Chapter 1: 1

A strong wind blew and the dense grass was blown to one side.

On the grassland, several lionesses are quietly approaching the gazelle that drinking water by the river, this is their target they have chosen today. They restrained their footsteps, quietly approaching their prey under the cover of the grass, and suddenly launched an attack when they were less than two meters away from the adult gazelle.

Soon, the gazelle fell reluctantly in a pool of blood, the lionesses put their front paws on the gazelle’s body, and made a long cry sound, calling the male lion and their children to eat.

Garner the lion is a strong and stocky lion, he and his brother Ryan are the worthy rulers of this lion group with nine lionesses. After coming to the prey, Garner and Ryan greedily enjoyed the prey, chewing on the fresh blood of the gazelle, and the lionesses stood beside them, waiting quietly for the two male lions to finish eating, before they went to enjoy their share. When it was the turn of the cubs, there was not much prey left.

At this time, the strong and old little lions rushed up and directly pushed their weaker brothers and sisters aside, munching on their prey, and even the scum would not be left to their siblings. A young lion jumped at his brother’s feet, unwilling to stop him from eating alone and strive for some welfare for himself, however his brother didn’t hesitate to dig open his paw, even the lion mother didn’t say much when she saw this scene.

When Garner and Ryan were already full, they wandered leisurely around their territory, patrolling their territory like a pampered king. The lionesses are responsible for hunting and breeding, while male lions are responsible for defending their territory and defeating them when there are invaders, this has always been the division of labor among lions.

In a bush not far from the lions, a small fluffy yellow head suddenly sticks out, with pointed ears, and a pair of round yellowish brown eyes are staring vigilantly around him, it looks around, he moved his ears from time to time, even the slightest trace of wind and grass.

Gerald is also one of the cubs in the Garner and Ryan pride, but he doesn’t get the same treatment as the other cubs. Gerald’s mother Lily, is not the lioness of this pride, but an exotic lioness. No one knows where she came from, but she is indeed very different from the lionesses of the Garner and Ryan prides. Lily was ostracized for a time because she was not related to the other lionesses in the pride. Fortunately, her hunting ability is very strong, and Garner likes her. Although the other lionesses are reluctant, they still accept Lily for the sake of the increasingly abundant food.

Soon, Lily became pregnant. Unlike other lionesses, who gave birth to two to five cubs per litter, Lily gave birth to only one cub, named Gerald. Now, Gerald has been born for three years. According to the age of the lion, he should be an adult, but he is still thin and small. Even his six-month-old sister looks stronger and strudier than him. Lily is different, and Gerald is a complete freak. Because of this, the mother and son were rejected by the lions again. Even Garner began to give Lily no false words and no longer favored her in the past.

Although there is no love for male lions, Lily’s hunting ability is still there. Lily was able to support herself and her children, even if she forages alone from the lions. With lily, Gerald would never be hungry, Gerald never had to worry about food until she was two and a half years old. The good times did not last long, during a fight against rhinoceros, Lily was surrounded by three adult male rhinoceros, and tore her stomach in the fighting because other female lions in the lion group failed to cooperate well with Lily .

Lily is dead. After losing the protection of her mother, Gerald who had no ability to survive alone, quickly followed her mother, and at this time a person who unfortunately caught up with the crossing tide put on the body of Lily who just died. The people who used to sit in the office now have to run around for their own livelihood, carefully following the lions around the pride every day, hoping to pick up the slack. It’s not honorable at all to eat other people’s leftovers, but in order to survive, everything is tolerated.

Gerald knew, that the Garnerian pride would certainly not welcome it. The lionesses can’t get enough of their own children, who would want a lion that is not related to them to snatch food from their own children? What’s more, if you don’t look at its appearance, at the age of three years, it is enough for Garner and Ryan to kick it out of the lions to be self-reliant. But judging from the young body of Gerald and the tender paws of the monk, if it is expelled from the lions, it may not be long before it will become a delicious meal for hyenas. Although Garner didn’t like Gerald, he was not so cruel to the point of deliberately letting his children leave the pride of the lions to die, as for Gerald’s, Gerald used the prestige of the lions to protect himself from other creatures and picked up leaks behind the lions from time to time, so he turned a blind eye.

On the contrary some lionesses felt the little tails behind them, and began to whisper: “Look, that little boy is coming again, he is three years old, but he has no sharp teeth and claws, he also can’t hunt, I really don’t know how long we will keep it!”

“Dear sister, just say a few words less, Anyway it’s also a child of Ghana.” Another lioness licked her paw and said lazily: “unless Garner speaks, I think he has to follow us all the time.”

The Garnerian lions finished their big meal, and left slowly. Gerald looked at the pile of broken bones not far away, and knew that it couldn’t be picked up today. The breath of the lions is going away, but the smell of blood has not dispersed. Gerald cautiously left the place along the grass, soon, some animals attracted by the smell of blood should come to take a chance. Now, even a jackal can easily defeat Gerald.

Gerald’s little claws are not too sharp, they are not much better than kitten’s claws. It is still very difficult for he to hunt by itself. Based on the survival experience of nearly half a year, Gerald selected an area where rabbits often move and dug a pit with her front paw. Because the strength was not well controlled, a piece of scraped soil hit Gerald’s small head, Gerald shook his head before shaking off the soil. Now, it looks ashamed, no different from a tabby cat.

After scratching his head with his front paws, Gerald lay down on the ground again and continued to dig the soil.

Dig a trap on the ground, and then sprinkle soft soil particles and grass on the trap, so that this land looks no different from other lands, and lure unsuspecting little rabbits into the trap. This is what Gerald often does recently. In addition, Gerald clumsily tied a few grass knots with her claws next to the trap. If the rabbits did not pass its trap, but walked on the road where the grass knot was, they would trip over the grass knot.

After doing all this, Gerald stood against the wind, and carefully hid her breath. With a bit of intelligence that once belonged to a human being, Gerald barely supported herself during this period. Today, however, Gerald’s luck seems to have come to an end.

Five rabbits, a total of five rabbits passed through the trap set by Jera, but none of them fell into the net under Gerald.

“Oh, look, that damn stinky lion is coming again! The last time my neighbor ace and his wife died in his hands! I don’t understand, can’t the food from the lions stop his mouth? Why does he always come and stare at us? God, I hope he’ll be taken away by the hyenas sooner! He’s such a damn bastard!” One of the grey rabbits showed his teeth angrily to Gerald.

“Having a lion here, even a lion cub, is enough to make me uneasy – will its pride be around here?” The mother rabbit with her baby looked worried.

“Come on! If he can follow the lions, there’s no need to keep an eye on us! In my opinion, he’s probably abandoned by one of the lions.” Grandpa yellow rabbit narrowed his old eyes and made no secret of his schadenfreude*.

“Oh, poor wretch!” Mr. grey rabbit sighed insincerely, “but I’d rather it be taken away by the hounds earlier or trampled to death by the elephants!”

“So, there won’t be any adults lion nearby?”

“Of course.”

“Dear, look ahead of you, what is that?”

Just then, suddenly the wind changed. Several rabbits felt a dangerous breath with endless blood and violence, and they suddenly shrank their necks and stopped their steps.

“Oh, no—a full-grown male lion!”

The rabbits turned quickly and ran desperately in the opposite direction, they no longer paid attention to Gerald, who was cursed by them. Gerald, who was left behind by them, looked foolishly at the majestic adult male lion in front of him, walked bravely, then stepped into the trap that Gerald had dug, and his right half of body sank due to loss of balance.

This is an adult lion with brown sideburns, Its vigorous limbs and strudy body look full of strength, which is no inferior to Garner and Ryan. At this moment, he uttered the roar of fooled anger, which was sharper than the whistle of a car. Gerald stood up, covering her ears with her front paws.

When the male lion locked his bloodthirsty eyes on Gerald, Gerald seemed to see the smile of death, his scalp was numb, and there was a trembling feeling that his tail was about to explode.

Gerald’s trap may be deep enough for rabbits, but it’s only a matter of time for an adult lion to break free. Once the lion escapes, he will be finished! Gerald simply threw the useless grass knots around her at the lion and tripped the lion, Then she found a thick enough tree nearby and climbed up like a two or three-year-old child.

This is a secret between Gerald’s and his mother Lily. Among the Garner and Ryan lions where he belongs, only he and the deceased Lily have the ability to become human. I don’t know if it is because of this reason that his growth is abnormally slow. Now, with the exception of the ears and tail that couldn’t be changed, Jera looked exactly like a human child.

In the process of Gerald climbing up the tree, the angry lion has escaped from the many troubles caused by Gerald, with brute force and rushed to the tree quickly, he held his head high, as if he wanted to bite Gerald’s tail that he didn’t t have time to put away and take him down the tree. Gerald was so frightened that the tip of his tail turned up and climbed up the tree, God knows how he could do it so quickly with his small arms and legs, When he looked back, Gerald himself couldn’t believe it.

Gera was relieved when he climbed to the branch of the tree and sat down firmly. It was at this time that he noticed, that he had left the territory of the Garnerian lions. If nothing happens, this should be the territory of Pascal lions, a close neighbor of Garner’s lions. In Gerald’s distant and vague memory, Pascal’s lions are not easy to provoke, because it is said that Pascal, who came from the other end of the river, had a fight with two brothers from Garner for his current territory. Eventually, the Pascal lions encroached on more than half of the territory of the Garnerian lions.

""

Gera listened to the repressed roar of the lion in her ear, and a sense of fear gradually floated to her mind.

The offended lion was Pascal?

If even Ghana and Ryan have been defeated by this lion, I’m afraid no one can save it from the lion’s anger.

Gera touched her shriveled stomach and lay upright in the tree. Its life, no, lion life, why is it so bad? Before enjoying the prestige of being the lion king, I will be buried here.

Besides, I’m really hungry.

Pascal has been lingering under the tree without leaving, and Gerald has been unable to leave. At this point, they had not eaten for two days, and the small stomach made waves of protests. The wind was a little cool at night. Not long after Gerald climbed up the tree, he returned to the form of a lion. In order to reduce energy consumption, he curled up and almost rolled itself into a ball.

Pascal looked at the pitiful appearance of the small ball of fur on the tree, and most of the anger in his heart disappeared.
At this time, a passing rabbit was caught by Pascal, and the sharp claws of the male lion instantly opened the rabbit’s belly. The tempting smell came from under the tree, which made Gerald sniff. Such a little rabbit is not enough for an adult male lion, but it is a delicious meal for Gerald. For a moment, Gerald almost wanted to rush down the tree and seize the hare. But when he looked at the dangerous golden eyes under the tree, Gerald withered again and drew back the front paw he had just stepped it out.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but when the lion under the tree saw Gerald’s appearance, he showed a very playful expression, stood up and took a few steps back. Soon Gerald could not smell the lion. But Gerald knew, that the hateful lion must not have gone far. For experienced lions, it is not difficult to use the wind direction to temporarily hide their smell. Does the male lion think he is a fool who will be fooled as long as there is a bait?

I don’t know how long ago, the smell of blood always stimulated Gerald’s taste buds, and the lion never came back. Gerald felt like she was being torn apart by countless little bugs, even though he knew it was not a good idea to go down the tree now. The hunger defeated him, and at the same time, the fluke that the lion had left flooded his heart vigorously.

Anyway, if it goes on like this, i will starve to death before torn apart by the lion. If the hare is just a trap, i will admit it. Even if I’m gonna die, i must be a full ghost.

The cub slithered down the tree. First, he looked around vigilantly and found that there was no movement around. Then he tentatively arched the hare with his nose. After confirming that there was no abnormal condition, he quickly jumped up and ate. After sucking the hare, licked his mouth, squinted and showed a happy smile. Then, the little thing carefully returned to the territory of Garner and Ryan lions along the boundary line.

Looking at the little figure fading away, the lion’s golden eyes showed a thoughtful look.
