Spotted hyenas, being referred to as the "second brother of Africa", would certainly be encountered frequently on the vast savannahs.
Currently, this is just the first wave; surely, more would follow.
"This time there are only eight; a pot of boiling water could easily drive them away. But next time, there might be twenty or even forty. That would be dangerous; we cannot be careless."
After resting for a while, Bi Fang got up, used water to extinguish the spreading ring of fire, and cleaned up the mess alone.
Earlier, in order to block the hyenas' attacks as much as possible, Bi Fang had kicked the flames apart, forming a fire wall, which increased the range of the flames.
Although Bi Fang always cleared the surrounding area before starting a fire to avoid causing a grassland fire, the flames had clearly spread beyond the safe range and needed to be addressed quickly.
[No worries, I believe no matter the number, it's a piece of cake for Old Fang]
