85: Chapter 85 A Strange Flutter! The Two-Winged Saber-Toothed Tiger

Inside the Jianghai City Biological Research Institute.

All the researchers stared at the snow-white tiger that had just hatched before them. Strikingly, this hairless tiger already had two fully developed fangs, and what was even more eye-catching was that this Saber-toothed Tiger possessed a pair of wings!

Having finished eating its own eggshell, the Winged Saber-toothed Tiger gazed at the group of people before it with confused golden pupils. It had just been born, and although it was already the size of an adult dog, its cognitive abilities were still in the initial stages.

It did not know what the relationship was between itself and these two-legged beasts...

Swoosh!

An anesthetic needle accurately pierced the body of the Winged Saber-toothed Tiger, and the anesthetic was successfully injected into its system.

The Winged Saber-toothed Tiger shuddered, and after a few breaths, it lost control of its body and collapsed onto the ground...

Soon, the researchers had thoroughly examined the Winged Saber-toothed Tiger from the inside out.

The resulting data left them feeling exhilarated!

"The cellular genes of this Winged Saber-toothed Tiger have no defects; it can grow just like an ordinary animal! It won't suddenly die prematurely!"

"To have such a massive physique right after birth—I really look forward to seeing how powerful this Winged Saber-toothed Tiger will be once it reaches adulthood..."

"We must carefully observe all data on this creature; it might just unlock the mysteries of spiritual energy evolution for us humans!"

...

On the outskirts of Jianghai City, Divine Phoenix Mountain.

The spiritual energy in the air of Blue Star was becoming increasingly dense, and a thin white mist, like a layer of smog, lingered over the mountaintop for long periods.

Droplets of white dew appeared on the leaves of the spirit tree atop the mountain, and the leaves swayed slightly as they tirelessly consumed the gathered spiritual energy.

Not far away, the fluorescent white jade bamboo stood on the peak; its roots delved deep into the rock, and each bamboo segment had become thicker and stronger than before.

From inside the cave, rhythmic, thumping heartbeats could be heard.

A massive white bird stepped out of the cave, moving with thick, powerful white talons.

Under the sunlight, his snow-white feathers shimmered with layers of halos.

"Notification: Your Supreme Aura Cells have sensed the energy from the sunlight, awakened from their slumber, are feeling joyful, and have begun to circulate..."

"Notification: Your Basic Breathing Technique has improved in skill proficiency after a day of arduous practice!"

"Notification: After a night of rest, your Telepathic Sensing skill has reached a full state, and its proficiency has increased!"

The familiar voice echoed in Ye Yang's mind once again...

Ye Yang's expression remained unchanged; he had been listening to this voice for nearly two months and had long since grown accustomed to it.

His gaze fell upon the two spirit plants on the peak. The white jade bamboo had grown from its original length of over a meter to three meters now!

And the spirit tree had also surged in height from its original ten meters to fifteen meters!

To the naked eye, both spirit plants were now surrounded by a layer of diluted spiritual mist; one could tell at a glance that these two were treasures!

To prevent himself from accidentally damaging the white jade bamboo inside the cave, Ye Yang had moved it outside.

What made him even happier was that small, greenish-blue flower buds had already begun to sprout on the branches of the towering spirit tree!

This filled him with anticipation; the spirit tree was already quite extraordinary, and if it produced spirit fruit, the effects of that fruit would surely be astonishing!

The spirit tree, just like him, absorbed spiritual energy twenty-four hours a day, so the amount of spiritual energy contained within the spirit fruit must be immense!

The white jade bamboo had also undergone significant changes.

When Ye Yang had dug it out from the cave, he clearly saw that the roots of the white jade bamboo were splitting; perhaps in the future, he would have an entire forest of white jade bamboo!

"Not bad..."

Just as he was feeling joyful, savoring the satisfaction of cultivation and growth.

Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and an inexplicable sense of trepidation arose within him.

A hint of confusion flashed in his golden pupils; his physical intuition was rarely wrong.

"Could it be that some danger is approaching?"

"Or perhaps, are there humans preparing to target me?"

He pondered for a long time, but couldn't come up with any answers.

"Forget it, I won't think about it anymore... At worst, I'll just go hide inside Jianghai City."

His eagle eyes were filled with ruthlessness; he didn't believe that humans would risk the danger to millions of citizens just to attack him.

He cast his gaze down the mountain.

Seeing that Xiong Da's physique had surged to over seven meters, he nodded in satisfaction.

Xiong Da, who had consumed the most flesh of the male lion, combined with the recent nourishment from the spiritual energy at the foot of the mountain—Ye Yang could sense from his aura that his evolutionary level had already reached "E+"!

Xiong Da was currently the most powerful of his three underlings.

Ye Yang nodded in satisfaction; the stronger his underlings were, the more benefits it brought him.

Once Xiong Da's evolutionary level reached "D" rank, he would likely awaken the Telepathic Sensing skill. At that point, he could help him handle many tasks, such as guarding the outskirts of the forest or searching for spirit fruit.

At the foot of the mountain, only a few female monkeys remained with their young, including that human cub; the Monkey King had taken the adult monkeys out once again to wander in search of spirit fruit.

Giant Panda Xiong Er didn't know where he had run off to; there was no need to guess, he had likely gone off to forage for food again.

"Wait... where did that husky, Da Hei, go?"

Ye Yang suddenly recalled that a few days ago, two young girls had brought that husky, Da Hei.

"Forget it, let him run if he wants..."

Ten miles away from Divine Phoenix Mountain, this forest was filled with lurking fierce beasts.

If the husky Da Hei was looking for death, then he deserved it; it was impossible for him to act as a babysitter...

...

In a corner of the forest.

The husky Da Hei gazed at the end of the road. After several days, his owner still hadn't returned, and only then did he realize that he had been abandoned.

He felt dejected.

He turned to look at the great mountain in the distance, his pupils filled with fear.

He dared not approach that mountain at all; the terrifying giant bird on its peak was actually able to communicate with him!

More importantly, he sensed a trace of a familiar scent coming from that Giant White Bird...

The husky breed was inherently clever, and with the enlightenment brought by spiritual energy, his intelligence was even more developed than that of ordinary creatures.

Therefore, once the husky was certain he had been abandoned by his owner, he began to wander through this forest.

The surrounding mountain forests were dense with lush greenery, home to a large number of wild creatures, and the spiritual energy content in the air was far higher than that of the city.

This caused the somewhat dejected husky to quickly perk up and become happy!

"Woof, woof, woof!"

He bounded through the forest!

He didn't stop until a massive gray figure blocked his path.

The two pairs of eyes, one large and one small, stared at each other for a long time.

The husky's face was filled with confusion—why did this fellow look so fierce?

The big gray wolf gazed at the "fellow" before him with puzzled, wild eyes; he kept feeling that the aura of this fellow was somewhat different from his own.

But when he tried to sense it carefully, he couldn't quite put his finger on what was different.
