21: Tianyuan fruit tree! Purple crystal lion king!

“Good, your arrangements are very correct!”

Upon hearing this news, the Commander nodded with great satisfaction, a wide smile on his face.

His gaze remained fixed on the golden fruit tree in the video feed. At this moment, he seemed somewhat uneasy and continued to admonish, “This spiritual treasure appears to be extraordinary, so it absolutely cannot fall into the hands of fierce beasts!”

“No matter what means we use, we must seize it!”

“Yes!”

Upon hearing this order, the officers immediately stood up, saluted the Commander, and gave a solemn assurance.

They dared to do this not out of a moment of impulsiveness, taking up arms to fight fierce beasts.

Not long ago, Professor Professor Xia Xinyu’s formula for the 強化藥劑 (Strengthening Potion) had been made public. Although the early process of hunting fierce beasts was full of hardships and many people sacrificed their lives, it was all worth it.

Because with the formula for the Strengthening Potion, coupled with the crystals and bloodline genes obtained from hunting fierce beasts, they could cultivate their own human ability users.

Currently, Tianning City also had its own special ability user combat team, and working together, they could completely deal with ordinary fierce beasts.

After a moment of thought, the Commander reiterated, “Remember, this time, let the Special Ability Combat Team act directly. We must seize this spiritual treasure!”

“Only by doing so can we continue to fight against fierce beasts and suppress the speed at which they grow stronger!”

“Yes, we obey the order!”

Soon, a special combat team composed of human ability users immediately departed from the Tianning City base, their target—the golden fruit tree!

...“Tiger Brother, are we there yet?”

At this moment, the Magic Cat saw Xia Fan stop, his tiger eyes surveying the surroundings, and couldn't help but communicate with him.

Upon learning this news, Xia Fan nodded slightly, responding, “Yes, we are almost there.”

There was a hint of emotion in Xia Fan’s words.

After he killed that pack of wild wolves, he spent most of the day, continuously killing a large number of fierce beasts along the way, before finally bringing the Magic Cat to the depths of the Great Wilderness Mountain Range.

However, the Magic Cat, apart from merging with him to fight enemies, usually just lay on his back, so it didn't expend much effort.

Xia Fan sensed the Magic Cat’s eagerness to act, so he quickly conveyed a message, “Don’t rush, let’s first figure out the situation here.”

“There’s a powerful fierce beast here. If we rush in carelessly, we’ll be the ones to suffer.”

“Are you talking about the guy under that fruit tree?”

Xia Fan looked up, following the direction, and saw a golden light shimmering on a mountain peak. A golden fruit tree stood proudly, looking quite extraordinary.

This golden fruit tree was, of course, the tian yuan fruit tree!

And next to the fruit tree lay the massive creature that the Magic Cat had seen.

It was a huge fierce beast, with a body seven to eight meters long, covered in a layer of purple crystals, like gemstones.

Under the sunlight, the purple crystals radiated brilliance, looking quite dazzling and difficult to look at directly.

The head of this fierce beast was a rather ferocious lion’s head, and its blood-red eyes contained beast pupils that glowed with a strange purple light.

The giant beast’s mouth was filled with sharp fangs, seemingly capable of tearing apart anything with a single bite.

Especially, on the giant beast’s lion head, there was also a fiery red spiral horn.

“This guy, is he the Amethyst Lion King…?”

Xia Fan clearly saw the appearance of the enormous fierce beast and couldn't help but sigh.

The Amethyst Lion King was simply a born king. As soon as it appeared, it exerted a superior pressure on other fierce beasts.

Xia Fan believed that the Amethyst Lion King was able to rest peacefully under the tian yuan fruit tree at this moment only after a fierce struggle, successfully intimidating the other fierce beasts, and thus dominating the tian yuan fruit tree.

He still remembered that in his previous life, this Amethyst Lion King was a famous King-level fierce beast, and by relying on the tian yuan fruit tree, it had built a powerful fierce beast army, thereby dominating one region, and was incredibly majestic.

“Aren’t we going over?”

The Magic Cat let out a very soft meow, like a murmur.

However, the tiger and the cat could communicate smoothly at this moment, so Xia Fan understood its meaning.

He shook his head slightly, responding with a roar, “No rush. We need to first ascertain the Amethyst Lion King’s strength before acting. It’s not too late.”

“If we just rush over recklessly, not to mention seizing the tian yuan fruit tree, even our lives might not be preserved.”

The Magic Cat stopped talking.

It was quiet for a while, then suddenly meowed a few times.

“Tiger Brother, then…should I go take a look?”

“I’m small, and I’m very fast. As long as I don’t make a huge commotion, the Amethyst Lion King definitely won’t discover me.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Fan couldn't help but ponder.

Currently, they were still some distance from the mountain peak. Although they could sense the Amethyst Lion King’s aura from this place, it was very faint and appeared and disappeared intermittently, making it impossible to ascertain the opponent’s true strength.

“If the Magic Cat goes to take a look…”

Xia Fan thought of this, turned his head slightly, looked at the eager Magic Cat, then nodded and let out a soft roar.

“Go, but be careful not to be discovered.”

“I’ll approach cautiously from behind.”

“Once you know the Amethyst Lion King’s specific strength, come back immediately.”

“Okay.”

Instantly, a ball of purple light flew out, clinging tightly to the ground, but without making too much noise.

Seeing this, Xia Fan felt a little relieved, then lowered his body and slowly approached the Amethyst Lion King.

About fifteen minutes later, the Magic Cat returned, immediately suppressing its meows with impatience.

“I’ve figured it out. That Amethyst Lion King’s strength has reached the late first-tier, not much weaker than you.”

“Is that so?”

Xia Fan’s expression tightened. He thought that the King-level fierce beast famous in his previous life was indeed extraordinary, but this Amethyst Lion King had clearly consumed some kind of spiritual treasure to possess such strength.

“Meow meow meow—”

Seeing Xia Fan remain silent, the Magic Cat occasionally looked at the tian yuan fruit tree, then at Xia Fan, meowing excitedly and impatiently asking when they could start acting.

The temptation of the tian yuan fruit tree was simply too great!

Moreover, it believed that with its help, Xia Fan could completely defeat the Amethyst Lion King.

“Don’t worry, as long as you help me seize the tian yuan fruit tree, I will definitely share it with you!”

Xia Fan growled at the Magic Cat, quickly coming up with a way to deal with the Amethyst Lion King without harming the tian yuan fruit tree. “Little fellow, you go hide to the side first, try to avoid revealing your aura, and don’t stray too far from me.”

“I’ll lure the Amethyst Lion King over first.”

“Once it leaves the tian yuan fruit tree, you and I will immediately strike and finish the fight quickly!”
