Chapter 44, the lion battle
After the rainstorm, the sky seemed to be scrubbed, pure blue, and the end of the grassland reflected the burning clouds, and it seemed that tomorrow would be a sunny day.
The sun is already on the horizon of the grassland, and when it is submerged in the horizon, a cool breeze will blow, and if you don't find a place to rest, I'm afraid it's going to be another difficult night.
"What's up ahead?" Meow-sama walked over to Tucci and asked.
"I had just run five miles away and saw some antelopes, and a lion colony was nearby. There were probably more than a dozen lions, a male lion, and I didn't get too close so I couldn't see it too clearly. There is a bush in the territory of the lions, where you can make some fire, Xiaobao has just finished raining, it is safer to make a fire at night. Tucci said with a squint.
"More than a dozen lions are not easy to handle!" Meow-sama was worried.
"Good news!" Tucci laughed.
"What's the good news?" Meow-sama saw Tucci's smug look, as if he had picked up a treasure.
"When I came back, I saw two male lions wandering around the lion's territory, and they were supposed to be grabbing territory. So... Hey, hey, hey! Tucci nodded, as if to say you know.
"Sit on the mountain and watch the lion fight, and then the yellow finch is behind!" Meow-sama understands Tucci's careful thinking.
"Yes, yes, that's what it means! When they're almost done, we'll go and get them all out! Without the lion, the lioness fled with her cubs! Tucci squinted obscenely, there was no morality to speak of on the prairie, and it was important to live.
Meow-sama looked in the direction Tucci was pointing, thinking quietly. It felt that there was some truth in what Tucci said, and there was no place to rest around, if the lions were not driven away, Shi Xiaobao would be difficult at night, and if she caught a cold and fell ill, the matter would be even more serious.
"What are you muttering?" Shi Xiaobao walked over with a stick.
"There was a jungle in front of us and we could go there for the night. It's just controlled by a pack of lions. Lord Meow stretched his muscles and said to Shi Xiaobao.
"Isn't it dangerous to have a lion pack? So how do you spend the night there? Shi Xiaobao didn't understand why there were lions still going.
"Don't worry, Tucci has a plan! Let's go! Meow squatted down and said.
"Okay then." Shi Xiaobao jumped on the back of Lord Meow, holding a Shaolin stick in his hand, like a female warrior rushing to the battlefield.
After walking five miles, a bush appeared, and more than a dozen lionesses each crawled on the grass with their children and frolicked on the edge of the jungle. A male lion held away from the lions, like a proud king, looking around his territory.
"That, that!" Tucci whispered as he looked in the direction of the lion.
Lord Meow leaned down, and Shi Xiaobao also bent down, hiding in the slightly higher grass and looking in the direction that Tucci was pointing.
"Didn't you say that there are still two male lions coming to grab the territory? Where did it go? Meow looked around, but there were no other two male lions.
"No, when I left, I clearly saw that they were observing the terrain and the combat power of this male lion, were they scared away? Two male lions like this? Tucci said with his paw picking at his face.
"Low! Here they are! Mistress Meow lowered Tucci and saw two male lions walking through the grass towards the male who was scanning his territory.
The grass had just covered the lion's legs, and from the upper body alone, it was slightly weaker than the male lion who was proud of the territory, but it looked young and vigorous compared to the male lion leader.
When the cubs reach adulthood, they are chased away by the male lions of the pack and begin to live alone. These male lions who have left the pack are young and vigorous, and when they wander the grasslands, if they see the male lions of other groups of lions are old and weak, they will replace them with a decisive battle.
The two young lions were more like two brothers, and their purpose was obvious, to drive away the slightly older lion king, or to kill them.
This is the rule of keeping the lions strong and strong, and only in this way can the lions maintain their strong position in the grassland. Ensuring that the lion population continues to thrive is the rule of nature's superiority.
"It saw them!" Tucci was as excited as if he had entered the cinema for the first time to watch a sci-fi blockbuster, and if it hadn't been for Lord Meow holding it, he would probably have jumped up.
"Wow!" Shi Xiaobao observed the duel between the lions up close, and was shocked or shocked.
I didn't expect that what I saw on TV and watching it on the grassland were completely two different feelings, the former was bland, and the latter was excited, just like participating in the battle. It's no wonder that watching performances and basketball and football games are all on the spot, and the feeling is completely different.
"This old lion is going to lose!" The parrot suddenly cried.
"Shhhh Don't scream! Tucci slapped his paw on the parrot's head, and the parrot was smashed into the basket.
The parrot flapped its wings a few times, poked its head out of the basket again, and saw Lord Meow, Shi Xiaobao and Tucci sticking their heads out and looking intently at the upcoming battle, muttering in their hearts, "What's so good about this, compared to those giant beasts fighting, these are all jokes!" ”
The parrot glanced at the lion with disdain, and got into the back basket to leisurely peck at the apple.
"Hey, Xiaobao, who do you want to win?" Tucci squinted, shaking his big teeth and asked Shi Xiaobao excitedly.
Shi Xiaobao glanced at the lion cubs, who were nervously clinging to their mothers, their little heads looking around.
"I watched TV that the lion cub would be killed after the lion took his place as the lion king. I hope the old lion king wins, at least until the young lion grows up. Shi Xiaobao remembered that the little lion was going to be killed soon, and he lost his previous excitement and excitement.
"That's it! I've heard too. Seeing that Shi Xiaobao was unhappy, Tucci didn't ask any more questions, and turned his head to concentrate on the big battle that was about to break out.
Lord Meow lay on the ground silently, watching the development of events intently, Tucci didn't know what it was thinking, seeing that it was concentrating on how to deal with these lions, and the sensible ones didn't ask much, so as not to be clawed.
"Hey, it's time for a fight! This pair of two is not cowardly, this lion cow! Tucci didn't think it was a big deal, and he covered his mouth with his paws and smiled.
Lord Meow's eyes swept over the three lions, comparing the strength and advantages of the two sides, although the lion king is older, the majesty is still there, and it is not a problem to deal with one, and I am afraid that I will not have the upper hand at all when dealing with two. Unless the lioness comes forward to deal with the two intruders together, many lionesses see two powerful male lions, in order to protect their children, there is no willingness to come forward to help. Lord Meow sighed in his heart, it seems that the old lion king will be defeated.
The old lion king saw the two intruders coming on the grass, the two male lions did not attack rashly, they stopped and stopped, as if they were observing the movements of the lioness, and after seeing that many female lions did not come forward to help, the two male lions walked towards the old lion king with a low roar without any scruples.
The old lion king immediately stood up, raised his head to the sky and roared angrily, shaking his shoulders, his dark mane thick and thick, swaying with his body. Raising his steps heroically, he walked calmly and forcefully towards the two invading lions.
The manes of the two invading male lions were much darker and sparser than those of the old lion king, and a trace of fear flashed in their eyes. And instead of stopping, they went faster and faster, faster and faster.
"Roar!" The roars of the three lions rang out at the same time, and a young male lion took the lead in running towards the old lion king, angrily opening his huge mouth and slamming into the old lion king's neck.
The old lion king hurriedly turned his body sideways, dodging the huge mouth of the young male lion, jumped up on his front feet, and slapped a paw on the young male lion's head, and the young male lion swung to one side of the head from a heavy blow.
"Oops, hahaha, this claw hitting me will slow down for a long time!" Tucci exclaimed.
Although Tucci has a strong attack, he has no physical advantage over the lion, and if he encounters it, he can only rely on his own agility to maneuver, and if he is hit hard, he is afraid that he will roll and crawl to the ground.
Lord Meow could see that the old lion king was a little difficult to fight for one-on-two, but he couldn't defeat it for a while, and it was not easy for the two young male lions to defeat it, after all, ginger was still old and spicy.
Another male lion took the opportunity to pounce up, also with a huge mouth straight to the neck, the old lion king had already taken precautions, hurriedly retreated a step back, the male lion pounced, and hit his head.
"Oops, this young kid is so stupid! Two stunned, how can there be such a fight, throw yourself into someone's arms! Tucci shook his head in disappointment, as if the goal had hit the post, furious.
"Grab other people's territory, you just want the two lions to win so much!" Shi Xiaobao struck the next Tuqi and blamed.
Tucci immediately stopped talking, and craned his neck to watch the battle of the three lions.
The two young lions rushed towards the old lion king one after the other, the old lion king did not want to fight with them, and retreated while fighting, both sides were injured, but the two young lions were scarred by blood.
The old lion king and the two young lions pulled away a little, panting, the two young male lions looked much more relaxed, did not rush forward, but one after the other the old lion king wrapped up.
"Hey, this time I've got a brain! Earlier like this.." Tucci sees that the two young lions are going to wrap up front and back, so that the old lion king will be completely passive.
Shi Xiaobao slapped on Tucci and shouted, "Shut up! ”
Tucci shrunk his neck again, silent.
Lord Meow opened his mouth and said, "Tucci, go help this old lion, it will not be able to do it soon!" ”
"Me? I'm going to help it? They're lions! Tucci couldn't believe his ears.
"Go!" Meow-sama cried in a deep voice.
"Meow-sama, why are you going to help it? Didn't we say it before? "Tucci didn't understand Meow's intentions at all.
Tucci turned his head and saw Shi Xiaobao slowly pulling a stick from behind, and immediately rushed out of the grass and said, "I'll go, I can't go!" ”
"Do you think Tucci and the old lion can beat them?" Shi Xiaobao leaned over to Lord Meow and asked.
"You smoke us a few times a day, worry about it." Meow-sama pouted.
Shi Xiaobao was about to make a move, but Lord Meow hurriedly changed his words and said, "Don't, don't, don't worry, it's good for Tuqi to interfere with one of them, Tuqi won't be stupid to fight with them." ”
The two young male lions were about to make a move, when Tucci rushed forward and shouted, "Stop! ”
Tucci stopped five meters away, knowing that the range was safe, and went further into the ring of fierce combat.
The three lions moved their eyes to Tucci at the same time, the old lion king thought it was some powerful assistant, but he didn't expect it to be a mouse, a larger mouse, and there was some disappointment in his eyes.
The two young male lions looked at Tucci with some disdain and said, "Get out!" ”
