Curled Ear let out a sad roar. "Aman."

He and Aman were closer than brothers. When they first met, it was Aman who had saved him from a buffalo herd after a failed hunt, and they'd formed an alliance ever since, wandering together.

If their bond wasn't so strong, Curled Ear wouldn't have risked his life charging into the lion pride of Great Valley to ask Nyx for help.

"He's not dead; stop making noise," Felix said coldly, suppressing Curled Ear. "Don't disturb Nyx."

Feeling threatened, Curled Ear immediately fell silent, sniffling softly. His eyes remained fixed on Nyx, placing all his hope in her. If Aman died, he truly didn't know what to do next.

Nyx circled around and carefully examined the poor lion, and then looked up at Curled Ear. "What has he eaten recently?"

"Wild boar and rabbit." Curled Ear thought hard. "He also caught a bird, but didn't eat it."

Nyx looked around, her gaze settling on some mushrooms growing near a decayed stump. “Did he eat those?"

She initially suspected Aman was poisoned, and after checking, she didn't find any snake bites on him, so she suspected food poisoning.

There were many poisonous plants on the plains, but lions didn't typically eat grass and weren't that foolish. Either Aman had eaten a poisonous prey, or, out of curiosity, had consumed something toxic.

After this rain, a bunch of mushrooms had sprouted everywhere. Many were harmless, but some were poisonous, and it was hard to tell just by looking-this was the most likely source of the poison.

"No," Curled Ear said, looking confused, "We know not to eat these things."

Mushrooms were never on the lion's menu, and they weren't hungry enough to eat something bad.

Without thinking, Curled Ear denied it, but then suddenly remembered something and widened his eyes. “Wait a minute. Maybe he ate one. When Aman was catching the rabbit, he accidentally bit a mushroom, but I didn't notice if he spit it out."

Curled Ear ran towards a clump of yellow mushrooms nearby, looking completely harmless. “This one.”

With just one glance, Nyx was sure-it was indeed poison.

She quickly scratched some shapes of plants on the ground with her claws and urged Curled Ear, “Hurry and find them. Once you do, feed them to him right away.”
