After I said that, they looked at me with gratitude, especially the flower snake, and said: "Big brother, you are really good to us, from now on I will follow you wholeheartedly!"
Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang also said the same thing. The leopard said at this time: "This is our elder brother being good to us, since that's the case, let's split up and improve our own strength, so we can help our elder brother more in the future."
The lion's words made sense, so the three of them didn't say anything else. We went to divide up the twelve dead ferocious beasts and each sucked out their essence blood. This time was very satisfying, as we each absorbed the essence blood of three ferocious beasts at once. After that, we all lay down to rest, except for the lion, who had its own way of absorbing the essence blood.
It seems that it was also a master of sucking the essence and blood before, following those two ferocious beasts, it is more knowledgeable than these three snakes, and its thoughts are also more humanized.
After this rest, we returned to that cave again. But this time, the feeling was clearly gone, it seemed that this place could no longer improve our strength, it seems that our growth over this period of time has been too fast.
At this time, the three snakes looked at the lion with some curiosity, as if studying why he could speak snake language. At this time, the lion explained to them: "I have been with your snake family for a long time, so I also learned it. As for why I can learn it, I don't understand either. Other animals seem to be unable to learn your snake language!"
Three guys seemed to be at a loss, all tilting their heads to look at the lion. Unable to understand, they no longer entangled themselves, and the boa constrictor said: "Great Lion, let's give you a name! We all have our own names!"
The lion shook its big head and said: "I don't understand what you're saying. What's the use of a name? Can it be eaten?"
The boa constrictor remained silent for half a day before saying, "A name is just a code name, just like your species. You're a lion, but the term 'lion' is too broad, so we need to come up with a code name for you, and it'll be easier for everyone to address you later on!"
At this point, the lion seemed to understand. It said: "Sounds good, then help me come up with one!"
The flower snake thought for a moment, but still couldn't think of one, because it had never been in contact with names before. In the end, it got anxious and came over to ask me to help name the lion.
I took a look at this lion. Its head is as big as that of a domesticated fat pig, and it looks very majestic, so I decided to give it a more domineering name.
After a while, I said: "Let's call him Ao Lei, what do you think?"
" Ao Lei?" The lion tilted its big head, as if thinking whether this name was suitable for it, because it had never been called by a name before and didn't know what "overbearing" meant.
But in the end I agreed, and at this time everyone introduced their names to each other, and Shizi Ao Lei also officially became one of us. Now I don't plan on being polite with it either.
"Did you know what's different inside when you were at the center of the island?"
"What's the difference?" After hearing my words, Jiao Lei tilted his head and thought for a moment, saying: "Hearing you say that, I feel like there really is a difference. I was one of the first to follow those two fierce beasts, and I was able to rise to my current strength because of the reasons within!"
As soon as I heard it, I came with energy and asked excitedly: "What's different in there, tell me quickly!"
"Over there, I think we can improve our strength, just by staying inside, but now it's not possible here, I feel like it's over and can't improve our strength!"
It's really like that, just as I thought before. The central location of the island is indeed unusual. The principle is similar to here, but what exactly is the reason, I really don't know yet. Soil and agricultural technology.
I've just absorbed the essence of three ferocious beasts, and my strength has increased significantly. I'm not sure if we can defeat those two ferocious beasts now. If I go in and use illusions directly, will they be able to withstand it?
Now that I've heard what Ao Lei has to say, I really can't hold back anymore, but I actually don't dare to take this risk. They're staying inside and can increase their strength at any time, so now they must be incredibly powerful. What if they exceed my estimated range? That would be a loss I couldn't afford.
I asked Ao Lei: "Do you know what kind of strength those two ferocious beasts have now?"
Ao Lei said: "I really don't know about this, because two years ago, it killed my wife. At that time, we were all unable to react, and now it's been two years, they have been growing in strength every moment, and after that, they never made a move again. So what kind of strength is it, I really don't know."
Hearing this, I trembled all over, this damn thing seemed too powerful, two years ago even Ao Lei and his wife had no power to fight back, and now it's been two more years, they've been increasing their strength every day, how strong would that be?
I was just going to try it out, but now that I think about it, forget it. I reckon they'd just lie down in front of me and let me cast my spells on them, probably wouldn't even be able to mesmerize them.
Still want to occupy the entire island? Now that I've heard what Turtle Thunder said, I suddenly felt a bit discouraged. However, I didn't give up. Since I made such a bold statement, I will definitely make it happen.
After some thought, now that we can't go find those two fierce beasts, I reckon it's still going to be bad because we just killed so many of their underlings. It won't come looking for us, will it?
I told this concern to the four of them, and at this time, Ao Lei said: "Big brother, it's strange to say that those two guys seem to have disappeared recently. We haven't seen them for a long time, even when those people came to make trouble, the two guys didn't come out!"
"Huh?" Gone? I said this time those people came to their territory, why didn't those two fierce beasts appear? It turned out they were gone. Was it that they were killed by an even more ferocious beast or had become spirits and gone somewhere else? I asked: "Are you sure they're gone?"
"Aro said with certainty: 'I can be certain of this because we've been together for so long, so as long as it's nearby, I can sense the aura on its body.'"
"What the heck, this up and down is like a roller coaster ride! This damn turtle, why can't it just say everything at once?! But I wasn't really angry, so I continued: 'Since that's the case, should we just go straight to its lair and find out what treasure it has that can increase your strength?'"
Ao Lei thought for a moment and said: "I think this is also feasible, because all of his subordinates were killed by us just now, it should be fine in the past."
It seems that it also thinks so, I feel much more at ease. Let's go, and call out to Ao Lei to lead the way in front, then we four snakes will follow behind it towards the central position.
I will keep my senses fully open all the way, because on the one hand, I'm afraid that this lion might cheat us. After all, it's always good to be cautious when dealing with others, which is a mindset I've maintained in my interactions with people. On the other hand, I'm also worried that those two fierce beasts might come back suddenly, so I have to be extra careful.
We didn't travel very fast on this road, so it wasn't until almost dusk that we reached the central location. Ao Lei said: "Big brother, we've already entered the territory of those two ferocious beasts, do you want to go in directly now?"
"I thought for a moment and said, 'Then let's just go in directly, hurry up and finish searching before leaving!' Anyway, we animals can still see clearly at night, and we are all fierce beasts with better eyesight than ordinary wild animals, so the darkness doesn't affect us."
Ao Lei directly took us to the old nest of those two ferocious beasts, half an hour later, we finally arrived at their lair. I felt it for a moment, and indeed this place was different. Just taking a casual breath made our spirits shake with fear.
"This is indeed a great place, if we can occupy this place, then we will be rich, but now in order to prevent those two guys from coming back, let's think of a way to find out if there are any treasures!" I said while enjoying the air here.
They naturally thought of this problem, so as soon as I finished speaking, they directly drilled into the cave of those two fierce beasts. Upon entering, it was very spacious with a space of about 50 square meters, and it was extremely dry inside. The aura here was also much thicker.
I think if we stay here for two or three days, our strength will increase and we can absorb the essence of a fierce beast. I don't know how those two guys found such a good place. At this time, we didn't think much and directly started searching everywhere like bandits.
