Spiritual Energy Revival: Transform Into a Divine Phoenix, Automatically Upgrade

57: Chapter 57 The Golden Lion King! The Demise of Yang’an VillageThe two truck drivers standing outside the crowd watched the argument between the old folks and the media crew quietly.

Something felt wrong in their hearts.

They had a good impression of the reporter and the camera crew, feeling they didn’t seem like they were trying to fool the elderly, yet the firm attitude of the old people made them start doubting whether there were really any large beasts around.

As for believing, like the old folks, that large beasts didn’t exist, that was impossible; their truck cargo hold was currently containing a group of demonic large beasts.

”Brother Zhang... do you think there are really any large predators in the outskirts of Jianghai City...”

”Who cares if there are or not! We have to try! I’ll be damned if I believe this nonsense! Even if there really are beasts in the outskirts of Jianghai City as the online rumors say, we won’t be unlucky enough to run into them!”

Dark-skinned Old Wang gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.

There were only two paths before them now: either turn back and find new buyers, or take a gamble and cross the highway in the outskirts of Jianghai City.

There were too many accidents on the way back... they had to take the gamble!

Gamble it all, and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!

”Let’s go... Old Wang, let’s get back to the truck...”

”Alright, Brother Zhang...”

”Roar!!!”

Just as the two were preparing to sneak away, a violent roar came from outside the village!

A few seconds later, after the old folks of Yangguan Village reacted, they immediately started cursing!

”Fine! I didn’t expect you unscrupulous city folk to actually use this method to try and trick us into leaving Yangguan Village! Not a chance!”

”Exactly! You guys are idiots too! The roar was indeed scary, but there was only one, you should have prepared more...”

”Heh... these city folk haven’t eaten as much salt as I’ve walked paths!”

”Do you really think we villagers are stupid?”

”We won’t fall for your tricks!”

Facing the cursing from the old folks of Yangguan Village, Reporter Wang Xiaoli and the camera crew were completely bewildered.

They looked at each other, faces full of confusion.

When did they ever prepare this terrifying roar?

Besides, they hadn’t driven all the way here this time, but had used a helicopter precisely because they were afraid of encountering beasts on this road.

They had just arrived at the village; how would they have had time to set up such things?

”That means... there are beasts approaching the village!”

Reporter Wang Xiaoli exclaimed in shock!

She immediately shouted, ”Everyone, elders of the village, hurry and find a safe place to hide!”

”The beasts might really be entering the village!”

But the old folks continued to look at them with a ”seen-through” expression of disdain, as if they were watching clowns.

Reporter Wang Xiaoli couldn’t help but tremble; having survived a beast tide once, she was exceptionally sensitive to the scent of beasts, and her intuition told her that danger was about to descend!

”Quick! Start the helicopter!”

”Hurry! Otherwise, there won’t be enough time!”

The helicopter pilot, startled by the sharp command, saw that Reporter Wang Xiaoli didn’t seem to be joking and immediately scrambled into the helicopter.

The helicopter’s propellers began to spin rapidly...

”Heh, these city folk are acting really well...”

”Could they be a group of actors...”

The watching old folks continued to voice their sarcasm.

On the other side, two figures were running rapidly in the opposite direction of the village entrance.

After hearing the beast’s roar, the two had run away immediately.

As for why they didn’t warn the villagers, it was because they were afraid of wasting time that they could use to escape.

Because they knew that if those demons got out, likely not a single person in this village would survive.

”Old Wang, hurry up... the demonic beasts in the cargo hold must have been released...”

”Brother Zhang! Look ahead!”

Dark-skinned Old Wang cried out, his figure stopping as he stared straight ahead, as if he had seen something terrifying.

The other person also stopped running and looked ahead.

On the road in front of them appeared two nimble, slender, light-yellow figures.

Their mouths revealed fangs several centimeters long, still stained with bright red blood, and the beautiful eyes of the felines reflected a green light as they stared straight at them.

That look was the look of looking at prey!

It was two lionesses!

”How could these two lionesses appear here... the truck is clearly at the village entrance!”

Seeing the greed and hatred in the green eyes of the lionesses, the two were shocked!

These two lionesses knew them!

They might have come here on purpose to block the exit!

”Roar!”

”Ah...”

In the center of the village square, the helicopter’s propellers roared like a violent wind, tearing through the air.

Reporter Wang Xiaoli’s body trembled uncontrollably with increasing intensity, her face turning pale.

She immediately scrambled into the helicopter, and only then did her panicked mood calm down slightly.

The surrounding air was filled with a piercing chill.

The camera crew also realized something, their expressions shifting, and they immediately scrambled into the helicopter.

”Everyone, fellow villagers! The situation is really not right, everyone please leave here quickly!”

Reporter Wang Xiaoli shouted with all her might!

Her expression was filled with panic!

Her inner intuition became increasingly uneasy!

”Heh... these city folk can’t keep acting, so they want to run...”

”I saw through everything long ago; these little brats still want to trick me?”

”Forget about beasts, even if a tiger came, I could still take its tiger penis to drink with my wine!”

”Ah!!! Lions!!!”

A shout attracted everyone’s attention!

Looking in the direction of the voice, five lions the size of water buffaloes appeared not far from the crowd!

Their massive size, their green-glowing eyes filled with greedy desire, especially the leader, which was a male lion even larger than the surrounding lionesses!

Its golden body and the dense golden mane around its neck were majestic and extraordinary, like an ancient god from Greek mythology!

It made a title pop into everyone’s mind—Golden Lion King!

The pride of lions was bathed in fresh red blood, making them look like demons returned from hell!

”Roar!!!”

Following a deafening roar from the Golden Lion King, the pride of lions moved!

They charged rapidly toward the location!

”Ah! Run!”

”Get out of here!”

The clamoring voices of the old folks from just a moment ago vanished completely, and they fled in all directions in a flash.

But they were, after all, elderly humans; how could their speed compare to a starving pride of lions!

”Ah!!!”

In a matter of seconds, blood began to flow on the ground, and the sounds of the lion pride chewing as they fed, along with the painful wails of humans, rang out incessantly.

As large felines, lions do not have the habit of killing their prey before eating; they prefer to eat them alive...

Within a few minutes, the previously lively square had turned into a hellish scene: severed limbs and remains, fragments of internal organs, white human skulls, and some broken ribs...

In the face of the lion pride’s formidable hunting prowess, everyone in the village was brutally killed.

The helicopter in the sky had ascended early to avoid disaster, and Reporter Wang Xiaoli and her colleagues stared down at the messy, cruel ground below.

Everyone was trembling, fighting back a strong urge to vomit.

Suddenly, Reporter Wang Xiaoli’s pupils dilated!

”There is still a baby down there!”

The Golden Lion King simultaneously noticed this delicious little snack...
