The migrating team of elephants is very large, and their calls can be heard from a distance. Qiao Yi came here earlier, and there are not many trailing predators. It's just that in this season, even the elephants It is not easy to find water source.

Some water in a mire is very precious to these animals.

Reid and Alina didn't understand why Qiao Yi arranged this way. Normally a lioness would keep her cubs by her side, but Qiao Yi didn't. Something special.

The two little lions followed behind the Duo Luo brothers and sisters. The two big lions knew how to drink water next to the herd of elephants and carefully guarded the little lions. Not far away, Qiao Yi was standing in the bushes and watching. Cong slightly covered his figure, and his eyes fell near the quagmire, observing his surroundings.

The lion cubs were indeed thirsty. When they drank water, they wanted to put their heads in and muddy their faces. The little elephant next to it let out a cry, rubbed the elephant's legs affectionately, and then rolled in the mud .

"Are you going to drink water?" After the Duo Luo brothers and sisters brought the little lion back, the little lion rubbed against Qiao Yi, and Elena asked, "I didn't smell Ah Xing's breath, of course it might be me who smelled it." Wrong, after all, the atmosphere here is too mixed."

"En." After Qiao Yi responded, he told the little lion to stay where he was, and then he turned his head and walked to the edge of the quagmire. When he lowered his head to drink water, he suddenly smelled a strange smell. a lion.

This lion seemed to be at the peak of its eight-year-old age. Its mane was turning black. It seemed to have sensed Qiao Yi's gaze. When it raised its head to look at Qiao Yi, Qiao Yi's spine stiffened subconsciously, and the tip of its tail stiffened.

The other party was blind in one eye and had a long scar on his face. The other party looked at him without moving, and then continued to drink water with his head down.

The little elephant on the side got up from the mud and blocked Qiao Yi's sight. When he looked again, the other party had disappeared.

There is no doubt that this male lion is a stray male lion, but its eyes made Qiao Yi's heart tighten slightly. It was different from the lions he saw a few days ago. This lion looked at Qiao Yi with calm eyes , but it's not like seeing the eyes of the same kind.

Qiao Yi stuck out his tongue and licked the water stains on his face, then turned his head and looked around, and then walked into the bushes, but saw the Doro brothers and sisters looking at him all the time, Qiao Yi was slightly taken aback, and asked : "What are you looking at?"

"Just now..." Reid's voice trembled, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "Did you see that lion just now?"

"Yeah." Qiao Yi always felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the other party mention the lion.

"It's this lion..." Reid took a deep breath, and then said, "It killed Kavo!"

Qiao Yi was licking the backs of the two cubs, but he paused for a moment when he heard this, and looked up at them.

"At the boundary of Ah Xing's territory, our three brothers and sisters originally wanted to avoid Ah Xing and Saisen, but we met it." Elina took a deep breath, and its claws hooked on the ground, shaking slightly uneasy Tap the tail: "Its attack speed is too fast, we can't dodge at all, and finally Kavo held it back, so we can escape, but Kavo is also dead..."

Alina paused, and then said: "But I think it's not because it couldn't catch us, but because it let us go."

Reid also lowered his head, his tail shrugged, and he licked the fur on his body embarrassingly.

"Let's go." Now that Alina and Red have reached this point, Qiao Yi also realizes how dangerous this blind male lion is. He doesn't want to lose his front foot and be targeted by a ferocious lion again. .

Originally, he saw that there was no trace of Ah Xing around, and planned to rest a little longer, but now it seems that this plan will also be cancelled.

Walking through the bushes with the two cubs, the Duoluo brothers and sisters followed behind, Elena looked back at the place where she found the blind male lion before she walked halfway, but she didn't see the blind male lion. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief, but when he looked up, he saw the male lion looking in the bushes not far away.

Alina's fur almost exploded. It took a step back unexpectedly, and subconsciously grabbed the grass stem with its paws, but the male lion didn't do anything, just glanced at Alina, then turned away and disappeared into the into the bushes.

"Elena? What are you looking at?" Red growled when he saw that Elena hadn't followed.

Alina woke up with a start, and immediately turned around and followed Qiao Yi's pace, but she still couldn't help but turn her head to look at the bushes before, and couldn't find any traces.

There are dangers everywhere on the grassland in the dry season, and Qiao Yi doesn't plan to stay too far away from the elephant herd, but he has to avoid the terrifying male lion, and he also has to avoid A Xing.

He thought of the previous rumors from other lions that "A Xing was seriously injured by Aide". It was as outrageous as possible, but Qiao Yi might have three points to believe that he was seriously injured by Asius or Saison. .

With three lions and two cubs, Qiao Yi's hunting skills are becoming more and more mature, but the prey is too small, and it cannot hunt large prey. During the dry season, even the male lion's hunting success rate drops a lot. After Yi lost his prey again, he lay down on the spot and sighed.

Once the prey ran into the herd of bison, Qiao Yi had to stop. The herd of bison, which was a little restless due to the hot weather, was obviously not friendly to these male lions. Their hooves stamped the ground anxiously, and Qiao Yi stepped back cautiously. After a few steps, he ran away without looking back.

The very hungry hyena stared at the two cubs, but did not dare to go forward. The male lion was lying not far from the two cubs. The hungry male lion was not in a good mood.

Qiao Yi licked his paws, his belly floated up and down slightly, and the fluff on his belly was also stained with withered grass.

"Why don't you try hunting bison." Reid suggested, "There is a single, just-adult bison over there. It looks like it has a bit of a leg injury, so it shouldn't be able to run fast."

Qiao Yi looked in the direction Red said, and indeed saw a lone bison. Not only was the leg injured, but the bison also had multiple bite marks on its body. It could be seen that it was a lucky cow that narrowly escaped death. .

Qiao Yi didn't answer directly, Red and Alina also looked at him, as if they were just waiting for his order, and several lions began to divide the work and surround the bison.

The bison flicked its tail, and many flies around it landed on it and burrowed into the wound. It couldn't drive it away, so it could only use its tail to hit its body, trying to drive away some annoying flies.

"Okay." Qiao Yi didn't hesitate for too long. He asked, "How did you arrange the hunting method when you hunted bison?"

In fact, Reid's hunting methods are not much different from A Xing's, but this time the main force has changed from A Xing to Qiao Yi.

Elena first lay down in the grass, and after approaching the bison, she suddenly rushed out. The frightened bison fled wildly, and Elena chased after her, while Red surrounded her to prevent the bison from getting in. Chance of escape by entering the bushes.

The bison's leg was injured and she couldn't run fast. Elina quickly caught up with the bison. When she bit the bison, she was dragged away by the bison. She had to let go and gave up. She continued to chase and prepare for the next round attack.

And at this moment, Qiao Yi suddenly jumped out from the place where the bison escaped. His claws rested on the forehead of the bison, and his fangs pierced the back of the bison. The weight of the lion is very considerable, and he was already injured. The bison screamed.

The ground was full of dust, and the buffalo ran wildly, trying to throw Qiao Yi off, but Qiao Yi bit the opponent's back tightly and would not let go, and Reid from behind also rushed up, and both of them bit the buffalo's body.

The bison suddenly turned its head and let out a cry. Qiao Yi had been waiting for this moment. He let go of the tusks that were biting the bison's body, and turned to bite the bison's neck. The sharp fangs pierced the bison's neck. Blood poured into Qiao Yi's mouth immediately, he gritted his teeth and did not let go.

"Moo-"

After the buffalo let out a few painful screams, it fell to the ground with a bang, and its limbs trembled. Qiao Yi still didn't let go until he felt the struggle in his mouth weakened. When it didn't, he tentatively let go, and then fell down in pain. He took two breaths.

The place where he was kicked by the bison also hurt a little, he lowered his head and licked his paw, trying to relieve the pain a little.

The Doro brothers and sisters who were panting together were also exhausted. Reid lay on the ground, licked his belly kicked by the bison, and said, "I thought you had to fail a few times before hunting the bison. After all, this is nothing. Cub."

"Yeah." Qiao Yi stuck out his tongue and licked the blood on his face. The smell of fresh bison blood made him even hungrier. He lowered his head and licked the bison's wound, and then his fangs pierced through the bison's skin, tearing the flesh opened.

His hungry fur has become a little messy these days, and this meal is definitely a good meal for them.

The blood of the bison also attracted other predators. The group of hyenas yelled for friends and surrounded them not far away, as if they were waiting for the lions to eat their fill before going up to share a piece of meat. The jackals also planned to do so. .

The leopard lay on the tree and looked down, with one of its paws draped casually, lowered its head and licked the paw, while tearing off a piece of meat from the carcass of the prey that it had dragged up the tree as food reserves, and swallowed it.

If it was in the past, Qiao Yi didn't care, but now hunting a bison is too difficult, it is purely a matter of chance, and more importantly, they cannot be injured because of hunting, an injured male lion will definitely not be able to survive this dry season.

He dragged the leftover buffalo to the edge of the bush, and the lion cub ran after the buffalo, flicking the tip of its tail lightly.

The hyena let out a cry of dissatisfaction, and tried to move forward, but was slammed away by Reid, and then hid behind the stone, staring at it relentlessly.

At night, Qiao Yi was awakened by a rustling sound. He turned his head and saw four or five hyenas biting the flesh from the other side of the bison. After an afternoon, the blood of the bison basically dried up. The ground is covered with coagulated black blood stains.

The hyena's sharp teeth tear flesh and make a sound, because hyenas are not big in size, and they lie on the ground to eat food. If you are not careful, it is really hard to find them. They are almost immersed in eating hard, but they can't prevent the bison's body from shaking suddenly. , Several hyenas raised their heads one after another, and before they could react, the lion had already opened its mouth and bit them.

A hyena couldn't dodge enough to be bitten by Qiao Yi and threw it out. The brothers and sister Doro, who also woke up, immediately rushed up and bit the hyena that was stealing wild beef to pieces.

In the dark night, the night wind in the grassland was chilly, and the hyena screamed miserably. The strange sound made the lion feel annoyed. Qiao Yi turned his head and bit its neck, ending the scream of the hyena.

"Why are you so angry all of a sudden?" Elena didn't expect that Qiao Yi would come over and end the hyena directly. It asked, "Woke you up to sleep?"

"No." Slowly calmed down, Qiao Yi licked the blood on his face, and said in a low voice, "It's probably because the temperature is too irritating."

Because the grassland was scorched by the scorching sun during the day, the air circulated slightly at night, but the temperature difference between day and night was not small. Qiao Yi licked his paws and lay down next to the two little lions. He couldn't sleep, and looked around with his eyes open. , The big furry head lay on the ground.

For him, this was a rare moment of rest after entering this world.

The other lions also rushed to the river. Because of the migration, many lions left their original territory, and Moore found that the number of lions who left their territory this time was far more than he thought.

It felt a little uneasy, but Ah Xing didn't care about it.

"I don't remember so many lions migrating last year. It's obviously not just the northern migration passing through here." Moore also lay down next to A Xing to drink water, and he whispered: "Is it because of the arrival of the big dry season?"

"I don't know." Ah Xing stretched out his tongue and licked the water on his face, then licked Moore's hair, and then said: "If it is really a big dry season..."

It paused, and Moore followed suit with a sigh.

Animals know what the dry season means, which means water shortages and prey are scarce, but predators gather here, and the struggle is getting more and more intense, and conflicts will occur all the time. Everyone is trying to save their lives.

Axius and Eusta also drank water, Aide lay down beside the mud, and the baby elephant passed by a few lions, but he didn't feel much fear.

The elephant let out a cry, and the naughty little elephant walked up to the elephant unwillingly.

"Brother Sessen is not with us." Moore said, "They should be following the elephant herd on the other side, and they will probably meet again soon."

After Moore finished speaking, he found that A-Xing was sniffing the smell on the ground. He was taken aback for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It smells like Qiao Yi." After Ah Xing sniffed it, he seemed a little puzzled. He tilted his furry head, shook off his lion's mane, and said puzzledly: "But there are other smells. It is different from other smells." Lions together?"

After Moore heard the words, he also smelled it, but couldn't smell anything.

"It must have been here before, it seems that the direction is right." Ah Xing's voice was a little gloomy. It licked its paws. The blood of the prey on them had dried up. The sharp claws stepped on the mud, leaving huge claws Yin, it turned its head and walked to the side, and Moore followed behind Ah Xing.

"I said..." The swelling on Aed's face healed a little. It opened its lion pupils and asked, "Is there something wrong with their lions? They don't lie down to maintain their strength in the dry season, and they walk around every day. I've never been this tired."

"Why don't you ask me?" Ashus turned his gaze away, and it sneered, "I'm sorry."

"Hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." Aed growled at Axius angrily. Almost died here."

"Then kill Brother Sessen?" Aide asked.

"Of course." Asius bared his fangs and said darkly, "We not only want to kill Brother Sessen, but also Ah Xing. When we catch the male lion first, we will kill it. Hold the head in your mouth and show it to Ah Xing."

Eusta, who was resting next to him, opened his eyes, moved a little to the side calmly, and sighed indiscernibly.

It’s not that the three lions in the northern lions didn’t think about escaping, but after running for a short time, they met A Xing. It was almost the same scene as Qiao Yi’s first escape. I can only stop thinking about running away.

"Actually, even with the northern lions, they can't find Qiao Yi." Moore rested beside A Xing, and it whispered: "And so many lions walking together, it will make Qiao Yi aware of it in advance."

Ah Xing half closed his eyes, listening to Moore's words, but did not speak.

"If you find Qiao Yi...are you really going to kill it?" Moore made a detour and finally asked this question.

Ah Xing opened the eyes of the lion. It stretched out its tongue and licked its paws. It flicked its tail twice, hitting Moore's body, and then said: "Otherwise? I warned it before, if it runs away again... I'll kill him."

"You said the same thing when you killed the Kamel lion group and almost killed it, but it appeared in front of you, didn't you keep it for so long, and taught it to hunt and fight, for fear of starving to death Got it." Moore couldn't help laughing.

"Roar-"

Ah Xing turned his head and growled at Moore angrily. His voice was full of threats. The birds next to him fluttered and fled in fright. The resting lions in the north also opened their eyes and looked this way.

"If you really want to kill it." Moore hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Then it's normal for it not to want to come back. After all, who wants to die? Everyone wants to live, and they know that they will die when they come back. Not coming back."

Ah Xing stood up impatiently, flicked his tail twice, his breathing sounded slightly stagnant.

"And you let Thain spread the news, who knows what kind of mess the news will be." Moore lay on the ground, with his tail on the ground, and said helplessly: "Also, maybe if you find Qiao Yi, The news that it is going to be killed has also been spread, if it hears this, it will only run farther?"

"Moore." Ah Xing's golden lion eyes were full of chills. It stared at Moore, and Moore's tail curled up slightly. Moore obediently lay down on the ground and licked his paw lightly. Said: "Okay, I won't talk about it."

It turned its head to look at the location of the lions in the north, and the three lions almost listened to the movement here.

"If it comes back on its own initiative, I won't kill it." After a while, Moore almost fell asleep before hearing what Ah Xing said. He tried his best to open his sleepy eyes, and then moved his ears slightly. .

Occasionally, the cry of hyenas came from the grassland at night. This group of annoying things seemed to be tireless. No matter day or night, they could be seen everywhere. Hyenas would even kill lion cubs. No lion would like hyenas.

Even the few male lions with no cubs may have a natural dislike for hyenas.

There was a strange noise in the bushes, Ah Xing opened the lion's pupils and looked over, its sharp claws were tense at the same time, and it would rush over if there was any abnormality.

A wild rabbit came out of the bushes and jumped to the side. It seemed to be a little lost, and it was heading towards the herd of elephants in a daze. The elephants would not notice such a rabbit at all, and backed away when drinking water He took a step, and trampled the hare that had just jumped out of the bush with one foot.

Ah Xing glanced, and then his eyes fell on the bushes. He got up and walked this way, taking a slight sniff.

The smell here is a bit messy, but even so, it still smells a little familiar in these messy smells.

The moment Ah Xing smelled this smell, his mane exploded a little, and his tail raised a little bit stiffly. He lowered his head and sniffed again, his fangs were slowly exposed, and he raised his head to look at the surrounding bushes. Follow the smell.

But this smell is only found in this area, and the other places have been scattered, and it should not be just now. If it has been here all the time, it is impossible for Ah Xing not to notice.

It pushed aside a bush, and inside was a small pile of dead bodies, including hyenas, hares, and two jackals.

The carcasses of these animals have rotted, and many of them have been gnawed clean. After standing there for a while, Ah Xing turned around and returned to the resting place. Moved a little bit.

The sun rose the next day, and the first rays of the sun fell on the grassland. Qiao Yi licked his paws, got up and ate part of the bison, then licked off the blood on the fangs, and looked at the not far away hyena.

The hyena was obviously frightened. Seeing Qiao Yi looking over, they backed up a little.

"Do you want to continue on your way?" Alina asked.

"Yeah." Qiao Yi always felt that this place was not safe, so he said, "Go and drink some water, and then continue walking."

He didn't dare to stay any longer to prevent being caught up by Ah Xing. Only when he continued to distance himself did he heave a sigh of relief. According to the planned journey, Ah Xing should not be here yet, but not necessarily in two days.

He was actually right, but he underestimated Ah Xing's understanding of this grassland, and even more underestimated how paranoid this irascible lion was about capturing him back.
