134: Chapter 134 Jiangli's Granary Falls! Barbecue! (3/3)

Inside the Jianghai City conference room.

Many Jianghai City leaders saw the fear on Yu Weiyue's face as she gave a definitive answer to their topic of discussion.

Someone spoke up immediately.

"My goodness... I suddenly feel like this world is quite surreal. I haven't even wrapped my head around the promotion of the spirit energy system yet, and now a Nine-Tailed Fox that only exists in myths has appeared out of nowhere!"

"Sigh... yeah, that's a Nine-Tailed Fox! Looking at the video's performance, it really can make people lose consciousness... and it's not a simple loss of consciousness, because even after Xiao Yu lost consciousness, her figure could still stand. This means the Nine-Tailed Fox possesses mysterious abilities!"

"More importantly! From the video, we can see that the relationship between this Nine-Tailed Fox and the ancient giant bird is unusual, one could even describe it as dependency..."

"Can anyone tell me where that ancient giant bird found a Nine-Tailed Fox!"

"A Nine-Tailed Fox... that's a good subject for scientific research. I suggest we capture it alive. I believe we can obtain a lot of precious data from this Nine-Tailed Fox to help our Great Xia Kingdom promote spirit energy..."

"Heh, if you want to catch it, go ahead. Those of us in the military won't go to Divine Phoenix Mountain to throw our lives away for nothing!"

The conference room gradually became noisy.

"Silence!"

As Mayor Lin's words fell, the conference room seemed to enter a vacuum, becoming instantly silent as if a pin drop could be heard...

Everyone looked at Mayor Lin with a hint of fear and awe.

Currently, the Great Xia Kingdom has implemented a city-level sovereignty policy nationwide. Every city possesses the highest level of autonomy and can even draft its own city laws.

Thus, the position of the city's top leader, the Mayor, carried great weight.

While not quite reaching the status of an absolute monarch from ancient times, they were still major figures who could decide the fate of a city.

Mayor Lin looked at everyone in the room with a solemn gaze. "Don't lose your composure over the Nine-Tailed Fox matter. I hope everyone understands that our primary task right now is to implement the national policy decided by the Great Xia Supreme Council and quickly promote the spirit energy cultivation system."

He then added, "As for the situation occurring on the outskirts of Jianghai City... our current worrying is useless."

Mayor Lin looked at Yu Weiyue, who had remained silent, and inquired.

"After coming into close contact with the ancient giant bird, what did you discover?"

A video was just a video; it was far less detailed than information obtained from close contact.

Moreover, Yu Weiyue was a meticulous person who excelled at observation. He believed she must have noticed more details.

Yu Weiyue replied.

"Reporting to Mayor Lin, I did indeed make some discoveries..."

"The pressure brought by that ancient giant bird is very strong... the temperature at the summit of Divine Phoenix Mountain is significantly higher than the surrounding area..."

"The feeling the ancient giant bird gave me was not that of a wild beast full of savagery, but more like a highly intelligent creature..."

Her willow-leaf brows furrowed as she thought for a few seconds. "More importantly... I noticed that the concentration of spirit energy at the summit of Divine Phoenix Mountain is extremely high. I could almost feel that when practicing the Spirit Energy Breathing Technique there, my body felt as if it were soaking in a hot spring."

"Oh?"

Mayor Lin replayed the projected video. Only then did everyone notice that the environment at the summit was filled with a layer of thick white mist.

"This is white mist formed by spirit energy concentrated to the extreme!"

"No wonder that ancient creature is evolving so rapidly; the spirit energy at the summit of Divine Phoenix Mountain is actually this dense!"

"I suggest we mobilize the military to seize Divine Phoenix Mountain! Even if we can't kill the ancient monster, we can't let it continue staying at the summit. If this continues, the monster might evolve again before long!"

"Heh... same thing as before, whoever has the ability can go to the outskirts of Jianghai City. Don't look to our military!"

"Dammit! As soldiers, you're actually afraid of a beast?! You're really shaming us Great Xia soldiers!"

"Heh!"

"Enough, stop arguing." Mayor Lin had a bit of a headache. "Why argue every single day? I've said our task now is to promote spirit energy cultivation. As for the ancient creature on Divine Phoenix Mountain, there's no need to worry for now."

He then looked at the white spirit energy mist surrounding the summit of Divine Phoenix Mountain with some envy.

"Spirit energy in the wild is already much denser than in the cities... it seems we need to find an opportunity to seize some wild lands..."

The content of the meeting after that was simple, discussing how to quickly and efficiently promote spirit energy cultivation methods within the city.

Knock, knock, knock!!!

Before long, the group discussing in the conference room was interrupted by urgent knocking.

"Come in!"

Boom!

The door was burst open, and a messenger shouted loudly!

"Mayor Lin, this is bad! The Jiangli Granary has been occupied by monsters!"

"What?!"

Everyone in the conference room stood up! Their faces were filled with shock and disbelief!

The Jiangli Granary held the food supply for all one million people in Jianghai City!

Food is the people's heaven... this was a major matter concerning the lifeblood of Jianghai City!

...

The scene shifted.

Outskirts of Jianghai City, Divine Phoenix Mountain.

It was now afternoon. A massive Big Brown Bear was moving toward the summit of Divine Phoenix Mountain with the carcass of a huge elephant in its mouth.

When Ye Yang saw the carcass of the Asian elephant, his heart stirred.

"I freaking knew I forgot something..."

"That person from Jianghai City who came earlier didn't bring a tribute yet. No, I have to make them make up for it next time!"

Ye Yang didn't stand on ceremony either and approached the massive Asian elephant carcass.

His sharp claws easily tore through the tough skin, and he found the internal organs to feast upon...

Under the envious gaze of the Big Brown Bear, he quickly finished eating.

He stuck out his slender tongue and licked the meat scraps from the corner of his mouth, then gave the Big Brown Bear Xiong Da, whose drool was almost hitting the ground, a look of disdain.

"You guys can split the rest."

"Roar... Thank you, King!"

The impatient Big Brown Bear Xiong Da immediately began to gorge himself, creating a bloody scene.

Ye Yang shook his head. "Remember to clean up after you're done eating..."

His figure flashed as he rushed toward a nearby lake; he wanted to wash off the scent of blood from his body.

For him, he could go half a month without eating as long as he didn't exert too much physical strength, as absorbing spirit energy from the air could largely replenish the energy his body needed.

...

Half an hour later, Ye Yang was in the air.

"Eh?"

Flying to the summit, he saw Monkey King Wukong on the mountainside carefully tearing elephant meat with his strong arms to feed the human cub.

Ye Yang suddenly had an idea.

Looking at the elephant carcass that still had more than half its meat left, he licked his lips. "It's been a long time since I've eaten barbecue!"

A short while later.

A wisp of smoke rose from the mountainside of Divine Phoenix Mountain.

Seeing that Monkey King Wukong had already begun skillfully rotating the meat on a huge wooden rack to roast it, and smelling the gradually thickening aroma of barbecue in the air, Ye Yang nodded with satisfaction.

"How could I be so stupid? I should have thought of doing this a long time ago!"

"Ding... ding... ding..."

A series of mechanical notification sounds rang out, and Ye Yang quickly focused his mind.

"This isn't the system's notification sound... where is it coming from..."

He turned around and saw the little Nine-Tailed Fox, Ali, making strange movements toward a glowing object...
