86: Chapter 86 Collecting the Fear of Beasts
"Woof, woof, woof!!!"
Ye Yang, who was basking in the sunlight on Divine Phoenix Mountain, heard the commotion in the distance and opened his eyes.
He stood up and moved his body, looking into the distance. A few kilometers away, a black figure was sprinting through the forest, with a pack of large gray wolves chasing relentlessly behind him.
"That's Black Husky... Is he being chased by a pack of gray wolves?"
A husky being hunted by a pack of wild wolves was a somewhat dramatic scene, making Ye Yang feel a bit strange.
Seeing that the husky was about to be caught by the wolf pack, Ye Yang decided to intervene. After all, this dog had some connection to him.
A golden light suddenly shot out from his golden pupils. The golden light moved extremely fast, instantly and accurately enveloping the area where the wolf pack was a few kilometers away.
Snap!
The fleeing wolf pack suddenly felt an immense wave of fear. Before they could react, they tumbled to the ground with a series of thuds.
They lay prostrate on the ground, trembling all over and letting out fearful whimpers, and the wolf king of the pack was no exception.
The blood in their bodies seemed to have frozen, and their hearts felt as if they were being squeezed hard by a pair of giant hands!
Twenty meters ahead of the wolf pack, Black Husky was panting heavily, his tongue lolling out as he constantly exhaled heat.
Hearing the noise, he turned around and saw the wolf pack lying on the ground trembling. He was somewhat surprised, his dog face filled with confusion.
Are these guys actually afraid of me?!
...
At the summit of Divine Phoenix Mountain, Ye Yang withdrew his gaze.
He didn't possess any supernatural powers naturally; he had simply integrated the effect of his Intimidation talent into his gaze, which happened to have a range of several kilometers.
Ordinary creatures were completely unable to resist his intimidating gaze. That pack of wolves didn't even have an 'E-' evolution level; in front of him, they were purely ant-level existences.
"Prompt: Your talent Intimidation has successfully made the wolf pack submit in fear. The talent Intimidation feels pleased, and its proficiency has increased!"
"Hmm?"
Ye Yang was stunned. "It turns out that the fear of animals can also enhance the effect of the Intimidation talent..."
He had originally thought that only the fear of humans could increase it... This was the first time he realized that animal fear was useful to him.
"It seems the Intimidation talent is a good child who isn't a picky eater. As long as it's the fearful emotion of a living creature, it can strengthen itself..."
His golden pupils sparkled brightly, like stars in the night.
The Intimidation talent was merely the application of his own aura; it was useless when fighting creatures of the same level. However, when facing creatures with a lower evolution level than his own, the effect of the Intimidation talent was extremely useful.
Within his intimidating aura, weak creatures had no power to resist. Any creature weaker than him would inevitably be affected, impacting their performance or even causing them to lose their combat capability entirely.
It sounded somewhat useless—ineffective against powerful beings but a heavy blow to the weak.
But one must realize that being collectively besieged by a swarm of weak creatures is also a significant crisis.
The saying 'many ants can bite an elephant to death' is not false...
Even if Ye Yang was a great bird of the sky, he had to consider this...
If his Intimidation talent could be upgraded to a terrifying degree, he could unleash his aura and form a vacuum domain for dozens of miles around—how cool would that be!
Over the next few days.
Ye Yang also discovered a characteristic: when his aura was quietly released, the fear generated by the wild creatures in his territory would increase the proficiency of his Intimidation talent.
This instantly sparked a thought in his mind. If the creatures in his territory could feel fear toward him every day, his talent skill level would increase in no time.
Since he had nothing else to do anyway, Ye Yang personally flew over the surrounding hundreds of miles of forest.
He specifically selected some powerful and intelligent creatures and gathered them within a hundred-mile radius of the mountains and forests around Divine Phoenix Mountain.
Having witnessed Ye Yang's power, these creatures were very cooperative.
"Prompt: Tens of thousands of wild beasts around you have developed a sense of fear toward you. Your talent Intimidation feels invigorated, and its proficiency has increased..."
Moreover, each creature could provide experience for his Intimidation talent more than once; it was repeatable.
This made him very happy. He could already feel that the Intimidation talent was not far from leveling up...
...
While Ye Yang was making moves to gather the myriad beasts in the forest, the authorities of Jianghai City also learned about what was happening in the mountains through high-altitude monitoring.
Seeing that the Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle, which had been staying on Divine Phoenix Mountain on the outskirts of Jianghai City, had suddenly taken action, all the leaders of Jianghai City panicked!
"What is the Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle doing... It has actually gathered the wild beasts from hundreds of miles of forest! Does it intend to launch a beast tide?!"
"It's uncertain at the moment... These past few days, the Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle has only subdued these beasts and hasn't made any other moves..."
"I propose we mobilize the surrounding military operations bases to eliminate this prehistoric creature together!"
"That's impossible! Jianghai City is only a hundred miles away from Divine Phoenix Mountain. For a White-Feathered Great Eagle that likely possesses supersonic speed, that is far too close!"
"Capturing a supersonic creature would cost us too high a price... We cannot take this measure at the moment!"
"Then what should we do? We can't just let a monster stay around our Jianghai City like a ticking time bomb!"
"Only a monster can defeat a monster!"
"Oh... Are you referring to that Winged Saber-toothed Tiger?"
"Exactly. I believe that by relying on that monster, we can definitely kill or drive away the White-Feathered Great Eagle!"
"Hmm... We can indeed give it a try..."
...
Ye Yang didn't know that his minor actions had caused such a great panic after being discovered by humans.
Of course, even if he did know, he certainly wouldn't care.
Time drifted by like this for half a month.
"Prompt: The Supreme Aura Cells in your body have sensed the energy in the sunlight. They have awakened from their slumber and begun to operate..."
"Prompt: The accumulated number of Supreme Aura Cells in your body has reached ten thousand, meeting the conditions for bloodline evolution... Evolution is beginning..."
"Prompt: The Basic Breathing Technique in your body..."
"Prompt: The skill Telepathic Sensing in your body..."
"Prompt: The talent Intimidation in your body..."
Walking out of the cave, Ye Yang's pair of brilliant golden eagle eyes were full of shock. After two months, his Supreme Aura Cells had finally reached a qualitative change again!
Before he could even react, his body felt as if it were being torn apart—the pain was excruciating!
"Skreeeee!!!"
A painful and high-pitched cry rang out. The spiritual mist at the mountain peak dispersed, and the spirit tree and white jade bamboo began to sway...
The massive commotion did not stop, spreading out into the distance.
The clouds were scattered, and the invisible, terrifying pressure contained within the sound waves caused the creatures within dozens of miles to give up resistance and prostrate themselves on the ground, their eyes unanimously looking toward the distant mountain in fear.
They knew that this terrifying cry had been emitted by that Giant White Bird...
