71: Chapter 71: You were the ones who lured the monster here.

"Holy crap! What a huge gorilla!"

"That doesn't look like a gorilla! It looks more like a monkey!"

"Are you kidding me, man?! How could there be a three-meter-tall golden monkey in this world?"

"Then tell me, is there a nine-meter-long Male Lion in this world?"

"So familiar... Wait! I remember now, isn't this the large Golden Snub-nosed Monkey that saved the child from the lion pride in Yangguan Village before!"

"This Golden Snub-nosed Monkey actually saved the reporters, what is its purpose..."

"Could this big monkey be sentient and even know how to use weapons!"

"I don't know..."

Not only were the citizens of Jianghai City in front of their screens feeling confused and shocked, but Reporter Wang Xiaoli and the two soldiers on the scene felt the same way.

They never dreamed that just seconds before being pounced on by the lionesses, a burly Golden Snub-nosed Monkey would actually save them!

Furthermore, this burly creature stood over three meters tall, nearly twice the height of a human.

What surprised them most was that this burly Golden Snub-nosed Monkey could actually kill two lionesses in an instant!

And it was with the staff in its hands!

With its vigorous posture, burly build, and the three-meter-long staff in its hand, it was hard for the name Sun Wukong not to come to mind!

The Golden Snub-nosed Monkey King had no idea about the chaotic thoughts in the minds of the three two-legged beasts behind him; he turned around and carefully observed them with his pale yellow pupils.

Under Ye Yang's guidance over the past few days, his intelligence and cognitive abilities had improved significantly.

He scanned them up and down, his gaze piercing, with the light of wisdom flickering deep in his eyes.

After a few minutes, he withdrew his gaze because he found that these three two-legged beasts bore no hostility.

The Monkey King's personality was not as wild as the Big Brown Bear's. After confirming that the three two-legged beasts before him were not a threat, he shook the blood off his long staff, leaped onto a large tree, and hurried toward the depths of the forest.

Because he had detected a powerful aura in the distance, he felt he had to go tell the boss...

The three people left behind felt as if their bodies were falling apart.

"Fortunately, this big monkey didn't attack us. It seems this monkey really isn't like those man-eating beasts; perhaps it's because monkeys are omnivores."

"Where should we go next?"

This was a crucial question; Soldier Da Niu and Soldier Er Hu looked toward Reporter Wang Xiaoli.

In this short time, it had already been proven how keen this woman's intuition regarding wild beasts was.

Reporter Wang Xiaoli looked at the motionless lioness carcasses on the ground, then gazed straight into the depths of the mountain forest.

"The pride has more than just these two lionesses. If we retreat to the suburban highway now and pass through the pride's territory, there's a high probability we'll be ambushed!"

"Besides, look, the direction that golden ape is heading is the same as ours. Even if we don't go to Divine Phoenix Mountain, we'll be much safer with the protection of this ape!"

"So... I suggest we continue deeper into the mountain forest!"

The two soldiers, being experienced in combat, nodded in agreement with this plan.

After a brief rest, they set off in the direction the Monkey King had gone.

Two or three hours later, the massive Male Lion found this place by following the scent of the lionesses.

Seeing the corpses of the two lionesses, he let out a terrifying roar that sent animals within dozens of miles fleeing in terror.

This hunt for the two-legged beasts had cost the pride four lionesses. Now, besides him, only two lionesses remained!

This was something he absolutely could not tolerate!

However, the most important thing right now was to go deeper into the mountains to hunt prey that would help his growth!

...

Meanwhile, the Monkey King had also returned to Divine Phoenix Mountain and reached the summit.

"Wuu wuu wuu..."

Ye Yang watched with his golden pupils as the Monkey King gestured animatedly, and it took a while before he understood some simple meanings.

"Gu gu gu... Wukong, you mean... outside this mountain forest... you felt a powerful aura..."

"Gu gu gu... That aura is even more powerful than mine?"

Monkey King Wukong's golden, furry monkey face hesitated for a moment before he nodded.

Although in his heart the boss before him was the most powerful animal, his physical instincts told him that the massive animal's aura was slightly stronger than the boss's.

Ye Yang's heart sank, feeling quite surprised.

He had personally observed that golden Male Lion two days ago. Even though they were both "D-" rank beasts, Ye Yang felt certain he could defeat him!

Even if he couldn't kill him, he could easily drive him away.

But now...

The Monkey King was very loyal and wouldn't deceive him; the creature with that powerful aura must be the Male Lion.

"Only two days have passed, and this Male Lion has evolved? What on earth happened..."

The nearby spirit fruits had long been gathered by the monkey troop, and Divine Phoenix Mountain was the area with the densest spiritual energy among the mountains.

"How did that Male Lion evolve and upgrade without resources?"

Deep confusion filled his heart, but the most important issue now was how to face this Male Lion.

He knew that before long, this Male Lion would come to seize his Divine Phoenix Mountain.

"Time to run; as long as the green hills remain, one need not worry about firewood!"

His golden pupils flashed!

There was no panic in his heart at all.

However, he didn't leave immediately because he wanted to see this Male Lion before making a decision.

If this Male Lion really was stronger than him, he would definitely turn and run without a hint of hesitation!

Animal territoriality? A competitive nature?

You've got to be kidding; Ye Yang possessed a human soul and was fully capable of suppressing these physical instincts.

And what would he be fighting the Male Lion for?

Nothing more than the spiritual energy at the summit of Divine Phoenix Mountain!

Ye Yang knew very clearly that the key to his strength was the automatic upgrade system within him, which grew stronger automatically every moment, so there was no need to fight to the death for resources.

Even if the Male Lion was strong, it was only temporary.

Before long, after Ye Yang evolved and upgraded, wouldn't he be able to return here and easily take his revenge?

Furthermore, that Male Lion was just a land creature, while he was a prehistoric bird!

He could fly thousands of meters high in the sky!

This was an innate authority of birds, something other animals on Blue Star would never possess!

...

Two hours passed, and afternoon arrived.

Gazing around from the summit of Divine Phoenix Mountain, Ye Yang's eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Why are there humans coming in this direction?"

In his field of vision, humans were running toward this place from a dozen miles away.

Before Ye Yang could finish his thought, a daunting aura emanated from the distance.

Shifting his gaze, a golden Male Lion appeared in his sight!

The dense, crowded forest was like a green ocean, and wherever the Male Lion went, large trees collapsed.

Looking down from his perspective, this Male Lion looked like it was swimming in the ocean.

Majestic, domineering... and dangerous...

"Good grief... so it was you who led the monster here?!"
