Cyrus learned a lot of necessary knowledge from Parzin, such as how to effectively avoid running naked.
Pulling at the animal skin skirt around his waist, Cyrus still couldn't believe it was his fur. Speaking of which, this way of transformation is very convenient, as long as his fur is still there, he never has to worry about clothes.
The female lion you mentioned, who is blind in one eye, should be Tina, the leader of the Orus lion group. She has experienced two generations of lion king rule and is also the oldest female lion in the group. The female lion in the Orus lion group is either her daughter or her niece. Half of the current Orus lion group are evolutionary species and very strong. In Orus territory, it is always right to be cautious. Speaking of which, you can escape from Tina's hands, I'm really lucky. "
Cyrus held Calvin and Charlie and listened quietly. Parzin's advice carries full sincerity, and Cyrus sincerely wants to thank him, at least treating him to a meal. However, his current physical condition makes catching a rabbit a problem.
"Then remember for now."
Parzin has a very outgoing personality, with a sunny smile on his face. Suddenly, he approached Cyrus and sniffed his neck. Cyrus was startled, the distance was too close, and for a moment, he almost thought Parzin was trying to attack him.
"Just remember your smell."
Parzin blinked, still looking harmless. Jarlow lay on his brother's lap, pursed his lips, and muttered softly, "It's not a female..." God knows how strange this expression appeared on the face of a cheetah.
Parzin and Jarlow did not stay for too long. Before leaving, Parzin told Cyrus that part of their brother's territory overlaps with that of the Orus lion pack. If Cyrus cannot survive here, Parzin welcomes Cyrus to his territory.
"Brother?"
Jarlow looked at Parzin inexplicably, wondering why the brothers invited a male cheetah to live on their territory. Is there any benefit? It's not a Cute girl who can give birth to children for them.
"If there's a chance."
Cyrus didn't say it to death. He thanked Parzin, but he wouldn't fully trust this evolved male cheetah. Parzin showed goodwill towards him, but did not make any conditions, which is very inappropriate from the perspective of a beast. To be honest, Cyrus couldn't think of anything Parzin could get from him.
Parzin and Jarlow did not stay for too long, they were on their way to patrol the territory. Although cheetahs migrate with seasonal herds, they also have their own territory, especially for powerful beings like the Parzin brothers.
Cyrus is not yet aware of the reputation of Parzin and Jarlow on this grassland, as this pair of evolved male cheetahs has even hunted adult male wildebeests.
Based on the comparison of strength and body size between cheetahs and adult wildebeests, this is simply unimaginable.
Calvin and Charlie slept peacefully in Cyrus's arms, and Cyrus couldn't bear to wake them up. He just hugged the two little cheetahs until dawn.
After dawn, Cyrus intended to catch a gazelle to surprise his son, but he didn't expect his injuries to be so severe for the cheetah. Even if he maintains his humanoid form, Cyrus still limps when walking, let alone running at the speed of a cheetah.
Ideals are full, reality is backbone.
Cyrus deeply understood the meaning of this sentence.
"Dad, it's okay. I'm not hungry."
Calvin was lying on Cyrus's lap, this mischievous little guy, it's rare for him to be so obedient.
"Yes, dad, I'm just like my brother. Dad's injured, so we need to rest well."
Charlie opened his big eyes and rested in Cyrus's palm. Cyrus pinched the padding on Charlie's paw, instantly being pierced by the arrow of cuteness. He picked up his son and rubbed him vigorously. Such a cute creature, so naturally adorable!
Although that's the case, Cyrus doesn't intend to let his child go hungry. Cheetahs may only be left to fate in this situation, either unable to hunt due to their injuries until they starve to death, or lucky enough to survive in one breath.
Cyrus has no intention of doing so.
"Son, today my dad will teach you that nothing is absolute!"
Calvin and Charlie watched as Cyrus bravely moved forward, with a huge question mark popping up on their heads.
Cyrus didn't go too far before he discovered what he was looking for. Calvin and Charlie also know the plants in Cyrus's hands, which are the thorns Cyrus uses to guard against predatory attacks. It has a certain anesthetic effect, but the time effect is very short.
Cyrus instructed two cheetahs to wait on the nearest termite mound, and then made several ropes with thorns. This is what Cyrus learned from the natives in his previous life, usually used to catch rabbits and small mammals. The principle of the trap set by poachers is similar, but the purpose is completely opposite. The former is for food and survival, while the latter is for greed and money.
With preparations in place, Cyrus summoned two little cheetahs and the father and son began searching for prey in the grass. For the sake of convenience, Cyrus transformed back into the appearance of a cheetah. Although his walking was not very agile, it made it easier for him to search for the scent of prey and hide himself.
Soon, the father and son met several warthog. These are three adult male warthog, with a pair of sharp fangs on their snouts that can easily cut through the fur of cheetahs and pierce their stomachs. Cyrus carefully set a trap and deliberately made a sound.
The warthog immediately discovered Cyrus and two little cheetahs. They didn't seem to take these three cheetahs seriously. Not long ago, they drove away a lioness that was attempting to attack them for lunch and made a long incision in its hind leg. Compared to the sturdy lioness, these three cheetahs in front of me are nothing. Besides, two of them are still cubs.
The warthog made a threatening sound towards Cyrus and drove him away. Cyrus, as envisioned by the warthog, kept retreating with two little cheetahs until the warthog thought they had retreated to a safe distance before stopping.
The warthog looked at Cyrus for a while, then ignored him. The three warthog were all focused on finding food, thinking that Cyrus could not pose a threat to them, and gradually relaxed their vigilance. Unfortunately, Cyrus is also hungry, and he also wants to find something to eat.
Seeing the warthog relax its vigilance, Cyrus instructed the two little cheetahs to continue retreating and then lower their bodies. He stayed in place and made a provocative sound towards the warthog. Sure enough, the warthog were deceived. One of the male warthog was particularly irritable, and he rushed towards Cyrus with great momentum. But he didn't want to be tripped by the rope set by Cyrus halfway, and the piercing scream startled two warthog outside. The thorns that trapped the front feet of the warthog were not tough, but the thorns on the thorns pierced the warthog's skin during its struggle, and the anesthetic effect gradually appeared. The warthog's struggling strength gradually decreased.
In fact, warthogs are also very timid. Seeing their companion inexplicably fall to the ground, they thought the male cheetah that posed no threat was approaching with ill intentions, and the other two male warthogs chose to flee.
Cyrus did not pursue them, but took the opportunity of the warthog being anesthetized and grabbed a stone to forcefully smash the warthog's head. The anesthetic effect of this thorn will soon disappear, he must seize the time. Although he can bite the neck of the warthog directly, the male warthog has rough skin and thick flesh, and Cyrus doesn't want to put in too much effort.
Quickly, the warthog remained motionless.
The two little cheetahs watched without blinking.
"Dad is so amazing!"
Cyrus wanted to drag the warthog into the distant grass, but this adult male warthog was full of weight. He was injured again and his hind legs couldn't exert any force, so he could only call for two little cheetahs to come over.
Biting open the skin of the warthog, Cyrus still let the two little cheetahs eat first, while being wary of vultures and other predators that could arrive at any time.
But the problem arose. The meat of this male warthog was too tough for the cheetah to bite off. After working hard for a while, only a few clear tooth marks were left on the warthog. Cyrus had no choice but to shred the meat himself and then let the two little cheetahs eat it, which would prolong the meal time.
When the two cheetahs were full and Cyrus began to eat, the vultures had already gathered not far away, spreading their wings and watching Cyrus's every move with a threatening posture. They dare not bully Cyrus as casually as before, but it does not hinder this group of bald necks from bluffing around with many people.
Calvin couldn't help but start driving them away, but Cyrus didn't stop him this time. He was injured and was able to catch this warthog today, with luck accounting for the majority. I don't know where the next meal will be, but if I can eat a little more, I will let Calvin's behavior go unchecked. It's just that the vulture is fine. If hyenas and lions are attracted, he really won't have to eat.
Seeing his brother drive away the vulture, Charlie also started to make a scene together.
The group of vultures were driven up and down by two little cheetahs, feeling extremely embarrassed. But Cyrus was watching from the side, and the vultures never dared to attack Calvin and Charlie.
Finally, Cyrus was full and beckoned the two little cheetahs to leave. The remaining warty pork was left to be snatched by the group of vultures.
Fillet and Eero were driven away by Orus and were beaten up badly. They definitely wouldn't dare to approach Orus' territory again in the short term. As long as the hyenas and lions don't come to cause trouble, Cyrus believes that he should be able to recover quickly.
Cyrus left with two little cheetahs, and Parzin and Jarlow, who had been hiding in the distant grass, walked out. Watching the vultures piled together, Parzin looked towards the direction Cyrus was leaving, lost in thought.
"Brother, there is indeed something unusual about this evolutionary species."
Jarlow changed his previous contempt for Cyrus. A cheetah bitten by a lion could still hunt down a male warthog, which indeed could not be underestimated. At this moment, in Jarlow's heart, Cyrus' image rose from a strange evolved male cheetah to a threatening competitor. Parzin nodded. This evolved species had aroused his interest. Although inviting him to live on his territory was just a whim, now it seemed like a good idea.
Parzin cannot guarantee that he and Jarlow will never be injured. If the evolved male cheetah is willing to share with them the experience of successful hunting after being injured, Parzin does not mind Cyrus surviving in his own territory. Not blood related male cheetahs occasionally live in groups, although the probability is small, it is not uncommon. Parzin is confident in convincing Jarlow, even though his brother spends most of his time thinking about the female cheetah.
