66: Chapter 66 Ye Yang's Alertness! The Assault Company's Pursuit
The gloomy darkness dissipated from heaven and earth, a touch of fish-belly white appeared on the distant horizon, and a red sun began to slowly rise in the east.
Outside the suburbs of Jianghai City, Divine Phoenix Mountain.
"Notification: The Supreme Aura Cells within your body have sensed the energy in the sunlight, awakened from slumber, and have begun to circulate..."
"Notification: After a day of arduous cultivation, the proficiency of your Basic Breathing Technique has increased..."
"Notification: After a night of rest, your Telepathic Sensing is refreshed, and its proficiency has increased..."
From the cave at the summit of Divine Phoenix Mountain, a white bird with a fit and beautiful physique slowly walked out.
Ye Yang's pair of golden pupils, bright as stars, gazed toward the distant dense forest.
From that direction, a burst of intense gunfire had come half the night ago; the gunfire was very dense and lasted for several hours.
Although it was very far from Divine Phoenix Mountain, his five senses were transcendent, and he still heard the commotion.
"Such dense firepower... It must be the army sent by the Great Xia Kingdom authorities."
The commotion this time involved extremely fierce firepower. He could not think of anyone in the Great Xia Kingdom, other than the authorities, who could possess such powerful military weaponry and equipment.
"That direction seems to be the direction of the pride's territory. Could it be that the Great Xia army encountered the pride?"
"In other words, the goal of the Great Xia military is not me, but that pride..."
A bright light flashed in his eyes.
This area of forest stretching for hundreds of miles had acquired a pride with formidable combat power, which he had only learned about two days ago through the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey troop.
While the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey troop spent long periods searching for spirit fruit in this mountain forest, they also scouted the surrounding situation.
As soon as the fierce-looking pride entered this mountain forest, they were quickly discovered by the Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys. After Ye Yang learned of this, he had left Divine Phoenix Mountain to observe this pride.
This pride was composed of six female lions and one Male Lion.
Ye Yang did not take those female lions to heart, because the aura they emitted was not as strong as his own three underlings, at most only "E-" grade.
However, the Male Lion in the pride alarmed Ye Yang; its aura was only slightly weaker than his own, but the gap was not very large.
He knew back then that the astonishing fluctuations that had come from the distance earlier were from this golden Male Lion!
It was, like him, a transcendent beast ranked at the top of the current Blue Star, at the "D-" grade!
Ye Yang wanted to hunt this Male Lion at that time, but thinking about the six "E-" grade female lions nearby, even if he added Big Brown Bear Xiong Da, Giant Panda Xiong Er, and Monkey King Wukong, he might not be a match for this pride.
Therefore, he decided to wait a while before hunting this pride.
This mountain forest belonged to him; he did not allow the appearance of any creature that threatened his status.
As for subjugating the pride... Ye Yang had never thought that he could subjugate a creature of the same grade; he did not have the legendary protagonist's domineering aura.
Among his three underlings, the Monkey King was the most loyal because he could give the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey tribe a vast territory for free movement.
As for Big Brown Bear Xiong Da and Giant Panda Xiong Er, they could only be considered as having submitted.
If he kept a creature that could pose a threat to him by his side and had to keep his guard up at all times, how tiring would that be? He certainly didn't want that.
"The location of Divine Phoenix Mountain is not in that direction..."
"However, looking at the direction the human army entered the forest, it really is very likely that they came specifically to deal with the pride..."
Thinking of this, Ye Yang's mood became pleasant.
If the Great Xia army drove away or killed the pride, that would really be a good thing for him.
"I hope no accidents occur..."
Afterwards, he lay down on the summit to bathe in the sunlight.
In order to defeat that Male Lion, he had specifically gone into the forest himself these past few days to search for spirit fruit, and he had also dispatched Big Brown Bear Xiong Da and Giant Panda Xiong Er to search for spirit fruit as well.
They found quite a lot...
He felt that his physical condition was excellent at this moment; it wouldn't be long before he could upgrade his level, and by then, the pride would be something he could manipulate at will and rub into the ground.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Captain Company Commander, while leading everyone to chase forward along the blood on the ground, reported the situation occurring here to the leaders of Jianghai City.
The leaders of Jianghai City were also constantly watching this place through a live broadcast and approved their request to rescue the missing soldiers.
And they demanded that after rescuing the soldiers taken by the female lions, they should immediately withdraw from the mountain forest.
Because they had already sensed from the beast tide attack event that occurred last night that there were still huge changes in the wilderness that they, as humans, were unaware of.
The group of people thus rushed rapidly through the forest...
...
The scene shifted.
A female lion the size of a water buffalo, covered in wounds, was galloping in one direction with a soldier in camouflage military uniform clamped in its mouth.
After arriving at the destination. Boom!
The injuries from the firearms on its body erupted, and its body smashed heavily onto the ground. The body of the camouflage soldier rolled forward like a soccer ball.
This camouflage soldier had already died the very first moment the female lion attacked him; how could a human neck withstand fangs that were dozens of centimeters long and sharper than steel knives?
"Roar..."
The female lion, with flesh torn all over its body, let out a low, painful roar.
A group of lions immediately rushed over from the distance; this was the pride's territory!
"Roar!"
Seeing the female lion injured, the female lions let out an angry roar! They paced back and forth around the female lion's body.
The golden-furred Male Lion did not come over; its eyes stared straight at the delicious two-legged beast in front of it.
Saliva flowed from its huge, half-meter-long fanged mouth onto the ground, and it opened its mouth wide and swallowed.
The corpse on the ground was swallowed into its stomach in one gulp, and an expression of enjoyment appeared on its massive face.
Afterwards, it walked in front of the injured female lion.
"Roar... Well done... Two-legged beast... Where did you find it..."
Also being a "D-" grade beast, the Male Lion had also awakened the same skill as Ye Yang: Telepathy.
Moreover, as a pride that had lived together for a long time, communication between them was even easier.
The female lion lying on the ground opened its mouth and roared a few times.
Golden Lion King's massive pupils brightened!
He understood the meaning in the female lion's roar; it turned out that many two-legged beasts had been discovered in this forest!
This was simply great!
Previously, after he became stronger by consuming two-legged beasts, his first priority was to lead the pride to search for traces of two-legged beasts in the forest.
For this, he had even specially used Telepathic Sensing to intimidate many powerful creatures, making them submit to him and help search for two-legged beasts together.
Later, he gained nothing, but was surprised to discover that no animals dared to approach a certain mountain forest.
He instinctively knew that there was a powerful creature in that mountain forest.
Being able to make creatures as strong as a female lion afraid to approach, it was clear that the opponent's strength was about the same as his, so he did not choose to search in that direction.
He licked his tongue and gazed into the distance.
If he consumed that group of two-legged beasts, he would definitely be able to become stronger again!
By then, the powerful monster in that dense forest in the distance would become his prey...
He knew... consuming and eating powerful creatures provided much greater benefits than two-legged beasts...
