On their way back to the center of their territory, the Orus lion pack encountered a male water buffalo that had been separated from its companion.
One of the front legs of a water buffalo was injured, perhaps due to a muscle strain, or perhaps from fighting with other male water buffaloes. When walking with a limp, the female lions will never miss this divine opportunity.
Except for Tina and Hona who were injured to take care of the little lion, the other ten female lions poured out, and the injured water buffalo couldn't resist the hungry and aggressive army of women.
Orus was just watching from the side, not exerting much strength, and only went up to share the lioness's spoils after the lionesses defeated the water buffalo. Lions have always had priority over their prey. Perhaps it was due to Orus's strength in killing the Horsby male lion before, or perhaps something else, in short, during meals, the female lions selectively forgot the stories that Orus and Horsby's Zueva had to tell.
Although Orus always disregards the mother lions' punches and kicks, the mother lions are well aware of when to behave obediently and not truly anger the male lion.
The group of lions had a full meal, and the little lions regained their energy. They started chasing and playing around their mother and aunt again. One little lion was very interested in its tail and chased after it like a puppy, circling around the tip of its tail. However, it was knocked down by Orus with a slap. In fact, Orus just thought this little lion was fun and wanted to say hello to him, but he didn't expect this to happen. For adult male lions, the cubs are too delicate, let alone the fact that male lions have never been able to master the proper balance when interacting with their children.
Orus looked at the motionless little lion being photographed on the ground and glanced left and right as if in trouble. As expected, Teeny had already bared his fangs at him
Now that the lion pack is in the center of the territory, there is no need to worry about the danger of other lion packs and hyenas. Therefore, the majestic lion king, in the eyes of the mother lions, has once again become a glutton.
So, the pitiful lion king was once again driven out of the lion pack.
The male lion appears to be the master of the territory, dominating one side, but in fact, at some times, they live a similar life as the homeless.
As long as the female lions are not satisfied, the male lion can only be driven away from the pack in a disheveled manner. Of course, he will still go back to eat at the designated time. No one can stop the lion's passion for meat.
In the middle of the day, as the temperature gradually increased, Orus found a mountain rock far away from the lion pack. Behind the rock was a golden acacia tree, which was a good place to take a nap.
A few steps up the rock, Orus lay down, sighing at his wives' ruthlessness while thinking about when they would have their next meal. Occasionally, the figures of Horsby's mother lions flashed through his mind. Well, remember to eat or not to fight, that's Orus.
What Orus didn't expect was that while he was lazily idle, the three cheetahs were hiding in a thicket under the rocks.
Cyrus and two cheetahs lay tightly on the ground, trying to make themselves less conspicuous. He still didn't understand, he just took a nap. Why did a lion lie on the rock in front of him as soon as he opened his eyes? And it also includes an acquaintance.
Since this male lion is here, it proves that the group of lions will not be too far away. Fortunately, he still thought that the group of lions would be at the border of the territory, and he and his son could live a peaceful life. He didn't expect these lions to come back so soon.
"Dad, what should we do?"
Calvin and Charlie no longer panic at the sight of lions, but still instinctively feel fearful. Cyrus could only try to appease the two little cheetahs as much as possible. Orus was too close to them, and although the two little cheetahs were already running very fast, they still couldn't run the adult lion. The only chance for father and son is to wait for Orus to fall asleep and then sneak away.
Cyrus may have the courage to fight against the lioness, but he is absolutely unwilling to provoke the male lion, especially this one that is quite unique.
Two little cheetahs were lying on the ground like Cyrus, their chin tightly pressed against their front legs, and their breathing was very light. They waited quietly, watching Orus occasionally open his big mouth and yawn, but he just didn't sleep. Cyrus's eyes were almost wide open from the window.
Finally, Orus flipped over and fell asleep lying on his back.
Cyrus moved his ears, stood up, half lowered his body, and slowly walked out of the bushes. Calvin and Charlie followed Cyrus's example, walking cautiously without making any sound. Just as the three cheetahs walked about fifty meters, Cyrus turned around and looked back, almost scared out of his wits.
At some point, Orus had already woken up and stood on the rock, staring at the three cheetahs in an instant. The shadow from the tree canopy covered his face. Cyrus didn't know what the lion's expression was now, but he couldn't just watch him and the two little cheetahs leave with a smile on his face.
Sure enough, the next moment, Orus walked down from the rock.
"Listen, Dad will distract him later. You two run towards yesterday's swamp, find a place to hide, Dad will find you!"
Two cheetahs obediently turned around and crawled into the tall grass. Cyrus stared closely at Orus, and as he accelerated, he turned and ran in the other direction, making provocative calls as he ran. In fact, even if Cyrus didn't bark, Orus would come after him instead of the two cheetahs.
Orus has a deep impression of Cyrus. The behavior of this evolved cheetah is very interesting, and it can kill a hyena alone. Orus is not interested in killing him now, but rather wants to find some fun from him.
Cyrus has experience of being chased by Orus, and this male lion cannot be inferred by common sense. It has great endurance when running. But if he doesn't run, there won't be any chance of escape. For now, all he can do is run.
The only advantage of Cyrus is that cheetahs are accustomed to being active during the day and often hunt at noon. Lions, on the other hand, are more active in hunting at night. On scorching days, most lions like to sleep soundly.
Cyrus tried his best to expend Orus's energy without paying attention to the direction of his run. When he regained his senses, he had already run into a canyon.
From a distance, the canyon was filled with smoke and dust, and in fact, it was a pearl chicken digging and eating seeds in the soil.
Cyrus crashed into it, and Orus followed closely behind him. The guinea pig was frightened by the sudden appearance of cheetahs and lions, and ran around, waking up the owner of the territory with its cries.
On a tall fig tree, lurking assassins in the dark, amidst the dense foliage, the pale golden eyes conceal a bloodthirsty aura.
Orus was getting closer and closer to Cyrus. Cyrus panicked and rushed up to the nearest fig tree. The cheetah's paws couldn't retract and became increasingly dull with age, making them not good at climbing trees. But on the way to escape, Cyrus's explosive power was astonishing. He firmly grasped the smooth trunk of the fig tree and climbed up to the top of the tree in three leaps and two leaps.
Orus could only stand under the tree and sigh at the leopard.
The desire for an adult lion to climb trees, especially this tall fig tree, is pure fantasy.
Orus circled the tree twice, and as long as Cyrus didn't come down, he had no choice. The temperature is getting higher and higher, and the male lion running for a long time needs to find a cool place to rest, otherwise it is likely to suffer from heatstroke.
Moreover, he smelled a detestable smell here and looked around to be more certain of whose territory it was. Although the leopard was nothing to the lion, Monty, the male leopard living near Orus territory, was not so easy to deal with. That fierce male leopard can even kill a pronghorn antelope.
Orus stayed for a while before leaving. Anyway, this cheetah lives in his territory, and one day he will bump into it
Cyrus lay on the branch, nervously staring at Orus's every move until he was certain that he had really left before daring to gasp for breath.
"Can be considered as leaving..."
"Is that right?"
Hmm?!
Cyrus was startled and quickly turned his head to see Monty, the leopard, almost completely pressed against him, with his two front legs confined to both sides of his body. The beard on the side of his face and the fangs in his mouth were clearly visible.
Cyrus turned around stiffly, deceiving himself that it was an illusion. In the next moment, the tactile sensation from his ears completely shattered his imagination.
Monty sniffed Cyrus and licked the back of Cyrus's ear, his voice low and magnetic like before. "You don't want to say anything to me?"
Cyrus remains silent.
"If you don't speak up, I'll assume you're happy."
Willing for what?
Monty suddenly bit Cyrus on the back of his neck, lowering his body. Cyrus was startled and instinctively struggled, only to realize later that their current posture seemed disharmonious!
A hooligan just walked under the tree, and another hooligan ran into the tree!
Moreover, this leopard looks like a rogue on par with that lion!
What's going on when the target of the hooligans is still themselves?!
