75: Chapter 75 The Lion's Scheme! The Lion Dies
At this very moment.
The screen suddenly dimmed. The millions of people in Jianghai City, having lost their vision, were utterly bewildered. They knew that the brilliant golden light, which possessed a magical power to influence the human brain, was emitted by the Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle.
But they didn't know why the Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle, which had already departed, would suddenly return!
And as soon as it appeared, it attacked the tiger helicopter.
Just what did the Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle want to do...
This left the millions of people feeling extremely confused, but having lost their vision, they were destined not to know what was currently happening on the outskirts of Jianghai City.
...
On the outskirts of Jianghai City, among the vast mountain ranges.
Plumes of black smoke appeared in the azure sky. On the ground, the fire swept wildly toward the periphery, but when it reached a critical threshold, the forest fire actually stopped in its tracks and ceased expanding.
Nature's own ecological protection system had activated.
Not far away, on a patch of scorched earth emitting black smoke.
A massive white eagle looked down at the large, pitch-black Male Lion on the ground, whose aura was gradually weakening.
The Male Lion had lost all its fur, making it look similar to a lioness. Its body was charred black, appearing somewhat comical.
The reason Ye Yang chose to act now was simple: he needed the Male Lion on the ground to stay alive and "intact"!
As a creature of a higher level than himself, he wanted to know the reason why this Male Lion had evolved and leveled up so quickly...
As for the reason for destroying that heavily armed helicopter, it was even more straightforward. The firepower of this gunship was too formidable; the explosion from the helicopter had nearly severed the mountainside of a distant peak.
If the gunship were to launch a sneak attack while he was fighting the Male Lion on the ground, it would truly be a bit dangerous.
At the same time, the Male Lion on the ground, its body emitting white smoke and its surface pitch-black, was stunned when it saw the "strange giant bird" of the two-legged beasts in the sky being destroyed by the Giant White Bird.
Could this Giant White Bird be here to save me?
Immediately after, a sense of immense crisis descended from the sky!
Looking up, a hurricane swirled as the Giant White Bird in the sky raised its sharp claws and pounced toward him!
His battle instincts made him raise his front paws, but the injuries inside his body were too severe. He stumbled and collapsed to the ground the moment he moved.
Whoosh!
Ye Yang's pair of jade-white sharp claws, over a meter long, stomped fiercely onto the Male Lion's back, instantly creating a wound more than half a meter wide.
Feeling the incredible temperature coming from the sharp claws.
He couldn't help but marvel, "This Male Lion's constitution is so powerful..."
Although he didn't know how powerful the missile fired by the gunship was, he knew that the center of the explosive fire wave would generate temperatures in the tens of millions!
Even though the temperature of the shockwave dissipated toward the earth, the destructive power of the explosion endured by the Male Lion's body was still astounding. Regardless, Ye Yang wasn't confident he could withstand that missile right now.
However, that missile couldn't lock onto him either, given his supersonic flight speed!
Now, looking at the Male Lion helplessly prostrate on the charred earth, with scalding hot blood constantly gushing from its mouth, Ye Yang's golden pupils stared directly into its pair of blood-colored eyes.
"Gu... Tell me... the secret of your rapid growth in power..."
The Male Lion pinned to the ground by Ye Yang struggled with all its might to get up, but its injuries were too severe, completely affecting its normal bodily functions. Its body was like a massive old machine, its skeletal components emitting "creaking" sounds, looking as if it might fall apart at any moment.
"Roar..."
Hearing the voice in its mind, the Male Lion's massive face showed an expression of shock and confusion!
"Roar... You giant bird... can actually speak too..."
Its huge red eyes were full of surprise; it had thought it was the only one capable of communicating with other creatures.
Ye Yang didn't care what the Male Lion under his white claws was thinking.
Applying a bit of pressure, his sharp claws, with their incredible sharpness, instantly tore through the Male Lion's skin and flesh.
Pfft!
Scalding blood welled up from the Male Lion's back...
"Roar..."
The Male Lion let out a roar of pain.
A hint of fear reappeared in its majestic eyes, a fear that reminded it of the time it was controlled by the two-legged beasts.
The Male Lion was not a wild lion from the savanna; it was a Male Lion raised in a circus since it was young, lacking a strong wild nature and a lofty psyche.
So, upon confirming that the Giant White Bird pinning it down could take its life, it immediately caved!
"Roar..."
A mental ripple entered Ye Yang's mind.
After a while, Ye Yang understood the secret of this Male Lion's rapid evolution and leveling.
It was actually devouring two-legged beasts!
The two-legged beasts the Male Lion spoke of were humans!
"Humans can make a Male Lion evolve rapidly... Why is that?!"
He remembered that his subordinate, the Big Brown Bear, had consumed human bodies before, but he hadn't noticed any strange changes in the Big Brown Bear. The benefits gained from devouring humans were far less than those from devouring large wild animals.
That was because wild animals not only had a massive amount of flesh and rich nutrition, but their bodies also contained a small amount of spiritual energy.
Although current beasts couldn't actively absorb the increasingly dense spiritual energy in the air like Ye Yang could, they still stored some spiritual energy in their bodies through breathing.
"Could it be that human bodies store a lot of spiritual energy?!"
On the scorched ground, the Male Lion, pinned down by Ye Yang's claws and unable to move, noticed the golden pupils of the Giant White Bird above it flashing with doubt.
"Roar... Everything I said is true... The flesh of two-legged beasts is delicious... If you don't believe me, try it..."
The roar was very frantic.
Ye Yang sneered inwardly, his golden pupils looking down at the frantic Male Lion beneath him.
Even though the Male Lion under his claws looked frantic, Ye Yang still noticed the cunning deep within its blood-colored eyes.
After all, he possessed human intelligence. This Male Lion's IQ was at most that of a teenager, and it was inexperienced and didn't know how to hide its intentions.
It wasn't hard to understand the Male Lion's thoughts at this moment.
The Male Lion urging him to eat humans wasn't just out of begging for mercy or fear of death; having seen the power of the human helicopter in the sky, it wanted Ye Yang to provoke humans and meet his end.
His golden pupils gradually grew cold...
The Male Lion beneath him felt that bone-chilling killing intent. For a moment, its scalding body seemed unable to feel any heat, and it trembled all over.
It hurriedly roared at Ye Yang.
"Roar... Roar... Let me go... I can submit..."
Swish!!!
What answered it was a violent sound of air being torn!
In its vision, a white sharp claw rapidly enlarged!
"Roar... No..."
Crack!
The crisp sound of something shattering rang out, the loud noise quickly spreading to the surroundings.
The Male Lion's body stopped moving. There was a massive hole right in the center of its enormous head...
