219: Chapter 219 The Great Battle is Coming
The bright red feathers on his body seemed to have been ignited, beginning to bloom with a brilliant red radiance, as if set ablaze by a raging fire; however, within the red glow, there was a distinct golden luster.
"Roar..."
"Chirp, chirp..."
Bear Two and Little White Fox Ah Li, who was hugging a mobile phone, had long since run to the side, staring with wide eyes at the fluctuations coming from the distance.
Under their wide-eyed gaze, Ye Yang's figure gradually changed...
His entire body of bright red feathers was once again coated with a thin layer of golden radiance, as if a dazzling special effect had been added to a photograph, making it breathtakingly vibrant.
His physique also underwent some subtle changes; the tail feathers, which were half the length of his body, became even more brilliant and bright, like the most beautiful and perfect work of art in the world.
The crest feathers on his head also became more beautiful; this was the successful atavism of his species, and it meant that Ye Yang's body had reached adulthood.
"Notification: Your species has successfully undergone atavism, and your species has changed to Candle Flame Bird!"
"Notification: Your Candle Fire bloodline has been successfully activated!"
"Notification: Your Wind Power bloodline has been successfully activated!"
Accompanied by the system prompts appearing in his mind, the changes to his body gradually ceased, and Ye Yang opened his eyes.
"The physical changes are not as massive as before, but the increase in power is tremendous!"
A flash of light streaked through the depths of his golden pupils!
"System Panel!"
Host: Ye Yang
Species: Candle Flame Bird
Evolution Level: B-
Bloodline: Thunder Power, Glazed Blazing Fire, Wind Power, Candle Fire (1,000,000 Supreme Aura Cells; the more Supreme Aura Cells, the stronger the bloodline ability!)
Talent: Thunder-Fire Glazed Body (B), Toxin Immunity (C+), Gigantification (C+)
Mental Power Level: B
Mental Skills: Detection Spell, Telepathy, Intimidation (Mental skill; skill intensity and level increase with Mental Level!)
Skills: Thunder-Fire Breathing Technique (proficient), Thunder-Fire Barrier (proficient)
After his species successfully underwent atavism, the problem of insufficient physical potential was clearly resolved.
The spirit energy within his body had long since accumulated enough, so after the species atavism was successful, his evolution level broke through smoothly, reaching "B-"!
"Is this the Great Lord level that the underground origin stone creatures spoke of... It is indeed very powerful."
Feeling the power within his body and his powerful physical form, he had no doubt that the power he possessed now could crush his past self.
At the same time, his talent skills had all improved; Thunder-Fire Glazed Body reached 'B' grade, and his physical constitution became even more terrifying.
"The talents Toxin Immunity and Gigantification have actually both improved; this must have been driven by the breakthrough in evolution level..."
"I didn't expect that the swallowing talent could also be upgraded; this is truly an unexpected gain..."
His Mental Power level also increased by one grade; now his detection range had reached thirty kilometers, an extremely distant distance.
"Species atavism successful, evolution level increased... Why hasn't there been any change in size..."
"It seems that the body size of each species is different; creatures with larger body sizes do not necessarily have higher evolution levels..."
This was easy to understand; Little White Fox Ah Li's evolution level had already reached "D+", but her body still looked like a ball.
"Chirp, chirp... Big Brother, did your species atavism succeed?"
Little White Fox Ah Li came over holding the mobile phone, her cute fox face looking at him with full anticipation.
Ye Yang nodded. "Ah Li, how much time has passed?"
"Chirp, chirp..."
Little White Fox Ah Li extended her pink, tender little paws and counted on her fingers in a charming manner.
"Chirp, chirp... Five days have passed!"
"Five days already... Has anything happened in these five days?"
Hearing this, Little White Fox Ah Li nodded vigorously.
"Chirp, chirp... Big Brother, it seems that narrow-minded dragon from the Qinling Mountains came to look for you, but... for some reason, that dragon left here again..."
"Hmm?"
Ye Yang let out a sound of confusion, seeing Little White Fox Ah Li's pure pink fox eyes, and the simple-minded Bear Two nodding in agreement on the side.
"What Little White Fox Ah Li said is true..."
"It's fortunate that this dragon retreated; otherwise, this atavism state would definitely have been interrupted."
Although he still had a sliver of connection with the outside world when he entered the atavism state and could force himself to wake up at any time, if he had woken up, the atavism would definitely have failed.
That was truly a dangerous experience!
"That this dragon actually retreated means it must have some purpose, but this time, I am no longer afraid of it!"
A cold glint flashed through Ye Yang's golden pupils!
From the words of the Snake Mother, the evolution level of that mythical dragon creature was most likely at the Great Lord level, which was above evolution level "B-".
As long as he did not enter the depths of the Qinling Mountains or an environment with an extremely high concentration of spirit energy, that dragon could do nothing to him!
As for why Ye Yang's evolution level reached "B-" without being affected by the surrounding spirit energy concentration, Ye Yang had a hypothesis in his heart.
Just like oxygen in the air, he was originally a native creature of the Blue Star, and his body had completely adapted to environments with low or no spirit energy.
The underground origin stone creatures were different; environments with low spirit energy concentrations would make them feel uncomfortable, weak, lethargic... and even potentially lead to death in severe cases.
This was a principle he only observed after his evolution level reached "B-".
His gaze turned to the dragon blood tree standing to the side. "Perhaps it won't be long before the dragon blood tree can rejuvenate and grow again..."
"If the Snake Mother's heart blood could make the dragon blood tree surge in growth, then the heart blood of a dragon creature... to what extent would it make the dragon blood tree grow?"
Ye Yang felt a hint of anticipation...
...Meanwhile.
Since learning of the existence of the dragon creature, the leaders of Jianghai City had mobilized a large amount of military equipment to be transported to the Qinling Mountains, because they knew that the mythical dragon creature might return here again.
"I don't know why, but the leaders in the group have been very concerned about our Qinling defense line recently. Now, not only are there two regiments of troops here, but even large-scale missile launch weapons are fully equipped..."
"Why do I feel that the leaders' actions don't look like they are preventing wild beasts in the Qinling Mountains; it seems like the leaders are afraid of a terrifying creature... Could they be guarding against the Ancient Divine Phoenix?"
"That's impossible, right? The currently known most powerful creature is the Ancient Divine Phoenix. Since the Ancient Divine Phoenix has already reached an agreement with our Jianghai City, there is no need to mobilize so much firepower to guard against it; there must be other purposes."
"Didn't a creature from the Qinling Mountains cause a change in the weather last time? I guess it might be related to this."
"Brother, what you said makes some sense... Holy crap! You really are a jinx; another layer of dark clouds has drifted over!"
In the high altitude of over a thousand meters, a thick layer of dark clouds, carrying an invisible pressure, came rolling in...
