Chapter 69 Kruger Lion (XVI)
Chouchou finally escaped from danger, without even having time to catch his breath.
When I turned around, I found that my brother was entangled by the cold and sticky monster.
The horrible feeling of suffocation still lingered in his body, making him feel scared.
"Mia-wah!"
The brave Chou Chou pounced forward without hesitation, opened his mouth wide and bit the rock python's tail hard.
The rock python has very thick scales, so it doesn't seem to feel any pain when its tail is bitten.
It waved its tail as if sweeping away garbage, and instantly made Chouchou roll away.
Chouchou fell down and was covered in dirt, but he didn't care about the pain. He got up and bit the rock python again, trying to make it let go of his brother.
Yu Yiyun, who was entangled, felt a strong sense of suffocation and his eyes began to blur.
He forced himself to stay conscious for the last bit, uttered a weak warning, and waved his claws with difficulty.
The white lion was tied up tightly by the rock python, its movements were restricted, and its ability to make movements was limited. It was unable to break free by its own strength.
Chouchou is a native lion. Although he has followed me in several battles, I act completely on instinct and have no concept of 'hitting the snake at its most vulnerable part'.
As the saying goes, hit the snake at its seven-inch point. In fact, it is not strictly "seven inches", but refers to the position of its heart.
Snakes have a special body structure, and their hearts are relatively fragile without much bone protection.
As long as you attack there accurately, the snake will lose its ability to move or even die.
When Chou Chou heard his brother's weak cry, he became even more anxious. He pounced over regardless of anything and opened his mouth wide to bite the snake's head.
As a result, the python fought back and bit him hard.
Snakes' teeth are mostly used to fix prey rather than to bite or chew, so the damage they cause is limited.
The African rock python is not poisonous. One bite left two tiny bloody holes on Chou Chou's body, but the injury was not serious.
The brothers' repeated attacks made the python even angrier.
It tightened its body again, planning to strangle the white lion first and then deal with the earthy lion, and then slowly enjoy the delicacy.
When Chou Chou heard Yu Yiyun's voice getting weaker and weaker, he realized something and started biting the python's tail like crazy.
Yu Yiyun's neck was strangled and she could hardly make a sound.
The claws had not given up yet and swung twice alternately in the air.
“Ah, ah…”
Chouchou was attracted by the sound and noticed his brother's actions.
Suddenly, I finally remembered the meaning of the white lion's action from countless hunting exercises in the past:
You, repeat!
Chouchou tried hard to recall his brother's actions just now, went around the back of the python, and bit the place where Yu Yiyun left the teeth marks.
Chouchou was so anxious that he lost his mind and bit the piece of meat hard, using all his strength.
The python realized the danger, rolled over in pain, and released its tail to try to stop Chouchou.
Yu Yiyun finally regained her freedom and paused for a few tenths of a second.
Before he could catch his breath, he pounced on it again, and together with Chouchou, attacked the rock python from the front and back, attacking its heart.
The rock python was angry and annoyed. It rolled hard on the ground, but it couldn't break free from the two lions.
Finally, it gave in and decided to give up the hunt.
Just as the rock python was about to give up and leave the sand dune, a flash of light as fast as lightning flew over.
The lightning rushed over at the fastest speed, revealing its sharp fangs and piercing deep into the rock python's body.
The stalemate lasted for a full five minutes, until the rock python completely lost its movement, with Dian Guang still lying on it, its body heaving violently.
Cheetahs typically won't hunt rock pythons and will even avoid them.
Dian Guang's first litter of babies was eaten by a rock python.
It hides away from lions and hyenas, and hides its cubs in a safe den.
As a result, a rock python sneaked in and swallowed the defenseless baby whole.
Dian Guang followed the baby's scent to find it and fought with the rock python for half an hour.
finally……
It vomited the dead cub from its stomach.
Dian Guang stayed by the babies' side, licking the mucus off each one and calling them gently.
But the baby refused to open his eyes and lay quietly in his mother's arms as if he was asleep.
Seeing the rock python next to the nest again, Dian Guang recalled what happened before and burst into intense anger and aggression.
Upon noticing it was harming its two cubs, the cheetah ran at an unprecedented speed, bravely attacking the cold-blooded animal that it would have previously avoided.
Only after confirming that the rock python was completely dead did Dian Guang relax and rub the two lion cubs one by one to comfort their injuries... uh.
Zhumi and Chouchou surrounded the rock python and tried to probe it frantically with their claws.
"Meow?" Snake, did you gurgle?
"Meow!" It's hard, it should be a gala!
"Mia~" Then we can start the meal~
The little greedy cat's tears were so excited that they flowed down along with his saliva as he wondered how to peel off the scales and eat the snake meat.
Chouchou was so hungry that he chose to start eating from the soft mouth and had a real snake kiss with the rock python.
At dawn, Dora arrived on time to deliver milk and saw the two cubs coiled around a giant python.
Lions rarely hunt pythons, but if they come across such a big meal, they will naturally not let it go.
Dora helped tear open the python and tasted the new flavor of meat.
It smells so good. I’ll take it home and let my cub try it later.
After Zhumi and Chouchou had eaten and drunk their fill, they decided to show their brotherly love and pack a portion for Tiezhu.
A few hours later, the lion group on the lower west bank woke up one after another, and the little lions were seen sucking on the python with relish.
Zhumi and Chouchou were such big eaters that only half of the five-meter-long python was left.
The big lion looked at it with envy and went over to try the new flavor of meat.
As a result, the white lion, which was not good at catching prey, immediately pulled the snake's tail and hung on the tree in a few seconds to prevent them from approaching.
"Meow!" If you want to eat, catch it yourself!
Chouchou was standing under the tree, looking fierce, and meowed loudly to tell them:
This is what my brother paid for with his life, I won’t give it to you!
"...Meow!" Yu Yijun jumped down and gently hit Chou Chou on the head.
So don’t tell anyone about the lost cat!
The big lions licked their lips and stopped fighting for the food they 'earned with their lives', allowing the little lion to eat the food all by himself.
When Tommy saw a leopard cat sneaking over to steal meat, he rushed out and chased it for several kilometers.
'My son's life paid for this food!'
'What are you stealing!'
Pig: ...
Very good, now his story of exchanging his life for a snake should spread throughout the grassland.
If I had known I wouldn’t have eaten alone, sob.
Unable to afford to lose the cat, the pig finally took the snake down and let each lion have a taste.
Pythons eat infrequently and eat little meat, which is at most enough for a lion to fill its teeth.
After eating the snake, the big lion still had to go out to cook.
More than a dozen lions walked gracefully to the river bank with cat-like steps.
Before they found their prey, they saw two familiar male lions on the other side of the river, with four female lions greeting them.
“Roar~”
“Gurgle gurgle!”
The professor and Sanmao deliberately chose the time when the lion group on the west bank came to the river, and brought their wives, with whom they had just confirmed their relationships, to show off to their big brother with their tails up.
Tommy was genuinely happy for them and roared with joy across the river bank.
The Lower West Coast lion group and the Lower East Coast lion group have been neighbors for such a long time, but there has never been any conflict and they have a good impression of each other.
During the dry season in the past two years, the lower reaches of the river were so dry that there was not even silt left, and the river flowed smoothly.
The two lion groups often meet when hunting, but they always keep to themselves.
Today, the two lion prides are controlled by male lions from the same alliance, so they can be considered a family.
The lionesses accepted and were happy with the result.
In the following dry season, lions will inevitably have to rush for prey.
Even if two lion groups cannot cooperate, the relationship between male lions at least prevents them from fighting each other.
Moreover, judging from current signs, the two lion groups downstream are not unable to cooperate.
After Sanmao and the professor showed off their wives, they jumped into the river and waded through the water.
When it comes to swimming, the first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar.
The two brothers quickly climbed ashore, shook off their fur, and followed their eldest brother to join the hunting team.
It really came true.
In the world of Leo, brotherhood is more important than love.
It’s not that the two lions abandoned their beautiful wives as soon as they got married.
Mainly because the dry season is getting drier and drier, the living environment on the lower east coast is becoming more difficult.
As soon as the lion made any movement, the nearby baboons immediately informed them, making it impossible for them to find any prey.
Besides, the professor and Sanmao going to other companies to apply for the lion king position did not mean to break up.
On the African savannah, it is common for powerful male lion alliances to rule over multiple lion groups.
They have no ambition to rule the two lion groups, they just want to take advantage of this convenience to solve the survival problem of the lion groups.
Sanmao and the professor brought their own lion pride to join the hunt, and the lion pride on the lower west coast naturally had no objection.
Anyway, the east and west banks share the river and are in similar situations.
In the late dry season, they will move upstream along the river to compete with the upstream lion groups for survival resources. There is no need to fight to the death.
Not long after, the four lioness sisters also joined the hunting team.
The lion group, whose fighting power had increased again, quickly hunted down an adult buffalo, and each lion had a delicious meal.
After eating and drinking, the pig patted its belly, very satisfied with the current situation.
With the current size and hunting ability of the lion group, they should be able to get through the dry season smoothly as long as there are no accidents.
But he forgot that the vast African grasslands are full of surprises.
The lion group that encountered the accident this time was not the two lion groups downstream.
It was another noisy night. As usual, the lions finished their patrols and hunting, and each found a shade under a tree to take a deep sleep.
Yu Yiyun had just laid down when he noticed that a group of hyenas nearby moved out in groups and ran in a certain direction.
After all, as neighbors for such a long time, the piglet knew that the second brother next door would not do anything without profit, and usually only came in full force for food.
It was almost dawn, and they rarely hunt during the day.
So, we should go somewhere to find bargains.
The weather in the African grasslands is hot and food spoils quickly, so Yu Yiyun has no interest in picking up garbage.
He flicked the tip of his tail and was about to continue lying down when he heard a series of lion roars not far away.
The hyenas that had just run over came back in a group, holding uneaten meat in their mouths.
Yu Yiyun glanced over and saw a piece of animal skin with a lion's mane.
Judging from the color and luster, it belongs to a fairly young male lion.
Last night, a young male lion died near them.
Yu Yiyun realized something and suddenly couldn't sleep, so he ran to the crime scene following the blood.
Before running over, I found that the documentary photographer had already arrived and sighed regretfully.
"Oh my god, the male lion and several cubs were mauled to death. It's so tragic."
"The lion that bit them to death clearly had its own territory, so why did it attack the leader lion of another lion group?"
"Who knows..."
Yu Yijun stopped there, followed the camera lens, and saw a tall and strong young lion with a mane completely dyed red with blood.
He stood there alone, blocking out the sun, his orange eyes emotionless.
The lion's eyes became stern, and he looked from afar at the white lion that was secretly watching him.
