Curse Shirou

Like Earth, the magic cheetahs of the Kalia steppes are the fastest mammals.

With a bird-like head and streamlined body, their top speed of 120 kilometers per hour allows them to catch up with almost all types of herbivores and avoid the threats of lions and hyenas.

Compared with the same kind, TOUJI's speed is faster and its explosive power is more durable. The ordinary cheetah's normal speed is only 93 kilometers per hour, and it can't maintain its state after reaching the top speed for 3 seconds, but TOUJI's physical talent allows it to maintain Dozens of seconds.

At such a speed, TOUJI rarely loses his composure. He followed the scent for 3 kilometers, and when he found the owner of the scent, he could no longer maintain his peak speed.

Its black fur absorbs more heat in the hot summer, and it sweats a lot to make it fatigue faster, but it still runs non-stop.

Maybe it hasn't been eaten yet—

The only glimmer of hope in his mind disappeared when TOUJI saw his opponent, the super giant shepherd dog.

The black panther is not afraid of opponents with strong magic power, because although it is born without magic patterns, it has another innate talent, which is immunity to magic effects.

Even if the opponents of the past can hit it by chance, only 10% of the magic will be effective, and the other 90% will be offset by the immune effect.

That's why it can live like a fish in water on this grassland where even rabbits can fireball.

But even if they are immune to magic, there is still an inescapable law of strength and weakness among mammalian carnivorous hunters, that is, weight and bite force.

And weight is the cruelest innate distinction.

The reason why regular-sized cheetahs avoid lions and hyenas is because their bodies are highly specialized. In order to increase speed during evolution, they cannot store fat, so their bodies are much thinner than hyenas and lions.

Moreover, in order to reduce resistance and improve grip, their heads are smaller than other beasts, their teeth are not long enough, and their claws cannot retract into the pads, so they are not sharp enough.

TOUJI's height and length are much larger than that of regular cheetahs, and his weight is equal to that of male lions. Neither hyenas nor lions dare to single-handedly trouble him like other cheetahs.

So in the past, this lonely big cat in the Lone Ranger has never encountered an existence that is not an opponent at all.

Until the moment it saw SHIROU——

Super giant is a specialization that is much rarer than giant. Shirou’s parents are both regular-sized Swiss shepherd dogs, but its size is ten times that of its parents. It weighs 500 kg in summer and can even be stored before winter. Fat to 800 kg.

The weight of the flame lion is only 200 kilograms. In other words, the opponent's weight is crushing for a single lion or TOUJI.

The only way for hunters on the mainland to overcome their size scales and defeat opponents far exceeding their own weight is to cast powerful magic.

But TOUJI does not have magic ability, so when he found that the other party noticed him from a distance, the hair on the black panther's back stood up.

The extremely long tail, which was used to maintain the balance of running, drooped subconsciously, and TOUJI let out a fierce growl at this big dog as strong as a bear.

If the thick and long black tail hadn't been hidden between the hind legs, it might have been a little more intimidating.

Giant shepherds have golden-brown pupils. Unlike cats, the pupils of canines look more gentle and stocky when they are not hunting.

SHIROU looked at the black panther falling behind him. He was not as thin as his kind, and the panther was not afraid to run away even when he saw the interlaced magic patterns on his body.

Even tried to kill it.

SHIROU is a little puzzled, it seems that it has never seen or offended the other party, right?

It stopped and wanted to see what the other party was trying to do.

TOUJI tucked its tail in high vigilance, but the pace of approaching did not slow down. It thought that even if it couldn't beat the white wolf, it would always be fine to escape.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, so close that TOUJI can already see the light red blood stained on the other side's snow-white mouth.

This bastard, ate the brat? !

The black panther's eyes were bloodshot, and he started to run with murderous intent. The white wolf seemed to be taken aback, and forgot to activate its magic, just staring at it blankly.

TOUJI changed direction at the moment of rushing up, from the front to the right and then to the left in a flash. The limbs of the white wolf are not as flexible as the cheetah. In fact, all other hunters are not as flexible as the cheetah.

SHIROU was hooked on the flank by TOUJI's front claws that changed direction in an instant. The black panther was very powerful and attacked fiercely. Fortunately, the claws were not so sharp, otherwise it would be over without leaving some blood.

Seeing the strength of the opponent, SHIROU put away his contempt. It let out a terrible growl in its throat, and the mane on its back was slightly puffed up, warning the opponent not to provoke again, otherwise it would fight back.

TOUJI stared at it angrily, unwilling to realize that the attack ability he was proud of was really not enough in front of an opponent whose size was far larger than his own.

Because even if it can successfully bite the opponent's throat, it will be easily thrown away. As long as it cannot cause fatal injuries, fighting is meaningless.

The opponent's physical strength is much better than it, and entanglement will only consume one's physical strength and give the opponent more opportunities to attack.

TOUJI knew this, but still lingered in circles. SHIROU was a little helpless. He had never met such a persistent opponent. Obviously, as long as he made a mistake and was bitten by it, the opponent might die.

But for some reason, the black panther has such a fierce temperament, making it retreat frequently, confused and at the same time unable to think of fighting back.

"grumble--"

A familiar, feeble cry came from a Swiss Shepherd as tall as a bear.

Where is the bird calling?

SHIROU turned his head full of question marks, raised his hind paws and looked, did he step on anything strange?

"Meow--"

Black Panther TOUJI:  …

This cry is definitely a cheetah species.

The shepherd dog Shirou suddenly remembered that there was a small thing on his back, and quickly turned his head to look for it from the thick mane, and took out a little leopard cub smaller than its paw.

TOUJI was stunned for a moment. It stared blankly at the leopard cub. It didn't expect MEGUMI to be carried by this white wolf all the time.

The strong body odor of the male shepherd hides the smell of the cubs, and no predators along the way noticed that there is a fragile presence on SHIROU's back.

Shirou looked at the black panther vigilantly. This leopard cub is obviously not the other's flesh and blood. A male black panther may kill a cub that is not his own. He will not let his guard down just because they are of the same species.

TOUJI made a hesitant grunt in his throat. When MERUMI saw his "father" appear, he jumped and ran towards him. The two-month-old cub twisted its buttocks and walked in the tall grass. unstable.

TOUJI has been paying close attention to the movement of the giant wolf, and seeing that it has no reaction, he lowers his head and sniffs the little leopard cub. MEGUMI also smells of the other party, as if he was bathed with saliva.

The panther sneezed in disgust, tripped the cub with its front paws, licked its belly again, and combed MEGUMI's fur.

And SHIROU is like a silly dog. It didn't expect that the other party was really the father of the cub. Normally, isn't a male leopard not able to raise offspring?

It turned out that it was because he snatched the child away that he chased him so far to find him...

SHIROU felt sorry and helpless, although the opponent scratched his stomach, he was not very angry.

With a whining sound in his throat, SHIROU approached the cheetah and his son, because it did not hurt the cub along the way. Although TOUJI was puzzled by its behavior, except for two vigilant growls, the black panther did not stop the other party. near.

The Swiss Shepherd rubbed his nose against the panther's face to show his friendliness. If TOUJI hadn't avoided it in disgust, SHIROU would have washed his face with saliva.

Gently picking up the nape of the baby leopard cub, Shirou hid the little thing in the back fur again, and retrieved the body of the young antelope that he had just captured.

The blood on its mouth is from this prey.

SHIROU signaled the Panther to keep up with it and continue towards the original goal.

TOUJI didn't know why, but the giant wolf had already let go, so he reluctantly followed him, gradually leaving his familiar territory, and walked to the hunting ground of a pair of cheetah brothers next door.

In the distance, the pair of cheetah brothers happened to be patrolling the border, looking at TOUJI who barged in with his head upright and a rogue face, the eyes of the male cheetahs were full of unkindness.

But knowing that they can't beat each other, the cheetah brothers just watched from a distance. As long as TOUJI doesn't hunt, they won't come to interfere.

SHIROU led the black panther into the settlement of a group of prairie wolves. It did not go too deep, but howled on the border, so as not to anger the leader of the wolf here and cause unnecessary disputes.

After a while, an interested female wolf came from among the wolves in the distance. Under the watchful eyes of a dozen prairie wolves and a male black panther, SHIROU put the prey on the ground and let the other party inspect it.

The female wolf is very satisfied with her prey. Given its size, this young antelope can feed her eight times full.

So it lay on its side on the ground, let the powerful white wolf on the opposite side put down the cub on its back, and allowed the foreign cub to drink its milk.

TOUJI's eyes widened. Having never experienced group life, he had no idea that he could still operate like this.

SHIROU nudged the little leopard cub with his nose, telling him not to be afraid, and the female wolf on the opposite side was also lying lazily, not intentionally scaring the little thing.

MEGUMI was pushed under the belly hair of the female wolf and drank nutritious milk again—two months after losing her mother and all her siblings and being picked up by a strange male.

The black panther TOUJI accepted the very unusual scene for him, watching the cub suckle in silence, he lowered his head and swung his tail, sweeping down a piece of weeds with his whip-like black tail.

It is said that it is a male, and it does not know how to raise cubs...

TOUJI wanted to walk away in frustration, but he was worried about the little boy, so he had to walk around irritably.

The female wolf who was nursing raised her head vigilantly, staring at the feline predator with her faint pupils, obviously aroused by TOUJI's behavior.

You must know that there are also cubs in the wolf pack, and the distance between the black panther and the cubs is not enough to make the female wolf completely relax her vigilance.

As hunters on the prairie, they are very aware of each other's abilities.

"Ow."

Seeing that the female wolf wanted to get up, Shirou quickly put her paws on the back of TOUJI, forcing him to sit down on his hind legs and stop walking back and forth.

The cool, sweaty tongue also licked the panther's face, trying to divert its attention so that the other party would not be so irritable.

TOUJI was unprepared, and was licked by the big guy on the spot. Shirou jumped on him in a daze, and was washed all over in a daze, and his body was full of the smell of the other party.

After the sense of danger dissipated, the female wolf put her head down again, relaxed her body and let the cubs continue to drink milk.
