84: Meteorite appears again, first battle with sea beasts!

"Another anomaly has descended!"

"This is... almost the same meteorite as the one in the desert last time!"

"Will this extraterrestrial meteorite iron be obtained by us humans this time?"

When the humans in the Eastern Sea Area discovered the changes in the sea, they were all extremely shocked.

Such a grand display made it hard not to notice.

Some official personnel also saw this anomaly and immediately roared at their companions, "Quickly send the footage from here back to the Imperial Capital Research Institute!"

"The Eastern Sea Area... is about to become turbulent!"

...Imperial Capital, Research Institute.

In less than half an hour, Professor Professor Xia Xinyu saw the latest footage and spoke in a solemn voice, "What a heaven-sent opportunity!"

"Everyone, you must seize this opportunity."

"I request an order for the Naval forces to depart immediately and acquire this extraterrestrial meteorite iron as quickly as possible!"

As he spoke, Professor Xia Xinyu seemed to think of something and quickly cautioned, "And be sure to note that the Golden Tiger King might also be nearby; everyone must be prepared."

"If possible, we must hold back the Golden Tiger King!"

"This time, we absolutely cannot let him take away the extraterrestrial meteorite iron again."

At this moment, Professor Xia Xinyu finally understood why the Golden Tiger King had exposed himself to human sight during this period.

Although he was puzzled as to why he had detected this information in advance, the situation was urgent, leaving him no time to ponder.

A moment later, the Naval Commander received this order and immediately dispatched everyone, "Everyone, assemble!"

"Target -- Eastern Sea Area!"

Huge warships, one after another, rode the wind and waves, rushing at full speed towards where the meteorite had fallen.

This operation was exceptionally swift, as there was a precedent of the Golden Tiger King snatching it before, and Professor Xia Xinyu no longer dared to gamble.

When the fleet arrived at the designated sea area, the Naval Commander immediately waved his hand, almost roaring, "Execute the plan!"

"According to the previously formulated plan, first use torpedoes to bombard the meteorite impact zone to clear out the sea beasts in that area, then dispatch helicopter special forces to dive and salvage the meteorite."

"Attention!"

"The Golden Tiger King is very likely to appear in this mission area!"

As the order was given, the entire fleet sprang into action, with busy soldiers everywhere on the deck.

"Fire!"

Boom boom boom!

In an instant, the roaring shells, like thunder, struck down like a violent storm, directly covering the entire meteorite impact zone.

After more than ten minutes, the waves from the bombardment in this sea area gradually subsided, and many carcasses of sea beasts slowly floated to the surface.

Seeing this, the Naval Commander's eyes flashed with a hint of disdain, and he issued another order, "Special forces, move out!"

"Yes!"

In a flash, more than twenty special forces members jumped down without hesitation.

After just a few minutes, a special forces member reported back, "The steel cable has been attached, you can pull it up!"

Creak! Creak!

The steel cable wrapped around the meteorite instantly straightened, even emitting a grating sound, but the meteorite remained motionless.

The special forces members at the bottom of the sea were all incredibly shocked upon receiving the information, "What?"

"Four helicopters can't even pull this one-meter-long and wide meteorite?"

This discovery was too astonishing to believe.

On the main battleship, the Naval Commander watched the sea surface suddenly darken, as if something was swarming towards them, and immediately shouted into the communicator, "Quickly tell the special forces to return!"

"Ah..."

However, just as his voice fell, the screams of the special forces members came through the communicator; it was clearly too late.

The sea beasts in the surrounding sea area had already pounced, including an enormous sea turtle, whose size was comparable to a giant warship.

This group of sea beasts immediately engaged in a fierce struggle for the extraterrestrial meteorite iron, instantly causing undercurrents in the seabed and blood to spill everywhere. And even though the special forces members were not specifically targeted by the sea beasts, they were all wiped out within ten minutes!

When the news was relayed back, all humans, including the Naval Commander, were incredibly shocked!

..."Now!"

"Ta Mu, activate Water Escape and go!"

In the distance, on an island from which the battlefield could be observed, Xia Fan, upon seeing that humans and sea beasts had begun fighting, immediately gave the order.

Led by Ta Mu, the three of them immediately arrived at the site where the extraterrestrial meteorite iron had fallen.

"Bang!"

As soon as he appeared, Xia Fan saw the gigantic sea turtle. Without a word, he slammed a paw onto its shell. All his attacks were incredibly swift, so fast that the sea turtle didn't even react.

"Roar —"

The giant sea turtle was roaring in pain, its eyes and mouth oozing crimson blood.

This paw strike was extremely powerful; although the giant sea turtle's shell did not shatter, countless cracks appeared, and the flesh and internal organs beneath its shell had all been shattered!

After one strike, Xia Fan paid no mind to the giant sea turtle's fate.

He simply cleaved with a single paw, instantly splitting the seawater. Any sea beast on either side of the rift that touched it would die; there was absolutely no third possibility!

Such a massive commotion instantly attracted the attention of the human fleet.

Someone began to shout in panic.

"It's the Tiger King!"

"The Golden Tiger King is here!"

The Naval Commander frowned tightly, silently watching the Tiger King's arrival, then hastily notified the Imperial Capital Research Institute.

Professor Xia Xinyu was stunned for a moment, but then quickly growled with a fierce expression, "His appearance in the sea area is a rare opportunity!"

"Kill him!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The moment the order was given, a large number of torpedoes and missiles instantly bombarded Xia Fan, clearly intending to kill him with one strike.

"Damn it!"

Xia Fan cursed inwardly, his mood terrible.

He was currently in the sea area, so he wasn't afraid of missiles, as most of them had lost their threat, but those torpedoes were specifically designed for underwater attacks, and their power was considerable.

And in this ocean, Xia Fan's strength was greatly weakened, especially some skills like Storm Art and Flame Control, which were difficult to use.

"King Kong Transformation!"

Left with no choice, Xia Fan could only choose Berserk and the King Kong Transformation skill to empower himself.

"Tiger Brother, I'm here to help you!"

Beside him, Magic Cat fully shielded Xia Fan and then directly faced the torpedoes.

After all, there were too many of them, making it impossible to dodge; they could only endure the impact!

Bang bang bang!

After a round of bombardment, the sea area where Xia Fan was located instantly became a mess, with no clean spot anywhere.

In the Research Institute, when Professor Xia Xinyu heard the Naval Commander say that the visibility at the scene was blurry and he couldn't determine if the Golden Tiger King was still alive, he said with a grim expression, "The Golden Tiger King isn't that easy to kill."

"Now, the Golden Tiger King is in the sea area, and many weapons are ineffective against him."

"You must hold on; the Imperial Capital's ability team is already heading your way!"

"This time, we are determined to kill the Golden Tiger King!"

Professor Xia Xinyu had considered ultimate weapons, but in the sea, seawater would greatly weaken their power and even trigger tsunamis against human cities!
