Chapter 1004 Trus (1/2)
Crew Cut Brother dodged and managed to avoid the lioness's smash. However, it was unable to shy away from the lioness' mouth.
The lioness bit down, with Crew Cut Brother in between her teeth, ready to kill.
It was unclear how it did it, but Crew Cut Brother struggled like a slithering snake and the lioness was unable to keep it in her mouth. In fact, Crew Cut Brother even succeeded in being flung onto the floor, escaping the lioness.
Li Du knew the reason. Honey badgers had thick rubbery skin that was tough yet loose-fitting. Even if they were bitten by the deadly crocodile, honey badgers were capable of escaping by shedding their outer skin.
Having escaped, not only did Crew Cut Brother stop fleeing, but it turned and dashed toward the lioness before clawing at her!
The lioness was enraged and let out several roars. Other lionesses began to approach at top speed.
A pride of lions surrounded Crew Cut Brother. Li Du did not manage to see what happened next clearly as his view was obstructed. He only saw that the pride of lions surrounded Crew Cut Brother, roared, and seemed to be attacking it.
After a couple of minutes, a lioness picked up Crew Cut Brother with her mouth. This time, Crew Cut Brother was not struggling like before. The honey badger's body laid obediently between the lioness teeth, unmoving, dead.
Good cast a glance at Li Du and said cheerfully, ”See, that's how a brave soul ends up after acting recklessly! The lion gave it a chance to live, but it did not cherish the opportunity!”
Li Du understood that Good was referring to him but Li Du did not respond, pretending that he had not heard.
Their hunger satisfied by the meal, the pride of lions began to disperse.
The eagle was soaring in the sky and the hyenas that had been hiding started to move, keen to gain a share of the zebra's remains.
”Commander, shall we make a move?” the driver asked.
Good kept his eyes on the bush that a small honey badger had been hiding in. He said casually, ”No, not leaving yet, stay a little. There's still a little warrior. I want to see how it is going to die.”
Hence, they waited. However, the other small honey badger did not emerge and stayed hidden in the bush.
Good, who had lost his patience, waved his hands toward the honey badger and commanded, ”Go, lure the little creature out.”
The driver swallowed his saliva as he looked out of the window. He said hesitantly, ”Commander, can we drive over there?”
Not all the lions had left and some were just resting by the hills. The hyenas were roaming around nearby, searching for their next prey. The area remained dangerous.
The soldiers were afraid to get down from the jeep. However, Brother Wolf had no reservations. He pushed the door open, jumped down from the jeep and carefully studied the positions of the hyenas before lowering his body and dashing towards the bush.
He had not prepared himself to deal with the lions. The pride that just ate their fill were no threat. They would not randomly attack prey because every attack could bring them unnecessary harm.
Unless it was absolutely essential, the lions, leopards, and other wild beasts would not risk suffering injuries. That was because one injury could cause lasting damage, causing their hunting abilities to suffer and causing them to die from starvation.
The hyenas fixed their eyes on Brother Wolf, slowly approaching.
Brother Wolf searched among the bushes and brought out a honey badger, which looked just like a small puppy. Then he started back to the jeep again with his body lowered.
One hyena looked at Brother Wolf hungrily, slowly making its way toward him.
Brother Wolf turned and glared menacingly at it, opened his mouth fiercely and howled, ”WOAW!”
That stopped the hyena in its tracks. After regaining its composure, the animal took a step backward, eyeing Brother Wolf suspiciously.
Shock had gripped the hyena momentarily. With the small honey badger in his arms, Brother Wolf hurried back to the jeep and passed the animal to Li Du calmly.
