The little girl crosses the river safely.
When it's the rest of the Lions' turn, it's much faster.
Except for Leng's father and the Chino brothers who were afraid of water and walked slowly, the blue-eyed Zamao and others jumped directly and landed on the other side.
Chu Xiaoye was the last to pass.
After all the members came ashore, he used his claws to swat away all the trees lying in the river, floated down the river, then flew over and jumped over.
A temporary bridge was built just to cross the river.
Now that the river crossing is complete, it naturally needs to be dismantled.
If this tree bridge remains, it will disrupt the existing life of the animals that live in the forest on both sides of the river all year round, causing them to fight each other instead of facing each other across the river.
Chu Xiaoye led the team through the forest.
The powerful aura made the small animals in the forest frightened and fled in panic.
Even some ferocious beasts can only huddle in dark caves, trembling, waiting for them to go away.
The mountain road is rugged, and the higher you go up, the steeper and more steep it becomes.
The little girl fell down several times following Chu Xiaoye, but every time she got up on her own and continued to follow without falling behind.
Qiqi and Nunu also had a very difficult time walking.
Father Leng was out of breath and exhausted after walking, and wanted to rest, but seeing that no one spoke, and not to be outdone, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue moving forward.
For all members of the Leng Father Lion Group, except for Chu Xiaoye and Catherine, no one knew what the scene was on the other side of the mountain.
No one dared to object to Chu Xiaoye's decision to move, but it didn't mean that they all agreed in their hearts.
Especially traveling such a long distance, over mountains and ridges, with no end in sight.
In the evening, it suddenly started to rain lightly.
Chu Xiaoye looked up and saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds and the sun had long disappeared.
"Snapped!"
Father Leng lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.
At this time, they were already halfway up the mountain. The top was extremely steep and the ground was mostly gravel and dead wood. If they were not careful, their feet would slip and they would become unstable.
And this rain will make their next journey even more difficult.
Chu Xiaoye looked up and had to stop and told everyone to rest where they were and wait until they regained their strength before continuing to climb.
For this group of lions who live on the grassland all year round, climbing such steep and dangerous mountains is definitely a kind of torture.
Father Leng lay on the ground like a puddle of mud, breathing heavily, not caring about his image as a lion. His messy and lush mane was covered with leaves and mud.
When it gets dark, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, making the leaves crackle.
The ground is more moist and difficult to walk on.
Chu Xiaoye climbed up a big tree and hid under the dense leaves, but still couldn't avoid the all-pervasive rain.
The little girl hugged her legs, lowered her head, and huddled under the tree.
The rain soaked her hair and clothes, and brought a chill that penetrated her bones.
During the mountain climbing just now, I was sweating all over my body, but now it was drenched with rain. Even an adult couldn't bear it, let alone such a delicate little girl.
If nothing happens, she will definitely become seriously ill.
And this disease, under such bad circumstances, might very well kill her.
The little girl trembled with trembling hands and took out the package of beef from her pocket. After opening it, she took out a piece and put it in her mouth, hoping to use food to add some calories to herself.
As soon as the thin slices of beef entered her mouth, she was stunned. She lowered her head, opened her eyes wide, and looked at the remaining beef slices in her hands in disbelief.
Each piece of beef is covered with a thick layer of honey, exuding an alluring sweetness.
Eating it in your mouth is a happy taste of returning to the past.
She carefully chewed the beef in her mouth, with crooked eyes and a happy smile on her face. She looked up and saw that there was no rain above her head.
In the sky, the rain is still falling, and it is getting heavier and heavier.
The young lion king was building a roof with broken branches and leaves on the branch above her head to block the dripping rain.
The little girl raised her tender cheeks and looked at him blankly with her clear and innocent eyes.
"Boom!"
At this moment, a thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.
The little girl trembled with fright, huddled up and leaned tightly on the tree behind her.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced the dark cloudy sky and fell.
"Crack!"
A big tree not far away was suddenly struck by lightning, burst into flames, broke in the middle, and fell to the ground.
A burning smell spread in the forest.
Chu Xiaoye, who was building an awning on the tree, was startled when he saw this scene. He hurriedly growled and called to the little curly tail, Meimei, Tilis and Jasmine on the tree to come down quickly.
There was still lightning and thunder rolling in the sky.
He had almost forgotten the dangers of being in a tree.
Thundering weather like this is very dangerous in the forest, and staying in such a tall tree is tantamount to seeking death.
Fortunately, the lightning hit the big tree not far away.
Chu Xiaoye quickly climbed down the tree and squatted next to the little girl. While avoiding the heavy rain, she urged the little curly tails to stop dawdling and come down quickly.
Seeing his expression and the terrifying light shining on the big tree not far away, Little Curly and Meimei hurriedly climbed down.
All the members stayed under the tree, looking at the burning tree not far away in surprise.
They seemed to be seeing fire for the first time.
The little curly tail's eyes widened, feeling that this scene was a bit unbelievable. In his eyes, the flames jumping in the rain were like some kind of ferocious beast with teeth and claws, very scary.
Heavy rain did little to extinguish the flames.
The flames grew stronger and stronger, crackling, but they did not spread to other trees.
The broken half of the tree trunk fell to the ground, burning tenaciously in the muddy water and green grass, as if preparing to completely burn the tree.
The small animals hiding near the big tree seemed to instinctively sense the danger, jumping out of the bushes and running away.
Father Leng's majestic pupils reflected the dancing flames, like a devil dancing, and his body could not help but tremble.
All animals feel instinctive fear of this terrible thing falling from the sky.
At this moment, the little girl who was shivering in the cold under the big tree suddenly stood up and walked towards the burning tree in the heavy rain.
She also seemed to understand that soaked clothes and cold rain might cause fatal injuries to her.
And this flame falling from the sky may be her hope to continue living.
Her little face turned red at the reflection, and she walked over quickly.
The members of Father Leng's lion pride all opened their eyes wide and looked at her in astonishment.
In their hearts, this little blond animal that walks upright has always been so delicate and incompetent. Even Xiaomi can't beat it. It's so weak.
And now, what was she going to do as she walked towards that terrifying light
Chu Xiaoye stood up, followed the little girl, and walked over.
Catherine was still like his shadow, silently following behind him, no matter how terrifying the thing in front was, no matter whether the monster with its teeth and claws would devour her.
The little girl came to the burning tree, picked up many wet dead branches from the ground next to it, and slowly placed them on the burning flames of the half of the tree on the ground.
Smoke curled and crackled.
The wet branches quickly evaporated the moisture on them under the barbecue of the flames, and soon dried out and burned.
The little girl picked up more dead branches and piled them into a bonfire.
The flames grew stronger and stronger, and the little girl came closer to the fire, her face flushed and her eyes brighter.
She was baking her wet hair and her soaked dress.
However, the rain in the sky is still falling.
Chu Xiaoye climbed up the big tree, broke a few leafy branches, put them on top of her head, and built a rain shelter again.
The little girl raised her head, looked at him with bright eyes, and said softly "thank you".
Seeing this scene, the little curly tail felt that there was no danger, so he quickly ran over and got in front of the fire, but suddenly felt a burning heat rushing towards his face.
He took a few steps back in fright, hesitated for a while, then stepped forward curiously, standing behind the little girl, looking at the pile of flames with bright eyes.
The little girl stretched out her little hands and baked them on the flames.
Little Curly Wei felt that since this little weakling dared to get close to those dancing monsters, his brother Wei naturally couldn't be too timid.
I saw him twist his butt and extend his tail.
"Zi——"
A burning smell suddenly filled the air.
"Ouch—"
The little curly tail suddenly jumped three meters high, let out a frightened and shrill howl, and jumped directly onto a big tree nearby. His tail was waving behind him crazily. He grinned in pain and his face was distorted.
Chu Xiaoye looked up and saw that the hair on the tip of his tail had been burned bald, and couldn't help but grin.
After he laughed out loud, he was surprised. How could his laughter be the same as that of a human being or that little white lion? Can lions laugh too
"Chi chi chi chi..."
At this time, another burst of laughter came from behind.
Chu Xiaoye looked back and saw that it was Tilis.
Tilis was laughing at Little Curly Tail, and she was also laughing at him. Her grin and crooked eyes looked quite ferocious, and she couldn't bear to look directly at him.
"Cluck, cluck, cluck..."
At this time, the little girl's laughter suddenly sounded.
This unusual burst of laughter startled Tiliss, Little Curly Tail and Catherine at the same time, and they all looked at her as if they were looking at monsters.
He was probably thinking that the screams made by this little thing were so terrifying.
The little girl immediately covered her mouth and stopped laughing, but she looked at them with crooked eyes, her little face flushed, and her face full of smiles.
At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten the terrible experience and the worries of not knowing whether she would be able to survive in the future.
The rain continued and the flames roared.
The little girl took out the beef slices from her pocket, roasted them in the fire, handed them to Chu Xiaoye, looked at him with bright eyes, and said softly: "Eat."
Of course Chu Xiaoye would not eat such small things.
He has a majestic mouth full of sharp and handsome fangs. He was born to eat fresh flesh and blood. How could he eat such sweet snacks for children smeared with honey
"Take a piece."
As if acting like a spoiled child, the little girl forced the beef slices into the corner of his mouth, and touched his sharp and handsome fangs with her fingers.
"So sweet!"
Chu Xiaoye held it in his mouth, secretly praised it, and then swallowed it.
