Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 481 - Mutant Lioness
Chapter 481: Chapter 481: Mutant Lioness
Chapter 481: Chapter 481: Mutant Lioness
The mutated hippopotamus lying on the road indeed did not attack them.
If the group could see from behind, they would find that the hippopotamus was already dead, lying on the ground, with two not-so-small mutated tigers by its side, feasting on the soft flesh of its belly.
It’s just that this scene was not visible to Su Jin and her group from behind.
“Dad, stop for a moment,”
Lu Hao, sitting in the front row, said, noticing the blood seeping out from under the mutated hippopotamus.
Indeed, after the vehicle stopped, two imposing mutated tigers appeared on top of the hippopotamus.
Roar!
Seeing someone disrupting their meal, the two mutated tigers were extremely angry and let out a deafening roar at the armored vehicle ahead.
Su Xiangzhe drove the vehicle backward a little to prevent the two tigers from directly pouncing onto the vehicle.
The moment the vehicle moved again, the tiger on the left swiftly leaped forward, almost as if intending to smash the vehicle with a swipe of its paw.
“Let’s get out, Dad; you take grandpa and grandma to a safe place and wait,”
Su Jin said and then jumped out of the vehicle.
The area around them was covered with withered grass, highly favorable for her Wood Element Special Ability.
Lu Hao and the others also jumped out, and Su Jin had already created dozens of sharp wooden spikes on the ground in front of her, restricting the movements of the two mutated tigers, preventing them from pouncing fiercely.
Roar!
Beast roars rose again, shaking the ground, and at the same time, some unnameable animals also hovered at the edge of the nearby forest, eyeing their direction menacingly.
Perhaps they were attracted by the scent of the hippopotamus’s flesh, or perhaps they were drawn by the group of humans. Inside the vehicle, Li Xiuying and Lin Yunguo couldn’t help but worry for them; those animals looked terrifying.
“Don’t worry; Xiao Jin and the others can handle it,”
Su Xiangzhe unscrewed a bottle of water and began to drink, his confident demeanor somewhat reassuring the elderly, but their hearts still jumped to their throats when they saw one of the tigers lunging towards their family.
Pu-chi!
A row of wooden spikes suddenly emerged from the ground, and the lunging tiger crashed into them, with one of its paws impaled by the spikes, causing it to roar in pain incessantly.
Seeing this, the other tiger quickly ran to the other side, attempting to attack from the flank, but before it could act, a huge fireball smashed towards it.
Animals have a natural fear of fire, and the mutated tiger hurriedly tried to retreat but found it was completely immobilized.
Lin Xiuyuan had frozen all of its limbs in place!
Nie Qing, seizing the opportunity, flew into the air and slashed the throat of that mutated tiger with a Wind Blade.
Roar!
The other tiger broke free from the wooden spikes and pounced towards the group, but Su Jin quickly restrained its limbs with several thick vines and then swiftly ended it with a wooden spike.
“Hey, did we scare away all those animals over there?”
Lin Xiuyuan looked around at the various mutated antelopes and zebras and remarked.
“I’m afraid not,”
Lu Hao stopped Lin Cheng, who was about to dig out a Beast Core, and then looked in one direction.
With the ground shaking and the animal roars intensifying, about a dozen white or yellow mutated tigers ran towards the group. Su Jin roughly counted and said, “18…”
“It certainly deserves its reputation as a huge, well-known zoo,”
Lin Cheng remarked, but now the key issue was whether they were about to fight all these mutated tigers at once? Can they handle it?
Roar!
An even louder beast roar came from deep within the dense forest, and the mutated tigers suddenly slowed to a stop.
The group then saw a mutated lion, even larger than the hippopotamus, emerging from the trees.
It moved slowly with an elegant grace, resembling a silent leopard. It turned its head to glance in the direction of the group, then walked towards the mutated tigers.
Roar, roar!

A long howl emitted from its mouth, accompanied by its roar; in front of those mutated tigers, countless dense ice spikes suddenly erected, preventing them from moving forward.
It was an Ice-Element Mutated Lion!
“Is it helping us?”
Huang Yunxiang asked, somewhat puzzled.
“I don’t know.”
Su Jin shook her head but then saw those mutated tigers behind the ice spikes starting to scatter in all directions until they disappeared without a trace.
“It seems so.”
Nie Qing watched the lion with interest.
This was a lioness; although large and imposing, she was a bit thinner than the male lion they had encountered in the parking lot earlier.
The mutated lion slowly approached the group. Su Jin and Lu Hao cautiously protected their family behind them, and Lin Xiuyuan also prepared his Ice-Element Special Abilities, ready to launch an attack at any moment.
Whoo~
When the lion got close, it surprisingly lay down and started to whimper.
???
The group was puzzled, unsure of what it wanted to do.
Su Jin still did not relax her vigilance; instead, she waved a vine in front of it a few times, even making a motion as if to lash it.
But it still did not resist.
Whoo…
A nasal sound came from its nose, seeing that the people in front of it appeared not to understand.
The lion then slowly stood up, walked backward a few steps, and stretched out a paw, pointing into the dense forest.
“Is it asking us to follow?”
Nie Qing grew interested, wondering if there might be something valuable inside.
Su Xiangzhe also drove the car over, then led the elderly couple out of the vehicle.
“What’s with this lion?”
Su Xiangzhe also marveled, feeling no sense of a combat atmosphere.
“I don’t know; let’s follow and see. According to Master Nie, it’s just a very perceptive animal,”
Lin Cheng said curiously.
Su Jin was also curious about the lion’s intent, so she led her family further into the forest.
Inside the dense forest, the path seemed narrow, but it was actually a well-maintained stone paved path, which must have been a tourist spot before the apocalypse.
The lioness led the way, occasionally turning her head to check if Su Jin and the others were following.
Finally, in front of a huge wooden sign bearing “Jungle Lion King,” the group stopped.
Whoo…
A low cry came from inside a row of wooden fences.
The lioness also stopped. She stood next to the wooden fence, quietly watching the group, her eyes seemingly conveying a plea.
Lin Xiuyuan was the first to approach the fence and saw two tiny flesh-colored animals curled up on a pile of dead grass, seemingly unable to even open their eyes, looking like they had just been born.
“Are these your children?”
Lin Xiuyuan gestured as he asked the lioness.
Unexpectedly, the lioness nodded, then put her two paws together in a pleading gesture.
“Why does it look so… human?”
Huang Yunxiang asked, stunned.
