nEvening.

nThe sun was setting.

n

n

nThe heat on the grassland receded a little.

nHowever, the dry air and hot wind were still unbearable for the pride.

nThey lay motionless in the shade of the bushes.

nThe adult gnu in the morning had filled the stomachs of the cold father lions. They could continue until tomorrow to hunt.

n

n

nHowever, the water in his body evaporated too quickly.

nThey still had to go to the river to replenish their water in order to survive this long and hot night.

nWhen the sun was about to set.

nThe cold father stood up from the grass and set off with the lionesses and cubs, walking towards the river at the foot of the hill.

n

n

nThe new female cub, Catherine, hesitated for a moment before getting up from the bushes and following him.

nShe was thirsty too.

nLars turned his head and roared at her with a fierce expression, as if he was deliberately scaring her.

nCatherine looked at him and stopped in place. After he walked far away, she continued forward and followed the pride.

nMei Mei hesitated for a moment before turning around and running over to walk beside her. She let out a roar as if she was comforting her.

nCatherine lowered her head, feeling dejected and timid.

n

n

nAt this moment, many animals came to drink water. They were all lined up by the river, stretching their necks and drinking water carefully.

nThe crocodile in the water had its back exposed and it was easy to discover.

nHowever, there were always one or two unlucky fellows who thought that it was just a lump of wood that was dragged into the water and underwent a death roll.

nWhen the lion, the cold father, brought the pride to the river, the animals drinking water nearby, be it carnivores or herbivores, all ran away in panic, staying far away.

nThe might of the predator at the top of the African food chain was vividly displayed at this moment.

nThe cold father walked to the river and looked at the river. He lay down and lowered his head to drink water.

nA crocodile floated in the water and swam towards him slowly.

nThe lion raised its head, bared its fangs, and let out a low growl.

n

n

nThe crocodile popped its head out and looked at him before retreating slowly.

nIt seemed to know that lions were not to be trifled with.

nThe female lions immediately took this opportunity to drink water by the river.

nLittle Curly Tail lay down beside his brother, feeling safer.

nNo matter how terrifying a crocodile was, his brother could still defeat it!

nWith his brother around, he was not afraid.

nLars was already scared out of his wits by the crocodiles because of what happened last time. Every time he came to drink water, he was always on tenterhooks and leaned close to his cold father.

nAlthough Chu Xiaoye had saved him previously, his father was the strongest and most secure in his heart.

nAt this moment, he leaned against his cold father and carefully lay on the ground, stretching out his head.

nJust as he was about to extend his tongue to drink water, Little Curly Tail suddenly let out a roar and jumped up from the ground!

nLars was so scared that he jumped up with a whoosh. He almost lost his balance and fell into the river in front of him!

nLittle Curly Tail looked at him mockingly and continued to lie down and drink water, as if nothing had happened.

nLars was terrified and his limbs felt like jelly. He trembled and did not dare to drink water again.

n

n

nHis mother, the lioness with a broken tail, hurriedly rubbed his head and comforted him gently.

nThe cold father almost finished drinking and prepared to leave.

nHe had to hurry.

nMei Mei brought Catherine to Chu Xiaoye’s side and drank the water calmly.

nAs long as her brother was by her side, she was not afraid of anything.

nCatherine seemed a little uneasy. After hesitating for a long time, she walked to the river and lay down.

nAt this moment, the cold father had already finished drinking his water and turned to return.

nThe female lions followed behind him.

nLars quickly got up and followed.

nLittle Curly Tail and Mei Mei were also full. However, seeing that their brother was still drinking, they could only stand beside him and wait patiently.

nThe lion, the cold father, turned around and glanced at the three of them, his eyes revealing a cold glint.

nThey were still underage but they were already ignoring him?

nChu Xiaoye was already full.

nHowever, the foreign lioness cub looked like she had just laid down to drink.

nIf he did not wait for her, she would not dare to continue drinking after just a few mouthfuls, right?

nSuddenly, the water beside them swayed slightly under the golden setting sun!

nBlack mud surged up from the bottom of the river!

nA black shadow was hiding under the water and slowly crawling towards Catherine.

nIt was a crocodile!

nThe crocodile that had deliberately fallen into the water and hid all its body!

nChu Xiaoye was shocked. He immediately got up and rushed over. He extended his front claw and wrapped it around the lioness’s neck, lifting her backwards!

nCatherine flew up and tilted her head back. She spun in the air and fell to the ground miserably with a bang!

n“Whoosh!”

nAt the same time!

nWater suddenly splashed everywhere where she had just drunk the water. A bloody mouth full of sharp fangs ferociously jumped out from the water. The two rows of fangs suddenly closed and bit empty air!

nLars, who had walked not far away, immediately shivered in fear and almost crawled on the ground.

n“Roar—”

nLittle Curly Tail walked to the river and roared at the crocodile fiercely, looking like he was not afraid of it!

nIt seemed to be saying: If you have the ability, come up here and see if my brother doesn’t blow your head off!

nThe crocodile ignored him and quickly retreated.

nCatherine crawled on the ground and looked at the crocodile that sank into the river and slowly retreated. Her limbs felt like jelly.

nThen, she turned around and looked at Chu Xiaoye.

nWhy did the strength that this cub had just erupted with seem to be even more terrifying than her father’s?

n“Roar!”

nAisha was urging him.

nObviously, she sensed the cold father’s anger.

nChu Xiaoye did not dare to stay any longer and immediately followed her with Little Curly Tail.

nAt this moment, he saw a rhinoceros.

nThe rhinoceros stood alone on the hill, looking at the river below as if in a daze.

nThe thick and sharp rhino horn at the front of it disappeared.

nThe pride walked up the hill and came close.

nIt still stood there without any reaction.

nWhen he was close, Chu Xiaoye realized that the cut on the broken horn of the rhinoceros was very neat. It did not seem to be caused by a battle but by something sharp.

n“Roar—”

nRight at this moment, the roar of a lion suddenly came from the territory of the neighboring pride, the Seno Brothers.

nIt was the voice of the lion, Bill.

nHe was not dead yet.

nThen, “Ow Ow! Ow Ow!” A group of hyenas’ excited and noisy cries rang out one after another.

nChu Xiaoye’s gaze turned cold as he looked at the forest.

nWas the hyena that killed Gigi here again?

nHe had planned to go to their camp again tonight and meet them properly. He did not expect them to take the initiative to come.

nIn that case, it was just nice.

nClearly, they had smelled blood, or they had heard their companions calling to tell them about Bill, who was about to die.

nThe flesh of their enemies would definitely be even more delicious to them.

nAs for the brothers, who had just ascended to the throne, they would definitely be happy to see them and help them clean the place for free.

n“Ow Ow Ow!”

nSamantha the hyena queen’s unique cries rang out in the bushes at dusk.

nThe hyena army charged over!
