84 Bloodbath
◎At this moment, the grassland roared continuously, announcing that the lions were about to start a bloodbath on the hyenas that dared to act rashly.◎
The lion father saw his cubs being bullied by the hyenas from afar, and was furious. When he was still two kilometers away from the scene, he ran towards this side.
Normally, the lion father would be lazy whenever possible, after all, he needs to maintain his physical strength. Now that he has been bullied by the hyenas, he naturally wants to vent his anger on his cubs.
So, over the two kilometers, the lion father roared and rushed straight towards the hyena queen at the fastest speed in his life.
The hyena queen was eating happily and couldn't react so quickly. When she heard the lion's roar, it was already too late.
The lion father's throat-locking skill is no joke. It is a killer move that the wandering male lion has developed through repeated survival challenges. It is not something that an ordinary lion can master.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" The hyena queen screamed shrilly, and the hyena soldiers beside her realized that a huge lion had arrived, and the lion had strangled their queen!
"Hehehe..." The hyenas burst into panic shouts and surrounded the lion, trying to force the lion to release their queen.
How could Ryan be afraid of the hyena pack? He didn't even stop for a second. With such a huge bite force, the hyena queen died in a few seconds.
"Hahaha..." The hyenas were in complete chaos. They wanted to get close to Ryan's back and try to attack his butt.
After biting a mouthful of fur, Ryan threw the hyena queen's body back in disgust in front of the hyena group.
It was a brilliant one-sided strangulation, and the hyenas were so frightened that they retreated one after another, with their tails between their legs, ready to escape.
However, the sub-adults, who were only a few kilometers behind, as well as Sister Sa, Little Sister Sa, Sa Claw Claw, and Reiner, all appeared on the grassland one after another.
A huge pride of lions arrived at the scene, almost catching up with the entire hyena pack in number.
The hyenas were doomed now. They were leaderless and in a mess like a ball of paste. They could only start to run away on their own.
Without the queen's order, the hyenas began to flee in all directions.
You bullied your own lion and you still want to run away?
Lions and hyenas are sworn enemies, and during the dry season, they kill each other.
Generally speaking, there may be a brief period of peace during the rainy season. That is because there is plenty of food and conflicts are not that great.
However, this was the first time that her lion hunted such a large prey alone, and the hyena queen was blinded and wanted to come over and snatch it away directly, and even wanted to surround her own lion!
How can I bear this?
Ryan growled at the lions: "Roar—"
Sister Sa, who had not yet arrived at the scene, was the first to roar: "Roar——"
Then, it was Reiner, Sa Xiaomei and Sa Zhua Zhua who roared in unison: "Roar——"
The sub-adults were all cubs over a year old, already half the height of their parents. They also responded with a rather childish roar towards the sky: "Roar—"
At this moment, the grassland was filled with roars, announcing that the lions were about to start a bloodbath on the hyenas that dared to act rashly.
The roars of lions continued one after another, echoing throughout the grassland, scaring the surrounding wildebeests, zebras, and antelopes into fleeing towards more distant grasslands, not daring to stop for a moment.
Qiao Jinnian also followed the lions, raised his head, and roared loudly towards the sky: "Roar——"
This is Ryan's lion territory. There are no other top predators of the same level in this grassland, but the deafening roar can be heard far away in this open grassland, deterring the surrounding lions from invading their territory at will.
The hyenas had already started to flee, but were surrounded by the lions who were getting closer and closer, gradually forming a huge fan.
The hyenas that were about to escape were so scared that they tucked their tails between their legs and lowered their butts to the ground. They were forced to retreat and had to return to the scene where they had just fought for food.
At this moment, the hyenas must be feeling extremely regretful. They were so blind that they dared to steal the food from the daughter of the territorial lion. They were really courting their lives!
Now that the hyena queen is gone, the hyenas are leaderless and look at each other, not knowing what to do.
what to do?
Ryan rubbed the ground with his front paws and roared in a deep voice: "Roar——"
Then, five adult lions attacked the hyena pack together.
There was originally a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and now there are so many lions, it is simply a one-sided massacre.
The hyenas were strangled and bitten to death one by one, making a shrill cry of "Ah Ah Ah——"
Sa Xiaomei and Sa Zhua Zhua are now the backbone of the tribe. Their fighting power cannot be underestimated. There is not a single lion raised in vain in their lion group.
Soon, the corpses of the hyenas were scattered all over the grassland, and the entire grassland was covered with blood, but Ryan had no intention of eating the hyenas.
The lions retreated on their own initiative, leaving the entire battlefield to the vultures watching from the side.
These were the scavengers of the grassland. They witnessed the entire lion group fighting against the hyena group, but they just stood far away, motionless and quiet as chickens, fearing that their own group would be affected.
They had originally been waiting to wait until all the carnivores were full before coming to clean up the battlefield, but now they were not polite and just came up to eat.
Ryan disliked the taste of hyenas and didn't like to eat hyena meat at all. After all, they were scavengers and their meat might not taste good. It was not the dry season, so there was no need for the lion group to eat hyenas.
The hyena pack was wiped out only to warn other wild dog packs or hyena packs on the grassland that if they want to steal food, they'd better look carefully and see whose food they are stealing.
Dozens of hyenas were devoured by the vultures, but there were still too many corpses. Soon, scavengers from another grassland came over after hearing the noise. No one knew how they knew that animals had died here.
The bald stork tribe and even the goshawks all came, after all, there was a lot of meat here and everyone could eat it.
Seeing the scavengers cleaning up the battlefield, Ryan calmed down his anger, walked forward, and licked his cub's cheek, as if he was comforting a child.
However, the lion father had just bitten many hyenas to death, and his mouth was smelly and full of blood. Qiao Jinnian felt a little disgusted, but did not avoid it.
She enjoyed the intimate moment with her father very much. She simply stretched out her hands, hugged her father's huge lion head, kissed his nose, and shouted: "Awoo——"
Ryan was helpless about the fact that his cubs always imitated the roar of the lion cub for no apparent reason, but he had no way to object.
This cub is so strange. That kind of roaring sound only exists when the cub is a few months old. It is impossible for an adult lion to make such a sound.
The lion father looked at his cub speechlessly and sniffed her all over, as if checking if she was injured.
Seeing his father sniffing around, Qiao Jinnian actually felt itchy all over. He smiled and hugged his lion father's head to stop him from sniffing around: "Awoo——"
It was a comforting voice, indicating that nothing was wrong with her.
After hearing the cub's answer, Ryan finally felt relieved and looked at the wildebeest carcass that had been half eaten by the hyenas. The vultures did not dare to touch the wildebeest carcass.
After all, the vultures had already seen that the hyena group was massacred because of the wildebeest, and they did not dare to move forward without the approval of the lion group.
After taking a look at the huge wildebeest, the lion father opened his mouth with pride and licked Qiao Jinnian's face again. Then he roared to the lion group: "Roar——"
Our own lion pride has always been different from other lion prides. There is no correct class division. Everyone eats meat together. Even sub-adults who should eat last can squeeze in to eat.
So, dozens of lions completely surrounded the wildebeest, leaving no space for even an ant to get in!
Qiao Jinnian felt very satisfied when he saw his lion group enjoying the fruits of their labor.
Star and Freckles also dragged their prey over to eat, and Freckles also brought her cubs over, and everyone ate together.
The whole family was having a great time, enjoying the feast. Next to them were a group of vultures, who had forgotten even their quarrels and were eating quietly.
Everyone eats their own food, and there is no real harmony on the grassland.
In the distance, the herbivores who had just been frightened away by the momentum of the top predators were no longer afraid when they saw that the carnivores were full, because that proved that they were safe at least today, so they all came back.
Qiao Jinnian looked at the herd of wildebeests in the distance, and her eyes couldn't help but fall on the wildebeest calf that was born just a few hours ago.
The little wildebeest was protected by its mother and aunts in the middle, eating grass obediently with its head down, looking so comfortable, as if everything that happened during the day was normal, so normal that this would happen once a day in their lives in the future.
Yes, from the moment they are born, they have to adapt to this life of chasing and escaping, and grow up slowly to become wildebeests as strong as their mothers.
It seems as if nature has an invisible hand that perfectly balances the ecological chain on this grassland.
Millions of wildebeests graze on the grass on this grassland day and night, and the hunting by lions helps the wildebeests select the strongest genes and eat those that are not strong.
Lions help control the number of wildebeests on the grassland so that the grassland will not be over-consumed of grass due to excessive wildebeest population.
The strong prey on the weak, and wildebeests have always maintained a balanced number through generation after generation of reproduction and evolution, so that they can survive endlessly on this grassland.
Qiao Jinnian would not eat raw meat, but she had some dried meat that she roasted every few days. When she had free time, she could also cook a dish for herself with tubers, eggs, and meat to improve her life.
In this hunt, Qiao Jinnian proved to the lion group, or to the lion father, that he was also the backbone of the lion group and could take on the responsibility of an adult lion.
After finishing their meal, the lions in their family group lay lazily on the grassland, licking their paws and digesting the food in their stomachs.
The grasslands in the rainy season are always so beautiful, with herbivores leisurely grazing on the grass with their heads down, a huge semicircular rainbow, large white clouds that look like sheep lost and running into the sky, and lions lying lazily on the grass with their eyes squinting.
There are also five cheetah cubs who keep meowing, their bodies seem to be full of static electricity, and their fur stands up. Everything about them is so cute!
