Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World-Chapter 91: The Loneliness Of Intelligence
Deep underground, in a cave where the walls, ceiling, and floor were covered with multicolored web.
The multicolored webs were changing colors in a very orderly and controlled way, showing well-crafted images of different scenarios and scenes.
The webbed cave had sections of space that showed a different image than the other. Some showed a green forest, some showed a vast savannah, and some had images of animals who were oblivious to the fact that they were being looked at.
Standing in the center of tall this chaotic gathering of multiple images with her hands behind her back.
She stood there, naked, her eyes were trained on one particular image.
"...Since we have established a common ground, I shall get to work." The beautiful woman said with a seductive smile.
Then the web screen she was looking at went off and the image of two tall humanoids on it went dark.
As soon as the web screen went dark, the seductive smile on her face disappeared and was replaced with a foreign stoic expression.
Her eyes narrowed dangerously and the six dots on her cheeks shrunk significantly.
"I can’t understand…" She finally said after standing there for a long time. She shifted her gaze to the other images.
"He acted way too close to what I expected…" She talked to herself, her powerful telepathic voice bouncing off the webbed walls of the cave.
"N’bayé warned him, even pointed out past issues. Surely, he trusts N’bayé more than he could ever trust me, we just met.
Then why did he agree so easily? He did even put up much resistance, it was as if…he was anticipating it."
N’bayé’s eyes narrowed into fine slits, her mind churned as she tried to rationalize and analyze everything that had just happened during the conversation.
"...He assumed the position of authority immediately. I didn’t even notice it because I was busy trying to read into his words.
I even said the price first, I should have made him give his best price first. This will affect our next meeting,"
Natalia sighed. She had hoped to read into Kael and understand a bit about the type of person he was. However, she didn’t get anything other than that Kael was very ambitious, which everyone who knew him knew of.
Knowing that Kael was very ambitious was not enough, she wanted to know just what type of ambitious person he was. What were his goals? His plans? His weakness?
To find those things out, she would have to get closer to Kael, she knew it. But that was easier said than done.
She preferred to stay far away and pull the strings from the shadows.
"Currency? Is he trying to build a nation like the ancient Sage Elephants?" She wondered.
She shook her head, for now, she wanted to focus on the task first before thinking of any other thing.
Her spirit energy turned into invisible strings that attached themselves to the webbed walls. She sat cross-legged on the ground, allowing multiple web strings to rise and coil around her body.
Her mind connected to The Great Web and her subordinate spiders.
"Congratulations to us, we successfully made a deal with Kael of the lion race.
Gather all information on valuable or rare but naturally occurring materials. The type that has been used a lot in the past as a medium of exchange.
You all have five days to submit this assignment."
After giving that order, Natalia cut off her connection to the spider websites. She and Kael had agreed on seven days, so she expected the work to be done in five days by her spiders.
This was so that she could package the last information as a gift to Kael.
"Who knows, I may be able to rise to great heights with this new patron.
Most of the creatures in this forest are so short-sighted. They only see the things in front of them, they never bother to imagine what may be beyond.
One day, this forest will no longer restrain us. Our webs shall spread to every corner of the world…"
Although Natalia uncomfortably talked to herself, she seemed to find comfort in it.
As if a conversation with herself made her forget the loneliness that came with high intelligence.

"So their network spans across countless tunnel networks underground?" Kael asked as he and N’bayé arrived at the den.
"Yes, that’s why it’s so hard to control them or hurt them. They have a very tight control over information and beneath the ground lies many secrets.
Kael softly held N’bayé’s hand, rubbing his fingers on the center of her palm in a very sensual way.
N’bayé knew what Kael wanted and her steps became hurried. She wanted to enter the cave so that they could start as soon as possible.
The feeling of his lion rod inside her was a feeling she could never get used to.
Priya was still meditating by the side. Zabita, Diane, and Ruda were surrounding the still-unconscious Burdo and his five water lionesses.
Kael waved his hand, making vines shoot out of the earth and wrap around the ankles of the water lionesses and their leader.
’I haven’t surveyed any memories since that time,’ Kael suddenly thought.
The last time he went into the memory space, he came out more confused.
Derylia, the seventh Primordial lioness, had had a forbidden relationship with a dragon. This relationship eventually led to the birth of an abomination.
A creature born of a Primordial lioness and a dragon. One could only imagine the terror.
Kael didn’t know what happened to Derylia and her dragon lover, but he guessed that the consequences of their actions eventually arrived.
But it seemed those who faced this consequence were Noel and the Lion race.
Why didn’t the dragons face this? What caused the war with the lions and the dragons in the first place?
And what happened to Noel after he flew into that portal?
Kael suppressed the curiosity inside him by deciding to sink himself into the memories again.
For now, he and N’bayé had something to do.
Soon, after the duo entered the cave, there would be an occasional slight tremble that the lionesses would feel from the ground.
At this time, Olivia came into the premises from her ’stroll.’
From her mouth, the other lionesses could perceive the smell of fish, they instantly knew where she had been.
Olivia walked over innocently, eyeing Burdo and the water lionesses before slumping her chubby body beside the meditating Priya.
All through, Priya didn’t react to any sound or telepathic waves. It was unclear whether she was ignoring it or just couldn’t sense anything at this moment.
Either way, she was left alone, her success was the pride’s success too.
#######
Kael had just finished with N’bayé and lay his head on her bountiful chest while they rested on the ground.
One of his fingers found its way to N’bayé’s crotch area as he slowly played with her clit.
’Maybe I should get a makeshift bed, just for having sex…’ With that final dirty thought, Kael plunged his consciousness into the Primordial memory space.
He wanted to go for Noel, after all, Noel was the closest Primordial Lion to him. But another Primordial lion that he had never bothered to check caught his attention.
The sixth Primordial Lion, Jin.
This was a very massive lion. He was the biggest among the eight Primordial Lions. His muscles bulged and his body was full of scars.
The most peculiar thing about him was that his left paw was missing.
The aura that Jin was emitting was one of extreme violence. His face was calm but he looked like he would tear anyone to shreds at the slightest provocation.
Not having any information on Jin, Kael decided to take a look at his memories. But Kael took some imaginary steps back soon after.
Almost all of Jin’s memories were violent, making Kael wonder what kind of life Jin lived.

Kael decided to try something different, meditating on the violent aura and then quickly attaching himself to the least violent memory he could sense.
That is, the memory Kael was about to experience was the least violent he could find.
"DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!!!"
…was the first thing Kael heard as he found himself in a strange scene.
He was watching from a third-person perspective as usual, following the body of a humanoid that was rushing down, jumping from one wall to another in between two cliffs.
There was blood, a lot of it. Kael could smell it for the sake of experience, it got him strangely excited. The scent of this type of blood made his own blood boil.
Kael was very familiar with this scent of blood, he recognized it because his own blood also smells like that.
’Lion blood,’ Kael thought.
The humanoid he was following would only be described as an absolute monster. He stood at a height of nearly four meters, his muscles were bulging and his hair full of dirty golden hair stood on end.
He had two gold sideburns that complimented his handsome yet savage visage.
Where his left hand should be, a black metal arm with mechanical designs was attached.
And currently, this humanoid man was waving that metal arm frantically, brutally cutting through a swarm of lions like they were cabbages.
