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

67: Chapter 67 The Lion King’s Might! CrisisIn the mountains and forests, a group of people were rapidly heading in one direction.

Many animals in the dense forest nearby watched them with confusion, then followed them until they reached the location, their eyes filled with fear, and they turned around and left decisively.

The Assault Company tracked the bloodstains all the way, soon arriving at a vast shrubbery.

”This is a very suitable environment for a lion pride to live in...”

”This is likely the pride’s territory. Everyone, be careful.”

”Yes.”

That lioness who had defied the hail of bullets—here, there was an entire pride, and even a more powerful and terrifying Male Lion.

At the thought of this, the hundred soldiers present were all very nervous.

They gradually slowed their pace, maintaining a single-file formation as they groped forward in the direction of the bloodstains.

The Captain Company Commander walked over to Reporter Wang Xiaoli and instructed her.

”Reporter comrade, for the sake of your safety, in a moment you will take the cameraman to the distant hillside. Rest assured, I will have Soldier Da Niu and Er Hu accompany and protect you.”

The cameraman, Xiao Li, who was holding the camera, was somewhat confused.

”Captain, why is that? If we do that, we won’t be able to clearly film the Assault Company’s heroic battle scenes...”

He turned his head to look at the silent Reporter Wang Xiaoli, ”Reporter Wang, don’t you agree?”

Reporter Wang Xiaoli did not respond to his call, but instead looked at the Captain Company Commander with a solemn expression.

”Captain, you must be careful. I can feel an aura of death here... That aura is extremely powerful; it might be the aura radiating from the Male Lion in the pride. That Male Lion might be even more powerful than the Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle on Divine Phoenix Mountain!”

”Can’t we retreat... That soldier might already be dead by now.”

The Captain Company Commander nodded steadily, ”I know. Perhaps our comrade has unfortunately perished, but we must avenge him!”

”Even if that Male Lion is powerful and dangerous, our hundred-man Assault Company must eliminate him sooner rather than later. Otherwise, once he disappears into our human world, he will surely become a scourge to our Great Xia.”

Speaking of this, his eyes, which were already firm, revealed an even more resolute expression.

”Even if our entire Assault Company is wiped out, we must exterminate this group of man-eating, mutated lions here!”

Reporter Wang Xiaoli looked at the faces of the surrounding soldiers; their faces also bore resolute expressions, without the slightest fear of the powerful pride.

Respect appeared on her face.

”Alright... I wish you and the Captain a complete success in your mission...”

She took the cameraman Xiao Li and walked towards the distant high slope.

”Wait, Soldier Da Niu, Er Hu.”

”If we sacrifice ourselves this time, remember to help us go back and check on our families.”

”Understood, Company Commander!”

Millions of viewers in Jianghai City watched this scene, somewhat confused.

”Isn’t it just a pride composed of seven lions? Why act like it’s a life-and-death farewell...”

”Exactly, the hundred-man Assault Company is too timid!”

Many viewers in the live stream room had not noticed the sneak attack of the lioness last night. Although the timing chosen was just when everyone had relaxed after repelling the beast tide, the explosive speed displayed to successfully launch a sneak attack under the eyes of a hundred soldiers left them completely unable to react.

Now there were five such lionesses in this shrubbery, and even a more powerful, unknown Male Lion. This mission would definitely result in casualties for the Assault Company...

”Stop yapping. If you have the ability, go to the suburbs yourselves. Don’t just stand there and make sarcastic remarks!”

”These are soldiers protecting our lives. You should still show some decency in your speech!”

”Indeed... The pride might be even more powerful than we imagined...”

Reporter Wang Xiaoli, the cameraman, and the two soldiers had already reached the distant hillside.

At this moment, the high number of millions of viewers in the live stream, and the countless barrage comments, were all ignored by Reporter Wang Xiaoli.

Fortunately, the camera had a high-definition zoom lens, and standing here, they could still clearly see the situation of the Assault Company in the distance.

Watching the figures of the soldiers exploring the shrubbery on the screen, an aura of death lingered in her heart.

”I hope nothing happens...”

”ROAR!!!”

Suddenly, a roar as loud as thunder rang out! The camera lens turned immediately!

A massive golden figure appeared on the screen, that massive figure almost filling the entire lens frame!

The camera quickly auto-focused, and the massive golden figure was exposed in the lens.

It was actually the Male Lion in the pride!

That massive body was practically like a large truck; standing up, humans were like infants in front of him!

A body over eight meters long! It was simply a monster from Greek mythology!

In the very first encounter, five or six soldiers were blasted dozens of meters away, falling to the ground unconscious.

Moreover, the massive Golden Lion King did not stop moving. He opened his abyss-like mouth over half a meter long, instantly engulfing a soldier and swallowing him into his belly.

A look of enjoyment appeared on his mane-surrounded face; he felt that he had become even stronger...

These actions of the Golden Lion King, including his abrupt appearance, happened in just a few seconds. The assault soldiers at close range were frightened silly by the massive, monster-like lion before them.

That heart-palpitating, panic-inducing aura, combined with his massive size, left them with a feeling of weightless powerlessness.

The Captain Company Commander widened his eyes, biting his lip to snap out of it.

”Brothers, don’t just stand there like idiots! Open fire!”

”Yes!”

The many soldiers of the Assault Company heard the shout, reacted, and immediately raised their guns to aim.

”DA DA DA!!!”

The dense firepower formed a fine-meshed net, enveloping the Golden Lion King!

CLANG CLANG CLANG!!!

Accompanied by sparks erupting all over the Golden Lion King’s body, crisp clanging sounds rang out...

He was actually completely unharmed!

This simply made the hundred soldiers present doubt the reality before them!

”Am I dreaming...”

”Does such an invulnerable creature really exist on Blue Star...”

CRACK!

The Assault Company was stunned, but the Golden Lion King was not. A crisp, cracking sound awakened everyone.

It turned out that the Golden Lion King continued his gluttonous feast, opening his bloody maw to swallow another soldier, and was now chewing the delicacy in his mouth with an expression of enjoyment.

His brown pupils, like small suns, reflected an eerie red glow in the sunlight. Anyone stared at by these massive, blood-red eyes felt their minds fall into a blank, system-crash state.

On the distant hillside.

Reporter Wang Xiaoli, the cameraman Xiao Li, and the two soldiers watched the screen, trembling all over.

”This is no lion... This is simply a devil from hell!”

”Quick, go tell the Captain Company Commander to retreat! Your current weapons cannot destroy this monster Male Lion at all!”

Reporter Wang Xiaoli said, her face pale, her legs trembling.

The two soldiers had the same thought, but suddenly, several more roars came from the distance.

Cameraman Xiao Li immediately shifted the lens; it turned out that a group of lionesses had appeared on the scene!

The lionesses appeared from different directions; the pride had surrounded the soldier company!

Reporter Wang Xiaoli looked at the screen before her, her body going limp as she collapsed to the ground.

”It’s over... It’s all over. We are all going to die here...”
