It was finally dark.
Catherine lay down in the bushes, looking forward to the stars and the moon, until finally the sky turned dark.
She accidentally fell asleep last night and didn't see his heroic figure hunting.
Tonight, she would stare at him with wide eyes and never take her eyes away from him!
Three lionesses went out to hunt.
Pregnant Kelly and Maya, sleeping.
Chu Xiaoye climbed up another bread tree and used her sharp claws to dig out the soft and wet wood residue on the thick branches.
He could clearly see the moisture inside.
When these wood residues are taken out and squeezed gently, clear water will flow out.
It seems that there is no need to test anymore.
These two baobab trees indeed store a large amount of fresh water, enough for the entire lion group to survive the most difficult dry season.
He filled the hole with the wood residue he took out to prevent the water from evaporating.
The animals and plants that can survive on this grassland to this day have naturally gone through various harsh tests of nature and slowly evolved and changed until they truly adapted to the harsh environment here.
This baobab tree should have started to store water in advance during the rainy season.
The water problem has been solved.
Chu Xiaoye was about to go down and took Little Curly Wei and Meimei to the bushes behind to see what was going on.
At this time, out of his peripheral vision, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure appearing on the hillside not far away!
The strong and huge body, the lush mane, and the bright and cold eyes, under the cover of night, came quietly with murderous intent!
It was actually the stray lion that escaped in the evening!
"Ouch—"
He immediately roared from the tree and sounded the alarm!
Kelly and Maya, who were lying in the bushes, stood up in a hurry, took a few steps forward, raised their necks, and looked towards the hillside.
At this time, the stray lion had already started running and sprinting towards this side!
The fangs are exposed and the mane is flying!
Those fierce and cold eyes were filled with cold murderous intent and hatred!
When Kelly and Maya saw this scene, they suddenly panicked, growled, turned around and ran away!
However, they hesitated for a moment, either because they were worried about the lion cubs or because they thought that stray male lions would generally not harm lionesses. They stopped and hurriedly shouted at the four lion cubs, telling them to run away quickly!
Lal jumped up from the bushes with a "whoosh" sound, turned around and fled into the bushes behind, and left in a hurry.
On the other hand, Little Juanwei and Meimei climbed up the baobab tree directly at Chu Xiaoye's call and stood with him.
The male lion is very large and difficult to get up.
Catherine hesitated, not knowing whether to run away like Lars or to climb the baobab tree.
She always thought that the two big trees belonged to the three of them, and she was not qualified to go up.
While she was hesitating, the stray lion had already charged over with murderous intent.
"Ouch!"
Chu Xiaoye lowered his head and shouted anxiously at her.
This idiot!
It’s already this time, why are you still dazed!
Come up quickly!
When Catherine heard his call, she was immediately elated and excited. Without any hesitation, she immediately rushed to the foot of the baobab tree and climbed up quickly!
She lowered her head and silently walked to another branch, not daring to stand too close to him. Instead, she stood behind him and peeked at him with joy in her heart.
She finally stood on the same tree as him.
Moreover, she was invited by him.
At this time, there was no fear in her heart, and she was still thinking wildly.
"Ouch—"
The wandering male lion roared angrily and pounced directly on the two lionesses. Its open bloody mouth and sharp fangs were filled with extreme anger and murderous intent, without the slightest hint of mercy!
Kelly and Maya were startled, yelled hurriedly, opened their mouths, and resisted!
At this point, it's too late to escape, let alone turn your back on this stray lion!
As long as he bites his neck and knocks him to the ground, he will never be able to stand up again!
The two pregnant lionesses soon had their faces covered in blood and scars!
Even if they are not pregnant, they are definitely no match for this nearly 200 kilogram male lion!
The size and strength of the male lion, as well as the fighting gene possessed from birth, are definitely not comparable to any female lion!
This wandering lion obviously has murderous intentions and will show no mercy with its deadly moves!
Kelly and Maya were filled with regret and fear, screaming in despair while resisting feebly!
The stray lion suddenly slapped Kelly on the face with a paw, knocking her to the ground, and then pounced on her ferociously, preparing to bite her throat!
"Ouch—"
At this moment, a roar suddenly came from the baobab tree!
The wandering lion paused, raised his head, and looked at the baobab tree.
On the tree, Chu Xiaoye bared his fangs with a provocative look in his eyes.
Little Curly Tail and Meimei also roared immediately and looked at him without fear!
The wandering lion roared angrily and recognized the three of them immediately.
During the decisive battle with Leng's father in the evening, it was these three hateful little guys who overestimated their abilities and wanted to challenge him. As a result, their mother was attracted.
That's why he ran away!
When he comes tonight, he is going to start a killing spree!
No matter if it is a lioness or a cub, he will never let it go!
He wants all the bastards who don't follow the rules to pay the heaviest price!
"Ouch—"
He roared angrily and continued to pounce on the two lionesses!
He needs to deal with these two pregnant lionesses first and make them stillborn!
The injured Kelly was knocked to the ground again by a claw!
Just as the stray lion was about to pounce, Maya suddenly pounced on him from behind, roaring and biting him!
The wandering lion immediately turned back to deal with her!
Kelly hurriedly took this opportunity to get up from the ground. Without any hesitation, she turned around and ran away into the bushes behind, leaving behind her sisters who were bitten by the lion in order to save her.
She has been pregnant for more than two months and her belly has swelled. She will give birth in a month.
She had already lost two children and didn't want to lose another.
And, she wants to live.
Kelly ran away.
Maya's situation suddenly became more dangerous.
The attack of the wandering lion was like a violent storm, making it impossible for her to resist, let alone escape!
She was about to fall.
"Uh-huh!"
Chu Xiaoye suddenly jumped down from the tree and rushed towards the stray lion!
He was scared.
If you are not afraid in the trees, you will definitely be afraid on the ground.
He is not even a year old and is not as big as a lioness, so how can he compete with this powerful behemoth
He had no experience fighting lions.
Moreover, the blood of a lion cub flows in his bones, and he is instinctively afraid of adult lions.
Like Lal who ran away without hesitation.
It is true that after training, he is now very fast and strong, and his claws and teeth are very sharp, but that is compared to hyenas and other prey.
The competition between animals mainly relies on body strength and bite force.
In the face of absolute strength, any fancy skills may only increase the chance of survival, but they will not play a big role in a face-to-face battle.
Just like a ferocious and terrifying crocodile, no matter how frightened other animals are, they must obey the hippopotamus, which is larger and has an even more amazing bite force.
With his current size and bite force, he would definitely not be able to defeat this lion in its prime.
His power is not strong enough.
He doesn't want to die.
So he kept standing in the tree, hesitating.
His animal instinct made him think of himself first.
For example, Kelly escaped.
However, when he heard Maya's desperate roar and horrified eyes, and thought of her daughter Jiji dying bloody and tragically in front of him, he finally defeated his instinctive fear and rushed down from the tree!
He jumped up high, like a bolt of lightning, fell from the tree, and pounced on the stray lion that was biting Maya!
It seems so unhesitating!
The bright moonlight fell down, illuminating his fierce and ferocious face.
Those amber eyes shone with a charming light.
Catherine stood in the tree and looked at him dreamily.
