That roar, unlike that of any other beast, lacked the ear-splitting intensity, yet possessed extreme penetrative power, audible even from a great distance.
The live stream's barrage of comments, initially a dense wall, suddenly fell silent.
Over ten million netizens were, in this moment, utterly stunned. It was a sound they had never heard before, peculiar and strange, and even through the screen, it sent a shiver down their spines, instilling a sense of fear.
The next instant, the live stream exploded once again.
(⊙ˍ⊙) What the hell was that sound?!
Guys? Did you hear that terrifying roar, or is my signal bad and it's just static? Da Feng Novel Network
sigma;(っdeg;Дdeg;;)っ Bullshit static! I heard it too, it sounded like it came from that volcano!!
Holy cow! That sound is exactly like the dinosaurs I watched when I was younger!!!
WTF! WTF WTF! Brother Ye, did you perhaps raise a dinosaur??
ROAR!!!
Gou Dan, Xiao Fantuan, and the others, who had been relaxed and cheerful, immediately became alert upon hearing the thunderous noise and the roar. They instinctively bared their fangs and claws, ready to fight at any moment.
Bai Ye gazed at the volcano, his eyes focused.
Is this fellow about to emerge?
He quickly deduced that the rumbling sounds were likely from fearless individuals who had their sights set on the treasures within his ranch and had trespassed. And that enraged growl was probably the presence he intended to investigate tonight.
How will Elder Song and his group handle this?
Bai Ye did not intervene immediately, nor did he respond to the netizens' questions, observing quietly.
During his last meeting with Elder Song, though not explicitly stated, he had a strong inkling that while the authorities hadn't deployed troops here, they had made other arrangements.
He was waiting for the official response. He also wanted to see if the authorities were willing to disclose these mutated animals.
Up until now, the authorities had largely turned a blind eye to his live streams, allowing them to continue unchecked. But he understood there was a limit, just like the rat infestation in Modu; Elder Song had forbidden live broadcasting then.
Over at the volcano, the growl slowly faded. The live stream, however, remained in an uproar, with comments flooding the screen.
At the estuary of the Huaxia River, Mingdao Military Region. Elder Song received the news immediately.
In the capital, the power center of Da Xia, Yanhuang Sea. Liu Qinmin, the leader of Da Xia, long past seventy, possessed a kindly demeanor but his eyes held a depth like the abyss.
Disaster-level fierce beast activity detected in Wo Jiao Mountain Range!
The message came from the Information Department.
Gazing at Bai Ye's live stream on the massive display in his office, Leader Liu Qinmin slightly furrowed his brow.
Leader, Commander Song is on the line.
His secretary reported urgently.
Connect.
In the Wo Jiao Mountain Range, the green lake within the volcano's crater churned violently.
ROAR!!!
CRUNCH CRUNCH!!!
The fierce beasts surrounding the green lake also roared in anger, surging out of the crater at an alarming speed.
The giant black tiger, as big as a small truck, had already reached the crater in the blink of an eye.
CRUNCH CRUNCH~
Within the forest, trees snapped and toppled. A monstrous black and red spider emerged, followed by countless smaller spiders. These "small" spiders were the size of one's hand, while the larger ones were nearly as big as a small car!
WHOOSH~
A colossal white figure leaped from the forest, followed by several white shadows. They were capable of treading on the treetops as they charged towards the outside of the crater.
One by one, enormous and terrifying fierce beasts burst forth from the volcano, carrying a chilling killing intent.
MOO!
The great black ox at the foot of the mountain, startled by the low growl from the summit, snapped awake. Its massive ox eyes, engorged with blood from anger, cleared instantly.
Moments ago, several rocket-propelled grenades had narrowly missed it. Under normal circumstances, elsewhere, it would never have let such an offense go unanswered. But now, it fled without a backward glance.
In an instant, it vanished through several thickets, making its escape.
And in the forest behind it, the gunfire had also ceased.
What was that sound just now??
Did it come from the volcano? What kind of monster was that??
That terrifying great black ox seemed very afraid of whatever was on the mountain.
The remaining twenty-odd poachers, unable to breathe a sigh of relief, gazed nervously at the mountain forest.
The muffled roars from the summit sent shivers down their spines, filling them with extreme unease.
Captain, the situation is dire! The monsters on the mountain are probably more terrifying than that great black ox we just encountered; this is beyond our expectations!
Captain, our weapons are useless against them! We should run too!
Wiggins and Weasel ran to the captain's side, their faces etched with fear.
AHHH!! I don't care anymore!
Run!
We need to be alive to spend the money we make!
Hearing the commotion on the mountain growing closer, the other surviving poachers, sensing impending doom, could no longer sit still and scrambled down the mountain.
These Da Xia people! Damn them!!!
Watching his men flee for their lives, Wiggins was both angry and anxious. Weasel also wanted to run.
Captain!!
The tattooed captain looked somewhat unwilling as he was about to speak.
Above, from the jungle where the great black ox had just emerged, a massive dark shadow surged out at incredible speed.
ROAR!!!!
