Chapter 75 - The Elephant's Corpse
n
n
nThe sky was still dark.
nThe cold father’s low growl sounded in the camp.
n
nThe four female lions got up.
nThey decided to set off to hunt before the sun came out.
nOtherwise, the heat would be unbearable.
nAt this moment.
n
nMany herbivores that had eaten for a night were most relaxed and easy to approach.
nNow that the weather was too hot, they could not bring back their prey. It was also time for the young cubs to learn how to hunt. Hence, the female lions decided to bring them along.
nThe pride bathed in the bright moonlight and crawled into the dense bushes at the back. They quietly walked towards the distant thorny Acacia Tree forest.
nThey decided to hunt giraffes again.
n
nAlthough it was dangerous, only this type of prey was enough to fill the pride.
nThe murderous aura of the pride seemed to be innate.
nAs they walked, they were full of life. The birds and squirrels in the bushes fled after smelling the scent.
nHowever, their stomachs were rumbling with hunger, and they were not in the mood to enjoy this prestige.
nThe pride entered the Acacia Tree Forest and searched for a while, but they did not find a giraffe.
nHowever, there was a group of elephants resting in the forest not far away.
n
nThe cold father walked to the front and stared coldly at the group of elephants for a while. Then, he turned around and led the pride in another direction.
nThey could not afford to provoke such a huge monster.
nOn this grassland, there were no animals that dared to have designs on elephants.
nEven kings of the grassland like them were no exception.
nOf course, there were also things that the elephants were afraid of here.
nFor example, hornets and all sorts of poisonous bees.
nSometimes, to eat the tender leaves on the branches, the elephants would use their great strength to push the big tree over and break the branches.
nHowever, there would be beehives on some trees.
n
nAt this time, the poisonous bees would attack in groups and chase every elephant in the elephant pack crazily.
nTherefore, the elephant herd was extremely afraid of these little things. As soon as they discovered them, they would let out rumbling sounds and remind their companions to dodge quickly.
nSuch a huge monster was afraid of these small things. He could not help but marvel at the wonders of nature.
nEverything had its weakness.
nAlmost every species had their nemesis, holding each other back and maintaining the ecological balance of nature.
nThose without nemeses, like the former overlord, dinosaurs, would eventually be eliminated by nature.
n“Bang!”
nAn explosion suddenly sounded in the forest not far away!
nThe elephants that were resting immediately fled in fright.
nThe ground trembled and rumbled!
nA male elephant fell to the ground, and a bloody hole appeared in its head. Fresh blood flowed out.
nThe walking pride was also frightened. They turned around and ran!
nAlthough they did not know what was happening, that sound was really terrifying. Even an elephant herd was fleeing in panic, so they naturally did not dare to stay.
n
nChu Xiaoye climbed up a big tree and hid in the dense foliage.
nHis heart raced and his breathing almost stopped. He looked at the elephant that was lying in a pool of blood with fear and complicated feelings.
nThe humans had arrived!
nThe sound just now was a gunshot!
nSoon, two human figures walked in front of the fallen elephant.
nThe male elephant had yet to stop breathing and was still struggling.
nA human pulled out a sharp knife, squatted in front of it, and stabbed it in the head.
nBlood sprayed, but the two humans were laughing.
nThe elephant twitched a few times and finally stopped struggling.
nThe human started to cut his ivory.
nSoon.
nThey left with their spoils of war.
n
nOnly the elephant without its tusks was left lying quietly in a pool of blood.
nThe expression on his face was still quiet and benevolent.
nChu Xiaoye hid on the tree, trembling all over. He did not know if it was because of fear or something else.
n“Roar!”
nLittle Curly Tail’s cry came from under the tree.
nHe lost his brother and followed the smell back.
nA strong smell of blood filled the forest.
nThe pride returned after leaving.
nThey did not understand what the sound just now meant. They only knew that prey was injured or dead nearby.
nThe cold father brought the lionesses and young cubs and ran over quickly.
n
nMei Mei stopped under the tree and stood with Little Curly Tail. She raised her neck and called out to Chu Xiaoye on the tree.
nAisha’s cry also sounded from under the tree.
nThey smelled the scent of a feast, so they were very excited.
nChu Xiaoye’s mind was buzzing. He climbed down from the tree and walked in front of the elephant with them.
nThe cold father could not wait to eat.
nThe hungry lionesses also occupied their seats.
nLars pushed Aisha away roughly and occupied the elephant’s abdomen with his father.
nLittle Curly Tail walked behind him and slapped his butt impolitely. He let out a roar and told him to scram with a fierce expression.
nLars turned his head and roared as well. However, after seeing Chu Xiaoye, he immediately put away his fangs, quietly got up, and made way.
nLittle Curly Tail immediately called out to his brother in a fawning manner and let him eat there.
n
nChu Xiaoye stayed in place, staring at the bloody hole in the elephant’s head in a daze. No one knew what he was thinking.
nLittle Curly Tail thought that he was not hungry and could only lie there and wolf down the food.
nThe elephant’s corpse was very big, enough for every member of the pride to eat a full meal. There was still plenty left.
nHowever, this unexpected sumptuous meal did not just attract them.
nJackals came after hearing the news.
nA group of wild dogs smelled the scent of blood and ran over.
nA few wandering hyenas followed.
nHowever, looking at the pride who was chowing down, they did not dare to approach. They could only drool at the side and wait patiently.
nHowever, there were still accidents.
nAt this moment, the Seno brothers’ pride, which he had not seen for a long time, suddenly crossed the border of the territory and ran over!
nThe Seno brothers bared their fangs and let out threatening roars. They were brazenly coming to snatch the food!
nTheir pride had already been hungry for a long time. At this moment, when they saw this sumptuous meal, they naturally drooled over it.
nThe cold father immediately stood up, his mouth full of blood, and roared angrily!
nThe four female lions also stood up and bared their fangs, roaring angrily.
nAlthough he was afraid of the Seno brothers’ pride, the other party was actually invading his territory fearlessly and wanted to snatch his food. He could not tolerate this!
nThe two prides roared as they faced each other, not giving in to each other.
nThe other animals that were coveting the elephant’s corpse at the side dispersed and fled further away, but they were still unwilling to leave.
nHunger made them continue to wait patiently.
nOut of the six female lions in the Seno brothers’ pride, one died and there were still five left.
nHowever, four of the female lions seemed to be pregnant.
nThe female lions of both sides had equal combat strength.
nHowever, the other party had two lions.
nThis was definitely a terrifying thing for the pride of the cold father.
nHowever, this time, they could not back down!
nOtherwise, this already small territory would never have room for their pride again!
nA battle was about to start!
