144: Chapter 144 Beast Tide! (1/3)

Thunder and lightning flashed; rolling dark clouds appeared abruptly without the slightest warning, shrouding hundreds of miles of mountain forest.

The previously beautiful weather suddenly dimmed. The dark clouds, dense with golden thunder, carried a massive sense of pressure, like an apocalyptic catastrophe, making people feel uneasy.

Golden thunder roared. A presence that made one feel as if they were facing the might of heaven caused the beasts in this hundred-mile mountain forest to roar uneasily one after another.

All the beasts in the mountain forest prostrated themselves on the ground, looking up at the cloud-covered sky with fearful eyes, emitting fearful roars...

On the mountainside of Divine Phoenix Mountain.

Big Brown Bear Xiong Da, Giant Panda Xiong Er, Monkey King Wukong, and Little White Fox Ah Li, who was holding a mobile phone with her two little paws to the side, all looked up together at the dense thunder clouds in the sky.

Fear could not help but emerge in their large, intelligent eyes...

From the golden color of the lightning and the familiar aura, they knew this was the commotion caused by their boss...

Although they knew their boss would not hurt them, a powerful sense of fear still welled up in their hearts!

"Waa, waa, waa..."

The infant in Monkey King Wukong's palm suddenly began to cry...

On the other hand, there was not much fear in Little White Fox Ah Li's pink eyes; instead, there was yearning!

"Chirp, chirp... No wonder Big Brother told us today... not to go to the mountain peak... So it turns out Big Brother is about to become even more powerful!"

Seeing the golden thunder and lightning, for some reason, many images appeared in Little White Fox Ah Li's mind...

On the peak of Divine Phoenix Mountain, no one noticed that the spirit tree and the white jade bamboo began to sway without wind, absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy from the air, as well as the energy from the golden thunder in the sky, and growing rapidly...

The parent white jade bamboo was growing frantically, along with several small, dwarf offspring bamboos beside it...

And the green flower buds on the branches and leaves of the spirit tree were expanding and growing larger at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning bright red... In just a few minutes, the buds bloomed, opening into bright, fiery red flowers...

Then these fiery red flowers withered rapidly, bearing green fruits, and these green fruits were growing at an extremely fast speed...

...

The mountain forests around Jianghai City.

"Roar!!!"

A deafening beast roar sounded from a dense forest!

This beast roar was like the spark that detonated a bomb; for a moment, the beasts in the entire mountain forest erupted into wild roars!

The beast roars were like a tide! It made countless weak animals tremble all over...

"Roar..."

Boom, boom, boom!

A large crowd of beasts, like a flowing river, galloped in one direction!

It was as if something was attracting them, making them rush towards it!

This abnormal phenomenon was naturally noticed by the troops responsible for guarding the outskirts of Jianghai City.

"My God! How could this group of beasts form such a massive beast tide?!"

"If this beast tide rushes towards Jianghai City behind us, it will definitely be a disaster!"

"Hurry and notify Jianghai City!"

Just as the reconnaissance unit was anxiously preparing to send evacuation information to the city, they were surprised to find that the direction in which this endless beast tide was charging had actually turned!

Rather than saying it turned, it was more like the direction of this massive beast tide was never Jianghai City behind them in the first place!

This made the reconnaissance team breathe a sigh of relief...

"I'm afraid this is the first time such a large beast tide has happened in the whole country, right?"

"I don't know where the destination of this beast tide is..."

"This direction... it seems to be Divine Phoenix Mountain in the southern suburbs of Jianghai City!"

"What?!"

...

At the same time, the upper echelons inside Jianghai City also received information about the beast tide.

Furthermore, the troops they dispatched to monitor the outskirts of Jianghai City also sent information that the weather there had undergone drastic changes, with dense dark clouds and natural phenomena of thunderstorms appearing within the dark clouds...

More importantly, the thunderstorms in the dark clouds in the sky were golden thunder!

In the conference room, the scene appearing on the screen was exactly the situation of the dark clouds covering the outskirts of Jianghai City; this video was sent by the reconnaissance unit.

When the upper echelons of Jianghai City saw the golden thunder and lightning in the video, they all stood up!

"This is..."

"Last time, after the Ancient Creature giant bird on Divine Phoenix Mountain experienced such a scene, it mutated and evolved to become even more powerful... and defeated the army of our Daxia headquarters!"

"No! The area covered by the thunderous dark clouds this time is even larger!"

Mayor Lin stared at the dark clouds in the video for a long time without speaking. Analyzing the current situation, the Ancient Creature giant bird on Divine Phoenix Mountain was about to mutate again and become even more powerful!

"Mayor, do we need to send our city's army to stop the Ancient Creature's mutation..."

"Yes, this Ancient Creature is already so powerful that even small and medium-sized missiles cannot destroy him. If he mutates and evolves again, who knows how terrifying he will become!"

"Mayor, for the safety of the million people in our Jianghai City, you must send troops!"

The numerous Jianghai City leaders in the conference room wanted, with unprecedented unity, to send troops to suppress the Ancient Creature's mutation and evolution process!

They also possessed this strength. After Daxia nationwide implemented city-level autonomy, the firepower configuration of each city, except for nuclear weapons and some special weapons, had almost all been obtained from the Daxia headquarters.

However, Mayor Lin shook his head and rejected this proposal.

"First of all, we cannot know for sure the process of the Ancient Creature giant bird's mutation. Perhaps before we even take action, he will have already completed his evolution..."

"In addition, we have an agreement with the Ancient Creature. If we break the agreement first and let the Ancient Creature escape... then our Jianghai City will be in too much danger!"

To summarize this reason, there was no 100% certainty of destroying the current Ancient Creature. If the Ancient Creature escaped, then their Jianghai City would definitely suffer heavy losses.

"Sigh, but we cannot pin our hopes on the Ancient Creature. What if the Ancient Creature attacks our Jianghai City after evolving..."

"Sigh..."

Mayor Lin sighed.

Who told them there was an Ancient Creature giant bird beyond common sense in the outskirts of Jianghai City?

"Stop talking about this. If there is no 100% certainty of destroying the Ancient Creature, don't consider attacking him."

"The spiritual energy cultivation method currently being fully promoted in the city has achieved remarkable results. Perhaps in the future, that Ancient Creature will die at the hands of the Gemini who have the highest spiritual energy aptitude in our Daxia!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people who were originally somewhat dispirited were shaken!

They said excitedly!

"Yes! I didn't expect that our Daxia would actually have two people with S-grade spiritual energy aptitude, and even less did I expect that both would appear in our Jianghai City!"

"Speaking of the 'Gemini', I suddenly remembered that these two young girls seem to have a good relationship with the Ancient Creature giant bird, and they once went to the outskirts of Jianghai City..."

"Let's talk about this later. For now, let's look at the situation of the Ancient Creature on Divine Phoenix Mountain; this is what is most important right now..."

"That's true..."
