Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 248: Hyena Attack

Hyenas, these are species that live in grassland and semi-desert regions.

Their clans are very large, often consisting of fifty or sixty, or even close to a hundred.

Moreover, they are a matriarchal society where the status of males is very low. Furthermore, the male hyenas are total suck-ups. (As for how they suck up, you can look it up.)

Their hunting range is very large, up to 100 kilometers, and their running speed is also very fast.

Spotted hyenas are very fierce animals, their courage is incredibly high; even when they encounter wolf packs or lion prides, they dare to provoke them.

Especially when they encounter other beasts hunting or eating, they will swarm over and bite.

Of course, they often fail and have to leave many companions’ bodies behind. But it doesn’t stop them from continuing to do this.

It can be said that encountering hyenas results in inevitable conflict.

However, the hyena group surrounding Xu Yi and Lu Ke is smaller, approximately thirty or so.

When Lu Ke saw them, she immediately climbed up the tree.

After all, the number was too many, more than the wolf pack she and Xu Yi had dealt with last time.

"Xu Yi, watch out behind you." Lu Ke shouted, since Xu Yi was running towards a tree.

At this moment, Xu Yi suddenly stopped and turned around.

The knife in his hand swung out.

A spotted hyena opened its mouth, ready to bite Xu Yi’s hand.

Xu Yi’s knife struck into its mouth and sliced through.

"Hunted a spotted hyena, gained 4 points."

One point less than a wild wolf, which frustrated Xu Yi a bit.

The other spotted hyenas lunged towards Xu Yi, attempting to tear him apart.

However, Xu Yi had already climbed up the tree.

Three small tigers were instantly surrounded.

They shouted loudly, trying to call their parents.

The small tigers also had some defensive ability, the three of them huddled together, with their mouths wide open.

But this didn’t scare the hyenas.

A few strong hyenas attacked and started biting.

The three young tigers were no match; in moments, they were bitten to death.

"So cruel, such cute cubs just got bitten to death, and Xu Yi doesn’t step in." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Damn, where did this Saint Mother come from, actually wanting Xu Yi to save the tigers? If you don’t need your brain, please donate it to the hotpot restaurant, thanks."

"This is the wilderness, the bloody wilderness, if you mind, please don’t watch."

"These three little tigers aren’t even enough to fill the hyenas’ gaps, they probably already have their eyes on Xu Yi and Lu Ke."

"Being trapped up on the tree isn’t great, you can’t possibly stay up there forever, right?"

"I bet fifty cents, those six tigers will come back soon to avenge their cubs."

"Six tigers can totally massacre the hyenas, can’t wait for it to start. This scene, even documentaries can’t capture."

"Best if both sides fight until both are hurt, then Xu Yi and Lu Ke can take advantage and earn more points."

"Really not treating tigers as kings, these few hyenas are nothing."

Below the tree where Xu Yi and Lu Ke were, the hyenas surrounded, trying to climb the tree and bite Xu Yi and Lu Ke.

But they didn’t have the ability, could only roam below drooling and shouting endlessly.

"Xu Yi, what do we do?" Lu Ke looked at the spotted hyenas below, not knowing what to do.

If there were fewer, Xu Yi might have fought them.

The problem is there’s a lot, and they have no intention of leaving.

"Don’t worry, the tigers will be back soon, their young are here, they can’t hunt too far away." Xu Yi wasn’t too worried, these spotted hyenas won’t stay long, they know when to retreat.

"Look, aren’t they coming back?" As he spoke, Xu Yi pointed in the distance.

Sure enough, six tigers appeared a hundred meters away, some dragging the carcass of a sika deer.

The tigers seemed to have found the scent of hyenas, roared, dropped their prey and charged towards the hyena direction, very quickly.

The hyenas looked up for a moment, seemingly unaware of the incoming danger.

The tigers quickly arrived nearby.

Hyenas realized, immediately started fleeing.

The tigers, like wolves to sheep.

A tiger’s sharp claw grasped a hyena’s body, pulled hard, the blood instantly dyed the hyena red. Then, this tiger pounced on another hyena.

These hyenas started fleeing for their lives, scattering in all directions.

The tigers knew their young were killed by these hyenas, so they were extremely angry.

Here, is their territory.

Everywhere carried their scent, yet now hyenas attacked the territory, eating their young. This hatred runs deep as the ocean, cannot be left unavenged.

When they couldn’t see the tigers and hyenas’ figures anymore, Xu Yi quickly slid down the tree, Lu Ke followed suit.

Once down, Xu Yi immediately swung a knife at a hyena, wanting to see if he could gain points. After all, there were 5 hyenas on the ground, totaling 20 points.

"Hunted a hyena, gained 4 points."

"Take action, there’re points, then leave immediately." Xu Yi said, then swung his knife at another hyena.

Lu Ke also drew her dagger, pounced at a hyena beside her.

The 5 hyenas that hadn’t died on the ground were all killed by Xu Yi and Lu Ke, gaining 20 points, plus the one Xu Yi killed before, making it 24 points.

Now, their total score reached 593.

After dealing with the hyenas, Xu Yi and Lu Ke immediately ran towards the camp.

Otherwise, if the tigers came back, they wouldn’t be able to leave.

After all, there weren’t many hyenas, if there were sixty or seventy, perhaps the tigers would be in trouble.

On the way back, they didn’t encounter any beasts.

After running continuously for nearly an hour, they stopped.

This distance was far enough, the tigers shouldn’t chase them.

"Xu Yi, we’re near the trap we set up, should we take a look?" Lu Ke casually asked, as going back, they’d have to wait until tomorrow to check it.

"Checking it is good too, hopefully, there’s some gain." Xu Yi nodded, agreeing with Lu Ke’s suggestion.

They were indeed not far away, less than ten minutes away, so they could go take a look, then pick some wild herbs back to camp.

So, they headed towards the trap.

After a while, they heard noises.

Clearly, some animal was trapped.

So, they quickly ran over and saw a...
