n“Roar—”
n
n
nThe lion roared and bared its fangs. Its face was ferocious and revealed a terrifying expression.
n
n
n
n
nIt looked murderous and extremely intimidating!
n
n
nHowever, he squatted in place and did not attack.
n
n
nThe hunger for the past few days and the previous hard journey had already made him feel a little weak and travel-worn.
n
n
nFurthermore, he knew how cunning these enemies were.
n
n
n
n
nWhen hyenas snatched a lion’s food, they always relied on the strength of their pack to create chaos and run around. They did not attack, only harassing and provoking. The wanted to slowly drain the lion’s strength by taking turns to fight him.
n
n
nOnce the lion was exhausted, they would rush up and snatch the food.
n
n
nSometimes, a lone lion might even be bitten to death and eaten!
n
n
nLions and hyenas had been enemies for generations.
n
n
n
n
nRegardless of whether it was the lone survivor of the other party’s race or the young and weak, both sides had always killed without mercy!
n
n
nNow, the hyenas had seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity not just for food.
n
n
nThe pride was hungry and tired, and there were cubs that needed protection. This was a godsend opportunity!
n
n
nThe lion knew clearly how cunning and vicious these enemies were. Hence, he did not foolishly charge forward and waste his energy.
n
n
nThe female lions protected the young cubs in the middle and also only bared their fangs to threaten them. They did not attack.
n
n
nThey were stalling for time to recover their strength.
n
n
n
n
nWith the cubs needing protection, they did not dare to split up and attack.
n
n
nAs for the hyenas.
n
n
nAlthough their numbers were huge and their combat strength was not weak, they did not dare to go forward at that moment. They only circled around, making all sorts of clamoring and provocations, letting out “hehehe” sounds as if they were trying to lure the lion and lionesses to chase them.
n
n
nThe two sides faced each other, threatening and provoking each other with their cries.
n
n
nLars hid behind the broken-tailed lioness, shivering.
n
n
nAlthough his body was already bigger than a hyena’s, he was still a child and had no combat experience.
n
n
nFurthermore, there were too many hyenas.
n
n
nMei Mei and Gigi, the two little lionesses, were also trembling in fear.
n
n
n
n
nHowever, Little Curly Tail bared his teeth. His amber eyes were filled with anger. He looked like he was ready to pounce and bite.
n
n
nChu Xiaoye was naturally uneasy as well.
n
n
nThe hyenas’ bite strength was astonishing, and their life force was extremely tenacious. Even if a lion were to bite their throats, they would still take a long time to suffocate and die.
n
n
nThey had a large pack. Even if they were injured, they could eat rotten meat with the pack or snatch the prey of other carnivores.
n
n
nBut the pride was different.
n
n
nWhether it was the lion or the lionesses who were injured, it would be extremely dangerous for the entire pride and could even be a disaster.
n
n
nWith so many hyenas, if they attacked in groups, the lion and the lionesses would not be able to take care of them all.
n
n
nAt that time, these five young cubs would probably lose their lives!
n
n
n“Ow Ow! Ow Ow!”
n
n
nThe leading hyena queen suddenly ran around and shouted, as if she was ordering something.
n
n
nThe hyenas that were pacing around without moving forward immediately cried out as they approached the pride.
n
n
nThe male hyenas courageously approached the hunted zebra, seemingly wanting to snatch the lions’ prey.
n
n
nAt this moment, the lion could no longer tolerate it!
n
n
n
n
nHe suddenly roared and pounced at the hyenas angrily!
n
n
n“Ow Ow! Ow Ow!”
n
n
nThe hyenas reacted extremely quickly, as if they had already expected his pounce. They immediately turned around and ran away, deliberately running very slowly to lure him into chasing them.
n
n
nThe lion’s mane fluttered as his killing intent surged. He angrily chased after the hyenas.
n
n
nAt this moment.
n
n
nThe other hyenas around them rushed forward and pounced on the lionesses and young cubs!
n
n
nThe five female lions were furious and hurriedly pounced forward to bite!
n
n
nHowever, there were too many hyenas!
n
n
nThey had too many things to handle at the same time and could not stop these cunning enemies outside the cubs.
n
n
nSoon, a group of hyenas broke through their defence and charged towards the five young cubs!
n
n
nAlthough Lars was extremely terrified, he had no choice but to bare his fangs and pounce on these vile enemies!
n
n
nThe hyenas did not fight him head-on. Instead, they circled around him and charged towards Chu Xiaoye, Mei Mei, and the other two young cubs.
n
n
nAfter all, they looked smaller and easier to deal with.
n
n
nThe five female lions roared and ran back!
n
n
nThe lion also turned around and roared angrily!
n
n
nThe three hyenas had already arrived in front of Chu Xiaoye, Mei Mei and the other two young cubs, showing their sharp fangs and preparing to bite!
n
n
nMei Mei and Gigi shivered all over and hid behind Chu Xiaoye and Little Curly Tail.
n
n
nLittle Curly Tail howled angrily and pounced at a male hyena that was coming at him!
n
n
nThe hyenas were matriarchal, and male hyenas were generally smaller than female hyenas.
n
n
nAnd this hyena was about the size of Little Curly Tail.
n
n
nIt originally thought that this young cub would tremble in fear and wait for death or retaliate slightly. Unexpectedly, this young cub actually bared its sharp fangs and took the initiative to pounce at an extremely fast speed!
n
n
nThe male hyena was frightened. It hurriedly stopped in its tracks and ran to the side!
n
n
nOn the other side!
n
n
nWhen the two male hyenas ran in front of Chu Xiaoye, they opened their mouths and prepared to pounce on him and bite his neck. However, Chu Xiaoye suddenly jumped up and used his two claws to attack. “Smack! Smack!” Two crisp sounds were heard. They were as fast as lightning and as heavy as lead. He directly slapped the two male hyenas, who were of his size, to the ground!
n
n
nThe two male hyenas crawled on the ground, their heads buzzing. After struggling for a few times, they could not get up!
n
n
nChu Xiaoye took this opportunity to jump up and bite the neck of a male hyena!
n
n
nTwo rows of teeth were fiercely embedded in its throat!
n
n
nAs for the other male hyena, it seemed to be frightened. It jumped up with a whoosh and turned to flee in panic!
n
n
nAt this moment.
n
n
nThe five female lions and the male lion had already roared and rushed back!
n
n
nThe other hyenas that were about to charge over cried out when they saw this and fled in all directions!
n
n
nLittle Curly Tail chased after the escaping hyena. His courage increased as he wagged his tail excitedly!
n
n
nAisha rushed over and stopped him.
n
n
nIf he chased into the hyena pack, no one could save him!
n
n
nChu Xiaoye bit hard on the hyena’s throat and refused to let go no matter how hard it struggled!
n
n
nThe male lion and female lion gathered together, surrounding the young cubs in the middle.
n
n
nAs for the zebra that the female lions had hunted painstakingly, it was dragged away by a group of female hyenas in the chaos. Soon, it was bitten to pieces and flesh splattered everywhere!
n
n
nThe other hyenas rushed forward to take a share of the prey!
n
n
nThe lion roared angrily, but could only stand in place and watch helplessly as his prey was shared by the enemy. His abdomen heaved violently and he panted heavily.
n
n
nHe no longer had the strength to fight over it.
n
n
nThe female lions also looked angrily and resentfully at this group of shameless and despicable enemies.
n
n
nSoon.
n
n
nThe entire zebra was divided up by the thirty plus hyenas!
n
n
n“Ow Ow! Ow Ow!”
n
n
n“Hehehehehe!”
n
n
nAfter eating the prey that they had snatched, the hyenas let out ugly cries of triumph.
n
n
nThen, they left one after another.
n
n
nAfter testing, the combat strength of this pride of lions was still very strong.
n
n
nSince they had already snatched the prey and won, there was no need for them to take the risk of being killed and continue fighting.
n
n
nAs for the companion that fell, no one cared.
n
n
nNot to mention a companion, they would not even care if it was their own siblings. They would even kill each other.
n
n
nFrom the moment they were born, they learned how to be cruel and kill.
n
n
nNo matter who they were facing.
n
n
nThe hyenas left triumphant.
n
n
nThe lions, on the other hand, were bathing in the golden sunset, still immersed in lingering anger and frustration.
n
n
nThe prey was gone and the children were almost killed.
n
n
nNo one would forget this hatred!
n
n
nThe hyena left behind finally stopped breathing.
n
n
nChu Xiaoye loosened his mouth and spat a few mouthfuls of blood at its face. He even raised his hind legs and peed on its face.
n
n
nLittle Curly Tail also raised his legs to pee excitedly.
n
n
nThe male lion, the female lions, and the other cubs looked at the brothers and the dead hyena on the ground.
n
n
nAisha’s eyes were filled with relief and pride.
n
n
nTheir father, the lion, looked at them coldly and warily.
n
n
nThey were a pair of lions.
n
n
nAlthough they were young, they would grow up in the end.
