hunt and eat

Chapter 718 In the End, Nothing Has Changed
What is the concept of family?
Bloodlines... Emotions... Memory

After all these things are in place, do I even get something like a family?
However, I always feel... a bit different from Ah Chou.

On an empty ice field, the red lotus lion sat in the icy wind, thinking in a daze.

Lying at the feet was a jet-black fellow who attacked violently because of the invasion of the territory, but was knocked unconscious by himself a few times.

Let's just say they are of the same family. Although they are subspecies, they are all the same kind of creature after hundreds of years.

Speaking of which, in fact, there is a species in the snow mountain that is very similar to me, which seems to be called the snow lion by the local humans... Although it is very weak, it seems to have a similar relationship with the red lotus lion race, but it is far inferior It is closer to the previous subspecies with black hair.

A few slaps casually woke up the subspecies lion at his feet, and the red lotus lion yawned hard while propping his chin with one hand.

It has not been officially named yet, but after thousands of years, it was dubbed the "Golden Lion" by people, and gradually turned from a subspecies to a monster of the original species.

Seeing the guy who broke into his territory in front of him, the violent impulse drove the monster to attack again, but as if thinking of something, it suddenly rolled to the entrance of the cave one after another, and the shivering litter The cubs are behind them.

The way of guarding is very interesting, the strongest ones are on the outermost side, and the innermost one is the thinnest individual.

The red lotus lion, who had a panoramic view of all this, nodded in satisfaction.

In fact, it doesn't know why it feels satisfied. It may be the kind of blood relationship that must be protected as long as the offspring are strong or weak.

At least the primitive habit of the red lotus lion family, which can be abandoned at any time as long as it is not strong enough, cannot be seen in this subspecies.

However, his irritable and irritable character is as usual.

【Hey, that hairy guy over there... Would you like to be my family? 】

Since there is no word for family in the animal language, Red Lotus Lion had to change several complicated words, and it is not known whether the other party can understand it.

Sure enough, the golden lion, who didn't understand what the other party meant at all, just stared at the red lotus lion vigilantly, roaring non-stop.

Although the intelligence is stronger than the original species, it is still very limited.

With a sigh in his heart, the red lotus lion was about to give up, but he couldn't help but recall what A Chou said back then.

"As long as you become a king, whether it is to let your fellow clan get rid of the bad habit of cannibalism or accept human culture, it will be a matter of your words."

The footsteps that were hesitant to leave suddenly stopped, and the red lotus lion turned around slowly, tentatively roaring at the golden lion in front of it:

【Surrender to me... I won't hit you anymore】

finished.The red lotus lion immediately released the bloody aura of its whole body, staring closely at the grinning golden lion in front of it.

After waiting for 10 minutes, perhaps realizing the absolute gap in force between the two, the golden lion finally lowered its head.

[That kind of guy who walks on two legs and doesn't grow hair is not your food, so don't actively hunt for it]

"Roar!"

【Very good, of course, if the other party attacks you, you can fight back... But it's not allowed to be used as food】

"Roar? Roar!"

【No reason, if you don't agree, I'll beat you up】

Seeing the golden lion in front of him let out a low growl like a sob, the red lotus lion put down his huge fist little by little, tilted his head and muttered:

[It really works? 】

……

Thousands of years later, in a huge stone cave.

The red lotus lion listened to the report of a certain golden lion who suddenly acquired almost lightning-like energy, and even leaped to the level of human or even higher wisdom with its overall wisdom, with a thoughtful look on its face.

Qilin's thunder and lightning... Can the Golden Lion Clan break through the limit and reach the natural disaster level?
Reaching the natural disaster level means that the level of wisdom will also increase... Then, it seems that the "family" that can understand each other and establish human social relations in my ideal is not far away?
The golden lion, who hadn't been so happy in hundreds of years, beat its chest excitedly, and then slapped hard on the fellow who broke through beside him.

【Good job】

[By the way... where did you meet Qilin? 】

【Oh, so where is their ancestral land... I see】

……

Two months later
Once again, the red lotus lion who took the lead in attacking a unicorn and broke the fragments of its horn, allowing the two golden lions to break through, couldn't help laughing heartily at the fellow clansmen who could communicate normally in a cave full of them.

【The ancestor, Pochi and Heidi were killed by the king of the Qilin tribe】

Suddenly, a golden lion who had just opened up its wisdom broke into the cave in a panic and roared loudly.

Ok?
The red lotus lion who was in the head of excitement was stunned for a while, and then he couldn't help but flew into a rage.

At that time, it didn't even realize that there was something wrong with continuously attacking the unicorns, even breaking their proud horns.

After all other than that, it doesn't hurt them does it?

But I didn't expect that Qilin would dare to take the initiative to kill his own people...

Some kind of long-lost anger rushed to my heart.

So, almost three nights later, the red lotus lion led a full two hundred golden lions and directly attacked the ancestral land of the Qilin clan that had been discovered for a long time.

【Even if it is an ancient dragon... there is nothing special about it】

Looking at the corpses of the killed unicorns everywhere, and the clansmen who were obviously in the upper hand, the red lotus lion, who had a huge hole in its abdomen and almost pierced its heart, laughed loudly, and then smashed the unicorn under it with a stick. The head of the primordial species.

Although the golden lions are not as strong as the unicorns, which are per capita natural disasters, their fur that is inexplicably resistant to thunder and their strong physical strength give them an absolute advantage in most cases when facing qilins.

And on my own side, I also killed the king of the Qilin clan as I wished, so it can be said that there is no obstacle.

【This time... the wisdom of the clansmen can be unlocked】

With so many unicorn corpses, the unicorns that can be provided are probably enough for nearly 300 years.

But in the future, we must pay attention to restraint. After all, if the Qilin family is extinct, it will not be a good thing for them.

When he was in a deep trance, a fierce roar suddenly broke into the ears of the red lotus lion.

As far as the eye could see, it was a bloody unicorn smashing away two ferocious golden lions.

The high swollen abdomen seemed to be pregnant with new life.

[Is it a pregnant female? 】

The red lotus lion grabbed the two golden lions and pushed back gently, signaling not to attack the unicorn in front of it.

Although there was some longing for the thunder horn that was so close in front of him that he could break through, the two golden lions finally restrained the impulse in their blood, turned their heads and left here.

[Hateful monsters, don't think you have won... The revenge of the Qilin clan will come soon]

Hearing the almost cursed scolding of the female unicorn in front of him, the red lotus lion didn't take it seriously.

He just tilted his head slightly, telling the other party to leave quickly.

[The blood of the red lotus lion is indeed this kind of monster that can only destroy everything]

【Sooner or later you will have the same ending】

Before leaving, the unicorn's words made the red lotus lion, who was proud of himself, froze in place.

what does it say
Are we the same as the red lotus lion?destroy everything?
What nonsense are you talking about...

The red lotus lion, who suddenly woke up from the frenzy, looked at the bloody battlefield and the golden lions chasing the unicorns everywhere. At some point, its majestic body began to tremble violently.

Some kind of illusory memory keeps emerging from the bottom of my heart.

What the hell am I doing?
Dimly, it seems to have returned to the first human village that was attacked by red lotus lions thousands of years ago.

The unicorns around them also turned into human figures fleeing in a hurry.

【Hey, you have finally become...the King of the Red Lotus Lion】

He lowered his head in astonishment, looking at the incomplete head that appeared suddenly in his empty palm, the red lotus lion's eyes suddenly tightened.

At the same time, there was an expression of disbelief on his face.

【However, nothing seems to have changed】

【Hey~ Just like you killed me, kill those unicorns...】

【Wang You of the Red Lotus and Lion】

Amidst the painful roar, the red lotus lion knelt down on the ground covering its head.

The golden lions who were excitedly fighting with the unicorn also turned their heads in unison to look at the king who suddenly went mad for some reason.

The Qilin family took advantage of the time when the golden lions were in a daze, and fled here in all directions.
