Chapter 29: Ice Emperor Royal Flower (Please Follow and Read)

After advancing to mid-tier Transcendent, Chen Mo could share another Self-Discipline Challenge with Sister Lion.

After some thought, Chen Mo ultimately chose 【Roaring Lion】.

Currently, he could only share white-quality Self-Discipline Challenges, and among the white titles he had already obtained, 【Roaring Lion】's effect was the best.

Additionally, this advancement also gave Chen Mo a 【Self-Discipline Experience Card】.

The effect was—

He could choose an ongoing Self-Discipline Challenge and obtain the related title in advance, with a duration of 30 minutes.

"Roar~" (Sister, starting today, you also need to begin roar training! Just like I did before, practice at least 1000 roars every day, and give your all to every single roar. I'll supervise you.) After sharing the Self-Discipline Challenge, Chen Mo let out a low growl toward Aisha.

Roar, Sister Lion!

"Roar!"

Aisha nodded seriously.

She understood that her little brother was an extraordinary lion, one who bore secrets.

Whether it was speed beyond that of an ordinary lion, or the ability to rapidly digest and gain strength from flesh and blood, or that highly lethal roar—all those special abilities seemed to be ones he possessed after completing certain special training.

Now, her little brother had shared this ability with her!

Although Aisha could not understand the source of this ability, she did not dwell on it.

Her little brother definitely would not harm her, anyway!

With that in mind, Aisha carried the eight wolf corpses, including the Wolf King, one by one in front of Chen Mo, then let out a soft growl: "Roar~" (I'll eat first~)

Aisha then eagerly began to swallow the meat. The effect of 【Gluttonous Lion】 gave her a great appetite right now, and the feeling of growing stronger just by eating meat made her feel very satisfied.

Chen Mo took a bite of Wolf King meat, but soon discovered that the previous sensation of all the blood in his body cheering had disappeared.

【Gluttonous Lion】's enhancement of his physique seemed to have reached another limit. If he wanted to continue growing stronger, he would need to consume higher-quality Transcendent flesh and blood.

Thus, after finishing the Wolf King meat, Chen Mo did not go eat the other wolf meat.

These extraordinary little wolves could at most provide him with 2~3 points of ice-type Transcendent energy, so it was better to let Aisha enjoy them or bring them back to the pride.

There were still several lionesses and cubs in the pride that had not awakened. If they did not awaken soon, they would likely not survive the increasingly cold grasslands.

It was time to head back.

He still had not completed today's 【Couch Potato Happy Lion】 Self-Discipline Challenge! Chen Mo was just about to leave when the Ice Crystal Mouse squeaked twice, then ran to the spot where the Slush Fruit tree had withered and began frantically digging.

After Chen Mo ate all the fruit, this Slush Fruit tree had withered in an instant. The ice-crystal-like trunk and branches developed countless fine cracks, then, like shattered porcelain, broke into powder and dissipated into the air.

Soon, the Ice Crystal Mouse dug out from the soil a seed the size of a green jujube, crystal clear and translucent.

After Chen Mo observed it, corresponding information appeared beside the seed—

【Slush Fruit Seed】

【Slowly absorbing ice-type spiritual energy. It will bloom and bear fruit again in approximately 420 days.】

【If planted in a place abundant in ice-type spiritual energy, or irrigated with ice-type spiritual energy, the growth rate can be accelerated.】

"Roar!" (Little White, well done!)

This Slush Fruit seed did not emit the slightest trace of ice-type Transcendent energy. If not for the Ice Crystal Mouse, Chen Mo would most likely have missed it.

"Squeak!"

——————

After returning to the pride, Chen Mo found the pride in complete silence.

Xiongba and several lionesses had several blood gashes over ten centimeters long on their bodies. Sang Qi was using his ability to heal them.

In addition, one lioness was missing.

"Roar?" (What happened?) Chen Mo frowned and growled, asking Xiongba.

"Roar!" (My King, it was my incompetence.) Xiongba lowered his head and began to explain.

While Chen Mo had gone deep into the Great Snow Mountain to hunt, Xiongba had also led the pride to another area of the Great Snow Mountain to hunt. While searching for prey, the pride suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, seemingly the aroma emitted by some kind of fruit.

This strange fragrance was extremely tempting, so Xiongba led the pride toward the source of the scent.

They then saw a fruit tree with leaves as vivid as fire, from which hung red fruits resembling apples.

The scent given off by the red fruits and the rich ice-type spiritual energy they contained made the pride think they had encountered a "divine medicine."

Xiongba wanted to pluck them and bring them back to the Lion King, but to his surprise, just as they approached, this fruit tree suddenly changed form!

It transformed into a giant lion-eating flower.

Its stamens, like tentacles, directly wrapped around several nearby lionesses, attempting to drag them into the flower.

To rescue the lionesses, Xiongba led the remaining pride in a counterattack.

The scars on his body were left from battling the lion-eating flower's tentacles. These tentacles appeared soft, but were covered in sharp thorns.

In the end, one lioness was still dragged into the flower by the bizarre giant flower and completely devoured.

Because several lionesses were seriously injured, Xiongba did not dare to stay any longer, and led the pride back to their territory to await Chen Mo's return.

"Roar!"

Chen Mo nodded, indicating he understood.

This bizarre giant flower was clearly some kind of Transcendent plant.

After the revival of spiritual energy, it was not uncommon for plants to mutate into predators.

"Roar!"

After transplanting the Slush Fruit to the pride's territory, he let out a lion's roar, assembling the pride to prepare for "revenge"! Thus, apart from three lionesses staying in the territory to protect the cubs, the other lions followed their Lion King and set out in grand procession.

The place where the lion-eating flower Xiongba described grew was not far from the pride's territory—less than 50 kilometers away.

When they were still 15km away, Chen Mo smelled a pleasant floral fragrance.

At 10km, Chen Mo saw the lion-eating flower Xiongba had described.

It was almost exactly as Xiongba had described.

Its leaves are like maple leaves, and its red fruit gives off an alluring fragrance.

It seems like a stalk of divine elixir.

But Chen Mo already knew this was merely the disguise of the maneater flower.

He began observing the red fruit tree.

Soon, the red fruit tree revealed its true form.

It is a vivid red giant flower over five meters tall!

Crimson, blood-like spiky bracts guard a floral ball composed of countless stamens, resembling a man-eating maw, looking extremely sinister.

Beside the maneater flower lie hundreds of animal carcasses, large and small, almost piled into a small mound of corpses! Evidently, like a lioness, countless animals were drawn by the strange fragrance and then devoured upon approaching.

At the same time, all the information about the maneater flower appeared before Chen Mo's eyes.
