red ribbon lion king

Chapter 26 The Elephant and Lion War (2)
Lions are social animals, and they all follow the same biological clock to execute the same breeding schedule.In other words, lionesses in a group give birth to cubs at about the same time.For the convenience of hunting and from the perspective of safety, the lionesses implemented a collective trusteeship system for the cubs in two stages.

The first stage is when the lion cubs are just born to half a year old. At that time, the lion cubs were still young and could not walk well. When the lions went out to hunt, they left all the cubs in the camp and sent two or three old lionesses to stay in the camp. Responsible for taking care of the lion cubs at the campsite.

The second stage is when lion cubs are half a year old to ten months old. Lion cubs in this age group can already keep up with the normal walking speed of the lion group. Observe the hunting behavior of adult lions. When a group of lions go out for food, they will take the cubs away. After finding the prey, before launching an attack, all the cubs are placed in the grass about several hundred meters away from the hunting ground, leaving one or two guarded by an old lioness.It's a lot like human nurseries and kindergartens.

At this moment, the Patilu lions have retreated to a "temporary kindergarten".

When the lion cubs saw the lion group, they got out of the grass one after another, whining and looking for their mother.Out of strong maternal love and the instinct of protecting the calf, the lioness will certainly not abandon the cubs and run for their own lives.Although a half-year-old lion cub can already walk and run, its speed and stamina are not enough, and it will definitely not be able to outrun an elephant.

The lionesses stood guard in front of their cubs, and the menacing elephants came over like a tide.According to the division of labor in the lion society, when the lions are threatened by external forces, the head lion has the responsibility and obligation to protect the safety of the lions.The giant yellow mane and the braided male lion bite the bullet and deal with the elephant herd, covering the evacuation of the lionesses with their cubs.The giant yellow mane and the braided lion roared and jumped up and down, using all the tricks a lion could do.

Unfortunately, those elephants seemed to have taken the wrong medicine. They were not afraid of threats and intimidation. They rushed forward one by one like daredevils. In just two rounds, they beat the giant yellow mane and the braided lion to the point where they could only parry but could not fight back. strength.Seeing that dozens of elephants were about to surround them, the yellow giant mane could only smear the soles of its feet with oil—and slipped away.Although the elephants failed to block it, the sand rolled up by several elephant trunks smashed its head and face, making it look like a beggar lion.The braided lion moved a beat slower, and was stabbed in the butt by a unicorn, leaving a wound that was not deep and not shallow.The big lion was defeated, and the arrogance of the elephant herd became even more arrogant, roaring loudly and rushing forward.Whitebreast and his black-clawed cub fell behind, surrounded by angry elephants...

For the white-breasted lioness, the situation is extremely critical. If she resists desperately, those crazy elephants will poke her eyes out and break her back; The hooves are trampled into meat paste!
The lions roared sadly and retreated helplessly.

The wasp-chested lioness was standing on the mound looking out, and suddenly came up with an idea: rush down, rescue the white-breasted lioness, and rescue the black-clawed cubs!
This thought was so strong, it was as hard to stop as lava rushing underground and dark clouds gathering in the sky.

On the surface, the idea of ​​the wasp-waisted lioness is eccentric and absurd, which is quite ridiculous.The giant yellow hyena and the braided lion, who brutally killed its baby lion cubs twice, are its sworn enemies.It and the red streamer dream of fighting and driving away the yellow giant mane and braided lions, owning and controlling the Patilu lion group.If it saves the black-clawed lion cub, it will not only save the white-breasted lioness, but also help the giant yellow mane and the braided lion. Wouldn't it be absurd to help the enemy?Besides, the elephant herd has [-] to [-] adult elephants, and the momentum is huge. It, the red streamer and the male lion without hyenas participated in this lion-elephant battle. Although the strength of the lions has strengthened, the balance of power between the two sides has not undergone a fundamental reversal. , still like a strong lion and a weak lion, it is very likely that not only the black claw cub will not be rescued, but he himself will be surrounded by elephants, stabbed by ivory or bruised by elephant trunk.Isn't it ridiculous to meddle in your own business and drag yourself down!

At this moment, the most normal reaction for the wasp-waisted lioness is to gloat.The enemy, Huang Julu, as the head of the big lion, was unable to defend his own lion group. He was beaten by the elephant group and fell into a predicament.Stuck in trouble, proves limited ability; limited ability, proves unworthy to run and rule the Patilu pride.The crisis is lurking, the position is shaken, and the change of dynasty is not far away.Besides, although the black-clawed lion cub is born of a white-breasted lioness, it is also of the blood of the giant mane or the braided male lion, and the elephant herd just avenged the murder of her son.Watching the fire from the other side and reaping the benefits is the correct strategy for the wasp-waisted lioness.

However, it still couldn't restrain the urge to rush down the mound to fight with the elephant herd.It and the white-breasted lioness grew up together in the same lion group. According to the law of the lion's social structure, the lionesses in the same group are all close blood relatives. Many advanced animals have conscious altruism among blood close relatives. In other words In layman's terms, it means that there is an innate spirit of selfless help and selfless dedication between each other. The white-breasted lioness is in distress, and it is not allowed to sit idly by emotionally.

Besides, it lost its son twice, and it knows what it feels like to be a mother watching her baby being tortured and killed.Heartbroken for a long time, in a trance for a long time, as if the sky has fallen.It thought that it rushed down the mound to attack the elephant herd with the red streamer and the male lion without hyena. On the surface, it seemed to be foolishly clearing the siege for the enemy. Looking at it from another angle, it could also be said that it was impeaching the yellow giant in another way. Hyenas and braided lions shake the foundations of their dominance.As the saying goes, don't be afraid of not knowing the goods, but be afraid of comparing goods.

The giant yellow mane and the braided lion retreated steadily in front of the elephant herd. At this time, the red streamer bravely attacked and bit the raging elephant herd. For everyone, the red ribbon must be regarded as the savior who fell from the sky, the hero who turned the tide, and the hero who saved Patilu's lions from hanging upside down.The strong contrast, the obvious contrast, can make the giant yellow mane and the braided lion expose their ugly behavior and small soul.This is undoubtedly a powerful pavement for the future battle for the Lion King.

It thought that it was not impossible for the three lions to rush down the mound to repel those arrogant elephants; although there was no certainty of victory, the possibility of victory still existed.

First of all, although the herd of elephants is aggressive and mighty, in essence, elephants are herbivores, and they have a sense of fear of lions in their hearts. As long as they can lure out this natural sense of fear, they will be able to Suppress the arrogance of the elephant herd.

Second, the attention of the entire elephant group is now focused on the Patilu lion group. I never dreamed that another group of lions would appear and suddenly attack from behind. At least in the beginning, it would give the elephant group the impression of being attacked from the back. , causing chaos, for a group that is in a fierce battle, chaos is the beginning of a rout.

Thirdly, the three lions participated in the battle. Although they cannot change the overall situation that the elephants are strong and the lions are weak, they are in the dark and the elephants are in the light. They can choose the target to attack and form a local strength advantage.Of course, doing so is very risky, and it is entirely possible that the elephant herd will not follow their tricks, calmly, and send out five or six adult elephants to deal with them, so that they cannot realize their intentions; The Patilu lions took the opportunity to escape from the depression and left them alone. The elephants turned to concentrate on dealing with the three lions and vented their anger on them. The rescue operation turned into a tragedy... Don't think about it so much. There are very few things in the world that do not require risk. Risk and return are directly proportional. Only venture capital can make high profits. The greater the risk, the greater the return. In a sense As the saying goes, only if you dare to take risks can you succeed!

Three adult elephants have separated the white-breasted lioness from the black-clawed cub, and the ferocious one-tusked elephant raised its ivory dripping with cold light and aimed at the black-clawed cub...

Under the fierce attack of the elephant herd, the giant yellow mane and the braided lion drooped their tails, dropped the lioness and cubs, and fled with mournful roars.

Two more lionesses and three cubs were surrounded by elephants.

For the red streamers, this is a good time to attack and rescue them.

The wasp-waisted lioness made up her mind and rubbed her forehead against the waist of the red ribbon, expressing her intentions with body language.The red streamer seemed to have a similar idea. She shook her head at the hyena-free male lion and trotted towards the old female elephant, the black-and-white-nosed female elephant, and the baby elephant.

There is no doubt that, in the present situation, the old matriarch, the black-nosed female and the calf are their best targets.

The African elephant herd implements a matrilineal social system, with an experienced old female elephant as the leader, and all female and male elephants under it are her direct descendants or cousins.Attacking an old female elephant is like catching a thief first and capturing the king first, or hitting a snake seven inches away, which is considered to have hit the vital point.Furthermore, small elephants have no defense ability and are easy to subdue. Female elephants with black and white noses are already frightened and easy to deal with.More importantly, the three elephants are behind the herd, and there is a certain distance from the elephants who are rushing to kill the lions. In case they miss during the attack, there is also time and space to maneuver room.
