30: Nine-tailed fox!

"Meow!"

The Magic Cat immediately let out a joyful cry.

As soon as it arrived, it felt the rich spiritual energy, realizing that what Xia Fan had told it earlier was not false.

With such a good place, the Magic Cat understood that its speed of becoming stronger would increase, and then it would have more beast crystals to eat, even treating them as snacks would be no problem.

"As expected of the spiritual energy sanctuary and beast paradise of my previous life."

Xia Fan lifted his head, carefully sensing the spiritual energy of the place, his mood incomparably pleasant.

He swept his tiger-like gaze around and found that every part of the Yunxia Mountain Range, no matter where, had more abundant spiritual energy than the Great Wilderness Mountain Range and the Dali Mountains.

"Even in the early stages of the Blood Rain Anomaly, the wild beasts living here, after evolving into fierce beasts, are naturally stronger than other fierce beasts."

"Because the spiritual energy here is much richer than outside, they can find suitable places to live without much contention."

Xia Fan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "However, I didn't come here just to casually find a place to start my path to becoming stronger."

"I want to be the king of the entire Yunxia Mountain Range!"

"I want to be the king of all fierce beasts!"

As far as the eye could see, it was a world of lush greenery.

Nourished by abundant spiritual energy, the trees, flowers, and grasses here had all improved significantly, becoming tall, sturdy, and robust, and the greater their changes, the richer the spiritual energy became.

This was a very good cycle.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as a blessed land!

"Roar!"

Suddenly, Xia Fan let out a low roar, filled with a questioning tone, asking the Magic Cat, "How is it? Do you like it here?"

He wanted the Magic Cat to know that only by following him would its future be limitless, and then it could eat the crystals of any fierce beast it desired.

This way, he could ensure the Magic Cat would always follow him until it was completely subdued.

"Meow, meow, meow..."

As expected.

The Magic Cat immediately let out continuous meows and rapidly circled around Xia Fan.

At times, it rushed forward, looking at the mountain range with curiosity, and at other times, it returned to Xia Fan's side, rubbing against him affectionately to express its inner joy.

"Be careful, this is not a peaceful and beautiful place; beneath its beautiful exterior, countless dangers are hidden."

After a pause, Xia Fan led the way deeper into the Yunxia Mountain Range, reminding the Magic Cat with a low roar not to let its guard down.

He knew that the Yunxia Mountain Range, with its rich spiritual energy, naturally bred many powerful fierce beasts.

They were still on the outskirts of the Yunxia Mountain Range and couldn't see those powerful beings, but as they went deeper, the situation would change.

Indeed, Xia Fan and the Magic Cat, two outsiders, had only advanced a few hundred meters before they quickly attracted the attention of many fierce beasts.

Behind thick leaves and weeds, pairs of malicious eyes stared at their every move.

The owners of those eyes were either massive, originally carnivorous wild beasts, or seemingly harmless butterflies covered in poisonous powder and strange eyes.

Even some ants had grown to be about the size of ordinary small dogs, their sharp, powerful pincers seemingly capable of biting through anything.

"Meow!"

The Magic Cat sensed the danger around it, immediately shed its previous playfulness, and stayed close to Xia Fan, vigilantly watching the surroundings.

In this place, it was also a little scared.

"Roar..."

Suddenly, Xia Fan let out a long roar to the sky, mixed with a powerful second-tier beast aura, using it to deter the ill-intentioned fierce beasts nearby.

This roar was very necessary.

In the gloomy forest, most of the fierce beasts hostile towards them were scared witless, and the sounds of snapping dry branches and frantic cries occasionally echoed.

"Tiger Brother is so amazing!"

The Magic Cat was pleasantly surprised, its playfulness gradually returning.

However, it knew this place was far from simple, so it wanted to directly merge with Xia Fan to ensure safety, but the latter stopped it.

"The strongest fierce beasts in the mountain range haven't appeared yet, so it's not time for us to merge."

"Little one, don't be afraid. I'll tell you when it's time to merge."

Xia Fan roared several times, and only after reassuring the Magic Cat did he continue forward.

In the time that followed, one tiger and one cat broke through obstacles, sweeping away all the fierce beasts they encountered along the way, eventually arriving directly at the depths of the Yunxia Mountain Range.

At this moment, Xia Fan walked onto a raised hillside, looking around, seemingly searching for something.

"I still remember that in my previous life, humans once used drones to photograph the seven-colored lotus."

"The seven-colored lotus grows in a valley, and it's located deep within the Yunxia Mountain Range."

"So, I'm not far from the seven-colored lotus!"

With this thought, Xia Fan called out, then took the Magic Cat and began searching for the valley where the seven-colored lotus grew.

He didn't know if the fierce beasts in this mountain range had already found and claimed the seven-colored lotus before his arrival.

But he and the Magic Cat had traveled through mountains and rivers, and whether the seven-colored lotus was there or not, he had to go there personally to confirm its whereabouts before he would feel at ease.

"Let's go, keep moving forward."

So, he let out a low roar, conveyed his meaning to the Magic Cat, and then moved quickly.

Suddenly, a pure white fox appeared in Xia Fan's line of sight, making him stop instantly.

Xia Fan narrowed his eyes slightly and found that besides the pure white fox, a Giant Bear, a Giant Wolf, and a Giant Tiger stood beside it.

In an instant, his pupils contracted sharply, realizing that danger had arrived.

"This is... a Nine-Tailed Fox!"

In his line of sight, although the pure white fox was not as tall and robust as the Giant Wolf or Giant Bear, it was definitely the leader of this group of fierce beasts.

Because, behind this pure white fox, there were two tails!

This made him think of many things.

"I didn't expect to encounter the ruler of Yunxia Mountain from my previous life as soon as I arrived!"

Xia Fan's gaze fixed on the white fox, knowing that this Nine-Tailed Fox in front of him was the king-level fierce beast that occupied Yunxia Mountain in his previous life, and its awakened abilities were also very powerful—charm and Soul Fire.

Although the combat power of these two abilities was low, and the Nine-Tailed Fox only had two tails at this time, it had the ability to create illusions and control other fierce beasts!

Currently, almost all fierce beasts had not exceeded the second tier, so the Nine-Tailed Fox could easily control other fierce beasts.

He was startled, somewhat unclear about the Nine-Tailed Fox's intentions, as the other party did not make a move immediately.

With this thought, Xia Fan shifted his gaze to the Giant Wolf, Giant Bear, and Giant Tiger next to the Nine-Tailed Fox, especially staring at their eyes, and finally got the answer.

"Indeed, the three giant fierce beasts have all been controlled by the Nine-Tailed Fox."
