nAfter dawn.

n

n

nThe female lions set off to hunt.

n

n

n

n

nXi’er stayed behind to take care of the cubs.

n

n

nNo one knew where the lion went. After leaving last night, he never returned.

n

n

nWhen Chu Xiaoye woke up, he woke up Mei Mei and Little Curly Tail. Then, he brought them down the tree to run.

n

n

nAfter running, he returned to the tree to train his muscles and balance.

n

n

n

n

nThe female lions only returned at noon.

n

n

nThis time, they finally brought back prey. Two prey actually, one big and one small gazelle.

n

n

nLars was extremely happy and ran over with his tail wagging.

n

n

nGigi followed behind and fell excitedly.

n

n

n

n

nChu Xiaoye brought Little Curly Tail and Mei Mei down the tree.

n

n

nAt their age, they should be weaned off milk. The amount of milk a lioness could produce had obviously decreased.

n

n

nWith fresh meat, who would be willing to drink milk?

n

n

nThe female lions and young cubs lay beside their prey and started to tear their fur and flesh to eat.

n

n

nNo one knew where the lion went. Until now, he had yet to return.

n

n

nSince he was not around, the female lions would be much more at ease when they ate. They would not have to worry about being attacked and bitten by him.

n

n

n

n

nAs for the two prey, of course they would not leave him any.

n

n

nIt was not that they were selfish and cold, but reality was like this.

n

n

nThere was a lack of food and danger everywhere.

n

n

nEvery animal here was living arduously and carefully, with the possibility of being eliminated at any time.

n

n

nFurthermore, these two gazelles were not enough to fill the stomachs of five female lions and five young cubs.

n

n

nHence, they had to be cold.

n

n

nThe two prey were quickly eaten clean.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye went to his mother to drink a few mouthfuls of milk before climbing onto the tree and lying on a branch to rest.

n

n

n

n

nAfter Lars had his fill, he was full of energy and wanted to play with Little Curly Tail.

n

n

nWhile he was not paying attention, Little Curly Tail slapped his head and immediately turned to run. With a whoosh, he climbed up the tree.

n

n

nLars was furious. He chased to the base of the tree, but could not climb up. He could only roar a few times in a threatening manner before going to hit Mei Mei.

n

n

nMei Mei ignored him. After nimbly dodging his claws, she quickly climbed up the tree.

n

n

nLars had no choice but to go and play with Gigi.

n

n

nAfter fighting him for a while, Gigi was pressed to the ground and cried out in pain.

n

n

nLars was very pleased.

n

n

nHe felt that he was about to grow up.

n

n

nIf he could eat such fresh meat every day, he would definitely grow up very quickly!

n

n

nThe female lions spread out and lay in the grass around them to rest.

n

n

nUntil evening, the lion who went to patrol the borders of the territory returned.

n

n

nHe seemed to smell the scent of blood in the air. He looked at the female lions with an icy cold and majestic gaze, then followed the smell of blood to the grass where the female lions and young cubs ate. He let out an angry growl.

n

n

nAt this moment, Lars was chasing after Gigi excitedly and happened to pass in front of him.

n

n

n

n

nThe lion roared angrily, raised its claws, and slapped him on the head!

n

n

nLars swayed and rolled away, crying out in pain.

n

n

nThe lioness with a broken tail hurriedly stood up and ran over to protect Lars. However, she did not dare to roar at the lion. Instead, she lowered her head, as if she was begging and apologizing.

n

n

nThe lion bared its fangs and growled hoarsely, its gaze filled with ferocity and anger.

n

n

nLars hurriedly hid behind his mother and shivered.

n

n

nThe other lionesses lay on the ground, not daring to get up.

n

n

nFortunately, the lion only growled for a while and did not continue pursuing the matter.

n

n

nHe returned to his slope and lay down.

n

n

nWithout food, he did not want to waste his energy.

n

n

nHe had to preserve his strength at all times to deal with sudden intruders.

n

n

nIn the evening.

n

n

nHe got up from the slope and chased the female lions out to continue hunting.

n

n

nHowever.

n

n

nWhen the sky turned dark, the female lions returned empty-handed.

n

n

nFurthermore, for the next three days, the female lions did not catch any more prey.

n

n

nThe lion and young cubs were famished.

n

n

nThe female lions were also hungry and very tired, but they had to go out to hunt frequently.

n

n

nThat night.

n

n

nThe lion looked after the cubs, and the five female lions all went hunting.

n

n

nAfter the lion fell asleep, the hungry Chu Xiaoye climbed down the tree and quietly entered the bushes at the back of the tree.

n

n

nHe was too hungry.

n

n

nAlthough he was terrified by the leopard last time, he had no choice but to set off again to get something to eat personally.

n

n

nEven a small mouse could fill his empty stomach.

n

n

nOver the past few days, he felt that his strength had increased a lot again. However, the rate of growth started to slow down.

n

n

nObviously, it was because of hunger.

n

n

nTonight, no matter what, he had to get some fresh meat to replenish his energy.

n

n

nHe encountered the terrifying female leopard and the stupid cub the last time in the forest on the right.

n

n

nThis time, he decided to move towards the left.

n

n

nIn the quiet forest, the sounds of insects could be heard clearly.

n

n

nHe walked for more than ten minutes, but he did not see a single prey.

n

n

nThis place was about a mile away from the lion camp.

n

n

nHe could not go further.

n

n

nOtherwise, if he encountered danger, he would be unable to escape unscathed.

n

n

nHe took a few more steps forward and looked through the dense bushes into the forest. It was empty.

n

n

nHe was disappointed and dejected. Just as he was about to turn around and return, there was a sudden movement in the grass in front of him. Then, a small deer jumped out with a limp!

n

n

nChu Xiaoye was overjoyed. Just as he was about to rush up while drooling, a figure suddenly jumped out of the grass and lay on the deer’s back!

n

n

nWhen he looked, it was actually that little leopard again!

n

n

nChu Xiaoye was shocked, angry, anxious, and afraid. He looked carefully at the grass and indeed, he saw the terrifying female leopard again!

n

n

nHe cursed his bad luck and hurriedly lay on the ground, trembling and not daring to move.

n

n

nHowever, a scene that he did not expect happened again!

n

n

nThe limping deer struggled to break free of the little leopard’s body and limped towards him!

n

n

nAs for the little leopard, it chased up excitedly!

n

n

nThe deer crawled into the bushes and stopped in front of him.

n

n

nThe little leopard also crawled in and stared at him with its amber eyes.

n

n

nShe was most afraid of sudden silence.

n

n

n“Pfft—”

n

n

nJust like that night, there was a sudden explosion!

n

n

nThen, black smoke spewed out!

n

n

nThe little leopard fled!

n

n

n“Roar! Ugh—”

n

n

nChu Xiaoye picked up the deer and ran away!

n

n

nHunger made him brave!

n

n

nHunger made him fast!

n

n

nHunger made him shameless!

n

n

nJust like that night, the female leopard was frightened and hurriedly protected the little leopard as they retreated. She looked at the bushes that were emitting black smoke with a panicked and nervous gaze.

n

n

nAfter the black smoke cleared, before she could see if any lions were hiding inside, the little leopard ran over angrily. Its fur stood on end as it roared towards the bush.

n

n

nThis time, she did not seem to be saying “Damn it! Damn it”. Instead, she was saying, “So despicable! So despicable!”
