102 Surrender
Without waiting for the lion to approach, Qiao Jinnian simply walked straight towards him, holding his mane with both hands. He was about the same height as her father, and his mouth was exactly at the same height as her forehead.
Yes, that is indeed an adult male lion, so he is most likely here to invade this lion group.
But, a single male lion invades this super lion pride?
Well, Qiao Jinnian felt that at least he was courageous.
So, let's see if the lion can defeat the 20 hyenas.
Even the lion father squinted his eyes with a calm expression on his face as he stood beside Qiao Jinnian, watching the famous scene of the lion fighting the hyena.
Last time, their group wiped out an entire pack of hyenas. The hyenas and wild dogs on this grassland probably all knew how powerful this super lion group was, and their own lion group rarely saw hyenas and wild dogs on the grassland.
If they see them, they will know when to flee.
This is called deterrence, letting the entire grassland know how domineering one is.
But the real lords of this grassland are only Ryan and Reiner, so any other lions can only be invaders.
This is why the hyenas had no scruples and started fighting with the lions directly.
Of course, food is plentiful during the rainy season, and hyenas generally won't take the initiative to cause trouble for lions. After all, there's no benefit. They can't just go there to have a bite of lion meat, right?
This is too unreasonable. So, there is only one possibility, that is, the lion may have accidentally entered the hyena's territory or eaten their cubs.
These are all Qiao Jinnian's speculations. After all, a pack of hyenas would not start besieging a lion for no reason.
The lion was running out of stamina. If he couldn't find a way to break through, he would be eaten by the hyenas today.
The lion group in his own group would not care about such things, because Ryan would directly drive away the invading male lion or bite it to death.
The male lion squats on the ground with his buttocks to protect his weakness. As long as he faces a group of hyenas, the hyenas will be temporarily helpless because the male lion still has huge claws to attack.
There were so many hyenas that they circled around the lion, staring at the lion's buttocks, patiently waiting for the lion to show the slightest flaw, so that they would pounce on him immediately.
The lion was panting heavily. He had consumed too much energy and needed to rest for a while to cool down.
At this time, the lion stared at the hyenas in front of him with his lion eyes. It was a threat from the king.
Qiao Jinnian suddenly had a feeling that perhaps the lion would win today, because he was not timid in the face of a strong opponent, nor did he have any intention of giving up.
Either die in battle or win, that's what's written in the eyes of this lion.
At this time, Qiao Jinnian had changed another viewing spot. She came to a place closer to the battlefield and climbed a tree. After all, it was safer to watch movies on a tree.
However, the lion father was too big and there was no way he could climb up the tall and straight tree.
So, the lion father had no choice but to roar at his cub in the tree: "Roar——"
Qiao Jinnian yelled at her father: "Awoo, awoo—"
Dad seemed to be asking her to stay away from the battlefield. After all, there were so many hyenas here and it didn't look safe at all.
But Qiao Jinnian insisted on coming down, and hyenas couldn't climb trees, so it was very safe here.
There was no way, Ryan couldn't leave, so he could only lie down under the tree to prevent the hyenas from defeating the lion and hurting his cubs in turn.
But maybe the lion father was thinking too much. The news that the super lion group wiped out the hyena group last year must have been spread throughout the territory by vultures. Which hyena group would dare to attack the members of this lion group?
The hyena pack and the lion confronted each other for about half an hour. The lion was resting the whole time, squatting on the ground, his chest heaving violently, and his body trying its best to dissipate heat, so the lion didn't want to fight at all.
But the hyena pack has lost its patience, and the hyena queen seems to want to attack by force.
"Hahahaha——" The hyenas made a very noisy sound, a sound unique to hyenas.
As the roars rang out, the hyenas rushed towards the lion's back and began to bite his back.
The lion also noticed that the hyena queen had issued a new order. With a sharp look in his eyes, he jumped up in an instant, turned around, raised his claws, and slapped the hyena closest to him twice.
"Roar--" With a huge roar, the lion exerted his greatest strength, his momentum was like a rainbow, and his mane flew in the wind, so domineering.
The lion's claws were so powerful that the hyena flew two meters away in an instant, and when it fell, it knocked its companion away.
"Ahhhhh——" The hyenas howled miserably in an instant.
At this moment, the hyena pack paused briefly for three seconds, but the next second, under the queen's order, the hyena pack continued to attack the lion's back spine.
This was a fierce battle, and no one knew what deep hatred the two sides had.
Even Ryan couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
Wait, the lion father seemed to have recognized the male lion, probably because of the huge roar that the male lion just made.
So, Qiao Jinnian watched as his lion father actually walked straight towards the hyena pack.
Qiao Jinnian: "..." No, Dad, do you want to yell first? Or call your family members over to scare them away?
Ryan is definitely a dominant presence in this territory. So, as the facts show, the local territorial lions have already appeared, so how far away are the lion groups?
Even if there were no lion group, these two majestic lions would face more than 20 hyenas. The moment the hyena queen saw Ryan coming, she immediately fled with her tribe...
Qiao Jinnian: “…” Tsk, I worried for nothing.
Indeed, the lion father’s record last year is still circulating on this grassland. Is the hyena group crazy, or do they want to be wiped out?
After being rescued by Dad, the lion took a few deep breaths on the spot, and then trotted towards Dad with tired steps.
When two male lions met, they rubbed their heads against each other as a sign of politeness.
Although she couldn't quite tell what the lion looked like, because she was with her father almost every day, she knew everyone her father knew.
Moreover, this male lion looks quite majestic and powerful, with a very long mane, black in the front and brown in the back. It seems to be one of the four male lions during the dry season.
But why did he run to this grassland?
Did the four brothers break up?
The two lions got close to each other for a while. In order to express his respect for the territorial lion and to show that he was not here to invade, the lion lowered his head and lay in front of Ryan.
This means that he is not here to invade, but what is his purpose?
Seeing that there was no danger, Qiao Jinnian climbed down from the tree, ran over, stood beside his father, and looked at the lion in front of him.
"Roar--" the lion growled at his father.
The lion father narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction where the hyenas were running, as if he was thinking. After a moment, he finally made a decision.
The two lions rubbed their manes against each other again. The father walked over and took the initiative to stick close to the other lion, even bumping his forehead against the other lion's mane. He bumped into the other lion, turned around, and bumped into the other lion again.
Qiao Jinnian couldn’t understand why these two lions suddenly became so close?
What is Dad doing?
Soon, she understood, because her father was walking in front with big strides, and the lion was two meters behind, following her father's pace and walking towards his own lion group.
Qiao Jinnian also ran forward with her father, not knowing what they were up to.
Then, the father growled a few words to all the members of the pride, and they all looked at the lion.
Several adult lions came forward and rubbed against the male lion, exchanging scents and identifying each other's unique smells.
After that, the male lion walked up to the sub-adults and talked to them. They rubbed their heads against each other to show their friendship.
Judging from the situation, has this lion successfully joined his own lion group?
Qiao Jinnian: "..." No, isn't my old father a little too casual?
Anyway, it looks like Dad has made up his mind.
After meeting and exchanging scents with every lion, the male lion squinted his eyes, blinked, and looked at her with his golden pupils.
Because she was a strange two-legged beast. Although she had a strong smell of a lion, the lion was not blind and could naturally know that the two-legged beast was not a lion. So he seemed to be thinking about how to communicate with Qiao Jinnian.
Without waiting for the lion to get close, Qiao Jinnian simply walked straight towards him, holding his mane with both hands. He was about the same height as her father, and his mouth was exactly the same height as her forehead.
I grabbed his mane and rubbed it, then put my forehead against his, and it was as if both parties had met each other.
The lion opposite: "..."
He may have never experienced having his mane stroked by other animals. His mouth was wide open and he didn't know how to react for a moment.
No one knows how old this lion is, but he must be much younger than Dad. He has a thick mane, a strong body, and is very friendly. So this is probably why Dad is willing to accept him.
Before, when their lion group was in the southwestern desert area, they had a good relationship with the four male lions. Now the alliance of the four male lions seems to have collapsed, and the four brothers have parted ways.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is only one lioness in that lion group, so the four brothers will inevitably need to decide who has priority, and conflicts will definitely arise, it is just a matter of time.
It was not obvious during the dry season, but with the arrival of the rainy season, it was a good time for breeding. Perhaps the king lion among the four male lions automatically got priority, so the other three male lions would definitely be dissatisfied. This male lion probably thought that there were many females in his own lion group, so he decided to come and pursue the females.
Well, that should be the case.
The cubs in my pride are about to turn three, and there are indeed a lot of young girls.
Qiao Jinnian: “…” Ha, why do I suddenly feel that this lion is a little cunning?
No matter what, this male lion is willing to submit to his father and recognize his father as the king of the lion group. This means that after his father abdicates, he and Xiaobai will become the new territorial lions.
Dad is the most cunning one. He found a successor for himself without even starting a war. He is much more cunning than those lion kings who were forced to abdicate!
Qiao Jinnian sighed. Whose lion king is still in his prime and already thinking about retirement?!
