass and closed her eyes.

They slept very lightly.

On the big tree, after Chu Xiaoye saw Little Curly Tail and Meimei asleep, Fang quietly climbed down from the tree.

After landing.

He stepped on the soft grass and walked step by step towards the bushes behind him.

Finally, before he could wake Ciel, he burrowed into the thick bushes.

Sneak through the bushes.

After walking for a while, he suddenly heard a "click" sound.

The sound was small, but it reached his ears clearly in the silence of the night.

Looking through the cracks in the trees, under a large tree, there was a rabbit with gray fur, munching on nuts with relish, and its ears stood vigilantly erect.

Chu Xiaoye was secretly happy in his heart, slowed down, approached step by step, and prepared to sprint!

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, in the grass next to him, a figure suddenly jumped up and bit the hare's head!

The action is as fast as lightning, and the flutter is as light as flying!

Chu Xiaoye fixed his eyes and saw that it was actually a leopard!

The leopard picked up the rabbit, turned away, and quickly burrowed into the thick grass, and disappeared.

When Chu Xiaoye was secretly screaming bad luck, he suddenly heard a childish cry of "whoop woo woo".

Immediately, the grass shook, and a small leopard like a cat ran out of it after the lame rabbit.

The leopard that had just disappeared reappeared, following behind the little leopard, with bright eyes, looking around vigilantly.

Chu Xiaoye's heart tightened, lying on the ground, not daring to move again, secretly praying in his heart that the lame rabbit would not run towards him.

The female leopard who protects the calf is not easy to mess with!

If it is misunderstood that she is here to hurt her child, it will be over.

The speed of the leopard is not blown.

That's more ferocious than a turbo!

It is said that where there are lions stationed, there are few leopards nearby, let alone children.

After all, leopards are extremely afraid of lions.

For some reason, this leopard chose the place to take the child here.

Like others, they think that the most dangerous place is the safest place.

Or is it to use the deterrent power of lions to avoid the threat of hyenas and other predators?

It seems that this leopard is not only bold, but also very smart.

It's just that it's also dangerous to do so.

If they are discovered by the lions, their mother and daughter will die.

As for why he knew that this little leopard was a female, he didn't know, anyway, he would know at a glance.

Maybe that's the natural skill of animals.

"Woohoo! Whew! ”

A terrible scene still happened!

The little leopard chased the lame rabbit and ran towards the bush where he was hiding!

The delicate but fierce female leopard also followed!

Chu Xiaoye's heart suddenly rose to his throat and almost jumped out!
