19: The powerful auxiliary ability of the magic cat!

In the Great Wilderness Mountain Range, Xia Fan and the Magic Cat, a tiger and a cat, merely paused briefly before heading directly deeper into the mountain range, chasing after the location of the tian yuan fruit tree.

Before he had gone far, Xia Fan saw a fierce beast blocking his path, and as soon as it saw him, it shot a water arrow at him.

It looked like it was determined to fight to the death.

“Hmph! Petty tricks!”

Seeing this, Xia Fan snorted disdainfully in his heart.

He shattered the incoming water arrow with a single paw, and before the obstructing fierce beast could react, he rushed forward and crushed it with a single claw!

They did not stop their advance because of this.

Soon after, another fierce beast emerged from the bushes, blocking their way.

Xia Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, discovering it was a two-meter-tall, imposing mountain pheasant covered in vibrant feathers.

“Caw caw caw—”

As soon as it appeared, the mountain pheasant let out a piercing cry, then suddenly flapped its wings and charged forward!

Seeing this, Xia Fan stood still, unmoving, as if scared witless.

The mountain pheasant’s confidence surged, and when it was about three meters from Xia Fan, it suddenly leaped up, its sharp talons extended, seemingly intent on tearing him to shreds.

Bang!

The next second, Xia Fan extended a sharp claw and swiped it out lightly.

Pfft!

With just one strike, the mountain pheasant was sent flying by the tiger’s paw, and before it even hit the ground, its body was torn into two halves, then twitched a few times before falling silent.

Xia Fan skillfully extracted the mountain pheasant’s crystal, didn’t even glance at it, and directly tossed it to the Magic Cat behind him.

“Meow!”

Immediately, the Magic Cat let out a joyful cry, happily catching the crystal, and then swallowed it in one gulp.

The strength of these fierce beasts was not high, and the crystals within them were even lower in power, so Xia Fan didn’t care for them.

“Roar—”

At this moment, he let out a low roar, meaning to tell the Magic Cat, “Follow big brother, and you’ll benefit!”

“Meow meow!”

The Magic Cat was indeed in a great mood, letting out continuous joyful cries.

It was inherently a bit mischievous and lazy, usually only provoking fierce beasts to tease them, with no intention of taking their crystals.

Now, without doing anything, it continuously received crystals, and it couldn’t express how happy it was.

Because of this, its attitude towards Xia Fan also became increasingly affectionate.

“Meow!”

Before the mountain pheasant’s crystal was even digested, the Magic Cat transformed into a purple light and lay on Xia Fan’s back, its meaning seemingly to say, “Thank you, big brother, for the crystal!”

After a cry, it stretched out its head and affectionately rubbed against Xia Fan, expressing its inner joy and gratitude.

“Good! My choice was indeed correct!”

Xia Fan was instantly overjoyed, and his gaze towards the Magic Cat became increasingly gentle.

He knew that this little cat was gradually becoming dependent on him, and its successful subjugation would soon be within reach!

“Roar!”

At this moment, he let out an excited roar.

What the Magic Cat heard was this: “Little fellow, I didn’t lie to you before, did I? As long as you follow me, you’ll have plenty of benefits in the future!”

His response was another affectionate rub from the Magic Cat, along with a few soft meows.

Xia Fan possessed the ability to devour, which allowed him to absorb many other abilities, making his combat power terrifying. If he could gain the Magic Cat’s assistance in the future, it would be an even greater enhancement.

And the price for all this was merely some low-level crystals that he had no use for.

This deal, for him, was an absolute windfall!

“Roar roar! (Let’s go!)”

Then, he let out two low roars and continued deeper into the Great Wilderness Mountain Range with the Magic Cat.

By now, the blood rain had been falling for a while, and the wild beasts in the mountains and forests had basically completed their evolution.

The deeper they went into the Great Wilderness Mountain Range, the stronger the fierce beasts Xia Fan encountered became, and he would occasionally encounter fierce beasts of the first-order mid-stage.

“Originally, my journey was monotonous.”

Xia Fan walked, occasionally glancing at the Magic Cat beside him, feeling very emotional in his heart.

“But with this little fellow joining, even though it doesn’t need to help kill fierce beasts, at least I have a companion, and it’s not so dull all the time.”

He found that even though he was now a fierce beast, he still couldn’t get used to living alone in a short amount of time.

The Magic Cat’s appearance happened to make up for this.

After hearing the meaning in his roar, the Magic Cat began to happily circle around him, occasionally rushing ahead or playing around, in high spirits.

“Meow…”

Soon after, the Magic Cat stopped, returned to Xia Fan’s side very cautiously, and let out a warning cry.

“Roar? (You mean there are fierce beasts ahead, and more than one?)”

“Meow meow!”

Receiving a positive response, Xia Fan immediately stopped, his tiger eyes sharpening as he looked around.

Rustle—

Sure enough, the next second, a noticeably larger grey wolf appeared in their sight.

Xia Fan merely cast a glance, causing the grey wolf to instinctively retreat, fear appearing in its eyes.

But immediately after, more and more wild wolves appeared from the surrounding bushes.

He roughly counted them and found there were over a dozen, and each one bared its teeth at him and the Magic Cat, with intense hostility constantly emanating from them.

Wolves are pack animals; they always move in groups, whether for hunting or migration.

In Xia Fan’s sight, this pack of wolves had basically completed their evolution, and their evolved abilities were all similar, mastering the ability to breathe fire.

Boom—

One of the grey wolves, somewhat agitated, instantly spewed flames, igniting the nearby weeds.

Xia Fan’s expression was incredibly calm. Seeing the pack of wild wolves approaching him, he immediately let out a low roar, warning them to quickly back away.

However, this pack of wild wolves no longer retreated.

Among the pack, there was also an alpha wolf, over three meters long and about one and a half meters tall, crouching low, appearing in their sight.

“Awooo—”

As the roar of this alpha wolf, already a first-order fierce beast, erupted, the pack of wolves swiftly charged forward, determined to take down Xia Fan.

“Hmph! A bunch of arrogant fools!”

Seeing this, Xia Fan snorted heavily in his heart, completely unafraid.

He now possessed numerous abilities and was at the late stage of first-order cultivation; this pack of wild wolves couldn’t do anything to him!

“Meow~”

Just then, the Magic Cat, seeing him being bullied by so many wild wolves, immediately let out an angry cry, then transformed into a purple light and drilled into Xia Fan’s body!

Instantly, Xia Fan suddenly felt his power rapidly surge, actually reaching the level of a second-order fierce beast!

At once, Xia Fan was overjoyed, and he couldn’t help but think, “Is this the powerful auxiliary ability of the Magic Cat?”
