Lion King's Adopted Son

In the face of an angry lion, even the most valiant hyena has to avoid its edge.

What's more, there are only three hyenas, and there is absolutely no way to pose a threat to the male lions in terms of force or number.

Hyenas dare to kill lion cubs and can compete with adult lions, but they are not willing to confront adult lions unless necessary, whether it is a mighty male lion or a female who is a good hunter. lion.

Before Pascal they retreated, they left their prey and fled.This is not the first time they have done this kind of thing. The Natalie hyena group they used to live in was driven away by the new lion king Pascal of this land.Losing the inherent territory of the hyena group, the hyena leader Natalie's prestige among the hyena group has decreased a lot. Soon, Nardelli took her place.

When the hyena group was being continuously integrated, the three of them, as loyal supporters of the former leader Natalie, were also driven out of the hyena group.They cannot hunt in the territory newly occupied by the ethnic group. As outsiders, they cannot touch the interests of the local hyena group. In order to survive, they can only run on the edge of the territory of the two lion groups and the hyena group.

Because they want to avoid the lions and their kin, they even changed the hunting time to noon-at this time, lions usually sleep in their dens to avoid the scorching sun from burning their hair, and hyenas also like to sleep at night. action.

Who can tell them what happened to the roaring lion behind them?They had never heard such an angry voice from Pascal. Even when he chased away Natalie's hyena group, he was majestic and calm.And just now... when they heard Pascal's roar, they almost thought that they would be torn to pieces by him the next moment.

The angry male lion looked at the cub with its head slumped to the ground, unable to even stand up, with cold eyes.He didn't pay too much attention to the fleeing hyenas. Anyway, he had remembered their smells, and their deaths were just

He stepped forward, leaned down and licked the dying lion cub. He was not sure if he had come a little later, would he have seen a pile of minced meat? This is a rare little guy that interested him .

The little guy glanced at him weakly, and closed his eyes again. Only from the slight trembling of the pale yellow fur, could he feel that it was still alive.The male lion simply squatted down, and carefully licked the wounds for the cub, first the eyes, then the back, as carefully as taking a bath for it.Perhaps even lionesses are less meticulous when it comes to bathing their young.

Feeling the lion's thick and warm tongue moving over her wound, Jela felt a sense of embarrassment.Although it is known that licking is a common phenomenon in the animal world to heal wounds, it still cannot adapt.

So close.This distance, this gesture, has exceeded the range it can tolerate.

Also, has anyone ever seen a male lion licking a lion cub?This is usually the job of the lionesses.Has anyone ever seen a male lion lick other lion's cubs instead of rushing forward and killing them?It's just ridiculous.

But now, Gera has no choice.How do you get a lion cub so badly injured that he can't even stand up to protest a grown male lion?At least Gera thinks it can't be done.

Therefore, it could only let Pascal pick itself up. Considering its size, it was pitifully small in front of Pascal. Pascal could swallow it with just one bite.Even though he knew that since Pascal had saved him, he would not end his life right away, but this posture of life safety being threatened at any time still made Gera very disturbed.

As if sensing the trembling under the fur of the little thing he was holding, Pascal raised his front paws, and transformed into a human form in a golden radiance.He held Gera up to his face: "Hey, calm down, you little guy. You don't want the wound to get bigger, do you?" This is a tall, fit and strong man.The contrast of strength was too great, and Jella looked like a plush toy in his hands.

However, now Gera can't care about these anymore, it nestled in Pascal's arms, gave him a weak look, and didn't even have the energy to speak.The bloody smell on its body has attracted many hidden hunters nearby, but they are afraid to go forward because of the male lion.

This feeling of being coveted makes Jira uncomfortable.Similarly, the strong and aggressive aura emanating from Pascal's body also made it feel oppressed and intimidated.But it has nothing to do, and now it is just prey to the hunters on the grassland.

Pascal could feel Gera's discomfort, he stretched out his hand to stroke the soft fur on its head, restrained his breath slightly: "You are a dishonest little guy..."

Gera buried her head in Pascal's arms and quietly rolled her eyes.

"It's really unimaginable. How could a quirky little guy like you directly fight three adult male hyenas? Do you think that the god of luck will always favor you, huh? Little guy who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth?"

Jera's eyes almost rolled into dead fish eyes now.

Who would want to bite those three hyenas if they could?It never thinks of itself as a superman or the protagonist of the hot-blooded comics.To ask such a stupid question, is this male lion mentally retarded?

Suddenly, Jela's neck felt cold for a while, and before it could adjust its expression, Pascal picked it up: "You're scolding me in your heart again, aren't you? Hey, don't play dumb, I saw your expression!"

"..."

"It's useless to play dead." Pascal's big head approached Gera, showing his sharp teeth: "If you play dead again, I'll eat you."

Jela had a feeling of 'ah, isn't this really a conversation between two children in kindergarten'.

It wasn't until Pascal's sharp teeth touched its neck that Gera felt a deep sense of crisis, and the hairs all over his body stood upside down.What does the lion in front of it have to do with it?How can it be sure that he won't kill it?Just because he saved it from the three hyenas?Ha, that's one of the funniest jokes of the century.

Protecting and being protected, trusting and being trusted, any relationship is so weak when the strengths of the two parties are not equal.

Seeing the little guy nestled in his arms, too frightened to move, Pascal felt much happier.He wasn't exactly a bully, oh no, Lion, but somehow bullying the little guy made him feel extra fulfilled.

At this time, Pascal didn't know how much trouble his bad taste would bring him in the future.

……

It didn't take much time for Pascal to go from the edge of the territory to the center of the lair.In fact, if it weren't for Gera's injury, he could have been faster.

The members of Pascal's pride, nine lionesses and three males, heard Pascal's roar and came out to meet him.

Jera's eyes widened.Even without common sense, it knows that the leader of a lion group is usually one or several male lions.Male lions who can share the lion's position and territory are usually brothers.But there were three male lions in front of it, plus Pascal himself, there were four lions, they didn't look alike at all, what was going on!

Immediately afterwards, a scene that made it even more unbelievable appeared, all the lionesses and lions bowed their heads in front of Pascal, giving him the highest respect as if welcoming a returning king.

Pascal and the other three lions are not like collaborators at all, they are more like a subject and a subject.This kind of relationship is not uncommon in the human world, but it is the first time for Jela to see it in the animal world.The attitude of those lionesses towards Pascal made Gera even more puzzled.

You know, although male lions look majestic and rule the entire lion group, they are actually just passersby of the lion group.When they have the ability to drive off all intruders, they are the leader of the pride; when they are defeated and driven away by other male lions, they are nothing.It is the lionesses who really rule the pride.Therefore, although they are in awe of the male lion, they will not appear the phenomenon of complete surrender like what Jela saw in front of them.

For the first time, Gera had a strong interest in the lions under Pascal's rule.

"Welcome back, my lord." One of the male lions stepped forward, and it seemed that he was the second only to Pascal in the Pascal lion group.His courteous demeanor made Gera suspect that he was from a civilized society rather than a wild one.Immediately afterwards, a scene that surprised Jella even more happened. The male lion raised its front paw, and slowly turned into a human in a burst of deep purple light.

Gera has also seen this method of transforming forms in Pascal.It seems that it and Pascal are not the only lions that can transform into human forms.Ah, of course, more importantly, when the two male lions are transforming, there is a halo around their bodies. Jara doesn't know what that means, but it doesn't have one.

The male lion stared at Gera in Pascal's arms, lowered his head and sniffed the cub's breath: "My lord, this is..."

"I've seen this lion cub." The lioness leader Wana suddenly said: "Its mother Lily——the stray lioness was the same as us."

"So, this cub is also..."

"I've heard rumors that it's 'not big enough.'"

"Oh, it seems that our conjecture is correct. It will also become one of us." The lionesses talked a lot.

"My lord, it is a child of Ghana, and it appears here now, is it abandoned by the Ghanaian lions?" Leo De, a lion second only to Pascal, said, "Oh, I mean, if it wasn't abandoned by the lions in Ghana?" Abandoned by the Ghanaian lions, maybe we should send it back, otherwise it may lead to disputes with the Ghanaian lions."

"We are not afraid of the Ghanaian lions, but winter is coming, we should save as much prey as possible, instead of spending time and energy on guarding against the Ghanaian lions' retaliation. Oh, of course, if you plan to capture Ghana now Lions, so that we can expand our hunting range, then there is nothing to say. However, I have to remind you that now is not a good time to expand the territory. After all, your uncle, the Lord Celant..."

"Oh, yes, I have to beware of Celant, so I can't make too much noise, right? Dear Ray, you are wrong. From the day I was exiled by Celant, I have He is already a dead person in his eyes. He will not take a dead person seriously. Even if I occupy all the territory of wild lions, I am afraid he will dismiss them. So, what you are worried about will not be Reality."

While speaking, Pascal glanced at the cub that was only the size of his palm, and pulled it into his embrace.Noticing the little guy's listless look, his face also sank.

"But I can't let you take this risk, maybe the reconnaissance force of the Lord of Celant..."

"It has nothing directly to do with my wanting to keep this child. Listen, Leaud von Akasus, I have made my decision, and you only have to choose whether to obey or not." Said the Lion King: " From today on, Jela is my son and I will not give my son to anyone... not even Ghana."

For the internal disputes of the Ghanaian Lions, Pascal is too lazy to bother.Now that he picked up this little guy, he has no intention of returning it.As for Garner, if he abandoned his child, he deserved death; if he abandoned Gerald if he didn't mean to, if he didn't take good care of the little one, and caused the little one to die at the mouth of a hyena, he deserved to lose it. child.

From the Lion King's different eyes, Leo De can see his seriousness.Finally, the loyal subordinate lowered his head: "Yes, my lord, I understand. If it is your will."

Pascal nodded in satisfaction, changed back into the shape of a lion, and brought Jara back to his den.

"I guess, you need something to eat now, little guy." The lion dragged a warthog not far away to Gera, and arched in Gera's direction.

The lionesses have been paying attention to Pascal's movements. Seeing this scene, some lionesses couldn't help shouting: "Oh, are you serious? You actually gave up your prey to that little one." Berenee, the youngest lioness in Pascal's pride.

Her third sister Lan Ni persuaded her: "It seems that the adults really regard little Jella as his own child. That's fine, we can do whatever the adults want, and we will leave it alone."

"No, I mean, don't lords need us to take care of cubs? After all...it's our job as lionesses to hunt and care for cubs. Oh, although lords almost never eat the prey we catch."

"Perhaps your lord would prefer to take care of that cub yourself. After all, he seems to take him very seriously. Come on, sisters, that's not our concern. Let's go hunting. Look, your lord has seen it, and we If you don't leave, he will be angry..."

Gera didn't notice this little episode. From the moment Pascal put the warthog in front of it, it felt extremely hungry.The strong hunger and eager desire to eat made him forget the status quo of his injury.As soon as it took a step, it let out a painful moan.

"Let me see, isn't the wound on the paw open again, you careless little guy?" Pascal overturned it on the ground regardless of Gera's objections.Now Gera had to face up on all fours, exposing her soft belly to Pascal.Pascal held its slender hind paw, looked at the wound that had turned dark red, and licked it with his tongue.

Jela felt the lion's warm and barbed tongue grazing the wound on her hind leg, and suddenly felt a creepy feeling, which was even stronger than when it was first rescued by Pascal. .From this angle, it can't fully see Pascal's movements, but Pascal can have a panoramic view of its every move.

The feeling of being licked by Pascal reminded him of the prey that was about to be devoured.Maybe this male lion didn't want to heal it at all, but just tested whether the food suits his appetite, God knows!

In front of the lion's bloody maw, Jela once again felt her own insignificance.

"Look at your expression." Pascal turned Gera back like a tortoise's shell: "Why, do you think I'm going to eat you? As I said, you're too thin to fit between my teeth, or Wait until you grow up."

Gera felt a little bit cold, and it didn't know whether to be happy or afraid.At least, recently it no longer has to worry about its own life.It also knows how slow its growth rate is. From this point of view, it should be a long time before it is actually eaten by Pascal as a reserve grain.

That's it, Jerra thought.Its life is always threatened, either from the grassland or from this male lion.Living alone on the grassland, maybe it will not see the sun of tomorrow; as a food reserve for this male lion, when it really grows up to be eaten, at least it has the ability to resist or escape.

You can't expect lions to be philanthropists and keep a lion that's not related to them for no reason, can you?
