208: Chapter 208 The Dragon Blood Tree Grows! Giant Formation

"In the past few hours, I've had a palpitating feeling behind me... Could it be that 'Lord' mentioned by the Snake Mother has caught up?!"

However, there wasn't a trace of panic in Ye Yang's heart.

Even though that palpitating feeling was intense and could exert such pressure on his body even from outside his field of vision, there was no need to think twice... this creature must be an extremely powerful existence, and its evolution level was definitely higher than his.

The reason he wasn't panicking was that that aura had disappeared several hours ago.

"Little White Fox Ah Li said that the more powerful a creature is, the more it relies on spiritual energy concentration. The reason this powerful creature isn't pursuing is surely due to the spiritual energy concentration..."

Simply put, for high-evolution level creatures, spiritual energy was like the relationship between fish and water.

However, Ye Yang speculated that this viewpoint certainly wouldn't apply to all high-evolution level creatures.

After all, in this current world, who knows if the fish in the river might one day evolve terrestrial oxygen-breathing organs and come for a stroll on land? No one could say for sure when it came to the bizarre underground Source Stone creatures...

"Chirp chirp... Big Brother, you're back?"

"Roar..."

Ye Yang landed on the peak of Divine Phoenix Mountain carrying the Snake Mother's massive body, instantly causing the mountain peak to shake and naturally attracting the attention of the house-guarding Little White Fox Ah Li and Second Bear.

Little White Fox Ah Li placed her phone on a rock and came to Ye Yang's side.

She glanced left and right at the stone wall covered in seductive red flowers and the corpse of the massive Black Giant Snake; her pink, watery fox eyes were filled with shock.

"This is a creature with an evolution level as high as 'C+'... Big Brother was actually able to hunt this Black Giant Snake, his strength is truly too great!"

Meanwhile, Second Bear had already run over to the blood orchid stone wall and sniffed with his nose...

Second Bear: (✪ω✪)

This is the scent of delicious food!

Saliva was already dripping from the bear's mouth...

Although his body really wanted to eat the red flowers before him, Second Bear made no move...

"These ancient spiritual plants are very important to me and haven't matured yet. Second Bear, you understand what I mean, right?"

"Roar..."

Second Bear withdrew his gaze longingly and nodded reluctantly.

Next, Ye Yang was going to take stock of his harvest.

First was the main haul of this trip: the stone wall blood orchids and the Snake Mother's corpse.

Most of the blood orchids on the stone wall were not yet mature, so Ye Yang decided to wait until they matured before eating them.

He turned his gaze toward the hill-sized corpse of the Snake Mother before him.

His golden claws rose, flashing with a sharp light under the sun.

Crack!

The Snake Mother's hard serpentine body was broken open by Ye Yang. After ten minutes, Ye Yang finally found his target—the Snake Mother's heart!

Using his claws, he carefully extracted the Snake Mother's heart; the air was instantly filled with a bloody scent.

Looking at the heart that was nearly half the size of his own body, he felt a sense of anticipation.

"I hope the Snake Mother's heart can help the dragon blood tree grow..."

He then placed the massive heart in front of the dragon blood tree's trunk. His sharp golden claws successfully pierced the giant heart, revealing a gap.

The blood contained within the Snake Mother's massive heart gushed out continuously from the surface opening...

It soon dyed the trunk of the dragon blood tree red...

A few minutes later, the branches and leaves of the dragon blood tree trembled without any wind, making a rustling sound...

The blood-red heart blood of the Snake Mother soaked into the depths of the trunk, and gradually, the blood disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, the entire body of the dragon blood tree began to shake violently...

Fifty meters... sixty meters... seventy meters...

In a short moment, it grew to a height of seventy meters!

"The dragon blood tree's effect of condensing spiritual energy has become stronger!"

Ye Yang noticed this very keenly. The spiritual energy concentration at the peak of Divine Phoenix Mountain was rising rapidly, increasing by about twofold in a short period of time!

This was a good thing for him because his growth speed would be even faster.

"I didn't expect that the heart blood of snake-types could actually increase the growth speed of the dragon blood tree..."

"Does that mean that a Dragon Race exists in this world?! It's truly fantasy-like..."

Ye Yang did not yet know that he had already been targeted by a creature suspected to be a dragon; otherwise, he certainly wouldn't be able to remain calm right now.

A flash of light flickered in the depths of his golden pupils!

"There are still a large number of snakes in Snake Valley... Out of territorial instinct, these giant snakes definitely won't give up Snake Valley, which is rich in spiritual energy and suitable for their growth. If nothing unexpected happens, there will still be a large number of Black Giant Snakes living in Snake Valley!"

"When the evolution level of those Black Giant Snakes reaches 'C-' and they undergo atavism to become Black Underworld Pythons like the Snake Mother, the heart blood of tens of thousands of Black Underworld Pythons... to what terrifying level would the dragon blood tree be raised!"

Then Ye Yang looked at the bloodless heart in front of the dragon blood tree's trunk. It still maintained the shape of a heart, though its luster was no longer as obvious.

Ye Yang did not hesitate. Raising his claws, he lowered his head, opened his beak, and began to feed...

"Prompt: You have obtained the talent Gigantification (C)!"

"Prompt: You have consumed the heart of a Black Underworld Python; the number of Supreme Aura Cells in your body has increased!"

"Prompt: You have consumed the heart of a Black Underworld Python; you have obtained a large amount of spiritual energy!"

When Ye Yang finished eating the Snake Mother's heart, his body was filled with a large amount of spiritual energy, and several system prompts rang out in his mind!

"Gigantification?!"

Ye Yang's pupils flashed with joy. Long ago, he had guessed that powerful creatures devouring each other would yield great benefits. Last time, he had obtained Toxin Immunity from a Black Giant Snake; he hadn't expected to obtain the talent Gigantification this time!

"Gigantification!"

With a thought, his fiery-red body began to expand rapidly like a balloon. In the blink of an eye, he became a creature with a wingspan of forty meters, and his body size was three to four times larger than before!

"Chirp chirp..."

"Roar..."

Beside him, Little White Fox Ah Li and Second Bear were dumbfounded, looking at each other in confusion.

Second Bear rubbed his panda eyes and then looked ahead...

How did the Boss's body become so massive?

Has his appetite also become larger?

Ye Yang silently sensed the changes in his body.

"After the body size increases... the strength within the body has risen by a level... but it's not all benefits..."

The most obvious feeling was that his body's agility had been affected, and both the lightning power and the Glazed Blazing Fire power in his body were impacted; they didn't feel as spontaneous or as easy to command as in his previous form.

"Fortunately, the talent Gigantification can be deactivated..."

With a thought, under the dumbstruck gazes of Little White Fox Ah Li and Second Bear, Ye Yang's body size returned to its previous form.

"The harvest is more than just this..."

"System Log!"

"Prompt: After a battle, the operational efficiency of the Thunder-Fire Breathing Technique in your body will be greatly increased for a period of time!"

"Prompt: After a battle, the operational efficiency of the Supreme Aura Cells in your body will be greatly increased for a period of time..."

"Prompt..."
