Chapter 344: The Animal Escape
For animals on the prairie, when faced with wildfires on the prairie, the only option is to escape. There is no other way. Animals only have the instinct to escape and have no idea of studying fire.
Chu Ye and Maomao both knew very well how serious the damage to nature would be caused by the fire. Especially ruthless wildfires, fueled by strong winds, will spread at extremely fast speeds, turning everything in their path to ashes.
For older lionesses like Nika and Mira, they may have experienced the baptism of fire and know how serious damage these fires can cause to the savannah.
For some other young lionesses and cubs, they have no idea what will happen next. It just felt like the air was getting hotter and hotter, making all the animals reach the limit of their endurance.
There are many kinds of animals living in the Serengeti savannah. However, most of them have not experienced serious fires.
On the African savannah, although there is a dry season that lasts for half a year every year, it does not mean that there will be fires every year.
Fires generally occur only when the weather is very dry. Just like this year. It has not rained in the Serengeti for more than half a year, and there is no sign of rain.
That's what happens in the dry season. If it stays dry and doesn't rain, it will eventually lead to a fire. This seems to be the law of nature.
Nothing can make nature send rain. Only wildfires, after burning everything, can make nature rain again.
Chu Ye and Maomao had already sensed that danger was coming. If they didn't escape quickly, the consequences would be disastrous.
However, for many animals on the savanna, it may not be known what is going on. It seems that they have not experienced the baptism of fire in this life.
However, for Nika and Mira, they have experienced fire. When they saw this situation, they both immediately became nervous.
'Ouch! Ouch! ---'
Nika and Mira began to call the lion cubs and some young lionesses. They knew that the fire was coming, and the next thing to do was to run away quickly.
Of course, Chu Ye and Maomao also knew that the fire was coming, and the only way to survive was to keep running away to the east.
So, Chu Ye and Maomao started to greet the entire lion group and ran towards the east together.
By this time, it was already broad daylight. The sun rises in the east. And throughout the prairie, there were scenes of flames shooting into the sky. The combination of morning glow and firelight made the sky over the entire prairie look fiery red.
Chu Ye and Maomao led the entire lion group and started running to the east.
Chu Ye knew that there was also a river to the east. And this river is still the Grumedi River. It's just that this river runs north-south here. When it flows to the east, it slowly turns north-south. In other words, the Grumet River flows from west to east and slowly begins to flow south again.
Chu Ye was already familiar with the terrain on the entire prairie. He knew that if he wanted to escape now, it would be safer to run eastward to the east bank of the Grumedi River.
Although Chu Ye and the others can also run from this place to the north bank of the Grumedi River, and the distance is very close. Because their territory is right by the river, they only need to run a few hundred meters back to reach the river.
But when Chu Ye stood on the big tree and took a look, he found that the other side of the river was also on fire.
This is because the water in this section of the river has dried up, leaving only some scattered puddles. After the fire ignited some bushes by the river, it spread to the north bank of the river with the help of the wind.
There was no other way, Chu Ye and the others could only escape eastward. Only by escaping eastward and crossing the Grumedi River will things be more complete.
Because the eastern section of the Grumedi River has not completely dried up, there are still water flowing in some places. As long as you can cross the Grumedi River, you can reach a safer place on the other side.
So, Chu Ye and Maomao led the entire lion group and began to escape eastward.
Fortunately, those little lions are now half a year old, and they already have the ability to run long distances. If it's too small, I'm afraid it won't be able to escape.
Now, the entire prairie is ablaze, and all the animals are rushing to the east.
Whether they are large herbivores or some small carnivores. Anyway, everyone felt that the danger was coming and ran towards the east one by one.
At this time, neither herbivores nor carnivores will fight with each other anymore. They have only one goal, which is to run to the east bank of the Grumedi River.
However, not all animals can escape. Some old, weak, sick and disabled animals may be doomed at this time. Because animals are very selfish, at this time, who will care about the old, weak, sick and disabled animals!
Of course, this is not only true for animals, but also for humans. Once faced with a disaster, if you don't just run for your own life, how can you care about the safety of others?
However, human society is different from animal society after all. When people encounter danger, there will always be some heroes who appear, regardless of personal safety, to save those who are suffering from disaster.
In fact, this is not only true in human society, but also in animal society. Although the fire is ruthless, there will still be some touching scenes.
No, there was a little baboon, because he was afraid of the fire, he climbed up to the top of the big tree, and then he didn't dare to come down. There are fires everywhere on the ground, and this big tree will also catch fire soon.
But this little baboon didn't dare to come down from the tree. If no one saves it, it will only die.
Fortunately, the baboon's mother cannot give up the bond between mother and child. Although it can escape on its own, it does not need to risk itself to save its children.
However, the power of maternal love finally prompted the female baboon to risk her life and jump into the fire again. She climbed up the big tree that was already on fire and killed the little baby who was already frightened by the fire. The baboon was saved.
The baby baboon was saved and climbed onto its mother's back again. The mother baboon carried the baby on her back and ran towards the east. They both finally escaped from danger temporarily.
This scene also allowed Chu Ye and Maomao to see that they had human souls. Looking at this touching scene, they were also moved by the scene.
'Boss, I really didn't expect that there is warmth in the animal world! Maomao said while running and looking at Chu Ye beside him.
