“You need to learn how to hunt,” the lioness advised Nyx. “If they abandon you, you’ll have to survive on your own.”

A cub abandoned during its early years had little chance of survival. But if it learnt some hunting skills, its chances improved slightly.

The best scenario would be if the males raised her a bit longer before abandoning her, giving her a chance to join a pride.

But even to join a pride, she would need to know how to hunt. A pride wouldn’t support a lioness who couldn’t hunt.

Nyx flattened her ears. Although she believed her mates wouldn’t abandon her, her mother’s words made sense. She couldn’t continue lazing around like this.

During her cubhood, she could rely on her mates to provide for her, but if she had to live here until adulthood, she needed to learn to hunt as well.

The lioness was about to give a few more reminders when she suddenly lifted her head, catching a scent on the wind. She quickly turned and ran off, saying, “I have to go now. I’ll come see you again when I can.”

Her figure disappeared quickly. Nyx lifted her little head and looked around, spotting the two male lions returning from their hunt, running toward her.

“Was someone here!” Felix asked as he approached, catching the scent of another predator, likely an adult lioness.

He immediately grew alert, dropping the prey and scanning the surroundings.

Theon also hurried over to Nyx, carefully inspecting her from head to toe.

BRT “My mom came by earlier, Nyx admitted without hiding anything “She came to check on on me.

“Your mom?” The two male lions tensed at first but then relaxed.

Even if the lioness had come, Nyx couldn’t return to the Red Mountain Pride just yet, so they didn’t have to worry about her being taken away.

Realizing this, the two male lions became more tolerant and even planned to provoke the Red Mountain Pride a few more times in the future.

By intruding into the Red Mountain Pride’s territory, they could not only hunt better prey but also beat up Black Scar, who had nearly killed Nyx before.

Now, there was another benefit–they could create opportunities for Nyx’s mother to visit her more often., Seeing how well they had cared for Nyx, her mother would surely be satisfied and more willing to leave Nyx in their care.

Felix secretly planned the next fight in his mind but casually asked Nyx, “What do you want to eat tomorrow? Buffalo or warthog?”

They were already thinking about the next meal before finishing the current one, which explained why Nyx had grown so plump.

Nyx wasn’t picky. “Anything is fine.”

After becoming a lion cub, perhaps because she had experienced hunger, she found everything delicious.

After a full meal, drowsiness began to set in, Nyx struggled to keep her eyes open and instructed the two male lions, “When you go hunting tomorrow, remember to wake me up. I’ll go with you.”

1/4 Tue, 4 Mar Chapter 285 She wanted to observe the hunting process, learn the theory, and then practice on smaller prey later.

As she made plans in her mind. Nyx gradually succumbed in sleep.

When she woke up, the sim was already warming her back.

The surroundings were quiet, and the two male lions were nowhere to be seen.

臻密:35%日 Nyx scrambled to her feet, looking around in disbelief. She couldn’t believe Theon and Felix had ignored her request.

She had clearly told them she wanted to join them for the hunt today.

They hadn’t even woken her up Not long after, the two male lions returned from their hunt, only to find a sulking lioness waiting for them.

They panicked, unsure how to handle the situation, and immediately dropped their prey to comfort her. “What’s wrong, Nex Don’t you like the buffalo we caught today? We’ll go catch something else for you.”

Such doting behavior from male hons was unheard of on the savannah. Many curious animals were secretly watching the They sked, thinking. Being cared for like this and still daring to throw a tantrum–this lioness has quite the nerve. But it all because the two male lions had spoiled her. They circle around her, doing everything they could to cheer her up “Why didn’t you take me hunting?” Nyx couldn’t be cheered up.

She thought, Do they think I would slow them down? Or have they simply forgotten my request?”

The two male lions finally realized the issue and hurriedly explained, “You were sleeping so soundly”

Seeing the lioness so deeply asleep, they couldn’t bear to wake her. “Tomorrow–no, tonight. We’ll take you with us tonight.”

They didn’t really understand why Nyx suddenly wanted to join the hunt, but since she had made the request, they were more than willing to fulfill it.

At dusk, the sky was painted red by the setting sun, casting a golden glow over the grassland, like a grand and serene.

The branches swayed, and the shadows danced, Nyx perched on a large rock, finding the perfect vantage point to watch her mates hunt.

The two male hons were working together to hunt a wildebeest.

Startled, the herd of herbivores stampeded, kicking up clouds of dust. They ran for their lives but were no match for the lions speed.

Theon and Felix coordinated seamlessly, isolating one prey from the group before launching their attack with sharp fangs.

In just moments, the hunt was over.

Nyx’s heart raced. She sharpened her claws, eager to try it herself. The instincts of a predator were awakening within her.

When the male lions returned with their prize, she jumped down from the rock and ran to them, mimicking their movements–

stalking, charging, and pouncing at their necks.

2/4 Chapter 285 Of course, she didn’t actually bite down hard. She didn’t even reach them, as the size difference made her miss.

But the male lions finally understood her intentions. “Nyx wants to learn how to hunt?”

They exchanged glances, feeling a bit guilty. They had been so focused on feeding Nyx that they had neglected to teach her hunting skills. An experienced lioness would have started the lessons much earlier.

They thought first step in learning was observation. “Nyx, starting tomorrow, we’ll take you hunting with us every day”

Recalling how they had learned to hunt as cubs, the two male lions began taking Nyx along on their hunts, letting her observe the process closely.

After a few days, they felt she was ready and found a group of rabbits for Nyx to practice on Coincidentally, these were the same rabbits Theon had caught for testing the grass earlier.

They never learned their lesson and often lingered nearby to watch the drama, only to be targeted by the lions again.

Nyx focused on the largest male rabbit closest to her.

She crept forward silently, judging the right moment before launching her attack.

Compared to before, her body was no longer weak. She had gained strength, and her speed and stamina had improved significantly.

But she still failed.

The rabbits that dared to live near lions were experts at escaping.

After a frantic chase, Nyx came close several times but ultimately couldn’t catch the rabbit, watching it disappear into its burrow.

Failure was normal for a first attempt. The males encouraged Nyx to try again.

Since the rabbits were now on high alert, they moved to a different area and found another target for Nyx to practice on.

But whether it was because Nyx was naturally bad at hunting or the initial failure had shaken her confidence, she didn’t succeed after several attempts.

Exhausted and panting, she collapsed on the ground, and Theon gently pulled her into his embrace.

“It’s okay. Nyx.” Felix licked her fur. “Take your time.

It didn’t matter to them if she never learned to hunt. “We’re willing to take care of you forever.”

This wasn’t just sweet talk to placate her–it was the truth..

As male lions, not only did they raise cubs, but they were also willing to provide for an adult lioness. It might sound absurd, but they didn’t care.

Nestled against her mates‘ strong bodies, Nyx felt an overwhelming sense of security. She suspected this was another test from the Heavenly Law. But she refused to give up.

Even if her mates were willing to care for her indefinitely, she was determined to learn how to hunt.

She canceled playtime and cut her sleep in half, dedicating herself to relentless practice.

Her previous failures weren’t in vain. She calmly reviewed her mistakes and identified areas for improvement.

3/4 22:21 Tue, 4 Mar D Chapter 285 Instead of chasing rabbits, she used plants as practice targets, repeatedly adjusting her approach.

The rabbits, emboldened, mocked her from a distance Just give up “Stupid lion!”

you can’t even catch us, you’ll starve to death someday!”

The male lions let out a threatening roar, and the rabbits immediately trembled, shut their mouths, and retreated into their But when the male hons went out to hunt and were temporarily absent, the rabbits became bold again.

A large gray rabbit even hopped out of its burrow, teasing Nyx, “Come and catch me! You can’t catch me!”

Nyx narrowed her eyes and licked her claws.
