Chapter 245 The Lioness Encounter

The gazelle group that was eating grass leisurely obviously did not notice the danger.

An Feng observed through the scope of the sniper rifle. The gazelle is a medium-sized animal with a light brown body, but the abdomen is obviously white, with a pair of long sharp horns on the top of his head, and a fighting personality. The lion group surrounded him outside, and two gazelle were having fun fighting on his head, and he was not alert enough.

Darwin's voice sounded: "The lion group is the Victor family. The leading lioness has recently given birth to three cubs and has been looking for food nearby... The hyenas are also approaching. They look hungry and may snatch the lion's prey or act on their own."

An Feng looked at the group of hyenas farther away. He had long heard of them. Their reputation was not very good. They were a symbol of greed and laziness, and they specifically snatched lions and leopards' prey and gained nothing. But some people also corrected their reputation, and hyenas would also take the initiative to hunt, and even brought down bison.

"Oh, look! The lion group is in action!"

As the sound fell, everyone's eyes focused on the lion group, and three lionesses rushed out of the grass, chasing the group of gazelles immersed in grazing and fighting. The appearance of the lion immediately made the group of creatures look like frightened birds, with four legs like springs, and in the blink of an eye.

The three female lions chased closely behind, and soon, they locked in one of the gazels! Its body was very flexible, and it jumped left and right, never going straight. The first lion was not as flexible as it was, and it pounced in vain. However, the cooperation of the lion group was very tacit. The second lion surrounded the next lion. The gazelle dodged the lion's bloody mouth, but was slapped by the lion who was chasing from the other direction, biting its neck, and then disappeared in a few seconds.

"Excellent!" Everyone's voices came from the radio.

This hunt took a very short time, but it was a classic cooperation.

After the lion bit off the throat of the prey, it began to share the delicious food. In addition to the gazelle running in panic, the circle of hyenas also slowly arrived. The hyenas made a very unpleasant sound, just like a person's hysterical laughter, which reached the group of lions, and they raised their heads vigilantly.

At this time, the group of hyenas accelerated. The group of lions faced a choice: fight or retreat. The number of hyenas is at least twenty. Although the lions are mighty, they can basically beat one hyenas in front of each other, but when three lions face twenty hyenas, they can only be used as turtles with their heads.

The lionesses were not very willing. Maybe they were hungry these days, so they bit more food, and then roared, trying to scare away the group of hyenas. But hyenas are used to being rampant on this land. They are born to bullying people with power, have prey, and have few opponents. Isn’t this an opportunity?

As the hyenas surrounded them, three lionesses were circling around the prey, driving away the hyenas with sound and short sprints. For a short time, the hyenas were hesitating. But soon, the taste of the food stimulated them. They also gained the courage, and the hyenas began to fight the lion group together.

Once these hyenas cooperated, the lion group was indeed defeated. They retreated soon and stood by unwillingly, watching the prey they captured being shared. There was also a lion biting his leg while driving away the hyenas just now, and now he was lying on the ground and panting, very angry.

"The lion group is so pitiful!" said Joanna.

An Feng cannot deny it: "The prevalence of the weak is the rule of nature. Lions have time to eat enough, and hyenas have the desperate situation of starving to death one after another."

"So." She nodded. "But I still sympathize with them."

"That is, being sympathetic is a normal person." An Feng said with a smile.

Perhaps it was everyone's sympathy at work, Darwin said: "According to the recent activities of the lions, they have been facing food shortages. The hunting team has lost one lioness and the number of hyenas is too large. If possible, it would be good for you to intervene in this matter."

Although it is best for humans not to interfere in destroying the laws of nature, poaching lions has long broken the rules, and the excess of hyenas is evidence. When the animal experts also said this, Bazer's voice came: "Save half! When everyone is ready, listen to my instructions!"

"No problem." An Feng picked up the sniper rifle, adjusted the scope magnification, and the gun was placed on the roof of the car. He observed the group of hyenas competing for gazelle. With so many numbers, only one gazelle is probably not enough to eat... Joanna beside him also set up the gun.

An Feng glanced at her and said to the communicator: "No. 3 is ready!"

"Received!" Bazer was like an army commander, with a decisive tone: "All units are ready and can now shoot freely!"

The sound fell, and the banging gunshot sounded. An Feng pulled the trigger. A spotted hyena in the scope was knocked over. The blood on his body sprung a few meters away and could no longer climb. He reacted quickly. After a shot, he pulled the bullet and pulled the shell back to load it again. One shot rolled the other hyena running in a hurry, but it could still get up and struggle. An Feng shot through its body with another shot.

After the second hyena fell to the ground, An Feng wanted to continue looking for other prey, but they were gone. Then everyone reported on the radio. An Feng reacted quickly and shot two preys, one Joanna, and the others had only eight, which was less than the expected ten.

After the hyenas were driven away, the lion group obviously had a chance. Despite the threat of gunfire, hunger was driving them forward and bite their prey again. This time they were not eating on the spot and planned to drag them back. According to Darwin, they still had cubs waiting for food at home.

Everyone put down their guns, changed into telephoto lenses, and took pictures of the back of the lion group.

Bazer said to everyone: "A good start, let's continue to walk down and keep up with the lions, and also see their families and the little lions."

The convoy starts and keep moving forward.

There is no road in the direction of the lion group and there are many stones, which is extremely challenging for the vehicle's off-road ability. If it were some pickup trucks, it would probably either scrape the chassis or trapped in the pile of rocks. The Wrangler was still easily passing through the obstacles and keeping a distance to follow the lion group that drags food.

They followed and patted along the way, with several vultures hovering above their heads.

Joanna looked at the sky: "Does this mean there are abandoned bodies nearby?"

"Maybe." An Feng glanced a few times. The place where the vultures circled was usually prey that was about to fall, or were being shared by hunters.

They followed him to a pond filled with rainwater, where the lions and their family lived.

The convoy stopped and getting too close would disturb them. Everyone picked up the telescope and observed the lion group from a distance. There was also a lazy lion in the lion group, with its large and thick mane very conspicuous. When the food came up, they came up to enjoy it overwhelmingly, and there were two or three cute little guys around.

Darwin's murmur spread on the radio: "It's strange, where is there a lioness Shirley? Let's drive closer. Look from the other direction."

The convoy slowly approached and moved to the side of the lion group. Without the obstruction of plants and trees, I finally saw the scene of the lion group enjoying food. The male lion and the lion were biting the corpse of the prey, chewing it with big mouths, blood splattering everywhere, and the little lions surrounded them, occasionally getting one or two pieces of meat. They were having a lot of fun.

"I saw it!" Darwin's voice turned sharper, "I bought it! Shirley was lying down, it was injured... It was a hunter!"

The convoy was only three or four hundred meters away from the Lion family. He set up a telescope, just like it happened in front of him. An Feng observed that the lion Darwin mentioned was a female lioness with brown hair. But the neck was blood-red, and the flesh and blood that turned out was very obvious...even ferocious.

Its neck was tightly tied by the hunter and was trapped in the flesh. Its skin was gone. The red flesh on its neck was turned out, and even flies were crawling on it. The lioness lay weakly, exhausted, and her apricot yellow eyes were full of despair. Not to mention eating, she was afraid that it would be difficult to breathe.

"Let's help him!" Katherine and everyone else in the team had this idea.

Darwin said: "There are lions around us. Our anesthesia guns are not enough, and the lions will attack us!"

"What should I do?" Joanna asked.

"Look at it again, we'll find a way to drive the lion away!" said Darwin.

"You prepare to anesthetize the gun. Wait until they are full before shooting and expelling!" Bazel said, "Matthew, pay attention to the lion group later. We are facing two situations. The lion group leaves or the angered lion attacks us. Don't look up to the bullets in your hand, the lion will not be afraid!"

An Feng has watched the video. A group of hunters went to hunt lioness, but was chased by the lion. It was shot several times, but it still rushed into the crowd and threw the hunter down. Unfortunately, it lost its accuracy, otherwise a slap or bite would be enough for the hunter to die. So the lazy lion is the most dangerous.

Waiting patiently, the tragic situation of the lioness Shirley won everyone's sympathy and anger towards the poachers. Due to the sharp decline of wild tigers, the hunters set their sights on the lions. The price of their bones increased tenfold in just ten years, and also attracted poachers who were blinded by interests.

The lion group finally had a full meal. Bazel asked everyone to fire into the sky, which immediately aroused the lion group's alertness. During the confrontation, they continued to shoot, perhaps because they couldn't run after eating or something else. After a few very domineering roars, the lion left with his lion group. Shirley also struggled to get up and followed behind.

"Good opportunity!"

The vehicle chased after him, and within the effective range of the anesthesia gun, he shot Shirley in the butt. The guy struggled a few times and fainted on the ground.

Everyone stared at the group of lions away. After confirming that they were safe, they left some people in the car and the rest got out.

Darwin took a first aid kit and came to Shirley to observe. When everyone saw its neck clearly, the contracting iron chain had already been trapped in the muscles. Darwin could not find a way to cut it off, and even the wound was infected. Even if it was cut off, it could not escape death.

Everyone thought of many ways, but in the end they could only face the weak ending. The lioness would die in two situations: infection or hunger. It was seriously injured and could not eat even if it could withstand the wound infection. Looking at its skinny appearance, it could last for a day or two at most.

"Damn poacher!" said Catherine.

Darwin shook his head and looked up at everyone: "Maybe we can give it a little easier."

"Shoot?" An Feng asked, and everyone nodded.

An Feng looked at the tragic appearance of the lioness. Living was also a torture, so it would be better to give it a sense of joy silently.

"That's it." Bazel turned his head and said, "Matthew, take the camera, record the environment and time, and prepare to report it later."

"I don't want to see it anymore." Catherine turned around.

An Feng stayed there and looked at it. Under the story of the camera and Darwin, everyone ended its life.

After the gunshot, there was regret and he returned to the same path relatively silently. An Feng looked up at the sky, and the vultures were still hovering. He thought he was aiming at the lioness here, but it was not. Their location was wrong. An Feng called Darwin in front: "Look at where the vultures are moving?"

Darwin looked at the sky and pointed to a sparse woods ahead: "That direction!"
