175: Meeting acquaintances!

“The era of great contention is upon us!”

On the mountaintop, Xia Fan looked at his subordinates and said solemnly, “Anyone with ambition can find their own opportunities in this era, not to mention your strength is not weak!”

“If you can seize them well, you will surely achieve great things in the future!”

“So, go forth, each of you, and seek your own opportunities!”

After saying this, he took Magic Cat and intended to enter Mount Tai alone to meet the strong individuals who were about to stir up a storm.

After all, the impending battle here would be fierce, and it was not suitable to bring Ta Mu and King Kong, and their group of subordinates.

Moreover, there were also opportunities in other places, and Ta Mu and his group could make a name for themselves with their considerable strength.

“No matter where you go, Jiangnan and Yunxia Mountain will always be your greatest reliance!”

Leaving these words behind, Xia Fan departed with Magic Cat, leaving only a group of subordinates looking at each other in bewilderment.

After a long while, Ta Mu was the first to speak to the other fierce beasts, “His Majesty is right, this path, we must walk ourselves!”

“So let’s part ways here, I hope none of us will disgrace our boss’s name!”

“Goodbye!”

As his voice fell, he was the first to leave, and behind him came Mermaid Nami’s voice, “Ta Mu, wait for me!”

The other fierce beasts looked at each other, also chose to bid farewell, and then each headed in different directions—Southeast, Northwest—all alone.

Even though Ta Mu and Nami often bickered, they were still quite familiar with each other, so Nami chose to act together with Ta Mu… “Tiger Brother, this place is truly different!”

Inside Mount Tai, after Magic Cat followed Xia Fan in, she saw the vastness of Mount Tai and couldn’t help but exclaim.

Xia Fan, beside her, also nodded slightly in agreement, for the vastness of Mount Tai had exceeded his imagination; there were countless innate spiritual fruits within it, though these had only appeared after the great changes in the world.

“No wonder there are so many more fierce beasts of the third and fourth ranks now than before!”

Xia Fan finally understood the reason, and after a brief pause, he whispered to Magic Cat, “Let’s go, and meet the strong ones who emerged after this great change.”

“Mhm, mhm!”

… “Sister-in-law, Mount Tai is dangerous, you’d better not go in.”

In another part of Mount Tai, Monkey King and Yu Mian Fox had also arrived.

However, Monkey King was worried that Yu Mian Fox wouldn’t be able to cope here, as she was only at the late fourth rank.

“I’ll go in alone; after I seize the opportunity, I’ll come find you.”

The reason Monkey King said this was because he had a premonition that in this struggle, if one’s strength didn’t reach the fifth rank, going would only be cannon fodder, a pointless sacrifice!

Now, they relied on each other, and their feelings had deepened considerably.

Although Monkey King and Yu Mian Fox referred to each other as sister-in-law and younger brother-in-law, they were more concerned about each other’s safety than this familial relationship!

Rumble!

Not long after entering Mount Tai, Xia Fan sensed a fierce battle fluctuation; the booming sound, though from a distance, clearly reached his ears.

He looked up slightly and saw two enormous beings fighting fiercely on a distant peak, and beside them was a golden spiritual fruit.

Clearly, these two colossal beings were fighting over this item.

“Tiger Brother, aren’t we going to watch?”

Magic Cat saw that Xia Fan had no intention of going over and couldn’t help but be curious; the latter smiled faintly, “It’s just a golden spiritual fruit, let them fight over it.”

At this moment, Xia Fan had long lost interest in things of that level, so he simply pretended not to see it and continued on his way with Magic Cat.

Relying on his powerful soul perception ability, he headed towards the deepest part of Mount Tai.

That was where the innate spiritual fruit of Mount Tai was located!

“More strong individuals are coming!”

Around Xia Fan’s path, countless auras were also moving in the same direction as him. He sensed them briefly and found that many of these auras were of the fourth rank; compared to before the great changes in the world, their numbers had increased significantly.

He even sensed the presence of fifth-rank beings!

At this moment, a fifth-rank fierce beast also sensed Xia Fan’s presence and, lowering its voice, exclaimed with emotion, “It’s getting more and more exciting, but I wonder who will ultimately claim that innate spiritual fruit!”

“It’s just as I suspected; all the strong individuals know there’s a treasure deep within Mount Tai, and they’re all rushing there.”

At this point, Xia Fan murmured, but he wasn’t anxious, for he knew that the innate spiritual fruit had not yet fully emerged, and no one could break through the wind barrier surrounding it at this moment. “It’s good that they’re fighting; at least it can solve some troubles in advance.”

“Tiger Brother, should we keep an eye on those guys’ movements?”

Hearing Magic Cat’s words, Xia Fan shook his head slightly.

He noticed that ever since entering Mount Tai and realizing the presence of more and more fierce beast powerhouses, Magic Cat seemed a bit nervous, so he comforted her, “No need; among them, we don’t need to worry about the fourth-rank ones, and even fifth-rank ones may not gain an advantage against us.”

“Together, we are also extremely powerful among the fifth-rank, and ordinary fifth-rank fierce beasts can’t do anything to us.”

These words made Magic Cat smile happily, and then she cheerfully followed along.

The two of them moved very quickly through the mountain forest, and after about two days, they arrived outside an extremely high peak.

Looking around, there were groups of fierce beasts everywhere, each with glittering eyes, occasionally looking forward, their eyes revealing greed, but more so, wariness of the strong ones in the field.

As for human figures, none had been seen so far.

Upon arriving, Xia Fan found the atmosphere here extremely tense, fearing that a slight misstep could trigger a chaotic battle among the fierce beast groups. Therefore, he lowered his voice and said to Magic Cat, “Be careful; don’t move around casually at this time.”

Suddenly, he felt a hostile gaze, immediately scanned the area, and then was slightly surprised, his eyes revealing a sharp killing intent, “Monkey King?”

Not far from Xia Fan, Monkey King stood aloof, seemingly not in the company of any other fierce beasts.

At this moment, Xia Fan also made no secret of the killing intent and anger in his heart, especially since before, this guy had promised a fight to the death, but ended up using a clone to trick him.

This made him remember the incident.

“Hmph!”

Across from him, Monkey King also noticed Xia Fan, feeling very nervous, so he feigned toughness with a cold snort and turned his head away.

He wouldn’t leave at this time, but he also had no intention of engaging in another big battle with the Tiger King, especially since there weren’t just two fifth-rank powerhouses here.

The most striking among them was a massive Mahamayuri circling in the air.

That being was the recently infamous Mahamayuri!
