nNight fell.

n

n

nA silver moon rose up the branches.

n

n

n

n

nThe lionesses had returned.

n

n

nThey seemed a little dejected as they only brought back a small warthog.

n

n

nAisha was limping and seemed to be injured.

n

n

nThe four female lions dragged the warthog into the bushes and placed it in front of Xi’er, preparing to enjoy it with her.

n

n

n

n

n“Roar—”

n

n

nAt this moment, the lion suddenly jogged back from the darkness. Its mane fluttered in the wind majestically.

n

n

nThe four female lions’ stomachs were rumbling with hunger. Just as they were about to quickly take a few bites of their prey, the male lion suddenly roared angrily and dashed over, slamming its claws at them!

n

n

nHis actions were fierce and merciless!

n

n

n

n

nThe female lions retreated in panic.

n

n

nThe lion bared its teeth and growled as if it was threatening and reprimanding them.

n

n

nThen, he lay down beside the prey and enjoyed a fresh dinner in satisfaction.

n

n

nThe five female lions stood at the side, pacing back and forth. They were exhausted and hungry, but they could only drool.

n

n

nLittle Curly Tail ran to his mother’s side and shouted.

n

n

nAisha looked at him lovingly. She had no choice but to lie on the ground and feed him with milk.

n

n

n

n

nHer injured front leg was trembling slightly.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye stood on a branch and quietly watched this cold-blooded and selfish scene filled with motherly love.

n

n

nHe climbed down from the tree and walked over to the lion who was chowing down. He was about to bite a piece of meat for his mother.

n

n

nHowever, before he could get close, his father suddenly raised his claw and slapped him on the head, causing him to fall to the ground. He let out an angry and low growl, his gaze cold and merciless!

n

n

nChu Xiaoye was in pain.

n

n

nAnd furious!

n

n

nThe lionesses hunted hard and nurtured the lion’s offspring, while the lion enjoyed the fruits of their labor. It had just eaten its fill in the morning, and at night, it was still snatching such a pitiful amount of food from the lionesses!

n

n

nDamn it!

n

n

n

n

nHe knew that this was the rule of the pride of lions. There was no way to change it.

n

n

nHowever, he could not tolerate it!

n

n

n“Pfft—”

n

n

nHe suddenly got up, stuck up his butt, and faced his father, the lion who was slowly chewing his food and let out a loud and melodious fart!

n

n

nBlack smoke came out from his butt!

n

n

nRecently, he always felt that there were always these kinds of stinky farts in his body that he could release whenever he wanted to. It was very satisfying!

n

n

nAn extremely strong stench instantly assaulted the lion’s head and its gluttonous mouth!

n

n

n“Ouch! Ugh—”

n

n

nThe lion jumped up on the spot!

n

n

nAt the same time, he spat out the flesh that he had just eaten!

n

n

nAfter Chu Xiaoye finished farting, he ran away. He moved his limbs and ran very quickly. He dashed to the side of the big tree and jumped up, quickly climbing onto a branch!

n

n

nThe lion chased after him furiously. He raised his head and stood under the tree, baring his fangs and glaring at him fiercely.

n

n

nThe five female lions immediately took this opportunity to snatch the food!

n

n

n

n

nSoon.

n

n

nThe small warthog was eaten clean by the hungry lionesses.

n

n

nThe lion was flustered and exasperated, but did not dare to do anything to the five female lions.

n

n

nAfter all, these female lions were his source of food.

n

n

nHe could only raise his head and roar angrily at Chu Xiaoye for a while before leaving resentfully.

n

n

nLittle Curly Tail’s admiration for his brother was like a torrential river that flowed endlessly. It was like the overflowing of the Yellow River that could not be stopped!

n

n

nHe even dared to tease his father. He was so awesome!

n

n

nThe female lions ate some food. Although they could not satiate their hunger, it was better than nothing. They all lay down and started feeding the cubs.

n

n

nAisha raised her head and looked at Chu Xiaoye on the tree. Her eyes were filled with love and gentleness as she softly called him down to eat.

n

n

nXi’er looked at Chu Xiaoye with a motherly gaze filled with love and gentleness as well.

n

n

nWhen Chu Xiaoye saw that the lion had gone far away, he climbed down the tree and walked to Aisha’s side. He laid down and helped his mother lick the wound on her leg.

n

n

nAt this moment, the night and the lions were quiet and peaceful.

n

n

nAfter the female lions and the young cubs fell asleep, Chu Xiaoye climbed onto a big tree and lay down on a thick branch. He fell asleep while feeling very tired.

n

n

nThe tree gave him a greater sense of security than the ground.

n

n

nBut.

n

n

nHe had forgotten the importance of teamwork.

n

n

nHe even forgot that he was still young.

n

n

nIt was not a good idea for a young cub to sleep alone.

n

n

nJust as he was sleeping soundly, a dark head popped out from the dense foliage above him.

n

n

nThe head was triangular, flat and huge. Under the cold moonlight, its eyes flickered with an icy cold light.

n

n

nIt was a python!

n

n

nAlthough it was not very big, it was nearly three meters long!

n

n

nIt spat out its scarlet tongue, raised its head, and slid down. Its thick and long body quickly wrapped Chu Xiaoye’s small body around the tree trunk.

n

n

nThen, it slowly tightened!

n

n

nChu Xiaoye suddenly woke up!

n

n

nA stench assaulted him!

n

n

nAt the same time, he felt intense pain all over his bones!

n

n

nHe also found it increasingly difficult to breathe!

n

n

nHe opened his eyes and was shocked to see a ferocious-looking python spitting its scarlet tongue at him!

n

n

nAnd his small body was already tightly wrapped around the branch by this python’s thick and long body!

n

n

n“Roar!”

n

n

nHe hurriedly opened his mouth and struggled to make a weak cry for help.

n

n

nBut.

n

n

nThe voice was too soft so the lionesses did not hear it.

n

n

nThe python’s body tightened!

n

n

nThat scarlet snake tongue seemed to be mocking and ridiculing him as it shook on his face without restraint!

n

n

nChu Xiaoye was shocked, anxious, and furious, but he felt powerless and could not resist at all.

n

n

nHis breathing became more and more difficult.

n

n

nAll the bones in his body were almost crushed.

n

n

nHe began to despair.

n

n

nWhen he was a human, he was most afraid of snakes.

n

n

nHe did not expect to die in the stomach of a snake after becoming a lion.

n

n

nHow ironic.

n

n

nHe, a majestic lion, had yet to become a lion king, had yet to expand his territory, had yet to have a group of wives and concubines, and was about to die before he could conquer the world.

n

n

nHow humiliating!

n

n

nWhen pythons hunted animals, they would first strangle the animals with their bodies, then open their mouths and swallow them slowly.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye already found it extremely hard to breathe.

n

n

nIn this moment of despair, the strange heat in his abdomen started to become restless and quickly spread throughout his body.

n

n

nThe pain in his body suddenly lessened.

n

n

nHis limbs were full of strength!

n

n

nHowever, he was tightly bound by the python’s thick and long body. With his small body, he could not break free no matter how much strength he had.

n

n

nAt this moment, he suddenly realized that although his neck was tightly strangled and he could no longer breathe, he was still conscious!

n

n

nHis consciousness was exceptionally clear!

n

n

nHis heart gradually stopped beating!

n

n

nIt was as if he had cultivated the Turtle Breathing Technique. Even though he was not breathing or his heart was not beating, his mind was still clear!

n

n

nHowever, this was not a solution.

n

n

nIn this situation, he did not know how long he could last.

n

n

nHe could not wait forever.

n

n

nEven if the lionesses woke up, they might not be able to save him.

n

n

nTherefore, he could only rely on himself!

n

n

nHe closed his eyes and slowly relaxed his body. He did not move, did not breathe, and did not have a heartbeat. He pretended that he had been strangled and fainted.

n

n

nIndeed.

n

n

nThe python tightened its grip for a while before releasing its body. At the same time, it opened its bloody mouth and tried to swallow his head!

n

n

n“Roar!”

n

n

nChu Xiaoye suddenly jumped up, opened his mouth, and bit down hard on its jaw!

n

n

nA python did not have venomous fangs!

n

n

nEven if they had venomous fangs, he could only risk his life!

n

n

n“Chi!”

n

n

nAlthough his teeth were small, they were exceptionally sharp. They instantly pierced through the python’s lower jaw!

n

n

nThe python’s huge mouth was no longer able to close. It was in so much pain that its head swayed and its body started to twist violently!

n

n

nThat thick body wrapped around Chu Xiaoye once again!

n

n

nHowever, Chu Xiaoye bit its lower jaw fiercely. Those two rows of sharp teeth seemed to be embedded in it and did not move at all!

n

n

nIf the python were to use brute force and fall from the tree with Chu Xiaoye, Chu Xiaoye would probably faint and become its meal again!

n

n

nHowever, in its anger and pain, it used its thick body to wrap Chu Xiaoye tightly around the branch again, wanting to strangle him to death!

n

n

nIt never would have thought that its massive killing power, which even a mature lion would be afraid of, would not be able to crush this young cub’s body, let alone kill it!

n

n

nThe snake and the lion were in a deadlock on the tree, biting and strangling each other, neither willing to let go.

n

n

nThe night quietly passed.

n

n

nWhen the sky in the east began to turn white and dawn arrived, the python’s thick and long body suddenly loosened and it fell from the tree!

n

n

nIts jaw was still dripping with blood as Chu Xiaoye bit on it and did not let go!

n

n

nIt fell into the grass and died with a grievance!
