Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World-Chapter 104: The Taste Of Meat

In one of the caves at the foot of the mountain.

Vixy walked around, taking stock of all the carcasses that had been stored inside this cave.

Her three red and white fluffy tails swished around beautifully, adding to her foxy aura. Her yellow eyes darted around, counting the deer corpse, the hog corpse, the rabbit corpse, and so on.

With her were fourteen other foxes of different colors. Some were white as snow, some red just like her, and some were a mix of different colors.

All of them were counting the stocked-up meat and making sure that they were in order and not having any deficiencies.

In the last two weeks, Vixy had gotten used to her role as a fox merchant. Most of her trade was between the wolf warriors and other predators beyond the kingdom.

Usually, wolves didn’t have a habit of wasting food, but who knew even wolves had preferences?

With the help of the foxes, wolves were able to trade deer meat or moose meat for something else like bison-who usually lived at the edge of the forest- or fish.

Wolves were now able to have a more balanced diet with the foxes helping them exchange their hunt for something less available in their area.

In return, Vixy would keep a small portion. For example, she could keep an entire hind leg or two out of fifteen fishes.

With this type of profit, Vixy had no problem recruiting other foxes to join the caste system. To her, this was the best caste system among all the other caste systems.

Her hunting was minimal these days and her combat activities usually involved defending her stash of meat which was also minimal with the assistance of wolf bodyguards.

’Ivan would not have been able to adapt,’ She would tell herself once in a while, completely disregarding how much Ivan had loved her to the point he was willing to sacrifice himself to save her.

"Madam Vixy, would this stash be enough for the wolves?" One of the white foxes came up to Vixy and asked.

"For all the wolves, no. But many of them are bound to die today, so it should be enough, maybe." She replied with a thoughtful gaze.

"Madam, I still think we should have stashed up fish as well." The white fox complained. It seemed like the relationship between him and Vixy was quite good.

"Fish can get smelly fast, and besides, we’re doing this not for benefits," Vixy said then walked away, she didn’t want to talk about the details.

She had actually presented this idea to Kael who in all his planning had not thought of this. Even kings like Kael could overlook things like this easily.

So technically, storing meat for the wolf warriors for them to recover their strength after the battle was Vixy’s idea. It’s just that she was not willing to tell the foxes that it was her idea, at the same time, she didn’t want to give credit to Kael.

It was better if she let their imagination run wild.

The white fox sighed as he saw Vixy walk away. He has been trying to get close to her, seeing that she has no partner. In the eyes of a fox like him, Vixy would be considered very beautiful and captivating.

Not to mention having a relationship with the caste leader would instantly raise his status in the kingdom.

For some reason, Vixy had kept a distance from him, as she had subconsciously put a mental wall against anything concerning romance.

His two white tails flared up as he spat a beam of ice at the stacks of meat, freezing them.

After this, they were not required to join the battle unless absolutely necessary. They could provide combat support from the side but that was it, besides, the foxes had no intention of joining the battle anyway.

Just then, as the foxes were rounding up their operation, there was a soft booming sound, followed by a terrifying spatial wave that swept through the cave, passing their walls and nearly pushing the meat down.

The fur on the foxes were pushed to the side by the spatial wave. Vixy’s eyes dilated as she remembered the existence of a certain crazy lioness from the past.

"Nobody leaves this cave unless you want to die!" She hurriedly ordered.

The foxes were confused but they still obeyed the words of their caste leader.

"Quick seal the cave with your ice!" Vixy ordered in a panicked manner.

The three white foxes present were puzzled, what was making their caste leader so scared?

They released their aura and controlled their ice powers to freeze up the entrance of the cave.

Meanwhile at the top of the mountain.

This place now looked like it was about to receive a projection of the god of lightning.

The sky had turned dark and crimson red lightning continuously shot down from the dark clouds.

The cave protecting Darius had long been destroyed and even Darius’s body could no longer be seen amidst the rain of red lightning.

Because of what was happening at the top of the mountain, the whole sky above the mountain was dark, casting the mountain into a melancholic vibe.

The stony ground was scorched and filled with craters. Little pieces of hot rocks were constantly flying out of the area where the lightning bolts were raining.

Isaiah, who was in his humanoid form, stood some distance away from the lightning rain with a calm expression. He was here to guard his friend and congratulate him on his successful evolution.

None of the flying hot rocks could touch him as they all bounced off after hitting an invisible barrier.

As Isaiah stood there with his hands behind his back, taking a noble pose, he looked more human than most creatures in their humanoid forms.

Unlike the lions or wolves, who kept their tails and ears in their humanoid forms, Isaiah only had a head full of combed-back feathers instead of hair.

*WHOOM!*

Suddenly, a spatial wave spread from the bottom of the mountain in an omnidirectional manner. The wave reached almost every part of the mountain, including the peak.

There was a slight change in the lightning rain intensity before it became stable again.

"Hmm," Isaiah turned around, his sharp eyes digging through the atmosphere so that he could see the perpetrator.

"Darius, let me quickly take care of this disturbance before it’s too late," Isaiah said to which he received no response.

He took one step, then another, and another, then he leaped off the edge.

The air brushed against his body and scattered his feathered head. His eyes remained locked on the source of that spatial wave. That spatial wave was so strange, even he wouldn’t be able to do something like that of that scale, at least, he didn’t learn how to.

This didn’t mean he was scared though, just curious.

As he fell, his legs transformed into crane legs, and white and black feathers grew out of his skin. His arms elongated and morphed into large wings.

His nose and mouth fused together to form a long yellow beak as his head transformed into a crane’s head.

His diving speed increased exponentially as space began to twist around his body. Within a second, he reached the mountain foot.

*BOOM!*

His two feet landed on the ground with so much force that he sent rocks flying, breaking the hard stone ground.

Isaiah waved his large wings, clearing away the dust with one flap.

He looked around, his eyes scanning the vicinity. He saw nothing but an empty cave, although there were signs that this place had a lot of creatures present a few moments ago.

"You must be the lioness that killed the porcupine that day. You are very talented, I must say." Isaiah said, even though he could not see who he was talking to.

He didn’t receive a response.

"You just evolved right? I can feel it. We would be good friends in other circumstances…" Isaiah slashed his wing at the cave.

A transparent spatial blade shot out and divided the cave into two. The transparent blade did not stop until it was deep into the mountain.

Isaiah immediately froze up when he felt a strange aura appear behind him.

He turned around to see a large lioness, just shy of six feet, sitting down casually a few meters from him.

Isaiah realized that this lioness could have been there all this time and he had not noticed until she released her aura.

"You," Isaiah’s telepathic voice was subtle.

Katari tired her head to the side as she observed this large bed. ’I’ve never tasted bird meat before.’ was what went through her mind.

She didn’t see the need to respond to Isaiah, after all, who in their right mind would have a dialogue with what they considered food?

The two of them stared at each other, with different thoughts passing through their heads.

Then Katari stood up…
