Chapter 202: Abnormal Situation by the River
The river is very calm, as if there are no animals in the river, it is a river where no wild animals live.
Chu Ye would come to this river to drink water almost every day. In the past, whenever Chu Ye came here, he would see a lot of wild animals. After all, most animals choose to come to drink water at noon.
Because the weather is hot at noon, the animals need to drink some water to prevent heatstroke and cool down. The same goes for Chu Ye and the female lions in their pride. They also need to come here to drink water and cool down.
However, what made Chu Ye feel a little strange today was that there were very few wild animals coming here to drink water, only a few impalas drinking water here. But he was also very careful, he just took a few sips and ran away again.
Chu Ye didn't pay much attention at first. He knew that these animals were worried that there would be aquatic killers like crocodiles in the water.
Indeed, for animals, the biggest problem with drinking water is that crocodiles will attack them.
Because for most animals, the crocodile, the overlord in the water, is the guy they can't afford to offend. If it weren't for drinking water, no animal would be willing to hang out by the river.
Although most animals know that there is danger in the river, they must come to drink water. After all, animals need to drink water to stay alive. Animals can go many days without food, but they cannot go many days without drinking water.
Of course, for some small animals, they may not know how dangerous it is to drink water from the river, and they only think it is fun. I even wanted to take a bath in the river.
But in fact, on the prairie, no matter how hot it is, very few animals dare to bathe in the river. Of course, except for the elephant, this guy is the unrivaled Big Mac on the savannah.
For adult elephants, they can roam freely on the savanna. No animal dares to compete with an adult elephant.
Even crocodiles don't dare attack adult elephants. Of course, some elephants that are not yet adults may also become targets of attacks by crocodiles.
Except for elephants who dare to bathe in the river, other animals probably don't dare to bathe in the river. Even large herbivores like buffalo will not go to the river if it is not to escape the heat and cool down.
Even the lion, the king of the prairie, has to be careful when drinking water from the river.
Adult crocodiles don't care whether you are a lion or another herbivore. As long as they see the opportunity, they will definitely attack directly.
But Chu Ye was an unusual male lion. It was so huge that there was no need to worry about the crocodiles daring to attack it.
There was once a crocodile that tried to attack Chu Ye while he was drinking water, but Chu Ye was dragged ashore and killed.
Therefore, Chu Ye could safely drink water by the river without worrying that the crocodiles would dare to attack him.
But today, Chu Ye felt strange. He didn't see any shadow of crocodile in the river. But many wild animals dare not come to drink water.
Nika and the others were not as worried as Chu Ye thought. When they came to drink water with Chu Ye before, as long as they were protected by Chu Ye, they could drink water with confidence without worrying about the crocodiles in the water daring to attack them.
It's the same today. Nika and the others don't care about anything strange at the river. They just run to the river so they can drink water.
The same goes for Chu Ye, who also hurried to the river. After all, he was also very thirsty and wanted to drink some water.
But when Chu Ye drank water, he still carefully stared at the situation in the river. Because it knows that some crocodiles will hide at the bottom of the river. They can lie there motionless for several hours, but when an animal comes to drink water, they will suddenly attack their target.
Crocodiles are very clumsy animals. They can't run fast on land either. But they are different in the water. They move very quickly in the water, especially when they attack prey, they can be said to be as fast as lightning.
Chu Ye knew how powerful crocodiles were. He drank water while watching over the female lions in his pride. He knew that even if there were crocodiles in the water, they would not dare to attack a super male lion like him. Only attacks female lions and their cubs.
Only today, there were no crocodiles coming to cause trouble. The water seems to be very calm all the time, as if there are no animals like crocodiles in the river at all.
This made Chu Ye himself feel a little strange. He didn't understand what was going on. This phenomenon should be considered relatively abnormal. You know, at this time, it is the time when the crocodiles are hunting. Because there will be many wild animals coming here to drink water, the crocodiles will hide excitedly by the river, waiting for opportunities to attack their prey.
In the past, when Chu Ye went to the river to drink water, he would see some crocodiles lurking by the river, just like wooden piles. If the animals don't understand the situation, they will think that the head of these crocodiles is a wooden stake floating in the water.
When this wooden pile floated towards them, many animals did not know that danger was approaching them.
Crocodiles use their special appearance to hide animals that come to the river to drink water. If you are not an animal with extraordinary life experience, it would be difficult to distinguish some strange things in the water, what they are, and whether they pose any threat to you.
Of course, Chu Ye was different from them. He could easily identify those as crocodiles in the water and those as real tree branches.
Under the protection of Chu Ye, Nika and the others can drink water by the river with confidence. Even so, they would take a few sips and then quickly raise their heads to look at the river water, fearing that there might be a scary crocodile lurking in it.
Chu Ye went to the river to drink water first. After he was full, he did not leave. Instead, he continued to stay by the river, protecting the lionesses and lion cubs who also came to the river to drink water.
When Chu Ye asked other lions to drink water, he stared at the water in the distance. He wanted to see if there were any crocodiles in the river.
But when Chu Ye carefully observed the water surface, he suddenly felt a rolling motion in the middle of the river, as if there were some large animals moving in it.
But the water in the river is a little turbid. You can only see the water rolling, but you can't see what animals are hiding in the water.
However, Chu Ye didn't think much about it at this time, feeling that it must be a crocodile. When they saw that they were here to drink water, they did not dare to come to the river. But I was a little willing, so I tossed in the middle of the river to express my complicated mood of wanting to attack these lions but not daring to do so.
But Chu Ye suddenly felt that a long and thick black shadow appeared in the river. This black shadow swam quickly and soon disappeared among the water plants by the river in the distance.
'Huh! What is that? It doesn’t look like a crocodile no matter how you look at it! '
Chu Ye was sure that the thing was not a crocodile, but he couldn't see clearly what it was. Because the river water was a bit turbid, and the thing was not completely exposed to the water, but was just floating in the water, Chu Ye, who was standing on the bank, could not tell what kind of animal it was.
