196: First collaboration

Within the Eight Qi Evil Serpent's lair in Sakura Country.

Qingyang's dragon body had shrunk to about two meters in size. Although his volume decreased, his energy and aura seemed to instill even more fear in the Eight Qi Evil Serpent and the others.

"Then let's proceed with our compromise for the transaction: for a Twelfth-tier Fierce Beast or Human expert, we pay 100,000 zhen crystal; for a Thirteenth-tier, 300,000; and for a Fourteenth-tier, 800,000. For each one of Kimchi Country's experts you kill, we will pay the corresponding price."

On Kimchi Country's side, Golden Pixiu had already sent back the opposing country's combat strength information to Ge Xing Islands.

There were only five Fourteenth-tier experts and Fierce Beasts, but there were over forty Thirteenth-tier Fierce Beasts, and even more Twelfth-tier ones.

Of course, Qingyang's side also transmitted the general situation of Sakura Country to Golden Pixiu.

This move was essentially profiting from both sides.

The so-called alliances between various countries were mostly unreliable, merely superficial. Both Sakura Country and Kimchi Country were aware of this.

Therefore, weakening the opponent's high-tier combat strength this time still relied on Ge Xing Islands.

"Then let's do that. Wait for our news; you just need to prepare the zhen crystal."

As he spoke, Qingyang had already risen and quickly left Sakura Country, flying towards Ge Xing Islands.

The crisis in China was completely resolved. As a price, Bull Demon King, Huang Shan, Yin Li, and Ming Tian, the four Divine Beasts who had broken through to the Fourteenth tier, were all severely injured and would need at least two to three months to recover.

On this day, just as Qingyang returned to Ge Xing Islands, Bu Bai and Blood Town finally awoke, their strength completely stabilized at the Fourteenth tier.

Since they needed to profit from both sides, Qingyang, immediately upon his return, divided the current combat strength available in Ge Xing Islands into two groups.

One group, led by Qingyang, included Xuan Ming, Little Luan, and Blood Town.

As for the other group, it was naturally led by Golden Pixiu, with Ba Qing, Bu Bai, and Pan Lin, who had not yet broken through, under him.

Among them, Xuan Ming, as a water-controlling Divine Beast, also served as the liaison for communication between the two sides.

Kimchi Country's capital.

"Ashiba, do we really trust those few traitors? If they have other intentions, wouldn't we be in a dangerous situation?" a high-ranking Kimchi Country official named Jin Pucanlie said with displeasure.

At the very top, Kim Park Sae, the head of Kimchi Country's Samsung Group, the true controller who held 80% of the country's resources, touched his expensive watch and said very elegantly.

"Other intentions? Our cooperation with them is limited to an employment relationship. We are in control now. If there is any abnormality, we will immediately stop cooperating with them."

"Alright, what we need to do now is just wait. That Eight Qi Evil Serpent in Sakura Country is severely injured; this is our best opportunity to expand."

"I have already sent that Golden Pixiu to Tianshui Sea Area. There, several Fierce Beasts from Sakura Country and its allied countries are stationed."

"Whether they have other intentions, we'll see first."

Tianshui Sea Area, located very close to Sakura Country, is an independent small island, but this location is extremely important to Sakura Country, or rather, it is extremely important for the struggle for dominance between the forces of Blue Star.

Therefore, although Tianshui Sea Area is just a small island, it is garrisoned by experts from six countries.

Among the experts from the six countries, there were only two at the Fourteenth tier, but there were fifteen at the Thirteenth tier, and even more at the Twelfth tier.

Above the Endless Sea, Golden Pixiu, Ba Qing, and Bu Bai were advancing rapidly towards Tianshui Sea Area while communicating with each other.

"I say, old toad, it seems Kimchi Country doesn't quite trust us. Should we wait for that tail behind us?" Ba Qing said.

Beside him, Golden Pixiu rolled his eyes.

"What you're saying is too much. After all, it's our first cooperation. It's normal for them to follow and monitor us. As for waiting for him, forget it. That guy is only at the Twelfth tier, too slow."

"By the way, Bu Bai, what did Qing Yang say? Don't mess things up."

Slightly behind Ba Qing and Golden Pixiu, Bu Bai stared at Golden Pixiu with his blood-red eyes and said boredly.

"Don't worry, Qing Yang is still in Ge Xing Islands. Qing Yang's intention is for us to take care of the first batch, and then he and the others will discuss it later."

As they spoke, the solitary small island of Tianshui Sea Area in the distance had already come into view.

Seeing this, Ba Qing slowly condensed gale force around his body and accelerated towards Tianshui Sea Area ahead of them, his voice instantly sounding.

"We'll finish this quickly. Bu Bai, as a speed-type Divine Beast, your mission is to not let any expert escape."

"Golden Pixiu, you tie down those Thirteenth-tier Fierce Beasts first. I'll deal with those two Fourteenth-tier guys."

Looking at Ba Qing's receding figure, Golden Pixiu said speechlessly, "You're so capable. Just because your strength is higher than mine, you command me like this? That's too much!"

Although he said this, Golden Pixiu still followed Ba Qing's instructions and, along with Bu Bai, caught up to Ba Qing.

When Ba Qing, Golden Pixiu, and Bu Bai landed on the island and unleashed immense energy, quickly beginning to kill the stationed experts, the tail from Kimchi Country behind them finally arrived, panting and late.

However, just as this tail, who was sent to monitor Golden Pixiu and the others, was about to carefully sense the situation on the island, Bu Bai's figure suddenly appeared beside him.

Then, Bu Bai's blood-red eyes stared at the other party, a bloodthirsty light flashing in his eyes as he said.

"It's done. You can go take a look."

"Ah? It's done already?"

Although somewhat unbelievable, with his mission in mind, the tail still cautiously arrived on Tianshui Sea Island.

Upon seeing the ground covered with the corpses of high-tier Fierce Beasts and Human experts from various countries, the tail couldn't help but twitch his eyes and explained.

"I was just following orders; I wasn't really trying to track you. I'll go back now and report truthfully."

The reward Golden Pixiu negotiated with Kimchi Country and the reward Qingyang negotiated with Sakura Country were roughly the same, except that the Fourteenth tier was 1,000,000 zhen crystal.

Watching the tail leave in a panic, Ba Qing, while bloodily devouring the two Fourteenth-tier Fierce Beasts, looked at Golden Pixiu and said.

"Two Fourteenth-tier Fierce Beasts, two million; fifteen Thirteenth-tier Fierce Beasts, four million five hundred thousand. It's no wonder it's a national war; they really spare no expense. Our first time, and we directly earned about seven million zhen crystal."

"But what I'm curious about is whether these guys will refuse to pay."

"If he dares to refuse to pay, I'll kill them," Golden Pixiu said, his eyes widening and his voice loud.

Ba Qing devoured two Fourteenth-tier Fierce Beasts and then seven or eight Thirteenth-tier Fierce Beasts, his strength completely stabilizing at the early Fifteenth tier.

As for Bu Bai, he devoured all the remaining Thirteenth-tier Fierce Beasts.

In addition, those Twelfth-tier Fierce Beasts were all swallowed by Golden Pixiu in one gulp, prioritizing quantity over quality.
