Chapter 19 The Lion Returns
Chapter Nineteen: The Lion Returns
So the queen summoned the hyenas back.
As subjects, it is only natural to obey the king's summons. Every hyena must absolutely obey the queen's commands. If they resist, they will be bitten and eaten.
Now the hyenas have been summoned back by the Queen, but they have terrified Lisa and Elsa so much that they dare not challenge them again.
Unfortunately, with the Queen personally taking charge this time, they had no choice but to comply.
And so, the pack of hyenas once again surrounded Lisa and Elsa.
"oh oh!---"
To boost morale, the hyena queen first shouted at her subordinates, as if to encourage them.
Upon hearing the queen's cry, the dozen or so hyenas immediately turned red with rage.
They charged at Lisa and Elsa once again, fearlessly.
Lisa and Elsa dared not slack off either, and a new round of battle began.
Two lionesses and more than ten hyenas are once again fighting for survival and food in this area.
It no longer matters who is right and who is wrong; what matters is that they both want to kill each other so that they can live.
Seeing that the two sides were fighting again, Chu Ye had no choice but to sneak out of the bushes and hide in the big tree.
This time, Chu Ye had no other choice. He had already used all his previous tricks and couldn't use them again.
Chu Ye had no idea whether the two lionesses could defeat the dozen or so hyenas this time.
However, he felt that his mother and aunt would have a hard time winning, because this time, Nira herself was taking the field.
She is the hyena queen, the strongest and most intelligent hyena in the entire hyena pack.
"What are we going to do? If Mom and Aunt can't beat these dozen or so hyenas, they're doomed. And if they're doomed, the other nine lion cubs will be doomed too."
For a moment, Chu Ye felt extremely anxious, because the situation was truly critical.
With the hyena queen herself in the fray, the hyenas became even more ferocious than before. This time, they were going all out, determined to fight the two lionesses to the death.
Chu Ye jumped around on the big tree, pondering what else he could do.
The other lion cubs huddled in the bushes, trembling with fear. They, too, seemed to be afraid of their future.
"Where's the lion! Why hasn't the lion returned yet!"
Chu Ye suddenly remembered that the lion that had gone out to patrol the territory since he got up in the morning had not returned yet.
"Could it be that Zeke has also run into trouble? Could something have happened to it?"
Chu Ye didn't dare to think any further. If the male lion also met with misfortune, or perhaps it had already been defeated by another nomadic male lion, then this pride would be doomed. These nine lion cubs would soon be killed by the new lion king.
Although Chu Ye has managed to evade the new Lion King's pursuit for the time being, can he stay in the tree forever? If he returns to the ground, wouldn't that be very dangerous?
Standing on the big tree, Chu Ye was extremely anxious. On one hand, he was worried about the safety of his mother and aunt. On the other hand, he was also worried about Jike's safety. He felt that he was on the verge of a breakdown.
"What can I do? Am I just supposed to leave it to fate?"
Chu Ye was pondering how to solve the problem at hand.
"No, I should go find the Lion King Jik. Only he can save this pride now. If he doesn't come back, Lisa and Aisha are probably in grave danger."
Chu Ye was very worried as he looked at the situation on the battlefield.
Although Lisa and Aisha were still struggling, they had both been injured in several places. Under Queen Nira's command, the dozen or so hyenas all unleashed astonishing fighting power.
Furthermore, five or six of them, who had just eaten the corpses of their companions, now seem to have immediately increased their fighting power.
After a dozen minutes of fighting, Lisa and Aisha were only able to defend themselves and had no power to fight back. Under Queen Nira's command, more than a dozen hyenas pressed towards Lisa and Aisha like a wall, with overwhelming force.
The situation was extremely critical, and Chu Ye was frantic with worry. He wondered if he should go and find the Lion King Jike and bring it back.
But Chu Ye thought to himself that what he was doing was futile. First of all, a pride of lions has a very large territory, at least tens of square kilometers.
In such a vast area, isn't it difficult to find a lion? Although male lions are very large, in the vast grasslands, they are just like tiny ants.
"No, if I go looking for it, I might not find a male lion and I'll be doomed. It's the dry season now, and there are just too many predators trying to eat lion cubs. I'm still too weak. If I leave this place and go somewhere else, wouldn't that be very dangerous? I could run into another predator at any moment and become their prey."
Chu Ye thought it over and over and felt that he could not go looking for the Lion King Jike, because it would be completely futile. Not only would he not find Jike, but he might also lose his life first.
"Aww!—"
At this critical moment, a lion's roar suddenly came from the south.
A magnificent lion, its long mane flying, ran from afar.
This male lion is none other than Jike.
When Chu Ye heard the lion's roar, he quickly turned around and saw Jike running towards him. He was so excited that he couldn't even describe it.
The lion has returned, its domineering presence irresistible.
The dozen or so hyenas were stunned when they heard the lion's roar.
They were about to defeat Lisa and Elsa, and it looked like they could drive the two lionesses away or kill them.
Unfortunately, at that moment, the lion returned, roaring as it charged at the pack of hyenas that were attacking its two wives.
The dozen or so hyenas were terrified when they saw the enormous male lion and fled in panic.
"oh oh!---"
Although Queen Nira was also very scared, she did not run away.
Instead of fleeing, it summoned the hyenas that had already escaped, urging them to return and continue fighting.
The hyenas that had originally wanted to escape had no choice but to return when they heard the queen's call.
Chu Ye was very puzzled by the Hyena Queen's actions.
Logically, under such circumstances, Nira should have fled with her men. How could she possibly continue fighting? Wasn't she afraid of the lion?
