Elvis furrowed his brows tightly, hugging Gu Mengmeng in his arms while softly saying, “Xiao Meng, I’m here, I’m here.”
Lea stood up and walked towards Snake, “I need prey, please allow me to hunt in the Snake King valley.”
Snake did not respond, only giving an eye to the little snake behind him. After a while, many tiny snakes carried a prey and stopped in front of Lea.
Lea examined the prey carefully, and his expression darkened, “You made Mengmeng eat this?”
Displeased, Snake said, “This is the best prey in the Snake King valley.”
Lea pointed at the hole in the prey’s body that had been pierced by the venomous fangs, “Your method of hunting is by injecting venom into the prey, making them lose their ability to fight back. These venomous liquids may mean nothing to you, but it may cause Mengmeng’s life.”
Snake was startled, as if he had not thought of this detail from the start. He frowned and said softly, “No wonder she vomited so much the previous time…”
If Gu Mengmeng had been awake right now, she would have complained: Brother, I vomited so much last time because you roasted it for me raw with its skin and hair still on, alright?! It has nothing to do with the venom! Nothing!
Snake looked at Elvis, who was hugging Gu Mengmeng, and felt annoyed. His chest felt suffocated, and perhaps going out to hunt would be a good relief.
With that thought, Snake said with a cold expression, “You stay here to take care of Twomeng, I will do the hunting.”
Lea made no comment. This was not his territory. If Snake did not agree, no matter how skilled him and Elvis were, they would not have hunted any edible prey. Moreover, it was weird having Snake around, so him screwing off was all that Lea could ask for.
Snake exited the cave and transformed into beast mode, his train-like body shape exited into the depths of the woods. He originally wanted to vent his anger recklessly, but subconsciously avoided the fruit trees that were at risk of extinction.
“Damn it!” Snake stood before a fruit tree, really wanting to break the obstruction with a sweep of his tail, but his brain was filled with the image of Gu Mengmeng feeling sorry and upset while looking at the pile of fruits.
Sweeping his tail a few times in emptiness, Snake eventually slithered past that fruit tree, moving forward.
Meanwhile in the cave, both Lea and Elvis felt heavy-hearted. As males, they were too clear what the difference in skills meant. In the afternoon, they could still lie to themselves and say how Snake looked very interested in Gu Mengmeng, and that they would not object having someone of the Beast King level to enter the family if he wanted to just mate with Mengmeng. Even if it meant handing over Elvis’ position as the first partner, he could smile in his grave and undo everything personally, willingly giving up the position of first partner to the crazily powerful Snake King. Because with him, no one in the Beast World would ever dare to harm Gu Mengmeng.
However, it has not even been half a day, and look how much Gu Mengmeng had been tormented by him?
Elvis hugged Gu Mengmeng tightly, furrowing his brows extremely tightly, “What is the possibility of success… if we escape?”
Lea peeked at the colorful snakes that blocked the entrance of the cave, “These snakes are only wild beasts, but they contain extreme toxicity. Even a slight break in our skin, I may not walk further than five steps with my abilities. You’re slightly better, perhaps ten.”
Elvis tried to release his beast pressure, but those snakes only straightened their upper bodies, getting into a position ready for attack against Elvis.
