You Plan To Kill Me With Meng? - Chapter 48.2

T/N: Updates will now be daily! I’ll let you all know should there be changes.

While Qiao Qixi, like a big cat, was lying in the grass thicket waiting, similarly staying in the nearby thicket motionless was Miantuan.

The young male lion, who has never accompanied a lioness in hunting before, appeared at the hunting scene for the first time today.

Also, not sure if he was nervous or not.

Mingtuan is quiet and soundless. For a while, he lifts his eyes and stares at the wildebeest herd in the distance, and then, for a while, assesses the male lion nearby.

He probably…..can get closer a little bit more.

The white lion lifted its buttocks and, moving lightly and carefully, approached Qiao Qixi a distance of about half a meter, then stopped again cautiously.

Qiao Qixi turned his head and glanced at him, his half-closed light golden eyes carrying a faint warning implication.

Hoping he will be well-behaved.

On the grassland, indeed, there are no lionesses who will take their only several months old cubs with them to go hunting.

Mischievous cubs might affect the hunting progress, not to mention, there is also a possibility of getting injured.

Qiao Qixi considered it as there being no other option.

The nearby wildebeests were all eating grass, feeding leisurely. Among them, one wildebeest, possibly feeling heartfelt while eating, gradually separated from the group.

Qiao Qixi immediately focused on that one. He stood up, and before leaving, once again glanced at Mingtuan. His entire face expressing ‘Do not move from this place and wait for dad to go and hunt a wildebeest for you.’

The white lion is motionless and not moving.

Eyes following the male lion.

The other party’s entire body muscles are tense, and using the lightest pace, slowly approaching the wildebeest from the correct direction.

Qiao Qixi must ensure that when he launches the attack, that wildebeest will escape according to his anticipated route.

Rather than running towards the herd; otherwise, he will fail.

When animals are subjected to disturbances, how they choose paths to escape, even humans haven’t researched this topic deeply.

Qiao Qixi, however, is an experienced old hand.

Firstly, his ability to hide his presence and conceal his form is truly clever, and his low presence makes it impossible for the wildebeest to perceive the approaching danger.

In a barren place like the Arctic, Qiao Qixi could conceal himself well, let alone on the grassland with quite a few obstacles.

He intensely focused his mind and approached the wildebeest’s side and rear, a position he felt was suitable.

Then, not sure for how long he observed quietly, he waited until he finally felt the feeling of a ripe opportunity. A streak of a yellow silhouette darted out rapidly.

Like an arrow.

The first strike was not to kill but solely for driving the wildebeest to the intended side, cutting off the opponent’s idea of returning to the herd for aid.

Because if the wildebeest does not evade according to the anticipated route, there would no more be an afterwards for this hunt.

Fortunately, Qiao Qixi’s luck was not so bad. His prediction was successful, and he strove for the second strike’s timing — this time directly bearing his fangs to pounce and bite onto the wildebeest’s throat.

Lions hunting wildebeests are mostly afraid of encountering the hooves of the other side and being trampled, as well as the horns on their heads, and finally, being subjected to a group beating.

Having already avoided being trampled by a mass-attack, the sly male lion tightly held onto the wildebeest’s throat. Then, firmly embracing its neck, and before the wildebeest could counterattack, swung its head ferociously.

His powerful biting force combined with the sturdy and well-developed muscles of his neck, instantly tore open the wildebeest’s throat.

Fresh warm blood instantly flowed continuously.

Typically, in this situation, lions would absolutely be reluctant to let go; they would choose to continue attacking and bite onto the wildebeest without letting go of their grip. However, this easily led to injuries. Even if they were only minor injuries, Qiao Qixi cannot afford them at this moment.

In a battle between a lion and a wildebeest, it was nothing more than consuming each other’s endurance, expending the other side’s stamina to see who would get tired faster.

Qiao Qixi does not like it this way. He would adjust his tactics according to the circumstances. When the wildebeest discovers an opening to escape, it cannot afford caring about counterattacking the lion. Therefore, it was this point that Qiao Qixi constantly took advantage of and deliberately created a false impression of an opportunity to escape; both preventing the opponent from consuming his own stamina and also avoiding getting injured.

This wildebeest, having been targeted by him on all its vulnerable parts, after suffering a severe blow to its throat, was now at the end of the crossbow.

T/N: Last arrow of the crossbow- idiom meaning ‘in a dire situation’.

The male lion swiftly took it down like a nemesis.

The distant herd of wildebeests probably already know what occurred on this side, but the very weak calls of their companion made them look but step back.

T/N: to look but step back – idiom meaning ‘to hesitate’.

Some normal grassland lions are rather quite leisurely. After killing their prey, they like to stare blankly for a while, unlike Qiao Qixi, who, after his prey fell to the ground, immediately dragged it up to leave.

His sense of crisis determined that, unlike other male lions, he will not carry out unnecessary pre-meal rituals.

Some lions with a sense of ceremony: Is it too much to show off?

All dust settled and the white lion walked out from the thicket.

Blinking his blue eyes and gazing at the male lion who hunted successfully.

“…….” Qiao Qixi was breathing heavily, the bout of recent scuffle raising his body temperature very high. As he walked by, he only had enough energy to give the little one a glance.

Signaling the other party to follow.

This is truly a smart young lion. He followed behind Qiao Qixi, moving while also turning his head to look around, raising his ears and staying alert of the surroundings.
