37: Chapter 37: Total Annihilation! The Spiritual Energy at the Mountain Peak Experiences a Huge Boost.

At the mountain peak.

After the Mercenary Captain threw the armor-piercing grenade, he quickly pulled Mercenary Number Three and retreated.

He laughed loudly, "Hahaha! Luckily I kept a trick up my sleeve this time and secretly hid an armor-piercing grenade! Otherwise, that monster White-Feathered Giant Eagle would have sent us to hell!"

A smile also appeared on Mercenary Number Three's face, "As expected of the Captain..."

His eyes darted toward the cave, only to see a familiar object flying out and shooting rapidly toward them!

His pupils dilated!

Because that was the very armor-piercing grenade the Mercenary Captain had just thrown into the cave!

Snap!

The armor-piercing grenade landed steadily within five meters of them, and in the next second...

The wave of fire from the armor-piercing grenade's explosion instantly swallowed the two mercenaries...

Boom!!!

A thunderous roar!

The hundred-meter-wide mountain peak shook violently, causing the five-hundred-meter mountain body to vibrate slightly.

A few seconds later, only a charred crater remained, along with billowing smoke and flying dust.

Ye Yang walked out of the cave and looked up to see fragments of limbs and shredded meat that had been blown into the sky falling back down, littering the ground and making the peak look extremely messy.

For Ye Yang, who cherished his feathers, this environment was absolutely unbearable.

He spread his wings, which had a five-meter wingspan, and flapped them hard!

A hurricane quickly whipped up on the mountain peak, its powerful winds sweeping the mass of flesh and blood fragments off the mountain.

Before long, the peak looked much cleaner than before, though there were still many bloodstains that needed cleaning.

The powerful hurricane generated by flapping his wings was exactly how Ye Yang had blown the grenade out of the cave!

He shook the dust off his snow-white feathers.

“Luckily, this bird is smart, otherwise the white jade bamboo in the cave wouldn't have been saved...”

“Ah!!! Such a huge bear!!!”

Suddenly, a terrified scream came from a corner of the peak!

Ye Yang looked over, and a young man appeared in his field of vision.

Looking at the young man's delicate appearance, he clearly wasn't part of the armed squad from earlier.

It turned out that before the Mercenary Captain threw the grenade, the rich second-generation Young Master Wang had finally managed to react amidst his terror; having witnessed the Golden Eagle's prowess, he was completely scared out of his wits!

So he had turned around and run toward the edge of the peak to head down the mountain.

But to his surprise, after only a few steps, he saw two mountain-like giant bears actually carrying a large tree up the mountain!

Two giant bears carrying a tree!

This left him feeling extremely shocked!

And at the same time, horrified...

He turned and ran back to the peak, but not a single mercenary was in sight; there was only a black-smoke-emitting crater and that terrifying White-Feathered Giant Eagle!

“Roar...”

After the Brown Bear and the Giant Panda arrived at the peak carrying the spirit tree, they looked around in confusion.

While they were following the big white bird up the mountain, a sudden loud bang and violent shaking had startled them.

The Brown Bear put down the spirit tree and took some interest in the young two-legged beast standing nearby.

This two-legged beast looks so weak... and so fair and tender... the meat should be quite good...

Moving its paws, it slowly walked over, saliva involuntarily secreting from its mouth.

“No! Help!”

“I have money! I have a lot of money! As long as you let me leave, I'll give you billions!”

“Don't eat me...”

Stared down by the Brown Bear's bulb-sized eyes, the rich second-generation Young Master Wang let out desperate cries for help!

Faced with the Brown Bear's steady advance, he could only retreat step by step.

Unknowingly, he had reached the edge of the peak; he couldn't retreat any further, for one more step would mean falling off the five-hundred-meter mountain... and being smashed to pieces!

“Ugh... let me go...”

“My dad is very rich! Please don't eat me!”

Having lost his reason and dominated by fear, he actually did the unprecedented and cried out in prayer to the Brown Bear.

He completely forgot that everyone present was an animal; how could any animal understand his words?

Except for Ye Yang, who was standing to the side.

Ye Yang gave a faint glance at the young man standing on the edge of the peak, soul-shattered and wailing for his parents, and thought nothing of it.

Although he hadn't been back at the peak for long, he could guess that it was this young man who had brought people here to capture or hunt him.

“Ah!!!”

With a piercing scream, as he watched the massive Brown Bear suddenly lunge forward, the rich second-generation Young Master Wang finally couldn't help but leap off the peak...

Having lost its target of interest, the Brown Bear shook its head and retracted its fangs.

Ye Yang withdrew his gaze.

“That young man's identity might be that of an influential young master; his death might bring more trouble...”

However, he did not regret not saving the young man, because even if he had saved him, it wouldn't stop others from coming to this mountain to cause trouble just to satisfy their curiosity or vanity.

Moreover, the young man's purpose for coming here was him; he didn't have such a good temper. If he's dead, then he's dead...

“Hiss... when did I become so indifferent to human life...”

A sudden shock went through his heart.

If this were his past life and several human lives had ended right before his eyes, he would have definitely experienced violent emotional fluctuations, but now...

He was somewhat cold, and his state of mind wasn't even affected.

“Turning into a bird has a significant impact on one's state of mind... but I'll just follow my heart...”

“Holy crap! What do you think you're doing, you Giant Panda?”

While Ye Yang was pondering miscellaneous matters, he suddenly noticed the Giant Panda staring intently with its bright black eyes at the white jade bamboo inside the cave, rushing straight past him toward the cave!

Swoosh!

Ye Yang flashed in front of the Giant Panda.

Smack!

A single wing-slap sent the Giant Panda flying away from the cave.

Ye Yang controlled his strength skillfully; the Giant Panda rolled twice on the ground and came to a stop.

It wiggled its butt, its eyes still staring fixedly at the fluorescent white jade bamboo in the cave.

How can there be glowing bamboo in this world... it smells so good... and looks so delicious...

It stole a glance at the big white bird blocking its way; it would definitely have to find a chance to sneak into the cave later.

Ye Yang's face darkened; the Giant Panda's little schemes were written all over its face.

However, he didn't care; anyway, he wouldn't allow any other creatures onto the peak from now on.

He then ordered the two bears to plant the spirit tree into the large crater blasted by the grenade.

The spirit tree was placed in the crater and covered with soil.

The spirit tree's leaves, which were somewhat withered and yellowed due to being out of the soil for a long time, rustled and shook as the surrounding spiritual qi rapidly converged toward it.

The yellowed leaves visibly restored their emerald green color, and the entire tree became full of vitality!

At the same time, Ye Yang felt that the density of spiritual qi on the peak had increased by more than twofold!

For Ye Yang, whose automatic breathing technique ran constantly, his growth speed also increased twofold!

“It took me three or four days to move this spirit tree, but it's totally worth it!”

Ye Yang thought happily.

He glanced over; sensing the dense spiritual qi, the two bears had looks of pure infatuation on their faces.

“Gugu gugu...”

He then drove the two bears down the mountain and signaled that this mountain was his territory and they were forbidden from coming up.

The Brown Bear acted quite naturally because it knew that powerful creatures were territorial.

If it had a body and strength as powerful as the big white bird, this entire mountain range would be its territory.

Furthermore, staying in the area at the foot of the mountain felt much more comfortable than the surroundings, allowing it to grow stronger faster.

The Brown Bear didn't yet know this was due to spiritual qi; the mountain was already extraordinary in its spiritual qi, and with two spiritual plants gathering it, the qi was overflowing, its density far exceeding other places.

The foot of the mountain also received some of these blessings...

Only the Giant Panda looked at the peak unwillingly, still longing for that glowing bamboo.

...

On the mountain peak, Ye Yang, looking around with his Golden Eagle eyes, suddenly spotted the corpse of the young man who had jumped off the mountain at the base.

“That young human's corpse at the foot of the mountain is really bad luck... I'll have the Monkey King handle it and throw it further away; while I'm at it, I'll have the monkey troop clean up the peak and the cave...”

What Ye Yang didn't know was that the young man's corpse, discarded by the Monkey King, would be the start of the troubles to follow...
