You Plan To Kill Me With Meng? - Chapter 49.3 - Prairie Lions Alliance (04)
49.3
This move is indeed effective. Smelling the scent of the male lion, the little lion cubs truly recognize this as their territory. It seems like this is an innate knowledge for lions.
In summary, they stay at ease inside the den, waiting for Qiao Qixi to come back.
Hunting on the grassland not only relies on strength but also requires luck.
If you can’t find prey, it exactly means having skills without any room for displaying them.
This time, Qiao Qixi went away for a long time. The little lions woke up quietly from sleep but did not find the male lion who had gone to hunt braving the rain return. This inevitably caused a slight sense of confusion and unease in them.
Dough squatted before the rain, and the drifting water mist wet the fur on his ears, making him shake his ears.
His eyebrows drooped, focusedly looking in the direction the male lion had left.
The deep eyes make the white lion not look like a nine-month-old cub, or perhaps, it was the ordeals experienced that have prematurely matured him.
One furry lump walked over and squatted together with the white lion, waiting. It was the languid Old Fourth; he seemed to have just woken up, still yawning with a tired face.
Perhaps this lion’s heart is also tormented in the same way.
The experience of the big lions going out and not coming back, the young male lions have experienced this together for too many, too many times.
All their blood relatives being no more, only the five of them are left on this grassland.
But this time is obviously different.
A figure, not big enough to be called tall or mighty, but enough to give the Norman brothers a sense of security, walked out from the rain curtain, carrying prey enough for all of them to feast on.
Returned safely.
Drenched like a wet chicken, exhausted and panting, Qiao Qixi dragged the prey back at the cost of half his life. But despite the exhaustion, he did not let himself get injured; that prospect is simply non-existent.
In the full five hours of outing, both sides were worried about each other, but fortunately, the final result was still perfect.
The little ones poked their heads out, competing to come over and rub against each other. The quite den suddenly became lively, with Qiao Qixi’s heavy panting along with the tender calls of the little lions echoing one after another.
Well, the sense of accomplishment from raising children is roughly just like this.
When seeing the furry lumps eating so devotedly, the struggles and hunting outside, are not a matter at all.
Qiao Qixi is very happy.
After finishing this meal, if it doesn’t stop raining, he won’t go out hunting again.
The rainwater obstructed the spread of odors, and after having a full meal, the little lions fell asleep peacefully.
When Qiao Qixi calmed down, he was initially a bit cold. But the body temperature of the little lions warmed him with some on his chest, some on his back, and some near his abdomen.
His hair also dried quickly from their heat.
As expected, it rained for the next two days, and Qiao Qixi did not go hunting again.
Since encountering the male lion, the young male lions tasted the familiar flavor of hunger for the first time.
But this doesn’t really count as anything.
Just a very little hungry.
Overall speaking, still very happy.
As a beginner parent of indulgent children, Qiao Qixi always worries that he isn’t doing well enough. Of course he would never let the little lions go hungry for too long; he couldn’t bear it.
Previously, he had already decided that if the rain didn’t stop after two days, he wouldn’t go out again. Fortunately, now the wind stopped and the rain ceased.
The weather cleared up once again, giving them the opportunity to stretch and move their muscles and bones.
Qiao Qixi’s stomach was also quite hungry, so he seized this moment to bring the young lions away from the nest to forage for food.
This is what life is like on the grassland. Except for eating, it’s sleeping; it seems to sound like it’s very enjoyable.
To tell it for what it is, if one has sharp fangs and claws, then indeed it would be quite enjoyable.
Take the example of the solitary leopards on the grassland, the jungle killers with their notoriety spread far and wide.
They have agile skills, can climb trees, and are picky eaters. Life for them is just extremely enjoyable.
When leading the little offspring across the lea, Qiao Qixi saw a leopard resting on a distant tree.
The other side was well hidden underneath the tree crown, with only a thick spotted tail hanging down; if it weren’t for Qiao Qixi smelling the scent and deliberately searching, you simply wouldn’t see the figure of this leopard.
The other side should be resting after having eaten its fill.
When Qiao Qixi and them passed by from below, that leopard just opened its eyes behind the tree crown, looking at them from afar as they passed by.
Leopards and lions have no historical animosity, they mutually do not interfere with each other.
Even if lions snatch food, they will not snatch it from the leopards, they will at most snatch from cheetahs.
The leopard, acclaimed as the ‘money leopard’ by the Chinese people, has a very good-looking appearance. Qiao Qixi, relying on his good eyesight, took a few more glances.
However, it was only just two glances.
Leopards are famously known for their unpredictable moods and difficult-to-predict temperament; they might be a friendly little angel one moment, but could turn into an irritable madman the next second.
It is still advisable to be cautious.
However, the leopard has a good point; he never minds other carnivores hunting on his territory, much more generous compared to lions.
Another good aspect is that leopards dislike hyenas, so they rarely appear on their territory.
Even if he is a lion, it still has to be acknowledged. The leopard hunting and killing hyenas is extremely handsome. Moreover, its ruthless actions such as ambushes and the fondness for biting off necks are cruel, bloody, and handsome.
