28: Leave the Great Wilderness Mountain!

"Little one, let's try combining!"

Inside the cave, Xia Fan looked at Magic Cat, his heart pounding with excitement.

He had already consumed the Amethyst Lion King's crystal, and his strength had increased once again; Magic Cat was no different.

That's why he was eager to try, curious to see how much he had changed.

"Meow meow!"

Magic Cat agreed without a second thought. It transformed into a streak of purple light, swiftly rushed towards Xia Fan, and then merged into him without any obstruction.

Buzz—

Instantly, an even more powerful aura erupted.

Xia Fan stood majestically at the mouth of the cave, feeling the changes after combining with Magic Cat.

"Not bad! Truly worthy of being a King-level fierce beast in my previous life."

He was very satisfied with this. "Initially, when I was in the late First-tier, after combining with Magic Cat, I could reach the strength of a Second-tier fierce beast. Now, I am still in the early Second-tier, but with the enhancement from this little one, my strength has actually reached the late Second-tier!"

Such a significant improvement filled him with joy.

Xia Fan had discovered more than just this one point.

Now, after combining with Magic Cat, he found that its auxiliary abilities in all aspects had also greatly improved.

If before, when shielded by Magic Cat, he could ignore the attacks of ordinary Second-tier fierce beasts, now he was certain that all Second-tier fierce beasts should no longer pose a threat to them.

In future battles, he could rely on Magic Cat's assistance and fight without restraint... "It's time to leave."

After a short rest in the cave, Xia Fan strode out with his tiger paws, followed closely by Magic Cat.

In the current Great Wilderness Mountain Range, there weren't many powerful fierce beasts. So, although the tiger and cat encountered some along the way, they were either intimidated by their strength and dared not approach, or they were like mantises trying to stop a chariot, dying directly under Xia Fan's tiger claws.

"Meow?"

Soon, Magic Cat noticed that Xia Fan seemed to be leaving the Great Wilderness Mountain Range, and couldn't help but let out a questioning meow, asking for the reason.

"Our destination has never been Great Wilderness Mountain."

Xia Fan paused, then told Magic Cat what was on his mind, his roars continuous. "The reason we came here was simply for the tian yuan spiritual fruit."

"Now, the tian yuan spiritual fruit is already acquired and long in our stomachs."

"Moreover, this trip also involved devouring the Amethyst Lion King, which can be said to be a full harvest."

"The stage here is no longer big enough for us."

"Where are we going then?"

Magic Cat meowed, quite puzzled.

Before meeting Xia Fan, it had actually been wandering, with no future goals or plans in mind.

Being playful, it hadn't thought about the future yet.

Hearing this question, Xia Fan pondered for a moment, not rushing to respond, but a lot was going through his mind.

"After the mutation, countless opportunities appeared, all over the world."

"However, the national territory is vast, with numerous mountains and ridges, and the opportunities within are enough for me to choose from."

He looked back at the mountain peak where the tian yuan fruit tree originally grew, secretly thinking, "The fierce beasts in various places have more or less encountered opportunities, using them to increase their strength, but this speed is very slow."

"With my memories from my previous life, I can seize these opportunities before other fierce beasts and humans react, and use them to enhance my own strength!"

"Therefore, the wilderness and mountains will be my home for a long time in the future."

Xia Fan knew clearly that he had already entered human sight, and it seemed humans were paying special attention to him.

If humans knew about the abilities he possessed, Xia Fan was sure that they would inevitably try every means to capture him for a series of research.

Perhaps, even dissecting his brain and slicing it up was not impossible!

"So, to avoid falling into human hands, I must have my own fierce beast force!"

Xia Fan finally came to this conclusion and firmly believed it was extremely correct.

After all, he already had the tian yuan fruit tree, giving him the capital to build a fierce beast army.

It's just... he still needed a territory.

"Tiger Brother, what are you thinking about?"

Just then, Magic Cat, seeing that he hadn't responded to its question for a long time, meowed out curiously, asking, "Are we just going to wander aimlessly like this?"

"Or, Tiger Brother, do you already have a goal but aren't telling me?"

Xia Fan heard some displeasure in its meows and couldn't help but smile.

He thought for a moment, then growled, "Do you like being with humans?"

"No."

Magic Cat tilted its head and thought for a while, then expressed its feelings. "Those humans, as soon as they see other fierce beasts, they fight and kill, but they can't win."

"I think they're just wasting their energy."

"And humans are full of hostility towards other fierce beasts, so it must be the same for us."

"No, no, if we come into contact with humans, we will definitely be captured."

"Roar roar—"

Hearing this, Xia Fan immediately let out a laughing roar.

Magic Cat's concept of good and evil was truly simple, but this was also normal.

Even other fierce beasts had similar thoughts, or rather, an instinct to dislike humans; when the two sides meet, one must be harmed.

"If you can think that way, then I don't have to worry about you falling into human hands in the future."

Xia Fan growled a few times, knowing that this little one was incredibly fast, especially after reaching the Second-tier, it had improved greatly, and he might not even be able to catch up now.

So humans definitely wouldn't be able to catch up either.

After a long while, he revealed their destination to Magic Cat—our target: Yunxia Mountain.

"Yunxia Mountain? What kind of place is that?"

Magic Cat was puzzled; it had never heard of this place.

Xia Fan then selected some things he could tell and informed Magic Cat, "Currently, the environment of Yunxia Mountain is very good. There are countless colorful flowers and various fierce beasts, whose crystals can be easily obtained."

"Once you reach that place, you can eat crystals whenever you want."

Sure enough, after hearing this, Magic Cat was overjoyed.

What it didn't know was that Xia Fan had an even more important reason for going to Yunxia Mountain.

In his previous life, a few months after the blood rain mutation, a seven-colored lotus appeared in Yunxia Mountain.

That seven-colored lotus could gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making the spiritual energy of the entire Yunxia Mountain several times denser than the outside world. Any fierce beast cultivating there would have far greater efficiency than outside.

Xia Fan planned to conquer all the fierce beasts of Yunxia Mountain, make it his future territory, and develop and strengthen it.

Unconsciously, night fell. Xia Fan and Magic Cat had not yet left Great Wilderness Mountain, because he had to be careful of human drones.

Now, Xia Fan could use the cover of night to increase his speed without worrying about being discovered by humans. So, he let out a low growl, conveying the meaning of rapid advance to Magic Cat, "Go!"

"Depart—for Yunxia Mountain!"
