The Strongest Lion

Chapter 26 Cobra

Chapter Twenty-Six: Cobra

Jike didn't take the pack of wild dogs around him seriously. He felt that he had even defeated hyenas, so what were these wild dogs?

Zeke probably sensed that this pack of wild dogs wouldn't dare to target their pride. He didn't need to worry about anything just because there was a pack of wild dogs around.

However, one of the lion cubs in the Jike pride was very worried. This lion cub was Chu Ye.

Chu Ye never expected that after the hyenas moved out, a pack of wild dogs would move in instead.

"Damn, what if these stray dogs also have designs on our little lion?" Chu Ye felt a little worried because it was the dry season, and anything could happen during the dry season.

"No, I have to think of a way to deal with this pack of wild dogs." Chu Ye decided to do something.

Chu Ye originally thought that all he needed to do was teach the lion cubs to climb trees. As long as they could climb trees, they could escape danger from hyenas, wild dogs, or other stray male lions if they invaded the pride.

But these lion cubs disappointed Chu Ye. They had been learning for several days but hadn't made any progress. Except for Xiao Hei, who could barely climb to the top of the tree, none of the other lion cubs could reach the top.

This put pressure on Chu Ye, who realized he needed to find another way to help the lion cubs.

"No, just knowing how to climb trees isn't enough; I also need to learn some other skills."

Chu Ye felt that if he only knew how to climb trees, he could only protect himself. If he wanted to protect the other lion cubs, he needed to learn other skills that could directly help the three adult lions defeat the invaders.

"What skills should I learn?" Chu Ye was at a loss. He was still too small and it seemed there were no combat techniques he could learn. After all, in the face of absolute strength, any combat techniques were just fancy moves.

These days, Chu Ye has been thinking about this question.

However, this problem has not been solved yet, and it seems that a new problem has emerged.

In the past few days, the two lionesses have failed to hunt for several nights in a row, and the entire pride has fallen into a state of panic due to hunger.

If the lioness doesn't get any meat, she won't have much milk to feed her cubs.

Chu Ye's stomach was also growling with hunger.

Last night, even the lions participated in the hunt, but they still failed. There was a very cunning adult warthog that escaped even with Zeke's help.

This morning, the two lionesses and Jike were lying under a big tree, their eyes filled with despair.

The lion cubs surrounded the two lionesses, howling loudly, clearly wanting to nurse. However, the two lionesses hadn't eaten for several days and had no milk for their cubs.

Chu Ye didn't roar at the lioness. He knew that the lioness had no milk, so roaring wouldn't make a difference.

"No, I need to find some food myself."

Chu Ye felt that he could no longer rely on the two lionesses; he had to support himself.

At this time, the two lionesses and Jike were all lying there sleeping. They had been exhausted all night, and although they hadn't succeeded, they still needed to rest. They could only try again later that night.

The two lionesses looked at their crying cubs, their eyes filled with helplessness. Having no other option, they closed their eyes and went to sleep.

The eight lion cubs first circled the two lionesses and cried out for a while. When they saw that the lionesses wouldn't let them nurse, they had no choice but to snuggle up to their mothers and go to sleep. They didn't even have the energy to play anymore; sleeping was all they wanted to do.

Seeing that the lionesses, cubs, and even the lion king were all asleep, Chu Ye secretly slipped away by himself.

Chu Ye decided to find some food for himself. No matter what happened to the pride of lions, he had to feed himself.

Chu Ye couldn't worry about anything else anymore; he had to rely on himself to survive. Since there was no more breast milk, he would have to eat meat!

The two lionesses and the male lion were all asleep and paid no attention to Chu Ye's movements.

Chu Ye secretly slipped into the nearby bushes.

He couldn't go far, nor dared to stray too far from the pride; he could only try his luck nearby.

Chu Ye knew that the last time he discovered the killer bees, he had seen a small mouse, or elephant shrew, in this thicket.

Now he's wondering if he can still encounter such a little mouse. If he does, maybe he can catch one and eat it.

He felt that he had increased his running speed these days. After all, he was already four or five months old.

But when Chu Ye reached the thicket, he didn't see any baby elephant shrews. The thicket was very quiet, and there were no animals in sight.

It's not entirely true that there weren't any; there were a few small grasshoppers hopping around in the grass.

Seeing these little grasshoppers, Chu Ye thought, "It seems I won't be able to eat the little mice either, so I'll eat a few grasshoppers first!"

With that in mind, Chu Ye prepared to catch the grasshoppers.

But just as he was about to catch the grasshoppers, he heard a hissing sound coming from ahead, like something rubbing against the ground.

Chu Ye was a little curious, so he went over.

But he was startled when he took one look.

It turned out to be a cobra.

The cobra has a small mouse, or rather a baby elephant shrew, in its mouth.

"I said I didn't see the little mouse, turns out it was caught by this poisonous snake." Chu Ye looked at the snake with nothing but envy.

The cobra also saw Chu Ye, but it didn't seem afraid. Because Chu Ye was just a lion cub, it had nothing to worry about. Let alone a lion cub, even an adult lion wouldn't dare provoke a venomous snake.

Although the cobra saw Chu Ye, it didn't run away at all. It simply began to eat as if no one else was there.

This was just a baby elephant shrew; the cobra didn't use much venom, and the baby elephant shrew died instantly.

The cobra swallowed the baby elephant shrew right in front of Chu Ye.

Chu Ye looked at the cobra, only able to drool with envy. After all, he was starving and had originally wanted to find a little mouse to eat, but now he could only watch the cobra feast.

"Forget it, I'll just eat the grasshoppers!" Chu Ye said helplessly, wanting to leave.

But suddenly, it heard the bushes nearby rustle, as if some small animal was coming.

"Huh! What kind of small animal is that? It can't be one that I can catch, can it? It would be best if it were a little rabbit, so I could ambush it and have a meal of rabbit meat." Chu Ye was daydreaming, and drool was already dripping from his mouth.

Thinking of this, Chu Ye quickly hid in the bushes nearby.
