75: Space-based superpower!
"Ta Mu, follow the direction where the golden light fell, and keep going. Don't worry about expending your abilities!"
Xia Fan's expression hardened, and he immediately gave the order.
The River Lord croaked a few times, and then, with a flash of a water screen, it once again vanished from its spot, taking Xia Fan and the Magic Cat with it.
Currently, the range Ta Mu could sense was only ten miles, but it could easily traverse through these water sources, so its speed was very fast.
Xia Fan would occasionally emerge from the ground with the River Lord, his gaze fixed on the golden light. In his heart, he had already made up his mind, "I must get my hands on this skyfall meteorite!"
As a fierce beast with memories of his past life as a human, Xia Fan knew clearly that the unusual phenomenon in the sky would surely attract human attention.
And after his battle with Storm Fury, humans would definitely prepare more lethal thermal weapons and act more cautiously. Therefore, if he encountered humans, he still needed to be careful and seize the extraterrestrial meteorite iron first, otherwise it would fall into human hands!
"Faster, faster, don't stop."
At this thought, Xia Fan couldn't help but urge, his gaze incredibly firm.
Led by the River Lord, he was getting closer and closer to where the extraterrestrial meteorite iron had fallen, and his mood grew more urgent, wishing he could rush to the destination immediately.
"Great King, do you know what kind of treasure that is over there?"
As Ta Mu was hurrying along, a hint of curiosity involuntarily appeared on his face, and he croaked, "Is it a heavenly material and earthly treasure maturing?"
"No, it's something even more important than a heavenly material and earthly treasure."
Xia Fan shook his head slightly and casually explained it to Ta Mu.
In his previous life, he still remembered that this first piece of extraterrestrial meteorite iron had fallen into human hands.
Although at that time, humans still couldn't truly comprehend the power of fierce beasts, they acted first, relying on their absolute control over information, and took the treasure away.
And the fierce beasts at that time didn't care about such things at all, all considering it just an ordinary meteorite.
The fierce beasts were unaware that such external objects could also be of great help to them.
"Living another life, this is also my advantage over other fierce beasts."
A strange light flickered in Xia Fan's eyes, and he was secretly pondering in his heart, "Having lived another life, I naturally won't let go of such a precious item."
"After all, if I can forge a spiritual weapon from it, my strength will be greatly enhanced!"
...At the same time.
Northwest Desert, somewhere.
Rumble—
As a streak of bright light fell, a deep pit was instantly blasted open in the desert. Terrifying dust shot in all directions, and the violent commotion lasted for a long time before slowly subsiding.
When the surrounding dust and smoke dissipated, a dazzling golden light lay at the bottom of the deep pit, shimmering brightly.
"Hiss hiss—"
"Squeak!"
At this moment, several fierce beasts were attracted. However, when they gathered at the edge of the deep pit, they all stopped and involuntarily turned their heads away, not looking at the situation at the bottom of the pit.
Because the golden light emanating from the bottom of the pit was too dazzling, almost blinding their eyes.
"What is that? A meteorite?"
Coincidentally, not far from where the extraterrestrial meteorite iron landed, several humans, carrying huge backpacks, were trudging through the desert.
They were adventurers, also personnel exploring environmental changes after the anomaly, but they were not official personnel.
At this moment, someone stopped, pointed to where the commotion had occurred, and asked his companions in surprise, "You all felt that violent tremor just now, didn't you?"
"Mm-hmm, I felt it. It seems to be caused by a meteorite fall."
"What kind of meteorite emits golden light when it falls?"
Immediately, another person retorted, "Besides, the world today has become strange. That golden light seems to be emitted when some kind of heavenly material and earthly treasure is born."
"What do you say, should we go and take a look?"
"Are you crazy?"
As soon as these words were spoken, someone immediately widened his eyes and said incredulously, "Didn't you see that there are still many fierce beasts surrounding the edge of that deep pit?"
"If we go over now, what's the difference between that and sending ourselves as food for them?"
A silence gradually fell among the crowd.
The reason they dared to stay in the vicinity was that they noticed the fierce beasts' attention had been drawn by the golden light just now, and they temporarily didn't want to bother with them.
"No, even if we don't go over, we can't let the fierce beasts have it easy."
Suddenly, someone in the team gritted his teeth, directly raised his camera, aimed it at the place where the golden light was spreading, quickly took a few photos, and then used his phone to take pictures, "Take pictures of the situation here and upload them online."
"I believe that soon, someone will come to check the situation, and it will definitely be an ability user."
"Let the ability users deal with those fierce beasts."
"Good!"
These adventurers all took action until they were sure nothing was missed. Only then did they spread the photos along with the specific location, and then turned and left.
They knew that this place was no longer peaceful... Imperial Capital, Research Institute.
A young man stood confidently in front of Professor Xia Xinyu, then respectfully saluted, "Thank you, Professor Xia, for your guidance. This experiment has been successful, and I have acquired a new ability!"
"Hahahahaha, excellent!"
Professor Xia Xinyu smiled broadly and nodded, then asked, "Liu Kong, what ability have you awakened?"
"Reporting, Professor Xia, it's a space-type ability!"
"What? Are you sure?"
For a moment, Professor Xia Xinyu's eyes widened, somewhat disbelieving what he had heard.
Liu Kong, however, was beaming.
He nodded emphatically and said with a smile, "Yes, Professor Xia, it is indeed a space-type ability."
"Space-type abilities are exceptionally rare. Quickly show me."
"Yes!"
The next second, a strange fluctuation erupted around Liu Kong. In front of him, an incredibly sharp line appeared out of thin air, emitting an exceptionally unstable aura.
Seeing this, Professor Xia Xinyu asked curiously, "This... you haven't been able to control it yet?"
"No, Professor Xia."
Liu Kong smiled and shook his head, saying, "This is a characteristic of space-type abilities, but it's only happening because I've just initially grasped it."
"Once I get familiar with it, it will become very stable."
Sizzle sizzle—
As he spoke, Liu Kong used his spatial cutting ability to directly cut through an iron door. The smooth and even cut surface almost didn't look man-made.
After doing all this, he looked at Professor Xia Xinyu, his eyes filled with confident radiance, "As long as I can get within five meters of the Golden Tiger King, I will have a chance to kill him!"
