Chapter 352: New Territory
If it weren't for this big river that stopped the fire from spreading all over the sky and continuing to rage eastward, the fire would inevitably continue to advance eastward. In this case, these animals may be buried in the sea of fire, with no possibility of escape.
Chu Ye and Maomao led the entire lion group and successfully crossed the dangerous river, and then came to a relatively safe place on the other side of the river.
Although there is no threat of fire here, survival is not easy no matter where in the prairie when the dry season still exists.
The animals had a narrow escape and escaped from the fire. However, this big river has also become the final destination of many animals. Although many animals escaped the fire, they did not escape the crocodiles in the river.
There are a large number of animals crossing the river that become the delicacies of the crocodiles. They will never see the sun tomorrow again, and their lives end in this big river.
Fortunately, Chu Ye's entire pride did not lose a single lion. Both adult lions and cubs successfully crossed this dangerous river and came to a relatively safe area.
On the other side of the river, although it is not a lush green prairie, at least there is no fire raging here, and animals can live here temporarily.
Since there is a river here, after the animals cross the river, they can only live near this river. After all, animals need to drink water every few days. If there is no water nearby, the animals cannot live.
After Chu Ye and the others crossed the river, they began to look for new territory.
Since the lion pride in Chuye has more than twenty lions, which is a relatively large lion pride, the territory they are looking for is naturally larger.
Chu Ye led the lions and first came to the foot of a huge baobab tree. This huge baobab tree is probably thousands of years old. The diameter of the tree trunk is two to three meters. It is really a towering tree.
Chu Ye decided to use this big tree as the symbol of his new camp and open up his new territory around this big tree.
So, Chu Ye and Maomao led their lions to the foot of this huge baobab tree. Then, he and Maomao discussed establishing a new territory.
'Maomao, let's live here for now! Now the two of us go out together to mark a territory, so that we can hunt in our own territory in the future. '
Chu Ye knew that it was impossible for them to return to their original territory for the time being. Because it is a scorched earth now, if you want to go back, you can only wait until the rainy season comes and the grass sprouts again before you can return to the original land.
After hearing what Chu Ye said, Maomao smiled and said, "Haha, okay, we want to occupy the largest territory. From now on, we will be the kings of this territory." '
'You just want to be king and dominate, not how to hunt. There are more than 20 female lions in our pride and more than ten lion cubs. If there is not enough food, it will be difficult to survive this long period. the dry season. Chu Ye glared at Maomao and said.
'Okay, boss, I know what you mean, let's go mark the new territory first! After Maomao finished speaking, he wanted to leave.
'Okay, you go to the north to mark the territory, and I'll go to the south to mark the territory. 'Chu Ye and Maomao discussed where they should go.
'Okay, let's go our separate ways. Of course Maomao agreed immediately.
So Chu Ye and Maomao walked in opposite directions.
After Chu Ye and Maomao left, Nika, Mila and the others used this huge baobab tree as their camp, surrounding the little lions in the middle.
At this time, the animals on the prairie were in a state of extreme confusion. Many animals that have crossed the river have not yet established their own territories. Under such circumstances, many animals may live together. Whether they are lions, hyenas, or jackals and wild dogs, they may all live in a territory.
Despicable guys like hyenas like to take advantage of others. In such chaotic situations, they often sneak attacks on some lions. Of course, they cannot sneak attack adult lions, and their targets are naturally those weak and inexperienced lion cubs.
Nika and Mira knew that it was very dangerous at this time, so when they saw Chu Ye and Maomao leaving, they quickly surrounded the little lions.
Even so, some hyena groups still noticed Chu Ye, the lion group without the lion king. They came in groups near the Chu Ye lion group, and kept barking. Obviously, they It has been discovered that this pride has many young lions.
These little lions are really an endless temptation to these hyenas. Because these hyenas like to sneak attack the lion cubs in the pride during the dry season.
In many lion cubs, they were killed by hyena attacks and could not survive the long dry season. Therefore, among many lion prides, little lions are most afraid of despicable and cruel guys like hyenas.
In fact, this is indeed the case. On the prairie, a group as powerful as a pride of lions generally has no rivals. No other animal dares to provoke a pride of lions. Only hyenas, known as Africa’s second brother, dare to provoke a pride of lions.
Nika and Mira also knew that this was the time when the little lions were most in danger. Don't look at these little lions who have escaped the crocodile attack. However, they are still in constant danger.
Because of this, the experienced Nika and Mira quickly surrounded the little lions after Chu Ye and Maomao left.
It must be said that Chu Ye and Maomao were a little careless at this time. They felt that there were more than 20 female lions in their pride, and these female lions were fully capable of protecting these little lions.
However, Chu Ye seemed to have forgotten that dogs like hyenas are also very experienced in sneak attacks on lions. They are the most powerful sneak attackers for little lions.
There are more than ten lion cubs in the Chuye pride, which can be considered a hearty meal for some hyena packs. You know, many lion prides now have very few cubs. Because of the long dry season and the fire, even if some lions have crossed the Grumedi River and reached the other side of the river, only adult lions can successfully cross the river. , for some lion cubs, most of them died in the mouth of crocodiles.
Because other lion groups do not have wise lion kings like the Chuye group, their lion kings will not think about how to protect the little lions, they will only think about how to escape.
