138: Chapter 138 A Strange Figure in the Dark! Internet-Addicted Young Fox

The forest on the outskirts of Jianghai City borders the vast Qinling Mountain Range.

The Qinling Mountain Range is known as the dragon vein of the Great Xia Kingdom. It runs through the north and south of the Great Xia Kingdom and covers a vast area, with many places that humans have never set foot in, and the number of wild beasts it contains is beyond anyone's ability to count.

Even back when the Great Xia Kingdom was still an ancient feudal state, many strange and supernatural legends emerged from the Qinling Mountains.

Although it is hard to tell for sure, there must be a great number of wild beasts living in the Qinling Mountains. Moreover, against the backdrop of the spiritual energy resurgence, heaven knows what terrifying and horrific things might appear deep within the Qinling Mountains.

Ye Yang's golden pupils narrowed into thin slits as he gazed at the mountain forest extending from the distant Qinling Mountains.

An intuition in his heart told him something: a faint, dangerous feeling was emanating from the Qinling Mountains.

"There might really be some extraordinary unknown creature in the Qinling Mountains..."

He silently shook his head.

"Forget it. Anyway, this bird won't be going in that direction to explore..."

Ye Yang was perfectly capable of controlling his inner curiosity because he knew the saying that curiosity killed the cat.

He clearly had the chance to reach the end of the evolutionary path, so there was no need to take risks now.

Later, once he possessed infinite power, any desire could be fulfilled.

...

What Ye Yang did not know was that, in a lush dense forest hundreds of miles away from Divine Phoenix Mountain,

a jet-black behemoth with a profound aura had appeared. The direction this creature came from was precisely the Qinling Mountains!

The surrounding dense forest was crushed by the creature's massive size, and the nearby forest displayed signs of withering and corrosion.

The jet-black behemoth's dark scales seemed capable of absorbing light; when the morning sun shone upon them, one could not clearly see the specific figure of this creature hiding in the dense forest.

One could only see a pair of pupils, vertical like a demon's, staring straight into the distance.

Then, a scarlet tongue flicked out, and a fierce craving emerged in its pupils!

In that direction, it felt a fatal attraction!

This was something it had never felt when consuming other creatures; even every part of its body was trembling with excitement!

Its evolutionary instinct told it that if it consumed that thing, it would be reborn and gain immense benefits!

However, the behemoth did not act immediately and chose to lie in wait on the spot...

Because it knew there must be a powerful lord in this area, otherwise the wild beasts in this region would be too harmonious...

Most importantly, the timing for that thing which held such a fatal attraction for it was not yet ripe; now was not the time...

It needed to wait for a while...

Its profound aura gradually receded, hiding in the dense forest. No one could discover that there was a dangerous, man-eating, jet-black behemoth in this dense forest.

It was like a seasoned hunter hiding in a concealed corner, constantly waiting for the best opportunity to hunt its prey...

...

Ye Yang was completely unaware that a dangerous, unknown creature had appeared on the edge of his hundreds-of-miles-wide forest territory.

The detection range of his Telepathic Sensing skill was only ten kilometers, and even with his excellent eagle-eye vision, it was only about a hundred miles.

The next day.

On the mountaintop, the white mist of spiritual energy was drawn in, rapidly gathering and swirling around a huge golden bird.

A massive amount of spiritual energy entered his body from his skin, making Ye Yang feel warm and very comfortable.

"Notification: The Supreme Aura Cells within your body have sensed the energy in the sunlight... Starting operation..."

"Notification: Your Telepathic Sensing skill has gained proficiency after a night of rest!"

"Notification: Your Intimidation talent has gained proficiency after sensing the fear of the myriad beasts!"

"Notification: After being reinforced by the Lightning Energy within your body, your physical fitness has improved to a certain extent!"

The system's notification sounds continued to ring in his mind, but unlike before, the proficiency level of the Lightning Breathing Technique had already reached perfection, so it would no longer increase in proficiency.

"What should I do today..."

Ye Yang usually stayed on the mountaintop with nothing to do. He was not like other wild beasts in the wilderness that were busy, needing to diligently practice breathing techniques to absorb spiritual energy.

The Lightning Breathing Technique within his own body was running at all times, and its efficiency was unknown how many times higher than that of other creatures.

Not to mention humans who had just entered the spiritual energy cultivation system during the promotion of the spiritual energy era.

Ye Yang had also used his phone to look up specific information on the "Spirit Energy Breathing Technique" and "Body Tempering Gong" developed by the Great Xia Kingdom.

Their efficiency was not much different from the Basic Breathing Technique of wild beasts. If the proficiency level of a wild beast's Basic Breathing Technique increased by a level or two, the average human's efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy would be far inferior.

Let alone compared to the perfect-level Lightning Breathing Technique that Ye Yang had evolved from the Basic Breathing Technique.

"Ding ding ding..."

"Chirp chirp! Big Brother, the phone is out of power again! Quickly charge it for me!"

The Nine-tailed Little White Fox swayed her nine fluffy tails behind her and came before Ye Yang, her two pink little paws clutching the phone that needed charging.

Moreover, Ye Yang noticed that the eye sockets of Little White Fox Ah Li were a bit dark.

"Has Ah Li been playing on the phone all night?!"

Thinking this, a wisp of golden Lightning Energy overflowed from his golden wings and moved toward the phone's charging port...

Little White Fox Ah Li also very cooperatively placed the phone in her arms on the ground and pulled back to keep a distance.

Her pair of pink eyes blinked as she stared at the appearing golden energy.

Then, her cute, plush-doll-like face looked at Ye Yang with full admiration.

A few minutes later, with the inflow of Ye Yang's golden Lightning Energy, the phone screen brightened up again.

"Chirp chirp! Big Brother is amazing!"

After Little White Fox Ah Li chirped twice, she pounced on the phone again, and her pink little paws began to wave across the phone screen once more.

She looked exactly like an internet-addicted youth—no, an internet-addicted young girl, since Little White Fox Ah Li was female.

Ye Yang was also somewhat interested in human phones; after all, phones were a great tool for killing time.

His golden pupils looked down at the phone screen that Little White Fox Ah Li was tirelessly sliding across.

He couldn't help but feel puzzled and asked aloud.

"Ah Li, you don't understand human writing, so why are you so focused on this phone?"

"Chirp chirp! It's boring! Big Brown Bear Xiong Da and the others are either eating or sleeping... And Big Brother, you won't let me leave the forest..."

Ye Yang nodded, and watching Little White Fox Ah Li playing with the phone, he suddenly thought of something.

"How about finding something to do?"

"Teaching the Little White Fox to recognize words?"

Then, seeing the Little White Fox constantly surfing the internet and browsing various human videos,

he muttered in his heart.

"Spending so much data, as long as the original owner of the phone in Jianghai City isn't a blockhead or completely oblivious, they should be able to notice, right?"
