11 Invitation

◎Is Ryan going to marry into the family?◎

With the help of Ryan, a man with rich hunting experience, and the addition of this male lion, the river lions looked more confident than the last time they hunted buffalo when they surrounded this behemoth that was over 7 meters tall.

This time, it was the lioness leader who bit the giraffe's buttocks again. The pain instantly made the giraffe speed up and start running wildly, trying to run into the bushes where Qiao Jinnian was hiding. Once in the bushes, the lions would not be able to run away, making hunting more difficult.

This created a lot of resistance for the other four lionesses, and all of them, including Ryan, chased the giraffe relentlessly.

Ryan was faster, and when he reached the side and kept the same speed as the giraffe, he pounced and bit the front legs that were easier to bite, holding on tightly, and used his weight of several hundred pounds to hang on the giraffe, slowing down its speed.

The other four lionesses followed suit, each hanging onto the giraffe's body.

The huge creature suddenly had six lions growing on its body, making it almost unable to move. It had at least six wounds on its body, especially the one behind its buttocks, which was bleeding profusely, and the blood was all over the face of the lioness leader.

Ryan was indeed a lion, and he had been wandering for a long time, so he had rich hunting experience. When the giraffe finally fell to the ground, he rolled sideways and landed at the base of the giraffe's neck, biting its neck. There was determination in his eyes, and he held on tightly until he was sure that the giraffe was completely dead and lying motionless on the ground. Only then did he let go of his mouth full of blood and gasped for breath.

The lions succeeded in cooperating for the first time. Each lion looked very happy. They lay on the huge prey, breathing heavily, and raised their tails to show their good mood.

Ryan was very conscious and did not compete with the river lions for the order of eating. Instead, he walked a little further away and waited for them to eat first. After all, this was their territory and he did not want to compete with them for territory.

Because the prey was so big, everyone decided to eat it where they were. After all, it was not convenient to drag it over, so they decided to wait until they had all eaten.

There are so many lions here, and no blind animals come to snatch food.

The leader began to eat with big mouthfuls, and the other lionesses formed a circle, looking around vigilantly, guarding their food.

After the leader finished his meal, the other lionesses rushed over, each occupying a place and started eating. The leader then took the initiative to step forward and take over the task of taking care of the cubs, and the lioness who was taking care of the cubs came over to eat.

This time, Ryan still waited aside and did not compete with the lioness for food. It seemed that he wanted to wait until all the lions, including the cubs, had finished their meal before he went to eat. After all, the giraffe was too big, and even if everyone was very full, they could not eat so much.

Ryan squatted on the edge of the big rock the whole time, which was between the food and Qiao Jinnian, with his hind legs on the ground. His lion face was calm. Sometimes he squinted at the group of lionesses, and sometimes he looked calmly at the little lions and the leader. He was not in a hurry to eat, and no one knew what he was thinking.

All of this was seen by the lioness leader.

In the lion's world, male lions are often the first to eat. Even if male lions rarely hunt, when the female lions have prepared a meal, the male lions are the first to eat. This is mainly because male lions must be full and maintain sufficient physical strength at all times to protect their territory and the safety of their cubs when stray male lions invade.

Once the territory is lost, those poor cubs will be bitten to death, leaving no one alive.

And this lion was not only in no hurry to eat, but was willing to wait until all the lions had finished eating before eating his own meal. He even had a cub with him. Are there other lions with cubs alone?

All this seemed very strange to the lioness leader, as it was very rare for a male lion to do so in the lion world.

Qiao Jinnian kept watching Ryan sitting there from behind, and also observed the leader with a thoughtful look in her eyes, and was still guessing what she was thinking.

Ryan actually waited until the sub-adults and little lions were full before he walked over and started eating the meat in big mouthfuls.

When he was finally full, he was very smart this time. Without waiting for the lionesses to roar at him, he quickly ran behind the rock to find Qiao Jinnian and prepared to run away.

However, when they were about to slip away, the lioness leader suddenly tilted her head and growled at him. There was no hostility in her voice, and it even sounded gentle.

Ryan hesitated for a moment, then carried Qiao Jinnian to the lion group.

Then, just like when the lions in the valley were feeding on the girl, one of the lions, who had eaten its fill, actually lay down on the grass and let her drink the milk.

Of course, before she could even drink milk, several little lions came staggering over to take up a good position to drink milk.

Qiao Jinnian was not polite either. After all, she didn't want to be a malnourished child. Ever since Scarface drove her away last time, she hadn't had milk for a long time. She could only eat some fruits and breadfruit every day, which made her stomach sour and she was at a loss.

No matter what, milk is nutritious. This lioness should have enough meat to eat and her body looks particularly strong.

While drinking milk in big gulps, Qiao Jinnian was distracted by thinking that this lion group was really powerful. Under the leadership of the lioness leader, they could guard such a large territory and their hunting skills were also very strong. What should she do? She now admired this lioness leader so much.

After having enough milk, Qiao Jinnian was very happy. Finally, she didn’t have to eat just fruits today.

Later, the leader touched foreheads with Ryan, identified each other's smells, and even rubbed each other intimately.

Looking at the two lions, Qiao Jinnian suspected that she would have another mother. Was Ryan going to stay in this lion group?

Are they going to join the river lion pride in the future, and is Ryan going to marry into the family?

Actually, this is a good thing. Otherwise, Ryan would always be wandering around, which would be quite dangerous.

Just when she thought she could sleep in the river lions' territory tonight, Ryan carried her away without any reluctance and returned to the edge of the territory, saying that he would not join the river lions.

When Qiao Jinnian turned around, she saw the leader looking at her with a complicated look.

For some reason, she felt a little uneasy. Could it be that the leader thought it was because of him that Ryan didn't want to join the lion group?

Perhaps Ryan is too proud and doesn't want to be under the leadership of the female lions. He is a single lion and can go wherever he wants. As long as he is well fed, he doesn't have to worry about anything. He doesn't even have to raise children for others. If it weren't for her burden, Ryan's life would have been so much better. Why did he blame her?

What does it have to do with her?

Wait, could it really be related to her?

Qiao Jinnian was a little at a loss, but she couldn't understand why Ryan was unwilling to join the lion group.

Although the two parties did not merge, Ryan brought her over to suck her milk the next day.

The lionesses of the river pride were no longer hostile to them, but they were not very enthusiastic either.

Qiao Jinnian knew when to stop, finished drinking the milk, and left with Ryan.

After drinking the lioness's milk many times during this period, Qiao Jinnian felt that she had gained some weight recently, which was healthier than before when she only ate fruits, but this would not last long.

Seeing Ryan lying by the river and sleeping, Qiao Jinnian went to the river and wanted to look at himself in the river to see what he looked like and how his teeth were growing.

However, as soon as she approached the river, Ryan quickly got up, came over and squeezed next to her, fearing that she would be attacked by a crocodile.

However, his body was so big that it completely blocked the water surface in front of her and she could not see anything.

Qiao Jinnian sighed, knowing that he meant well. She decided not to look in the mirror and instead looked at her own tattered hospital gown, which was scratched by grass and had countless small holes in it. It was simply too disgusting to look at.

If she were in human society now, she would definitely be a standard beggar, a beggar wearing a hospital gown.

He couldn't find suitable materials for clothes, and he couldn't develop new food. For a moment, Qiao Jinnian doubted whether he could survive.

With her chin supported, she lay on Ryan, looking at the beams of light shining through the gaps in the leaves, wondering when she would be able to walk again. Did she have to stay next to this lion group and suckle their milk every day?

While I was thinking about these random things, some familiar sounds came from the trees in the distance, "Wow, wow wow——" like the shouting of a baboon.

Qiao Jinnian looked up and really saw a group of baboons running towards the woods.

There was only one man and one lion on their side. Qiao Jinnian suddenly became a little nervous. Did these baboons want to attack them?

However, when she turned around, she found that Ryan was still sleeping soundly without even opening his eyes, so she guessed that these baboons would not cause any harm to him.

Animals have a strong sense of danger. Generally, a group of baboons will not take the initiative to besiege large predators. They will just steal the predators' cubs and kill them in the cradle, thus reducing the number of natural enemies in advance.

Ryan was not worried, and Qiao Jinnian was not worried either. They just wanted to see what these baboons were going to do.

The leader who was running in front flipped over a branch and jumped in front of her.

Qiao Jinnian was stunned. Was she going to be captured by baboons again today? No way, couldn't they see that there was a full-grown male lion lying here? This was too blatant, wasn't it?

But the next second, the leader walked over cautiously and handed over two pointed stones.

Qiao Jinnian looked at the stone in his hand curiously. The stone was pitch black and nothing special, but it looked extremely sharp.

It can be used as a knife. Qiao Jinnian thought he was giving her a knife, but why?

Seeing that she had been looking for a long time without understanding what was going on, the baboon leader gestured at her and looked towards the group of ostriches in the distance, making "wa wah wah" sounds, but it was unclear what he wanted to express.

Seeing him looking at the group of ostriches, Qiao Jinnian finally realized that this group of baboons was the same one from the grassland in the south, not from the grassland here. They were actually old acquaintances, which made her worry for a long time.

Alas, it's because she can't distinguish the appearance of animals at all. Other animals rely on smell, but she can't smell the difference between smells at all.

He was very anxious, and Qiao Jinnian was also anxious.

He gestured too hard, and the two sharp stones made a "clang clang clang" sound, and then small sparks appeared between the stones. It was not obvious, but Qiao Jinnian saw it clearly.

Is this flint?
