[Ding~! White Tiger Divine Might skill proficiency +998 million! (5556 million/10 billion)]
A moment later, a system notification sounded in Cang Nian's mind.
For Cangnian, a fifth-tier savage beast with no special abilities and whose race was merely a wolf was no different from killing a chicken.
However, such a large prey should naturally be used properly.
Therefore, he didn't even use his true form; he simply killed it easily in his concealed state.
In this way, you can obtain the system proficiency corresponding to your weight.
Unfortunately, this creature is relatively small among fifth-order evolved beings, weighing less than a thousand tons.
But no matter what, this is a fifth-tier savage beast, and the evolution factors it contains are enough to support an evolved creature to break through to the fifth tier!
This is the biggest gain!
But what Cangnian didn't know was how much of an impact his easy killing of the fifth-tier wolf leader had on everyone present except Bai Jue and Yi Chen, as well as the big black dog!
A fifth-tier savage beast capable of annihilating their entire city was instantly killed?
Just how terrifying is the strength of this white tiger that looks only the size of an ordinary tiger?
The only thing that could reassure them slightly was that Cangnian seemed to be on Baijue's side and showed no hostility.
Moreover, if Cangnian is hostile, their vigilance will be useless.
The gap is too big.
The little sable beside them skillfully put the wolf leader's still-warm corpse into its storage space.
Incidentally, they used a spatial gate to strangle the remaining wolves one by one and collected the corpses of the fourth-tier giant wolves.
As for the third-tier ones, let's leave them to the survivors of this city!
It's not that Little Sable is some kind of saint, but at this stage, Tier 3 evolved meat is no longer of much value.
Currently, there are no more second-tier evolved beings in the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom. Even ordinary people have mostly reached the third tier in terms of physical strength.
Tier 3 evolved meat is already the staple food of the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom. It can be hunted everywhere near the Ark, so there is absolutely no need to store it in the storage space and take up space.
This scene left everyone in awe for quite some time.
"Which city is this? Who's in charge?"
After dealing with the enemy and collecting the spoils, Cangnian led Little Sable, Yichen, and Baijue to the city wall, looked around at the survivors, and asked.
"It spoke! It spoke!"
"Is this a monster or a deity? The tiger can actually talk!"
"What monsters or gods? They must be evolved creatures of a higher level than the fourth rank!"
It can instantly kill a fifth-tier enemy, maybe even a sixth-tier one!
"Sixth rank...that's too amazing!"
What kind of miraculous elixir would I need to eat to be so much faster than other evolved creatures?
……
Upon hearing Cangnian speak in human language, the crowd on the city wall erupted in a flurry of excited chatter.
"Reporting to the Mountain God, this is Quancheng. I am Qu Qinghe, the twenty-fifth patriarch of the Qu family in Quancheng. I have some reputation here and am temporarily in charge of all kinds of trivial matters."
At this moment, an old man with gray hair, wearing a Zhongshan suit, but with a rather robust physique, stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and said...
Throughout the entire country, tigers are respectfully addressed as either "Mountain God" or "Mountain Lord".
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian's gaze shifted back and forth, and seeing that no one objected, he began to believe it to some extent.
"Isn't your place quite close to the capital?"
"The first spiritual energy resurgence tide, why didn't you run to the capital when there was an earthquake?"
Bai Jue, who was standing to the side, interjected and asked a question.
This was what she was most curious about.
Her face was still flushed. She was still excited about how she managed to hold out for so long against the fifth-tier beast and outmaneuver it.
“Our ancestral hall is here, how can we possibly seek refuge in the capital?”
However, those younger generations were without lineage or clan, lawless and undisciplined, and ran off to the capital to seek refuge at a young age; they were simply unfilial descendants!
"It's pitiful and lamentable that only we old folks are left here to hold out!"
The old man, Qu Qinghe, tilted his nose and spoke with a tone of disappointment and frustration.
Hearing this, Cang Nian raised his head and scanned the faces of the survivors. He found that the vast majority of them were middle-aged and elderly people over forty years old, and there were very few young people.
Thinking of the rich clan culture of Luzhou, Cang Nian understood.
"Huh? Just because of this, you don't want to go to the capital? Aren't you afraid of dying?"
But when Bai Jue heard this, her eyes widened in disbelief.
In the three northeastern prefectures, clan culture is not strong. Most families have only one child, and the children know their grandparents at most, but they don't care much about more distant relatives.
So when she heard that some people were unwilling to leave with the main group because of the so-called ancestral hall, she felt like she was listening to a story.
"What is there to fear in death? If our ancestors knew that we had abandoned our ancestral hall and fled to distant lands, we would rather be buried in our hometown!"
The old man, Qu Qinghe, was quite tough.
But this stubbornness was meaningless and even incomprehensible to Bai Jue.
"No wonder there are so few evolved beings like you, they've all run away!"
"It's good that the young people ran away, otherwise if they stayed here and died with you, we'd truly be childless!"
Bai Jue curled her lip and scoffed at the old man's strange idea.
Whether one awakens during the first spiritual energy revival tide depends more on luck.
However, there are still some patterns to it.
For example, creatures that are already powerful are more likely to awaken into evolved creatures.
Take the Cangnian family for example; all of them have evolved. The proportion of evolution among the tigers in the forest is also very high, far exceeding that of humans.
In addition, individuals who are in their prime are more likely to awaken to this reality.
While some elderly people do awaken supernatural abilities, the number is far fewer than that of young people.
For example, in the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom, more than 70% of the evolved individuals are between the ages of 18 and 35.
Of the remaining 30%, 25% are minors under the age of 18, and only 0.5% are middle-aged and elderly people over the age of 35.
Evolvers like Qin Changyi, who awaken in their forties or fifties, are actually a very small minority.
The same applies to evolved organisms. The highest proportion of awakening occurs in young and middle-aged organisms, and a significant proportion also occurs in adolescents. Only in old and frail individuals is the probability of awakening extremely low.
Therefore, although he didn't speak, Cangnian's opinion of the survivors here was similar to Bai Jue's.
Only the living can ensure the continuation of the bloodline.
What's the use of maintaining a ancestral hall well when all the living people are gone?
Without living people to remember them, these things will eventually be forgotten in the long river of history.
