"boom!"
Suddenly there was a gunshot in the distance, which was particularly clear in the silent night.
The sound of the gunshot seemed to fall in Chu Xiaoye's heart, causing his whole body to tremble in shock.
It had been so long since he heard this sound that he had almost forgotten about these terrible weapons that could kill all animals.
Humans came to the grassland.
The animals on the grassland have only two choices.
Continue to stay here, waiting for the sudden sound of gunfire and death.
Or, migrate away to a more remote place, far away from humans.
However, such a place does not exist in this world.
The gunshot woke Chu Xiaoye up.
As long as the lions stay here, they may be killed by humans with guns and cannons on that day.
He wants to save Leng's father and Meimei, but he must not risk other members of the lion group.
The eastern sky gradually turns white.
That night, no one fell asleep.
At dawn, Chu Xiaoye walked up to Catherine, looked into her dark eyes, and expressed her meaning seriously and seriously.
"Take them and leave first."
He hoped that Catherine could wrap them up, pass through the barrier, and seek refuge in another world.
Only Catherine knew that road and knew that Catherine could enter the ice forest and communicate with the elves.
This task belongs to her.
As for him, he will stay here for the time being to rescue Leng's father and Meimei.
If Leng's father and Meimei have encountered something unexpected, then he will leave after taking revenge.
Catherine turned her head away and stubbornly refused his order.
She didn't want to leave.
She just wanted to follow him, no matter where he went, no matter whether he could survive or not.
This little lioness doesn't know how scary humans can be.
Chu Xiaoye looked at Nunu and Qiqi who were playing not far away, and at his mother and several other lionesses. These were his relatives. If they all died under human guns, he really couldn't accept it. .
He was already very remorseful and guilty for not taking everyone away with him. But now, if he can't take everyone to a safe place first and insists on rescuing Leng's father and Meimei, if something happens to him, I'm afraid he will You will live in pain for the rest of your life.
"Catherine, be obedient. Take them and leave first. I will definitely go back."
Chu Xiaoye expressed what he meant again. This time, it was not an order, but a plea.
Catherine still looked away and did not respond, using silence to express her meaning.
"Brother, I won't leave!"
Little Curly Wei suddenly came over and firmly expressed what he meant.
He didn't want to be separated from his brother again, not ever.
Moreover, his father and Meimei were kidnapped by humans, and he had the responsibility to rescue them.
Chu Xiaoye ignored him and still looked at the little lioness in front of him. After a moment of silence, he said, "Catherine, if you take them away and send them to the elves safely, then when I go back, I will..."
Catherine suddenly looked away and looked at him, her eyes trembling, shining brightly in the dark night.
"I will grant you a request."
Chu Xiaoye said sincerely.
Catherine's dark eyes stared into his, and she mustered up the courage to express what she meant: "Any requests?"
Chu Xiaoye nodded and said, "Any request."
Catherine fell silent again.
Then, she raised her head again, took two steps forward, looked up at him from below, looked at him for a while, then lowered her head, gently rubbed the mane on his neck with her head, and then looked up at him. His eyes expressed his request.
"Promise me you will come back."
This is her request, her only request.
Chu Xiaoye looked at her tearful eyes and felt a little dazed for a moment. The scenes about the little lioness emerged in his mind unconsciously.
"I promise you."
Chu Xiaoye said with firm eyes.
Catherine lowered her head, slowly stepped away, and walked to the side. Her back was lonely and lonely, just like before.
"Brother, I won't leave!"
Little Curly Wei expressed his meaning stubbornly again.
"boom!"
Chu Xiaoye slapped him on the head with her paw and knocked him to the ground.
He won't have a good look on this kid.
"If you don't leave, who will protect Qiqi and Nunu along the way, and who will protect mother? Can Catherine do it alone?"
Now all kinds of animals are fleeing, and they will definitely encounter more powerful beasts on the road. No matter how powerful Catherine is, she still has nothing to do.
Little Curly Wei lay on the ground, tears of grievance about to fall.
"Start at dawn, don't delay!"
Chu Xiaoye gave him an ultimatum.
Although he just met, he didn't want to leave, but the situation is critical now. Humans are running around with guns every day. If he doesn't leave as soon as possible, he might not be able to leave again one day.
Some things require decisiveness.
Chu Xiaoye walked over, said goodbye to her mother, Xi'er, Jasmine and other members one by one, and told them to follow Catherine to another place to build a new home.
Everyone was very reluctant to leave, but they all knew that they could no longer stay here. If they hesitated any longer, there would be only death.
Moreover, if they stay, they will have no effect and can only be a burden.
Aisha licked his hair lovingly, Xier rubbed his neck tenderly, and Qiqi and Nunu also came to say goodbye to him.
Jasmine also rubbed against his body.
Chu Xiaoye suddenly discovered that Jasmine was pregnant. The little lioness's movements were not normal, and she looked pregnant at first glance.
Male lions have the keenest sense of smell for whether a lioness is pregnant.
He turned his head and looked at Little Curly Tail.
The little curly boy suddenly felt embarrassed. He twisted his body, his mouth split open, looking funny as he wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
Chu Xiaoye was very happy that the lions finally began to bloom.
However, he felt more courage on his shoulders.
"No need to wait for daybreak, leave now! Immediately! Immediately!"
Chu Xiaoye decided, roared, and notified Catherine and all the members of the lion group.
"boom!"
At this moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out not far ahead.
Immediately, a lion's roar also sounded.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Gunshots rang out continuously, and the lion's roar immediately fell silent.
At the same time, the sound of horse hooves sounded, approaching here.
"Quick! Hide in the cave!"
Chu Xiaoye immediately asked Xiao Juanwei to hide with them.
This rocky hill is full of thorns and strange rocks, making it difficult for horses to pass and difficult for people to walk. Moreover, it is not light yet, so they should not dare to take risks.
Little Curly Tail immediately took the members of the lion pride and got under the bushes and into the cave.
Chu Xiaoye and Catherine also walked over and hid in the dense bushes and huge rocks.
He reminded Catherine to put her head down and hide her eyes.
In the dark night of the grassland, they could see everything around them clearly, but their eyes that shone brightly in the dark night became the most eye-catching mark for humans to discover them.
They must hide their eyes and listen with their ears.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
There was the sound of a hunting dog!
The world has become like this, and humans have retreated to various remote places. Can we still forget those cruel entertainments
hound
Does this thing also want to show off its power here
Anger surged in Chu Xiaoye's heart, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he naturally exuded a terrifying beastly aura.
Before those barking hunting dogs could get close, they suddenly whimpered, turned around and ran away with their tails between their legs. They were so frightened that they peed.
