145: Chapter 145 The Uprising in the Mountains! (2/3)
In a closed secret room in Jianghai City.
Inside the secret room, there were wisps of white smoke formed by spiritual energy; this was a spiritual energy cultivation secret room built by the Jianghai City authorities at a great cost.
Only those with C-grade spiritual energy aptitude or higher have the opportunity to cultivate here, but there are exceptions to everything, and two people have always been able to cultivate here.
They are Ran Xiaoyue and Li Minmin!
As the only two people among the 400 million population of Great Xia with S-grade spiritual energy aptitude, they have this qualification.
At this moment, they were cultivating inside the spiritual energy cultivation secret room.
Compared to two months ago, both girls' temperaments had changed slightly, becoming more spirited and possessing an ethereal charm.
The active-natured Li Minmin withdrew from her meditative cultivation state and looked up at Ran Xiaoyue, who was sitting to the side with her eyes tightly shut, still cultivating.
She couldn't help but complain, "I originally thought that after starting spiritual energy cultivation, I wouldn't have to study those textbooks, which would be an interesting thing... but I didn't expect to have to study ancient Taoist texts that are even more complex than the school subjects... and I also have to practice 'Body Tempering Gong' every day until I'm drenched in sweat..."
Although she said that, she didn't regret it at all in her heart.
Having only practiced spiritual energy for two months, she felt that her physical state was exceptionally good; her physical fitness and strength were rising rapidly, and now she felt that even a boxer would not be her match!
And more importantly, spiritual energy cultivation can beautify one's appearance; no girl can refuse this effect.
She glanced at the wisps of spiritual energy white mist drifting in the air of the spiritual energy cultivation secret room.
"If it were on the peak of Divine Phoenix Mountain, the cultivation efficiency there would definitely be much higher!"
Afterward, she scrolled through her phone to see if there was any gossip news; this was her usual slacking routine.
Then, her sparkling eyes suddenly widened!
"Damn! Little Phoenix is about to evolve again!"
It was rare for her to curse, and this shout also interrupted Ran Xiaoyue, who was in the middle of spiritual energy cultivation.
"What's wrong? Did something happen to Little Phoenix?"
Ran Xiaoyue, having finished her cultivation, got up and came to Li Minmin's side, her bright eyes looking at the phone screen.
A large headline filled the entire page: The Ancient Creature giant bird on Divine Phoenix Mountain has once again triggered a hundred-mile thunderstorm, suspected to be undergoing a second mutation evolution!
"Little Phoenix is about to evolve again!"
A happy expression appeared on Ran Xiaoyue's exquisite and beautiful face.
The stronger Little Phoenix is, the better it can protect itself. She cherished the bond she had with Little Phoenix very much...
...
Outside the suburbs of Jianghai City.
At this moment, the sky for hundreds of miles was covered by a thick layer of dark clouds, and not a single ray of sunlight could penetrate through, causing the entire land to fall into darkness.
In the dark clouds of the sky, golden thunder formed a natural thunderstorm, constantly tearing through the clouds and causing them to churn!
The booming sounds of the thunderstorm kept coming, and a palpitating aura filled this hundred-mile mountain forest.
But unexpectedly, the beasts that were originally cowering on the ground in fear were now standing up restlessly one after another.
Their wild gazes, filled with strong covetousness, looked toward the distant, towering mountain peak; they sensed with their bodies that there was something on the peak attracting them!
A look of conflict appeared in the eyes of many intelligent beasts; having lived here for a long time, they knew that the great mountain was the habitat of the Great Lord of this territory!
And the Great Lord was the most powerful creature in this territory!
The scene last time where Ye Yang used the lightning power within his body to fight the Great Xia army had been witnessed by all the beasts in this mountain!
Asking them to approach that great mountain—wasn't that voluntarily becoming food, seeking their own death?!
As time passed, only a few minutes later, that attractive force became even greater!
"Roar..."
Most of the giant beasts in the mountain forest let out strained roars; they were using their reason, or perhaps their fear of the powerful Great Lord Ye Yang, to suppress the impulses within their bodies...
A few minutes later, this attraction exploded! It became extremely intense, completely overpowering their reason!
"Roar!!!" "Woo-woo-woo!!!" "Caw-caw-caw!!!"
The beasts in the mountain forest let out wild roars! They all rushed together toward the great mountain that was emitting the powerful attraction!
Rumble... The entire mountain forest seemed to boil; the ground rumbled, as if a violent earthquake had erupted!
Because this was the commotion caused by tens of thousands of beasts!
In the mountain forest, except for a small number of beasts that were intelligent, had high evolution levels, or were powerful enough to resist the impulse, most of the beasts rushed toward the direction of Divine Phoenix Mountain!
The scene was incredibly grand and massive; the endless stream of beasts was like an invincible general, dust in the forest rose into the sky, and huge trees crashed down to the ground.
At this moment, in a corner of the mountain forest, the same thing was happening.
The solid ground of the forest was trembling violently, erupting with bursts of roaring sounds. Amidst the roaring, there were also many beast cries mixed in!
It turned out that a massive beast tide composed of beasts from around Jianghai City was rushing over; looking at their direction, they were also attracted by Divine Phoenix Mountain and were rushing rapidly toward it!
Because they did not know that a powerful Great Lord existed in this mountain territory, they had no scruples and soon caught up with the beast tide in the mountain forest!
The two beast tides merged together in a strangely harmonious way, but this group of later arrivals had no scruples, and their speed quickly surpassed the beast tide in the mountain forest, rushing toward Divine Phoenix Mountain!
The beasts that made up the mountain forest's tide were stunned as they looked at this group of strange beasts, and then they were overjoyed!
They could completely let this group of beasts, who didn't know where they came from, scout the path...
...
Just as the two beast tides were advancing toward Divine Phoenix Mountain one after another, no one noticed that in a corner of the dense forest, a massive creature with a pitch-black body exuding an ominous, corrosive aura was rushing toward Divine Phoenix Mountain just like the beast tides!
The black, massive figure suddenly stopped, and its head, flicking a long, scarlet tongue, involuntarily looked up at the sky covered in dark clouds and enveloped in golden lightning.
The momentum of the golden thunder grew larger and larger; it was now like a huge golden spider web, covering the hundred miles of dark clouds.
The black, massive figure couldn't help but tremble; it felt a crisis from the sky...
But... the vertical pupils in its eye sockets looked toward the distant mountain peak like a demon; that temptation was simply too great for it!
After pausing in place for a second, the black, massive figure flicked its scarlet tongue and advanced rapidly toward the direction of Divine Phoenix Mountain!
Its massive body left a gully on the forest floor like one in a field, only this gully was over three meters wide...
... Meanwhile, in the sky, a helicopter appeared beneath the dark clouds and thunder...
