74: Strange phenomenon from the sky! Meteorite appears!

From now on, I'll call you Ta Mu.

Xia Fan stared at the River Lord for a long time before finally saying this.

But calling the River Lord this was the best name he could think of, and it was the most fitting name for it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for bestowing a name!"

River Lord Tamu was overjoyed, even muttering his name repeatedly in his heart.

This was the first time he had his own name. Before this, he didn't even know what the meaning of a name was. However, after Xia Fan subdued him, he gained a greater understanding of this world.

"Your Majesty, how did you know I would be here?"

At this moment, Ta Mu looked at Xia Fan with anticipation.

He had just seen the other party descend from the sky and accurately strike him, thinking that Xia Fan had come specifically for him, hence the question.

Xia Fan, on the other hand, suddenly felt a bit awkward.

He pondered for a moment, then let out a low growl, "It's nothing much. I mainly sensed your presence and came directly to find you."

"Ta Mu, from now on, without my command, you are not to indiscriminately kill the innocent, especially not devour humans."

Although Xia Fan was now a fierce beast, he would never devour humans just for food, nor would he deliberately do such a thing.

Therefore, he also didn't want his subordinate to devour humans at the drop of a hat.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will firmly remember this point."

River Lord Tamu immediately nodded heavily, indicating his understanding.

He possessed intelligence; otherwise, he wouldn't have shown a playful expression when devouring humans at that time.

So, he now realized that his boss might be somewhat extraordinary, and perhaps would achieve great things in the future, so obeying his commands was not a big problem.

"Oh, and your ability is..."

Suddenly, Xia Fan thought of this important matter and couldn't help but ask, with a hint of anticipation in his heart.

River Lord Tamu was a King-level fierce beast after all, so his ability naturally wouldn't be too bad.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, my ability is Water Escape Technique!"

Ta Mu proudly raised his head and croaked at Xia Fan, explaining his ability, "Within a ten-kilometer radius, no matter what water source it is, I can freely travel through it."

"Your Majesty, my ability improves as my strength increases. By then, let alone within a ten-kilometer radius, even a hundred-kilometer radius, a thousand-kilometer radius, or even the entire world, as long as there's a water source, I can go there!"

"That powerful?"

Xia Fan was surprised.

Ta Mu's ability was truly heaven-defying.

It was impossible for there to be no water in the world, so as long as Ta Mu wished, he could appear in any water source, which was equivalent to carrying a teleportation gate with him at all times.

"Your Majesty, would you like to experience it?"

At this moment, Ta Mu suddenly said with some eagerness, "Since Your Majesty is curious about my ability, why don't I take Your Majesty to experience it?"

Hearing this, Xia Fan's eyes immediately lit up.

He was right, Ta Mu was right beside him, and he was also very curious about the Water Escape Technique, so why not experience it himself?

However, what surprised him was that the River Lord's Water Escape Technique could even take people along!

"Let's go!"

As Xia Fan's voice fell, he immediately felt himself enveloped by a soft, moist mass, and as the light before his eyes suddenly changed, when he saw his surroundings again, he was already on the opposite bank of the lake.

"Your Majesty, how was it?"

River Lord Tamu looked over expectantly. Xia Fan didn't disappoint him, "Not bad, not bad. With this ability, a lot of time can be saved in the future."

Xia Fan knew that from now on, he could easily travel between the major oases in the Northwest Desert, thus making it easier to search for extraterrestrial meteorite iron.

Over the next few days, he and Magic Cat, led by Ta Mu, began to appear in various oases in the desert, which was very convenient... Imperial Capital, Celestial Phenomena Department.

On this day, the staff of the Observation Department suddenly discovered an anomaly in the sky.

A staff member's eyes widened, staring intently at the brilliant colors in the sky, until a call from a colleague beside him slowly brought him back to his senses, "What's wrong?"

"Such a celestial phenomenon definitely indicates that something special has happened."

His colleague said with great excitement, "Our Celestial Phenomena Department has been waiting for a long time, and finally, there's an opportunity to make a contribution."

"Quick, quick, report this discovery. Maybe we can also earn merit for it."

"You're right!"

Thus, all the staff of the Observation Department meticulously recorded the characteristics and manifestations of the celestial phenomenon, and then reported the situation to Professor Xia Xinyu.

"Professor, does this situation... indicate something?"

In the Research Institute, the assistant accompanied Professor Xia Xinyu and finished reading the anomaly report, then couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that some kind of heavenly treasure has appeared?"

"Moreover, the location where this anomaly appeared... seems a bit strange."

"Could it be related to that Golden Tiger King?"

Hearing this, Professor Xia Xinyu pondered for a moment, but answered evasively, "When a celestial phenomenon descends, there must be something fishy."

"Quickly go and gather the ability users!"

"Yes!"

Before long, four or five ability users appeared before Professor Xia Xinyu.

He looked at them seriously, and after they had read the anomaly report, he spoke, "Presumably, all of you already understand why I've asked you to come."

"To be honest, with a celestial phenomenon appearing at this time, I don't want to send you out."

"It's just that humanity has already shown a decline in fighting fierce beasts. If we don't strive harder, in the future... I'm afraid we really won't be able to contend with fierce beasts."

One of them frowned and said, "Is Professor Xia worried about the Golden Tiger King?"

"Hmm!"

Professor Xia Xinyu did not intend to avoid this matter.

His expression had become exceptionally solemn, "I believe all of you have seen the video of the Golden Tiger King slaughtering Storm Fury. The danger involved is clear to all of you."

"However, your purpose in going to the Northwest Desert this time is not to contend with the Golden Tiger King, but to quickly ascertain the source of that anomaly."

At this moment, someone asked curiously, "What if the anomaly is truly related to the Golden Tiger King?"

Professor Xia Xinyu was silent for a moment, then stated emphatically, "Everything is predicated on protecting your own lives. Do not act rashly in matters that cannot be done."

"Yes!"

At the same time, a certain part of the Northwest Desert.

In an oasis, Xia Fan appeared with River Lord Tamu.

At this moment, he slightly raised his head and saw a golden light descending from the sky. His heart was immediately filled with joy, and his eyes held an irrepressible delight, "Heaven helps me, I finally found it!"

"The extraterrestrial meteorite iron has finally appeared. Let's go quickly!"
