Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 97 Look Behind You
A huge lion, a huge elephant, a huge eagle.

Watching the roc in the distance eating meat while shedding tears, Du Yi's mouth also began to water uncontrollably.

"I didn't expect such an unexpected bonus..."

At this moment, Du Yi only wants to thank nature for its blessings.

He originally came to the snowy mountain with the intention of capturing some mammoths, since there were no more animals left to eat on the mountain where he originally lived. But who would have thought that before he had even hunted a few mammoths, he would see an even larger target.

So he naturally chose to run away, leaving behind two elephant legs in the process.

As for why he ran away, it's because the logic of hunting is completely different from that of fighting—if it were fighting, there would be no need to run away; he could simply rush in and fight, since the other party would definitely fight him anyway.

But if we change it to hunting...

Prey can run away.

Looking at the three giant beasts in front of him—a giant lion, a giant elephant, and a huge roc—not to mention that all three beasts were on the slope while he was on the bottom, making it even more difficult for him to catch up, just considering the speed itself… two of them had four legs, and one had wings; if they really ran, any of them would be faster than him.

Normally, when encountering a giant beast that runs faster than himself, Du Yi would usually choose to throw stones directly. However, with snow covering the ground all around, there were clearly no suitable stones for him to throw—unless he wanted to make two snowballs for a snowball fight, but those things wouldn't be very lethal.

So, after a moment's thought, Du Yi simply changed his approach.

In other words, throwing in bait.

When he threw down the two elephant legs, Du Yi was still a little worried. After all, he couldn't be sure whether these beasts, which were obviously raw meat and bloodthirsty, would be tempted by cooked meat.

But as it turned out, he was overthinking it.

"The culinary skills accumulated over hundreds of years are still quite impressive."

Seeing that the three giant beasts were already engrossed in the temptation of the food, Du Yi quietly took a detour and went around them.

This is one of the advantages of being a snake. Although it can't run as fast as a four-legged creature because it has no legs, it also moves very quietly by crawling close to the ground.

If it weren't for his enormous size, the most suitable fighting style for him would actually be a silent ambush.

However, it's not too late to use it now.

In just a moment, he had circled around to the back of the three giant beasts.

However, at that moment, the blue-faced lion suddenly turned around.

……

The blue-faced giant lion was still immersed in the satisfaction brought by the delicious food.

As it turned out, his craving for meat was absolutely justified. Although he was quite old, he was certain that this was the most delicious meat he had ever eaten in his life—even though he had always been a raw meat eater. After tasting the two pieces of elephant leg meat, he suddenly felt that cooked meat tasted surprisingly good.

And most importantly, the meat itself is not poisonous.

The meat was not poisonous, which meant he could fully enjoy the taste of the two pieces of elephant leg meat. The lingering fragrance on his lips and teeth was an experience he had never had before in his life.

He was completely absorbed in the aftertaste, and even wanted to snatch the elephant leg meat that the Golden-Winged Roc hadn't finished eating.

However, the Golden-Winged Roc showed no intention of giving up the position, so he could only stand there, watching his shadow reflected in the snow.

"I probably never imagined that I would be able to eat such delicacies in my life." The blue-faced giant lion couldn't help but sigh, and he even seemed a little sad at this moment.

What will we do if we can't eat such delicious food anymore?
At this moment, his life even gained a purpose and a direction—if his original purpose in living was simply to live, simply to eat more and grow bigger.

Now he realizes that he needs to eat better.

Upon realizing this, the blue-faced giant lion even felt that his life had been elevated, and his life suddenly became more meaningful, and even life itself had more purpose.

"I am not the same person I used to be!"

Feeling the surging passion in his heart, the blue-faced lion even vaguely felt that he had become several sizes larger.

Even his shadow on the ground proved this; it seemed to have grown several times larger, just look at its imposing appearance and the forked tongue of that enormous snake head...

"Wait, a snakehead?"

The blue-faced lion suddenly turned around, only to find a pair of huge snake eyes staring intently at him.

The blue-faced lion was immediately startled, its entire body almost flying off its feet. The giant snake in front of it was also clearly startled, judging from its dazed eyes, its reaction was obviously a beat slow.

However, it was the blue-faced lion who came to his senses first.

In terms of strength, he may not be as good as the six-tusked white elephant; in terms of wisdom and agility, he may not be as good as the golden-winged roc. But in terms of speed and reaction, he is the fastest.

Almost immediately, he swung his giant claw at the enormous snake head.

But the serpent's tail, sweeping across the room, was even faster than him.

"Boom-"

With a single slash, the blue-faced lion was slammed into the snow. In that split second, the six-tusked white elephant and the golden-winged roc barely managed to react. But just as the six-tusked white elephant and the golden-winged roc were preparing to counterattack, the blue-faced lion's body was completely coiled up by the snake's tail.

"I……"

Just as the six-tusked white elephant raised its trunk, it was met head-on by the enormous head of the blue-faced lion. The two heads collided, and the six-tusked white elephant was immediately stunned and disoriented.

As for the most alert Golden-Winged Roc, it had already spread its wings and soared into the sky. It made a judgment almost immediately that this was definitely not a situation they could win.

But just as the Golden-Winged Roc was preparing to ascend and fly into the distance...

But another huge black shadow flew toward him.

That was a six-tusked white elephant thrown into mid-air. It was the first time this massive elephant had ever experienced what it felt like to fly.

But soon, the six-tusked white elephant's brief flight came to an end.

"Bam—"

With a muffled thud, the giant elephant and the roc fell from the sky at the same time.

Their enormous bodies crashed into the snowdrift, and the giant elephant and the roc instantly lost consciousness, just like the blue-faced giant lion.
