Chapter 40: Lion Sister

Three hours later.

Ai Sha let out a painful roar, and the spiritual energy inside the ice pill began to strengthen her entire body.

After devouring the ice pill and flesh of the Ice-Armored White Rhino, she successfully advanced to High-level Transcendent.

Upon reaching High-level Transcendent, Ai Sha awakened the ability called Soul Snow.

Perhaps because Shi Jie's spiritual attribute is relatively high, the awakening was an ice ability leaning toward the mental type.

It condenses mental power and ice spiritual energy into snow that drifts over a certain area.

Creatures hit by Soul Snow fall into a drowsy state; those with slightly weaker strength will immediately collapse into sleep.

However, releasing Soul Snow consumes a certain amount of mental power, and after use one feels drained and extremely fatigued.

With Ai Sha's current strength, it can only last three minutes, covering roughly 100 square meters.

After the promotion, Ai Sha, whose body‑strengthening consumes massive energy, began ravenously devouring the flesh of the Ice-Armored Black Rhino.

Watching Ai Sha wolf‑down her meal, Xiong Ba felt a mix of envy and puzzlement.

He envied that Ai Sha had advanced again.

What puzzled him was how this little lioness Ruan Fan Nan could be so formidable! He had already received a portion of the Ice-Armored White Rhino's flesh before, about the same size as Ai Sha's; after eating half he was already stuffed, yet this little lioness ate all the white rhino meat and is still gorging! Shuang Shi could not comprehend, so he simply stopped thinking.

Anyway, as long as I work hard enough.

The next one to get stronger will definitely be me! During the feast, transcendent ice lions in the herd kept letting out excited roars; after consuming those transcendent flesh and demon pills, some ice lions with good talent broke through to Mid-level Transcendent.

Among them was Shi Ma.

Shi Ma's talent isn't actually that great, but since she is the Lion King's mother, she always gets more whenever the transcendent flesh is divided.

At the same time, the leopard squad and the army were searching for survivors in Sunset Town.

They told the survivors that it was now safe.

Consequently, more and more survivors emerged from shelters or basements, and they realized the lion herd had no intention of hunting them; they were quietly gnawing on the transcendent flesh of the ice rhinoceros.

The survivors dared not glance at the transcendent ice lions, but found it all very strange.

These ice lions weren't killing at all, and the military seemed to have known about this all along.

It seemed the purpose of these giant ice lions arriving at the town was merely to hunt the massive rhinoceros! At that moment, the town's soon‑to‑be‑scrapped broadcast suddenly emitted intermittent sounds—

"Everyone, do not be afraid. The Transcendent Ice Lion Clan is a kind, law‑abiding transcendent species and will not harm anyone. The Lion King has dealt with the demon beast, and Sunset Town is now safe. You may come out to rebuild your homes or follow the army to relocate to other towns..."

It wasn't until dusk that the lion herd roughly finished eating.

Even so, they didn't finish everything; they could only pack part of it or load it onto off‑road vehicles.

The transcendent ice rhinoceros was too massive.

This battle produced five Mid‑level Transcendent ice lions in the herd.

The little black leopard Lu Na and another Snowflake Leopard also successfully advanced to Mid‑level Transcendent.

The entire ice lion clan's strength surged dramatically—a huge gain indeed.

Watching the lion herd that had finished eating.

Chen Mo let out a low growl, preparing to lead the lion herd away.

The human town's ambient Qi was relatively thin, and transcendent beings were rare, so he naturally had no interest in occupying it.

Thus, under the setting sun, a lone ice lion dragging its unfinished prey slowly vanished at the far end of the horizon.

——————————————

Shortly after Chen Mo led the lion herd away from Sunset Town, the general impatiently dialed Chen Mo's phone.

On the phone screen, the elderly man beamed, cheerfully saying to Chen Mo:

"On behalf of all the survivors of Sunset Town, I thank the Lion King's assistance."

"Additionally, we wish to establish an allied relationship with the ice lion clan to jointly combat other transcendent beings. If we obtain any intelligence on other powerful transcendent creatures, we will inform you immediately. What does the Lion King think?" The ice lion territory now constitutes a force not to be underestimated, and the Lion King's display of power in this battle was truly crushing.

To be honest, they now have nothing they can do to it.

Winning it over is the best option.

Chen Mo nodded.

He agreed.

Getting a free wave of information isn't bad.

He naturally wouldn't take the so‑called alliance seriously.

In his previous life he was human, so he understands human nature.

Those not of my kind must have different hearts.

What's being said now sounds good—willing to help each other with the ice lion clan and become allies.

But fundamentally, he will never trust them.

Once the most troublesome crisis is dealt with, or an opportunity arises, he will definitely aim to fully control them.

But Chen Mo doesn't care.

What he needs now is time to develop.

As long as he maintains a temporary "non‑interference" or even "mutual assistance" relationship with human forces, relying on self‑discipline and silent development, he can quickly grow to a level where he disregards everything.

When humans think they have enough strength, they won't know that he has already taken off!

In the face of absolute power, all conspiracies are trivial! ——————————————

【Fat House Happy Lion】 Day 25 challenge.

Having reached the limits of both transcendent rank and physical condition, Chen Mo has become somewhat bored.

Aside from his daily habit of drinking cola, there seems to be no other way for him to keep getting stronger.

Thus he devoted his main effort to cultivating the lion herd.

Specifically, on the four beasts: Ai Sha, Xiong Ba, Xiao Bai, and Lu Na.

As the Ice Lion Clan's territory grew ever larger, Chen Mo needed to cultivate a few Transcendent Ice Lions capable of acting independently to help him manage the territory and the lion pride.

Because the flesh of High Transcendent and lower beings gave Chen Mo no growth, the Transcendent creatures hunted during this period were basically fed to them.

The same goes for Monster Cores.

Aisha's spiritual power has now reached over 720 strands, Xiao Bai has successfully advanced to Transcendent Late Stage, and Lu Na and Xiong Ba, lacking a Gluttonous Lion, remain at Transcendent Mid Stage.

"Roar!"

At noon, Chen Mo gathered Aisha, Xiao Bai, and Sang Qi.

He opened an extra-large tablet computer, which he had previously had the Tanzanian military send over.

On the tablet was clearly a map of Africa.

The area of the Great Snow Mountain Secret Realm was marked with a shadow.

Besides that, three areas were encircled in red circles.

"Roar!" (Each of these three places currently has one A-rank Transcendent creature. Aisha, you can pick one of these Transcendent creatures to try to kill. Consider it a trial.) Chen Mo said to Aisha.

A-rank, which is the High Transcendent tier of Monster Beasts, is currently the strongest existence.

Aisha's Transcendent level has reached High Transcendent, and ordinary Transcendent flesh can no longer grant it any increase.

While the Ice Lion Territory spans several hundred kilometers, any somewhat stronger Transcendent creature has either submitted or been slain.

So Aisha, if she wants to keep growing stronger, must go to the Deep Great Snow Mountain to hunt High Transcendent Monster Beasts! (End of chapter)
