Chapter 21 (1/2)
Another three days passed.
The female lions still worked hard but returned empty-handed after hunting.
Be it the lion or the young cubs, they were all so hungry that they could not take it.
If this continued, the pride would face an even greater crisis.
On this day.
The lion finally made a decision and migrated to the southern border of the territory.
There was a river at the foot of the hill.
Although the river was not big, the land was fertile and the vegetation was beautiful. Many herbivores must have gathered there.
But.
Beside the water source, other than many herbivores, there were also many carnivores.
If the pride did not have cubs, it would not be a problem to migrate there.
But now, there were still five young cubs in the pride.
The oldest was only a year old.
If they went there, they would be coveted and attacked by those carnivores at any time.
Their pride was just a small pride.
It would be dangerous if they encountered some large carnivores or other prides.
Furthermore, there were probably many wandering lions gathered there.
Hence, for the past few days, the lion had been hesitating about whether to migrate over.
If the cubs were killed, he could have cubs again.
However, if he was defeated, his territory and his wives and concubines would be snatched away. What awaited him would be a life of wandering where he would have a filling meal one day and go hungry the next day.
He might even die.
Although he was still strong, there was no lack of stronger individuals or even alliances among those wandering lions.
If he stayed here, the other party would not be able to see his true strength and would not know the true strength of the pride. Therefore, normal wandering lions would leave guiltily after smelling him and hearing his roar.
Once they reached the borders of the territory, the strength of the pride would be exposed.
At that time, he would probably have to face one challenge after another.
A moment of carelessness would result in wandering or death.
Reality was cruel.
Making a decision was also very difficult.
However, he had to make a decision now.
Migrate immediately!
If he continued to hesitate, when he ran out of food and became weak with hunger, once an enemy invaded, he would be doomed!
The sun had just risen.
On the grassland, the vegetation was withered and the air was hot.
The lion, the cold father, brought the five female lions and the five young cubs, and set off towards the southern border with an uneasy mood.
The cubs and lionesses all felt unwilling to leave their home.
The female lions were more worried than the male lion.
They knew the dangers of the water sources at the borders.
There would indeed be abundant and fresh food for the children there, but there was a possibility that they might lose their lives at any time.
The territory of the pride was not big and only fifty square kilometers at most.
If there were no cubs, they would quickly reach their destination.
However, with the cubs as a burden, their speed became very slow.
After walking for a while, they would rest for a while.
The lion could not help but growl and urge them.
Chu Xiaoye followed his mother with ease and looked back at his former home.
He did not feel any longing, and just felt that it was a bit of a shame.
He had planned to hunt in the bushes at the back again tonight.
With his luck the previous two times, he believed that his luck this time would definitely be very good as well.
Perhaps he would encounter that stupid little leopard again. Perhaps he would be able to snatch prey away from her mouth again. Oh, no, he would be able to catch a delicious prey.
He still admired that big female leopard.
