90: The whole army is shocked!

"Yuan Dali, Xiong Da!"

That day, Xia Fan summoned all the fierce beasts together, then called out the names of these two fierce beasts.

"Here!"

"Boss, what's the matter?"

When they stood still, Xia Fan took out the remaining two water spirit fruits, his roar containing a hint of expectation, "Take these water spirit fruits and consume them."

"From now on, you will be able to control the power of water and help out more."

Because he wanted to build a lake around the mountain, Xia Fan gave the water spirit fruits to his generals, and the Magic Cat and Ta Mu had already consumed them. As for the other fierce beasts... they would have to wait until the water spirit fruit tree bore its next round of fruit.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Dali and Xiong Da were very excited, almost jogging to take the spirit fruits. The other fierce beasts watched with great envy.

After distributing them, Xia Fan then focused his attention on the Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine.

He found that the Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine was significantly stronger than before. Every leaf and tendril of it was almost dark red, but Xia Fan didn't know if this thing could currently withstand the impact of a nuclear bomb.

This was a very important question.

After all, in Xia Fan's base camp, there were many spirit trees, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and even supreme treasures like the seven-colored lotus. If they were destroyed by a nuclear bomb, the loss would be immense.

The Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine hadn't absorbed too much flesh and blood recently, relying only on the rich spiritual energy in the Seven-Colored Valley to grow, so its growth rate wasn't slow.

But it was, after all, just a plant, and that came with its natural weaknesses.

The impact and terrifying high temperature brought by a nuclear bomb could almost turn everything into ashes.

"Still can't take too many risks."

At this thought, the light in Xia Fan's eyes gradually firmed, "In front of humanity's ultimate weapons, the Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine and the others are still too fragile."

"When the time comes, if I really face a nuclear bomb bombardment, I still need to protect them as much as possible!"

He had already made up his mind that if that moment truly arrived, he would directly unleash his Natal Spirit Cauldron to protect this valley.

The base camp must not be lost... In Yunzhou City suburbs, in a military zone.

At this moment, all the soldiers stationed here had gathered, lining up in the square, and a serious atmosphere continuously spread.

When he saw the vehicles passing through the middle of the entrance and finally stopping, the military zone commander immediately shouted loudly, "Welcome General Ning!"

"Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!"

Amidst a thunderous applause, a middle-aged general pushed open the car door and appeared in the sight of all the soldiers.

He looked around, and when the applause slightly weakened, he smiled and waved his hand, "Comrades, you've worked hard, no need to be so polite."

"General Ning, this way please!"

The military zone commander hurried forward, motioning for the other party to go to the rostrum.

General Ning's gaze shifted, and he suddenly saw a familiar figure. He immediately smiled and waved, "Li Jian, why are you here too?"

The young man he was speaking to was none other than Li Jian, the ancient martial arts expert previously dispatched to the Eastern Sea Area, and now also a nascent stage Tier 2 ability user.

What was even more unexpected was the relationship between the two of them.

Li Jian strode forward, his expression excited, "Uncle, last time the Golden Tiger King escaped, but this time, I will definitely cut off its head!"

"The Golden Tiger King will undoubtedly die by my hand!"

As he said this, Li Jian's face was full of confidence, not feeling there was any problem with it at all.

Upon hearing this, General Ning showed a surprised expression.

He carefully examined his nephew, and finally asked in confusion, "With your amateur swordsmanship?"

He had seen the previous battles involving Tier 2 ability users and the Golden Tiger King. After all, even the terrifying attacks of a Tier 2 spatial ability user couldn't harm the Golden Tiger King.

So at this moment, he was discouraging his nephew, simply not wanting him to go to his death.

"Uncle, I'm already prepared!"

Seeing this, General Ning didn't say much.

He looked at the countless soldiers in front of him, and after a brief scan, he again loudly declared, "Comrades, the entire army is ready for battle!"

"Two days later, we will advance into the Yunxia Mountain Range and clear out the fierce beasts!"

No one expected that General Ning's speech would be so brief, and after only saying a word or two, he turned and left without any hesitation.

However, this also, in an intangible way, gave the soldiers immense courage.

Most of the time, to boost confidence, people would speak at length, as there was no prior estimation of what was to be done in the future.

But General Ning's stance gave all the soldiers a misconception—that they were already prepared to go to war with the fierce beasts and had absolute confidence in defeating them.

Therefore, even before General Ning's figure had disappeared, the passionate shouts of the soldiers erupted behind him.

"Our army will win!"

"Humanity will win!"

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

...Boom boom boom... As expected, two days later, tanks, one after another, departed from the military zone, carrying a large amount of ammunition, heading straight for Yunzhou City.

They were to pass through the urban area and reach the Yunxia Mountain Range on the other side, launching an all-out war against the fierce beasts.

Everything proceeded very smoothly, which gradually made the soldiers relax, even having time to chat.

"How many fierce beasts can we kill this time?"

"I heard there are quite a few fierce beasts in the Yunxia Mountain Range, some are even in groups, a bit difficult to deal with."

"What's there to be afraid of?"

"They're just a bunch of animals, can they really stop our cannon fire?"

"..."

Amidst the discussions of the soldiers, General Ning sat silently in the modified carriage, intently staring at the map of the Yunxia Mountain Range. Li Jian, the military zone commander, and others beside him all held their breath.

As time passed, orders were issued one after another, and the battle plan was rapidly being perfected.

At the same time, at the front of the main force.

A squad of scouts walked at the very front, gathering intelligence while also clearing some obstacles for the main force.

Suddenly, a scout immediately made a gesture. After all his comrades stopped, he spoke with great confusion, "Strange, why is there such a heavy morning fog in Yunzhou?"

"The weather forecast didn't say Yunzhou would have fog today."

Upon hearing this, the other scouts also looked puzzled, and someone even said, "Yeah, even if there was fog, it should be thicker near the Yunxia Mountain Range, but we haven't even arrived yet."

"This morning fog looks just like a damp room during the plum rain season!"

Driven by curiosity, the scouts quickly moved forward, and soon after, exclamations of surprise rang out, "Is that... a lake?"

"How is that possible!"

"I've been here before, there wasn't even a large pond!"

As he finished speaking, someone stepped forward, felt it carefully, and then turned back with a shocked expression, looking at his comrades, "This... it really is a lake!"
