82: Kill the tiger king at all costs!

Yunxia Mountain Range, Seven-Colored Valley.

After leaving the Northwest Desert, Xia Fan, accompanied by the Magic Cat and with the help of Ta Mu's abilities, rushed back without stopping.

As soon as he appeared, fierce beasts like Bear Da, Tiger Er, Yuan Dali, and Centipede Qian Zu gathered around him.

After confirming that their Big Brother Xia Fan was unharmed, they curiously surrounded the large toad, their faces full of wonder, "This guy, he has a good physique!"

"He looks like he can fight."

"But he's so fat, doesn't he have to eat a lot every day?"

"..."

Listening to the voices of the many fierce beasts, Ta Mu's face was filled with nervousness and apprehension.

He timidly moved backward, and only when he realized he had nowhere left to retreat did he stiffen his neck and pretend to be calm, "Several bosses, I'm just plump!"

Ta Mu was a coward; after all, he hadn't expected there to be so many strong individuals under his Golden Tiger King boss.

Before arriving at the Seven-Colored Canyon, he was still fantasizing about how he would show off his skills by the King's side, but the cruel reality shattered his beautiful dream before it even began.

Even if these fierce beasts each threw one punch, wouldn't they be able to make him vomit blood?

Ta Mu had already decided that he must be honest and obedient from now on, and in addition to obeying the King's orders, he must also properly serve the other strong individuals, otherwise, he might invite disaster.

Boom—

A loud bang instantly attracted the attention of the fierce beasts.

Yuan Dali and the other fierce beasts turned their heads, only to see Xia Fan spit out a golden stone from his mouth, which made a heavy sound as soon as it landed.

Especially since this stone was quite large, it immediately piqued their curiosity.

"What is this?"

Wolf San's eyes gleamed with cunning.

He cautiously stepped forward and touched the extraterrestrial meteorite iron with his paw, but found no abnormalities, and couldn't help but let out a confused low growl, "A big rock?"

"It doesn't look like any kind of rare treasure?"

"Let me try!"

To the side, Bear Da was eager to try.

Among these fierce beasts, his strength was considered great, but he was ranked behind King Kong and Yuan Dali.

The loud bang he heard just now directly aroused his curiosity.

Seeing this, the other fierce beasts made way.

"Roar—"

With a loud roar, Bear Da stood upright, his arms tightly embracing the extraterrestrial meteorite iron, his bulging muscles instantly rippling.

But even though he used all his might, he couldn't budge this large stone at all, and he was immediately shocked, "Holy crap!"

"Why is it so heavy?"

"I don't believe it!"

Amidst his roars, Bear Da directly put in all his effort, but in the end, he only managed to move the extraterrestrial meteorite iron a tiny bit.

Tiger Er and Wolf San, seeing this, both looked towards King Kong, but the latter just stood quietly beside Xia Fan, unmoving.

Helpless, Tiger Er and Wolf San, unable to contain their curiosity, had to go forward themselves, but they also couldn't move it.

For a moment, the fierce beasts were incredibly surprised.

But the next second, the extraterrestrial meteorite iron moved.

"It's the Boss!"

Centipede Qian Zu exclaimed, immediately pointing out the source of the movement to the fierce beasts.

To their immense surprise, Xia Fan was able to control the meteorite iron at will, and they all became envious.

Especially King Kong and Yuan Dali and the other fierce beasts known for their strength; at this moment, their envy was beyond words.

It made sense, such a heavy object, even if it wasn't refined into a weapon, if it was kept in a high-speed flying state, the power of it hitting someone would be unimaginable!

"Bring all the rare treasures you've collected during this time."

After demonstrating to the fierce beasts, Xia Fan directly gave the order, and the fierce beasts immediately went to follow his instructions.

He intended to try and break through to the third rank.

Previously, his strength had already increased after devouring fierce beasts like Storm Fury.

If he could break through to the ranks of a third-rank fierce beast upon his return and refine a spirit weapon, Xia Fan would have the confidence to deal with humanity's ultimate weapons!

...Meanwhile, in the Imperial Capital.

Inside the Research Institute, Professor Professor Xia Xinyu's expression was particularly grim; the video footage from the Northwest Desert was playing in front of him.

He remained silent throughout the viewing.

Professor Xia Xinyu hadn't expected that a powerful second-rank space-type ability user would be instantly killed by the Golden Tiger King!

This was even more shocking than Lin Feng's death!

What he found even harder to accept was that the army dispatched by the Northwest Military Department for this battle was completely annihilated!

This time, the Golden Tiger King no longer ignored the humans who appeared, as he had before.

Inside the Research Institute's conference room, you could hear a pin drop.

Click—

When the sound of the video pausing rang out, Professor Professor Xia Xinyu leaned his hands on the table and looked at everyone present, "The Golden Tiger King's potential is too great, as you've all seen."

"If he cannot be eliminated as soon as possible, it will bring endless trouble for us humans!"

These words were not an exaggeration.

The Golden Tiger King's growth speed was simply too fast; if humanity hesitated even a little, they would miss the opportunity to eliminate him!

Now, Professor Xia Xinyu was beginning to feel some regret.

He stared intently at the paused video screen, a myriad of thoughts flashing through his mind, "Back then, after discovering the Golden Tiger King, we should have organized people to deal with him."

"At that time, the Golden Tiger King was not yet powerful and still feared our human hot weapons."

"It's just... one wrong step leads to many wrong steps."

"Now, we have long lost the initiative to deal with the Golden Tiger King!"

"Professor!"

Just then, an officer suddenly stood up.

As everyone's gaze converged, he said in a solemn voice, "The areas where other fierce beasts are located are often frequented or inhabited by our human communities; dealing with them requires considering the safety of the local people."

"But the Golden Tiger King is different!"

As the officer spoke, his eyes flashed with excitement and fanaticism, "The mountain range where the Golden Tiger King is entrenched is uninhabited."

"We could carry out bombings in his area!"

These words were almost universally agreed upon by all the officers.

They were soldiers, and the battlefield was their ultimate destination, but in the face of non-human enemies like fierce beasts, all means seemed less important.

Everyone just wanted to ensure that humanity would not be impacted by this.

Therefore, they no longer cared about what consequences it might cause!

Even if the mountain range where the Golden Tiger King resided contained many rare treasures, they no longer cared!

"Professor, this method is feasible!"

"They're all just beasts anyway; kill them if you kill them."

"Please, Professor, consider it carefully!"

These officers were determined to eliminate the Golden Tiger King!

"Using that kind of weapon, I'm afraid the higher-ups will need to deliberate carefully in their meeting, and it will take some time to decide."

Professor Xia Xinyu listened to these words, pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, clearly in agreement, "Then... let's expedite this matter."
