10: Stinky Lion (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

Chen Mo felt a strange sense of amusement seeing the Lionesses 'partying' with him.

Unfortunately, they didn't have the Golden Finger for self-discipline challenges, so these movements weren't of much help to them.

However, Chen Mo couldn't communicate such complex ideas with the Lionesses, so he simply let them follow him in his self-discipline.

"If only I could lead other lions in self-discipline, then they might be able to help me a lot."

Chen Mo couldn't help but think to himself.

————————————

After completing the self-discipline challenge, Chen Mo began to patrol the borders of his territory.

Currently, his territory borders were about 20 kilometers, and he needed to leave his scent along the borders by digging and other special methods.

These scents would deter other Male Lions and predators from easily trespassing, and also protect the safety of the Lionesses and Lion Cubs within the territory.

This was not an easy task.

Fortunately, because he ate a lot and had a large quantity, he could barely mark it all.

With Chen Mo's current strength, he could actually choose to expand his territory, but Chen Mo only maintained the Lion Pride's original territory.

He couldn't manage too large a territory, and for him, as long as his food needs were met and he wasn't harassed by other predators, that was enough.

Becoming stronger through self-discipline was the fundamental goal!

——————————

Another week passed in a flash.

After becoming the new Lion King of the Lion Pride, Chen Mo continued his daily self-discipline and maintained his hunting habits.

He simply couldn't get enough to eat from the food caught by the Lionesses!

With an ample supply of food, although Chen Mo's Physique didn't continue to grow, his strength increased by 1 point, and two strands of the previously consumed mysterious energy were replenished.

Before dawn, Chen Mo had already begun his self-discipline for the day.

Today was the last day of the Jumping Lion self-discipline challenge, and he was already a bit impatient.

1 hour later.

The progress bar for Jumping Lion on the panel finally reached 100%.

Today's 'partying,' no, today's jumping self-discipline was complete!

After Chen Mo chose to equip the title of Jumping Lion, the familiar electric shock sensation spread from his limbs to his entire body.

Immediately, he began to observe himself.

African Lion (Male)

Rank: Low-Level Transcendent

Physique: 10→12

Agility: 14→16

Strength: 11

Divine Soul: 8

Overall Combat Power: 50~92

The Jumping Lion title added a total of 2 points to his agility and 2 points to his Physique, which was not bad.

In fact, just looking at his attributes and overall combat power, Chen Mo could already roam this grassland freely.

But it wasn't enough.

If there were humans, his current strength wouldn't be worth mentioning at all.

Chen Mo glanced at the newly refreshed self-discipline challenge.

Then he instantly froze.

Stinky Fart Lion (White)

Fart 30 stinky farts every day for one week.

"Holy crap!"

Chen Mo couldn't hold back.

Farting also counts as self-discipline!?

Maintaining a bad habit also counts as self-discipline!?

Before, Otaku Happy Lion making him drink cola every day was already absurd enough; now this daily farting is like absurdity's mother opening the door for absurdity!

"Unless I use some food that promotes farting, this self-discipline challenge will be impossible to complete."

Chen Mo, helpless, chose the initial refreshed self-discipline challenge—Clean Lion.

Bathe 3 times a day for 1 week.

————————————

Clean Lion self-discipline challenge, day two.

In the evening.

Three Lionesses returned to the Lion Pride's territory, facing the setting sun.

Their eyes were somewhat downcast.

This was their second consecutive day of coming back empty-handed.

Prey in the territory was becoming scarcer; they had finally encountered a few Impalas, but before they could get close, they were detected.

Then these Impalas burst out with astonishing speed and quickly disappeared from their sight.

For some reason, the Impalas in this territory had become extremely alert.

They would run for their lives as soon as they saw them.

"Roar~"

At this moment, Aisha let out an excited growl.

Following Aisha's gaze, the Lionesses saw a strong figure appear on the distant horizon.

Joy then filled their eyes.

Their Lion King had returned!

Immediately, they saw the Lion King dragging half of a huge Wildebeest, shining brightly under the sunset!

"Roar~"

Chen Mo put down the Wildebeest and ran to the shade of a tree to doze off,Squinting and dozing off.

He had hunted two Wildebeest and a wild rabbit today.

He ate one Wildebeest and the wild rabbit, bringing back the other half.

With Chen Mo's current strength, he could completely live alone, separate from the Lion Pride.

It was the Lion Pride that depended on him, not he on the Lion Pride.

But Chen Mo had no intention of abandoning his current Lion Pride.

Besides the help he received from Lion Mom and Lion Sister when he first underwent Rebirth, more importantly, as a former human, he disliked loneliness.

It was good to pet lions now and then, like this; he never had such an opportunity in his previous life.

Enjoying the fresh blood meal, joy and excitement filled the Lionesses' eyes.

Chen Mo, meanwhile, was contemplating whether to migrate with the Lion Pride.

Prey within the Lion Pride's territory was becoming scarcer; these two Wildebeest were even hunted by him from other lions' territories.

It hadn't rained for a week straight.

The rainy season with abundant food had passed, and now the toughest dry season had arrived.

The Africa savanna only had two seasons.

The dry season and the rainy season.

The scarcity of water resources in the dry season caused many plants to wither, forcing herbivores to undertake a great migration across the grassland.

And for survival, carnivores also had to follow suit.

"It's time to find a new territory."

Chen Mo thought silently as he watched the Lionesses feast.

"Roar~"

After the Lionesses had eaten their fill, Chen Mo let out a low growl, informing them of the decision to migrate.

The Lion Pride, understanding Chen Mo's meaning, naturally did not object.

—

Clean Lion self-discipline challenge, day three.

Chen Mo woke up very early.

He wondered if it was his imagination, but he felt the temperature of the grassland seemed to have dropped several degrees all at once.

Chen Mo wasn't sure of the herbivores' migration direction, and only after some communication did he make the Lion Pride understand his intention.

So Lion Mom voluntarily went ahead to lead the way.

After confirming the direction, the Lion Pride began their migration journey.

After walking for most of the day, seeing that the Lionesses were already too tired to walk, Chen Mo found a thick tree and had them rest in its shade.

He, meanwhile, went to search for prey nearby.

10 minutes later, Chen Mo stopped.

Observation Lion endowed him with extraordinary vision, allowing him to see creatures from far away.

At this moment, he spotted a pair of Leopard mother and cub on the grassland 5 kilometers away.

The Leopard mother's body was covered with black plum-blossom shaped spots, looking very magnificent. The Little Black Panther beside her, however, had completely black fur.

This was a Little Black Panther.

Black Panthers are not an independent species but a variant resulting from a genetic mutation in Leopards.

At this moment, both the large and small Leopards were extremely thin, clearly having not eaten for a long time.

And not far from them, there was a rather peculiar-looking Impala.

Normal Impalas have reddish-brown or golden-yellow fur, but this Impala's fur was whitish, as if it had albinism.

In addition, compared to typical Impalas, this Impala was slightly larger, and its two pointed horns on its head were as white as jade.

This seemed to be... a mutated Impala?
