Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World-Chapter 95: Aquatic Meat

The group walked into the part of the forest where N’bayé had her observation runes spread out.

N’bayé had stayed back as Kael felt it was careless for the two tier 3 lions to leave the cave at the same time. At least, one of them had to be close by to watch over the three vulnerable lionesses during their evolution.

After they entered their controlled area close to the mountain, the wolves dispersed under the direction of Commander Bibi, off to patrol the tiny kingdom.

As Kael walked back to the cave accompanied by Ruda and Zabita who walked beside him, he sank into thought once again.

It was as if the transaction he just had with Natalia was of no importance compared to what he was thinking of at the moment.

And indeed, since Kael had not clearly checked the contents of the web ball, the thing on his mind was considered more important.

What Kael was of course thinking of was the story Burdo had given him after he had woken up from his unconscious state one week ago.

According to Burdo, after he was banished from the Hot Lion pride, he wandered for months in an unknown direction until he found the edge of the savage lands, the sea, and he didn’t make this journey alone.

His journey was mostly accompanied by hunger and loneliness. This gave time for the resentment he felt towards his father to fester and grow.

He was chased by multiple lion prides and had encounters with very dangerous creatures. However, Burdo’s desire to live surmounted his ego and greed. He was able to escape every time and keep his life to himself, pledging to take his revenge every time something forced him to run away.

But Burdo realized that things couldn’t continue like this, he was always starving and most adult prey could see him coming from afar. His success in the art of hunting was roughly three out of ten attempts.

Because of this, Burdo attached himself to the next pride that he found. A small pride with one male pride leader and seven females.

He actively showed submission to this pride leader even though he was not weaker. He could challenge the pride leader but that wouldn’t matter because the lionesses would instinctively protect their leader if they could, irrespective of who was stronger.

They would rather be with their pride leader rather than some stranger.

After actively showing his willingness to surrender, the pride leader let him stay around.

Unfortunately, this pride had not found a suitable place to settle down and we’re still wondering. All the territories with an abundance of prey were taken by more powerful.

Burdo had to follow them around, walking through the night and resting all through the day. This new lifestyle was bearable because Burdo then had access to more food.

With the help of the lionesses hunting, he was able to enjoy the privilege of living with a pride.

This appreciation didn’t last though as Burdo’s greed soon took over. He envied the pride leader for the loyalty the lionesses showed to him.

He wanted that loyalty, he also wanted to be able to eat first after every hunt and be able to mate with the lionesses whenever he was in the mood.

So, Burdo conspired to take that which he didn’t have from the one who had.

He began to make secret advances on six of the lionesses, a very bold move. His actions were, however daring, not reported.

Burdo had some element of luck that aided him in avoiding multiple dangers that would have guaranteed his death.

His secret advances were met with resistance but he didn’t give up. The fact that they didn’t report this to their pride leader made him feel that he had a chance.

He was basically copying Kael.

He purposely avoided one particular lioness as she was the most loyal to the pride leader. She was like Big Aunt, any attempt on her would immediately backfire.

At some time, Burdo and the pride arrived at the seaside. The sight of so much water was stunning and very memorable.

The pride decided to continue their walk on the seemingly infinite beach. They walked an unknown amount of distance before Burdo and the pride encountered the thing which propelled them to tier 2.

One fine morning, after a long night of walking by the beachside, the pride leader was the first to pick up a strange smell.

The others soon picked up that scent but couldn’t quite tell what it was, the scent was quite appealing, however.

As soon as the morning breeze picked up, the strange fishy smell hit them like a truck running down a mountain. Its appealing factor made their mouths drool, never had they felt so much appetite for something they had never seen before.

They rushed forth with all their might, forgetting that they were supposed to rest. Their reason is that if they could perceive it, other predators could also perceive it.

And they were right for that.

They didn’t run for long before they found a gigantic figure in the distance resting motionlessly near the shore.

As they got closer, they became cautious, slowing down to better observe this beast.

This thing was simply huge, Burdo had not been able to describe how big it was exactly, but according to him, it was like a small mountain.

The body of the washed-up beast cast a large shadow over the beach simply laying on its side.

It looked like a fish, except that it didn’t have any visible fish scales. Its black and white body was shaped like a certain stretched-oval fruit.

Its tail ended in a vertical fin and its head was triangle in shape with a slightly pointy snout.

The mouth of the beast was open for all to see the rows of razor-sharp teeth lining its gum. The inky black eyes were wide open, staring unblinkingly at the sunny sky.

The underbelly of this supposed aquatic beast was a faded white color while the top and fins were black. Across its colossal body were terrifyingly large scars.

The scars were either round or gashes. The round scars followed a pattern all over the body, as if what had made these scars had been wrapping itself around the washed-up beast.

And the scars were still fresh…

Obviously, only an equally large or larger beast could make such scars. The washed-up fish-looking creature had clearly fought a battle before it lost its life.

The sea had been generous to allow the body of this fish-looking creature to get washed up to the beach.

This was the beast that was letting off that strange smell. And just as they had thought, they weren’t the only ones who had perceived the scent.

By the time they arrived at the bottom of the carcass, multiple predatory birds, reptiles, felines, and canines had already begun to eat into the carcass.

The beast was big enough for all the animals present to eat without necessarily getting in each other’s way so the lions immediately went to work in filling up their bellies.

This was the first time that Burdo had tasted the flesh of an animal that had awakened its heart and a really powerful one at that. The sensation of raw energy flowing from his stomach to every part of his body was truly addicting.

And so they ate and ate until they couldn’t eat anymore. Still, they didn’t leave, none of the animals left after filling up their bellies.

No one would leave such a large amount of food in the wild. And so, they stayed for days.

When they felt the slightest bit of hunger, they would take a bite out of the magnificent carcass.

This was also the time that Burdo used to his advantage to dive into the lives of those six lionesses.

The pride leader was so busy defending their own pound of flesh that he had not yet noticed how six of the seven lionesses in his pride were distancing themselves from him.

Unfortunately, most good things never last. The meat on the body gigantic fish-like creature was running out.

Soon, the lions would cross paths with the other animals over space to eat. And when that happens, it would be the end of the happy times.

That would have been the case, it SHOULD have been the case. This was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

But the sea, like it had a collective mind of its own, had other plans.

Burdo and the pride were just about to confront three cheetah brothers when the sea spat out another humongous corpse.

This new creature looked very much like a fish, with transparent fins and a silver body. This fish also had tentacle-like scars on its body.

It wasn’t as large as the first aquatic beast but it brought a sense of relief to the animals on the beach. At least, this new addition would give them more time.

Their joy soon turned to confusion as another corpse surfaced on the beach again. This one smaller, having four legs like a mammal but with scales and hooves, looking very similar to a zebra or a horse.

Their confusion increased as the sea kept on washing up more aquatic animals on the beaches around them.

Each aquatic animal had one thing in common, they all had fresh tentacle scars on their bodies.
