Lion King's Adopted Son

Chapter 1

A gust of wind blew past, and the dense grass was blown to one side.

On the grassland, several lionesses were quietly approaching the gazelle drinking water by the river, and this was their chosen target today.They restrained their footsteps, quietly approached their prey under the cover of grass, and suddenly launched an offensive when they were less than two meters away from the lone adult gazelle.

Soon, the gazelle fell unwillingly in a pool of blood, and the lionesses put their front paws on the gazelle and uttered a long cry, calling for the male lions and their cubs to come and eat.

Lion Ghana is a mighty and robust lion, and he and his brother Lane are the undisputed rulers of the pride of nine lionesses.After coming to the prey, Garner and Ryan enjoyed the prey unceremoniously, chewing on the fresh blood of the gazelle, while the lionesses stood beside them, waiting quietly for the two male lions After eating, go to enjoy your own portion.When it was the turn of the cubs, there were not many prey left.

At this time, the strong and older lion cubs swarmed up, directly and brutally pushing their weaker siblings aside, chewing on their prey, not even leaving the dregs to them.A young lion cub unwillingly threw himself at his elder brother's feet, trying to stop him from eating alone and gain some benefits for himself, but his elder brother clawed him away without hesitation. Even the lion mother saw In this scene, I didn't say much.

The male lions Garner and Ryan were full and wandered leisurely in their territory, patrolling their territory like pampered kings.Lionesses are responsible for hunting and breeding, while male lions are responsible for defending the territory and defeating intruders when there are intruders. The division of labor in the lion group has always been like this.

In a bush not far from the lions, a fluffy yellow head suddenly popped out, with pointed ears, and a pair of round tawny eyes staring at its surroundings vigilantly. It looked around. He listened, moving his ears from time to time, unwilling to let go of even the slightest sign of trouble.

Jela is also a cub in this Ghana and Lane pride, but he doesn't get the same treatment as the other cubs.Jela's mother, Lily, is not a lioness of this pride, but an exotic lioness. No one knows where she came from, but she is indeed very different from the lioness of the Ghana and Lane lions.Lily was once marginalized because she was not related to other lionesses in the pride.Fortunately, she is very capable of hunting, and Garner likes her. Although the other lionesses are reluctant, they still accept Lily for the sake of the increasingly abundant food.

Soon, Lily became pregnant, and unlike other lionesses who gave birth to two to five cubs per litter, Lily gave birth to only one cub, which she named Jela.Today, it has been three years since Jela was born. According to the age of a lion, it should be considered an adult, but it still looks thin and small and has not grown up. Even its six-month-old sister looks younger than a lion. It's stronger.Lily is different, and Gerald is a complete freak.Because of this, the mother and son were once again rejected by the lions, and even Garner began to talk to Lily and no longer favored him in the past.

Although she is no longer favored by male lions, Lily's hunting ability is still there.Lily was able to support her and her young even when she was away from the pride and foraging alone.With Lily around, Gera would never be hungry. Gera never had to worry about food until she was two and a half years old.The good times didn't last long. During a fight against a rhino, Lily was surrounded by three adult male rhinos because the other lionesses in the pride couldn't cooperate well with Lily.

Lily is dead.Losing the protection of his mother, Jelah, who had no ability to survive alone, soon followed his mother, and at this moment, a person who unfortunately caught up with the tide crossed the body of Jara who had just died.People who used to sit in an office now have to run around for their own livelihood, carefully following around the lions every day, hoping to catch mistakes.There is nothing honorable about eating other people's leftovers, but everything is tolerated for the sake of survival.

Jela knew that the Ghanaian lions would definitely not welcome it.Lionesses can't have enough food for their own children. Who would want a lion who has no blood to compete with their own children for food?What's more, if you don't look at its appearance, at its three-year-old age, it is enough for Garner and Ryan to kick it out of the lions to be self-reliant.But judging from Jella's young body and immature paws, if he is expelled from the lion pride, it may not be long before he becomes a delicious meal for hyenas.Although Ghana doesn't like Jela, he is not cruel enough to deliberately let his child leave the lions to die. As for Jela, he uses the prestige of the lions to protect himself from other creatures and follows the lions from time to time. If he missed it, he turned a blind eye.

But some lionesses sensed the little tails behind them, and began to whisper: "Look, the little one who is not big is following here again. He is already three years old, but he has no sharp teeth and claws, and he can't hunt. I really don't know how long we will keep it!"

"Dear sister, please don't say a few words. After all, it is also a child of Garner." Another lioness licked its paw, and said lazily: "Unless Garner speaks, I think it will have to keep going." follow us."

The Ghanaian lions left slowly after enjoying their feast.Jela looked at the pile of broken bones not far away, knowing that it would not be able to pick up ready-made ones today.The breath of the lions is constantly going away, but the smell of blood has not dissipated.Gera cautiously left the place along the grass. Soon, some animals attracted by the smell of blood should come to try their luck.Now, even a jackal can easily defeat Gera.

Jella's little claws were not too sharp, not much better than a kitten's claws.It is still very difficult to let it pounce on itself to hunt.Based on the survival experience of traveling for nearly half a year, Jela selected an area where wild rabbits often move, and dug a pit with her front paws.Because the force was not well controlled, a piece of dug-up soil hit Jella's little head, and Jella shook his head to shake the dirt off.Now, it looks ashamed, no different from a tabby cat.

After scratching his head with his front paws, Jela lay down on the ground again and continued digging.

Dig traps on the ground, and then sprinkle soft soil and grass on the traps, so that the land looks no different from other lands, and lure unsuspecting little rabbits into the traps. Often do work.Besides that, Gera clumsily tied a few grass knots with her claws at the side of the trap.If the rabbits do not pass over its trap, but walk on the path where the knot is, they will trip over it.

After doing all this, Jiela stood against the wind, carefully hiding his breath.With what little wisdom was once human, Gera barely supported herself during this time.Today, however, Gera's luck seems to have come to an end.

Five rabbits, a total of five rabbits passed through the trap set by Gera, but none of them fell into the net set by Gera.

"Oh, look, that nasty stinky lion is here again! Last time my neighbors Mr. and Mrs. Ace died in its hands! I really don't understand, can't the food hunted by the lions not stop it Why does it always come to stare at us, God, I hope it will be taken away by the hyena sooner! It is a nasty bastard!" One of the gray rabbits bared its teeth at Jara angrily.

"Having a lion here, even a cub, is enough to make me uneasy-will its lions be around here?" The mother rabbit with her baby looked worried.

"Come on! If it can move with the lions, there is no need to keep an eye on us! In my opinion, it is probably abandoned by some lions." Cover up your schadenfreude.

"Oh, it's a poor unlucky creature!" Mr. Gray Rabbit sighed without sincerity: "However, I would rather it be snatched away by hounds earlier, or trampled to death by elephants!"

"So there won't be any adult lions around it?"

"Of course."

"Honey, look in front of you, what's that?"

Just then, the wind changed direction.Several rabbits felt a dangerous breath with endless blood and violence, they immediately shrank their necks, and stopped their forward steps.

"Oh no—a grown male lion!"

The rabbits turned around quickly and ran in the opposite direction desperately, no longer paying attention to Jella who was cursed by them.Jela, who was left behind by them, looked dumbfounded at the majestic adult lion in front of him striding forward, then stepped into the trap he dug, and his right half of his body sank due to loss of balance.

This is an adult male lion with brown mane. His vigorous limbs and majestic body look full of strength, which is not inferior to Garner and Ryan.At this moment he let out a fooled angry roar, the sound was sharper than the honking of the car that was close at hand, and Jella bristled all over his body, stood up, and covered himself with his front paws ears.

When the male lion fixed its bloodthirsty eyes on Gera, it seemed that Gera saw the smile of Death. Its scalp was numb, and there was a trembling feeling that even its tail would explode.

Gela's trap may be deep enough for hares, but it's only a matter of time before a grown male lion breaks free.As soon as the lion gets out of the trap, he will be finished!Jela simply threw all the useless knots around him at the lion, tripped him up, and then found a tree that was thick enough nearby, and turned into a two- or three-year-old child and crawled. up.

This is a secret that belongs to Gera. Among the lions in Ghana and Ryan, only he and the dead Lily have the ability to become human.I don't know if it is because of this reason that his growth is extremely slow.Now, except for the ears and tail, Jela looks exactly like a human child.

During the process of Gera climbing up the tree, the angry male lion has already used his brute force to break away from the many troubles that Gera caused him, and quickly rushed under the tree. He held his head high, as if he wanted to bite Gera The tail that hadn't been retracted in time brought him down the tree.Jerah was so frightened that the tip of his tail turned up, and he climbed up the tree desperately. God knows how his small arms and legs managed to do so quickly. When he thought about it afterwards, Jerah himself couldn't believe it.

After climbing to the branch of the tree and sitting firmly, Jela was relieved.It was at this moment that it noticed that it had left the territory of the Ghanaian lions.If nothing else, this should be the territory of the Pascal Lions, a close neighbor of the Ghanaian Lions.In Jela's distant and vague memory, Pascal's lions were not easy to mess with, because it is said that Pascal, who came from the other side of the river, had fought with the two Garner brothers for the current territory.In the end, the Pascal pride encroached on more than half of the Ghanaian pride's territory.

Hearing the depressive roar from the male lion, Jela gradually felt a sense of fear.

The lion it offended was Pascal?

If even Garner and Ryan have been defeated by this lion, then I am afraid that no one can save it from the lion's wrath.

Gera touched her flat stomach and lay upright on the tree.Its life, no, why is the life of a lion so difficult?If you haven't enjoyed the prestige of being a lion king, you will be buried here.

Also, it's really hungry.

Pascal has been lingering under the tree, and Gera has been unable to leave.At this time, it had not eaten for two days, and its stomach made waves of protest.The wind at night was a bit chilly. Not long after climbing the tree, Jela turned back into the form of a lion. In order to reduce energy consumption, it curled up and almost rolled itself into a ball.

Pascal looked at the pitiful appearance of the little ball of fur on the tree, and most of the anger in his heart disappeared.

At this time, a passing rabbit was caught by Pascal, and the lion's sharp claws instantly disemboweled the rabbit.The enticing fragrance came from under the tree, and Jella couldn't help sniffling.Such a little rabbit is no doubt not enough for an adult lion, but for Gera, it is a hearty meal.For a moment Gerald almost wanted to rush down the tree regardless and take the hare.But when facing the dangerous pair of golden eyes under the tree, Jiela withered again, drooping his head and retracting the front paws he had just stepped out.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but the lion under the tree showed a playful expression when he saw Jella's appearance, stood up, and took a few steps back.Soon, Gera could no longer smell the lion.But Gera knew that the hateful lion must not have gone far.For experienced lions, it is not difficult to use the wind direction to temporarily hide their scent.Did the lion think he was a fool who would fall for any bait?

I don't know how long it has passed, the smell of blood stimulates Jela's taste buds all the time, and the lion never comes back.Jela's heart was itchy as if being torn apart by countless bugs.Even though he knew it was not a good idea to go down the tree now, the all-pervasive hunger overwhelmed him, and at the same time, the luck that the lion had left was welling up in his heart.

No matter, if this continues, it will starve to death before being torn apart by the lion.If the hare was just a trap, then it would admit it, and even if it wanted to die, it would have to be a dead ghost.

The cub jumped down the tree with a sharp sound. It first looked around vigilantly, and when it found that there was no movement around, it tentatively nudged the hare with its nose. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, it quickly jumped up and yelled. Stuttered.After gnawing the hare, it licked its lips, squinted its eyes and showed a happy smile.Afterwards, the little thing carefully retreated back to the territory of Garner and Ryan lions along the boundary line.

Looking at the small figure gradually going away, Xiongshi's golden eyes showed a thoughtful look.
