"I'm saying, we've made such a big fuss this time, are we going to all be ruined here? The Serpent-People tribe are not to be trifled with."

"What are you afraid of? Why don't we go to the Jia Ma Empire? Isn't it so we can develop faster and plunder more resources? The Faction Blood War has now spread to the countries of the Northwest Continent. It's the perfect time for us to flex our muscles!"

"That's true. Didn't you see the statistics Tian Yao Company did when version 2.0 first launched? Players in our Mulan Empire, only those above Dou Ling, have an average level two stars higher than those in the Jia Ma Empire!"

"Besides, if something goes wrong, the tall guy will take the blame. Faction Blood War are a rare occurrence. Seize the opportunity, get as many game items as possible from the Serpent-People tribe players, and level up quickly—that's the key!"

"That's true. The Mulan Empire may not have much else, but their Combined Attack Dou Skills are really useful. The Jia Ma Empire really doesn't have anything."

"Speaking of which, players from the Chuyun Empire and the Luoyan Empire didn't come this time."

"Who knows? Anyway, the players from those two empires often have minor clashes with us, but they're all relatively restrained. Everyone's focused on the Central Plains map that will be released later. The Central Plains is the real stage for Battle Through the Heavens the Heavens!"

As Yang Shan traveled through the area, the discussions among the players of the Mulan Empire were very lively.

Players who join other empires from the start of the game are generally either quite ambitious or simply want to try their luck.

They didn't want to go to the Jia Ma Empire to see the place where Xiao Yan had grown up.

They wanted to make a name for themselves in the Dou Qi Continent.

Compared to the Jia Ma Empire, which occupies a large portion of the original work, the other empires have richer resources, less competition, and relatively unique Dou Technique systems, which are more in line with their ambitions.

Therefore, although there are significantly fewer players from other empires compared to the Jia Ma Empire.

However, with the version update to 2.0, players from the other three empires have been snowballing their advantage since the server opened, and their current development is indeed a level ahead of the Jia Ma Empire.

If Yang Shan had stayed in the Jia Ma Empire, he would never have been able to develop so well.

Once Chao Bafang, Zhu Tianpeng, and the others also break through to the Dou Emperor, the Jia Ma Empire will find it difficult to provide them with sufficient top-tier resources.

Only Ye Suifeng, because he mainly cultivates the Wind Attribute, has the opportunity to obtain all the inheritances of the Misty Cloud Sect. Therefore, even at the Dou Emperor level Ye Suifeng can still choose to develop in the Jia Ma Empire.

But barring any unforeseen circumstances, once Top Player break through to the Dou Emperor, the Black-Corner Region will become their next focus for development.

Next, we'll have to go to Central Plains.

Along his journey, Yang Shan discovered that there were quite a few Dou Wang players in the Mulan Empire!

Because the Serpent-People tribe opened its recruitment quota too late, there are very few players at the Dou Wang level.

Without recruiting Xiao Aotian, Yi Qingyang, and Lucky Poison Hand as guest advisors, there is a very obvious gap between us and the Mulan Empire at the top player level.

As Yang Shan approached the main tent, he happened to see Yun Shan and Pill King Gu He walking out together.

"Oh, you've all arrived."

Yang Shan quietly retreated, circled around to the back of the main tent, flicked his finger, and sprinkled some powder onto the tent.

This powder was scraped off from the Red Tail Scorpion Egg.

Although there aren't many, if the Red Tail Scorpion Beast were to come, it would surely be able to discover the differences between this main tent and other places.

What Yang Shan needed to do was to lure away all of the enemy's top experts before the Red Tail Scorpion Beast led its army there!

Otherwise, with Yun Shan and the Three Mulan Elders, their combined strength equals that of two Dou Zong, they would definitely be able to surround and kill the Red Tail Scorpion Beast in a short time.

When the monsters of the Red Sand Continent are leaderless, they will naturally flee in disarray.

Yang Shan quietly left the camp in Mulan Valley. He had an important matter to attend to: to communicate with the Red Tail Scorpion Beast, which might have already set off.

Not all magical beasts can speak human language once they reach the sixth rank.

Many Warcraft creatures don't even want to speak human language.

But communicating directly with Soul Strength is a different matter altogether.

Yang Shan activated his Dou Qi Transformation Wings and flew at full speed toward the direction of the Red Sand Continent.

Meanwhile, Red Sand Continent had already billowed up over Chishazhou.

Having lost its egg, the Red Tail Scorpion Beast went completely mad and summoned most of the magical beasts in the Red Sand Continent.

It sensed the strange fluctuations emanating from its own egg.

Although the fluctuation lasted for a while and then disappeared.

But this was enough for the Red Tail Scorpion Beast to pinpoint the exact location of the egg.

It wants to find its egg!

Just as the Red Tail Scorpion Beast was about to command its entire army to launch a long-distance raid, Yang Shan Red Tail Scorpion Beast before it.

The Red Tail Scorpion Beast's abdomen trembled, producing a hissing sound like sandpaper scraping a wall.

This is the sound produced by the scorpion clan through the friction of their external carapace.

It usually occurs when preparing for an attack.

But Yang Shan just gave a cold laugh.

Twenty dense, illusory images of demonic beasts appeared.

With a snap of his fingers.

The roar was deafening, and the soul-shaking impact mixed in with the sound waves caused the Red Tail Scorpion Beast's eight legs to flail unconsciously.

Yang Shan began to speak:

"Now we can have a proper talk?"

When Yang Shan said this, he infused his Soul Strength into it, so that it could be directly transmitted to the soul of the Red Tail Scorpion Beast.

As for whether the other party will accept this information, the "Lingering Spirit Hundred Howls" just now has probably made this sixth-order ferocious beast much more sober.

"Human! Do you wish to challenge me?"

Yang Shan: "I am here because three friends told me some interesting things."

Seeing that the Red Tail Scorpion Beast Red Tail Scorpion Beast was willing to communicate with him, Yang Shan told it the "story" he had already fabricated.

The gist is that Xiao Aotian, Yi Qingyang, and Lucky Poison Hand are his friends, while he is the enemy of the three Dou Emperor who stole the Red Tail Scorpion Egg.

Although Xiao Aotian and his two companions failed to avenge their father, they successfully investigated the situation of the Red Tail Scorpion Egg.

Xiao Aotian and his two companions made their move right after the three Dou Emperor of Mulan Valley obtained the egg.

With so many Red Sand Poison Scorpion present, it's impossible for the Red Tail Scorpion Beast not to know what happened when it was trapped in the illusion.

But Yang Shan, that Old Schemer too cunning.

He only made his move after the three Dou Emperor from Mulan Valley left the territory of the Red Sand Continent! Otherwise, if the Red Tail Scorpion Beast knew that even Dou Emperor as powerful as Yang Shan had made a move, it would be uncertain who would have its egg!

In order to secure his position with the Red Tail Scorpion Beast's egg, Yang Shan voluntarily gave up the share of the drops from the three Dou Emperor.

After all, if the Red Tail Scorpion Beast's egg hatches successfully, it can become Blood Pact Magical Beast. If it is well-nurtured, its potential is even higher than that of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Xiao Aotian, Yi Qingyang, and Lucky Poison Hand were also there to "cling to a powerful figure," so they wisely refrained from asking for a share of the Red Tail Scorpion Egg.

Of course, Yang Shan later promised to sell the three Perfected Break Emperor Pill at a low price. (Xiao Aotian only had the Emperor Extreme Pill, not the formula for the Break Emperor Pill.) Yang Shan naturally had no intention of hatching the egg.

But he wanted to use this valuable egg to create two or three times its value! After telling the "story," Yang Shan spoke up at the right moment, "It's useless for you to go and seize the egg in such a high-profile manner. There are many experts in the camp of Mulan Valley. Not to mention those Dou Wang and Dou Ling, there is a Two-Star Dou Zong and three Nine Star Dou Huang who are stationed in the camp. Those three Nine Star Dou Huang have cultivated a combined attack technique. When the three of them join forces, they are also at the level of Dou Zong!"

"How long do you think you can survive being attacked by two Dou Zong?"

The Red Tail Scorpion Beast did not directly answer Yang Shan's question, but instead asked in return, "Human powerhouse who controls the strange lightning, what is your purpose in telling me this information?"

Yang Shan feigned profundity, Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning flickered between his fingers. "There's no need for such formality in addressing me. My title Blade Sovereign!"

"All I want to tell you is that if you are willing to follow my instructions, I guarantee you can get your precious egg back!"

The Red Tail Scorpion Beast swung its scorpion tail:

"Blade Sovereign, I respect you as a strong person, so I am willing to listen to you for a while. Don't try to change the subject! Answer me, what is your purpose?"

Yang Shan smiled in a somewhat enigmatic way:

"You should understand what I want!"

How could Yang Shan know what good things were in the Red Sand Continent?

But it's okay, the Red Tail Scorpion Beast will tell you itself! The two sides have never met before, so who would be so "enthusiastic" as to help?

No one gets up early without a reason! Yang Shan has something to gain, which is why the Red Tail Scorpion Beast will feel at ease! Of course, theoretically, magical beasts that can speak human language are no less intelligent than humans.

But most monsters follow the law of the jungle, where the strong rule! Except for monsters like foxes, monkeys, and rats.

Otherwise, when it comes to scheming, most magical beasts are definitely no match for humans! This phenomenon may improve once magical beasts reach the Seventh Order, since Seventh-Rank Magical Beast possess the ability to transform.

As one integrates into human society, one is influenced by its diverse aspects, learning from mistakes and becoming more cunning.

A sixth-tier magical beast? It's still a long way off! Sure enough, Yang Shan's question made the Red Tail Scorpion Beast start to fill in the blanks in its own mind.

It remained silent for a long while before cautiously saying, "Blade Sovereign, you are quite capable, actually knowing that my Red Sand Continent nurtured a Red Marrow Crystal!"

Yang Shan genuinely didn't know what Red Marrow Crystal was! But since the Red Tail Scorpion Beast had mentioned it, it must be the best thing in the Red Sand Continent! Yang Shan remained expressionless and admitted:

"Red Tail Scorpion Beast, you are indeed clever!"

The Red Tail Scorpion Beast scoffed, "Humans are cunning, but I am not a newly hatched scorpion either!"

Yang Shan "frankly" said:

"I want the Red Marrow Crystal, and incidentally, I want to teach Mulan Valley a lesson and avenge my friends. That's why I've come to you for cooperation!"

Red Tail Scorpion Beast: "I can promise you that if you can help me retrieve the treasure egg, I will give you the Red Marrow Crystal!"

[Ding! Player, please note that you have temporarily formed an alliance with the Red Tail Scorpion Beast. The Red Tail Scorpion Beast will consider your opinion. If you bring back the Red Tail Scorpion Beast- Red Tail Scorpion Beast's egg, you will gain its friendship. If you fail, you will be added to the Red Sand Continent ' kill list.]
