78: Chapter 78 Global Animal Mutations...
Meanwhile, humans were also taking action.
After the leadership of Jianghai City realized the danger of the pride, they specially mobilized a combat unit equipped with heavy firepower to collect specimens of the lions' carcasses in the forest and hunt down the remaining lions.
Originally, the pride had six lionesses and one Male Lion, but now only two lionesses remained; the rest were dead.
This was because they had monitored through satellites that only the Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle existed on Divine Phoenix Mountain, and there were no traces of the Male Lion moving anywhere else in the forest.
Thus, it was speculated that the Male Lion had already been eliminated by the Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle.
Undeniably, once the Great Xia Kingdom took it seriously, one of the two lionesses was hunted down while the other was captured alive.
Great Xia Kingdom's zoology experts also received orders and arrived in Jianghai City early on.
Three days later.
After extensive research by zoology experts, the physical data of the lioness was thoroughly analyzed.
"This pride did indeed undergo mutation and evolution because they fed on us humans..."
"Strange... the determining factors for the gigantism of a biological body are related to a series of factors such as environment, food, and the ecological chain. Moreover, when gigantism reaches a critical point, it should stop..."
"Yes, the Theory of Evolution proposed by Mr. Darwin, the Father of Evolution, is undoubtedly correct. However, since spiritual energy appeared in Blue Star's air two months ago—what foreign countries call the 'evolution factor'—the animals of Blue Star have become somewhat unusual..."
"Animals all over the globe are undergoing strange and unknown changes. They are becoming smarter, their bodies are growing larger, and a prehistoric creature that has been extinct for ten thousand years has even appeared in the outskirts of our Jianghai City!"
"It's simply incredible!"
"Back to the topic, the data specimens of the lioness show no difference from other animal bodies. This means that all animals on Blue Star can mutate and evolve by devouring us humans!"
"Don't be too shocked; this is actually a normal situation that could have been deduced long ago."
"Think about it. What makes us humans special is that our bodies contain spiritual energy far exceeding that of other creatures. When you think about it this way, doesn't the reason for the pride's mutation and evolution become clear?"
"This also corroborates that spiritual energy is the fundamental reason for animal mutation and evolution."
"I feel like this is no small matter. We need to quickly discuss and reach a conclusion..."
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
...
Russia, in a luxurious villa.
Jobs sat on a soft leather sofa, his eyes fixed on the seventy-plus-inch LCD TV hanging high on the wall.
"According to reports from relevant experts, the concentration of the evolution factor that appeared in Blue Star's air more than two months ago is gradually increasing. Some citizens are beginning to worry about the harm the evolution factor might cause to the human body. Please do not worry..."
"Experts are already working hard to study the evolution factor. Although its material properties have not yet been analyzed, it has been confirmed that the evolution factor will not cause damage to our bodies!"
"Next, an emergency notice: there have been many incidents of wild beasts attacking humans across the country recently. We hope citizens will be careful of ferocious beasts and prohibit wild hunting activities..."
"Ding..."
With a soft sound, the screen went dark.
Jobs put down the remote control, then picked up a bottle of vodka from the small table and took a large gulp.
"Refreshing..."
He let out a boozy burp.
"Tsk... looks like the hunting trip with those guys next week has to be canceled. But be careful of wild beasts? Wild beasts should be careful of me, right!?"
"Hahaha... Suka Blyat!"
Laughing as he drank, his eyes turned toward the massive figure lying on its side on the floor next to the sofa.
Interlocking black and white stripes, a snow-white belly—even lying there motionless, the aura it radiated was enough to make an ordinary person's legs go weak.
This was an adult tiger!
And it was an Amur Tiger, a species with many nicknames: Siberian Tiger, Siberian Tiger... this was a tiger king!
In Russia, as long as one obtains local official consent, one can keep ferocious beasts like tigers, Brown Bears, and crocodiles as pets.
Jobs, however, was not affected by the aura of the nearby Siberian Tiger. Watching the Siberian Tiger's slumbering posture, he joked.
"Chery, you need to lose some weight lately. Look at all that fat you've grown..."
He stood up, walked to the Siberian Tiger, and reached out to touch its snow-white, furry belly.
"Huh? It's actually so hard and thick. It's not fat..."
"Strange... Chery has clearly been doing nothing but eating and sleeping lately, without any exercise... How did he grow a body full of muscle instead?"
Disturbed by his movements, the Siberian Tiger opened its sleepy, large eyes and saw the two-legged beasts who raised him. It stuck out its tongue and affectionately licked Jobs' face.
Hmm?
Suddenly, a light flickered in the large tiger's brown pupils. Why was he so delicious?
I really want to take a bite... but we have a good relationship...
Jobs didn't notice this abnormality at all and continued to examine his pet's condition with confusion.
"Chery's size has exploded again recently. He must be four meters long by now..."
Along with the explosion in size came a gluttonous appetite. The amount of meat consumed every day made even a wealthy man like him, with mines at home, feel a bit of a sting in his wallet.
But then he realized something, and his eyes lit up!
"If Chery's size keeps growing like this, he will definitely become the strongest tiger king in history!"
"Aren't there rumors online that a Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle appeared over in Great Xia?! If my pet tiger king can take down that White-Feathered Giant Eagle when the time comes, that would be simply fantastic!"
"Ura!"
Just then, Jobs' glowing eyes met the green-glowing eyes of the large tiger, Chery.
A look of confusion crossed his face. "Chery, what's wrong with you? You're not sick, are you?"
He reached out, wanting to stroke Chery's head...
Crunch!
A crisp sound rang out!
"Ahhh!!!"
Jobs actually screamed!
His right arm had already been severed. Gushing red blood sprayed everywhere, staining and soaking the floor.
In front of him, the large tiger's jaws worked up and down, its face full of enjoyment as if it were savoring some delicacy...
Enduring the pain that nearly made him faint, Jobs kept backing away, blood dripping...
Looking at the tiger he had raised since it was a cub and with whom he had a deep bond, his face was full of horror and disbelief!
He still couldn't believe the tiger would bite off his hand without any warning!
Could this be a nightmare?!
"That's right! This must be a nightmare!"
"Suka Blyat!"
"Growl..."
A low growl interrupted his chaotic thoughts.
After confirming that the delicious food was this two-legged beasts, the wildness latent deep within the tiger's body was instantly awakened, along with the inner desire to evolve and become powerful.
"Roar!"
Letting out a roar, it pounced on Jobs...
...
Not only were wild beasts in nature mutating, but even pets were being affected.
The incident involving Jobs was gradually occurring across the entire Blue Star...
For a time, countless humans were filled with panic and unease...
