nAfter dawn.

n

n

nWhen Little Curly Tail woke up and wagged his tail to look for his brother, he suddenly let out a scream and turned to run!

n

n

n

n

nThe five female lions were awakened.

n

n

nThe few little cubs also woke up in confusion.

n

n

nWhen the female lions came under the tree, they were immediately shocked by what they saw!

n

n

nUnder the tree, a thick patterned python flipped its belly and died in the grass.

n

n

n

n

nIts body was intact and there were no wounds or bloodstains.

n

n

nHowever, the lower half of its mouth was nowhere to be seen!

n

n

nOn the tree, the six-month-old male cub was sleeping soundly. Its mouth and neck were covered in blood!

n

n

nThe lower half of the python’s mouth was on the branch beside him, dripping with blood!

n

n

n

n

nThe five female lions raised their heads and looked dazed.

n

n

nThe cubs ran over one after another. They were all frightened by the python on the ground and cowered behind the female lions.

n

n

nMei Mei shivered and crawled under Xi’er.

n

n

nLittle Curly Tail was much bolder.

n

n

nAlthough this kid had been shocked when he first saw the python, he now dared to approach it. He even extended his little claws to slap the head of python that had died with a grievance.

n

n

nThe bloody smell of the python stimulated the hungry lionesses.

n

n

n

n

nAlthough the five female lions did not know how this python’s chin was bitten off by a young cub, this did not stop them from filling their hungry stomachs with it.

n

n

nAlthough this python was not too big, it was rather long and its entire body was made of flesh. It was enough for every lioness to eat a few bites.

n

n

nTaking advantage of the absence of the male lion, the five female lions immediately ate heartily.

n

n

nThe cubs stood at the side, not daring to go forward.

n

n

nOnly Little Curly Tail took a bite of the bloody snake tail. But he immediately spat it out with a look of disdain.

n

n

nHe probably could not get used to this meaty thing.

n

n

nLions generally did not eat snakes, nor would they provoke snakes unless they were too hungry.

n

n

nIn less than a moment.

n

n

n

n

nAn entire python was devoured by the five female lions.

n

n

nHowever, their stomachs were not full.

n

n

nAnd they still had to feed the cubs.

n

n

nAfter patrolling the territory, the lion would return to eat.

n

n

nHence, the female lions had to go out to hunt.

n

n

nInitially, they had wanted to continue letting the blind Xi’er stay to take care of the cubs. After all, she seemed to be severely injured yesterday and was on the verge of death.

n

n

nHowever, Xi’er insisted on hunting.

n

n

nShe even ran in front of the four female lions and jumped a few times to show that she could do it.

n

n

nShe did not want her friends and daughter to look down on her.

n

n

nFinally.

n

n

nAisha stayed.

n

n

nWhen she was hunting last night, her front leg was injured.

n

n

nAlthough her wound had already healed and she no longer felt any pain.

n

n

n

n

nAfter the four female lions left.

n

n

nAisha lifted her injured leg and looked at it carefully. She even licked it a few times. It seemed strange.

n

n

nWhen she was injured in the past, she could not recover so quickly.

n

n

n“Roar!”

n

n

nLittle Curly Tail raised his head and shouted at Chu Xiaoye, who was on the tree. He wanted his brother to play with him.

n

n

nHowever, Chu Xiaoye was lying motionless on the branch.

n

n

nHe had almost exhausted all his energy last night and was very tired now.

n

n

nHe wanted to sleep.

n

n

nAisha looked up, thought for a while, and then lay down under the tree. She raised her neck and looked warily at the seven young cubs around her.

n

n

nSeeing that his brother was ignoring him, Little Curly Tail could only start sprinting towards the tree. He wanted to climb up the tree to wake him up.

n

n

nBut after trying several times, he gave up halfway.

n

n

nMei Mei also started to sprint.

n

n

nShe failed the first time.

n

n

nThe second time, she managed to charge up in one move!

n

n

nHowever, just as the little lioness steadied herself on the branch, she suddenly saw the mouth of the python. She immediately let out a terrified scream and almost fell from the tree. Her entire body trembled non-stop!

n

n

nChu Xiaoye was woken up by her and did not have any protective feelings for the fairer sex. He slapped her on the head, got up, climbed onto a higher branch, and continued to sleep.

n

n

nMei Mei was terrified by the half of the python’s mouth. She saw that his mouth was full of blood and he looked ferocious. She did not dare to stay on the tree any longer and immediately retreated from the tree while trembling.

n

n

nLittle Curly Tail was recalcitrant and continued to charge towards the big tree!

n

n

nFinally, he climbed up.

n

n

nWhen he saw the half of the python’s mouth on the branch, to show off in front of Mei Mei, he bit it in his mouth and deliberately lowered his head. Looking at Mei Mei, who was still trembling under the tree, he started chewing with relish.

n

n

nMei Mei did not dare to look anymore. She turned around and ran, jumping onto the small tree beside her.

n

n

nLittle Curly Tail was very pleased.

n

n

nAlthough he felt a little disgusted, he still ate the half of the python’s mouth.

n

n

n“Roar!”

n

n

nHe looked up and called Chu Xiaoye a few times, but there was no response.

n

n

nJust as he was about to continue climbing, Chu Xiaoye suddenly spread his hind legs and started peeing on the tree.

n

n

nThe urine splashed accurately onto Little Curly Tail’s head.

n

n

nLittle Curly Tail was shocked and angry. He hurriedly shook his head and retreated from the tree. He ran to his mother and complained.

n

n

nThe urine flowed from the tree.

n

n

nAisha also got up in a hurry and shifted some distance away. She looked up at the tree with a helpless expression.

n

n

nOn the small tree, Mei Mei was wagging her tail and jumping around with a gloating expression.

n

n

nLittle Curly Tail was so angry that he wanted to go up and beat her up.

n

n

nMei Mei immediately blocked him at the first branch and prevented him from going up.

n

n

nThe one-year-old male cub, Lars, brought the other cubs over to play with Little Curly Tail.

n

n

nLittle Curly Tail ignored this big brother and walked away arrogantly. He went to hit the small bugs in the grass.

n

n

nSeeing Mei Mei on the tree, Lars suddenly thought of the dangerous situation yesterday.

n

n

nWhen the hyenas attacked yesterday, the female cub had climbed up the tree very quickly. Meanwhile, as the big brother, he could not manage to climb up no matter how hard he tried.

n

n

nIf not for his half-brother using his head to push him up, he would have been eaten by the hyenas.

n

n

nThinking of this, he turned his head and looked at the boy sleeping on the big tree beside him. He was secretly grateful and impressed.

n

n

n“No, as the elder brother, how can I be weaker than the other younger brothers?”

n

n

nHe immediately called out to his brothers and sisters behind him, telling them to follow him and practise climbing trees.

n

n

nAt a crucial moment, if he wanted to live, he had to rely on himself!

n

n

nHence.

n

n

nThe group of cubs started to practise climbing trees.

n

n

nThe ferocious hyenas from yesterday had frightened them badly.

n

n

nIt was safer on the tree.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye had thought the same previously.

n

n

nHowever, after experiencing the nightmare last night, he realized that whether it was on the tree or under the tree, it would not be absolutely safe.

n

n

nThe safest way was to be strong!

n

n

n“Roar—”

n

n

nWith a low growl, the lion paced back majestically.

n

n

nAisha quickly stood up and went over to rub his head. What she got in return was a cold gaze and an impatient roar.

n

n

nThe lion was hungry.

n

n

nHe ate the most yesterday and did not do much vigorous exercise. He could have gone hungry for a few more days.

n

n

nHowever, the rainy season and the abundant food it brought with it had already spoilt him.

n

n

nHe was used to having fresh meat every day.

n

n

nAisha looked into the distance and was secretly worried.

n

n

nLast night, the four female lions ran very far before they found their prey. After chasing for a long time, they did not succeed. In the end, they only caught a small warthog.

n

n

nShe wondered if Xi’er and the others would be able to return with plenty of prey today.

n

n

nIf they failed again, their king would be furious.

n

n

nAnd their children would also go hungry.

n

n

nShe hoped that the rainy season could be extended and that the dry season would not arrive so soon.

n

n

nAfter all, their children were still young and needed to be fed with abundant food.

n

n

nAlthough it was morning, the air was still hot.

n

n

nThe lion lay on a slope, looking at the distant grassland with a dignified gaze while waiting for the lionesses to return from hunting.

n

n

nOn the tree.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye was still sleeping soundly.
