“We have to migrate too, Nyx said, quickly running to Theon and Felix, her tone urgent.

Even though there seemed to be more prey around now because the herbivores were migrating, it wouldn’t be long before they all disappeared.

If they got lost in this false abundance, they’d soon find themselves in a food shortage. More importantly, they needed

waler.

The riverbed was already dry. If the temperature kept rising, all the animals left here would die of thirst.

Lions rarely migrate with their prey, but Theon and Felix didn’t object in Nyx’s suggestion.

They trusted Nyx completely, and without hesitation, nodded and said, “Alright, let’s go now.”

Even if Nyx’s judgment was wrong, it didn’t matter. They could treat it as a carefree wandering trip. As long as the three of them were together, it didn’t matter where they went.

Nyx hesitated for a moment. “Wait for me. I’ll visit the Red Mountain Pride first.”

She wanted to warn the lionesses.

For over a year, they had lived near the Red Mountain Pride. Whenever her mother and aunties could, they’d come to visit her, and sometimes, when they had time, they’d bring small prey as gifts.

Nyx didn’t need the food, but she could feel their concern for her. For animals, this level of care was rare.

The leader of the Red Mountain Pride, Scar, had gotten used to being taunted by Theon and Felix. He now ignored their provocations and turned a blind eye to the lionesses often wandering outside their territory.

When Nyx entered his territory, he didn’t even bat an eye.

It wasn’t because he trusted Nyx, but because he was afraid that if he looked at her too long, he’d anger the two terrifying sub–adult males, and they’d beat him up.

The pride was resting under a tree.

When the lionesses saw Nyx, they were surprised. Hearing her say they needed to migrate shocked them even more.

This year was definitely hotter than usual. But to ask the pride to leave their long–time territory and move upstream to find water was a tough decision.

There were still young cubs in the pride, and they couldn’t just pack up and leave like Nyx and the others.

Nyx tried to convince them, but she couldn’t change their minds, so she had to leave first.

The scorching sun baked the earth.

The vegetation had been devastated. The lush grasses from the rainy season were now all withered, and the land had lost its vitality. The prairie was gradually turning yellow.

Without rain, even the ground cracked into deep lines, and everything looked desolate.

Nyx carefully judged
