53: King Kong ape vs. Golden Tiger King

"Tiger Brother, behind you!"

"Oh no, the Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine is falling from the sky!"

"Watch out below!"

"..."

In the Seven-Colored Valley, the Magic Cat's surprised and nervous cries occasionally rang out.

Its gaze remained fixed on Xia Fan, never moving away.

After a while, the Magic Cat cried out again, "Tiger Brother, why don't you take a break? Your reaction speed is already very fast."

"Just a little more practice."

In mid-air, Xia Fan had just stabilized himself before letting out a low growl and shaking his head.

Ever since human ability users infiltrated the Seven-Colored Valley, he understood that his biggest enemies in the future would still be humans. After all, fierce beasts were not like humans; they had various methods and highly destructive thermal weapons.

It could be said that if human ability users had the help of thermal weapons, it was equivalent to having an extra half-helper.

If another human ability user were to stealthily infiltrate and secretly fire a thermal weapon at him, he might not die but would certainly be severely injured.

Therefore, Xia Fan began to use the Wind Manipulation Technique to dodge the attacks of the Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine, thereby practicing his movement skills.

He moved as if gravity had ceased to exist, sometimes on all fours, sometimes darting left and right, but each change in his posture successfully dodged the vines that attacked him.

It wasn't until the end of today's practice that Xia Fan slowly returned to the Magic Cat's side, growling, "How long have I been practicing?"

"About... two and a half meal times?"

The Magic Cat didn't have an accurate concept of time, but it always liked to savor its food, and a meal usually took about an hour, so it responded in that way.

Seeing this, Xia Fan didn't say much, just lay down by the tian yuan fruit tree, somewhat exhausted, "Roar, roar, roar!"

"Let's rest for a while. We'll continue practicing when the sun starts to set."

"Meow meow!"

The tiger and the cat enjoyed a moment of tranquility under the tian yuan fruit tree.

Rustle—

Suddenly, Xia Fan's gaze turned to the ground. He was surprised to find that the soil particles were rolling, and he could clearly feel a slight tremor under his feet. He immediately got up and soared into the sky.

With the help of the Wind Manipulation Technique, he soon arrived at a mountaintop and looked towards the distant source of the commotion.

The Magic Cat followed at this moment, curiously meowing, "Tiger Brother, what's wrong?"

Xia Fan didn't speak, because several black dots suddenly appeared in his line of sight.

As those black dots magnified, his pupils slightly contracted, and he was quite surprised, "Human fighter jets?"

"Behind the fighter jets, is that... a Giant Ape?"

..."Roar!"

Thousands of meters away from the Yunxia Mountain Range, the enraged King Kong Giant Ape rampaged through the forest, ignoring the giant trees blocking its path. Instead, it occasionally picked up giant logs and rocks from the roadside and threw them at the fighter jets firing at it.

However, most of these attacks missed.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, fighter jet number three shook violently. If it weren't for the ability user Lu Yun's timely deployment of a defensive shield, this fighter jet would probably have crashed.

"Report!"

"This flight can continue for a maximum of five hundred meters. If we don't return, there's a risk of crashing."

At this moment, the pilot's extremely nervous voice came from inside fighter jet number three.

As the main attacker responsible for attracting the King Kong Giant Ape's aggro, he hadn't used any other heavy-duty weapons since dropping the first missile, relying solely on the machine gun to attract attention.

Fighter jets number two and four, however, occasionally dropped missiles on either side of the King Kong Giant Ape, forcing it to never shift its target, and their fuselage weight was significantly reduced.

Therefore, fighter jet number three's fuel was no longer sufficient to sustain its flight for too long.

"One more round of machine gun strafing, and then you can return!"

In the Imperial Capital's conference room, Professor Xia Xinyu stared intently at the real-time footage and map, shouting excitedly, "You are about to reach the Golden Giant Tiger's territory. The mission is just one final step away."

"Attention, after the machine gun strafing, you can return!"

"Received!"

At this moment, fighter jet number two, as if gone mad, almost completely emptied all the ammunition it carried. After flying several hundred meters further, it abruptly accelerated to its maximum speed and disappeared from the King Kong Giant Ape's sight.

The three fighter jets flew away rapidly at more than twice the speed of sound.

"Roar—"

When the King Kong Giant Ape saw the strange birds disappear and found itself in a completely unfamiliar environment, its rage soared.

It directly used tree trunks as weapons, causing widespread destruction in the forest, and then picked up huge rocks, throwing them in all directions.

It seemed that only by doing so could it vent the anger in its heart.

After more than an hour, the King Kong Giant Ape was still smashing things, seemingly intent on turning the place into ruins.

At this moment, several reconnaissance robots disguised as stones were not far from it, their cameras constantly aimed at the King Kong Giant Ape, while others had delved deep into Yunxia Mountain, searching for traces of the Golden Giant Tiger.

Because the previous drones were destroyed, during this reconnaissance, Professor Xia Xinyu and his team chose a more covert approach... "Heh heh, you certainly have a good idea."

"This direction, it's towards my Yunxia Mountain, isn't it?"

On the mountaintop, Xia Fan noticed the direction the fighter jets were leaving and instantly understood the humans' intention—they wanted to use the King Kong Giant Ape to suppress him!

It had to be said that letting the two kings fight was indeed the most advantageous idea for humans, allowing them to eliminate two threats without shedding a drop of blood!

"Hmph!"

Thinking of this, Xia Fan let out a heavy snort, and a scorching breath instantly erupted from his nostrils, "I want to see how capable you are!"

Although the King Kong Giant Ape had not truly entered Yunxia Mountain yet, it was only a matter of time.

Moreover, with its immense destructive power, if it really went there, it would likely cause countless troubles.

To prevent it from destroying his territory, Xia Fan directly took the initiative to attack.

Whoosh—

With a whooshing sound, Xia Fan flew close to the ground, moving at an extremely fast speed towards the foot of Yunxia Mountain.

Behind him, the Magic Cat's cries gradually caught up, "Tiger Brother, wait for me!"

Before long, Xia Fan's massive body appeared in the humans' field of vision. The disguised reconnaissance robots scattered in all directions became the source of human information.

"The Golden Giant Tiger has appeared!"

Imperial Capital, conference room.

A military officer, upon seeing the massive figure, almost instinctively stood up and exclaimed, "I distinctly remember that the Golden Giant Tiger wasn't this big!"

"He wasn't that big originally, but that also precisely indicates that his strength is growing very rapidly."

"If we don't curb him, he will truly bring us disaster!"

Professor Professor Xia Xinyu's brows were tightly furrowed, but deep in his eyes, there was a faint excitement.

At this moment, he lowered his voice, seemingly muttering to himself, "Between the Golden Tiger King and the King Kong Giant Ape, who is stronger?"

As soon as he said this, everyone else in the conference room stared at the video feed, waiting with immense anticipation.
