Chapter 42

n

n“Bam!”

nBut.

n

n

nNot only did his brother not praise him, he even slapped his head again!

nLittle Curly Tail tilted his head and looked at his brother in confusion.

nCould it be that he accidentally provoked his brother?

nChu Xiaoye’s face was cold. He raised his claws and pretended to want to continue slapping him.

n

n

nLittle Curly Tail immediately jumped up and ran towards his mother with a wronged expression.

nHe seemed to be saying, “Mom, Mom, Brother is so rude, violent, and difficult to please!

nChu Xiaoye ignored him and slowed down, waiting for Xi’er and Mei Mei.

nThis kid was stupid.

n

n

nWalk slowly, pretend to be tired, and wait for Mei Mei and her mother to catch up. Then, you could walk slowly together.

nBy lying on the ground and not leaving, you are blatantly challenging Father’s authority!

nFurthermore.

nSince you want to do a good thing, you have to do it all.

nYou have to take care of Aunt Xi’er’s feelings and dignity. If you lie down and wait for her, she will feel terrible.

nOf course.

n

n

nThis was just Chu Xiaoye’s wishful thinking.

nLittle Curly Tail would definitely not understand this.

nXi’er might not understand either.

nHowever, after spending some time together, he knew very well that many animals were much smarter than humans thought.

nTheir emotions, status and identity, their family system, their management of their territory, and even their attitude towards enemies were extremely similar to that of the first humans.

n“Roar—”

nSeeing that he had fallen behind, the lion immediately growled, its eyes filled with coldness and anger, as if it was urging him.

nChu Xiaoye glanced at him and immediately pretended to be panting and exhausted as he continued to walk slowly.

n

n

nIf he lay down like Little Curly Tail did just now, the lion would have already rushed over and slapped him.

nIn this animal world, where only the fittest survived, sympathizing with the weak would only implicate the entire tribe and make them weaker and weaker.

nThe lion looked at him coldly and quickened his steps.

nHe needed to drink water.

nCallie, who was pregnant, was also in a hurry to replenish her water.

nThe three female lions and Lars followed closely behind him and walked towards the river at the foot of the hill.

nAisha brought Little Curly Tail and stopped in place, waiting for Chu Xiaoye, who fell behind.

nThe lion glanced at them and ignored them, leaving coldly.

nSeeing that he had gone far, Little Curly Tail turned around and ran to Chu Xiaoye’s side. He circled around him and roared.

nHe did not believe that his brother could not walk anymore.

nHis brother’s strength and energy were the most powerful among his siblings. He was many times stronger than him.

nHis scream seemed to be saying, “Is brother for real, is brother for real!”

nChu Xiaoye was dizzy from his spinning. He glared and curled his tail. Before he could turn around and aim his butt at him, Little Curly Tail immediately fled with a whoosh and ran behind his mother to hide.

n

n

nAisha stood in place and looked at him, then at the lion and the three female lions that were gradually disappearing into the distance. Her eyes were filled with anxiety.

nWithout the lion leading the way, how were they to drink water later?

nThe river was filled with danger.

nChu Xiaoye knew how worried she was. However, if they did not wait for Xi’er, the mother and daughter would be killed by some carnivores before they could reach the river.

nHe could not be so selfish and cold for the time being.

nMei Mei walked to his side and rubbed her head against his body, as if she understood why he was walking so slowly.

nXi’er walked with difficulty, looking at him gently with her remaining eye.

nTwo female lions and three young cubs walked slowly on the grassland. Without the lead of the adult male lion, they walked towards the dangerous river.

nAlong the way, Xi’er rested three times.

nDuring this time, they also encountered a group of wild dogs looking for food. There were about twenty of them.

nSeeing that Xi’er could not move freely and that there was only one healthy adult lioness beside her, the wild dogs prepared to take the opportunity to bully her and show their might.

nIn the end, before they could surround him, Little Curly Tail shot out like an arrow that had left its bow. He rushed into the pack of wild dogs and bit the head of a wild dog!

nThe other wild dogs immediately panicked and fled!

nAlthough wild dogs were like hyenas and fought in groups, their size and bite strength were far inferior to that of hyenas.

nAs for courage, it could not be compared.

nHence, in front of Little Curly Tail, they were just younger brothers.

nHowever, it was obvious that Little Curly Tail did not have any experience in hunting enemies.

nWhen the wild dogs were frightened by his ferocity and fled in all directions, he immediately loosened his mouth and put down the wild dog in his mouth.

nThe wild dog’s mouth was filled with blood as it lay on the ground motionless.

nJust as Little Curly Tail was turning around to show off to Aisha and Chu Xiaoye, the wild dog lying on the ground suddenly jumped up and turned to escape!

nLittle Curly Tail was dumbfounded.

nHis embarrassment turned into anger. Just as he was about to continue chasing, Aisha hurriedly called him back.

nHowever, he seemed to feel that it was too embarrassing. He ignored his mother and still chased after the escaping wild dog angrily!

nIn the end, he had just taken a few steps when a strong wind suddenly blew from behind him!

nA figure shot over and slapped him on the head, causing him to fall to the ground!

nLittle Curly Tail ate a mouthful of dust in a sorry state. Just as he was about to jump up and roar, he suddenly saw a familiar face!

n“Wu…”

nHis angry roar immediately turned into a whimper and he looked very wronged.

nChu Xiaoye looked at him coldly. He turned around and walked towards his mother.

nLittle Curly Tail was stunned for a moment before he immediately understood. He hurriedly got up, lowered his head, and followed him back to his mother’s side obediently.

nHe did not listen to his mother, so his brother wanted to beat him up.

nBut.

nHe did not know that other than this, Chu Xiaoye was also angry at his stupidity and rashness.

nHe was not wrong to enter the wild dog pack alone to kill them. He could catch them off guard and immediately deter the other hyenas.

nHowever, he should not have given chase afterwards.

nEven a rabbit would bite when it was anxious.

nIf he chased too far and was ambushed and surrounded by their tribe, he would be beaten and bitten to death even if he had three heads and six arms!

nThis kid still had to be taught a good lesson.

nThis was to prevent him from becoming overconfident and dying because of that!

nHe was thinking about teaching Little Curly Tail.

nHis mother, Xi’er, and Mei Mei looked at him in a daze, wondering why he caught up to Little Curly Tail who was running in the distance with a whoosh!

nFurthermore, he slapped the strong Little Curly Tail to the ground!

nWas this speed wind or lightning?

nThis strength, was it a water buffalo or an elephant?

nOn a hill not far away, a herd of strong water buffaloes appeared. They had probably just gone to drink water and were preparing to leave.

nAisha immediately brought them around the herd.

nWater buffaloes were very strong and not to be trifled with.

nThey would take the initiative to attack the pride and kill the cubs with their sharp horns and heavy iron hooves.

nHowever, at the thought of going to the foot of the hill to drink water later, she was worried without the lion leading the way.

nThey hoped that the lion, their king, would still wait for them by the river.

n
