177: Chapter 177 Xiong Da's Departure
At the three-thousand-meter peak of Divine Phoenix Mountain lay a flat area of nearly a thousand square meters, specifically constructed by the humans of Jianghai City.
The mountain range of Divine Phoenix Mountain was exceptionally majestic, resembling a giant standing between heaven and earth, spanning the dense forests in the southern suburbs of Jianghai City and blocking the connection point between the edge of the Qinling Mountains and the outskirts of Jianghai City.
On the summit, a heroic giant bird radiating flames stood tall, with a white giant bear hanging its head beside it.
"Hmm?" Ye Yang's golden pupils shifted, and he raised an eyebrow.
"Xiong Da, are you leaving?" A calm, melodious voice rang out, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
A look of panic appeared on Xiong Da's hanging, ferocious bear face, for he was very familiar with his boss; the boss's demeanor clearly indicated dissatisfaction with his words.
Xiong Da immediately let out a low roar to explain.
"Roar... Boss... I have to leave..."
"Roar... I want to become stronger..."
"Roar... My instincts tell me... to become stronger... I must go and slaughter and devour other powerful creatures..."
Ye Yang stared straight at the Xiong Da before him. After a long while, until Xiong Da's body began to tremble, he finally withdrew his gaze.
"Since that's the case, you may leave. Head in the direction of the Qinling Mountains; there are many powerful creatures there. Remember, do not go into the depths."
He heard no lies in Xiong Da's words, and he still trusted Xiong Da very much.
Hearing his boss's reminder, Xiong Da roared in excitement to express his gratitude.
"Roar... Thank you, Boss... When I evolve and become stronger... I will definitely return to help you..."
Ye Yang nodded, watching Xiong Da's back until his figure disappeared from the summit, his eyes then filled with contemplation.
"Xiong Da needs to devour other creatures to become stronger..."
"In other words, if Xiong Da wants to raise his evolution level to 'C-', he must devour powerful creatures..."
"Then why has my evolution been so smooth..."
Ye Yang felt some doubt in his heart; his path of evolution had always been smooth.
He could tell that Xiong Da's evolution level had long reached 'D+', and the next evolution level was 'C-'.
Taking himself as an example, after rising to 'C-', he would activate the bloodline power within him. However, his own bloodline activation had always been natural; as long as the conditions were met, the Lightning Energy within him could summon dark clouds and thunderstorms...
"Could it be that this is also because of the system?"
With an internal sigh, at this moment, within his Telepathic Sensing skill, Xiong Da's aura had already vanished from within the fifteen-kilometer sensing range.
The last perceived direction of the aura was exactly toward the Qinling Mountains, and he gazed out with his golden phoenix eyes.
"I hope Xiong Da can successfully become stronger and return safely."
After several months of contact, he still trusted Xiong Da. And even if Xiong Da met with an accident or never returned, he would not feel sad.
He had only paid Xiong Da with one dragon blood fruit, but the help Xiong Da had given him far exceeded the value of a single dragon blood fruit.
"I just don't know if other creatures also need to devour each other to raise their evolution level, just like Xiong Da?"
He glanced to the side at the fluffy little white ball on a rock.
Little White Fox Ah Li was still tirelessly playing with her phone.
A glint flashed in his eyes! "Detection Spell!"
Race: Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox. Evolution Level: D+. Bloodline: Unawakened. Talent: Source of Spirit (C) ??? Unawakened. Mental Strength Level: C. Mental Skills: Telepathy, Intimidation, Charm, ??? (Unawakened). Skills: Spirit Fox Breathing Technique (Mastery).
"Good heavens!" When he saw on the panel that Little White Fox Ah Li's mental strength level had reached the C-grade level, Ye Yang's eyes couldn't help but tremble.
One must know that his current evolution level was 'C', while his mental strength level was only 'C+'. This was thanks to his system, which allowed his mental strength level to rise every day from his rest, as well as from the fear felt by the humans of Jianghai City and the wild beasts in the mountains.
Yet even so, his mental strength level had only surpassed his evolution level by a small rank. However, Little White Fox Ah Li had actually reached 'C' in mental strength level while her evolution level was still 'D+'!
This was crossing a major stage, plus a minor stage! To describe it in two words! Cheating!
Furthermore, Ye Yang also noticed that the proficiency level of Little White Fox Ah Li's Spirit Fox Breathing Technique had already reached Mastery.
Over these few months, Little White Fox Ah Li had clearly only been surfing the internet on her phone, yet she had improved faster than Ye Yang's three beast underlings.
Judging from the aura on Little White Fox Ah Li, she was faintly even stronger than Xiong Da, who had just left.
Ye Yang was puzzled. Xiong Da had left this place to evolve and become stronger, heading to the Qinling Mountains to find an opportunity for his evolution level to break through. Then why was Little White Fox Ah Li still staying here?
Ye Yang walked over and posed his question to the little white fox.
"Chirp, chirp..." Hearing Ye Yang's question, Little White Fox Ah Li put down her phone with her two little paws, her pink fox eyes, the size of puppy eyes, looking up at Ye Yang.
"Chirp, chirp... Xiong Da must have reached a bottleneck in his evolution level..."
"Chirp, chirp... Xiong Da's choice is correct. If he wants his evolution level to rise... he must go hunt and devour the flesh and blood of other creatures... or consume spirit plants that contain ancient genetic factors..."
The existence of evolution levels had naturally been told to Little White Fox Ah Li by Ye Yang.
"Ah Li, how do you know so many things?!" Ye Yang blurted out, looking down at Little White Fox Ah Li. He seemed to realize that this Little White Fox Ah Li was not just someone who only knew how to play with a phone.
Little White Fox Ah Li's pink fox eyes fell into a trace of recollection.
"Chirp, chirp... I don't know why I know these things either; it's as if this information just appeared in my mind..."
"Chirp, chirp... The flesh and blood of powerful creatures contain ancient bloodlines, or as humans say, genetic factors. Likewise, some precious spirit plants are the same..."
"Chirp, chirp... If a creature wants to continuously undergo atavistic evolution, it can only use these two methods."
When the little white fox said this, she looked at Ye Yang with confusion in her pink fox eyes.
"Chirp, chirp... Big Brother, why are you able to... continuously raise your evolution level?"
Ye Yang said nothing. "Ah Li, then why are you able to continuously raise your evolution level?"
"Chirp, chirp... Me? Oh, that's right..."
Ye Yang looked down with thoughtful eyes at the confused-looking Little White Fox Ah Li. The reason for Little White Fox Ah Li's rapid evolution and leveling up went without saying; after all, her origin was mysterious, and her own potential was extremely high.
He muttered to himself.
"The information that the little white fox knows is very likely like the inherited memories in the novels of my past life..."
"Naturally, a naturally powerful and mysterious creature race is different from a creature like me who started evolving from a Sparrow..."
"As Little White Fox Ah Li's evolution level rises, she should know more and more information."
Noticing that Little White Fox Ah Li had slipped away and started playing with her phone again, Ye Yang's heart stirred...
He thought of a very important matter...
"On Blue Star, are there many other mysterious creatures like Little White Fox Ah Li..."
