161: Chapter 161 Talent: Toxin Immunity D+

Not far from where Divine Phoenix Mountain had collapsed and fallen, there was a clearing in the forest.

A miraculous giant bird, its body shimmering with brilliant golden light and exuding an elegant, noble aura, gazed with its golden pupils at a petite nine-tailed white fox.

After Little White Fox Ah Li ate the dragon blood fruit, she stuck out her small tongue and licked her pink lips as if savoring the taste. Nothing else happened; it was as if she had just eaten an ordinary wild fruit.

"Ah Li seems different from other creatures. Her eyes are clear, and she doesn't show an excessive desire for the dragon blood fruit..."

A glint flashed in Ye Yang's golden pupils, and he immediately used the Detection Spell on Little White Fox Ah Li.

"Detection Spell!"

Race: Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox

evolution level: D-

Bloodline: Unawakened

Talent: Source of Spirit (D+) ??? Unawakened

Spiritual Power Level: D+

Spiritual Skills: Telepathy, Intimidation, Charm, ??? (Unawakened)

Skills: Spirit Fox Breathing Technique (proficient)

The information obtained was exactly the same as before.

Had he not seen the dragon blood fruit fall from the dragon blood tree and enter Little White Fox Ah Li's small mouth with his own eyes, he would have surely suspected that she was just eating ordinary wild mountain berries.

A hint of flattery appeared on Little White Fox Ah Li's cute doll-like face. Her fox eyes narrowed into thin slits, and she said in a soft, sweet voice.

"Chirp chirp... Big Brother, could you... let this humble one eat a few more fruits... from the spirit tree..."

Her voice was naturally soft and cute, but she insisted on forcing it into a coquettish tone.

The coquettish sound caused Xiong Da, Xiong Er, and Monkey King Wukong, who were nearby sensing their own changes, to shudder all over.

Ye Yang felt the same way. His body jolted, and he almost broke out in goosebumps.

It wasn't that Little White Fox Ah Li's voice was unpleasant—on the contrary, it was quite melodious—but seeing a fox that wasn't even the size of one of his feathers acting so spoiled toward him gave him an instinctive fright, nearly making him leap into the sky.

On the surface, Ye Yang's expression remained unchanged, showing nothing unusual, but his heart was trembling incessantly. After taking a deep breath...

He looked at Little White Fox Ah Li, who was smiling charmingly at him. "Where did you learn those words and phrases?"

He didn't believe that Little White Fox Ah Li, who was no more than two or three months old, could understand such things.

"Chirp chirp... From the mobile phone... those two-legged beasts' comments on the internet... are so interesting..."

"Chirp chirp... I thought it was fun, so I learned it... Does Big Brother not like it?"

Ye Yang said decisively, "In the future, don't learn from those humans on the internet when you have nothing to do, or you'll end up as stupid as Xiong Er!"

"Chirp chirp... Oh, okay!"

Little White Fox Ah Li nodded as if she understood.

Nearby, Giant Panda Xiong Er, sitting on the ground, blinked his panda eyes, having no idea what was happening...

Afterward, Ye Yang continued feeding Little White Fox Ah Li dragon blood fruit. Since the fruit was a renewable resource for him and not particularly precious, he was curious to see what she would look like after evolving.

It wasn't until the third dragon blood fruit that Little White Fox Ah Li's body trembled several times, and an aura of a "D" rank creature emanated from her. Only then was Ye Yang certain that her evolution level had increased.

However, after the upgrade, Little White Fox Ah Li's appearance didn't change at all, not even her size.

For other creatures, every rise in evolution level meant a massive boost in strength, but Ye Yang felt that Little White Fox Ah Li's level-up was as natural as drinking water or eating food.

"How strange..."

Ye Yang was speechless and a bit envious. It was obvious that this little white fox, who had popped out of a stone, had immense potential.

Feeling the new power surging within her, excitement appeared on Little White Fox Ah Li's small face.

"Chirp chirp! Thank you, Big Brother!"

Ye Yang nodded, then walked over to the corpse of the Black Giant Snake.

The belly of the Black Giant Snake was the weak point of its defense, but Ye Yang directly raised his sharp claws and went for the snake scales!

His golden claws easily tore through the pitch-black scales of the Black Giant Snake. Before his claws, the defense of those scales was as fragile as paper.

This sight made Ye Yang's three beast subordinates, who were resting nearby, feel their hearts skip a beat. After all, they had personally experienced the terrifying defensive power of the Black Giant Snake's scales.

Simultaneously.

The beautiful texture of the snake meat was exposed to the air, and an enticing aroma wafted through the surroundings.

Big Brown Bear... no, his race was now the Storm Bear, Xiong Da—along with Giant Panda Xiong Er, Monkey King Wukong, and even Little White Fox Ah Li, who had been about to continue playing with the phone—couldn't help but turn their gazes toward the meat, swallowing their saliva.

Ye Yang searched within the body of the Black Giant Snake. This was his first time hunting a snake; whether in his past life as a human or in this world, he had never eaten snake meat before.

Perhaps out of a bird's instinct regarding snakes, he quickly found a black organ inside the Black Giant Snake's body.

"This should be the Snake Gall, right?"

His golden pupils looked at the black organ, which was a full half-meter large. This was the organ that attracted him most within the Black Giant Snake, so he surmised it must be the most nutritious part—the Snake Gall.

Under the longing gazes of his several beast subordinates, he opened his beak and swallowed it.

The half-meter-sized black Snake Gall entered his belly and was instantly digested and absorbed by his digestive system, turning into a powerful stream of spiritual energy that flowed through his body.

"The spiritual energy in the Snake Gall is actually this much..."

To Ye Yang's shock, the spiritual energy contained in the Snake Gall was nearly equal to that of a dragon blood fruit!

Just four or five dragon blood fruits would be enough for him to break through his C- evolution level, but considering that the Snake Gall was the essence of the Black Giant Snake's entire body, it was understandable.

However, compared to the spiritual energy he needed for his current evolution level upgrade, the energy in the Snake Gall was just a small amount that looked decent.

"Eh?"

Suddenly, a strange energy appeared in his body and surged toward his heart. The heart is the source of blood, responsible for producing it.

Soon, Ye Yang felt a strange energy flowing within his blood.

"Notice: You have consumed the Snake Gall of a D+ rank Black Giant Snake. Your body has successfully obtained the talent Toxin Immunity D+!"

"Obtained a talent?!"

The system's mechanical voice echoed in his mind. Ye Yang was startled, and his consciousness sank into his mind.

"System Interface!"

Talents: Golden Thunder Body (C), Toxin Immunity (D+)

Sure enough, Toxin Immunity (D+) had appeared in his talent column!

Ye Yang's eyes glazed over for a moment. He hadn't expected that devouring the Black Giant Snake would yield such great benefits!

He had hunted many powerful creatures before, but he had never obtained any talents after devouring them.

"Is it because this Black Giant Snake's evolution level was D+?"

"Or did some change occur in the system after this evolution level upgrade..."

"System Log!"
