83: Go to the eastern sea!
Seven-Colored Valley.
To break through to the third rank, Xia Fan directly consumed some spirit herbs.
But he was surprised to find that although he had indeed reached the peak of the second rank,
He was just a tiny bit short and couldn't break through to the third rank.
"Where did the problem lie?"
At this moment, Xia Fan stared at the natural treasures in front of him, lost in thought.
He had a hunch that even if he ate all the natural treasures before him, he might not be able to break through successfully.
This was like encountering a bottleneck; he could only achieve his wish and complete his transformation when a special time arrived or a special event occurred!
Thinking of this, Xia Fan immediately roared, "Centipede Qian Zu!"
"Boss, I'm here!"
In an instant, Centipede Qian Zu appeared, respectfully prostrating before Xia Fan: "What are your orders, Boss?"
"I want you and your kin to dig a huge cave underground near the valley. This cave should be as deep as possible, and you must work quickly!"
"In short, gather as many members of your kin as you can."
Hearing this, Centipede Qian Zu was somewhat bewildered.
However, since it was an order personally given by his boss, he would faithfully complete it even if he didn't understand why. "Please rest assured, Boss, I'll take care of this."
The next moment, Centipede Qian Zu quickly burrowed into the earth to contact his kin.
Xia Fan looked at the valley with a complex expression.
He knew human nature well; the disturbance he had caused in the Northwest Desert meant that their retaliation would arrive very soon.
And on his way back to the Yunxia Mountain Range, he had encountered some humans or human equipment, so his whereabouts could not be kept secret. The Yunxia Mountain Range would definitely be discovered.
Since he couldn't break through for now, Xia Fan knew that he had to prepare for both eventualities to face the potential ultimate weapon strike!
"Although Yunxia Mountain is my base, as long as the fierce beasts are still here and the natural treasures are still here, even if it's destroyed, I can preserve my strength!"
Xia Fan looked at the seven-colored lotus in the pond, his eyes flickering, "The power of that ultimate weapon is truly immense, and it seems that only deep underground can the safety of my subordinates be guaranteed!"
However, he did not include himself in the ranks of those hiding underground.
"In about five days, the second skyfall meteorite should descend in the Eastern Sea Area."
At this moment, Xia Fan looked up slightly at the clear sky and fell into contemplation. "I remember that in my previous life, accompanying the extraterrestrial meteorite iron in the Eastern Sea was also a water spirit fruit."
"This item not only possesses vast energy but also allows the consumer to have an affinity with water!"
He thought very clearly: since his own strength couldn't be rapidly improved, he should gather more methods to enhance his adaptability.
This was also a way to strengthen himself.
Thinking of the Eastern Sea Area, a murderous glint flashed in Xia Fan's eyes. "In that vast ocean, there's no shortage of fierce beasts!"
"After all, the ocean's area exceeds that of the land, and it contains even more creatures."
"If I consume the bodies and crystals of those fierce beasts, breaking through to the third rank shouldn't be difficult!"
Xia Fan's considerations were very comprehensive, as he had to think this way.
Now, he wasn't fighting alone with Magic Cat.
The lives and deaths of so many fierce beasts under him were all linked to him.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "Perhaps, if my whereabouts are exposed, humans will be even more wary!"
"Roar!"
Having made up his mind, Xia Fan let out a low growl. After calling Magic Cat and Ta Mu, he roared again, "Let's go, I'll take you to see other places."
"Ta Mu, use your ability to head east until we reach the sea, then stop."
"Croak—"
Ta Mu obeyed.
Although he wasn't sure what the sea was, since the Great King wanted him to take everyone there, it must be related to water.
After several water escapes by Ta Mu, Xia Fan and his group finally appeared in the eastern coastal region.
During this time, wherever they went, Xia Fan would intentionally expose himself, only continuing their journey once he was sure someone had seen them.
He did this to let humans know that he was not in the Yunxia Mountain Range at this time!
..."Professor, Golden Tiger King has left the Yunxia Mountain Range and is heading east."
In the Research Institute, Professor Xia Xinyu was communicating plans with various military officers and instructing them to help collect fierce beast blood or limbs as much as possible.
Upon hearing this news, he immediately showed surprise, "He left the Yunxia Mountain Range?"
"Yes!"
"The news has been confirmed, it's absolutely true."
Hearing this, Professor Xia Xinyu pondered for a moment, then immediately ordered loudly, "Notify everyone to prepare according to the direction the Tiger King is heading!"
He spoke while staring intently at the surveillance footage.
Originally, Professor Xia Xinyu had planned to encircle the Yunxia Mountain Range, and after the bombing began, dispatch armed forces to clear out any stragglers. These deployments had already been made and were underway.
But the Tiger King had actually left the Yunxia Mountain Range.
Professor Xia Xinyu sighed inwardly, "Will this plan succeed? Our plan was disrupted by the Golden Tiger King before it even began."
"This feeling is very bad!"
However, Professor Xia Xinyu was willing but powerless!
He did want to kill the Golden Tiger King quickly and resolve this major concern.
But fierce beasts wouldn't act according to human ideas, and that Golden Tiger King seemed smarter than other fierce beasts, so the plan had to be comprehensive.
The armed forces that were originally supposed to participate in the encirclement plan of the Yunxia Mountain Range were on their way to the front lines.
But after receiving the news, they could only immediately change direction and head towards where the Golden Tiger King might appear.
For a time, the human armed forces were extremely busy, even somewhat chaotic... "Great King, is this the sea?"
With a splash, Ta Mu brought Xia Fan and Magic Cat to the eastern coastal area.
He looked at the boundless sea before him and couldn't help but exclaim, "How vast it is! This is simply my paradise. Doesn't it mean I can go wherever I want?"
Xia Fan heard his cry and rolled his eyes in annoyance, "We're not here to play."
"Ta Mu, according to the direction I just pointed, look for any islands along the way. We need to set foot on those places."
"Croak—"
Ta Mu let out a loud cry and, once again, enveloped Xia Fan and Magic Cat, disappearing into the vast sea.
From then on, there was no more news of them.
After all, Xia Fan had already revealed his whereabouts, and now, for the second skyfall meteorite, he had to be careful.
Boom boom boom—
On the second day after he landed on the island, counting roughly the time, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky.
Xia Fan looked up and saw a stream of light falling at an extremely fast speed, changing the color of the entire sky.
Then, the second meteorite slammed into the seabed, stirring up monstrous waves!
When terror descends, Ghost Money will become the most important resource, and with money, even ghosts can be made to work.
