Lion Lianmeng

"We're not here to grab territory, we'll leave after a short rest."

After eating the bison, Enrique opened his mouth first, and howled at the three brothers.He knew in his heart that he and his injured uncle alone were no match for the three young and powerful lion brothers. Although if he left his uncle and ran away, the three brothers would not be able to catch up, but he had no intention of throwing his uncle away for the time being.In this way, if you don't want to fight to the death, you can only show weakness and negotiate.

His uncle gritted his teeth with a piece of ox bone, and stared at the three lion brothers with a pair of long and narrow eyes, but said nothing.

The two-color lion king seemed to have no objection to his nephew's decision, but he was vigilant and guarded all over.

Because of the buffalo feast for nothing, the expressions of the three Xiongshi brothers softened a little.

But none of them agreed to Enrique's request of 'resting for a while'.

"No." Allen's reason was very traditional and formal: "Unknown lions are never allowed to spend the night in the lion's territory."

"No." Timmy's reasons were relatively nonsensical: "My sheep, my cows, my horses, my deer...all agree."

In the end, Andre disagreed.

His reason was: "...you don't look like a serious lion."

Excuse me, what does a decent lion look like?

There are also sheep, cattle, red deer and so on. What does it have to do with lions?

Enrique jumped up for a moment, and had a big debate with the three wonderful brothers, but...

Now the situation is not up to the lion, the enemy is strong and the enemy is weak, so he can only act like a lion with his tail between his legs. After thinking about it, he patiently explained back and forth, "I don't want to grab the territory, so let my uncle stay here for a few days to raise his wounds."

The three Xiongshi brothers looked at each other with strange expressions on their faces.

In the world of lions, there has never been a saying of respecting the old and loving the young. Once the child grows up, uncles and fathers will always only have one sentence: "drive out"; Most of the thoughts with Dad are not about hello, me, everyone, but they are staring at each other, thinking about beating Uncle and Dad violently every day, and usurping the throne in advance!

Therefore, Enrique's behavior of wandering and bringing his own injured uncle with him really made the lion puzzled.

But maybe it's because of the cooked lion, maybe it's because he wandered around and brought his uncle with him, maybe it's because of Enrique's high affinity...

In short, the three lion brothers finally reluctantly agreed to his request to stay for a day or two.

However, they have a requirement that during the few days of their stay, Enrique must pay for food every day.

Timmy asked the price simply and rudely: "Three days, three cows."

Enrique was speechless: "...the lion opened his mouth."

So the lions got together and started a fierce bargaining.

In the end, they reached the deal with the price of 'two zebras for three days'.

From the beginning to the end, Enrique's uncle did not speak, and seemed to completely give up the initiative to his nephew.

But Enrique always felt a little respect for his uncle, not like a lion who was in charge of his own house.

So, after the deal was concluded, in order to satisfy his curiosity, Timmy ran to gossip with Enrique: "What's wrong with you? How did you get mixed up like this? Did you encounter a strong enemy? Your What about the other uncle?"

Enrique hesitated for a moment before answering him: "It is true that we encountered a strong enemy, but we are not all because of a strong enemy. Another uncle, Uncle Booker, starved to death during the dry season."

What the hell!

The three Xiongshi brothers were really shocked: "Starved to death?"

If it was said that they died in defeat, the three brothers would definitely not be so shocked.

But a good lion will starve to death?

Even Timmy, who took the initiative to ask questions, was a little embarrassed: "Huh? Starved to death? Are you too picky eaters, don't you have nothing on the territory? Actually, you can learn from me, there are no bison, but sheep , Deer, and horses are also good."

Not to mention Enrique, even the only remaining two-color lion king looked up at him with an extremely complicated expression.

In human terms, it would probably be 'why not eat minced meat'.

However, due to the relationship with Jishi Lixia, Enrique still explained the ins and outs of the matter a little sadly.

The previous dry season was more tragic than the three lion brothers could have imagined.

This is the worst drought ever recorded on the grasslands.

It is so serious that the water sources that survived the dry season in the past have also dried up in this dry season.

Therefore, the original territories of the three brothers, including the territories of some lion kings around them, are all in severe drought crisis.

Among them, the territory of the two-color lion king was also included.

Because the three male lion brothers migrated early, they followed herbivores all the way, and Andre, a cheater, followed them. Therefore, although they traveled long distances and suffered from hunger and hunger, they were able to catch prey most of the time. Fill their stomachs, and sometimes, under the leadership of herbivores, they can find some water sources to quench their thirst.

It can be said that from the beginning to the end, hard work is hard work, but the days can barely be called heaven.

But on the other side, it is completely hell-like survival difficulty.

Under the scorching sun, the land is dry and cracked, the water source is dry, and the vegetation is withered and yellow. The lions don't even have a shade to sleep in. They can only be exposed to the sun every day. Large areas of hair fall off their bodies, and some of their skin is reddened by the sun.Moreover, all the herbivores that can migrate have migrated away, and the territory has become empty.As a result, long-term lack of water and insufficient food, the lions become weaker day by day, their strength gradually disappears from their bodies, their bodies are like broken machines, their joints are sore, and their hair is not as shiny as before. .

When every disaster occurs, nature will always take the lead in weeding out the old, weak, sick and disabled.

Therefore, in the beginning, the cubs of the lion pride were the first to be starved to death. The lionesses were so hungry that they had no milk to feed them, and considering their age, they could not digest meat, not to mention that there was no surplus. Then there are some older lions with wounds on their bodies... The two-color lion king just belongs to the latter, they are old and sick.

Booker and Boone, the twin lion kings, fell ill at the same time.

The lions themselves couldn't explain exactly what the disease was, but it was vomiting, weakness, hair loss, and being unable to get up on the ground.

If you analyze it carefully, it should be some minor illnesses caused by hunger and thirst, weakness, and weakened immunity.

Under normal circumstances, these minor illnesses are nothing to lions at all. Generally, strong male lions have very tenacious vitality. After a week or two, the toxicity will dissipate on its own, and when it stands up, it will be a good lion again.

But in the dry season, there is no way to eat and drink enough, and it will not give the lions time to rest, take care of their bodies, and resist illness.

Among the lions at that time, Enrique was the only healthy male lion left. In order to fill his stomach, he even went hunting hard with the lionesses, hoping to catch more prey and let his uncles eat a little. past.

But at that time, the grassland was empty, even if he had a super powerful hunting ability, he couldn't use it without prey.

With less and less food, the condition of the twin brothers, the two-color lion king, became more and more serious.

The younger brother Boone soon fell into a coma and sometimes became conscious. Then, the older brother Booker began to go on a hunger strike, force-feeding the scarce food to his younger brother.In the end, the younger brother Boone made it through and healed, but the older brother Booker couldn't.

All the way down, Enrique didn't talk too much about the hard things in the dry season. The lion is not very good at expressing emotions, and his tone is dry.

But in just a few words, Timmy realized how wise they were to make a decisive decision to break the tradition and migrate.

Thinking of the two-color Lion King brothers actually having such a tragic ending...

Timmy approached Andre a little uneasily, and then glanced at Alan with a silly expression. He didn't feel at ease until he was sure that his brothers were by his side.

Andre was always the first to notice Timmy's emotions.

He licked his younger brother's round ears, didn't speak, but had a full sense of presence, which especially reassured the lion.

Timmy rubbed his lush black mane and immediately settled down.

When it came to this point, Enrique just remembered something and said suddenly: "By the way, the situation of your original lion pride, even the warthog lion pride, is not very good. I heard that several females died of starvation." lion."

Timmy's almond eyes widened in surprise, but he didn't mean to ask in detail.

The same goes for Allen and Andre.

Obviously, after those female lions refused to migrate with them and refused to obey the orders of the lion king, the three male lion brothers regarded them as strange lions.

Enrique also noticed that they were not interested, so he skipped this paragraph tactfully and continued to talk about his experience with his uncle: "After the dry season, I spent a relatively peaceful day with Uncle Boone who had just recovered. But because Booker Uncle is gone, and Uncle Boone and I have a lack of tacit understanding, resulting in a decline in combat effectiveness. As a result, many stray lions have appeared to covet our territory. They will come to challenge every day..."

"So, you were defeated by a stray lion?" Timmy guessed curiously, shaking his ears.

"No, those who challenged were defeated by Uncle Boone and me until we met a strong alliance." Enrique sighed and said: "Although the arrival of the dry season has caused many lions to lose their troops and lose their strength. However, there are also some lions, because the water source in the territory is not cut off, and there is no shortage of food, they instead recharge their batteries and take the opportunity to expand their territories."

Timmy wrinkled his little nose and followed him and asked, "Why is the lion so insidious and cunning, taking advantage of the lion's danger?"

Enrique replied with a heavy tone: "Makamo Lions Alliance, have you heard of it? Carl with black mane and Casa with golden mane, those are two very powerful lions."

The Three Lion Brothers: Uh... how powerful is my father? !
