Chapter 61 - Instinct and Humanity

n

nThe sky finally turned dark.

nCatherine lay in the bushes and waited for the stars and the moon. Finally, the sky turned dark.

n

n

nShe had fallen asleep accidentally last night and did not see his heroic figure when hunting.

nTonight, she would open her eyes wide and stare at him meticulously, never taking her gaze away from him!

nThe three female lions went out to hunt.

nThe pregnant Callie and Maya were sleeping.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye climbed onto another Baobab tree and used his sharp claws to dig for soft and humid wood slag on the thick branches.

nHe could clearly see the water inside.

nWith a gentle squeeze, clear water flowed out of the wooden slag that was dug out.

nIt seemed that there was no need to try again.

n

n

nThe two Baobab trees did store a lot of water, enough for the pride to survive the most difficult dry season.

nHe filled the hole with the wooden dregs he had dug out again to prevent the water from evaporating.

nThe animals and plants that could survive until now in this grassland had naturally gone through all sorts of cruel tests of nature. They slowly evolved and changed until they were truly accustomed to the bad situation here.

nThis Baobab tree should have started to store water in advance during the rainy season.

nThe problem of water sources had been resolved.

nChu Xiaoye prepared to go down and bring Little Curly Tail and Mei Mei to the bushes at the back to take a look.

n

n

nAt this moment, he suddenly saw a familiar figure appear on the hill not far away from him!

nUnder the cover of the night, his strong and huge body, lush mane, and dark and cold eyes quietly came with a murderous aura!

nIt was the wandering lion that had escaped in the evening!

n“Roar—”

nHe immediately roared from the tree and issued an alarm!

nCallie and Maya, who were lying in the bushes, hurriedly stood up and walked forward. They raised their necks and looked up the hill.

nAt this moment, the wandering lion had already started running towards them!

nIts fangs were bared and its mane fluttered!

n

n

nThose fierce and cold eyes were filled with cold killing intent and hatred!

nCallie and Maya panicked when they saw this scene. They growled and turned to escape!

nHowever, they hesitated for a moment. They did not know if they were worried about the cubs or if they thought of the fact that wandering lions generally did not hurt female lions. They stopped in their tracks and hurriedly called out to the four young cubs to let them escape!

nLars jumped up from the bushes with a whoosh and turned to flee into the bushes at the back. He left in a hurry.

nUnder Chu Xiaoye’s call, Little Curly Tail and Mei Mei climbed up the Baobab tree and stood with him.

nA lion was massive and it was difficult to climb up.

nCatherine hesitated, not knowing if she should run away like Lars or climb up the Baobab tree.

nShe had always thought that the two trees belonged to the three of them and that she was not qualified to go up.

nJust as she was hesitating, the wandering lion had already rushed over with a murderous aura.

n“Roar!”

nChu Xiaoye lowered his head and called out to her anxiously.

nThis idiot!

nWhy was she still in a daze at a time like this!

n

n

nCome up quickly!

nWhen Catherine heard his call, she was overjoyed and excited. She did not hesitate anymore and immediately rushed under the Baobab tree and climbed up agilely!

nShe lowered her head and quietly walked to another branch. She did not dare to stand too close to him and stood behind him, looking at him happily.

nShe finally stood on the same tree as him.

nFurthermore, he had invited her.

nAt this moment, she actually did not have any fear in her heart and was even in the mood to let her imagination run wild.

n“Roar—”

nThe wandering lion roared angrily and pounced at the two female lions. Its bloody mouth and sharp fangs were filled with extreme anger and killing intent. It did not have the intention to be protective of the fairer sex!

nCallie and Maya were frightened. They hurriedly roared and opened their mouths to resist!

nAt this moment, it was already too late to escape, and he could not have his back facing this wandering lion!

nAs long as he bit his neck and pressed him to the ground, he would never be able to stand up again!

nThe two pregnant female lions’ faces were soon covered in blood and wounds!

nEven if they were not pregnant, they were definitely not a match for this lion that was nearly 200 kilograms!

nThe lion’s body size and strength, as well as the combat genes it had since birth, were definitely not something that any lioness could compare to!

nThis wandering lion clearly had killing intent. Every move was fatal and merciless!

nCallie and Maya were regretful and terrified. They roared in despair and struggled helplessly!

nThe wandering lion suddenly slapped Callie’s face, causing her to fall to the ground. Then, it pounced ferociously, preparing to bite her throat!

n“Roar—”

nRight at this moment, an angry roar suddenly came from the Baobab tree!

nThe wandering lion paused and raised its head to look at the Baobab tree.

nOn the tree, Chu Xiaoye bared his fangs with a provocative gaze.

nLittle Curly Tail and Mei Mei immediately let out roars and looked at him without fear!

nThe wandering lion roared angrily and immediately recognized the three of them.

nWhen he fought with the cold father in the evening, it was these three despicable little fellows who overestimated their abilities and wanted to challenge him. In the end, their mothers were drawn out.

nThat was why he fled!

nHe was going to start a massacre tonight!

nWhether it was the lionesses or the cubs, he would never let them go!

nHe wanted to make all bastards who did not follow the rules pay the most terrible price!

n“Roar—”

nHe roared angrily and continued to pounce on the two female lions!

nHe needed to kill these two pregnant female lions first and make their children die in their wombs!

nThe injured Callie was slapped to the ground again!

nThe wandering lion was about to pounce on her when Maya suddenly pounced on him from behind, roaring and biting him!

nThe wandering lion immediately turned around to deal with her!

nCallie hurriedly took this opportunity to get up from the ground. Without any hesitation, she turned around and ran into the bushes at the back, abandoning her sister, who had been bitten by the lion to save her.

nShe was already more than two months pregnant and her stomach was already bulging. She would be giving birth in a month.

nShe had already lost two children and did not want to lose them again.

nFurthermore, she wanted to live.

nCallie had escaped.

nMaya’s situation immediately became even more dangerous.

nThe wandering lion’s attacks were like a torrential rain that she could not resist at all, let alone escape!

nShe was about to fall.

n“Whoosh!”

nChu Xiaoye suddenly jumped down from the tree and charged towards the wandering lion!

nHe was very afraid.

nIf he was not afraid on the tree, he would definitely be afraid on the ground.

nHe was not even a year old and was not as big as a lioness. How could he resist this strong and huge monster?

nHe had no combat experience with lions.

nFurthermore, the blood of a young cub flowed in his bones, and he was instinctively afraid of adult lions.

nJust like Lars, who ran away without hesitation.

nIndeed, after training, he was already very fast and strong. His claws and teeth were very sharp, but that was only relative to hyenas and other prey.

nThe competition between animals mainly relied on their size and strength to bite.

nIn the face of absolute strength, any fancy skills might only increase his chances of survival, but they could not be too useful in a face-to-face battle.

nJust like a ferocious and terrifying crocodile, no matter how terrifying other animals were, they had to obediently submit to a larger and more powerful hippopotamus.

nWith his current body size and bite strength, he would definitely not be able to defeat this lion that was in its prime.

nHe was not strong enough.

nHe did not want to die.

nHence, he stood on the tree and was hesitant.

nHis animal instincts made him think of only himself first.

nFor example, Callie.

nHowever, when he heard Maya’s desperate roar and terrified eyes and thought of her daughter, Gigi, dying tragically in front of him, he finally overcame his instinctive fear and rushed down the tree!

nHe jumped up high and fell from the tree like a bolt of lightning, pouncing on the wandering lion that was biting Maya!

nHe looked so determined!

nThe bright moonlight fell and shone on his fierce and ferocious face.

nThose amber eyes shone with charming light.

nCatherine stood on the tree and looked at him in a daze.

n
