"Meng Fei, aren't you very powerful? Come, roar twice for me to hear!"
"Haha! He's just a Bengal tiger! I'd be afraid of him if he was a Siberian tiger."
"That's it? Is that really it? A tiger, he says? Why do I feel like he's a sick cat?!"
The three strong African lions were mocking him.
Obviously, they did not take this Bengal tiger seriously at all.
If it was one-on-one, the Bengal tiger might be able to fight one of them.
The problem was that the three of them were working together.
This Bengal tiger naturally could not cause them any real harm.
In fact, none of the other eight teams participating in this mission were much of a threat to them.
That was why they could relax and enjoy the pleasure of killing the Bengal tiger, Meng Fei.
They were especially pleased when they saw how the wounded Bengal tiger tried to put up a vain struggle.
If they were alone, they might not be able to take down this Bengal tiger.
However, they would never admit such a thing, nor would they think that this Bengal tiger could fight them one-on-one.
After all, their true forms were that of an African lion!
They were the overlords of the grassland! The kings of all beasts!
Besides, Siberian tigers were not the strongest tigers on the land.
Among the lions, they had to admit that there were other lions stronger than them too. Take the Cape lion, for example!
However, they did not have enough points to exchange for the bloodline of the Cape Lion species!
Cape lions could reach a maximum length of four to five meters. In the 19th century, all wild Cape lions went extinct.
There was also the Barbary Lion! It was also stronger than the African Lion!
Barbary lions were used as fighting beasts during the Roman Empire to satisfy the ancient Romans' thirst for blood and violence. They subsequently went extinct in the 20th century due to mass hunting.
Of course, the strongest was still the American lion!
The American lion was the largest feline in the history of the world.
They mainly lived in North America during the Ice Age.
It is said they used to grow up to four to six meters in length, but they had long since gone extinct.
Therefore, if the lions really had a ranking...
The number one lion species would be the American lion!
The first place was the American lion!
The second place was the Cape lion!
The third place was the Barbary lion!
The fourth place was the African lion!
In fifth place was the Cameroon lion!
…
There were even more subspecies of tigers.
For instance, there was the famous saber-toothed tiger, and the largest, most intimidating Siberian tiger!
All in all, tigers were also very formidable.
More importantly, the largest existing tiger was now the Siberian Tiger!
Thanks to good national protection measures, they had been saved from extinction.
Hence, Siberian tigers were very revered in the current day. It was hard to say if they were stronger or weaker than the saber-toothed tigers of old!
The saber-toothed tiger's strength, size, and combat strength were all befitting that of the top predators who lived in the Ice Age, the same era as the American Lion.
However, in terms of size, it was hard to say that the saber-toothed tiger was larger than the Siberian Tiger.
After all, the saber-toothed tiger had lived for too long. Their appearance could no longer be verified.
However, the Siberian tiger was currently the largest feline on earth!
That was also why the lions and tigers never saw eye to eye.
Although Wang Mang favored tigers, lions had their strengths too. They were evenly matched in many ways.
However, in terms of survivability, tigers were generally stronger than lions.
Why? It was because tigers lived alone. As the saying goes, there can never be two tigers on one mountain — unless one is male and the other is female.
Then again, lions were born majestic. The lion's mane especially looked mighty.
It was really difficult for a tiger to bite through a lion's windpipe. The fur on the lion's neck was extremely thick.
That circle of fur on the lion's neck was practically a layer of natural protection.
In addition, it was worth mentioning that the largest lions were male lions!
However, female tigers were generally larger than males. In terms of size, male tigers were really inferior to female tigers!
Back to the current situation...
When Wang Mang and the others stumbled across the felines, the gorillas and bears were furious.
"Captain!"
"Captain!"
"Gah! Only cowards rely on numbers!"
The big bear and the gorilla roared angrily.
Hearing the commotion, the Bengal tiger was subconsciously shocked and hurriedly shouted, "Hurry, run!"
He did not even turn around because he knew without looking that his team could not defeat the three African lions in front of him.
However, he quickly realized that something was wrong. The African lions that had surrounded him earlier had actually retreated.
At the same time, the other two African lions actually gathered together.
When Meng Fei looked up, he realized that two members of his team had arrived.
More importantly, Meng Fei saw that his team had brought over a colossus.
It was a true colossus, in every sense of the word! This giant python was enormous! Its body was as black as ink, as thick as two people's waists, and its body length reached an exaggerated 20 meters!
To be honest, after seeing this python, Meng Fei really felt his scalp go numb. It was freaking huge!
Its size was even more abnormally large than Wang Mang's, the python they had crossed a few days ago!
Soon, however, Meng Fei felt a sense of familiarity. After carefully observing the snake, his mouth fell open.
The python was more than simply familiar! It was none other than Wang Mang, the very snake they had met a few days ago!
However, even if it was a Titan Python, wasn't its growth rate a little too exaggerated?
Less than half a month had passed!
It was once 14 meters long, but now it was 20 meters long!
Was the snake on hormones?
Or did he take some genetic potion like in the movies?
Otherwise, how else could Wang Mang's body reach such an enormous size?
Evidently, Meng Fei was very puzzled by Wang Mang's growth in such a short period of time.
Meng Fei, who felt his scalp go numb, did not expect his teammates to bring this guy along.
What were the two members of his team trying to do?
Did they want to die again?
However, Meng Fei was indeed a genius with high EQ and intelligence.
He quickly analyzed the situation. Right now, Wang Mang was very likely a friend, not an enemy!
Since the python did not attack his two teammates and even stood together with them, he surmised that there was only one possibility.
This python must have reached some unknown agreement with his two team members.
Thinking of this, Meng Fei retreated without hesitation.
When the Bengal tiger arrived beside Wang Mang and his teammates, he began to lick the bloody wounds on his body while panting.
In Wang Mang's opinion, he was an utter mess right now!
