Lions Major League

"You said Saisen told you..." Asius was resting on the ground, he licked his wound, and looked at Aed with a dull look: "That male lion is very interesting, let you try it?"

Aide responded, the wound on its body bitten by Sesen was still oozing blood.

"Saisen thinks your life is too long." Asius sneered, raised his paw and licked it, and then said: "However, what surprised me is that Saisen and Sein didn't kill you, did you?" Is it because you miss the brotherhood you once had?"

"Brotherhood?" Aed heard that, there was a hint of malice in its lion pupils: "Saisen didn't regard us as brothers."

The two male lions that had come back from hunting next to them roared. Aed turned his head and looked at the food they were hunting. Feeling that he had no appetite, he said, "I'll go for a walk, you guys can eat."

Asius closed his eyes half-closed and said calmly, "Don't listen to Saisen, it just wants you to die sooner."

Aide's footsteps paused slightly, but he didn't take Axius' words to heart.

"Ashius, did Aide go to look for Brother Saison?" A male lion approached with a slightly rough voice, and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Brother Saison for a long time. "

"You can go and have a look." Asius stood up slowly, the blood from the wound had solidified, but it was still a little unsteady, and after licking the blood on his body, he said: "Eusta, you and Dex It's best to go together, if you go alone, I think you may not be able to come back."

The northern lion group consisting of four male lions, Ashius, Aide, Usta, and Dex, is famous in the whole grassland. The former northern lion group consisted of six male lions. Since the Sessen brothers left , only four heads left.

"I'm not interested in Saison, I'm more interested in Thain, my youngest brother." Eustace approached Ashuus, licked Axius's wound lightly before saying: "I'm very interested Out of curiosity, my younger brother, who used to be incapable of hunting and fighting, and who deserved a beating, has no merits other than being obedient, has grown up now?"

When Asius heard this, it said, "Maybe even the advantage of being obedient is lost."

The other two lions immediately laughed mockingly.

Eustace shook the lion's mane, and it sneered, "Really? When it walked with Saison, it was very obedient."

Aide did not participate in the discussion. It walked to A Xing's territory. Along the way, it saw Oscar's body. The body had been eaten by hyenas, and two vultures were still eating carrion.

Aide stuck out his tongue and licked his face, as if he was reminiscing about the wonderful taste of biting off the cub of the Marol pride a few days ago.

"It's so useless to die, Oscar." Aide flicked his tail, sniffed the smell in the air, and then continued to walk towards the place where Axius and the others were resting. Since Axius was injured like this, he didn't believe it. Ah Xing was not injured, maybe he could take the opportunity to kill Ah Xing at this time.

In the future, the reputation of Aide will resound on the grassland.

Aide thought so beautifully that he even shook his tail happily a few times. Seeing the lion coming, the vulture standing on Oscar's body and eating carrion immediately flapped its wings and flew up, circling high in the sky, refusing to land until Aide Ed's figure walked a long way, and then he flew down with confidence.

Qiao Yi and Moore stayed in the water, and the two wild deer were placed in front of Ah Xing, but they didn't coax it well. It lay down on the ground, closed its eyes and rested.

"What's the matter?" Moore was at a loss: "This injury is not serious for it, why is it so listless?"

"Not too heavy?" Qiao Yi paused after hearing that, and then said in a low voice, "I don't know. I went hunting in the morning and came back, and it's just like this."

Qiao Yi was also at a loss. He didn't understand how Ah Xing said he would get angry when he was angry, and the wild deer refused to eat it in front of him, and he didn't talk to Moore. things.

Anyway, we will part ways in the future, so as not to have any disagreements with Ah Xing on this matter, it is better to coax him, at least lower his vigilance, and it will be easier for him to run.

"Of course it's not too heavy." Moore laughed. He approached Qiao Yi and said, "It's a stray male lion. Other stray male lions fought, fought with lions, or hunted bison from the bison herd, and hunted baby elephants from the elephant herd. Before hunting bison, they were surrounded by bison, and their stomachs were pierced. But he survived."

Seeing the various scars on Ah Xing's body, Qiao Yi basically guessed that the other party must have survived various battles, but hearing the details from Moore's mouth is another matter.

"It's normal to be injured, as long as you can't die." Moore looked at it openly, and it said: "If it dies, it's normal."

Two little lions were lying next to the water pool. Qiao Yi gave them a piece of dead wood. The effect of the large cat teaser was still very good. It was difficult to see wild rabbits in the dry season, so the two little lions always followed behind Qiao Yi , Qiao Yi threw the dead wood to the brothers to play with.

Xiaowei got the dead wood into the pool, lay down anxiously on the bank, and tried to retrieve it with his paws, but the paws were too short, so he could only shout anxiously: "Brother, brother, brother..."

"Shut up! It's so loud!" Xiao Scar yelled, and then stretched out his paws to grab the dead wood, but he couldn't grab it back, so Xiao Tai leaned against Xiao Scar's body and rubbed against his brother.

Xiao Scar got up and found a similar dead wood somewhere, and threw it to Xiaowei to play with.

"I'm going to inspect the territory." Qiao Yi got up from the pool, shook off the water droplets on his body, and said, "I guess wild deer don't suit his appetite. I'll check for antelopes."

"I'll go with you." Moore also got up from the pool. Water was still dripping from his lion's mane, and as soon as he swung it up, he took a bath with the two cubs beside him.

Qiao Yi hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at A Xing's reaction. The two wild deer were still where they were and did not move for a moment, and A Xing's furry ears moved a little.

"Forget it, I'll go by myself." Although Qiao Yi's hind leg injury still hurts, it doesn't affect much, and it's okay to patrol the territory.

Seeing that he was so persistent, Moore could only forget it, and just said: "Okay."

As soon as Qiao Yi walked away, Ah Xing stood up on the back. Moore, who was about to continue soaking in the water, saw it and immediately said, "Aren't you going to lie on your stomach? The wound hasn't healed yet."

"..." Ah Xing glanced at Moore, and continued walking in the direction Qiao Yi left without saying a word.

Seeing this, Moore shook his head, lay down in the water, and sighed, "What did I do wrong?"

The withered grass stalks will break at the touch, the cracked ground and the almost toasted and distorted air are filled with the restless atmosphere after the dry season. Qiao Yi walked through the dry grass, and the injury on his hind leg made him unable to walk. The speed had to be slowed down, and the tail swept lightly.

Suddenly, there was a soft rustle from the grass behind him. He paused slightly, looked over vigilantly, and saw a thin and thin rabbit huddled on the ground. The fat rabbit in the past was now hungry and skinny because of the dry season, and its ears were pulled back from the head because of fear. Depend on.

Qiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but soon smelled a strange smell, he tensed up reflexively, staring at a big rock, the side was covered by withered yellow grass stalks, so that before Nothing was found at all.

"You are very vigilant." A strange voice sounded, and Aide came out from behind the stone. Its lion eyes were fixed on Qiao Yi's body, and it sniffed and said: "It seems that the rumors are true. That's right, you are really together with that male lion named A Xing, and the aura it leaves on you is so real."

Qiao Yi's heart sank, and he didn't take Aed's words to heart, but just looked at the other party vigilantly. If he guessed correctly, this should be a male lion from the northern lion group. Although the two sides have not yet fought, Qiao Yi Yi has already instinctively noticed that the male lion in front of him is much more dangerous than the Marol lions.

"This is not where you should be." Qiao Yi let out a low growl from his throat.

"I'll inspect the future territory in advance. Sooner or later, this place will be mine." Aide suddenly moved closer to Qiao Yi. It sniffed Qiao Yi, and said inexplicably, "That trash Saisen can't occupy this place for so long." A piece of territory was taken by a lion group formed by three stray male lions, it is really getting more and more useless."

Qiao Yi's sharp claws were hooked on the ground. He was very vigilant against the lion in front of him, and would be ready to fight back at any time if there was any movement.

"Ashius can't move at all, and Ah Xing should be about the same." Aide's analysis of this is very accurate, his sharp fangs are exposed, his upper body is slightly lowered, and his face is cruel: "Oh, Let me introduce myself, I am Aide of the northern lion group, the future leader of the northern lion group, why don't I kill Ah Xing now, and then occupy this territory... Occupying you, it's very interesting to think about it."

Qiao Yi blocked its way forward, Aide tilted his head and said in confusion, "You don't think you can stop me, do you?"

"Try." Qiao Yi's fangs were exposed, staring at Aide in front of him, he said: "You only have one chance to bet on whether Ah Xing is injured. Si passed by here and was seriously injured, can you still walk out alive?"

Aide paused for a moment, and then roared fiercely, trying to threaten the opponent. Both lions were in an attacking state, and the battle was almost imminent.

"...It's Ah Xing's smell, it's here." Qiao Yi smelled the familiar smell in the air, and he suddenly said to Aide: "Guess if the hyenas will eat your corpse tonight."

Aide froze in place. It obviously also smelled this extremely aggressive aura. Animals are naturally afraid of stronger predators. It lowered its body slightly and took a step back, reluctantly saying: "Do you want to cheat?" Me? I'm not so easy to deceive, Axius is very powerful, it can hurt like that, there is no way that Ah Xing was not injured."

"Then you just wait for it to come over, it should be soon." Qiao Yi looked at it, and said in a flat tone: "However, whether you can leave at that time is not up to you, nor is it up to me."

Ah Xing's breath was getting closer and closer, Aide hesitated for a moment, then fled in the opposite direction without looking back.

Qiao Yi watched its figure disappear into the withered grass, and after making sure that there was no other person's breath in the air, he was relieved, then immediately turned his head and walked towards the direction where A Xing's breath came from.

Ah Xing did come, and it was not far away. It looked at Qiao Yi who was walking towards him, stepped forward to rub him lightly, and asked, "Who is it?"

"A male lion in the northern pride." Qiao Yi glanced at A Xing's wound, and sure enough after walking such a long distance, the wound began to split open and bleed outwards. His heart tightened slightly, and he asked, "Why are you here?"

"I've been behind you, it's just that I didn't show up." Ah Xing licked Qiao Yi's back.

It was always not far away, and if Aed made any attack, it could kill the opponent by surprise.

After living in the grassland for so many years, Ah Xing knows how to hide his whereabouts and kill intruders when he is injured.

The hot summer wind blew across the grassland, blowing the manes of the two lions a little loose. Qiao Yi looked at A Xing's wound and sighed deeply. , don’t start a conflict.”

He has seen the tragedy of the Marroll lions and the fate of the Shirdi lions, and he doesn't want to see Ah Xing next.

But Ah Xing's character is extremely irritable among the lions.

"Okay." Ah Xing only gave one word, then rubbed him and said, "Shall we go back? The inspection of the territory should be over, right?"

After Qiao Yi responded, he turned around and walked back. A Xing stood there and paused for a while. He lowered his head and gently sniffed the breath left by Aed. His fangs were faintly exposed. The golden lion There was a hint of hostility in his pupils.

"Ah Xing?" Qiao Yi walked two steps and found that A Xing hadn't followed, so he turned his head and shouted, and Ah Xing slowly followed behind Qiao Yi. The two lions walked very slowly, and the afterglow of the sun set On them, two shadows were pulled out, walking one after the other.

The hare, who was spotted by Qiao Yi before, noticed that the breath of the lions was gradually moving away, so he carefully jumped into the grass and hid.

With a sound of "噗——", a huge paw stepped on the hare, and the hare didn't even make a final cry, the internal organs were all squeezed out, and the thin body was only left with fur wrapped on broken bones.

A male lion lowered his head and licked the fresh blood on the ground, then sniffed the smell in the air, then took two steps back, turned his head and walked in another direction. This lion's tail was different from ordinary lions.

It raised its head, one eye was already blind, and the old, narrow and hideous scar almost stretched across its abdomen.

"Hey, little lion." It licked the blood on its fangs and whispered hoarsely, "It's grown up."

Ah Xing, who was walking back with Qiao Yi, turned his head and looked in the previous direction as if feeling something. It stood there, breathing a little more heavily, with the tip of its claws hooking on the dry and cracked ground, as if judging where the breath came from. where.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Yi asked back.

"..." Ah Xing took a sniff, then turned his head and walked to Qiao Yi's side, rubbed Qiao Yi and said, "It's okay, let's go."

That breath quickly disappeared and was blown away by the wind. When it tried to determine it again, it could no longer be found. It was just like an illusion.

"Is it because Aide hasn't left yet?" Ah Xing's performance was so obvious that Qiao Yi couldn't have noticed it. He asked in a deep voice, "Or are the lions from other northern lions also coming?"

"Neither." There was a trace of uncertainty in Ah Xing's lion eyes. He lowered his head and sniffed the smell on the ground, and then sniffed the remaining smell in the air, trying to find some clues, but in the end he had no choice but to give up. : "Let's go."

Qiao Yi intuitively felt that something was wrong with Ah Xing's reaction, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

It was already evening when the two lions came back. Moore hunted the antelope very sensiblely. He lay beside the antelope and said, "The prey in the dry season is getting harder and harder to find. It took two laps to find the antelope."

It swept its tail, its eyes fell on Ah Xing's wound, and said a little worriedly: "Your wound may not be able to migrate for the time being."

"As soon as the northern lions leave, we will leave immediately." Ah Xing licked his wound, and after a reply, he lay down on the rock that he used to lie on before. The golden lion pupils seemed a little indifferent, and he watched calmly. far away.

Its tail shook a little anxiously, and it patted the stone lightly.

"Okay." Moore responded, and after eating the antelope, it came to Qiao Yi's side and asked in a low voice, "Did you meet something? Asius?"

"Aide." Qiao Yi relaxed, and began to recall Aide's words, he said: "Why does it say that it is the future leader of the northern lion group?"

"Oh, this matter." Moore was lying beside Qiao Yi, and when his tail was wagging, it was always easy to hit Qiao Yi. The injury of Asius is the best time for them to usurp the throne."

Qiao Yi: ...

"It's not a day or two since Aed wanted to usurp the throne." Moore opened his mouth and yawned, his fangs almost brushed against Qiao Yi's face, and he hastily avoided it.

"The position of the leader of Asius...doesn't seem stable." Qiao Yi was indeed a little surprised. After all, lions are different from wolves. Wolves are indeed prone to usurping the throne, but there are fewer lions. Of course Not without it.

"It's more than unstable." Moore said with great interest: "The northern lions were originally suppressed by the force of Axius. Whether it was Aide, Eusta, or Dex, they had all rebelled against Axius. .”

Qiao Yi thought about Saison's character, and thought that Saison might also be one of the rebels.

When he was about to ask something, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Ah Xing lying motionless on the rock, its tail was slightly lowered and stiff, and its eyes were always looking at the place where they were patrolling before.

Qiao Yi had never seen Ah Xing in such a state. After hesitating for a while, he asked Moore, "Do you think there is anything unusual about Ah Xing?"

"Abnormal? That's too much." Moore got up and said, "I'll give you a live demonstration."

Without waiting for Qiao Yi to refute, it lowered its head and lightly licked the wound on Qiao Yi's hind leg. Qiao Yi flinched subconsciously, and then heard the sound of breaking wind. Before he could react, he was caught by Ah Xing His paws hit the ground, and Ah Xing growled at Moore.

Moore quickly backed away immediately, it shook the lion's mane, and said innocently: "See, it wasn't like this before."

Qiao Yi who was pinned to the ground by Ah Xing's paw: ...

"Ah Xing..." Qiao Yi escaped helplessly from A Xing's claws, stood up with difficulty and said, "What are you going to do?"

Ah Xing lowered his head and licked the fluff on Qiao Yi's flanks. Its tongue was barbed, so it was okay to scrape on the body, but it did hurt a little when it touched the wound.

"Leave in two days." Ah Xing said suddenly: "There is not much water, and there is not enough prey to allow us to survive the entire dry season."

Originally, the water level in the pool reached Qiao Yi's back, but now even if it lay down, the water level only reached its abdomen, so that Qiao Yi and Moore had been lying in the pool for the past few days, and every time they got up, they brought covered in mud.

In the past, herds of wildebeest or bison would often drink water here, and wild deer would appear in groups, but now looking at the past, there are almost no prey to be seen. No matter how superb hunting skills are, Ah Xing is useless without prey.

"Okay." Qiao Yi's heart clenched slightly, his eyes subconsciously avoided Ah Xing, and he lay down on the ground.

The two cubs are just at the age of playing, but because of the overheating temperature, they lie on the ground, motionless, and maintain their strength.

"Your injury can't be moved yet, right?" Qiao Yi asked slowly, suppressing the tension in his heart.

"Okay." Ah Xing was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that it was in a slightly happy mood, and put all the previous irritability behind it. Its furry ears were slightly pushed back, and it rubbed against Qiao Yi, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry. .”

At night, Ah Xing was abnormally unable to sleep. It slept next to Qiao Yi. Qiao Yi could feel the ups and downs of the other's abdomen when he breathed. He couldn't hide it, so he could only close his eyes and pretend to rest.

"Qiao Yi, are you still afraid of me?" Ah Xing asked in a low voice.

Qiao Yi didn't answer it, but pretended to be asleep, with his tail pressed against the ground tightly, feeling A Xing's rough tongue licking his body, giving him a faint itchy feeling.

In the next few days, Ah Xing found that Qiao Yi had a different attitude from avoiding it in the past. Not only would he put the prey he had hunted so hard in front of it, but he would also carefully lick its wound from time to time, asking Does it hurt anymore.

Ah Xing said that it has been very happy these few days. Every day, its tail will happily pat Qiao Yi's body, and then sleep together with Qiao Yi.

"Father." The two little lions collapsed on the ground, so hot that the two cubs were unwilling to crawl under Qiao Yi's body, and asked with their tails flicking, "We will leave here in a few days? Uncle Moore Said we were going to follow migrating game."

"Yes." Qiao Yi replied with a heavy heart. During the dry season, due to lack of food, the lions will follow the migrating troop and leave the territory for a certain distance, but they will not leave too far. In the rainy season next year, The lions will come back here and wait for the prey to come back here again and start the feast mode.

It was not only A Xing and the others who were preparing to leave here, but also Sesen and Sein.

"Axius and Axing had a fight, and it looks like they lost?" Thain lay beside Saisen, watching Saisen rest with his eyes closed, and said in a low voice: "The northern lions have come to Asius And Aide, Usta and Dex should also come, and they will come to trouble us in a few days."

"Dex I don't know, but Eusta will definitely come to you." Saisen closed his eyes half-closed, and his eyes fell on Thain: "If I get hit by it again this time, I won't hit it , I'll beat you straight up, did you hear me?"

"I heard you, brother!" Thain's furry ears immediately pressed back and hid them in the lion's mane. It approached it flatteringly, and said cautiously, "Brother, let Aide find Qiao Yi..."

Sai Sen turned his eyes to look at Thain, and sneered after a moment: "It will go, it is keen on usurping the throne and sending it to death, and there is no lion in the entire grassland that can compare to it."

Thain: ...

"This sentence is also for you to hear, do you understand? It is the first to die, and you are the second." Sesen stuck out his tongue and licked his face, and then said: "It's okay, don't provoke the lion with the cub For the male lions, let the northern lions do the work of sending them to death."

"Okay, brother." Thain responded, and said: "Before, Eustace said that the reason why you and Asius fought, brother, was because..."

Before Thain could finish speaking, there was an extremely slight sound from the bushes not far away, which could not be noticed without paying attention.

Suddenly, Sein propped his forelegs on the ground, straightened his body, his ears moved slightly, turned his head to look into the depths of the nearby bushes, and let out a low growl, Sein also immediately got up and pointed there, bowed his body and went forward, then darted out, and flung himself into the bushes.

There was nothing in it, it was empty.

Thain got up and stood where he was. After looking around twice, he lowered his head and sniffed the withered grass on the ground. There was an aura of a strange lion, which was well hidden, so that neither it nor its brother noticed.

"Could it be Asius or a male lion from another northern pride?" Sion asked.

"No." There was a trace of caution in Saisen's lion eyes. It licked its paw, then put it down, stepped on the grass with its sharp paw, and said in a low voice, "It's other lions... The grassland is not very stable."

In this grassland, the lions say that there are many or few, but most of Saisen have encountered it, but this time the breath is something Saisen has never encountered before, and a trace of it suddenly surged in his heart. disturbed.

Lions are extremely sensitive to the danger before it comes.

Even Asius, who faced the northern lions when he was four years old, Saisen never felt this way.
