84: Where to go from here
While waiting for Huang Shan and the others to wake up, Qingyang began to think about where he should go next.
Go back to China? It's currently turbulent there, the waters are too deep.
Go to other countries? Currently, with China at the center, the surrounding countries are all targets for invasion by the various Fierce Beasts in China.
Just as Qingyang didn't know what he should do next, Qian Hao, this young man who had already broken through to the Seventh-Order, gave Qingyang a little idea.
Gexing Island.
Gexing Island is located in an archipelago between China and Sakura Country.
It covers an area of several hundred thousand kilometers and consists of a total of seventeen large islands.
Currently, over in China, because Fierce Beasts from various countries have already entered China, while they are helping various forces, they are also frantically plundering resources within China.
And the Ge Xing Islands happen to be right on the way back for those Fierce Beasts from various countries who are plundering resources from China.
If he goes there, all Qingyang needs to do is intercept the resources transported out of China, which will be enough for his side's forces to grow.
In addition, there is one most important thing, which is that this place is almost the only way for China to access all parts of the world.
Externally, Qingyang can, to the greatest extent, curb the forces that come to China to fish in troubled waters, similar to a border general.
Internally, he can also intercept many resources for his own use.
Interestingly, Qian Hao's main purpose for coming to find Qingyang this time was actually to get Qingyang to go back.
But somehow, while they were talking, they brought up the Ge Xing Islands.
And Qingyang's idea is also very simple: instead of fighting internally in China, it's better to lead his own forces, roam freely outside, and slowly develop his power.
After deciding on the Ge Xing Islands, Qingyang immediately sent Little Luan, Ba Qing, Xuan Ming, and Mao Qiu, leading his hundreds of thousands of Treasure Seeking Rat brothers, across the sea to the Ge Xing Islands to check on the situation there.
As for Qingyang, he waited for Yin Li and the others to wake up, and then he would follow.
On the fifteenth day of Little Luan and the others' journey to Gexing Island, Qian Hao, who was accompanying them, sent back news.
It turned out that Qingyang was not the only Fierce Beast with the same idea.
Now, the area of the Ge Xing Islands, which is only a little over a hundred thousand square kilometers, can be said to be filled with big shots.
However, fortunately, Little Luan and the other four are also big shots.
So after Little Luan and the others forcefully entered Gexing Island, they immediately occupied an island and have already dispatched hundreds of thousands of Treasure Seeking Rats to begin probing the combat power of the various forces there.
On this day, as Huang Shan and the others woke up one after another, and Little Luan and the others had already been on Gexing Island for a month and a half, Qingyang also led his other brothers and set off.
Along the way, Qingyang flew while beginning to ponder.
According to the most recent message sent back by Mao Qiu, the forces on the seventeen islands of the current Ge Xing Islands are extremely complex.
On the seventeen islands, there are Fierce Beasts from about thirty-plus countries.
You know, Gexing Island can be said to be already close to China.
With so many Fierce Beasts from so many countries gathered here, their intentions are clear: nothing more than waiting for an opportunity to pluck the peaches of China's resources.
But what's interesting is that when Little Luan and the others forcefully settled on Gexing Island over a month ago, they immediately scared away Fierce Beasts from more than a dozen countries.
After all, the power of four Ninth-Order Fierce Beasts is not just for show.
On this day, as Qingyang first saw Gexing Island from the sea from a distance and sensed the aura of Little Luan and the others after entering Gexing Island,
After more than a month, Qingyang and Little Luan and the others finally met.
Two days later, as Huang Shan and the others also landed on Gexing Island, Qingyang immediately gathered all his brothers and began the first discussion after landing.
"There's an old saying in our China: 'How can others sleep soundly by our bed?' Since we've decided to develop here, let's fight. Drive them all away, or kill them," Ba Qing said.
"Fight? How do we fight? According to my brothers' reconnaissance, on almost every one of the seventeen islands, there are the most powerful Fierce Beasts from various countries.
Not to mention Ninth-Order, my brothers have found four Tenth-Order Fierce Beasts in just this month."
Listening to Mao Qiu and the others talking down below, Qingyang also felt a headache coming on.
He had originally thought of finding a "paradise" to slowly develop, but who knew that these guys had the same idea as him.
But what Qingyang didn't know was that the location of Gexing Island was simply too good, which is why so many top Fierce Beasts from various countries gathered here.
Leaving is impossible. Since they have already arrived here, the next step is to thoroughly ascertain the strength of the other islands.
However, on the second day after Qingyang and Huang Shan landed on the island, an unexpected super Fierce Beast actually found Qingyang.
The other party was the Bull Demon King from the former Seventh Forbidden Area of China, also known as the Mad Cow, a super Fierce Beast that was originally assigned to invade Sakura Country.
Knowing that it was a "fellow countryman," Qingyang immediately met with the other party.
"Damn beasts, you say those brain-dead guys in our family are idiots? I was fighting happily at the front, and the backyard caught fire, damn it.
And then guess what? Heh~, I couldn't even mobilize my own Fierce Beasts from Longhu Mountain anymore. After some inquiries, I found out that they came fine, but they couldn't go back!"
Looking at this Mad Cow, who had already advanced to the early Ninth-Order, with black and red fur all over his body, saying "damn" and swearing all the time, Qingyang felt a little like laughing.
"Yang Dragon King, brother, I'll give you the lowdown. At that time, because my Longhu Mountain was occupied, I got angry and killed my way back, and then guess what happened?
There were a few idiots who wanted me to join some force of theirs, so how could I possibly agree? I am the King of the Seventh Forbidden Area's Fierce Beasts, Longhu Mountain.
And then I was almost beaten to death by those guys and ran out overnight."
As soon as he said this, Qingyang immediately became interested and began to ask, "Force? What's going on? And who are they?"
Beside him, Bull Demon King, who had shrunk to the size of a calf, heard Qingyang's question, and his eyes instantly turned blood red.
"How would I know who they are? Anyway, there were three of them, two Humans and one Fierce Beast. At that time, I was still late Eighth-Order, and they were already mid-Ninth-Order.
If I didn't agree, they would beat me and threaten me with eating beef brisket. Anyway, the meaning was, join them and live, don't join them and die."
"Two Humans, one Fierce Beast, all having broken through to mid-Ninth-Order," Qingyang murmured to himself.
But just then, Bull Demon King suddenly looked at Qingyang and said seriously.
"Black Gold Yang Dragon King, I heard about your deeds in China. You rose from the Guling Mountain Range, forcefully occupied the Kongtong Mountains, Ling Mountain, and Guling Mountain Range in a short time.
You control three major forbidden areas, and your brothers are all Exotic Beasts and Divine Beasts. You are a capable Fierce Beast. I want to follow you in the future."
Not far away, Ba Qing looked at Qian Hao and Shen Ying in surprise and said, "Are they all that amazing now? They can even come to the door themselves to be brothers."
Actually, Qingyang also understood Bull Demon King's current predicament. If he hadn't been at his wits' end, he wouldn't have come to rely on him.
So after learning about the other party's current situation, Qingyang also agreed to the matter. After all, who wouldn't like a powerful Ninth-Order Exotic Beast brother?
