Night falls.
It was still a little hot in the bushes.
Under the nervous and eager eyes of the lioness and the cub, their king, the majestic lion, finally returned in triumph with his head held high.
The lush and golden mane fluttered in the night wind, adding to the majestic aura!
The five lionesses came up to him one by one, rubbing his head and body with flattering expressions, and their tense heartstrings finally relaxed.
Their king is victorious.
And their children are finally safe.
The little lions finally relaxed and continued to play.
However, they dare not approach their father.
The male lion is too tall and majestic and not as loving and gentle as the female lion, so the little lions are afraid.
but.
The little curly tail was not afraid at all and ran over, boldly grabbing and biting the lion's tail.
The lion must have won the battle and was in a good mood. For the first time, he tolerated his nonsense. He lay there and narrowed his eyes.
The little curly tail played with it endlessly, and even jumped on the lion's body to bite his mane.
The lion can't stand this!
The mane is a symbol of his power and dominance and should not be desecrated!
"Ouch—"
The male lion suddenly opened his mouth and roared at the little curly tail on his back, with anger and reprimand.
The little curly tail was so frightened that he peeed, jumped off the lion's back, and ran away.
The lion glanced at him contemptuously, lay down again, and closed his eyes.
Chu Xiaoye didn't feel sleepy.
He thought for a long time and decided to practice climbing trees first.
With his current age and body, it is simply impossible to become powerful quickly.
Only saving your life first is the most important thing.
Compared to the ground, which is full of carnivores and large animals, it is definitely much safer in the trees.
As long as you don’t encounter tree animals such as leopard baboons.
In ordinary lion territory, these animals do not dare to enter.
In fact, the biggest threat to the life of a lion cub comes not from other animals, but from stray lions.
but.
Male lions are generally too heavy to climb trees. Even if they climb trees, they will only climb very low and can only settle on thick branches.
Therefore, if one day his father is defeated and the stray lion comes to kill him, he can climb a tree to hide.
You can't escape by running, and there's no point in begging.
He had to climb a tree to save his life.
Therefore, this skill is very suitable for it as a young child now.
There is a small tree next to it.
He decided to practice his claws on a small tree first.
At least, first successfully climb the first branch.
When he was practicing climbing a tree, the little curly tail, who was scared away by the lion, ran over curiously, but did not dare to get too close and looked at him in confusion.
It seems to be saying, what's so fun about trees? Wouldn't my brother rather play with trees than with me
Chu Xiaoye climbed up for a while but failed.
Feeling extremely tired.
However, he was not discouraged and continued to practice breathlessly.
"Whoosh—"
Meimei next to her was so excited that she rushed over, jumped up, crawled quickly with her four paws, and climbed onto the first branch in an instant!
Then, the little lioness lowered her head and looked at Chu Xiaoye with a proud expression.
“…”
Chu Xiaoye was very depressed.
Not to be outdone, Little Curly Tail quickly ran over, sprinted, and jumped!
As a result, there was a "bang" sound, and my head hit the tree trunk hard, and I fell directly to the ground. My eyes were in pain and I screamed.
"Fool!"
Chu Xiaoye sighed.
It seems that besides being able to hunt and give birth to cubs, female lions are naturally capable of many more skills than male lions.
The little curly tail wailed for a while, stood up from the ground, looked up at Meimei on the tree, was inspired to fight, and climbed up the tree again.
As a result, after climbing up a few steps, he fell down again.
Chu Xiaoye was secretly happy. This boy was willing to learn to climb trees, which was really a dream.
He followed his brother's example and continued to get up.
Seeing that he was not discouraged and did not laugh at himself, the little curly tail stood up again and continued to crawl.
Meimei stood on the branch, watching the brothers fail again and again, and couldn't understand.
It's obviously very simple.
She decided to go down and show the two brothers one more time.
result.
She couldn't get down.
"Ouch!"
She started to get scared.
After testing it a few times, my limbs were trembling and I couldn't hold it firmly.
When I lower my head, it feels so steep and high!
"Mother… "
She was on the branch, wailing in fear.
The little curly tail immediately gloated under the tree and jumped up and down.
Chu Xiaoye worked hard and finally climbed up.
"Girl, don't be afraid, brother is here."
As a man, Chu Xiaoye naturally wanted to comfort this helpless and frightened little girl.
He stood on the branch, raised his paw, patted Meimei's head, and said "ouch" with a calm look on his face.
"Girl, watch carefully, imitate my brother's movements, and go down in one go."
Chu Xiaoye lowered her head and climbed on the trunk, preparing to get off the tree.
result…
"Mother… "
He also began to wail, and his whole body was shaking.
No wonder lions are reluctant to climb trees. It turns out they are born with a fear of heights!
It's obviously not that high, but when I look at it like this, I suddenly feel trembling all over, frightened, and unable to steady my body and claws!
Two little lions, one male and one female, were crawling on the branches of a small tree, trembling and howling, calling for their mother.
Chu Xiaoye felt so embarrassed.
The little curly tail squatted under the tree, tilted his head, grinned, and seemed to be laughing again.
Chu Xiaoye suddenly had an idea.
Since you can't help but feel scared when your head is down, then go back down!
He didn't hesitate and took action immediately.
really.
When he moved his head upward and retreated, his body finally stopped shaking and his claws firmly grasped the tree trunk.
However, when he was about to hit the ground, he suddenly lost his balance and fell down, and suddenly there was a heartbreaking pain in his right paw!
He raised his paw and saw a very sharp thorn stuck in!
It hurts!
He trembled, but without thinking much, he bit it with his teeth, endured the pain, and pulled it out at once!
The severe pain made him tremble all over!
A stream of scarlet blood overflowed from the wound.
He didn't have time to think too much and immediately licked it with his tongue to perform the most primitive disinfection.
The little curly tail circled around him and squealed twice. Apparently he smelled the smell of blood and was very worried.
Meimei admired his appearance, carefully stepped back from the tree step by step, and landed safely.
The two little lions surrounded him and rubbed his head, as if to comfort him.
Something strange.
Chu Xiaoye's eyes were stunned.
The wound that was originally very painful immediately stopped hurting after he licked it with saliva a few times.
At the same time, the strange heat in his abdomen suddenly surged up and followed the veins in his body to the wound on his right paw.
The bleeding stopped immediately.
The pain has all disappeared.
He looked at his right paw, secretly surprised.
