Chapter 183: Robber Lion
Nika and several other injured lionesses have recovered from their injuries and are now ready to hunt again.
When Chu Ye saw this group of buffaloes, he also wondered if it was because the buffaloes had launched a counterattack against this group of female lions, which resulted in the death of one female lion and the injuries to Nika and the others.
It is inevitable that lions will be injured when attacking a herd of buffaloes. After all, buffaloes are very ferocious. Of course, if you want to hunt buffaloes, you have to pay a price.
'Okay, I want to see which buffalo killed one of our lionesses, and I must avenge it. '
Chu Ye now believes that when Nika led the female lions to attack the buffalo, they were counterattacked by the buffalo herd, which resulted in one female lion being killed and the other lions injured.
Besides, Nika and the other lionesses just wanted to hunt now. When they saw this group of buffalo, they were very happy.
It shouldn't be very difficult for eleven female lions to hunt a buffalo. As long as it's not a powerful male buffalo like the buffalo leader. If it were an ordinary female buffalo or a sub-adult male buffalo, eleven female lions could definitely defeat them.
Of course Nika didn't know that Chu Ye was hiding aside and watching their every move.
Nika began to lead the lion group slowly towards the group of buffaloes, and assigned the places where they needed to wait.
When lions hunt large prey like buffalo, they must work together as a team. It is simply impossible for one or two lionesses to hunt an adult buffalo.
The same is true for Nika now. It must first observe which buffalo it needs to hunt, then allocate its troops, and finally start hunting.
If you want to hunt successfully, you must be fully prepared and patient. If you don't have patience, it will be difficult to hunt successfully.
The way the lionesses allocate their forces is actually to encircle their target prey. In other words, the lionesses will arrange a formation next to the target prey they want to hunt.
This formation is where the lionesses form an encirclement. But this encirclement is also in a hidden state. The buffaloes can't see any danger from the outside. Only when they start to escape will they know how powerful the encirclement is.
Under normal circumstances, after the lionesses separate to form a circle, one of the lionesses is asked to drive the buffalo herd. After that, select your target prey, then start chasing this target prey, and finally let the target prey get into your surrounding circle.
Nika and the others were still patiently arranging their hunting formation, and Chu Ye was fine hiding in the bushes.
Suddenly, Chu Ye smelled a smell of rotten food, as if some meat had been left out for a long time and emitted a stench.
'Huh! What is the smell? Is there prey caught by other animals here? '
Chu Ye felt curious for a moment, so he followed the smell and walked some distance further.
At this time, Chu Ye suddenly saw a lion's corpse in the grass in front of him. The corpse was riddled with holes. It was obviously a fur skeleton that was left after being eaten by some other animal.
'What's going on? There is a lion's body on our territory. Which lion's body is it? '
At that time, Chu Ye didn't think it was the female lion of his pride, because it was impossible to tell whether the lion's body was a male or a female.
So, Chu Ye approached the lion's corpse, and he used his nose to smell the stench emanating from the corpse at close range.
Although the smell was unpleasant, Chu Ye could immediately smell the smell of this lion. It was the smell of the missing lioness in their pride. That is one of the six female lions led by Mira.
'Why is it here? Did it really ask the buffalo to kill it? 'Chu Ye recognized the lion's body as the female lion that was lost in their pride.
But after Chu Ye went over and took a closer look, he felt that this idea was unlikely. Because this lioness does not have the bloody holes left after the buffalo's sharp horn attack. Instead, there are two deep canine teeth marks on the neck of this lioness.
'This is not the way to attack, this is the way a lion attacks. '
Chu Ye immediately saw how this female lion was killed. She was killed by a large beast like a lion, not by a buffalo.
'It was a lion that killed this lioness, it must be a male lion. If it were another female lion, it would be impossible to kill a lion in a group of female lions. '
Chu Ye felt that the one who killed this female lion must be a male lion, and a relatively powerful male lion.
'It will be that lion! Could it be that another stray lion has invaded my territory? 'Chu Ye felt that a stray male lion passing by might have killed this female lion.
'But it's not like there are still some problems! If it was a stray male lion, how could it possibly kill a female lion in a huge pride of twelve female lions? If Nika and the others united, not to mention one male lion could not defeat them, even two or three might not be able to defeat them. '
Chu Ye was a little confused about this issue. After all, it is not an easy task to defeat a hunting alliance composed of twelve female lions. Several male lions must unite to defeat the alliance of twelve female lions.
'What happened here yesterday? How could my twelve female lions be attacked by other stray male lions? '
Chu Ye looked at the body of the lioness in front of him. He felt that there were many questions that he couldn't figure out.
'Forget it, I'll still watch Nika and see if they are successful in hunting. If they are frustrated in hunting, I will go over and help them. '
Chu Ye is no different from ordinary male lions, he still cares very much about his female lions. Although he could just lie down and sleep in the camp without any worries. But he felt that it was not interesting just to stay at home and take care of the lion cubs. It would be more interesting to go out and watch the lionesses hunting.
So, Chu Ye left this bush and walked back to the original bush.
From this place, Chu Ye could clearly see how Nica and the others were hunting.
When Chu Ye came back, Nika and the others had already started hunting.
They focused on a young male buffalo, although he was not the leader. But it is also very strong, and it is a big test for Nika and the others.
However, Nika and the others are also determined to win. After all, they had eleven female lions, and they felt they could handle this young, inexperienced male buffalo.
When this male buffalo saw Nika and the others, he started running towards his herd. But Nika soon blocked its path.
The herd was also very scared when they discovered this lioness. Under the leadership of the leader, they immediately ran to the river in the north.
This male buffalo was a little far away from the herd. After all, in a herd, all male buffaloes will be expelled by the leader when they grow up. This is the same as the rules among lions.
This male buffalo did not dare to get too close to other buffaloes, so he went to the side to eat grass by himself.
Nika and the others decided to hunt this bull buffalo when they saw it was in a relatively isolated position. After all, without the care of the buffalo leader, this single stray male buffalo would easily become a target for the lions.
Chu Ye saw that the male buffalo had fallen into the encirclement set up by Nika and the others. He felt that Nika and the others could hunt successfully without taking any action on his own.
Sure enough, Nika and the others quickly surrounded the male buffalo. This male buffalo was quickly overwhelmed by the siege of ten female lions.
Nika bit down on the bull buffalo's throat. The other female lions worked together and quickly brought down the male buffalo.
This male buffalo died soon after being attacked by eleven female lions.
When Chu Ye saw that this group of female lions had quickly succeeded in hunting, he was also very happy, feeling that he could have a feast of beef again.
Nika and the others were also very happy, although they were all out of breath and very tired. But it's all worth it to have such a big harvest.
Nika saw that the buffalo was dead, so she wanted to eat beef with the other lionesses.
Chu Ye also felt that he could come out. In this way, you can enjoy this beef dinner first.
But just when Chu Ye was about to walk over, a lion's roar suddenly came from the distance.
Soon, four tall and strong male lions ran towards Nika and the others.
The leader is taller and more majestic. Although the other three are not as tall and strong as this one, they are all powerful wandering male lions.
These four male lions ran directly towards Nika and the others, and soon they ran to Nika and the others.
Nika and the others were about to eat when four tall and strong male lions suddenly appeared. They were dumbfounded.
I don’t know what happened, but when Nika saw these four male lions, she immediately turned around and ran away in fear.
The same goes for the other ten female lions. They did not dare to compete with these four male lions. They turned around and ran into the bushes nearby.
If eleven female lions unite, they are very powerful. They shouldn't be too afraid of these four male lions.
But Nika and the others didn't know what was going on. As soon as they saw these four male lions, they ran away. Safety dare not fight with them.
The four male lions were very happy when they saw the lionesses running away. He immediately came to the buffalo carcass and was ready to start eating.
Because their target was originally this buffalo, not Nikka and the others. They just want to get the prey they worked so hard to capture.
Nika and the others were naturally very angry when they saw that the prey they had worked so hard to capture turned out to be the delicacies of these four male lions. They could easily snatch other people's tokens without any effort at all.
But Nika and the others did not dare to compete with the four male lions. They could only watch helplessly as the four male lions began to eat the prey they captured.
The leading male lion was tall and majestic. With a proud look on his face, he immediately came under the buffalo's belly and was ready to tear the buffalo's belly apart, hoping to eat the smooth internal organs inside first.
'Roar! ——'
But at this moment, a deep lion roar suddenly came from the bushes nearby. This lion's roar immediately frightened the leading male lion.
Soon, a taller and stronger male lion came in front of the four male lions.
This taller and stronger lion is none other than Chu Ye.
Chu Ye recognized it at a glance. Among the four lions, the tallest and strongest one was none other than Arthur, the former lion king who was defeated by it.
After Arthur was defeated by Chu Ye, he lived a wandering life in this place. But with its strong strength, it quickly united with the other three lions.
During the dry season, male lions usually form hunting alliances in order to survive. Some lions are brothers, while others are just friends.
Just like Arthur and the other three male lions, they are just friends, they are just a temporary hunting alliance.
Because during the dry season, male lions must form an alliance if they want to hunt large prey such as buffalo. Because it is difficult for a male lion to deal with an adult buffalo alone. In other words, it is simply impossible to kill an adult buffalo.
Therefore, in the dry season, male lions usually form a male lion alliance in order to capture large prey such as buffalo.
Just like Arthur and the other four male lions, they have now formed an alliance of male lions. Hunting together outside. Of course, when lionesses from other prides capture prey, they will act as robbers from time to time.
Yesterday, it was Arthur who led the three male lions and encountered the Nikas who were hunting. When Arthur saw Mira and the others, he was very angry. After all, it knew that Mira had betrayed it, so it wanted to deal with Mira and the others.
So, when Nika and the others were preparing to hunt buffalo yesterday, they met Arthur and the others. Arthur and the others ran directly towards this group of female lions.
The four male lions are taller and stronger than the other, and they are very powerful. Although Nika and the others are united, they are no match for these four tall and strong lions.
Finally, Mira, one of the lionesses, was killed by Arthur. Because Arthur originally wanted to teach Mira a lesson. Who told Mira they betrayed it.
Arthur and the other four male lions defeated Nika and their eleven female lions. Not only did he bite Nika and several other female lions, he also killed one of the female lions led by Mira.
The body of the lioness Chu Ye saw just now was killed by Arthur. They killed the lioness and ate her flesh. Just throw away some of the remaining fur into the grass.
