220: Okay, okay... this curled style, right?!

Narrow Wind Valley.

Rat was high in the sky, looking down at everything happening before him, completely unable to imagine that this was actually real.

Rat also had some considerations when setting up the spatial teleportation Magic Formation in Narrow Wind Valley.

If the other party was only pretending, then there would be a way to deal with it.

There were almost no human traces around Narrow Wind Valley. This was an endless wilderness, with only many magical beasts... "Su Feng, what price did you pay out there to bring such abundant resources to Dragon Country!"

Rat looked at the clear blue sky, feeling deeply ashamed.

He had already reached the Ninth-Rank a hundred years ago, but he had always been unable to improve his combat strength. Now, the heavy burden of the entire Dragon Country actually fell on a young man who had only recently changed professions a few months ago.

Shame!

Such shame!

"It seems... Su Feng is that incredibly dazzling new star, whether on Blue Star or in the Yan He System."

"He's worried that Blue Star will be attacked by alien creatures again after he leaves!"

Rat's aged body trembled slightly, and his heart felt a little bitter.

How many years has it been?

The heavy burden on his heart was resolved like a dream bubble.

And after understanding those Demon Kings in the Demon Abyss, Rat also knew of their existence.

It turned out to be an independent space within the Abyss.

No wonder!

The Abyss was always unable to uncover the secrets of the top ten layers.

Knowing this, Rat's hanging heart finally settled down.

If the other party coveted Blue Star, Blue Star would have completely fallen a thousand years ago.

Just one Ninth-Rank Expert could completely flatten Blue Star.

The other party could produce so many precious resources even in the Yan He System, so naturally, they wouldn't look down on a barren land like Blue Star.

Without even the most basic Astral Shuttle formation, trade would require long journeys and roaming through space.

Rat turned to look at the other members of Hidden Shadow and said in a deep voice, "From today onwards, put aside your current tasks and go all out to reach the Ninth-Rank!"

"With so many resources and your centuries of comprehension, advancing to the Ninth-Rank is not an impossible dream!"

Everyone clenched their fists. Even though they had lived for hundreds of years, they couldn't help but be excited at this moment.

This cooperation was equivalent to giving them a new lease on life.

"This situation shows that Su Feng has already established himself in the Yan He System. He's worried that we might be attacked..."

Rat's tone became solemn as he continued, "Therefore, you must fully improve your strength and strive to have several more Ninth-Rank Experts in Dragon Country, so that we will have some self-preservation ability!"

"As for Dragon Abyss Academy, temporarily concentrate resources and prioritize their use for Dragon Seeds. Only by quickly increasing our upper limit can we truly make Su Feng worry-free!"

"Yes!"

No one refused at this moment. Currently, there were several more Ninth-Rank Experts within Dragon Country, and countless Eighth-Rank and Seventh-Rank experts.

In this stable environment, it was the most suitable time to improve their strength!

"Go!"

"I'll take care of the rest."

Everyone instantly disappeared, heading towards their designated positions.

"Brother Rat, our Blazing Flame Dragon Python has handed over all its territory, including all internal resources. Now we're just waiting for Brother Rat's arrangements!"

Although the elder had completely relinquished power, his face was beaming with joy, without the slightest hint of gloom.

For the Blazing Flame Dragon Python clan, they might have previously thought that guarding their small territory and some precious resources could ensure they retained a place on Blue Star.

But compared to the resources obtained by Dragon Country, that was simply a drop in the ocean!

In the future... the other party wouldn't even look at them!

Perhaps, once Dragon Country produced another Ninth-Rank Expert, they might even directly crush their territory.

At this time, submission was the wise move!

Moreover, with this, Dragon Country's rise was undoubtedly confirmed. They had to make the correct decision now!

"Our Exploding Thunder Mad Lion has transported all resources to Dragon Country's territory. Now the other lions are leading Dragon Country's dispatched team to familiarize themselves with the territory!"

"Our Ice Crystal Snow Phoenix has transplanted all the Cui Yan Snow Lotuses into Dragon Country's territory, and by the way, cleared out all the Thorny Flame Giants that had been harassing Dragon Country!"

"The Heavy Armored Earth Dragon is also doing the same. We have arranged for some of the more outstanding talents from our clan to enter Dragon Abyss Academy, looking forward to cooperating with the human prodigies! Now we're just waiting for Brother Rat to give us orders!"

...The Blazing Flame Dragon Python frowned.

Good, good, good... so everyone's getting competitive, huh?!

Just handing over all resources wasn't enough; they even had the heart to let their own clan's geniuses serve as human mounts.

It sounded good to call it cooperation, but to put it less nicely, wasn't it just battle pets?!

These guys were really something!

In this way, when those human prodigies enjoyed the resources, they, as battle pets or mounts, would definitely receive some preferential treatment and might even enjoy them as well.

This move... brilliant!

The Blazing Flame Dragon Python immediately cupped his hands: "Brother Rat, our Blazing Flame Dragon Python clan also has many excellent little ones, and their growth potential is exceptionally huge. If they can cooperate with the prodigies in Dragon Abyss Academy, it would be a blessing for our clan!"

"Hmph! Our Whirlwind Sub-dragon Griffin can fly and fight, and can even boost one's prestige when brought out. It's definitely the best choice for a mount! Brother Rat, I see you are advanced in years and cannot fly by yourself for long..."

"Although I am only an Eighth-Rank, I believe there's no problem for me to take on the job of a mount. Master, what do you think?"

Huh?!

Everyone looked at the burly middle-aged man in disbelief; he wasn't even pretending anymore.

Good, good, good... so you're going all out to compete, huh?!

"Brother Rat, I can also be a mount!"

"Choose me!"

"You should choose me!"

...The more they spoke, the more outrageous it became. Even Rat's cheeks twitched.

These forces around Dragon Country were previously a menace!

Although he had the intention to eradicate them, he was truly powerless.

These clan leaders were all peak Eighth-Rank experts, and the overall combat strength of their clans could not be underestimated.

One move affects the whole situation. If one area was attacked, the forces in other regions would naturally not miss the opportunity to attack Dragon Country.

But now... these people were actually arguing over a mount position.

My goodness!

It's simply unimaginable!

These beings were top-tier combat forces throughout Blue Star!

Rat raised his hand, and everyone immediately became as silent as cicadas in winter.

Their future fate was all tied to Dragon Country.

"Everyone... this old man can still hold on for a few more years, so you don't need to worry."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts pounded.

It's over!
