Chapter 5: 5

In front of the angry lion, even the bravest hyena had to avoid its edge.

What’s more, there are only three hyenas. No matter in terms of force or quantity, there is no way to pose a threat to the male lion.

Hyenas dare to hunt and kill the cubs of lions and can compete with the adult lions, but they are not willing to compete with the adult lions, whether they are powerful male lions or female lions who are good hunters.

In front of Pascal, they retreated. They left their prey and ran away. This is not the first time they have done this. The Natalie hyenas they used to live in were expelled by Pascal, the new lion king of the land. Losing the inherent territory of the hyenas, the hyena leader Natalie’s prestige in the hyenas decreased a lot. Soon, Nadley took her place.

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

In order to avoid the lions and their relatives, they even changed the hunting time to noon – this time, lions usually sleep in their nests to avoid the scorching sun burning their hair, and hyenas also like to move at night.

Who can tell them what happened to the angry roaring lion behind them? They never heard Pascal so angry. Even when he drove away Natalie hyenas, he was dignified and calm. And just now… When they heard Pascal’s roar, they almost thought they would be torn to pieces by him the next moment.

The angry male lion looked at the lion cub who fell to the ground with drooping head and no strength to stand. His eyes were cold. He didn’t pay much attention to the escaped hyenas. Anyway, he had remembered their smell, and their death was just in his hand.

He stepped forward and leaned down to lick the dying lion. He was not sure if he would see a pile of broken meat if he came so late. This was a little guy that rarely interested him.

The little guy glanced at him feebly and closed his eyes again. Only from the slight tremor of the pale yellow fur could he feel that the little lion was still alive. The male lion simply squatted down, and carefully licked the wound for the little lion, first on the eyes, then on the back, as carefully as giving it a bath. Maybe even lionesses are not so meticulous when it comes to bathing their babies.

Gerald felt embarrassed as the lion’s thick, warm tongue swam around his wound. Although it is known that licking is a common phenomenon in the animal world, he still can’t adapt.

Too close. This distance, this posture, is beyond his tolerance.

And who has ever seen a male lion licking a lion cub? This is usually the work of lionesses. Who has ever seen a male lion licking the cubs of other lions instead of rushing forward and killing them? This is ridiculous.

But now, Gerald had no choice. How can a lion cub so badly injured that can’t even stand protest to an adult male lion? At least Gerald thought it couldn’t.

Therefore, he can only let Pascal pick it up. In terms of its size, he is very small in front of Pascal. Pascal can swallow him with only one bite. Although he knew that since Pascal saved him, he would not end his life immediately, this posture that his life safety was threatened at any time still made Gerald uneasy.

As if aware of the trembling under the fur of the little thing he was holding, Pascal raise his front paw and turned into a human shape in a golden glow. He lifted Gerald to his face. “Hey, be calm, you little guy. You don’t want the wound to get bigger and bigger, do you?” This is a tall, vigorous and strong man. The contrast of power was so great that Gerald was like a plush toy in his hand.

But now Gerald couldn’t care about it. He nestled in Pascal’s arms, looked at him weakly, and didn’t even have the strength to say a word. His bloody smell has attracted many hidden hunters nearby, but they dare not come forward because of the male lion.

This coveted feeling made Gerald feel bad all over. Likewise, Pascal’s aura of strength and aggression made him feel repressed and fearful. But there is nothing he can do, and now he is just prey to the hunters on the grassland.

Pascal could feel Gerald’s discomfort. He reached out and stroked the soft fur on Gerald head, restraining his breath a little: “You are a dishonest little guy…”

Gerald buried his head in Pascal’s arms He quietly rolled his eyes.

“It’s unimaginable, how can such a quirky little guy like you fight three adult male hyenas directly? Do you think the god of luck will always look after you, eh?

” His eyes almost turned into dead fish eyes.

If possible, who would like to bite the three hyenas? He never thinks of himself as a superman or a protagonist who wins the strong with the weak. To ask such a stupid question, is this lion mentally retarded?

Suddenly, Gerald felt a chill, and before he could adjust his expression, Pascal grabbed him: “You are scolding me in your heart again, aren’t you? Hey, don’t play stupid, I see your Expression!”

“…”

“It’s useless to pretend to be dead.” Pascal’s big head approached Jera and showed his sharp teeth: “If you pretend to be dead again, I’ll eat you.”

“Gerald had a thought of ‘ah, isn’t this a conversation between the two children in the kindergarten?”

It wasn’t until Pascal’s sharp teeth touched his neck that Gerald felt a deep sense of crisis, and the hair all over his body stood upside down. What does the lion in front of me have to do with me? Why is it certain that he will not kill me? Just because he saved me from those three hyenas? Ha, this is the funniest joke of the century.

Protect and be protected, trust and be trusted, in the case of unequal power between the two sides, any relationship is so weak.

Looking at the little guy in his arms, he was too scared to move, and Pascal was in a good mood. He was not a bully, but somehow bullying this little guy made him feel particularly successful.

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

……

It didn’t take Pascal much time to get from the edge of the territory to the center of the lair. In fact, if it hadn’t been for Gerald’s injury, he could have been faster.

The members of the Pascal lions, nine lionesses and three male lions, heard Pascal’s roar and came out to greet him.

Gerald just rolled her eyes. He has no common sense and knows that the leader of a lion pride is usually one or several male lions. Male lions who share the king’s position and territory are usually brothers. But there are three male lions in front of him, plus Pascal himself is four, they don’t look alike at all, what the hell is going on!

Then, a scene that made it even more unbelievable appeared. All the female lions and male lions bowed their heads in front of Pascal and gave him the highest respect like a returning king.

Pascal and the other three lions are not partners at all. They are more like subjects and subjects. This relationship is not uncommon in the human world, but this is Gerald first time to see it in the animal world. Gerald was even more puzzled by the lioness’s attitude towards Pascal.

You know, although the male lions look majestic and dominate the whole lion group, they are actually just passers-by of the lion group. When they have the ability to drive away all invaders, they are the leaders of the lions. When they are defeated and driven away by other lions, they have nothing. It is the lionesses who really ruled the lions all the time. Therefore, although they are in awe of the lion, they will not have the phenomenon of complete submission as Gerald saw in front of her eyes.

For the first time, Gerald developed a keen interest in the pride of 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 most important existence in the Pascal lion group after Pascal. His polite attitude made Gerald suspect that he came from a civilized society rather than from the wild. Then, a scene that surprised Gerald even more happened. The male lion raised its front paws and slowly turned into a person in a deep purple light.

Gerald had seen this method of changing form in Pascal. It seems that he and Pascal are not the only lions that can transform into human. Ah, of course, more importantly, when the two male lions were deformed, they had an aperture around them. Gerald didn’t know what that meant.

The lion stared at Gerald in Pascal’s arms and sniffed the cub’s breath: “Sir, this is…”

“I have seen this lion cub.” Vana, the lioness leader suddenly said, “It’s mother Lily—the former stray lioness is the same as us.”

“So, this cub is also…”

“I’ve heard rumors that he’s not growing up. ”

Oh, it looks like we were right. He’ll be one of us too,” the lionesses said.

“My Lord, it’s a child of Garner, is it abandoned by Garner lions when it appears here now?” Leo, the second only to Pascal, said: “Oh, I mean, if it wasn’t abandoned by the Garnerian lions , maybe we should send him back, otherwise it might lead to a dispute with the Garnerian lions.”

“We are not afraid of Garnerian lions, but winter is coming. We should stockpiles some prey as much as possible instead of spending our time and energy on guarding against the retaliation of Garnerian lions. Oh, of course, if you plan to capture Garnerian lions now to expand our hunting range, there is nothing to say. However, I have to remind you that this is not a good time to expand our territory. After all, your uncle, the Lord of Cerant… ”

“Oh, yes, I have to be on guard against Cerant, so I can’t make too much noise, can I? Dear Leo, you’re wrong. I’ve been a dead man in his eyes since the day I was exiled by Cerant. He won’t take a dead man to heart. Even if I occupy the territory of all wild lions, I’m afraid he will despise it. Therefore, what you worry about won’t become a reality.”

Pascal looked at the little lion, which was only the size of his palm, and drew him into his arms. His face sank as he noticed the little guy’s listlessness.

“But I can’t let you take this risk, maybe the reconnaissance force of Lord Cerant…”

“It has nothing to do with me keeping this child. Listen, Leo von Arkasius. I have made a decision, and you only have to choose, whether to obey or not.” The Lion King said: “From today, Gerald is my son, and I will not give my son to anyone…not even Garner. ”

Pascal was too lazy to pay attention to the internal dispute over the Garnerian lions. Since he found the little guy, he didn’t intend to return it. As for Garner, if he abandoned his children, he deserved to die. Even if he didn’t abandon Gerald out of his intention and didn’t take care of the little guy, so that the little guy almost died in the mouth of hyenas, he deserved to lose his child.

From the Lion King’s different eyes, leo can see his seriousness. Finally, the loyal subordinate lowered his head: “yes, sir, I see. If this is your will.”

Pascal nodded with satisfaction, changed back to the shape of a lion, and took Gerald in his mouth back to his nest.

“I guess, you need something to eat now, little one.” The male lion dragged a warthog not far away from Gerald.

The lionesses have been paying attention to Pascal’s movements. When they saw this scene, some lionesses couldn’t help crying: “Oh, are you serious? You actually gave up your prey to that little one.” Bernie, the youngest lioness in the Pascal pride.

Lenny, her third sister, advised her, “it seems that adults really take little Gerald as their own child. All right, adults can do whatever they want. Let’s leave it alone.”

“No, I mean, don’t adults need to hand over the cubs to us? After all… It’s our duty to hunt and care for the cubs. Oh, although adults almost never eat the prey we catch.”

“Perhaps our lord would prefer to take care of the lion cub himself. After all, he seems to take it seriously. Come on sisters, that’s not something we should worry about, let’s go hunting, look lord is here if we doesn’t go, he’s going to be pissed…”

Gerald didn’t notice the episode, and he felt hungry when Pascal put the warthog in front of him. Intense hunger and eager appetite – hope makes him forget the current situation of his injury. He had just taken a step before he let out a painful groan.

“Let me see, the wound on the paw has split open again, you careless little fellow?” Pascal threw him to the ground regardless of Gerald’s objection. Now Gerald had to turn his feet up, exposing his soft belly towards Pascal. Pascal held his slender hind paws, looked at the wound that had turned dark red, and stuck out his tongue to lick it.

Gerald felt the lion’s warm barbed tongue swipe across the wound on his hind leg, and suddenly a creepy feeling arose, and this fear was even stronger than when it was first treated by Pascal. At this angle, it can’t see Pascal’s movements completely, but Pascal can have a panoramic view on his every move.

The feeling of being licked by Pascal reminds him of those prey that are about to be swallowed. Maybe the male lion doesn’t want to heal him at all. He’s just trying to see if the food suits his appetite.

Who knows! In front of the lion’s big mouth, Gerald felt his smallness again.

“Look at your face.” Pascal turned Gerald back like a turtle shell: “why, do you think I’m going to eat you? I said, you’re too thin for me to fill my teeth. I’d better wait until you grow up.”

Gerald felt a little cold. He didn’t know whether he should be happy or afraid. At least, he doesn’t have to worry about his own life recently. He also knows how slow his growth rate is. From this point of view , it should be a long time before he is really eaten by Pascal as reserve food.

That’s it, thought Gerald. His little life is always threatened, either from the grassland or from the lion. Living alone on the grassland, maybe he won’t meet the sun tomorrow. Give this male lion as reserve food, when he really grows up to be eaten, at least he has the ability to resist or escape.

You can’t expect lions to be philanthropists and raise a lion that has no blood relationship with them for no reason, can you?
