23: Humans take action! War breaks out!

At this moment, the mountaintop was bustling with activity!

The ferocious beasts that had arrived finally couldn't hold back. Like moths drawn to a flame, they continuously charged towards the mountaintop, attempting to control the tian yuan fruit tree, but all were mercilessly killed by the Amethyst Lion King.

The giant wolf and giant python had already reached the mountaintop, barely ten meters from the tian yuan fruit tree, a distance they could cover in an instant. Yet, neither of them made a move.

Even the Golden Eagle continued to circle in the sky, its cries merely growing more urgent.

“Hehe, fight, the more lively the fight, the better.”

At the foot of the mountain, Xia Fan watched this scene, his heart growing more delighted. “That giant wolf and giant python are truly cunning. They’re not making a move right now, wanting to use the other ferocious beasts to wear down the Amethyst Lion King’s strength.”

“The Golden Eagle is even watching from the sidelines, yet it exerts immense pressure on the ferocious beasts every moment.”

“The Amethyst Lion King has long considered the tian yuan fruit tree his private property, and being the closest, he naturally won’t back down.”

He paused slightly, continuing to ponder, “If I hadn’t been reborn as a Siberian Tiger, this tian yuan fruit tree would definitely belong to the Amethyst Lion King.”

“What a pity, what a pity. Your current fighting will only benefit me.”

For the time that followed, he didn’t continue to stare at the mountaintop or the tian yuan fruit tree. After all, intense crashing sounds occasionally echoed in his ears, indicating that the battle among the ferocious beasts had not yet ended.

Soon, it was the next day.

Xia Fan opened his tiger eyes somewhat lazily, looked left and right, then casually killed a ferocious beast, enjoying breakfast with the Magic Cat.

At this time, ferocious beasts were almost everywhere; there was no need to go looking for them!

Buzz—

An hour later, the tian yuan fruit tree suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light, almost completely dyeing the sky above the mountaintop and making many ferocious beasts feel dazed.

Xia Fan stared at it for a while before retracting his gaze, knowing this was a sign that the fruits were about to ripen.

So, he let out a few low roars at the Magic Cat, “The battle is about to begin. You help me seize the tian yuan fruit tree, and we’ll share the spoils as we agreed.”

“Meow!”

The Magic Cat instantly let out an excited cry, almost without hesitation, choosing to merge with Xia Fan.

Instantly, an aura unique to a second-tier ferocious beast erupted.

A blur shot straight towards the mountaintop, moving incredibly fast.

As Xia Fan sprinted, he glanced at the other ferocious beasts nearby, noticing that they, too, could no longer hold back and were all charging towards the mountaintop.

Looking up again, the Golden Eagle, giant python, and Fire Wolf, the three late-first-tier ferocious beasts, were leading the charge, and soon a great battle erupted with the Amethyst Lion King!

In an instant, the mountaintop was filled with continuous roars and incessant bursts of light.

A great battle had finally begun!

“Shield!”

At this moment, Xia Fan roared, reminding the Magic Cat to cast a shield on him, preparing to join the fray.

But just then, he suddenly stopped, abruptly looked up, and gazed over with a hint of surprise.

Boom boom boom—

Several helicopters suddenly appeared in the sky, their chaotic noise accompanied by strong winds, rapidly descending.

“Humans are here too!”

Xia Fan cried out in his heart, yet he wasn’t particularly concerned about the arrival of these armed humans. “Things are getting more and more interesting.”

“Originally, it was just a confrontation between ferocious beasts, but humans interfering at this moment will definitely change the current situation.”

“The Amethyst Lion King, Golden Eagle, and the others should temporarily set aside their disputes and deal with the humans together, right?”

He knew that even before the blood rain, there was a natural barrier between humans and wild beasts. Now that wild beasts had become ferocious beasts, their strength greatly increased, and the hatred they held for humans naturally erupted.

When the two sides met, it would inevitably be a fight to the death!

“Quick! Drop the explosives!”

On one of the helicopters, a military officer-looking soldier saw that they had reached above the ferocious beasts and immediately shouted into the intercom, “Blow all these beasts to hell!”

“Attention! Try to keep the explosive drop points as far away from the tian yuan fruit tree as possible. Don’t damage this kind of rare treasure.”

“Yes!”

The soldiers on all the helicopters unfastened the ropes holding the explosives and then lowered them.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Instantly, a large number of explosives rained down like a storm.

Rumble!

As soon as these explosives hit the ground, they quickly detonated. The terrifying energy they contained, in just a blink of an eye, blew the nearby ferocious beasts into bloody messes, with flesh and blood flying everywhere!

More than half of the ferocious beasts near the tian yuan fruit tree were instantly cleared out!

“Dodge!”

Xia Fan, who was charging up the mountaintop, suddenly saw a bundle of explosives rolling towards him and immediately let out a low roar, dodging to the side.

And the Magic Cat added another layer of shield to him!

Boom boom boom!

Explosions rang out one after another.

Xia Fan’s figure quickly emerged from the smoke and dust, unharmed, though some dirt had stained his fur, making him look a bit disheveled.

Under the protection of the Magic Cat, he was safe and sound!

“How ridiculous!”

At this moment, Xia Fan looked up, casting a cold glance at the helicopters in the sky. “Do these humans really think they can handle the ferocious beasts here like this?”

“They have no idea of the ferocious beasts’ true strength!”

“Roar—!”

As expected.

The moment after the explosion, the Golden Eagle was enraged by the humans’ actions.

After a cry, it forcefully flapped its wings, and several golden sword blades could be seen rushing towards the helicopters, directly striking down one of them. The latter plummeted amidst thick smoke, accompanied by the panicked and terrified screams of the human soldiers.

Those golden sword blades were its wing feathers, not only tough but also exceptionally sharp!

“Roar—!”

On the mountaintop, the Amethyst Lion King’s body was enveloped in a flickering purple light like electricity, and amidst its intense flashes, a purple beam shot out from his mouth.

The helicopter had already sensed the danger and was trying desperately to maneuver away, but it was still too late.

Rumble—

A loud bang erupted as the helicopter was pierced by the purple light beam. Like the previous one, it inevitably crashed to the ground, disintegrating in mid-air.

As for the soldiers on this helicopter, they died the instant they were struck by the purple light.

In the initial skirmish, humans suffered heavy losses!

“Damn it! How could this be?!”

The officer narrowly escaped, but he was also extremely terrified. “I didn’t expect these beasts’ strength to have evolved to this extent!”

“Although we are now ability users who can rival ferocious beasts, we are still not their opponents!”

“We cannot make pointless sacrifices!”

Thinking of this, the officer grabbed the intercom and roared at the remaining few safe helicopters, “Retreat! Retreat quickly!”

“We underestimated the ferocious beasts’ strength, we must leave!”

Not only him, but the members of the other human special ability combat teams were also greatly astonished.

Therefore, after receiving the officer’s command, they piloted the remaining helicopters without hesitation and fled in disarray!
