12: Chapter 12: Huge Upgrade! Total Annihilation

"Ding, your level has upgraded to E-."

After consuming all dozen or so fruits on the tree, Ye Yang heard the system's notification sound twice more.

At the same time, it felt like a raging fire was burning within his body!

His blood boiled, and his feathers shed and regrew continuously.

Feathers that were longer, brighter, and grayer than before sprouted, covering Ye Yang's expanding body.

The changes to his head were also immense; his beak had become longer and narrower, like the large beak of an eagle, hard and powerful!

His sharp eyes were filled with cold severity, possessing the distinct look of an eagle's gaze, and his body carried the natural oppressive aura of a bird of prey.

Ye Yang's body was now incomparable to what it had been before; his wingspan was a full meter long!

If not for the conspicuous red feather on his forehead, no one would have been able to tell that he was the same Sparrow from before.

"The change in body size is so huge... How do I feel like I've basically turned into a large eagle after this evolution and upgrade!"

Although there was no mirror, Ye Yang could clearly feel the difference based on his intuition.

Before, the center of his body was three-dimensional—simply put, like a vertical rectangle—but now it was like a horizontal rectangle; his body had expanded laterally!

"A one-meter wingspan..."

"And then there is the immense power!"

Ye Yang lowered his head to look at his pair of golden talons; the sharpness radiating from them at this moment gave even him a sense of trepidation!

They were short and thick, full of a sense of power!

"Snap!"

He exerted force suddenly!

The branch, over ten centimeters thick, that his talons were gripping snapped into two pieces instantly!

"What powerful explosive force!"

"I wonder how strong my power is now!"

Subsequently, his sharp gaze turned to the wolf pack and the large tiger on the ground; now, he had the confidence to deal with them!

"Let you all be the ones to test out my surging power!"

The ground was currently a scene of crimson, with several shattered corpses of large gray wolves lying about; these wolves had all died from having their necks bitten through by the Tiger King.

Others had their bellies torn open by tiger claws, with their intestines spilling out all over the ground, leaving them gasping their last breaths.

The Tiger King's injuries were also not light; its black and yellow patterned fur was stained bright red from the bites of the large gray wolves, and in several places, the wounds were deep enough to see bone.

"Hoo..."

By now, both sides had been fighting for over half an hour, and the wolf pack and the tiger tacitly pulled back to take a short rest.

The Wolf King led the scarred wolf pack, gasping for breath on the spot, its fierce, wild eyes fixed on the Tiger King not far away, looking for an opportunity for the next wave of attacks.

The Tiger King stood motionless on the spot, licking the bits of flesh from its claws, its domineering and vicious gaze locked directly onto the Wolf King opposite it.

The appearance of spiritual energy had led to an increase in the intelligence of some animals, and clearly, the Wolf King and this Tiger King were representatives of this.

They glared fiercely at each other; although both sides were severely injured, there was not a hint of cowardice, because they knew that today, one side was destined to die here and become the other's food!

Neither of them could give up on those enticing red fruits!

The Wolf King and the Tiger King's fierce gazes collided, and they both looked up at the large tree not far away at the same time.

Suddenly, their large, blood-stained, fierce faces were filled with astonishment and disbelief!

The red fruits on that large tree had actually disappeared?!!!

"Roar!!!"

A tiger roar of extreme fury erupted!

An aura like a volcanic eruption radiated from the Tiger King!

How could this be possible?!

His scent was all around; how could any animal dare to approach this place!

To be able to steal those red fruits right under his nose?!

Just at this moment...

Whoosh!!!

A sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from above, and a gray figure gradually magnified in the tiger's yellow pupils.

The Tiger King's whole body went cold, and it immediately prepared to dodge, but that gray figure was faster!

In the blink of an eye, it arrived above the Tiger King!

"Snap!"

Accompanied by a crisp cracking sound, the Tiger King's yellowish-brown pupils instantly lost focus, its body uncontrollably slammed heavily onto the ground, and only astonishment and overwhelming terror remained in its pupils.

Watching the Tiger King, which had been fighting their pack, die instantly, the Wolf King couldn't control its trembling; its fierce wolf eyes looked at the large gray eagle standing on the head of the Tiger King's corpse.

Perhaps it was just an illusion, but it always felt that the aura on this large gray eagle was very familiar, seemingly very similar to the Sparrow from before...

However, it was now even more terrified and uneasy!

This large eagle was actually able to kill, in one strike, the giant tiger that had been fighting their pack and was far larger than it!

Then it, too, would be killed by this large eagle!

"Awooo!!!"

It let out a howl of retreat!

Taking the lead, it was the first to run toward the back!

The wolf pack, already terrified out of their wits by the large gray eagle, immediately turned around and leaped, following the Wolf King as they fled toward the back!

Ye Yang lifted his head, his cold, sharp eagle eyes indifferently scanning the fleeing wolf pack, his black-gold beak still stained with the fragments of the Tiger King's skull.

"Can you escape?"

"Skree!"

A high-pitched cry that resounded through the forest!

He flapped his wings, which were over half a meter long, and dove to slaughter the fleeing wolf pack!

Originally, the surrounding environment was a dense forest, which was not suitable for his aerial hunting, but this wolf pack was severely injured, which greatly slowed their speed.

There is a saying about wolves: iron head, tofu waist; however, the hardest part of a wolf, its skull, was as fragile as tofu foam under Ye Yang's beak.

It was almost one strike per beak, and one large gray wolf after another fell to the ground.

"Awooo!!!"

Finally, after the Wolf King's desperate, suicidal counterattack failed, and it let out an unwilling howl, this pack of over twenty large gray wolves was finally wiped out.

"Ding, the host has won the battle; your Supreme Aura Cells feel invigorated, infection efficiency has increased, and you have successfully infected 100 surrounding normal cells!"

"Ding, the host has won the battle; your Basic Breathing Technique feels proud, and its operating efficiency will be doubled for 72 hours!"

Ye Yang felt joy in his heart, "I didn't expect there to be such benefits after the battle!"

"Gurgle, gurgle..."

A feeling of hunger came from his stomach, and then he looked at the corpses on the ground; there was no shortage of food here.

After tearing open the Tiger King's belly and specifically eating the most nutritious internal organs, he was full.

"The Basic Breathing Technique's operating efficiency will be doubled for three days; I must find a good place!"

Subsequently, he glanced at the nearby jungle and flapped his wings, flying up toward the sky.

After he left, the jungle rustled, and a mother wolf jumped out along with a few wolf pups.

"Awooo..."

She let out a mournful, low howl toward the wolf pack and slowly walked into the distance with the wolf pups.

From now on, she would have to rely on herself to raise these three wolf pups in the natural world...

Not long after, a group of humans gradually followed the tracks of the wolf pack and arrived here...
