42: A killing spree!

Yunzhou City, suburbs.

A pair of armed forces in camouflage were ready to go, and at the very front of the team were five technical personnel operating drones, their eyes fixed on the screen in front of them.

“Report to the Chief, there’s a situation in Yunxia Mountain!”

Suddenly, a soldier rushed into a nearby tent and reported loudly, “We just photographed the wild beasts in Yunxia Mountain… no, they are fierce beasts now.”

“They are almost all heading towards the depths of Yunxia Mountain, as if something is attracting them.”

“Moreover, there was clearly no strong wind today, but the closer to the depths of Yunxia Mountain, the greater the movement of the trees there.”

“Did you see clearly?”

The Chief of this armed force immediately stood up, extremely excited, “Are there any other noteworthy situations?”

“Report to the Chief, we found that there seems to be colorful light emanating from the depths of the Yunxia Mountain Range, but the source has not yet been determined.”

“Investigate further!”

“Yes!”

After his subordinate left, the Chief paced back and forth in the tent, pondering for a long time before looking at the communicator beside him, “Quick, immediately contact Professor Xia for me, I have important information to tell him.”

“Chief, communication… communication is interrupted.”

“What?”

The Chief was startled, and ran to the communicator in a few steps, finally confirming that they could not contact the outside world now.

Thinking of this, the Chief turned pale with fright, and rushed out of the tent, finding that the surrounding trees were indeed shaking constantly, but he couldn't feel any wind.

“What’s going on? Is there really a rare spiritual object appearing?”

The Chief felt that he could hardly suppress his inner excitement.

But then he suddenly became worried, “Causing such a big commotion, the spiritual object that appears must be extraordinary. With our limited manpower, I’m afraid we are not qualified to participate.”

“Damn it, communication is interrupted at this very moment!”

The Chief was very annoyed, but at this moment, another subordinate came to report, his face even filled with terror, “Chief, the fierce beasts in the mountain… all the fierce beasts in the mountain are fighting!”

Soon, a tablet connected to a real-time screen was brought over, and the Chief’s eyes widened as he fixed his gaze on it!

He saw in the picture that dozens, even hundreds, of fierce beasts were all crammed in front of a narrow valley entrance, fighting madly, with fierce beasts dying almost every second!

Even more terrifying to him was that in front of the valley, there was a giant ancient vine that seemed to be participating in the war.

Although it barely moved, the Chief saw clearly that the ancient vine would quietly drag away the corpses of other fierce beasts and devour them at an extremely fast speed!

“Hiss…”

The Chief immediately gasped, his eyes filled with an incredible look, “So many fierce beasts, I didn’t expect such powerful fierce beasts to have appeared in the Yunxia Mountain Range!”

...At the same time, Seven-Colored Canyon.

Xia Fan’s whole body was shimmering with golden light, and there was a slightly hot barrier surrounding him.

At this moment, Magic Cat had merged with him, and they were currently on the battlefield, killing any fierce beast that charged at them with a single blow.

“Tiger Brother, it seems… we’re acting too tense, aren’t we?”

After a while, Magic Cat called out with some doubt, “With Yuan Dali and the others here, it’s almost impossible for any fierce beast to break through the blockade.”

“However, those birds that can hover without flapping their wings have appeared in the sky again.”

“Those aren’t birds, they’re human drones.”

Xia Fan looked up slightly and saw the drones disguised as birds. After thinking for a moment, he still growled at Magic Cat, “Don’t mind them. Humans just want to know the situation here, but they haven’t directly taken action.”

“Let them observe from above.”

“Oh, alright…”

For a moment, Magic Cat retracted the paw it had just extended.

If Xia Fan had been a step later, it would have really smashed the drone!

“Boss, most of it has been dealt with!”

After a while, Yuan Dali returned to Xia Fan’s side, panting, “Those fierce beasts that charged over, seeing too many companions die, have developed fear and dare not attack too fiercely.”

“I believe it won’t be long before they retreat.”

“Mm-hmm, you’ve worked hard.”

...“Golden Tiger King? How did he end up in our Yunzhou City?”

On the outskirts of Yunzhou, the Chief looked at the video screen and was immediately startled again, even more so than when he first learned of the fierce beast war, “Professor Xia said that Golden Tiger King is currently the most mysterious and powerful fierce beast, bar none.”

“His appearance here, is he trying to take something from my Yunzhou City?”

“Chief, we found the glowing object, it’s a seven-colored lotus!”

Just then, a soldier ran to him, holding a tablet excitedly, and reported with great excitement, “Chief, look, around this seven-colored lotus, spiritual energy that has turned into water has already gathered, and the direction of those fierce beasts’ charge is precisely the seven-colored lotus.”

“However, what kind of spiritual object is this?”

“It actually triggered a spiritual energy riot!”

The Chief stared blankly at the seven-colored lotus, at some point, his mind was almost completely drawn in.

When he came back to his senses, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and he roared out, “Quick!”

“Report the intelligence here to the Imperial Capital!”

...As time passed, the spiritual energy riot triggered by the seven-colored lotus had an increasingly greater impact, even attracting some fierce beasts from outside Yunxia Mountain.

At this moment, on a hill not far from Yunxia Mountain.

A pair of earthy yellow eyes suddenly opened, and then the entire hill began to tremble violently. These suddenly appearing cracks in the earth continuously extended, spreading for hundreds of meters in all directions before slowly coming to a halt.

And with the appearance of the cracks, the surroundings also began to shake violently, as if a natural disaster had suddenly descended.

“Roar——”

When the soil on the hill suddenly burst open, an excited roar came from within.

Immediately after, a gigantic beast with a black-brown body and earthy yellow eyes emerged from underground. After sniffing a few times, it immediately headed towards the Yunxia Mountain Range.

“Caw!”

In the sky, there was a behemoth that seemed to have come from a very distant place, barely flapping its wings.

But when it approached the Yunxia Mountain Range, this bird suddenly let out a strange cry, and at the same time desperately flapped its wings, accelerating as it swooped down towards the Yunxia Mountain Range.

It seemed that they all sensed that some extraordinary heavenly treasure had descended in the Yunxia Mountain Range, and they wanted to get a share… “Don’t end the merge.”

Xia Fan noticed that Magic Cat, seeing that the battle was about to end, had the thought of relaxing, so he immediately reminded him with a roar.

This made Magic Cat puzzled, “Tiger Brother, what’s wrong? Aren’t all the fierce beasts about to be killed?”

“It’s not that simple.”

At this moment, Xia Fan looked up slightly, his eyes narrowed as he looked in a certain direction, a murderous intent flashing as if he had sensed something, “It seems that today I will have to go on a killing spree!”

“Get ready for battle!”
