Chapter 167: The Counterattack of the Buffalo Leader
Chapter 167: The buffalo leader’s counterattack
As long as Nikka and the others launch an attack, these buffaloes will not be able to quickly run into the territory of the lions next door.
After Nika saw this situation, he asked Feifei and several other female lions to surround the buffaloes from both sides.
Generally speaking, when lions hunt, they outflank them from both sides, and then let one lion drive away the prey. When they start to run away, they aim at a target prey and keep chasing it. Along the way, there will be
Other lions continued to join in the fight. In the end, everyone worked together to capture the prey.
This time Nika also used the same outflanking tactic. He first asked Feifei and several female lions to surround the buffalo herd from both sides, while he himself drove the buffalo away.
When these buffaloes saw a lion running towards them, they naturally started to scatter in all directions.
Nika aimed at a sub-adult male buffalo. He felt that this one was more suitable for them to hunt. It was not very big, but it was not a small buffalo either. It weighed about four to five hundred kilograms. As long as they successfully hunted, they could bring down the entire lion group.
Have a hearty meal.
When this sub-adult male buffalo saw that he had become Nika's target, he hurriedly ran towards his team.
However, Feifei and the other lionesses quickly pounced on the buffalo.
Although this buffalo was about to reach adulthood and was relatively large, it quickly fell to the ground under the attack of six female lions.
With victory in sight, Nika was very happy and immediately went over and bit the buffalo's neck.
This buffalo was attacked by six female lions and had no power to fight back. It lay on the ground and could only struggle helplessly.
Nika had bitten the buffalo in the neck, and the other lionesses jumped on the buffalo to prevent it from getting back up.
The buffalo opened its mouth and let out some low screams.
‘Moo!——’
This buffalo, looking at the buffalo herd that had run away, let out a moo, as if calling its companions.
But its companions just stood in the distance and had no intention of coming back to rescue it.
Nika and Feifei were very happy, feeling that this buffalo would soon become their prey.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened to them. The group of buffaloes that had run away actually ran back again.
The leader is a very tall and strong buffalo, weighing more than a thousand kilograms. He is the male leader of this group of buffaloes.
Its name is Des, and it is a mature male buffalo. It has a very high status among this buffalo herd. All the buffaloes in this buffalo herd must obey the leadership of Des.
These days, Desi lives in the lion group and another lion kingdom in Chuye. It seems to know that this place is the junction of the two lion groups, and they may be afraid of each other and will not attack.
they.
That night, Dees was also careless. He felt that the lions of the two prides did not dare to attack their group of large buffaloes. After all, buffaloes are one of the five major beasts in Africa. They are huge and do not dare to prey on them.
to attack them.
Only the top predators like lions dare to attack buffalo herds. Smaller predators such as hyenas, cheetahs and leopards generally do not dare to attack buffalo herds at all.
At most, they will attack some old buffaloes that have been driven out by the buffalo herd, or some small buffalo that have not yet grown up. Only large predators like lions have the strength to compete with the buffalo herd.
But what Dis didn't expect was that tonight, he would be attacked by six female lions from the Chuye pride.
One of the sub-adult male buffalos actually fell into the hands of six female lions, Nika and Feifei.
This was a result that Dis didn't expect. He originally thought that he could lead the buffalo group into the territory of the lion group next door.
But the buffalo captured by Nika still heard its final cry for help. It couldn't bear to look at its companions and was killed by Nika and other female lions.
So Qi Qi made a bold decision to lead the buffalo herd back to rescue his companions.
Originally, when lions attacked a herd of buffaloes, the buffaloes would not always just run away. Sometimes, they would join forces to fight back.
Once the lions encounter a situation where the buffalo herd counterattacks, they have no choice but to give up hunting. Because the buffalo herd is so powerful, no matter how many lions there are, when faced with a buffalo herd that is stronger in number and physical strength,
They can only give up hunting.
If the lions want to hunt successfully, they can only divide and surround the buffalo herd if they are not united, then find a suitable target and hunt it together.
If the buffalo herd is united, no matter how many lions there are, it will not help. Let alone the female lions coming to hunt. Even if the male lions come together, it is unlikely to defeat the united buffalo herd.
Nika was unlucky this time. She met the buffalo leader Dis and decided to fight back against the lions to save their companions.
When Des and a group of buffaloes ran up to Nika and Feifei from a distance, they were dumbfounded.
Feifei and the other lionesses wanted to run away.
But when it comes to the meat on your lips, how can you throw it away?
Nika drank up Feifei and the others who were trying to escape, and asked them to continue fighting to capture this buffalo.
Nika felt that as long as he did not run away, the buffalo herd might not dare to come forward. After all, lions are the natural enemies of buffaloes, and they are naturally more afraid of lions.
Feifei and the others saw that Nika was unwilling to give up this capture, so they had no choice but to obey Nika's arrangements.
However, this time Nika thought wrong again. This time Dis was determined to rescue their companions. Seeing that Nika hadn't escaped yet, it immediately rushed up.
Since there is a moon in the sky, the visibility is relatively good. This group of buffaloes will not be unable to rescue their companions just because it is night.
Dis stared into the two huge bull's eyes, lowered his head, and watched Nika let out some low mooing sounds.
Nika saw that Des wanted to attack it, so it had to temporarily let go of the buffalo's neck. This buffalo had already been bitten by Nika until it had only one breath left.
Now even if Nika released its neck, it did not stand up immediately, but just lay there and panted slowly.
Nika stared at Des and let out some low growling sounds. It wanted to scare Des away with its roar.
But Dis, relying on his large number of cattle, certainly didn't take Nika seriously. When he saw that Nika didn't run away, he immediately charged towards Nika.
Because Nika was too close to Des, when it saw Des attacking it, it tried to dodge, but was unable to kill it. Des's huge body crashed into Nika like a car.
Nika couldn't dodge, so Des's long horns scratched the front legs. Fortunately, it had already dodged to the side. Des only scratched the skin of Nika's front legs with its long horns, and there was no injury.
To the point.
But even so, the skin of Nika's front legs was already bleeding, leaving a long blood mark on it.
Facing the powerful buffalo leader, Nika felt that she was too small. She was really vulnerable to the buffalo leader's attack.
In fact, not to mention that Nika is vulnerable, even the other female lions are the same. When Des came back to attack them, the six female lions could only dodge, and they did not dare to fight with their huge size and infinite strength.
The buffalo chieftain contest.
Nika was already injured. She knew that today's hunt had failed and there was no need to worry anymore. As long as the buffalo leader decided to rescue their companions, the lionesses would have no choice but to give up this hunting operation.
The sub-adult male buffalo on the ground had been bitten to the point of death by Nika. However, the timely appearance of the buffalo leader gave it the possibility of rebirth.
When the lionesses left his body, he panted on the ground for a while and then regained his strength. He slowly stood up from the ground and returned to the buffalo herd.
Nika saw that his prey had escaped, and the leader of the buffalo group had led the entire buffalo group to compete with these female lions.
Faced with the sudden change, Nika could only choose to run away. Because they were no match for these buffaloes.
When Nika led Feifei and the others to escape back, Disi and their buffalo herd were still chasing Nika. After chasing for several hundred meters, they gave up the pursuit.
Nika led the five lionesses back to the camp in embarrassment.
The hunt failed, and Nika was a little embarrassed. When it came to Chu Ye, it showed a helpless look.
As soon as Chuye saw Nika's expression, he knew that they had failed in hunting this time. However, Chuye didn't care. After all, as long as he was willing to help Nika and the others, they would definitely be able to hunt successfully.
It's just that Nika feels a little embarrassed. They have been unable to hunt prey for several days in a row. They failed again tonight, making it feel a little unable to hold its head up in front of Chu Ye.
Nika lay in front of Chu Ye, sticking out his tongue to feed the wound on his front leg. He knew that he had to feed the wound quickly to make it heal quickly.
After animals are injured, they almost always use their tongues to feed their wounds, which is a form of self-healing.
They cannot treat wounds like humans, and can only use their tongues to feed their wounds. This is because there are some acidic substances in the saliva of animals, which have a disinfecting effect.
Chuye didn't notice the wound on Nika's front leg at first, thinking that Nika was too tired and lay down next to him to rest. It wasn't until Nika lay next to him and used his tongue to feed the wound,
Only then did Chu Ye see it.
