Reborn as a tiger, he was chosen by the nation as its guardian beast.

Chapter 107 First Encounter: Tiger's Roar vs. Whale's Cry

Amidst the roar of the helicopter rotors, Wang Hu gazed down from the sea, a thousand meters above the ground.

The sea was a deep, dark blue, and the enormous body of the extraordinary blue whale that had just attacked them was clearly visible underwater. It was also tilting its head back, its small eyes piercing through the water, looking directly at the iron bird in the sky.

"Boom!"

Just then, another column of water shot into the sky from the sea below.

The water column tore through the sea surface, shooting straight into the sky with a terrifying roar.

However, the water column was clearly not powerful enough, and it only reached a height of more than 700 meters before it began to dissipate and turn into a misty spray.

Even so, the rising water vapor and turbulent air currents still caused the helicopter to lurch violently in the air.

"Raise! Keep rising!"

The pilot calmly maneuvered the helicopter and began to climb to a higher altitude again.

In the vast ocean, the colossal whale that had just spouted a jet of water realized that its attack range was insufficient. A cold glint flashed in its small eyes, and with a sway of its massive body, it began to sink rapidly, quickly disappearing into the deep blue seawater without a trace.

Inside the cabin, Fang Zheng watched this scene, then looked at the pilot in front of him in a gruff voice and shouted a warning.

"Fly higher! This isn't even the biggest one yet. What if that giant can shoot up to over a thousand meters and knock us down? We'll be done for!"

As the helicopter continued to ascend, Wang Hu couldn't help but become more vigilant.

Although he was confident that he was not afraid of any extraordinary creatures on land, this was, after all, the vast ocean.

If he were to actually fall into the sea and be attacked by a group of giant whales the size of small warships, even if he didn't die, he would probably be badly injured.

With a slight thought, the Nine-Aperture Divine Stone within his body trembled slightly, and the surrounding wind spiritual energy began to activate, accumulating power to guard against any possible attacks.

The helicopter was moving very fast, and the outline of Yellowstone Island ahead was becoming clearer and clearer.

But at that moment, Wang Hu's sense of danger suddenly triggered a frantic warning in his mind.

Almost simultaneously, the sisters Li Qingyi and Li Ziyi, who were in the corner, turned pale and spoke up to warn each other.

"Next! The biggest one is about to attack!"

"Boom!"

Before they could finish speaking, and before the driver could react, they continued to pull upwards.

The once calm sea suddenly bulged upwards into a huge water bubble, followed by a terrifying water column several times thicker than before, shooting into the sky with a devastating force.

That's not even the most alarming part.

What alarmed Wang Hu even more was that within that crystal-clear column of water, there seemed to be a rapidly spinning living creature.

The water column eventually shot up to a height of one thousand meters before slowly sliding down.

At this moment, the helicopter had already ascended to an altitude of 1,500 meters, and naturally was not directly affected by the water column.

Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, a sudden flash occurred within the descending water column.

A beam of pale blue light suddenly detached from the water column and shot toward the helicopter they were in at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye!

The object resembled a long, narrow sword, slicing through the air with a sharp whistling sound.

"It's the sword-shaped protrusion on the head of a swordfish!"

"It was launched by the swordfish hidden in the water column." Li Qingyi recognized the creature and couldn't help but shout a reminder.

In her perception, this thing was extremely fast and could definitely hit the helicopter they were in.

He could almost see their helicopter being hit and crashing into the sea.

At that moment, a sense of panic rose in her heart.

But Wang Hu reacted even faster than her.

Almost the instant the swordfish emerged from the water column and shot out the blue, sword-like bony protrusion from its head, Wang Hu had already moved.

His massive body leaped out of the open hatch.

"Big cat!" Fang Zheng and Wang Ye exclaimed simultaneously from behind.

But Wang Hu ignored them completely. The moment he leaped out of the cabin, a sudden gust of wind arose around him. An invisible force supported his body, preventing him from falling. Instead, he transformed into a golden streak of light and glided towards the blue longsword.

"call!"

He raised his right forepaw.

A slap landed.

"Snap!"

A crisp sound.

The blue longsword, harder than steel, was struck squarely by him. A cold glint flashed in Wang Hu's eyes. As the saying goes, it is impolite not to reciprocate. Did these guys really think he had no temper after their repeated attacks?

The moment his tiger claws touched the bone longsword, all his strength suddenly gathered in his claws, and he brought it down with a thud. Then, the thing shot towards the sea below at an even faster speed than it had come.

After doing all this, Wang Hu didn't stop. The wind around him surged again, carrying his massive body as he continued to glide towards Huangshi Island, which wasn't far away.

The blue longsword, launched by the swordfish and then slapped back by Wang Hu, crashed into the sea with a loud bang.

Then, without losing momentum, it suddenly shot towards a huge creature lurking underwater below.

"Pfft!"

A dull thud as a sharp weapon pierced flesh.

The blue longsword plunged deep into the giant whale's body, completely disappearing inside.

"Ugh—!"

The next moment, a deafening roar rose from beneath the sea surface, a sound filled with pain and rage, as if an ancient behemoth was roaring in the depths of the ocean.

The calm sea surface seemed to be suddenly whipped up by a Category 12 typhoon, with towering waves crashing up.

A colossal whale, its size beyond description, leaped half its body out of the sea, riding on waves tens of meters high.

It aimed at the gliding tiger in the air, suddenly opened its huge mouth, which was big enough to swallow a fishing boat, and let out a deafening roar.

Wang Hu was gliding toward Huangshi Island when he sensed the violent aura behind him and suddenly turned his head.

They also opened their mouths.

"roar!"

A tiger's roar, imbued with unparalleled tiger power, burst forth, instantly drowning out the whale's howl.

Both roars were completely different, yet both contained terrifyingly powerful energy fluctuations.

Two invisible sound waves collided violently in mid-air.

"boom!"

A deafening sonic boom suddenly exploded between the sea and the sky.

This scene left Fang Zheng and the others on the helicopter dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, Cui Jiuyuan and his team, located at the South China Sea base, also witnessed all of this through real-time monitoring via drones.

Instantly, gasps of shock filled the entire conference room.

Clearly, all the soldiers and officers in the base who witnessed this scene, including Cui Jiuyou himself, were shocked by the terrifying power displayed in the first encounter between the two giant beasts.
