73: Chapter 73 The Lion Engulfed by the Flames

"I didn't expect the Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle would take the initiative to attack the monster Male Lion!"

"This is great! With the White-Feathered Giant Eagle drawing the monster lion's attention, the female reporter and the others should be able to escape danger!"

"I just don't know if the Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle is as strong as the monster Male Lion..."

"Probably not... that monster Male Lion looks three or four times larger than the Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle..."

"Yeah, the monster Male Lion is a creature that was fine even with a grenade in its mouth!"

"Then won't the White-Feathered Giant Eagle be in danger? It'd be such a shame if such a beautiful creature died just like that..."

"It won't! The White-Feathered Giant Eagle isn't stupid. If it knows it can't defeat the Male Lion, it'll definitely fly up and escape! No matter how powerful the monster lion is, it can't reach the White-Feathered Giant Eagle a thousand meters in the sky!"

"That's good then..."

Most Jianghai City citizens in front of their screens were originally terrified of Ye Yang on Divine Phoenix Mountain in the suburbs of Jianghai City, but when they saw the scene of the golden lion's tyrannical man-eating...

In their hearts, they actually hoped the Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle could defeat this man-eating Male Lion!

After all, compared to the demonic Male Lion, the White-Feathered Giant Eagle that had always stayed on Divine Phoenix Mountain was simply too well-behaved!

...

Ye Yang, flying in the sky at this moment, had no time for such thoughts. His only task now was to lure the Male Lion sprinting on the ground away from Divine Phoenix Mountain.

The forest floor vibrated, accompanied by a massive lion's roar. Along the way, sensing the commotion and the powerful auras of the Male Lion and Ye Yang, thousands of animal groups quickly migrated, staying far away from the Male Lion's path.

It wasn't until over an hour later that Ye Yang in the sky slowly decelerated and stayed suspended.

It wasn't that he didn't want to keep moving away, but the Male Lion on the ground had stopped moving and was no longer following.

Turning around, his golden pupils looked toward the distant Divine Phoenix Mountain.

"This place is at least fifty or sixty li from Divine Phoenix Mountain. This far should be enough..."

He stood quietly in the sky without making any other moves.

The Male Lion on the ground also gradually regained its senses from its rage, realizing that this big bird didn't have the guts to fight him.

Deep in its brown eyes, a green flame was burning.

Greedy Desire!

He felt that if he could eat that white figure in the sky, the benefits his body would gain would be enormous!

The attraction emitted by the white figure far exceeded that of hundreds of two-legged beasts!

A voice inside his body constantly urged him: he must eat this white giant bird!

Ye Yang, who was quietly sensing the human helicopters in the sky, suddenly felt a chill in his body.

Looking down, he saw the Male Lion on the ground looking at him with greedy eyes, drool even leaking from its big mouth!

"Heh! A beast actually wants to devour me?!"

Just then, ripples came from the air in the sky; the human helicopters had arrived.

Although the flight speed of the tiger helicopters was fast, it was nowhere near as fast as Ye Yang's, which was why they had only just arrived.

The combat personnel inside the helicopter called out.

"Reporting to the Mayor, Unit One has discovered the target, and the target has temporarily stopped moving. Should we initiate the strike?!"

"No... wait a moment. Observe the situation on the scene. Wait for the two monsters to fight before striking!"

"Yes, sir!"

At this moment, the live broadcast footage had switched to this tiger helicopter's feed.

The millions of citizens of Jianghai City and the top leader, Mayor Lin, saw the scene as if they were there.

Before their eyes, the Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle in the sky and the monster Male Lion on the ground had stopped moving. They anticipated that these two massive creatures were now in a standoff and a battle would break out before long!

Mayor Lin in Jianghai City watched the screen and murmured.

"Although you lured away the Male Lion and saved three humans, I'm sorry... you already pose a threat to the safety of our Jianghai City..."

Originally, he had planned to use the Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle's Intimidation to scare off the beasts in the suburbs of Jianghai City and protect Jianghai City from beast tides.

But now the appearance of the terrifying monster Male Lion had completely disrupted his plans!

How could such a terrifying monster Male Lion appear in the world, its body able to resist bullets and artillery shells?

More importantly, the reason this Male Lion became strong so quickly was that it had devoured a large number of humans!

Although they hadn't obtained the corpses of this lion pride for research yet, there was a high probability... that all creatures could mutate and become stronger by devouring humans!

If the White-Feathered Giant Eagle found out about this, it would be disastrous. A prehistoric giant bird with a flight speed far exceeding a helicopter's—maybe even supersonic like a fighter jet—would truly be a catastrophe for Jianghai City!

While Mayor Lin was lost in thought, an exclamation came through the communicator.

"Report! The Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle has left the scene!"

"What?!"

Through the lens, only a tiny white figure could be seen in the sky; the Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle had completely left!

"Mayor, what should we do now?"

"Attack! Otherwise, once the Male Lion starts moving, the missile lock might not be powerful enough to eliminate him..."

"Understood!"

The Male Lion, who was on the ground thinking about how to lure that white giant bird down from the sky, was stunned.

That white giant bird in the sky actually flew away!

"This!!!"

"What happened?!"

"You're not going to fight me? Why did you sneak attack me?! And you even lured me here!"

If it had the speed it's using to leave now from the very beginning, he certainly wouldn't have been able to catch up!

"Roar!!!"

An angry roar soared into the sky, shaking the clouds!

In an instant, the roar stopped.

Swish!

A faint sound of something breaking through the air came from the atmosphere!

The Male Lion's nine-meter-long body trembled violently; he felt an unprecedented crisis approaching!

Looking up, his brown pupils locked onto a tiny, almost invisible thing moving rapidly towards him!

"Roar..."

Immediately!

The Male Lion did not hesitate; he turned and ran back!

A few seconds later...

Boom!!!

As if an earthquake had arrived, the mountain terrain trembled violently!

A small mushroom cloud rolled up into the high sky, and a hundred-meter wave of fire swept through everything within hundreds of meters. Naturally, the target Male Lion was undoubtedly devoured by the explosion.

Everything happened so without warning that everyone was completely dazed.

Animals within a hundred li of the entire forest quickly fled toward the depths of the dense woods!

They thought a creature even more powerful than the Male Lion had appeared...

A few minutes later, the fire waves gradually dissipated, the ground becoming scorched earth, though the fires started by the waves continued to spread outward.

The tiger helicopter slowly descended to a certain distance, zooming in its lens to search for the target...
