Judging from the panel, this Male Lion's strength is not weak.
It could be said that it is the strongest Extraordinary Creatures Chen Mo has encountered so far.
Evidently, after its Awakening, this Frost Lion had also hunted many Extraordinary Creatures, consumed the flesh and blood of many Extraordinary Creatures, and expanded its territory to an exaggerated extent.
However, there is still a significant gap compared to Chen Mo, whose maximum comprehensive combat power exceeds 200.
Soon, the white-furred Frost Lion stopped about 100 meters away from Chen Mo.
After evolving into an Extraordinary Creatures, the Frost Lion's enhanced sense of danger and increased intelligence prevented it from making a rash move.
Although the white-furred Lion Cub opposite looked like a Lion Cub, its size was extremely exaggerated.
Its shoulder height was nearly two meters, and its body length was almost four meters!!
It was a full size larger than him!
Moreover, it felt an unprecedented sense of oppression and threat emanating from this Lion Cub!
Since the Frost Lion swallowed a mysterious ice fruit and underwent its Extraordinary power Awakening more than a month ago, it had never encountered such a terrifying opponent.
Roar! (Leave this place!)
A powerful roar sounded.
After its Extraordinary Awakening, the Frost Lion could naturally use the lion language for simple communication.
It only wanted to drive this foreign lion out of its territory now.
Because it wasn't certain of victory, it dared not easily start a war against the Lion King that looked like a Lion Cub before it!
The Lion King opposite did not reply.
However, this was already the best answer.
Seeing the Lion King opposite completely ignore it, a trace of anger rose in the Frost Lion's heart.
It felt like it had completely lost face in front of the Lionesses!
To defend its territory and uphold its dignity, it finally charged toward Chen Mo.
"Roar!"
The Frost Lion leaped high, its claws carrying a thousand catties of force, striking fiercely at the Frost Lion Cub.
Although it had become Extraordinary, its fighting style had not changed!
However, the seemingly inevitable strike was casually dodged by the Frost Lion Cub.
This Frost Lion Cub actually burst forth with a speed completely inconsistent with its massive size!
Then, before the Frost Lion could react, it suddenly felt a tremendous force coming from its back!
The moment the Frost Lion attacked, Chen Mo entered [Rampage Form], and the instant he completed the dodge, he arrived behind the Frost Lion, gathering Ice-Type Spiritual Energy in his front paw and swinging heavily.
Dodging, leaping, and swinging his claw—the entire action was completed in one smooth motion.
The immense power directly sent the Frost Lion flying, causing it to tumble several times across the snow.
Roar!
Seeing their Lion King husband fall into a disadvantage, most of the Lionesses of the Frost Lion Pride let out angry roars and rushed up simultaneously, wanting to help.
They prepared to gang up on the opposing Lion King.
These Lionesses were the Frost Lion's "original mates," and most of them had given birth to his Little Lion.
To protect their cubs, they naturally did not want their Lion King husband to lose.
Roar!
Aisha and several other Lionesses roared, pouncing out as well.
Aisha rushed toward one Lioness, immediately sending her flying, and then frost appeared on her claws, heavily injuring another Lioness.
The current Aisha is in a phase where her size, strength, speed, and other attributes are all rapidly increasing.
Under the effect of [Gluttonous Lion], her size increased by a full circle in just four days, making her almost as large as an adult Lionesses.
Any medium to large prey encountered by the Lion Pride over the past two days was hunted solely by Aisha.
From the initial awkwardness that allowed prey to escape to her current ease, Aisha's growth rate was astonishing.
Now, ordinary low-tier Extraordinary Creatures are no match for her.
On the other side, before the Frost Lion could recover, the Frost Lion Cub's attacks arrived one after another, blue light shimmering on his sharp claws.
The Frost Lion quickly activated the ability it gained from its Awakening—Ice Solidification Technique.
A row of half-meter-high ice spikes unfolded around it. If the opposing Lion King dared to pounce, he would surely be pierced through!
However, in the next second, a powerful Ice Storm suddenly erupted centered on it, and the fierce ice wind instantly tore the ice spikes to shreds!
To quickly subdue the Frost Lion, Chen Mo unleashed the Ice Storm with full power for the first time, consuming 10 Dao of Ice-Type Spiritual Energy!
Bang!
Chen Mo tackled the Frost Lion to the ground, suppressing it beneath him with absolute power, then let out a deafening roar.
"Roar!" (Submit, or die!)
Feeling the power that completely crushed it, the Frost Lion felt the aura of death for the first time.
"Roar!"
It knew that if it dared to continue resisting, the Lion King before it would certainly bite through its throat without hesitation! Just as it had done to other Extraordinary Creatures before.
Finally, the Frost Lion let out a low growl and chose to submit.
Having just opened its spiritual intelligence and gained wisdom, it desired to live more than other creatures.
Along with the sound of the Frost Lion's submission, the resistance from the Lionesses also ceased.
They stood in front of their cubs, looking at Chen Mo with fearful eyes.
As a defeated Lion Pride, their cubs would customarily be killed!
However, the new Lion King merely glanced at them, then released the front paw that was suppressing the Frost Lion.
The Frost Lion quickly stood up, then subconsciously retreated a few steps.
It looked at the Frost Lion Cub, its eyes filled with fear.
Finally, it lowered its head, awaiting the Frost Lion Cub's judgment.
Would it be banished? Or would they all be exterminated?
"Roar!" (You may continue to stay in this territory, and I will not harm your wives or cubs. In exchange, you must hunt 1 Extraordinary Creatures for me every two days!)
Chen Mo let out a low growl.
He didn't want to kill this Frost Lion; instead, he wanted to incorporate it into his group.
The Ice-Type Spiritual Energy here is dense. Since Chen Mo planned to stay here for a while, he naturally needed to establish his own territory.
But relying only on him and his current Lion Pride was not enough to manage too large a territory, and the best way was to expand the Lion Pride.
Steal the territories of other Lion Kings and make them work for him!
This was also why Chen Mo was unwilling to leave, even though he knew this was another Lion King's territory.
Another reason for not killing this Frost Lion was that Chen Mo did not want to eat the flesh and blood of his own kind.
Even if it could increase his strength.
"Roar?"
Hearing Chen Mo's response, the Frost Lion felt disbelief—could the Lion King before him truly be so generous?!
Seeing that the Frost Lion Cub genuinely held no killing intent toward it, it once again expressed submission and gratitude.
"Roar!" (King, thank you for your mercy.)
"Roar?" (You don't have a name yet, do you? From now on, you will be called Xiong Ba.)
Seeing that the Frost Lion before him looked quite imposing, Chen Mo casually gave him a name.
"Roar!"
The Frost Lion nodded. Although it didn't understand the meaning of the name right now, it somehow felt that the name seemed... quite cool.
