18: Chapter 18 Treasure! White Jade Bamboo

"Roar!!!"

The enraged Brown Bear erupted with power and speed far more terrifying than before, like a fully-loaded small truck, rumbling as it charged towards the giant tiger not far away!

The two powerful giant beasts clashed once again, and the power that erupted in an instant made the surrounding trees tremble slightly, causing large cracks to appear on the ground.

The astonishing momentum unleashed by their battle had long since driven away the beasts living in the vicinity, while those that had coveted the spiritual energy emitted by the white jade bamboo were already lying in pools of blood on the ground.

Swish...

A faint sound came from the sky, and no one noticed a gray figure quietly landing on a large tree not far from the battlefield.

"No wonder there are so many wild animals here, with tigers and wolf packs everywhere; it turns out there is a nature reserve here..."

Ye Yang flew here and saw a tall iron signpost standing not far away, only then realizing that not far from the mountains of Jianghai City, there was a large Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve.

"No wonder I encountered tigers and wolf packs earlier... They must have run out from this Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve..."

His golden pupils glanced indifferently at the battle between the Brown Bear and the giant tiger not far away...

His mood, however, was somewhat heavy. He had originally thought that after evolving to the "E-" rank, he was already at the top of the food chain in the natural world, but watching the power displayed by the two truck-like beasts, he realized he had underestimated the other predators in nature, and he was not yet a match for these two guys.

He did not believe these two beasts had a higher rank than him, but...

Ultimately, his species was a Sparrow, which was inherently far inferior to creatures like tigers and the Brown Bear.

"However... this gap will soon be closed!"

His gaze fixed on the white jade bamboo not far away, and what excited Ye Yang was that the spiritual energy emitted by this white jade bamboo was much denser than that of the small red fruits he had eaten.

Moreover, even if all the small red fruits were added together, they did not have as much attraction for him as the white jade bamboo!

"A spiritual object! A great treasure!"

His golden pupils burst with excitement!

His golden talons underneath inadvertently pressed hard, leaving two marks on the tree trunk.

"Then the next part is very simple..."

"When two fight, the third benefits..."

...

Just like that, Ye Yang reined in his aura and hid quietly on a large tree not far away, waiting patiently for the right moment to act.

The enraged Brown Bear and the giant tiger fought like this from the afternoon until the sky gradually grew dim.

Ye Yang looked up and saw that, unknowingly, the sun hanging high in the sky had gradually set.

"Roar..."

"Roar..."

At this moment, the Brown Bear and the giant tiger, having fought for an entire afternoon, no longer had their previous state, panting heavily with their entire bodies covered in bloodstains and bite marks.

Especially the Brown Bear, which was huge and not good at dodging; there was not a single clean patch of fur on its body, as if it had fallen into a pool of blood, making it a literal blood bear.

The giant tiger was not much better off; although it looked less injured than the Brown Bear on the surface, only it knew that several of its ribs were broken.

"Roar..."

Even with severe injuries, the two ferocious beasts displayed an increasingly chilling momentum, and the madness radiating from their eyes was enough to make a timid person lose control of their bladder!

After letting out a roar, they fiercely clashed together.

In the end, the giant tiger, with severe internal injuries, was no longer as agile as before and had its neck bitten through by the Brown Bear.

However, the giant tiger's final counterattack before death also caused a bleeding hole in the Brown Bear's chest that would not stop flowing.

"Awooo!!!"

Just as the battered Brown Bear finished off the giant tiger, a massive black figure appeared on the forest floor, charging towards the Brown Bear with great momentum!

Bang!

Before the Brown Bear could react, it was knocked flying more than ten meters away by this black figure, crashing heavily onto the ground.

The earth trembled.

At this moment, the black figure was exposed to the light; it was actually a Great Black Wild Boar with a size no less than the hill-like Brown Bear!

The Great Black Wild Boar had incredibly long bristles on its neck, and its grayish-black fur was as sharp as needles, with two tusks over half a meter long flashing in its mouth.

"Roar..."

After getting up, the Brown Bear could not help but let out a painful roar, looking with resentment at the Great Black Wild Boar that had ambushed it.

Before fighting the giant tiger, it had already cleared away all the wild animals in the vicinity, and it had not expected that there was still a Great Black Wild Boar nearby, and this Great Black Wild Boar's power was completely on the same level as what it and the giant tiger had possessed earlier.

"Roar..."

Without a word, it turned and ran backwards.

"Awooo!!!"

How could the Great Black Wild Boar give up the prey in front of it? One had to know that wild boars were omnivorous animals and could eat meat!

Soon the Great Black Wild Boar caught up with the seriously injured and fleeing Brown Bear, knocked the Brown Bear to the ground in one go, and began to attack the Brown Bear's body with the massive power of its own body.

"Roar..."

The seriously injured Brown Bear was unable to resist the Great Black Wild Boar. It had tried to run away at the first opportunity, but it had not expected that this Great Black Wild Boar would still not let it go!

Its physical state was currently extremely poor, and it could not even harm the Great Black Wild Boar with a final death blow.

...

"I didn't expect that there was a Great Black Wild Boar lying in ambush nearby..."

Ye Yang, perched on the thick tree trunk, had his golden pupils shift.

"It seems these huge guys are not only powerful but also quite clever..."

"But this makes things easier for me..."

His golden pupils looked to the other side, where the white jade bamboo stood quietly, emitting a layer of fluorescent light.

Swish!

Transforming into a gray shadow, he rushed quickly towards the white jade bamboo.

"Ding, sensing the richness of the surrounding spiritual energy, the Basic Breathing Technique is pleased, and its operating efficiency has increased!"

As soon as he arrived within ten meters of the white jade bamboo, Ye Yang felt a massive amount of spiritual energy, much higher than the spiritual energy at the mountaintop!

At the same time, the operating efficiency of the Basic Breathing Technique increased significantly. It was already at double efficiency for seventy-two hours, and now the operating efficiency had gone up another level, reaching triple!

"What a treasure!"

"Uh... this white jade bamboo probably isn't meant to be eaten, so I'll just have to take it away..."

A pair of golden talons firmly gripped the stalk of the white jade bamboo, and he pulled with all his might.

It didn't budge!

Moreover, Ye Yang felt that the material of the white jade bamboo was very hard, far exceeding ordinary steel. Ye Yang's current strength could leave marks on steel, but the white jade bamboo withstood part of his power, and the bamboo node did not deform, nor did it even leave a trace on the surface.

"Then I'll use my full strength!"

His claws gripped the white jade bamboo firmly, and he exerted force with his whole body. Under the gaze of Ye Yang's golden eyes, the base of the white jade bamboo began to loosen and was slowly detaching from the ground...

"Awooo!!!"

Suddenly, a huge gust of wind came from behind!

Ye Yang didn't need to think to know that the Great Black Wild Boar was charging over!
