Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Poisonous Mushroom?

Unconventional survival substance?What is that?

Chu Ge was baffled by the abrupt prompt; the purple mushroom had actually alarmed the rules of the Survival Arena.

After swallowing three purple mushrooms, his body felt hot, he couldn't tell if it was discomfort or pleasure.

Big Hair, who had only eaten one purple mushroom, became excited. It jumped around on the hillside, roaring non-stop, as if feeling the arrival of spring.

After a good while.

Chu Ge's body temperature began to drop.

He got a bit excited.

An unconventional survival substance sounds powerful.

Could he be undergoing a genetic mutation?

Would his Attribute Panel see a significant rise?

At this moment, Chu Ge felt like he had hit the jackpot.

This wave wasn't a loss!

However.

When his body temperature returned to normal, he didn't feel stronger.

He tried slapping Big Hair; Big Hair howled in pain and looked at him with grievance.

"The reaction is the same as before, could it be I'm overthinking?"

Chu Ge felt depressed; he had thought he would become stronger, but nothing happened.

Could it be a poisonous mushroom?

The full effects of the poison would manifest in a month, so was that why the Survival Arena notified him that he would be forced to exit after a month?

Thinking this, he felt even more depressed.

Big Hair came over and nuzzled him affectionately with its head.

Looking at its silly appearance, Chu Ge's heart skipped a beat.

It had also eaten the poisonous mushroom, didn't that mean it was going to die?

Endless regret and discontent surged in his heart.

He lay down on the ground, utterly dejected, devoid of any fighting spirit.

All his calculations, yet he hadn't anticipated dying this way.

Indeed.

The old saying was right, the prettier the mushroom, the more inedible it is.

Although Big Hair didn't understand what he was thinking, it could feel his emotions and lay quietly by his side, keeping him company.

Half an hour later.

The photography team's off-road vehicle arrived; seeing Chu Ge and Big Hair lying on the hilltop, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"They don't look right; could they be injured?" the bearded man asked nervously. They were unaware of what had transpired in the woods and couldn't help but worry.

It was rare for Chu Ge to look so dejected and downcast.

They were very worried but couldn't rush over to check.

They had their principles, and couldn't interfere with the wildlife, even if Chu Ge and Big Hair were nearly killed by other male lions, they could only watch.

After all, the two male lions had killed many animals, and they hadn't saved those animals either.

Humans have already interfered too much with wildlife; as a photography team promoting wildlife, they couldn't violate the laws of nature.

Of course, if it were an endangered species, they might intervene.

Such is humanity. Explore more at M V L

After slaughter, comes pity.

Another hour passed.

Suddenly, three blood-soaked male lions ran out from the woods; they looked as if they had been skinned, which was terrifying to witness.

Chu Ge and Big Hair quickly got up and fled.

The photography team was startled and quickly turned the camera towards them.

"My God, what on earth happened in the woods?" a white man swallowed and asked with a quiver in his voice.

He had seen many pitiful states of animals, but the sight of those three male lions still made his heart shudder.

The three Bloody Lions ran for a while, then staggered and fell to the ground, emitting mournful roars.

Chu Ge heard them but did not look back.

It seemed the male lions had also been lured by the poisonous mushrooms and probably had a battle with the giant python; such a pity.

The brothers ran towards the end of the savannah.

All the way there, Chu Ge thought about how to spend the remaining month.

He still had many plans unfulfilled, and the thought of leaving like this was very frustrating.

Especially Big Hair.

Maybe Big Hair wasn't poisoned as deeply as he was, but could Big Hair survive on its own without him?

Chu Ge turned his head to look at it, and seeing its tongue stick out in a silly manner, his heart felt blocked.

The experience in the animal kingdom was tougher than he had imagined.

It was hard not just in terms of survival skills but also emotionally.

Humans, after all, are full of feelings.

Anything that evokes emotions in people is hard to let go.

"Sigh, take it one step at a time."

Chu Ge sighed in his mind. Searᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

However, what happened during the following period was beyond his expectation.

Every morning when he woke up, he felt that his body had become stronger.

Not just him, but Big Hair too.

The increase in Big Hair's strength was evident from its speed.

A week later, Big Hair caught a wildebeest on its own and dragged it by the neck all the way back to Chu Ge.

The changes in the brothers were noticed even by the photography team.

They thought it was strange, but didn't dwell on it.

After witnessing Big Hair hunt alone, Chu Ge was completely relieved.

Even without him, Big Hair should be able to survive.

But it would be very lonely.

This was an experience that most Lion Kings would go through.

So, Chu Ge stopped hunting and focused solely on exercising his body every day, leaving the hunting entirely to Big Hair.

Since Big Hair's first successful solo hunt of a wildebeest, its confidence was sky-high, so much so that it even dared to take on a buffalo alone.

Even though his big brother didn't hunt, it didn't eat alone; it would always drag the prey to Chu Ge and share the meal.

This gesture touched not only Chu Ge but also the photography team.

The emotions of animals are sometimes more sincere and pure than those of humans.

...

That evening.

Big Hair hadn't returned from hunting, and Chu Ge was worried, so he followed Big Hair's scent.

He traveled nearly two kilometers out.

Reaching a hillside, he looked down and his eyes instantly turned red.

At the edge of the forest below, Big Hair was surrounded by more than twenty spotted hyenas. It crouched on the ground, covered in blood on its nose and back. It was still resisting, growling lowly, looking very ferocious. The spotted hyenas circled, looking for an opportunity to attack.

"Roar—"

Chu Ge let out an angry roar and charged downhill.

Even on a decline, he ran at full speed, with his muscles bulging, filled with explosive power, giving an unstoppable impression.

The spotted hyenas, seeing him charge suddenly, were all frightened.

But they didn't run away; instead, they called out towards him.

Spotted hyenas are afraid of male lions, but with a large enough pack, they even dare to take on a male lion.

As the most infamous predators of the African savannah, spotted hyenas are utterly cruel, and their favorite thing to do is to eat their prey alive, starting from the buttocks, and the prey's intestines might be torn out before they even die.

Chu Ge already loathed spotted hyenas, and seeing Big Hair injured, at that moment, a rage he hadn't felt in a long time filled his heart.

He wanted to tear that pack of spotted hyenas to shreds!

His eyes quickly filled with blood, visibly turning bright red in an instant.

Soon he was among the hyena pack.

"Roar—"

"Roar roar!"

Chu Ge was like a tank, sending three spotted hyenas flying head-on. His movements were ferocious, as he swung his claw at the face of a nearby spotted hyena, ripping off a strip of flesh, blood spraying everywhere.

The spotted hyenas were frightened and scattered to hide.

Chu Ge didn't stop, he chased and tore into the spotted hyenas. Over twenty of them were thrown into complete disarray by his assault.

Seeing him kill his way in, Big Hair became excited. It roared and, despite being wounded all over, stood up and launched an attack.
