The Strongest Lion

Chapter 22 Losing a Lion Cub

Chapter Twenty-Two: Losing a Lion Cub

Nila didn't take it seriously at all, and just kept holding the little lioness in her mouth. Chu Ye could only roar from the side, not daring to go forward and fight Nila.

Nila caught a lion cub and was overjoyed, wanting to eat it right away, since it hadn't had meat for several days.

Now that they've finally caught a lion cub, they're eager to taste its deliciousness.

But just then, a lioness ran out from a distance.

This lioness is none other than Elsa.

Although Aisha was fighting several hyenas, she suddenly noticed what was happening over there. When she saw Nila attacking the lion cub, she immediately ran over.

When Nira saw Aisha approaching, she was terrified. Of course, she wouldn't dare to fight a lioness. After all, she was all alone now, so how could she dare to challenge a lioness?

"Awooo!" Aisha was furious when she saw Nira carrying her baby and charged straight at Nira.

When Nira saw Aisha running towards her, she didn't dare to delay and quickly grabbed a lion cub and ran towards the bushes not far away.

In her panic, Nira ran towards a thicket of bushes that happened to be the very thicket where a swarm of killer bees was hiding.

When Nila jumped into the bushes, she immediately startled a large swarm of killer bees.

Nira was immediately stunned when she saw this. But she had no way out; with killer bees in front of her and Elsa behind, she could only keep running forward.

Even so, Nila still didn't give up on her prey. This battle had been a devastating defeat for her, with heavy losses. If she didn't capture a lion cub, it would be a huge loss.

So, Nira, disregarding the danger posed by killer bees, continued to carry the lion cub and run towards the distant bushes.

This area is covered with bushes that are taller than a person. The hyenas are not very big, and once they disappear into the bushes, they are very difficult to find.

The lion cub was very small, weighing only a few kilograms. Nila carrying a lion cub didn't affect its running speed at all.

Elsa tried her best to catch up with Nila, but Nila suddenly startled a swarm of killer bees, forcing Elsa to slow down and no longer dare to approach Nila.

So, surrounded by a swarm of killer bees, Nira darted into the bushes and escaped.

Besides, the remaining dozen or so hyenas, who were already feeling like they were about to collapse, saw that the queen had escaped. They immediately fled towards the nearby bushes.

Soon, the dozen or so hyenas disappeared into the dense bushes.

The lions, Jik and Lisa, chased after them for a while, but they were too exhausted to continue. Seeing the hyenas escape, they returned.

Elsa was still looking at the bushes in the distance, wondering if Nira had left her children there.

So, after seeing that the killer bees had disappeared, Aisha went around the area and entered the nearby bushes to look for her child.

Although Elsa knew her child was dead, she was driven by some instinct to find him.

Elsa searched for a long time but couldn't find her child. She had no choice but to return to the tree.

The battle was over, and the three adult lions returned to the base of the tree.

Several of the remaining nine lion cubs hid in the nearby bushes out of fear.

At this moment, Chu Ye and five other lion cubs had already crossed over from the nearby bushes and arrived in front of the two lionesses.

There are only three lion cubs missing: one is Elsa's lion cub, and the other two are Lisa's lion cubs.

Of Lisa's cubs, only Chu Ye and Mao Mao came to her side. Hua Hua and Mei Mei were nowhere to be found.

Lisa first licked Chu Ye and Mao Mao's bodies, then walked towards the bushes not far away. As she walked, she howled, calling for her children.

Elsa is in the same boat; she has already lost one lion cub, and another is missing. She is also searching for the other cub.

The other lion cub Elsa was looking for was Little Black.

When Xiao Hei saw the hyena queen, it was terrified and immediately scurried into a nearby thicket of cat bushes, where it didn't dare to come out for a long time.

It only emerged from the bushes when it heard the call of the lioness, Aisha.

The lion paid no attention to its cubs; it was too exhausted. Returning to the tree, it lay down on a large rock to rest.

It was already morning, and the weather was getting hotter. The male lion was huge, with thick fur. The large ruff around its neck, in particular, made it very uncomfortable.

Therefore, after the temperature rises on the grasslands, male lions usually lie down under the shade of trees to rest and are unwilling to move around.

But Lisa and Elsa are not just two lions, they are also two mothers. Now that their cubs are missing, they are extremely anxious and naturally want to search for them.

Two lionesses braved the scorching sun, searching for their cubs in the nearby bushes.

Fortunately, the lion cubs were just scared and hid in the nearby bushes; they didn't run far. When they heard their mother's call, they all came out from the bushes.

Lisa was overjoyed to see that she had found her other two lion cubs, and she kept licking the bodies of the two female lion cubs.

Hua Hua and Mei Mei snuggled up to their mother lion, looking exceptionally happy.

Having survived the ordeal, the two lioness cubs realized for the first time how terrifying the world could be, and how danger could appear at any moment.

Elsa also found another lion cub, Little Black.

Little Black snuggled up to Elsa, also in a good mood.

Elsa felt the same way. Although she had already lost a lion cub, she felt better as long as Little Black was still there.

Because Xiao Hei is the strongest of its six cubs, it will surely grow up to be a strong male lion.

The lion cub that the hyena queen carried away was the weakest of Aisha's litter.

Elsa was heartbroken, but she also felt somewhat lucky. She had only lost the weakest of the lion cubs.

But no matter what, that little lioness is also Elsa's child.

Although it found Little Black, it kept licking Little Black's fur.

But it would still occasionally look up at the bushes in the distance, wondering if a little lioness would run out from there.

Chu Ye nestled close to Lisa, experiencing for the first time the dangers of this vast grassland.
