Chapter 81 - Pleasurable and Sour

nLars left.
nThe pride returned to the camp in silence.
n
n
nThe usually lively and active Little Curly Tail also quietened down at this moment. He lowered his head. Other crocodiles were hiding as if he was thinking about something.
nHe seemed to understand something.
nHe raised his head and looked at his father, the majestic but cold and heartless king.
nIn the future, would he be expelled as well?
n
n
nThen.
nHe turned around and looked at his brother.
nHis eyes gradually lit up again.
nThe anxiety and worry in his heart were also swept away at this moment.
n
n
nWhat was he afraid of?
nAs long as his brother was by his side, he was not afraid of anything!
nAt most, he would go with his brother to reclaim a larger territory!
nWith his brother’s ability and strength, plus his intelligence, who could resist him on the grassland?
nHmph!
nThey were all trash!
n
n
nNot a single one of them could fight!
nAt the thought of this, Little Curly Tail’s depressed mood was swept away. He immediately became high-spirited and his fighting spirit soared!
nHe hoped to grow up faster!
n“Roar!”
nHe called out excitedly and leaned towards his brother, rubbing against his body affectionately.
nChu Xiaoye ignored him.
nLittle Curly Tail went to Mei Mei’s side and scratched her tail with his claws before running away quickly.
nHowever, Mei Mei ignored him.
n
n
nUnder the hot sun, everyone was so hot that their mouths were dry.
nMei Mei drooled at the thought of the especially sweet water her brother had gotten from who knew where.
nThe cold father brought the pride and did not return to the camp. Instead, he walked towards the hill.
nHe was very thirsty and wanted to go and drink some water.
nHowever, he did not know that at the foot of the hill, the river that was still muddy yesterday had completely dried up today.
nBeside the river, a few monkeys stood in a daze, still waiting bitterly.
nThey seemed to think that the disappeared river water would soon reappear.
nThey had been standing there since morning, and their mouths were dry.
nA monkey had already fainted from the hot sun and had no chance to get up.
nIn the mud at the bottom of the river, an old crocodile lay motionless, having lost its life.
nThe cold father brought the pride down the hill and came to the river. He looked at the bare riverbed silently.
nWhen he was on the hill, he had already seen that there was no water in the river.
nHowever, he still had to approach and confirm it.
n
n
nUsually, lions could obtain water from their food. Their requirement for water was not as high as that of other animals.
nHowever, in such weather, one would have a dry mouth and throat if they moved around slightly. They would have to drink water to hydrate themselves.
nThe dryness of the river was a huge threat to the pride.
nIt was not just because of the water and prey, but also because of the wandering lion on the other side of the river.
nWhen the river was abundant in the past, there were a few wandering lions on the other side who were roaring and provoking him, coveting his territory and his female lions.
nThey did not come because of the river’s obstruction.
nNow that the river water was dry, they would be free of obstruction.
nThe cold father stood by the river in a dignified and silent manner. He raised his head and looked at the opposite shore, his eyes filled with coldness and worry.
nMaya walked to his side and rubbed against his body, urging him to leave.
nShe was pregnant.
nHe could not stay under the sun for long in this weather.
nThe other lionesses were also panting from the heat.
nThe cold father looked at the dry riverbed again and turned around to leave with the lions.
nThe dead crocodiles in the mud and the unconscious monkey by the river not far away did not attract their attention.
nThe hot weather and the hot sun made them have no appetite, and they did not want to take risks and waste their energy.
nThere were other crocodiles hiding in the mud in the river.
nAs for the monkeys on the shore, they were so thin that they had no meat.
nThey were hot and thirsty. They had to quickly return to the shade of the camp and lie down to rest.
nThe vulture circled in the sky and looked down with its sharp eyes at the corpse by the river.
nThey were very patient and could even observe in the sky for a few days.
nWhen they confirmed that the animal lying on the ground was really dead, they would land and continue to probe.
nThe other carnivores in the distance were hiding in the shade, looking up at its movements.
nMany carnivores used each other.
nVultures could find the corpses of other carnivores according to their movements, and other carnivores could also move according to their movements.
nIf the animals’ fur was too thick, the vultures would not mind letting other carnivores with sharp teeth share the food.
nThey were the cleaners of the grassland.
nThe cold father brought the pride back to the camp. They each found a shade and lay in it. They opened their mouths and closed their eyes to avoid exhausting their strength and energy.
nCatherine lay in the bushes and looked up at the figure with a burning gaze.
nChu Xiaoye climbed up the tree under the hot sun.
nAfter a while, he picked up a water bag full of water and climbed down from the tree, walking in front of his mother.
nAisha opened her eyes and looked at the thing in his mouth with surprise.
nIt was the bladder of a gnu, and the bladder was filled with water.
nChu Xiaoye carefully placed the water bag in front of her and aimed it at her, signaling her to drink quickly.
nAisha looked at him deeply and quickly stuck out her tongue to lick.
nThis son of hers always exceeded her expectations.
nXi’er, who was lying not far away, watched this scene with gentleness in her eyes, as if she was looking at her child.
nMei Mei, who was lying beside her, immediately stood up and ran to Chu Xiaoye’s side. She twisted her body and tried to lick his butt.
nShe seemed to be saying, “Brother, Mei Mei is so thirsty…”
nLittle Curly Tail immediately rushed over and knocked her to the side. He looked at her disdainfully, as if he was saying, “Licking a lion! You don’t know shame! This is my brother!”
nThen, he stuck out his tongue to lick his brother, but his brother glared at him and immediately retracted his tongue.
nAfter his mother drank the water, Chu Xiaoye looked at them and gestured for them to drink.
nLittle Curly Tail and Mei Mei immediately leaned over happily.
nAfter Little Curly Tail drank the water and was about to return to the shade to lie down again, Chu Xiaoye suddenly raised his claw and gave him a slap. He looked at him with a dignified gaze and let him pick up the water bag to bring water to the other members.
nLittle Curly Tail saw his brother looking at their father.
nHe immediately understood.
nBrother is so good!
nHis brother had given him this task of sucking up for nothing!
nHe immediately picked up the water bag excitedly and ran in front of his father, handing it over with a fawning expression.
n“Bam!”
nThe water bag suddenly fell to the ground and the water inside splashed in front of the cold father. It quickly seeped into the grass and disappeared.
nLittle Curly Tail’s mouth was open in shock.
nThe cold father opened his eyes and looked at him coldly.
nAt this moment.
nIn the orchard a mile behind.
nA pair of leopards, a mother and daughter, were lying on a fruit tree, baring their teeth and frowning as they ate the green fruits. They were so sour that their heads swayed and their bodies trembled.
nHowever, the cool water in the fruits made their burning throats and thirsty bodies scream in pleasure: Go on! Go on! One more!
nThe mother-daughter pair chewed as their bodies trembled. The fruits were sour but felt satisfying, and their joy was boundless.
nBelita ate one after another.
nFrom today onwards, this orchard would be occupied by the mother and daughter!
nNo animal could dream of eating fruits!
nIncluding the smelly cub that was forcing her to eat fruits!
n“Roar! Roar!”
nBelita cried out happily, but she could not help but tremble. Her sour mouth and eyes were slanted, and her tail was wagging.
n
