78: Xia Fan: It's mine, no one can take it!

The extraterrestrial meteorite iron fell to the ground.

Several ferocious beasts from the desert gathered around the extraterrestrial meteorite iron, and a rustling sound emanated from them.

Their gazes were fixed on this extraterrestrial meteorite iron that had fallen from the sky, and they simultaneously displayed a human-like expression of contemplation.

Perhaps due to mutual apprehension, none of these ferocious beasts approached immediately, causing the atmosphere in the field to be somewhat tense, but this situation was quickly broken.

However, all the ferocious beasts present knew that this extraterrestrial meteorite iron was definitely a treasure.

Although none of them currently understood the purpose of the extraterrestrial meteorite iron, driven by their instinctive greed for treasure, they all wanted to claim it as their own and thereby become the king of this desert.

At this moment, a sand scorpion rustled for a distance, and its powerful pincers tried to strike the extraterrestrial meteorite iron, immediately producing a thumping sound.

Its action did not provoke opposition from the other ferocious beasts.

Currently, the ferocious beasts were all exploring this extraterrestrial meteorite iron.

Dong—

Suddenly, the sand scorpion used all its strength to violently strike the extraterrestrial meteorite iron, and the force caused it to retreat several steps, even its pincers were numb from the shock, but the extraterrestrial meteorite iron in front of it was completely unharmed.

At this moment, the look of contemplation in its eyes grew even stronger.

And this action directly caused a huge reaction among the group of ferocious beasts.

No one knew how powerful this extraterrestrial meteorite iron was, so what if the sand scorpion broke it?

What they wanted was an entire piece of extraterrestrial meteorite iron, not for it to be shattered into pieces.

“Hiss hiss—”

Suddenly, a sand lizard nearby let out a few strange cries, then opened its mouth and bit at the sand scorpion.

The two ferocious beasts immediately wrestled, but although the sand scorpion had a hard shell, the sand lizard's movements were exceptionally agile. It dodged and bit the sand scorpion's tail, causing the latter to roll violently.

The sand scorpion was pinned tightly to the ground, somewhat unable to move.

In its desperation, it actually raised its tail stinger high, then, taking advantage of the sand lizard's distraction, it thrust it sharply forward.

Rip—

But the sand lizard's skin was also exceptionally tough; the tail stinger merely grazed its skin before heavily embedding itself in the sand.

And this action completely enraged the sand lizard.

It began to bite fiercely, only stopping slightly after the sand scorpion had lost several legs.

A moment later, the sand scorpion hurriedly retreated, yielding its original position to the other ferocious beasts.

“Rustle!”

It paced anxiously in the periphery, but dared not approach again.

In fact, the overall strength of these ferocious beasts was similar, but each ferocious beast had a different focus, which resulted in them being evenly matched.

A peculiar balance formed among these ferocious beasts.

“Hiss hiss!”

The Giant Tiger, which had just been coiled up, suddenly flicked its tongue, then shot out like lightning, heading straight for the extraterrestrial meteorite iron.

It wrapped its long body around the extraterrestrial meteorite iron, seemingly displaying its formidable power and dominance.

At this moment, the numerous ferocious beasts began to observe again, and some even quietly retreated.

They were all creatures living in this desert, and they had also dealt with the Giant Tiger, so they knew how terrifying it was and were unwilling to confront it directly.

“Hiss hiss...”

As the flicking sounds continued, the Giant Tiger suddenly opened its gaping maw and bit directly at the extraterrestrial meteorite iron.

It actually intended to swallow the extraterrestrial meteorite iron whole, claiming it for itself!

The Giant Tiger itself could swallow objects thicker than its own body; if it truly succeeded, wouldn't this extraterrestrial meteorite iron be out of reach for the other ferocious beasts?

Therefore, the other ferocious beasts also began to grow anxious, but constrained by the Giant Tiger's slippery body, although they could approach, they still couldn't inflict too much damage on it.

The numerous ferocious beasts grew increasingly anxious.

This Giant Tiger was a flashy, brute-force fellow.

The ferocious beasts wanted to contend for it, but they also worried that the opponent would directly strangle them to death.

For a time, they were in a dilemma.

“Croak—”

Just then, a gigantic toad appeared.

The moment it croaked, a tongue, more than ten meters long, shot out like lightning, heading straight for the Giant Tiger.

That tongue seemed to possess mysterious power; as thick mucus flowed from it, it actually coiled around the Giant Tiger and then carried it away from where the extraterrestrial meteorite iron was located.

All of this happened in a flash; the other ferocious beasts hadn't even clearly seen what had occurred before they found the Giant Tiger had vanished from sight.

Boom!

Immediately following, a powerful tiger claw suddenly appeared, and in the next second, it slammed the Giant Tiger to its death, causing dust to rise.

Under the leadership of River Lord Tamu, Xia Fan arrived, and upon his arrival, he effortlessly killed the Giant Tiger.

Instantly, an immensely powerful beastly aura permeated the entire area. The ferocious beasts surrounding the extraterrestrial meteorite iron instinctively retreated, as they knew that this Golden Giant Tiger was an absolutely unmatchable existence.

“Roar!”

Xia Fan let out a low growl, then looked at the extraterrestrial meteorite iron with burning eyes, excitement showing in his pupils. In his deafening roar, there was a strong sense of emotion and dominance, “I finally made it!”

“But I didn't expect these few weaklings to dare to covet the divine metal?”

“Heh heh, truly overestimating themselves, because the divine metal is mine!”

“It can only be mine!”

Xia Fan's powerful entrance instantly intimidated the nearby ferocious beasts, causing them all to not dare to move casually, much less make any sound.

“Ta Mu, kill all these guys!”

At this moment, Xia Fan glanced coldly at the group of ferocious beasts and then unhesitatingly issued the command.

For a time, the more than ten-meter-long tongue danced like a host of demons, frantically moving through the area, each retraction carrying away a ferocious beast.

These ferocious beasts, who had arrived first, had not considered fighting back, but Ta Mu's body was simply too tough to cause any damage.

A bloody scent immediately spread through the field!

“Look, what is that?”

Far away, at the temporary base of the human armed forces.

A soldier, holding binoculars, witnessed all of this and immediately showed a surprised expression, “That couldn't be the Golden Tiger King, could it? But didn't he already leave? Why would he come back?”

Immediately, a commotion erupted among the crowd.

In fact, humans were still immersed in the Golden Tiger King's power, and a natural fear of Xia Fan had developed in their hearts.

At this point, some soldiers had already realized that this opportunity was probably not for humans.

“General!”

Soon after, an officer came before Lin Xiao, reporting with a solemn expression, “New ferocious beasts have entered the field; they seem to have started fighting over that extraterrestrial meteorite iron.”

“Is that so?”

Lin Xiao took the binoculars somewhat puzzled and looked, then immediately took a deep breath, showing an incredulous expression, “It's the Tiger King?”

“Could it be that the Tiger King also took a fancy to this divine iron that fell from the sky?”
