69: S-level ability: Storm Magic

Boom—

With a powerful impact, Xia Fan slowly descended next to the Storm Fury's corpse.

He surveyed it briefly.

The Storm Fury was covered in various wounds, and even its feathers were incredibly messy and tattered, but overall, its body was still relatively intact.

"Hehe, Storm Fury, I'm here..."

Xia Fan stared at it with burning eyes for a moment, then, ignoring everyone else, he directly opened his gaping maw and devoured the Storm Fury's flesh and blood.

This time, he didn't specifically search for the Storm Fury's crystal, but instead swallowed it along with its flesh and blood.

After all, there were so many people watching.

If humans knew of his craving for crystals, changes might occur.

"Crunch! Crunch!"

At this moment, only the chewing sounds of the Golden Giant Tiger gnawing on the Storm Fury's bones could be heard; the humans present dared only to watch silently, not daring to make a sound to disturb him.

They didn't know if the Golden Giant Tiger would continue to attack humans after its meal.

Or, if they moved, would the Golden Giant Tiger become enraged and start killing again!

The Storm Fury's corpse was huge, and its heavy body contained a lot of flesh and blood.

Before long, Xia Fan's face was covered in fresh red blood from eating, but he didn't care.

The scene was terrifyingly quiet.

"Roar—"

When the last bit of flesh and blood was consumed, Xia Fan let out a contented growl.

At this moment, he slightly turned his head, his calm eyes glancing at the humans.

Instantly, an incredibly tense atmosphere spread through the crowd; everyone subconsciously held their breath, not even daring to look up.

The pressure the Golden Tiger King exerted on them was simply too immense.

Previously, the humans had thought the Storm Fury was an invincible being, but when the Golden Tiger King appeared, they suddenly felt the Storm Fury was nothing special after all.

And everything that happened today also made everyone present realize that there were also strength differences between beast kings.

Ultimately, Xia Fan simply vanished into the desert, leaving no message for the humans.

It wasn't until now that sighs of relief began to ripple through the crowd.

On the combat helicopter, Sister Bing watched Xia Fan's departing back, speechless for a long time.

They didn't even dare to make any superfluous movements with the combat helicopter, simply maintaining a hovering posture.

"Is this a Beast King?"

After an unknown amount of time, Sister Bing finally came to her senses, her expression still somewhat dazed, "Thankfully, that Golden Tiger King showed no interest in us humans just now."

Gradually, the scene began to liven up.

People who had previously hidden far away due to the great battle between the Storm Fury and the Golden Tiger King gathered together.

They silently searched through the wreckage of the combat helicopters, attempting to find the remains of their comrades.

However, these combat helicopters were too severely damaged, ultimately leading them to find nothing.

A sad atmosphere permeated the crowd; everyone was silently mournful, like walking corpses.

Finally, someone, unable to bear the atmosphere, took a deep breath and said, "I originally thought the Storm Fury was already a top-tier fierce beast."

"Look, it could forcibly intercept missiles, avoid their dangers, and even swallow a second-tier ability user in one bite."

"This was already an incredibly powerful being."

Beside him, someone nodded slightly in agreement, but then, they heard that person continue, "But it wasn't until I saw the Golden Tiger King that I realized how ridiculous my thoughts were."

"And we even wanted Lin Feng, this second-tier ability user, to defeat the Storm Fury."

Now, no one referred to Lin Feng as the China War God anymore.

This battle today made everyone understand the terror of Beast Kings, and at the same time, they knew that even the most powerful ability users nowadays were no match for any Beast King.

Everything they had done seemed like a joke.

"If the Tiger King appeared before me, I definitely wouldn't run."

Someone was so terrified by the Golden Tiger King's might that he realized he could never escape its grasp, so he simply gave up, "If that happened, just let it eat me."

"However, it seems like the appearance of this Golden Tiger King just now saved our lives."

Someone else suddenly realized that the Golden Tiger King's hostility towards humans wasn't that great.

At the very least, if it had wanted to, it could have slaughtered everyone present and then left, thus giving rise to different thoughts, "So, does this mean we can proactively show goodwill to the Golden Tiger King in the future?"

"We don't ask it to join our human camp, only that when we meet in the future, the Golden Tiger King won't attack humans."

"Hehe, let's not even think about it..."

...While everyone was discussing, Xia Fan had already gone far away.

At this moment, a surprised voice broke the silence.

"Tiger Brother, you're back!"

Seeing Xia Fan, the Magic Cat immediately came to greet him.

In fact, it also wanted to follow Xia Fan to fight the Storm Fury, but Xia Fan didn't want to expose more about himself in front of humans, so he left the Magic Cat waiting in the distance.

When the tiger and cat met, the Magic Cat immediately showed excitement, directly sprinting to Xia Fan and affectionately rubbing his cheek.

The Magic Cat didn't ask about the outcome of the battle.

Because Xia Fan's return was the best explanation.

"Let's go, it's time for us to leave."

Xia Fan let out a few low growls, and after the Magic Cat settled on his back, he suddenly accelerated, speeding off into the distance.

Soon after, he found a relatively quiet and secluded spot, then growled to the Magic Cat, "You go find somewhere to play for a bit; I still need to digest what I gained from this battle."

"Okay."

The Magic Cat nodded heavily, then ran to a spot a dozen meters away from Xia Fan, and meowed, "Tiger Brother, call me anytime if you need anything."

"Mhm."

Xia Fan lay on the ground, beginning to digest the Storm Fury's flesh and blood and its ability crystal.

With the two abilities, Devour and Bloodlust, everything from the Storm Fury was useful; he wouldn't waste a single bit.

Buzz—

A moment later, an invisible and mysterious aura spread out in all directions, extending for over a hundred meters before dissipating.

And Xia Fan had already obtained the Storm Fury's ability, immediately filled with joy.

[Storm Art: S-rank ability, can condense extremely terrifying storms!]

"Roar—"

At this moment, Xia Fan roared loudly, directly shaking the surrounding sand particles down.

His mood was incredibly joyful; with a slight thought, a miniature tornado formed in front of him, sweeping forward.

"Hehe, not bad."

Seeing this, Xia Fan nodded in satisfaction, then retracted the ability.

He knew that as long as he practiced diligently in the future, this powerful ability would surely unleash terrifying power!
