Chapter 24 (1/2)

When the sky turned dark.

The exhausted and hungry pride finally reached their destination at the borders of the territory.

After a round of investigation, the male and female lions chose a patch of bushes at the edge of the territory to be their new home.

In the bushes, there were two thick and tall Baobab trees. The thick and fat bottom of the tree trunk was like a huge water tank and looked rather comical.

Of course, it was also exceptionally striking.

From today onwards, these two Baobab trees would become a special symbol of the pride’s new home.

Chu Xiaoye liked it here.

It was not just the trees, bushes, and grass here.

Even the air seemed to be cooler.

Under the slope not far away, there was a winding river.

Although the river was not wide and the water was muddy, many animals would gather here every evening.

There were carnivores like them, many strange herbivores, some beautiful birds, and even some small insects.

This was the real animal world.

The female lions did not stay long in the new home, nor did they have the time to rest. They had to find some food to satiate their hunger before the sun completely set.

At the foot of the hill not far away, the sounds of all sorts of animals neighing, playing, and begging for a mate could be heard. It was loud and noisy.

The five female lions looked at each other and walked over.

Standing on the hill and looking down, the female lions’ eyes lit up. Their mouths were overflowing with saliva and their stomachs were rumbling.

There was so much delicious food!

However, there were too many carnivores gathered at the drinking ground. They could not hunt there.

Otherwise, the food that they hunted painstakingly would also be snatched away by other carnivores.

They had to choose a target, find the direction that the target would leave in after drinking the water, and then lay an ambush on the path that the other party had to pass!

The female lions started to move.

The cold father lion did not rest either.

He passed through the bushes and peed at the borders of the territory again. He even rubbed his body on the grass and trees, leaving behind his fur and smell to warn his neighbors and the invaders.

He used urine and smell to split the bushes into two, enjoying the shade with the lions next door.

Under normal circumstances, prides that were neighbouring each other would not cross each other’s borders to avoid unnecessary casualties.

Unless the opposing lion was extremely strong and wanted to snatch their territory.

However.

The cold father understood the lion next door.

That lion was a year younger than him and was no match for him.

However, the other party was definitely not to be trifled with.

Therefore, it was better to understand each other and follow the rules.

No one wanted to risk their lives and die while letting the other wandering lions and carnivores take advantage of them.

The female lions were ambushing the enemy.

The lion was marking the borders of the territory.

As for Chu Xiaoye, he brought Little Curly Tail and Mei Mei up a Baobab tree and stood on the thickest branch at the top.

The bottom of this Baobab tree’s trunk was thick and round. The branches on it were also very wide. Compared to the big tree before, it was very easy to climb.

Mei Mei and Little Curly Tail stood on it as if they were walking on flat ground. They no longer had any fear.

Lars and Gigi lay sleeping in the bushes below.

The journey and fright made them so sleepy that they could not open their eyes.

They only wanted to eat when they woke up. They were not interested in climbing trees.

Chu Xiaoye stood on a branch and could vaguely see the river at the foot of the hill and the few animals gathered by the river to drink water.
