Chapter Eight: The Lion Brothers
Seeing the invading lion flee, Chu Ye finally felt a weight lifted from his heart. However, he knew that such a thing would soon happen again.
There are many wandering male lions on the grasslands, and they are always thinking about defeating a lion king and becoming the lion king themselves.
Especially during the dry season, the nomadic male lions become restless, eager to become the lion king in order to survive. This is because food is scarce during the dry season, making life difficult for carnivores that rely on hunting alone.
Generally, during the dry season, nomadic male lions have only two choices: either form a hunting alliance with other male lions, or defeat a lion king and become the lion king themselves.
Being the lion king is great; having many lionesses to serve him is the ultimate dream for any nomadic male lion.
But becoming king is certainly not easy. The vast majority of nomadic male lions will never realize this dream in their lifetime.
They can only form hunting alliances with other nomadic male lions during the dry season and live a solitary life.
Among these nomadic lion groups, there is one group that should not be underestimated.
This combination is the Lion Brothers combination.
As the saying goes, "When brothers are of one mind, their strength can break metal."
Among wandering lions, this kind of combination is the most formidable. Because such a combination, bound by kinship, is clearly much more reliable than one not bound by kinship.
For a lion pride with only one alpha male, a pair of male lion brothers poses the greatest threat. A single male lion can hardly withstand an attack from two.
Lions that can become kings are all very strong and tall. But as the saying goes, two hands can't fight four hands, and a fierce tiger can't fight off a pack of wolves.
No matter how powerful a single lion king is, it cannot defeat two strong male lions.
Therefore, a lion king might not take a single male lion's invasion seriously. However, if two male lions invade together, it becomes a nightmare for a single lion king.
When a nomadic male lion chooses to invade a pride, it will naturally choose those prides that are not very strong, such as the Jike pride, which is only led by a single male lion.
Furthermore, the pride only had two lionesses, making it a rather weak pride. This is precisely why the previously wandering male lion was so eager to attack the Zeke pride.
Because he felt that this pride of lions was the easiest to bully.
However, the Jike pride had a special cub. This cub successfully repelled the invading male lion, allowing the Jike pride to survive the ordeal.
However, Chu Ye knew very well that such calamities often occurred during the dry season.
He felt that the reason why the previous stray male lion wanted to invade the Zeke pride so quickly was because it sensed that the pride was not very strong and it was confident that it could defeat Zeke and take over the weak pride.
That's exactly right. Before invading the Jike pride, the nomadic male lion observed the surrounding prides and found that only the Jike pride was relatively weak, while the other prides were quite powerful.
That's why the stray male lion decided to invade the Jike pride.
Chu Ye had already guessed the reason for this.
He sensed that their pride might face many invasions from nomadic male lions in the future. After all, their pride was too weak, making them the perfect target for such invasions.
For Chu Ye, his biggest worry was that his pride of lions would be invaded by his male lion brothers. Because that would be very dangerous.
If it were a lone stray male lion, he could use the same tactics to drive it away. But if it were two male lions, his previous tactics would probably be ineffective.
"What should I do if the lion brothers invade?"
Chu Ye had been pondering this matter for the past few days, but he still couldn't come up with a solution. However, this situation still arose very quickly.
Sure enough, after a few days of peace in Chu Ye's pride, new troubles arose. Zeke had only rested for three days when new challengers appeared.
It was still early morning, and the entire pride of lions was still asleep. Suddenly, a roar from a male lion woke them all up.
Upon hearing this, Chu Ye quickly climbed out of the bushes. He only glanced into the distance and felt the fur on his back stand on end.
Two strong, wandering male lions approached from a distance, clearly intending to challenge King Zeke. They roared at Zeke as they walked.
Now, not only was Chu Ye's fur standing on end, but Zeke's was too. Chu Ye even saw that the mane on Zeke's neck was about to stand on end.
Two strong male lions are preparing to challenge Zeke, a situation that Zeke probably often dreams about.
Some solitary male lions, faced with such a situation, would likely have to flee. Because no matter how strong a single male lion is, it cannot defeat two equally strong, wandering male lions.
Therefore, many cowardly lion kings, when faced with an invasion by their male lion brothers, would flee at the first sign of trouble, daring not to confront them at all. After all, even if they couldn't become lion kings, they couldn't just go and die.
But Zeke clearly had no intention of running away; it seemed to be a very courageous lion. Perhaps his recent victory over a strong, wandering male lion had given him more courage.
Of course, the reason Zeke was able to defeat that wandering lion so easily last time was mainly due to Chu Ye's help. Without Chu Ye's help, Zeke would have had a very difficult time winning, or at least it wouldn't have been so easy.
Regardless, Zeke had won last time, which gave it some courage, allowing it to face two strong, wandering male lions head-on.
Of course, Zeke might think that he is still young, and that Lisa and Elsa would not stand idly by and would definitely help.
Regardless, Jike is truly a man. Facing two strong male lion brothers, it did not back down but roared and walked towards them.
Looking at Jike Xiongshi's firm strides, Chu Ye also felt proud of himself as the lion king's father.
"Well done, like a real man!" Chu Ye thought to himself.
Lisa and Aisha watched as Zeke walked towards the two male lions. They both stood up, watching Zeke with tense expressions. Clearly, they also realized that the situation was extremely serious.
Chu Ye watched as the lion father walked fearlessly toward the two stray lions, and he felt extremely nervous. After all, no matter how brave Jike was, a single lion could not defeat two strong stray lions.
