Chapter 45 The Baboon Leader is Defeated by the Wild Dogs
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that this group of baboons had been defeated by a pack of wild dogs. Three female baboons had lost their babies.
"These wretched wild dogs, unable to defeat us lions, have come to bully the baboons."
Chu Ye's actions were likely driven by compassion for fellow primates. He felt deep sympathy for the plight of this troop of baboons.
"Should I help this group of baboons?"
Chu Ye even wanted to take the initiative to attack these wild dogs!
With Chu Ye's current strength, he should be able to defeat these wild dogs. Even if he can't kill them, he can definitely scare them away. After all, these wild dogs have witnessed Chu Ye's fighting prowess.
If Chu Ye wanted to deal with these stray dogs, it could simply go up and drive these wretched creatures away.
But Chu Ye then thought that he was now just a lion, not a human, and there was no need for him to feel sympathy for primates like baboons. The fight between baboons and wild dogs was a matter between their two species and had nothing to do with their pride of lions.
"Forget it, better to avoid trouble. I don't need to do good deeds anymore. Since this group of baboons can't beat this pack of wild dogs, they can only accept their bad luck!"
Although Chu Ye wanted to help the group of baboons, he hesitated for a moment and did not go out.
Just then, a large group of baboons suddenly ran over from not far away. It was Lucky, the baboon leader, leading more than a dozen of his adult baboons.
Just now, a female baboon saw her cubs being killed by wild dogs, so she quickly broke through the encirclement and went to report to the baboon leader.
The two baboon groups weren't actually very far apart. It was just that the ground in this area was covered with dense vegetation, including many bushes and tall, sharp-haired grass.
In this way, Lucky didn't notice anything unusual at the time. Only when one of the female baboons reported it to him did he quickly lead some of his men to the female baboons.
Kurt had already killed three baby baboons, which was quite a haul. When it saw Lucky leading a dozen or so adult baboons charging towards it, it quickly led its minions to flee.
Because once Lucky arrived, the baboon troop would naturally be stronger than the wild dog troop.
Seeing that the entire baboon family had arrived, Kurt naturally dared not linger in battle. He immediately led his army of wild dogs and disappeared into the tall grass.
Lucky, leading his family members, chased after them for a while before having to turn back. After all, they dared not stray too far from their territory.
After Chu Ye watched as Lachi led his family army to drive away the pack of hateful wild dogs, he returned to his territory.
"These wretched stray dogs, one day I'll teach them a lesson they won't forget."
On his way back, Chu Ye was still angry with the stray dogs. Even though they hadn't attacked the lion cubs, Chu Ye still deeply hated them.
The next morning, Chu Ye felt nothing was wrong. After getting up, he climbed up the big tree again and looked into the distance. He was watching the movements of the pack of wild dogs to the north; he was very uneasy about them.
Just one morning, the baboon troop next to them lost three of their calves. Chu Ye witnessed this firsthand.
Although Chu Ye felt that Kurt wouldn't dare lead his wild dog army to ambush them, the lion cubs, he was still worried that Kurt would come to ambush them again that day.
It's the dry season now, and carnivores on the grasslands will do anything to survive.
The lionesses have been quite busy these days. Food is scarce. They go out hunting every day, and nine times out of ten they return empty-handed. The Jike pride only has these two lionesses, making them weaker hunters than other prides, naturally resulting in a lower success rate.
Chu Ye himself couldn't possibly eat meat every day. However, he could at least find some small animals to eat. In any case, its attack power was much stronger than any other lion cub in the pride.
Last night, Lisa and Aisha failed to hunt again, and this morning, the two lionesses went out hunting again.
This time, the male lion, Jike, also went. The dry season had entered its most difficult period, and Jike could no longer expect the two lionesses to bring him prey every day.
And these eight lion cubs are also at the age where they need to eat meat. If they aren't given meat, they probably won't survive the dry season.
So these days, Jike can't slack off either; he has to lead his wives hunting every night. If they fail at night, they have to go back to work in the morning.
Chu Ye first looked at the pack of wild dogs to the north, but he didn't see them. He didn't know where Kurt had led his pack of wild dogs to fight again.
Unable to see the wild dog army, Chu Ye turned his attention to the nearby baboon troop. This troop had lost three cubs yesterday, a significant loss for them.
"Is Kurt going to ambush the baboons again?"
Since Chu Ye couldn't see the Wild Dog Legion, he wondered if Kurt had once again led his army to ambush the baboon troop, intending to launch another surprise attack.
However, none of the baboons came down to the ground to forage today; they stayed in the trees. It seems they were afraid of being attacked by wild dogs again.
They would have been safer if they had stayed in the trees, since wild dogs would never have been able to climb up and attack the baboons.
No matter how skilled the wild dogs are, they simply can't climb trees. Any prey in the trees is simply out of their reach for them.
From this perspective, wild dogs are far inferior to lions. Although lions are large, they can still climb trees to find food. Wild dogs, on the other hand, can only find food on the ground, and even if they encounter danger, they can only run away. They don't have the ability to hide in trees.
So Chu Ye began to observe the group of baboons more closely. He felt that all of them stayed in the trees and none of them came down to the ground.
If that's the case, then regardless of whether the wild dogs attack the baboons or not, they will be perfectly safe.
"It seems the baboons are scared off by the wild dogs and dare not come down to forage."
Chu Ye noticed that the baboons didn't dare to come to the ground, so he figured they were afraid of being attacked by wild dogs.
