Chapter 205: Battle between Lion and Crocodile
Fortunately, Chu Ye believed in his ability, and with so many female lions, they would definitely be able to hunt down a few large crocodiles together.
At night, Chu Ye slept with the lionesses under the big tree, and the lion cubs slept in a circle surrounded by the lionesses.
Because there might be a mutated giant python in their territory, Chu Ye was very careful these days. Although he has not seen the appearance of this mutant python, he believes that his judgment is correct. There must be a mutant python living in their territory.
For safety reasons, Chu Ye did not dare to really fall asleep when he went to bed at night. He always paid attention to the movements around him.
This mutant python is very powerful, much stronger than that mutant hyena. Chu Ye couldn't play it safe. At night, it was a very dangerous time. Chu Ye no longer allowed the lionesses to go hunting at night.
Because at night, if you encounter a giant python, it will be very dangerous. Cold-blooded animals like pythons get more excited at night.
Because they just like dark places. Night is their favorite living environment. During the day, the sun shines on the earth and the weather is very hot. The pythons don't want to move and just want to sleep in the cave.
It's just that in the past few nights, Chu Ye didn't encounter any dangerous things. The neighborhood was very peaceful. There were only some birds and some small animals that were active at night making some small noises nearby, and Chu Ye didn't take them seriously.
The next morning, Chu Ye took the lionesses to hunt. They no longer had large herbivores like buffalo to hunt, so they had to hunt the crocodile, the dominant figure in the water.
Generally, crocodiles like to be active on the shore in the morning. Because in the morning, the temperature of the water is relatively low. Crocodiles, cold-blooded animals, need to go to the shore to bask in the sun.
This time is a good time to hunt crocodiles.
Chuye led Nika, Mira, and Lachi, and began to walk towards the river.
For Nika, Mira and Lachi, they still don’t know what Chuye wants to do! They also wondered if Chu Ye was leading them to drink water!
It’s just that lions usually go to drink water at noon. It was morning now, and Chu Ye actually led the lions towards the river, which made the lionesses a little confused.
However, since it was the Lion King who brought them here, of course they could only agree. Because they must obey Chu Ye's leadership.
Chu Ye, the lion king, is different from other monkey kings. Other lion kings are not the real 'kings' in a pride of lions. The life of a pride of lions is actually a matrilineal life. It is the lioness who maintains the daily work of a pride of lions.
Things like hunting are all taken care of by the lioness. And there is an experienced lioness as their hunting leader.
The male lions are just a security guard among the lions. They are only used to protect the safety of the lions.
But Chu Ye is different from other male lions. He is definitely the leader of this pride and the leader of all the female lions in this pride. Chu Ye will arrange the entire lion group and all the work.
It was of course Chu Ye's idea to go to the river to hunt crocodiles today, but he did not discuss it with Nika and the others, and led them, the female lions, towards the river.
Nika and the others just followed Chu Ye. When they came to the river and saw some crocodiles on the river bank, Nika, Mira and the others did not dare to go forward.
Crocodiles and lions are both apex predators on the savannah. But when lionesses meet adult crocodiles, they are still a little scared. They generally dare not provoke these guys with sharp teeth and solid armored skin.
Crocodiles are undoubtedly successful on the road of evolution. They not only have large mouths and sharp teeth for attack, but also have solid armor for defense. At the same time, crocodiles are also amphibious and can move both in water and on land.
It is precisely because of the unique survival skills of crocodiles that they have been able to survive from the age of dinosaurs to the present, making them veritable living fossils.
Under normal circumstances, lions do not dare to provoke crocodiles at all. Only when they are very hungry are they likely to hunt down the overlord in the water.
This morning, Chu Ye decided to lead the lionesses to hunt the overlord in the water. Since the lionesses wanted to taste crocodile meat that day, today, he was going to satisfy their previous thoughts.
But when these lionesses understood Chu Ye's intention, they became a little timid. There are more than a dozen large crocodiles lying beside the river, basically all of them are adult crocodiles over three meters tall.
These crocodiles are lying down by the river, enjoying the morning sunshine. Although these overlords in the water saw the group of lions coming towards them, they pretended not to see them.
Relying on their strong strength, these guys didn't take Chu Ye and this group of lions seriously at all. Although the lion Chu Ye was very tall and mighty, Chu Ye's tall image seemed to be of no use in front of the more ferocious crocodile. His powerful aura can shock any animal on the prairie. But it can't scare these killers in the water who are used to being arrogant.
Chu Ye saw that the lionesses were a little scared, so he roared at them first. After that, he took the lead and was the first to rush towards the crocodiles.
This was a very bold decision, no matter how powerful Chu Ye was, facing a dozen adult crocodiles. Chu Ye's decision was also a bit risky.
When Chu Ye rushed towards the dozen crocodiles, the dozen crocodiles were immediately startled. Instead of running away, they raised their heads and opened their mouths, preparing to fight Chu Ye.
After all, they have more than a dozen big crocodiles together, so naturally they will not take a male lion seriously. Even if Chu Ye is taller and stronger than ordinary male lions, his appearance is enough to scare away any one who dares to challenge him. of lion. But its appearance cannot deter these ruthless killers in the water.
Chu Ye ran directly towards the three-meter-long crocodile closest to him. When this big crocodile saw Chu Ye, a very tall and strong lion, he naturally did not dare to neglect it and was immediately ready to fight.
Although the other dozen or so crocodiles were not very far away from this one, they had no intention of coming to help.
Because crocodiles basically live alone, they do not live in a group. Even if sometimes they are seen hunting together, it is just because they encountered a group of prey and everyone came to fight for it.
Chu Ye decided to operate on this big crocodile first, hoping to kill this crocodile so that he could scare away other crocodiles. At the same time, Chu Ye can also use his actions to show his determination to these lionesses.
This is a huge crocodile that is three to four meters long and weighs at least three hundred kilograms. In this water area, it may be a king-like existence.
This big crocodile occupies the most advantageous terrain on the river bank. This place can bask in the sun and is relatively close to the river. It can run into the river at any time.
It should be said that it is very difficult for Chu Ye to hunt this big crocodile. Because this big crocodile, even if it couldn't defeat Chu Ye, could still escape into the water.
Even this big crocodile felt that he didn't have anything to worry about. Even though Chu Ye, this male lion, is particularly tall and mighty, he has amazing fighting power. But even if it couldn't defeat Chu Ye, it could always run into the river.
Therefore, this big crocodile didn't pay attention to Chu Ye at all. This was the territory of other people's crocodiles. If the lions dared to come to their territory to hunt, they were obviously bullying them. How could they run away so casually? !
Chu Ye also knew that when hunting this big crocodile, he must unite his enemies, otherwise, it would easily escape into the water.
Therefore, when Chu Ye came to this big crocodile, he was not in a hurry to bite it. He wanted to find a suitable opportunity and kill it with one blow.
If you want to kill a crocodile directly, you have to bite the crocodile directly on the back and neck like a jaguar. Because the bite hit this position, the crocodile tried to resist, but it was useless. Because you bit its neck, its head cannot come back to bite you.
Although the crocodile is powerful, its neck is not as flexible as that of mammals, and it cannot turn around to attack its enemy. Once the enemy bites its neck, it will be difficult for it to fight back effectively.
Of course, the enemy that bites it must be similar in size and weight to this crocodile, or even heavier.
Just like the reason why jaguars can include alligators in their menu and often hunt American crocodiles is because American crocodiles are far less powerful than Nile crocodiles. The American crocodile may be only half the weight of the jaguar, so how can it possibly counterattack the jaguar's attack?
The jaguar is much more powerful than the leopard on the savannah, because the jaguar is also called a puma or a jaguar. Anyway, it is not an animal like a leopard as we ordinary people imagine. It is actually an animal like a liger, but its fur color is more like a leopard, so everyone likes to call it a jaguar.
On the one hand, the jaguar is much larger than the American crocodile, and on the other hand, the American crocodile is much smaller than the Nile crocodile. In this way, the American crocodile has become the food of the jaguar in the Amazon rainforest. Not only can jaguars easily take down American crocodiles, but even giant pythons like anacondas can also easily take down American crocodiles. It can be said that the status of American crocodiles in the Amazon rainforest is far inferior to that of the Nile crocodile, which is a crocodile.
In the African savannah, even lions do not dare to provoke Nile crocodiles, let alone cheetahs and leopards. Not only do these two leopards not dare to provoke Nile crocodiles in the savannah, on the contrary, they also want to Go to drink water and occasionally become food for Nile crocodiles.
The big crocodile in front of Chu Ye was the apex predator on the prairie. It probably didn't pay attention to any animal except the hippopotamus, another overlord in the water.
Although Chu Ye was confident of defeating this Nile crocodile, he also knew that if he could not provoke the enemy, his work might be in vain. Because once a Nile crocodile escapes into the water, it is difficult to catch it again.
Even though Chu Ye was a super lion on the prairie, with amazing fighting power, that was only on land. If it were in the water, Chu Ye might not be able to defeat these overlords in the water.
After all, crocodiles are better suited to activities in the water, and they can lurk in the water for hours without moving. Lions cannot lurk in the water for a long time. Even if Chu Ye has a special ability and can lurk in the water for more than ten minutes, it will be difficult to hunt an adult Nile crocodile in the water.
Because in the water, for animals on land, you just can't use your strength. No matter how strong you are, you will become a weakling in the water.
On the contrary, these animals that were born in water may not have much strength on land, but in the water, their strength is amazing.
Just like some big fish, you can easily catch it on land and control it, but in the water! You may not be able to control it at all, and its power is far greater than you think.
Chu Ye knew that he could not hunt this big crocodile in the water. He had to fight quickly to conquer this big crocodile on land.
Therefore, Chu Ye first adopted the tactic of surrounding but not attacking, and just kept circling around the big crocodile.
This big crocodile didn't take Chu Ye seriously. It came back and twisted its huge body, raised its huge head, opened its big mouth and exposed its steel teeth, trying to bite Chu Ye directly.
But how could Chu Ye let it bite him? Although Chu Ye was huge, he was also very flexible. He jumped up and down in front of this big crocodile, dodging left and right. It can easily handle the attack of this big crocodile.
This big crocodile looked at Chu Ye and was extremely angry. It opened its big mouth and always wanted to bite Chu Ye. But it just couldn't hit it.
Chu Ye also deliberately showed off in front of the big crocodile. Sometimes, he even deliberately approached the big crocodile slowly and deliberately teased it.
'come! Come and bite me! You big idiot, how could you possibly bite me. '
'Haha, what kind of big crocodile are you? You are just a big stupid pig. You can't bite me at all. '
Chu Ye deliberately teased the big crocodile in front of it. The big crocodile was so angry that it was so angry that it wanted to bite Chu Ye's head and explode the lion's head with a crocodile.
It's a pity that Chu Ye is not an ordinary lion, he is too cunning and powerful. The big crocodile can only use its efforts in vain, it is impossible to explode Chu Ye's head.
The giant crocodile has a huge body and is difficult to move. Every time it attacks, it consumes a lot of energy. On the shore, when a crocodile attacks, it may consume several times more energy than in the water.
After several rounds of this, the big crocodile not only failed to bite Chu Ye, but on the contrary, it was exhausted and panting.
This is what Chu Ye wants. He wants to consume the big crocodile's physical strength first, and then kill it with one blow.
Just like this, after more than ten minutes, Chu Ye felt that the big crocodile was extremely tired, and it had no strength to toss with Chu Ye anymore.
And this big crocodile also felt that Chu Ye was too cunning. It couldn't bite Chu Ye at all, and it couldn't beat Chu Ye. It had better escape back into the water to avoid letting this cunning big lion take over. It's a big deal.
So, this big crocodile wanted to escape. It attacked Chu Ye first, and then suddenly turned back and ran towards the river. It is only five or six meters away from the river, and you can quickly run into the water.
When Chu Ye saw that the big crocodile was about to escape, he naturally did not dare to neglect it. This is the opportunity it is waiting for. So, Chu Ye Ye jumped up. As soon as the big crocodile ran to the river and its head touched the water, Chu Ye jumped up and bit it on the back and neck.
