Survival Arena

Chapter 60 Racial Consciousness, The Way of the Lion King

The wildebeest, after being bitten by Chu Ge, was already in a panic, and with the assault from the other two lionesses, escape was simply impossible.

It was quickly suffocated to death by Chu Ge's bite.

Chu Ge's biting force was very strong, something he had deliberately trained for.

He trained his biting force every day, and it had already surpassed that of many male lions.

Most male lions rarely take part in hunting, especially after becoming the Lion King; they lie around all day and only use their mouths for eating, so naturally their biting force isn't too strong.

But Chu Ge was different.

He was evolving into a super male lion.

Big Hair and Two Hair ran over and began to eat with the family.

Now, Chu Ge's mindset was very relaxed.

He had surpassed the form of Survival Entity; even if he were to die now, he wouldn't be at a loss.

A two-year-old male lion in a pride is to be expelled.

They are like teenagers entering puberty, irritable, and will compete with the Lion King for breeding rights, so the Lion King will drive them away.

However, in this pride, there was no Lion King, and Chu Ge would not be expelled.

The mane on his head was very short and far from as majestic as that of adult male lions, but compared to the lionesses, he was more eye-catching.

Not far away, the cheetah, seeing its prey taken, could only leave regretfully.

And a hundred meters away,

the filming crew was marveling at Chu Ge's progress.

"This little guy will become a super Lion King, he's too strong" a black woman exclaimed.

They had witnessed Chu Ge's growth; as an expert on African animals, it was also her first time seeing such a strategic lion.

A white man chuckled, "In the future, the title should be 'The Rise of Simba' or 'The Lion King,' right?"

The bearded man said irritably, "That would be copyright infringement."

Without realizing it, Chu Ge had become the protagonist of their documentary.

After the meal was over, the lion pride continued on their way.

Next, it was time to find a place to nap.

Chu Ge marched forward, chest out and head held high, enjoying the caress of the wind.

Ever since his first successful hunt, his mindset had changed.

He didn't have to hold back any longer!

Now, his ability to face challengers alone on the savannah, among the predators, should be considered first-rate; cheetahs and hyenas could only hide when encountering him alone.

"In another two years, it will be time to challenge a large lion pride,"

Chu Ge quietly thought, as he treated all of this as a reality.

He hoped that before he died, he could leave these family members with a stable pride.

The larger the pride, the safer they would be.

Half an hour later.

They arrived at a small grove to rest.

This time, Chu Ge saw a rock python coiled in a large tree.

The rock python wasn't too big; Chu Ge roared at it, and the serpent, flicking its forked tongue, leisurely slithered away.

A lion king should be just like this!

Chu Ge thought smugly, then flopped down on the ground to rest.

Big Hair and Two Hair played nearby, while Lusha and Jenny licked each other.

For some reason, Chu Ge felt Lusha had aged.

Lusha's face bore many scars, which made her look somewhat terrifying; the filming crew had even specifically named her the Ghost-faced Lioness.

Feeling Chu Ge's gaze, Lusha lifted her head and roared at him.

She seemed very irritable, ready to fight with a fierce look.

Chu Ge was stunned; what was wrong with this one?

Menopause?

Lusha suddenly stood up and lunged at him, biting, forcing him to keep retreating.

Then, Jenny also rushed over, biting at Chu Ge.

But they didn't truly attack, it seemed they were just trying to intimidate him.

Chu Ge couldn't fight back and was forced to retreat from the small grove.

Big Hair and Two Hair came over, wanting to ease the tense atmosphere, but even Big Hair ended up being chased and roared at, scaring him into hiding behind Chu Ge.

At that moment, Chu Ge understood.

He and Big Hair were both male lions, now two years old, and it was time to leave their elders and strike out on their own.

In the pride, such behavior may seem like the Lion King's dominance, but in reality, it also avoided the awkward consequences of inbreeding. Both lions and tigers did this, so their offspring would only be stronger, not weaker.

Chu Ge hadn't expected the lionesses to have this awareness as well.

He sighed.

It was time to separate.

Without him and Big Hair, Lusha and the others would live better, not getting hurt with every hunt.

He called out to Big Hair twice, then turned and left.

Big Hair glanced at Lusha, Jenny, and Two Hair, letting out a low call.

Lusha roared at him, scaring him into shrinking his neck and reluctantly following Chu Ge.

Two Hair called out to his two brothers, but it didn't follow them.

Perhaps that was racial consciousness.

Even animals understood when it was time to leave.

Lusha and Jenny lay on the ground, watching Chu Ge and Big Hair leave.

Their gaze didn't change until the two male lions disappeared on the horizon, then they finally lowered their heads.

Not far away, the film crew zoomed in their cameras, and they suddenly felt that the Ghost-faced Lioness's gaze was filled with such sorrow.

It was she who had fed and raised the two male lions, saved them from the threat of the Spotted Hyenas, and hunted despite injuries to nurture the two younger lions.

Now, she herself had driven Chu Ge and Big Hair away.

What she was feeling inside, humans could not imagine.

"This is natural selection, even animals know how to carry on their legacy," the black woman said calmly.

The other three men felt somewhat teary-eyed.

They had accompanied this little lion pride for over a year, witnessing Lusha and Jenny fighting bloodily more than once for the three cubs.

They had not expected the separation to come so soon.

Chu Ge was also feeling downcast. He tried to adjust, convincing himself that this was the racial consciousness of the African lion.

After all, he was human and would have to leave eventually, not interfering too much with Lusha and the others.

"Roar..."

Big Hair followed behind Chu Ge, letting out a low roar.

He was asking why mom was driving them away.

Chu Ge let out an impatient roar, and he quieted down.

Big Hair was actually very ferocious, especially crazy when facing prey, a trait learned from Lusha.

However, he always kept a respectful demeanor in front of Chu Ge.

Since childhood, Chu Ge had been the most intriguing existence to him, and his most trusted elder brother.

"Next, we'll establish our own pride. I will build a super pride that will dominate the African continent!"

Chu Ge was full of fighting spirit, trying to forget the sadness of parting.

Meanwhile, after a discussion, the film crew decided to follow Chu Ge and Big Hair.

Male lions always drew more attention, and they had long considered Chu Ge the protagonist of their documentary.

Watching Chu Ge's determined figure and robust body, the film crew couldn't help but look forward to the new chapter.

The two young male lions had grown up, and they were now set to challenge the Lion King with full force.

Every male lion is a legend, going through wandering, life-and-death battles, defending their home, and eventually, being driven out in their old age.

Not all lion prides have just one male lion as the king; some have two adult male lions.

And roaming male lions are even more extreme, possibly traveling in groups of four or five.

However, a pride has only so many lionesses, so even the bonded male lions must duel for mating rights.

Chu Ge already had hunting skills and with Big Hair as his lieutenant, he was confident about the future.
