196: Chapter 196 A Blurry Shadow on the Red Moon! Intermediate Spirit Stone
In the southern suburbs of Jianghai City, at the edge of the Qinling Mountains, lies Divine Phoenix Mountain.
At the summit of Divine Phoenix Mountain, a giant bird radiating firelight stood with its head held high. A gentle mountain breeze blew past, yet it could not shake that pair of noble, majestic golden pupils, as if this figure had remained here for thousands of years.
It was currently night.
The Super Red Moon hung high in the sky. As usual, the land was plunged into a darkness that felt eternal. The crimson light emitted by the Red Moon did not bring any brightness to the earth; instead, it added a sense of eeriness and mystery to the dark environment, stirring an involuntary sense of unease in one's heart.
However, at this moment, Ye Yang, enveloped by the dark environment and the red moonlight, felt as calm as a still lake in his heart.
After all, he had been in the wild for nearly a year, and since the "Super Red Moon," he had grown accustomed to nights under the Red Moon.
But today... he was a bit unusual.
"Chirp, chirp... Big Brother, what are you looking at?"
Putting down her phone with her two little paws, Little White Fox Ah Li also noticed that Ye Yang was acting a bit strange today. Why did he keep looking up at the red moon in the sky?
Could it be that Big Brother wants to go to the moon?
Humans say there is a beautiful Fairy Chang'e on the moon... Could it be that Big Brother wants to find that Fairy Chang'e?!
Just as Little White Fox Ah Li's thoughts were wandering, Ye Yang spoke.
"I am looking at the moon... I seem to have seen some shadows on the moon..."
Little White Fox Ah Li's fluffy fox face changed, the phone in her little paws dropped to the ground, and she began to worry!
Big Brother must want to see Fairy Chang'e so much that he is having hallucinations!
Humans say that Fairy Chang'e has the number one, unparalleled beauty in the world...
What should I do... Ah Li is not a match for Fairy Chang'e yet...
Ye Yang did not notice the dramatic Little White Fox Ah Li, because his attention was entirely on the Red Moon in the sky.
"It wasn't a hallucination just now... I think I really saw shadows in the Red Moon..."
To be precise, they weren't human shadows, but the shadows of some creatures, just a blurry image that appeared for a few seconds.
At this moment, in his field of vision, the surface of the Red Moon was full of potholes and craters, as well as traces of dried-up mountains, earth veins, rivers, and oceans.
Since his evolution level increased to "C+," along with a huge improvement in his physical fitness, his eyesight naturally improved significantly as well.
Now his vision could completely serve as an ordinary astronomical telescope...
Tonight, idle and with nothing to do, he looked up at the Red Moon. When he discovered that he could clearly see the surface of the Red Moon, he began to observe it.
He didn't expect to actually observe some special scenes—a few blurry shadows flashed across his vision!
"Although the moon's volume is only one-eighth of the Blue Planet's, to be able to see the shadows of creatures from such a great distance... how huge must these creatures be?"
Ye Yang's heart gradually grew heavy. He did not believe that with his high mental power level, he would suddenly have hallucinations.
He silently looked at the crimson Red Moon hanging high in the sky again. "It seems the 'Super Red Moon'... or rather, the planet Moon, has some unknown secrets..."
He silently noted this thought in his heart.
...
The next day, the sun rose high, shining on the earth and bringing new vitality to all things.
"Notification: The Supreme Aura Cells in your body have sensed the energy in the sunlight... starting to operate..."
"Notification: After one day of operation of the Thunder-Fire Breathing Technique (Perfected) in your body, your spiritual energy has improved slightly!"
"Notification: Your mental power, after a night of rest, has gained a certain increase in experience points!"
"Notification: Your mental power, having sensed the fear of 150,000 beasts in your territory and 500,000 people in Jianghai City, has seen a significant increase in experience points!"
"Notification: After being strengthened by the Lightning Energy and fire energy in your body, your physical fitness has improved to a certain extent!"
"Notification: The Lightning Energy in your body has absorbed the electricity from the surrounding environment and has been strengthened to a certain extent!"
"Notification: The fire energy in your body has absorbed solar energy and has been strengthened to a certain extent!"
Along with the system notification sounds in his mind, Ye Yang opened his eyes.
Moving his golden claws and fiery red wings, feeling the indescribable comfort throughout his body, as well as the satisfaction of all-around improvement, Ye Yang's mood became cheerful again.
It was true; if his strength wasn't improving in all aspects every day, bringing him great joy and a good mood, he wouldn't be able to stay idle.
"Another new day!"
"What should I do today... go soak in the lake... or ask Monkey King Wukong to help me barbecue meat..."
"Hmm?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Ye Yang's pupils; according to his senses, a creature was approaching Divine Phoenix Mountain.
Lifting his brilliant golden claws, he walked to the corner of the summit, his pupils looking in the direction of the aura...
"So it's that guy, Xiong Er..."
"I haven't seen this guy in a few days, why is he back?"
"Could it be that he found another spirit stone?"
He shook his head; spirit stones are a scarce treasure.
In the past few days, with the help of two spirit stones, the spiritual energy concentration at the summit of Divine Phoenix Mountain had risen by about 30%.
Even though they were just two inanimate spirit stones, they could produce such good results, which was enough to prove the scarcity of spirit stones.
He speculated in his heart.
"Treasures like spirit stones might not be so rare after spiritual energy has transformed the world for a long time. Now, judging by the concentration of spiritual energy in the air, it is still in the early stages of the spiritual energy era."
"Roar..."
Just as Ye Yang was standing on the summit, Xiong Er's figure suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Divine Phoenix Mountain.
When he arrived at the summit of Divine Phoenix Mountain, Ye Yang's pupils suddenly shrank!
"Damn! This really is a spirit stone!"
The yellow light emitted by the transparent stone was very familiar to Ye Yang, and he intuitively felt that the grade of this yellow spirit stone might be higher than the quality of the previous lower-grade blue spirit stone and secondary green spirit stone.
"Detection Spell!"
Name: Intermediate Spirit Stone
Description: A high-concentration crystal of spiritual energy. It is a spirit stone born with a very small probability in an environment filled with spiritual energy. It can condense surrounding spiritual energy. Creatures with an evolution level of "C-" can absorb the spiritual energy contained within it, and as long as the crystal is not damaged, the effect of condensing spiritual energy will be permanently effective.
As expected!
Ye Yang's intuition was correct; this yellow spirit stone was an Intermediate Spirit Stone, and its quality was higher than that of the previous two spirit stones!
Xiong Er opened his bear mouth, and the yellow Intermediate Spirit Stone fell to the ground. He then sat down, his round, furry panda face looking at Ye Yang with expectation.
Xiong Er: ( o ° ω ° o )
"You guy... go get a piece of white jade bamboo yourself, don't sneak a bite, I remember the count..."
"Roar..."
