Chapter 6 The Lion Attacks
Today is a special day for Chu Ye. He knows that his body is extraordinary and has immunity that other lions do not have. At the same time, its saliva seems to be able to detoxify.
Also, he had cured Xiao Hei and saved his life. Xiao Hei has become Chu Ye's friend and will no longer be at odds with Chu Ye.
In the next few days, Chu Ye still felt very good.
Every day, both lionesses catch prey at night, allowing them to rest during the day.
Although Chu Ye and the others don't eat much meat, the lioness's milk is abundant and they eat well every day.
But for Chu Ye, there is still a bad feeling, because the dry season is coming, and there will not be many such good days.
During the dry season, animals on the African savannah live on the edge of danger every day. Not only do carnivores not have that much prey to catch, but even herbivores have to wander around in search of places with green grass because of the withering of some grass.
Just like the buffalo, an animal that cannot live without water, during the dry season, it wanders from the southern part of the African savannah to the north to live.
One early morning, when Chu Ye was still sleeping, he suddenly felt a vibration coming from the earth, as if many animals were coming from a distance.
Chu Ye opened his eyes and climbed out of the bushes. He saw countless zebras and wildebeests walking past the territory of their pride.
Lisa, Aisha, and Jike all stood under the big tree, looking at the migrating army in the distance, their eyes full of helplessness.
When the other little lions heard the noise, they also came out of their dens.
But they were still jumping around and didn't care about the wildebeest and zebra army in the distance.
Chu Ye knew what this army's westward march meant.
In the days without wildebeest and zebra, the carnivores on the savannah will live a precarious life.
Carnivores don't just eat herbivores. When herbivores are scarce, they have to cannibalize each other in order to survive.
Chu Ye knew that their good days would be over, and the entire prairie would enter a troubled period.
After the wildebeest and zebra army left, what was left behind was dry earth and hungry lips.
The next day, just as Chu Ye climbed out of the bushes, he heard the roar of a lion in the distance.
'Ouch! ——Ouch! ——'
Chu Ye saw a strong male lion walking from the boundary of their pride.
The mane on the neck is very long and has turned dark brown.
It shows that it is a strong male lion in its prime, probably about six years old.
Jike was climbing on a rock to rest when he suddenly heard the roar of a lion in the distance and woke up immediately.
Same with Lisa and Elsa.
They both quickly looked up at a strong male lion walking towards this side.
This male lion roared and walked directly towards Jike.
Obviously, this stray lion is here to challenge Jike.
Jike was startled and immediately jumped down from the boulder, roaring angrily. He was very angry at this audacious intruder.
You know, generally stray male lions suddenly attack a certain group of lions at night.
But this male lion actually came to challenge Jike in broad daylight.
It seems that it feels that it has the strength to defeat Zike.
The dry season has come, and the wandering lions are restless. They know that this is a good time to seize the throne.
Because during the dry season, the life of the lions is more difficult, the living standard of the lion king will decline, and the strength of the lion king will also decline.
Generally speaking, the dry season is the best time for wandering lions to compete for the throne of the Lion King.
It's just that this wandering male lion is a little too anxious. The dry season has just begun, and it wants to compete for the throne.
Now the two male lions roared and ran directly towards each other. It seems that a big war is about to begin.
Lisa and Aisha watched their leader go out to fight. They just lay there and watched without making any move.
The few lion cubs seemed to have realized something, and they lay down next to the lioness and stopped daring to play.
Chu Ye was also a little scared, because he knew very well what serious consequences such a battle would have. If his father, the lion king, loses, then their ten little lions will be doomed.
So, Chu Ye climbed directly to the big tree. He felt that he would be safer only on the big tree.
The other little lions obviously didn't realize how serious the consequences of this battle would be.
Lisa and Elsa didn't go to help either. This seemed to be some of the rules in the lion world. When the male lions went out to fight, the lionesses just stayed aside and didn't go up to help.
Of course, sometimes, they will help, depending on some special circumstances.
For example, its child is very old. If the lion king loses, they may have to take the child to wander. In this case, the lioness will help the lion king fight.
In another situation, when the lion king gets older, the lionesses themselves don’t want him anymore.
Therefore, if a young male lion invades, these lionesses may turn against the old lion king and drive away the old lion king, allowing the new lion king to take his place.
Now that Zeke is still young, Lisa and Elsa will not chase him away.
It's just that the two of them have a certain instinct and will just stand by and watch the battle between the male lions, with no intention of participating.
The two male lions roared and ran toward each other. A battle for the lion king was about to begin.
Jike was about the same size as this invading male lion, and both were male lions in their prime. It seems that the two male lions are equally powerful.
Sure enough, the two lions competed for several rounds, and it was hard to tell who could beat the other.
Lisa and Elsa just lay under the big tree and watched the two male lions fighting in the distance. They had no intention of participating in the battle.
But Chu Ye, who was hiding in the tree, was a little anxious.
This invading lion is very strong, and Jike may not have a chance of winning.
Originally, in such a situation, the lionesses should go out to fight, because once the lion king loses, the consequences will be serious.
But their little lions are only two months old, and their instinct drives them not to participate in such a war.
If their cubs are over six months old, they may participate in the war and help Jike drive away the invading male lions.
Now, the two of them are indifferent and have no intention of helping.
"What can we do? If the father of the lion king loses, then the performance of our ten little lions will not be guaranteed."
Looking at the two lionesses who were indifferent, Chu Ye jumped up and down on the tree anxiously.
