31 Fierce Eagle
◎Oh my god, what kind of bird of prey is this!◎
Ryan rushed towards Scarface who was 50 meters away from him and handed the golden retriever to Reiner.
Reiner is also a ruthless one. Although he doesn't have his father's skills, he is also a lion who has wandered on the grassland. He is not afraid and just goes straight up and slaps the golden retriever.
It was one on one, and it seemed especially fair, so Qiao Jinnian, Silverback, and Cloak chose the highest place to hide. It was safer from a high place, so they could observe the scene better.
Ryan ran up to Scarface, raised his front paw, and grabbed Scarface's face with one claw, giving him a big punch. Blood came out instantly.
This time he was going to be ruthless, unlike the last fight where Ryan was not in the right, so he did not resort to any brutal force. This time it was obviously because his territory was invaded, the nature of the attack was different, so he looked particularly ferocious.
Scarface was not to be outdone. With blood all over his face, he stretched out his two front paws and started to attack left and right.
However, judging from their body sizes, the two lions were not at the same level at all. Ryan's weight completely suppressed Scarface. He slapped Scarface's shoulder with his left paw and slapped him to the grass. Without waiting for Scarface to react, he opened his big mouth and bit the other's face.
Everything happened so fast that the long mane on Ryan's face flew up with the violent movement, making him look very majestic.
The two lions fought for several more rounds, but in the end Scarface's strength was no match for Ryan's, and he was knocked down to the grass by the huge palm that attacked again, with his four legs facing the air. Ryan was not polite at all and bit Scarface's front paw directly. Scarface roared in pain and struggled constantly, trying to throw Ryan off him.
But when Ryan was hunting, he showed a reckless fighting style, and he would not let go until the opponent's front paws were completely bitten off.
Of course, he didn't want to kill Scarface directly, but just bit off his front paw.
However, for the lion, this is equivalent to killing him, because a disabled lion cannot hunt successfully, will be abandoned by its allies, and will eventually die alone.
So, Ryan had already killed Scarface, and Scarface knew this very well. He looked sad and angry, and lay on the ground and started roaring.
Ryan didn't want to hear the other party's roar, so he bit off his claws and quickly evacuated the scene, leaving Reiner to continue dealing with the golden retriever.
Ryan didn't seem to intend to help Reiner. He was fighting alone, and he probably wanted to test Reiner's strength.
Although they are father and son, there is no such thing as father-son love in the lion world. If Reiner can't even beat a lion that is a size smaller than him, then what's the point of forming an alliance?
Fortunately, Reiner lived up to expectations and did not seem to be at a disadvantage at the moment. Seeing that his father had finished the fight, he was even more motivated and became more courageous as the battle went on.
All this made Qiao Jinnian nervous, afraid that Reiner would get hurt. She even thought that if Reiner was injured, she could set his bones with branches. If Ryan refused to raise Reiner, she could use traps to hunt and wait until Reiner recovered.
Qiao Jinnian knew that these were tests that all male lions had to undergo, and that it was all very cruel, but she was a human being and could not bear to see her lion brother fall into danger. Once the spearhead was not right, she would definitely disrupt the battle. For example, she would let Silverback bite the opponent. Silverback was never afraid of these large lions.
In the end, perhaps because the golden retriever was too old and unable to do the job, he was still bitten to the ground by Reiner. But Reiner did not let him become disabled, because the golden retriever gave in, lay on the grass, and showed a gesture of submission.
The naive lion brother let the golden retriever go. The golden retriever was released and ran away without even looking at the scarred man lying on the ground.
The lions were tired from fighting, so they lay down to rest.
Scarface was left alone on the grass. After resting, he tried to stand up and limped away into the distance.
Behind him, there was a group of spotted hyenas waiting for him to fall at any time. These hyenas were waiting for him to die so that they could eat his meat at any time.
Scarface turned around. The pride of a lion would not allow him to fall before the hyenas, so he roared at the hyenas behind him: "Roar--"
The hyenas were frightened and turned away in a hurry. However, this was only a brief departure. After a while, they gathered behind Scarface again.
Not only hyenas, but also vultures and jackals, are waiting for Scarface to die, or if he is not dead but extremely weak, they can go up and eat his meat. This is the meat of a male lion, enough for several meals.
This is the law of nature, the strong prey on the weak. Once you become disabled, it means you can't survive.
All animals follow this law, and no animal can escape it.
Since Golden Retriever ran away, Ryan no longer cared about Scarface because he had completely lost his competitiveness.
But as former allies, they eventually became enemies. Ryan squatted on the ground, squinting his eyes, looking at Scarface who was walking away. The breeze blew his huge long mane, and a hint of sadness was revealed in his golden lion eyes.
Looking at the lion father like this, Qiao Jinnian recalled the first time she saw Ryan, returning alone to the grassland in the early morning. At that time, she felt a sense of loneliness and depression from his silhouette.
It seems that she was not wrong at that time. Ryan was lonely and isolated in his heart. Maybe he also wanted to stay with the lion group, but he was betrayed and experienced some unhappy things, so this happened.
Scarface walked away, and Ryan carried Qiao Jinnian on his back and walked towards home, leaving this place of trouble.
The rainy season is always better for carnivores. There is no shortage of food, life is abundant, and everyone can eat their fill.
But as the rainfall decreased, the grassland gradually stopped raining, the grass began to dry up, and the rivers gradually dried up. The herbivores that had been searching for fresh green grass all year round finally began their annual migration to the northern grasslands.
There is still a lot of food in Ryan and Reiner's territory, so they are not in a hurry to migrate. In fact, if the territory is large enough, they can find food, but the range of their diet needs to be expanded.
That day, Silverback told Qiao Jinnian that he was going to find a beehive, so Qiao Jinnian took a torch, wrapped it in a plant that produced thick green smoke, and went to the place where the beehive was.
In fact, it was a small bird with red tail feathers that told the silverback where the beehive was. They seemed to have a verbal agreement, that is, the small bird would look for the whereabouts of the beehive, and after the silverback got the beehive, it would share some with the small bird to eat.
They had only recently started collaborating, as this was the first time Qiao Jinnian had seen this kind of bird.
Now, the three of them were working together, but Qiao Jinnian didn't care. After all, she still had a lot of honey. She ate it slowly, while Silverback basically finished it on the same day.
After the three of them successfully cooperated, they obtained the beehive. Qiao Jinnian kept a little for herself and divided the rest equally between the two of them.
The little bird happily flew away with the honeycomb in its mouth, and the silverback just lay there and started eating the honey.
Because this is Ryan's territory, it is relatively safe, and Reiner did not come with her.
Qiao Jinnian just wandered around and waited for the silverback to finish eating before going back.
However, a fast black shadow suddenly appeared in the sky, and before Qiao Jinnian could react, Silverback was caught by the lightning-fast creature.
Only then did Qiao Jinnian see clearly that it was a huge eagle with white wings with black spots and a wingspan of more than two meters. It flew very fast and its eyes looked particularly ferocious.
Oh my god, what kind of bird of prey is this!
At that moment, Qiao Jinnian knew that if Silverback was caught by this kind of bird of prey, he would probably die. She once said that at that time, only Silverback would accompany her to fight the three lions. Silverback was her best friend. How could she just sit there and do nothing when her friend was in trouble?
So, without thinking too much, Qiao Jinnian pounced forward and grabbed one of the huge claws directly. He used all his strength to pry the claws apart in an attempt to rescue the silverback.
However, she obviously overestimated her ability. The eagle didn't care at all and even caught her and the silverback in the sky.
Qiao Jinnian was extremely frightened and quickly grabbed his claws tightly, changing from passive to active. Otherwise, if he got angry, it would be terrible if he threw her to death.
Silverback was really brave. Even after being caught and lifted high into the air, he still did not forget to provoke the eagle and tried to bite its claws. He was stopped by Qiao Jinnian. Just kidding, if the eagle was angered, both of them would fall to their deaths from the air!
To be on the safe side, Qiao Jinnian quickly took out a hemp rope from the bag she was carrying on her back, grabbed the eagle's feet with one hand, and tied one end of the rope to his leg with her mouth and right hand. Because he was still being held by the eagle's claws, he boldly let go of his hands and tied his waist and the silverback's waist with the rope, so that he would not be afraid of the eagle throwing them to death.
As for how to survive, Qiao Jinnian thought that things would work out in the end and he would wait and see when the eagle would eat them.
The raptors carried them across the grassland and flew eastward. They had already left Ryan's territory.
It was not until Qiao Jinnian saw them passing through a bush that she felt they needed to escape. If the raptor really returned to its nest, they would surely die. Just look at the eagle's long beak; it could easily tear her to pieces.
The bush was very large, and Qiao Jinnian quickly untied the rope tied to the eagle's legs. Then, he used the flint knife on his body to start cutting the flesh on the eagle's legs. The pain made the eagle cry out, and it loosened its claws and threw them down.
So, Qiao Jinnian closed her eyes and hugged Silverback tightly, hoping that they would fall on the top of the bushes. After all, this bush was a rare dense bush and it was their only chance to survive.
