Barry poured the beans out of the bamboo tube and told all the information he knew so far. He didn't even dare to mix in any of his own guesses for fear that it would affect Bifang's judgment.
Andrea on the side was adding more professional details and explanations to Barry's words.
The two of them talked and added, explaining everything from the disappearance of the lion king Cecil to the investigation that found that all the cubs in Cecil's pride had disappeared.
All the information was combined with the severely injured lion in front of them, and the onlookers became more and more frightened as they watched.
This magnificent lion was undoubtedly the leader of the Cecil pride that disappeared at this time.
The other party took away all the cubs and the king of lions, and also killed many female lions. This meant that the entire lion group was almost wiped out!
Only when the power of the lion king is strong enough can the number of lions he protects prosper, otherwise they will continue to decline or even disappear.
The female lions in a pride are basically stable. They usually stay in the same pride from birth until death, but occasionally they can accept new lionesses and are the anchor point in the pride.
The current situation is that the leading lion king has died, there is no longer a protector, all the cubs have disappeared, and even the lioness herself has suffered a lot. The remaining three or two kittens will undoubtedly become those who have been killed.
"New lions" accepted by other ethnic groups.
[The other party has a very strong purpose. As long as Cecil the Lion King, I suspect that there is a preemptive hunting behavior by the employer, but why they want to kill Cecil, I don’t understand, but this is all my guess. 】
After hesitating for a moment, Andrea added.
[I’m too professional, I don’t understand. Can you explain it in a more serious way?]
[Maybe someone should pay first and then organize the hunt? 】
【Ah, isn’t that the case all the time? 】
[No, many poachers kill the prey first and then find a buyer]
【Inside the temple】
Cecil is not an unknown character.
There have been many male lions on this vast grassland, and the largest number of them were homeless wanderers. Among them were teenagers who had not experienced the world, some were adventurers in their prime who still exuded charm, and some were beaten by others.
Defeat the old lion that was driven away.
These wanderers sometimes act alone and survive in secret, and sometimes they form a male support group. Before one of the members conquers another lion group, they are good buddies who share the joys and sorrows, wandering around the grasslands and tracking migrating prey herds.
.
As a lion with its own tribe, there is no doubt that it has to defeat at least one male lion of the same kind in order to seize it. It is younger, stronger, and more charming, and is more powerful than most stray male lions.
.
But among the lion kings, there are also three, six or nine levels.
Some male lions are so capable and charismatic that they can even control other nearby lions and maintain two "homes" at the same time.
What's more, for example, Scar, the lion king of the Masai Mara grassland, was in charge of five lion groups at the same time at his peak, and his reign lasted for nine years. In the end, he died of injuries and illnesses. He was one of the few lion kings to die a good death.
There are also those who are famous for being able to fight against many, such as the lion king Molun. Its name means "warrior" in Maasai language, and it is well-deserved. When Molun was eight years old, he once fought without any help.
A single lion, one against four, wins the battle together, and becomes famous in one battle.
Or, instead of relying on ability, rely on appearance. Kalamas, the maned king of East Africa, is not famous for his military achievements, but for his shocking hair. The manes of most male lions only grow near the neck.
Some male lions with sparse hair have even less manes, but Kalamath is just the opposite. Not only does its mane surround the entire neck, but even the abdomen has a handsome mane. This situation only occurs when it has become extinct.
Appeared on the Cape Lion.
These talented lions, who are stronger than ordinary lions, can be called "legendary lions". They can not only have their own tribe, but also have a group of "fans" among humans.
Cecil the Lion King is also one of the legendary lion kings.
It can fight. Cecil has defeated many wandering lions and has a great record. He has also been able to fight one against two without losing.
It is majestic. Cecil's appearance is very good. The mane is not only very thick, perfectly surrounding the neck, but also black and very domineering.
Although he is not as good at fighting as Molun and not as handsome as Kalamas, Cecil has the advantages of both. He is a well-rounded lion who is both handsome and able to fight. He has always been the star lion in this grassland.
But for wild animals, individual fame is not a good thing.
People are afraid of being famous, but pigs are afraid of being strong, let alone a rare animal that is favored by poachers.
The more famous you become, the better you can sell it for a good price. Most of the legendary lion kings almost died at the hands of poachers, which is why the death of Scar, the lion king, is so rare and valuable.
It is very possible that there is a wealthy employer who is eyeing this majestic and powerful legendary lion.
And there may be more than one employer.
Bi Fang suspected that the person who wanted to hunt the lion king and the person who wanted the lion cub were not the same person, but they might have been handled by the same poaching gang.
Catching cubs obviously means raising them in captivity, not killing them.
Those who like to keep male lions in captivity, from a psychological and behavioral point of view, undoubtedly believe that they are superior to lions and choose to keep lions as pets.
The person who wants to hunt the lion king is undoubtedly a weaker person in terms of psychological behavior. He believes that the lion is extremely powerful, so he needs to kill the lion to prove that he is stronger and show off his achievements.
The former is more like an owner of capital, while the latter is an ordinary middle class person.
Just like a king will not kill a lion himself to prove himself, but will only raise it in the back garden, a warrior needs to prove his bravery.
However, judging from the methods Barry mentioned, it is very likely that the tasks for the two employers were handled by the same organization.
Just when Bifang felt that he had vaguely grasped the context of the development of the matter, an unpleasant smell mixed with the earthy and bloody smell in the air floated into his nasal voice.
The smell is very special, much like strong body odor.
somebody is coming!
Bi Fang immediately realized this, and kept slowing down his breathing. Disguised as a shrub, his whole body seemed to grow from a tree, inhaling and exhaling, following the rhythm of the wind.
The fine leaves made a swishing sound as they rubbed against each other, and the broken leaves on the ground continued to break, making a crisp clicking sound.
It seemed as if something huge had waded through a wide path among the tall shrubs and grasses.
Hearing the sound, the lion struggled even harder, but was unable to do anything. It could only slowly and feebly drag a small skid mark on the ground.
Everyone in front of the screen held their breath and did not dare to speak out. Even if they knew that their speaking out would not affect the reality that was happening, everything was a subconscious behavior.
The drones all stayed quietly among the branches of the trees, without a trace.
Bi Fang took out the dagger, looked at the shadow above his head, and after confirming that there was no reflection, he carefully reached out and used the reflection from the blade to spy on the corner of the intruder.
