You Plan To Kill Me With Meng? - Chapter 52.3 - Prairie Lions Alliance (07)

Even if swinging claws fiercely during a fight, once it turns around, it puts them away to quietly settle down, just becoming a lion.

It may be because he is good-looking and has a certain intrinsic impression that makes people subconsciously pamper him a bit more.

The photographers seem to fully understand the male lion’s preferences.

After the sun completely broke free from the clouds, it quickly dried up the light rain from before, and the earth finally became dry and refreshing.

The few lions that resumed their journey were all a bit out of breath from the sunlight.

Feeling thirsty but unable to find a water source nearby, the young lions licked their dry tongues.

Qiao Qixi: Did you all get blinded by the sun from sleeping at night and being active during the day?

As the dry season arrives, it becomes less easy to find a water source, so they need to go to a place with a water source to live.

As the dry season arrives, it becomes less easy to find a water source, so they need to go to a place with a water source to live.

It will be more dangerous there, as the surrounding animals will be more densely packed, including fierce carnivores and aggressive omnivores, or what could be called ‘water source bullies’.

For example, the hippos and rhinos that often reside by the water source act like they own it, practically marking it as their territory; the other animals seem to have to consider their moods even when they want to drink water.

Dragging their curved, upward-turned tails, as evening approached, the young lions refused to walk any further. They lazily lay on the ground, rolled over to expose their bellies, and started to play together with their brothers.

The male lion had no way to handle them and had no choice but to stop and rest.

Their last meal was over ten hours ago. In fact, they could skip hunting today, but the cubs might get hungry at midnight.

After hesitating for a moment between being lazy and not being lazy, Alexander, who was working harder than a typical male lion, charged forward without hesitation.

Right now, it’s not just the young lions that need to eat more.

There is a group of impalas nearby wandering around. They seem to want to decide on a resting place before it gets dark, but they haven’t noticed that there’s a lion nearby with bad intentions.

T/N: The impala or rooibok (Aepyceros melampus) is a medium-sized antelope found in eastern and southern Africa.

Qiao Qixi took advantage of the transition between day and night to capture a impala from the other’s camp, which was definitely a surprise for the little lions.

In fact, they were indeed all so happy that they howled with joy. However, this place of strife is different from the previous tranquility; the smell of blood spreading out will always attract attention.

A pack of hyenas was approaching, about four kilometers away; that’s quite close. So Qiao Qixi urged the little lions to eat quickly, eat as much as they could, as they couldn’t afford to encounter the hyenas.

Almost without needing Qiao Qixi to remind them, the usually lazy young lions, upon smelling the scent of hyenas, bared their fangs and fiercely tore at the antelope meat; describing their eating as ‘gobbling it down’ would not be an exaggeration.

Large chunks of meat were swallowed down the throat without even having time to chew.

Qiao Qixi was also helping the cubs tear the meat apart; can be considered making every second count.

Holding the last piece of meat in mouth, Qiao Qixi issued a signal to retreat. Although the little lions were reluctant, they still obediently followed to retreat.

The orderly scene left the photographers dumbfounded, because after the lions left, a group of hyenas indeed arrived as scheduled.

But by this time, the figures of the lions had already disappeared into the grass, quickly walking away.

The little lions, having hurriedly eaten to a half-full state, were still walking with blood on their faces, licking their lips in lingering desire.

After leaving the danger zone, everyone’s nerves relaxed, and the little lions immediately snatched the last piece of meat from the male lion’s mouth.

“Aow….”

“Aow….”

These furry balls rubbing around seemed to say: Give me, give me, I want it.

As the saying goes, ‘It’s not about having too little, but about the unequal distribution.’ How can one piece of meat be divided fairly?

To maintain harmony among the brothers, Qiao Qixi swallowed the piece of meat with a gulp.

Lao Da, Lao Er, Lao San, Lao Si, Lao Wu: “……”

Without the temptation of this piece of meat, they all walked ahead, turning their butts towards Qiao Qixi.

Qiao Qixi: How come these little rascals have two faces?

As the color of the sky darkened into late night, the little lion group successfully found a satisfactory place to spend the night.

With the meal they just had to fill their stomachs, the little lions could sleep soundly until noon tomorrow without feeling hungry.

This period of time is Qiao Qixi’s happiest time, because the cubs are asleep, and he is also at peace and leisurely.

But sometimes there are one or two little spoiled ones who refuse to sleep and need him to coax them, most likely the dough ball, occasionally Chengfeng and Da Yuanzi, while the fourth one falls asleep soundly without needing to be coaxed.

As for the third one, it’s always a mystery whether he is actually asleep or not.

One mysterious lion.

Since that day, it hasn’t rained on the grassland again; the weather has become dry and drier everyday.

Three days later, Qiao Qixi brought the little lions to a water source nearby. He sniffed the air and thought, ‘Wow, the smell is very mixed; indeed, heroes from various groups have gathered here.’

Now the water source is still abundant, and they can choose some unoccupied spots to settle down.

When the water source diminishes, that will be when the real challenge arrives.

But for now, it’s still relaxed.
