Lions Major League

"Dad." Waking up early in the morning, Xiao Scar and Xiao Wei spread out their stomachs in Qiao Yi's arms, revealing their soft and downy abdomen, while licking their paws and saying, "Dad, lick your fur." .”

The little lion turned his head, and his little tongue liked to lick Qiao Yi's paw.

Ah Xing was not around, it returned to the place where it slept before, as if it was beaten by a tail last night, it was just Qiao Yi's illusion.

"Shall we go drink some water together?" As if nothing happened, Moore got up and walked to Qiao Yi's side, lay down next to Qiao Yi, gently rubbed against him and said, "Go and drink some water, we have to continue walking later."

There is not much water here, and it won't last for a few days. The entire elephant herd is still migrating. This is just the beginning of the dry season, and it will only get harder as you go further.

After Qiao Yi responded, he followed Moore to the water. The two male lions walked together, and the animals by the water tried to stay away from them. When Qiao Yi lowered his head to drink water, a small elephant looked at him curiously. But dare not go forward.

The elephant stopped the baby elephant with its trunk to prevent the naughty baby elephant from provoking the two male lions.

On the savannah, it is not uncommon for lions to hunt young elephants to satisfy their hunger.

A leopard ran past and made a slight movement, but the bison and other animals subconsciously looked at the two male lions who were still drinking water. After Qiao Yi rolled up the water with his tongue and sent it to his mouth, Shaking his mane again, he looked at the withered grass and the few remaining water sources, and was a little worried about where the next water source would be.

When Qiao Yi and Moore went back, they saw that A Xing was still in place. He hadn't moved his nest or even moved all morning. He just looked at them indifferently, and didn't even shake his tail.

Moore sighed helplessly: "Do you understand? Yesterday you asked me why Ah Xing didn't have a pride of lionesses. This is the answer."

With a character like Ah Xing, how could he have a pride of lionesses!Which lioness pride can take it?It has only one relationship with the lioness group, that is, territorial competitors, fighting with the same kind, with you and without me, you will live and die!

Hearing this, Qiao Yi also felt deeply worried, and looked at A Xing unconsciously with a hint of helplessness.

Ah Xing's ears twitched slightly, stuck out his tongue and licked his paw, then turned his head, ignoring Moore and Qiao Yi.

Qiao Yi was going to find an antelope or wild deer to eat, but he saw a little bison standing there, as if alone, but when Qiao Yi walked this way, the little bison didn't move either. No movement, just standing there blankly, the cows next to him seemed to have noticed this side and looked over.

"Don't even try to hunt this bison." Ah Xing followed him at some point. It was huge, but surprisingly, its paws stepped on the grass stalks, making almost no sound. Therefore, when it was hunting, as long as it wanted to, The distance between the prey and the prey can be shortened to the greatest extent, so that the opponent cannot detect it, so that it can kill with one blow and reduce physical exertion.

"Why?" Qiao Yi didn't understand. The buffalo didn't look big, so it should be easier to catch.

Hearing this, Ah Xing glanced at Qiao Yi, and then sneered: "Not all prey can be caught directly. The dangers of the dry season are not only drought, lack of water, and less food, but also various other dangers. Much scarier than you can imagine."

Faced with A Xing's reminder, Qiao Yi knew that what it said was reasonable, but he really couldn't see anything wrong with the bison.

"If you don't believe me, just wait and see." Ah Xing lay beside Qiao Yi, wagging his tail slightly, and said, "Come here."

Qiao Yi had no choice but to lie down next to Ah Xing, feeling the familiar feeling of the tail slapping her body, and made sure that last night was definitely not an illusion.

The little buffalo didn't move at first, but suddenly it started to stand in place and twitched, its tail flicked wildly, its limbs seemed to be fixed in place, even though it was so uncomfortable, it didn't move, it just twitched. .

"Wait a little longer." Ah Xing said suddenly.

Sure enough, after a while, the little buffalo fell to the ground with stiff limbs, lying on the ground motionless, his limbs began to struggle and twitch, and after a while, there was no movement at all.

The little bison just died in front of Qiao Yi and them.

"No matter what the prey is, except for the very stupid ones, most of them will be very alert, especially for us lions, they are very afraid of us." Ah Xing's voice was a little low, it licked its paw, and said: "I already feel it Our approaching and not fleeing is already abnormal, and it is not eating grass, it is just in a daze."

"It was bitten to death by a snake." Qiao Yi glanced at the little bison, and probably knew the cause of the bison's death.

Ah Xing was dissatisfied with Qiao Yi's direct disclosure of the answer, so he gave his tail a little force twice, and Qiao Yi wanted to move to the side. Ah Xing immediately realized it and lowered his tail again. It said: "Then you still wanted to catch it before." ? You are not afraid of death, not even death, but you are afraid of staying by my side?"

Qiao Yi really felt wronged at this point, of course he would not hunt and kill a bison that had been poisoned by snakes, and it seems that the poison is not light, but his previous knowledge of this came from documentaries, books or some limited field experience , I haven't really been in touch with the whole process of a bison being bitten by a poisonous snake. Even if I have seen relevant records elsewhere, it is impossible to immediately react to such a situation when I see it the first time.

Studying nature as a human being and hunting as a lion are completely different. In short, he could see the cause of the bison's death, but not at first glance.

But obviously Ah Xing would not believe this.

Only in the evening, Qiao Yi discovered that Ah Xing had returned with a young bison in its mouth. It was still a juvenile bison, not too big. It threw the prey in front of Qiao Yi, and the blood splashed on Qiao Yi's face. , before he had time to dodge, the two lion cubs were splashed by the blood sprayed from the neck of the little buffalo, and after shaking their ears twice, they were a little dazed.

"I'm not going to hunt for you, it's just that your paws are injured and you walk too slowly. Get well soon. I don't have the patience to wait for you to heal before leaving." Ah Xing stuck out his tongue and licked his face. His face was also stained with blood, and his fangs looked even more ferocious.

Qiao Yi looked at Ah Xing and sighed, "Actually, the wound on the paw..." It's almost healed.

Before he could say the next five words, Ah Xing turned around and left. It swung its tail like a steel whip, and the withered grass next to it swayed from side to side, making a rustling sound. no.

Qiao Yi didn't think of Ah Xing's character before, but now the more he looked at it, the more he felt familiar. He got up and picked up the bison, walked to Ah Xing who was lying on the ground, put the bison in front of it, and tentatively Rubbed each other lightly, then lay down on the side.

The tip of Ah Xing's tail shook slightly, but his body didn't move at all.

Qiao Yi has been paying attention to A Xing's tail, and seeing that the other's tail reacted, he licked his paw lightly, pushed the bison in front of A Xing, and he lay down on the ground and asked, "Don't you want to eat?"

Two male lions were lying face to face, one half-lying and turned its head to look into the distance, the other was lying on the ground, looking at the opposite male lion.

Moore saw this when he came back. It consciously took the prey and went to the side to eat it. After eating, the two lions were still confronting each other. Moore had to admire the patience of these two lions.

"Don't you want to eat?" Qiao Yi asked again, and he sighed in a low voice: "Then I'll go first."

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Ah Xing's tail flicking violently from side to side a few times, and then continued: "Xiao Scar and Xiaowei haven't eaten yet, so I'll go and have a look at them first, there's no way, you don't want to eat, I can't force you either."

In fact, Qiao Yi's forelimbs were almost healed, at least he could walk and trot without any problem, but he was limping, with his tail drooping and his ears slightly raised, looking a little sad.

Ah Xing turned his head to look at Qiao Yi, and it took a while to tilt his head. It stopped Qiao Yi with a stiff voice, and said, "Is your paw really thinking about it? Come here."

Qiao Yi stood where he was, turned around and looked at Ah Xing.

The golden-maned lion glanced at Qiao Yi's slightly raised forelegs, the wound was clearly visible on it, a trace of annoyance flashed in its eyes, then picked up the bison and walked a few steps towards Qiao Yi, using its fangs to The flesh was torn apart, he took a few casual bites and swallowed, then pushed the little buffalo in front of Qiao Yi, it said: "You eat, I'll watch you eat."

The trick of "advancing through retreat" has been tried and tested here at A Xing. Whether it was a young lion or it has grown into the golden-maned lion it is now, its personality itself has not changed much.

Qiao Yi remembered that the little lion would get angry with him in the past, and sometimes the quarrel lasted for a long time. The little lion was very angry, and sometimes he could make himself angry so that his belly swelled up a little, and no one would talk to him, Qiao Yi There was no way, one time when feeding the little lion, the little lion resisted violently, its paws accidentally hooked Qiao Yi's forearm, and there was blood on it.

The little lion immediately looked at Qiao Yi stiffly. He didn't dare to move, and his ears didn't move. He kept looking at the injured place of Qiao Yi. Then he whimpered softly, and ate honestly. They all stick to Qiao Yi's side, but carefully avoid Qiao Yi's wounds.

Later, every time the little lion refused to eat, Qiao Yi deliberately said "Oh, it hurts", showing a painful look, and the little lion immediately became more obedient. The little lion ate the food, which is considered to have achieved his goal.

Qiao Yi lowered his head and gnawed on the young bison. The taste of the young bison was different from that of the adult big bison. The meat was more tender, and the flesh was easily torn off with his sharp teeth. The face and paws were stained with the blood of the young bison. He fixed the little bison's body with his paws, and when he was eating, he suddenly felt some soreness in his forelimbs, and when he turned his head, he saw Ah Xing licking its wounds.

"Don't you think that the me now is a little different from the me before?" Qiao Yi asked suddenly.

"En." Ah Xing responded, and then said: "You have a mane, and you look much better."

Qiao Yi: ...

These words are really familiar, do all lions in the world have the same aesthetics?

Qiao Yi thought that when he was a human being, he had a good appearance and had a good relationship with his colleagues, but he didn't expect that in the eyes of the lion, he sighed helplessly.

"Anyway, no matter what you look like, you have this breath, and my sense of smell is not wrong." Speaking of this, Ah Xing was inexplicably angry, and it stopped licking Qiao Yi's wounds, and said coldly: "You will get hurt It was because you ran away, and the reason why you ran away was because you refused to have me...you can lick your wounds yourself."

It licked its paws on its own, then turned its back to Qiao Yi, and lay down on its own.

Qiao Yi felt that he couldn't explain the difference between "release life" and "discard", and this matter would always be between himself and A Xing.

But it takes a lion to understand "release", understand that different species cannot live together, understand that being a male lion should belong to the prairie, understand that he was only a rescuer at that time, and understand that what he rescued was not only its little lion, but also his own. other lions, even other animals...

These problems came one after another, and Qiao Yi suddenly felt a headache, and A Xing was stubborn, and there was basically no room for change if he decided on one thing.

For several days in a row, Ah Xing was very indifferent, and he was not close to Qiao Yi, but he was always sandwiched between Qiao Yi and Moore. Moore had to move a little bit for him, and finally sighed: "Forget it, You sleep here, I'll sleep somewhere else."

Then it got up and walked around to the other side of Qiao Yi, sandwiching Qiao Yi in the middle to sleep.

Qiao Yi: ...

It's damn familiar.

The hyena's cry was faintly heard in the distance, and the strange cry was especially obvious in the silent grassland night. Ah Xing raised his head slightly to look into the distance, but it didn't move. He waited until the hyena stopped, and Ah Xing That's when I half closed my eyes.

Qiao Yi noticed that it seemed to be resting, but in fact it was always on alert.

Because Qiao Yi was caught in the middle of the sleep this time, Ah Xing was very close to Qiao Yi, so close that as long as Qiao Yi moved closer to Ah Xing, he could just see its neck under the lion's mane.

Qiao Yi thought for a while, and turned his body half sideways, so that his back was facing Moore, and his abdomen was faintly close to Ah Xing. He seemed to be sleeping soundly. Ah Xing noticed Qiao Yi's movement, so he just glanced at it. Seeing that he was still resting with his eyes closed, he didn't move, and continued to half-close his eyes, a little vigilant.

Qiao Yi opened his eyes slightly, and under the moonlight, he noticed the familiar wound under Axing's lion's mane, but the wound was not the one Qiao Yi was familiar with, so his complexion changed slightly.

On Ah Xing's neck, the hideous wound had healed, and the flesh and blood that had been turned out had also healed, and it could be vaguely seen how serious the wound was at the beginning, just below its neck, almost torn.

This is not the wound Qiao Yi had when he was released. Qiao Yi clearly remembered that the little lion's wound had already been stitched up. After such a long time, it couldn't have looked so ferocious.

Otherwise, Ah Xing is not a little lion.

Otherwise, after A Xing was released, he fell into a near-death situation again, even more serious than when he was rescued.

"Have you finished reading?" Ah Xing said suddenly.

Qiao Yi was taken aback, then opened his eyes subconsciously, he looked at Ah Xing, and the other party looked down at Qiao Yi, after a while, Ah Xing shook the lion's mane and said: "If you want to see my lion's mane, just say it Now, it’s not that I really don’t want to show you.”

Saying that, it leaned over and rubbed against Qiao Yi, then looked at Qiao Yi's belly which was pressing against his body, and stretched out its tongue to gently lick Qiao Yi's body.

After Qiao Yi was exposed, he felt a little embarrassed and wanted to get up and change his position, but Moore and A Xing locked his position so tightly that he couldn't remember it, and the movement woke Moore up.

Moore took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and then said: "I changed positions, I surrendered, you don't need to sleep, but I want to sleep... Sigh."

It moved to the side twice, and Qiao Yi relaxed a lot on this side, and immediately got up and lay down on the other side, a little further away from Ah Xing.

Ah Xing looked at Qiao Yi with some doubts, not understanding why the other party clearly wanted to see his lion's mane, why he licked it and showed it to him, but it moved away again.

Seeing that Ah Xing hadn't come over, Qiao Yi was relieved, remembering that Ah Xing rubbed against him when he licked his hair, he could only sigh, Ah Xing has really grown up... he is four years old, usually like Ah Xing A powerful male lion should have a lioness pride.

After all, the little lion had already reacted.

This night was a bit complicated and long for Qiao Yi. When he got up in the morning, he was ready to go. The direction of the elephants seemed to be a little different from last year. Ah Xing stood on the slope and thought for a while, then immediately walked in another direction , super-shortcut as soon as possible.

But not long after the three lions walked, they heard the roar of the lions, and their footsteps paused slightly. Moore turned to look at A Xing and asked, "Is it Saison?"

The roar was very similar to Saison, but it was a little hoarse, so that Moore was a little uncertain.

It sounds like they are fighting something, and there is basically no territorial dispute here. This is still on the way of migration, and most male lions are unwilling to have any fierce conflicts at this time.

Moore's first reaction was that Sessen met the one-eyed lion. Apparently, Ah Xing thought so too. It even showed its fangs faintly, and immediately rushed towards the place where Sessen was roaring.

Seeing this, Qiao Yi immediately followed.

Several male lions are biting each other. To be precise, three adult male lions are besieging Saisen. Saisen looks very distressed. His mane is covered with blood. I don't know if it is his own or someone else's. of lions.

But it has many wounds, large and small, among which the abdomen is still bleeding, and the wounds on its hind legs are bloody and fleshy. It is unknown how many battles it has experienced.

"Saisen, are you crazy?" A male lion that was fighting with it was also seriously injured. Panting, it backed away slowly, and said through gritted teeth, "I didn't offend you, let alone saw your brother. ! I was just passing there!"

"I smell you." Sesen stuck out his tongue and licked the blood on the fangs, blood was faintly shining in its lion pupils, and the whole lion looked a little desperately mad: "I don't care if you see it or not." To my brother, I was there... I smelled you."

It guarded the place where Thain disappeared, and there were some residual breaths nearby. It smelled some strange lions.

"We are really just passing by! Who is crazy and wants to kill your brother!" The other male lion said a little violently: "It's none of our business whether your brother is dead or not! Even if he dies, we didn't kill him, you come..."

"Hull—" a lion beside him immediately roared, "Back!"

But after it finished speaking, Sesen pounced on it, his movements were extremely patrolling, it was no longer looking for anyone, it was purely for hunting, and it really would rather kill by mistake than let it go.

Sion is dead, it can't find Sion's body, Sison is almost going crazy.

"Roar——" The violent male lion was thrown to the ground by Saisen. It struggled violently and tried to escape, but it was obviously not Saison's opponent at all, even though it turned its head and bit Saisen. But Sesen still didn't hide, his fangs went straight to its back, and he bit down suddenly, two blood holes pierced through the back of this male lion impressively.

The bones were shattered, and the male lion was severely injured by Saisen's forceful bite.

The lion roared in pain.

"Saisen!" The other two male lions rushed over and tried to rescue him, but Saisen let out a low growl. He lowered his body, his face was ferocious, and his blood-stained face seemed to be almost crazy. The two male lions were a little scared , the movement was a little slower.

In such battles, fear often means one step closer to death.

"Come on." Sesen's voice seemed to be dripping with blood, and he said word by word: "Let's die together."
