The weather is a bit hot.
After eating, the lioness and her cubs hid in the shade to rest.
After Chu Xiaoye disinfected Xi'er, she continued to practice climbing trees.
He didn't know what month it was.
But depending on the situation, it should be almost the dry season.
There are only two seasons here, the rainy season and the dry season.
During the rainy season, there is abundant rainfall and lush vegetation, which can attract many herbivores.
For them carnivores, this is the happiest season.
Even at your doorstep, you can catch plump and delicious prey.
Fresh blood and flesh are replenished every day.
And once the dry season comes, food will be scarce.
Herbivores began to migrate in large numbers, rushing to places with water and green grass.
At this time, many lions have no prey in their territories.
In order to survive, lions will also migrate with these herbivores.
The journey was very difficult, and I was hungry for many days. Sometimes I couldn't even drink a drop of water.
At this time, the mortality rate of young lions will become very high.
Therefore, some powerful lions will choose their territories near rivers.
Even in the dry season, there will be food to satisfy hunger.
Unless the dry season is prolonged and the rivers dry up.
As for the lion group where Chu Xiaoye was located, there were no rivers near the territory, only a few small water sources.
Once the dry season comes, it will be very dangerous.
It hasn't rained these days.
The air is also a bit hot.
Near the door of the house, the herbivores of all sizes have disappeared.
During this morning's hunt, the lioness also ran far away.
From all indications, the rainy season may be coming to an end.
At that time, greater danger will befall this little lion pride with eight cubs to feed.
If a migration event occurs, the lion cubs that cannot keep up with the team will most likely be abandoned.
There will also be many dangers on the road.
Therefore, Chu Xiaoye decided to seize the time to exercise now.
In addition to practicing climbing trees, he also needs to practice endurance and the muscles of his limbs.
In addition to sharp teeth, a lion's fight also requires a strong body and the striking of its forelimbs.
Ordinary male lions can win in battle just by relying on their slowly growing size and strength in their prime.
So they are very lazy, they only eat and sleep, and eat after sleeping, passively waiting for the peak state of their body to arrive.
Then they seize territory, become kings and hegemons, gather their wives and concubines, and slowly wait to die.
However, Chu Xiaoye couldn't wait.
He must take the initiative to practice and become stronger!
If he can train his muscles to be strong enough, and when he fights, he can slap the opponent on the ground and crawl on the ground, then things will be much simpler.
Even when escaping, it is faster than ordinary lions and can run very far.
Although the lion is powerful, it has no endurance when running. It can only run a short distance before running out of breath, which is far worse than the hyena.
Such a lion looks majestic, but is easily teased.
Hyenas and leopards who are afraid of lions, and even smaller wild dogs, if they are smart, can play with the lions at will.
Chu Xiaoye couldn't let this happen!
"Whoosh!"
He sprinted up the branches of the big tree, then walked to the thinner branches next to him, practicing his balance on the tree.
After practicing on the branches for a while, he climbed down the tree and practiced the muscles of his forelimbs in the grass.
Then, he straightened up again, laid his two forelimbs on the tree trunk, bent his back two limbs, and practiced the hind limbs in a horse stance.
Soon, his young body began to tremble slightly, becoming sore and painful.
However, he still persisted.
Meimei lay next to her mother, looking at him quietly and strangely, wondering what he was doing.
The little lioness seemed to know that her mother was seriously injured and that she was about to leave. She was in a very bad mood at this time.
Xi'er crawled on the ground, closed her eyes, breathed evenly, and seemed to be asleep.
Ever since she was licked by Chu Xiaoye, she felt the pain all over her body gradually lessening, and the wound was numb and itchy, but very comfortable.
At the same time, a strong sense of sleepiness swept over him.
Before she knew it, she fell asleep.
The other lionesses are resting.
The little curly tail lay next to his mother and slept soundly.
There was only Chu Xiaoye, tirelessly doing various weird movements in the bushes and on the big trees.
The sun gradually set towards the west and fell on the horizon of the grassland.
The breeze blew, bringing with it a dry heat.
In the evening.
The lionesses are waking up one after another.
The morning food did not fill their bellies.
They still have lion cubs to feed, so they must add more food, otherwise, the lion cubs will not be able to get milk.
The lion wandered off somewhere.
The four lionesses all looked at Xi'er, who was sleeping soundly on the ground.
If a lioness wants to go hunting, she must leave a healthy lion behind to protect her cubs.
However, their partner, Xi'er, was seriously injured, dying, and would die soon.
Maybe she wouldn't even make it through tonight.
How unreliable it is to expect her to protect the lion cubs.
"Ouch!"
Elsa was a little impatient.
If you don't hunt while it's still dark, the lion cubs will be in even greater danger at night.
Those pesky hyenas like to be active most at night.
The other three lionesses were also a little impatient. They raised their heads and looked into the distance, hoping that the male lion would come back soon.
However, there was no sign of the lion in the distance.
At this time, Xi'er seemed to hear their anxious calls and opened her eyes.
She stood up.
Although he looked a little tired and haggard, his fur was messy and covered in blood.
However, her eyes were still bright and determined.
She stood firm.
It doesn’t look like a poor mother who is seriously injured and is about to die!
The eyes of the four lionesses rested on her, and they seemed a little surprised. They came over one after another and rubbed their bodies and heads with her.
They felt a little weird.
However, now is not the time to dawdle.
The sunset is dim.
Night is coming!
The lioness did not dare to delay and set off immediately.
Xi'er looked at their backs, then lowered her head, glanced at her daughter, and then looked at the wounds on her body, her eyes dazed, as if she were dreaming.
Isn't she going to die
However, after just a short sleep, now, I can't feel any pain.
Moreover, all the wounds on his body began to heal!
Those pesky flies are gone too!
She moved with great ease, and it didn't look like she was seriously injured at all!
The spirit that was sluggish and in a trance in the morning has now become extremely full and healthy!
what happened
She was stunned for a while, then suddenly turned her head and looked at the big tree.
On the big tree, Chu Xiaoye was clinging to the branches with her two forelimbs. Her body was hanging down, her tongue sticking out, and she was doing pull-ups panting.
Xier stared at him blankly for a long time.
