Chapter 159 Kuroo is pretending
Among the lions, Chu Ye has the highest status, followed by the lioness and the lion cubs. Finally, there is that poor guy Kuroo.
The six lionesses devoured the buffalo and soon all that was left was a skeleton.
At this time, the six female lions also felt full. They left the buffalo's skeleton and came to Chu Ye. They lay down next to Chu Ye, looking docile.
More than a dozen little lions were jumping and playing in front of Chu Ye and the female lions, looking happy.
For these little lions, it was their luck to meet Chu Ye. But they encountered the black tail again, and that was their misfortune.
Kuroo saw that the six female lions had finally eaten enough and rested. Then he walked pitifully to the buffalo carcass with only a skeleton left, and began to stick out his tongue to eat the meat residue on the bones.
Carnivores have small meat hooks on their tongues, which they can use to eat meat residue from bones. In this way, when they eat food, there is no waste at all.
In the dry season on the prairie, food is very scarce. No matter what kind of food it is, as long as it is edible, the animals on the prairie will eventually eat it all, and in the end there may not even be bones left.
Chu Ye and six female lions were lying not far away. They quietly watched the poor Black Tail eating the meat residue on the buffalo bones.
Black Tail was very hungry, but there were too few meat scraps. He had been eating for a long time, but it was just a way to fill his stomach.
Chu Ye looked at Kuroo for a while and felt that it was not interesting. He led the six lionesses and cubs away from here and returned to their camp.
Blacktail reluctantly added the food scraps to the eater, even though he was very angry. But it can't help it. It had no other choice, either to continue wandering on its own, or to live an ignoble existence under Chu Ye's rule.
Chu Ye's performance today moved the six female lions very much. They knew that Chu Ye would never hurt their little lion. Not only will it not hurt them, it will definitely protect them.
Originally, the pride of lions was supported by female lions. Lionesses do all the hunting. Not to mention that the lion group where Chu Ye is located has six female lions. Even among the Jike lion group, there are only two female lions, Lisa and Aisha. Jack usually does not hunt. Most of the time, it is Lisa and Aisha. Elsa goes hunting together.
Everyone is full today, so there is no need to think about hunting.
But if they eat a full meal, they can only last for two or three days at most. After two or three days, I will feel very hungry again.
These six female lions are raising cubs. They must eat enough every day to produce more milk to feed the more than ten lion cubs.
The next morning, the six female lions decided to hunt on their own, but they were worried about the safety of their cubs after they left.
Among the six female lions, one is older and can be considered a more experienced lioness. Her name is Nika. In this pride of lions, Nika plays a very important role. It is she who arranges the day's life every day.
In fact, among a pride of lions, the real leader is not the male lion. Although male lions are called lion kings, they only play a role in guarding the territory in a pride. The real daily management work is arranged by the most experienced lioness in the pride.
Female lions will lead other female lions to hunt together, and will also arrange for male lions to patrol the territory. Sometimes, a lioness is placed at home to care for her cubs.
In short, the life of a pride of lions can be regarded as a matriarchal society in a sense. At this point, the life of a pride of lions is similar to that of hyenas. The females are in charge of all family affairs.
However, because of their huge size, male lions naturally have some privileges among the lions. They can only be responsible for guarding the territory, and they can also enjoy the benefits. Every time they eat food, they also have the priority to enjoy the prey.
That was it today. After Nika got up in the morning, she arranged her work. She didn't dare to command Chu Ye. Only a few lionesses can be assigned work.
Due to Chu Ye's performance yesterday, he has won the trust of these lionesses, and they no longer have to worry about Chu Ye killing their cubs.
But they are not safe and secure. After all, they have only been with Chu Ye for a few days, and their previous relationship was relatively light.
Nika decided to let Feifei stay and take care of the cubs today. They wanted to test whether Chu Ye would really let their cubs go. The reason why it asked Feifei to take care of the cubs was because Feifei was very young and didn't have much hunting experience yet. It would be more appropriate to let him go hunting than to let him take care of the cubs at home.
Of course Nika and the others were worried about this guy Kuroo. But they also saw that Chu Ye was completely different from this brother. Although they are brothers, they have no brotherhood at all.
It was like this. Chu Ye and this brother had never lived together before. It's just that because they are both Lisa's children, they can live together temporarily for a while.
After Nika arranged these things, she led several lionesses to hunt together.
After Feifei saw Nika and the others leaving, she came over to take care of the cubs.
However, for Feifei, she was also a little scared. Facing two strong male lions, it had no ability to resist. If Chu Ye immediately turned against him and wanted to kill these cubs, then Feifei would have no choice at all.
Fortunately, Chu Ye was not an ordinary lion. People with human thoughts would have the heart to kill these cute little lions.
But after Kuroo saw the other lionesses leaving, he looked at Feifei and the lion cubs, with a greedy look in his eyes.
However, when it saw Chu Ye's tall and fierce appearance, it could only hide its little thoughts deeply in its heart.
Although Kuroo is young, he is older than Chuye, so he has some life experience. Faced with his unfavorable situation, he decided to hide his strength and bide his time, looking for opportunities to show some color to these female lions.
After the lionesses left, Feifei and the little lions were playing under the big tree. However, Feifei still paid attention to the movements of Chu Ye and Kuroo. If they have any intention, it will roar immediately to make the little lions hide, and it will also immediately notify Nika who is hunting outside.
These little lions have no idea what these two strong male lions in front of them mean to them.
As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. These little lions just played around Feifei at first. But as they played, they became bolder and even ran in front of Chu Ye.
Of course Chu Ye wouldn't do anything to them and started playing with them. After all, in Chu Ye's eyes, these little lions were all furry and chubby, and looked very cute.
Feifei was a little worried when she saw a little lion running in front of Chu Ye, but she also wanted to see if Chu Ye would do anything to the little lion. When it saw Chu Ye happily playing with these little lions, it felt relieved.
These little lions were just playing with Chu Ye at first. After a while, a little lion actually ran up to Kuroo.
Upon seeing this situation, Chu Ye was still a little worried. It also wondered if Kuro Tai would kill the little lion directly. Even Feifei ran over quickly, trying to stop the little lion and Black Tail from playing.
But Kuroo's performance surprised everyone. It did not hunt the little lion. Instead, like Chu Ye, it played with the little lion as if it were the biological father of these little lions.
Seeing Kuroo's performance, Chuye and Feifei were relieved.
Chu Ye also wondered if Blacktail had really changed for the better and no longer planned to kill these lion cubs, but was willing to coexist peacefully with them.
But only Kuroo himself knew that all his actions were just pretentious. He was now trying to gain the trust of Chu Ye and the lionesses. Only in this way does it have a chance to get close to these lion cubs and kill them.
For any male lion who has become the lion king, it is their instinct to kill the cubs in the original pride. From this point of view, any male lion will not change his instinct.
Just out of some kind of helplessness, they will temporarily hide their instincts, and only when they have the opportunity will they reveal their true nature again.
Black Tail is like this. He plans to get along with these little lions for the time being, and then come and take care of these little guys when there is a chance.
Nika led the lionesses to hunt nearby, because they were not too worried about Chu Ye and Heiwei, and just wanted to catch a random prey and come back quickly.
Fortunately, their hunting work was relatively smooth. There were many warthogs in this place. They quickly hunted an adult warthog, and then returned to the camp with the prey in their mouths.
When they came back, they saw the lion cubs playing with Chuye and Kuroo. There was no barrier at all, as if they were a family.
The lionesses looked at the harmonious and tender scene in front of them. They felt that Chu Ye and Kuroo had completely accepted these little lions and would no longer consider hunting them.
The lionesses threw the warthog in front of Chuye and Kuroo, as if they wanted them to enjoy the food first.
As soon as Blacktail smelled the warthog scent, he immediately wanted to devour it. After all, it didn't eat anything yesterday, it just ate some food scraps.
Chu Ye is not very hungry. He was full yesterday. Even if he doesn't eat for two or three days, he won't feel particularly hungry.
