199: Chapter 199 The First Outing

In the end, Ye Yang pondered for a while and decided not to kill the Red Sparrow.

Not only had the Red Sparrow provided him with some useful information, but more importantly, it posed no threat to him.

His strength far exceeded that of the Red Sparrow; even without using the bloodline power within his body, he could kill it with his powerful physique.

Moreover... there was another possibility: since he and the Red Sparrow were both avian creatures, and the Red Sparrow harbored no hostility toward him, his inner impulse to kill had subsided.

"Go now, leave this place."

Ye Yang released the sharp claws he had placed on the Red Sparrow's yellow underbelly.

Hearing his voice, the Red Sparrow immediately struggled to stand up, its entire skeletal frame feeling as if it were falling apart, and it prostrated its body on the ground, lowering its head.

"Thank you, my lord..."

Swoosh!

With a sharp sound, Ye Yang's figure vanished. With his departure, the surrounding temperature returned to normal, and that piercing, sharp sensation gradually faded away.

"Hoo..."

The Red Sparrow, prostrate on the ground, panted heavily, its ruby-like pupils shimmering with light.

"I finally survived..."

It looked with fearful eyes at the red figure speeding away high in the sky.

"I never expected such a powerful avian creature to appear here. The evolution level of this avian creature is definitely above 'C' rank!"

"I had better leave here first..."

Just as it wanted to flap its massive red wings, a sharp pain shot from deep within its body, causing it to stumble and crash heavily onto the ground!

The ground shook, kicking up a cloud of dust...

"This is bad, the internal injuries are too severe... This..."

A trace of despair appeared in its red pupils. It did not know what the consequences would be if that terrifying red avian creature discovered it was still lingering in its territory.

It could only struggle to support its body and walk in the opposite direction of the towering Divine Phoenix Mountain...

On the summit of Divine Phoenix Mountain.

The beast that had returned to the summit raised its eyes.

"Where does that giant Red Sparrow want to go?"

In his perception, the Red Sparrow's figure was moving along the forest floor.

"Forget it, I won't bother with it; it won't affect me anyway..."

Ye Yang began to organize the information he had learned from the Red Sparrow; his earlier thoughts might not have been comprehensive...

After a few minutes of thought, he gradually cleared his train of thought.

"Spirit energy recovery—this phrase proves that spirit energy itself once existed on Blue Star, but for some unknown reason, it disappeared..."

"At least within the ages known to humanity, there was no sign of spirit energy..."

Some clues emerged in his mind. In his past life, scientists knew that the largest creatures in Blue Star's history were dinosaurs. Back then, they speculated that dinosaurs had reached such massive sizes because of a special environment...

However, there was no scientific data to prove that this was the reason for the dinosaurs' massive size. After all, dinosaurs had been extinct for over 60 million years, while humans, according to the earliest appearance dates, had only existed for about 4 million years; the time gap was too large.

"Could it be that those extinct dinosaurs reached sizes far exceeding creatures of later generations because of spirit energy..."

With too many doubts in his heart, he muttered to himself.

"Blue Star..."

"The return of the myriad races... an opportunity for rapid evolution..."

"The most important thing now is that I don't know if I have enough time to develop..."

His golden pupils overlooked the forest below, shrouded in white spirit energy mist. Giant trees standing a hundred meters tall clustered into forests; the changes in the wild environment exceeded all human expectations.

"It seems I can no longer be a salted fish; it is time to plan for rapidly increasing my evolution level..."

He had planned this before; currently, the only information he had was about the creature called "Snake Mother" in the depths of the Qinling Mountains.

"Since you, Black Giant Snake, wanted me to find the Snake Mother before, I will grant your wish!"

"Although it might be a little late, it counts as arriving, albeit late!"

A cold light flashed in the depths of his golden pupils!

He then approached Panda Xiong Er, who was playing with a mobile phone and sitting to the side, savoring the taste of the white jade bamboo, to give instructions.

"Ah Li, Xiong Er, you two stay at the summit to guard this place. Remember, you must never both be away from the summit at the same time."

"Roar?"

"Chirp chirp?"

Panda Xiong Er and the Little White Fox Ah Li exchanged confused glances, both making questioning sounds, asking for Ye Yang's reasons.

A few seconds later, the Little White Fox Ah Li's eyes lit up as she realized!

"Chirp chirp! Big Brother, are you going out?! Take me with you, please!"

Her pair of large, sparkling pink fox eyes glowed! She was very excited, much like a young girl going shopping...

It was evident that no matter how mysterious the Nine-tailed Little White Fox's origins were, she was still as active as a fox at heart.

Ye Yang shook his head. "Next time, for sure!"

He was a bit uneasy about leaving just Panda Xiong Er and the Monkey King to watch the house. It wasn't a question of loyalty, but rather that if any major unexpected situation arose, their ability to handle things was not as good as the Little White Fox Ah Li's.

Boom!

A sonic boom echoed in the air, and Ye Yang's figure vanished from the summit...

"Roar..."

Xiong Er: ( ￣ . ￣ )

Panda Xiong Er watched the red figure speeding away high in the sky, its panda eyes blinking in confusion.

"Chirp chirp... What a silly bear..."

The Little White Fox Ah Li withdrew her reluctant gaze and retorted at Xiong Er. Disappointed, she soon returned to the world of the mobile internet...

"Roar?"

"Report! The monitored target, the Ancient Divine Phoenix, has left Divine Phoenix Mountain! And it has already moved out of the monitoring range!"

Hundreds of miles away from Divine Phoenix Mountain, Jianghai City had specially built an outpost to monitor Ye Yang.

Although they currently had no way to deal with Ye Yang, they still monitored his every move. After all, if Ye Yang harbored any hostility toward Jianghai City, it could buy them some time to respond.

"What?! Where did the Ancient Divine Phoenix go?!"

The person in charge of the monitoring station couldn't help but shout anxiously!

"Report, Company Commander... Judging by the direction in which the Ancient Divine Phoenix disappeared... it is the Qinling Mountains—"

"Damn! You didn't see that wrong, did you?!"

"No..."

After confirming the situation, the Company Commander breathed a sigh of relief.

Since that Ancient Divine Phoenix was not heading for Jianghai City, he could rest easy...

At the same time, his heart also tightened.

"The situation in the Qinling Mountains is very complex right now. I remember that not long ago, Jianghai City dispatched an elite squad of soldiers to the Qinling Mountains to collect spirit plants and spirit fruit, and no information has come back since..."

"The Ancient Divine Phoenix, which had never left its territory, has now gone to the unknown Qinling Mountains. This matter must be very important!"

Subsequently, the Company Commander of the monitoring outpost immediately notified Jianghai City of what had happened.
