Chapter 192

Finally, after roaring happily a few times, they landed back on the mountain peak and prostrated themselves before Chen Ping.

The leading Golden Dragon pressed its large head against Chen Ping's front, gently rubbing against Chen Ping's thigh, extremely docile.

【Golden Dragon, Growing Stage, LV30, Fire and Metal attributes】

【Life 20000, Attack 8000, Defense 15000, Magic Energy 6000】

【Loyalty: 100%】

【Skills: Dragon Breath, Dragon Strike, Jin Guang Dragon Body】

【Trait: Dragon Might】

As Chen Ping's recruited dragon beast, he could easily see the Golden Dragon's attributes.

It had to be said that the Dragon Race was indeed the darling of heaven and earth, an existence at the top of the biological chain.

Just a single growing-stage Golden Dragon had individual attributes no weaker than those of Mata and the others back then.

Dragon Breath and Dragon Strike were standard skills for the Dragon Race, so there was nothing much to say about them.

Dragon Might was also a trait that an orthodox Dragon Race should have, never absent.

Jin Guang Dragon Body was a unique skill of the Golden Dragon, capable of instantly strengthening its own defense.

Whether it was for blocking attacks or for combat, it was very suitable.

That Extraordinary Golden Giant Dragon back then, purely by relying on this skill, could tear space cracks with its physical body and resist void lightning strikes.

Chen Ping being able to cut off the Golden Giant Dragon's arm was only successful by relying on magic attacks and Milan's assistance.

With purely physical attacks, Chen Ping estimated that even using a divine artifact back then, he might not have been able to cut it off.

The Golden Dragon's physical defense was directly maxed out; it was just that its magic resistance was a bit lacking.

Of course, compared to humans, no matter how poor a Golden Dragon's magic resistance was, it wouldn't be that bad.

He patted the Golden Dragon's large head with satisfaction; the other party purred contentedly, got up, and stood by Chen Ping's side.

Its huge tail and wings wrapped around Chen Ping, and it roared at the three Golden Flying Dragons in front.

The Golden Flying Dragons immediately knelt down together, prostrating themselves toward Chen Ping and the Golden Dragon.

【Golden Flying Dragon, Growing Stage, LV30, Fire and Metal attributes】

【Life 10000, Attack 6000, Defense 10000, Magic Energy 5000】

【Loyalty: 100%】

【Skills: Dragon Flame Bullet, Dragon Strike】

Compared to the Golden Dragon, although the name had an extra "Flying" character, it seemed there wasn't much difference.

But looking at the attributes, the gap was real.

A Golden Dragon upgrades into a Giant Dragon later on and is an orthodox Dragon Race.

While a Flying Dragon, even if it upgrades to the top, is only a lower-tier dragon species, at most strengthened because it contains the bloodline of a superior dragon race.

However, Chen Ping wasn't picky; at least it was much better than a sub-dragon.

He granted the authority to recruit dragon beasts to Natasha and En Linna.

In this way, after he left, the two of them could also continue to recruit dragon beasts.

Even if there were only three a week, they could gather a dozen or so in a month; once dragon beasts formed a group, their power could not be underestimated.

If one or two Golden Dragons were to pop out, that would be a huge profit.

The Golden Dragon led the three Flying Dragons to pick a cave on the cliff wall to use as a living nest.

The Golden Dragon was on top, and the Flying Dragons were below; there was a strict hierarchy between them.

At this time, people in the surrounding territories had basically discovered the existence of the dragon beasts and were now immersed in cheers.

With the addition of dragon beasts, safety was greatly guaranteed for them.

As for the food and supplies needed to raise the dragon beasts, Chen Ping directly had the Golden Dragon take the Flying Dragons out to hunt.

Otherwise, at the current stage, just relying on Natasha and the others' territories, raising dragon beasts would still be a bit difficult and would drag down the development speed of the territory.

Letting them hunt on their own could also exercise their combat skills.

An ordinary person might find it difficult to make a Golden Dragon obey, but Chen Ping was different; when he spoke, the Golden Dragon would never refuse.

By this stage, the planning Chen Ping had done for the South District had basically been implemented.

In terms of development, Natasha, as the trade hub, could quickly accumulate a large amount of supplies.

In terms of armed forces, the Xue Xue Lingling was now the number one combat force in the Hetao region, and with the addition of dragon beasts, its strength had already risen to a new level.

Once Natasha planted the Druid's Guardian Treants and Dream-Illusion Thorns, the Hetao region could be said to be as stable as Mount Tai.

This was Chen Ping's consistent development strategy.

Ensure safety first, and then consider development on that basis.

By this stage, there was nothing left for him to do in the South District.

Even if the Holy Spirit Alliance and the Golden Alliance united, it was estimated that they would have to wait until after the second wave of invasion to form a real threat.

There was no point in him staying in the South District anymore.

So Chen Ping called Natasha and En Linna over and informed them of his plan to return to the East District.

"Master! As your direct Four Guards, please let the Zhu Que Guard follow by your side."

Natasha was fine; she had long known that Chen Ping would not stay here forever.

So she had always been mentally prepared, and she had also always been demanding of herself as the person in charge of the Tianqu Alliance's South District.

This was so that after Chen Ping left, she could shoulder the overall situation without deviating from Chen Ping's planning.

But En Linna was different.

The Lord of the Xue Xue Lingling knelt directly before Chen Ping, imploring to follow by Chen Ping's side.

Ever since they had made the Blood Spirit Oath to Chen Ping back then, the reverence of the entire Xue Xue Lingling lineage toward Chen Ping had become almost paranoid to the extreme.

It was like walking from one extreme to another, like a group of fanatics.

En Linna knew that the South District still needed to retain strategic forces, and it was impossible for the Xue Xue Lingling to migrate.

But as Chen Ping's Four Guards unit, she believed it was necessary to follow by Chen Ping's side.

"I will stay here to continue training and expanding the Zhu Que Guard; please take the existing guard members with you, Master."

Unable to withstand En Linna's plea, and with Milan also suggesting taking the Zhu Que Guard.

Chen Ping finally agreed to En Linna's request.

He took out most of the Woodland Crystals he had obtained in the Mist Zone, 60 percent of which he gave to En Linna.

The rest he gave to Natasha.

His own territory was about to undergo a super upgrade and no longer needed things like territory crystals to improve.

As for the base camp in the East District, he believed that Chen Ya and the others should have also scavenged enough territory crystals.

So it was better to give them to the two of them directly here.

With this batch of territory crystals, the Xue Xue Lingling could be upgraded to Level 6.

The population limit of a Level 6 territory would also increase, and En Linna would be able to recruit more Blood Spirit clansmen and form more armies.

As for Natasha, she was actually assuming a part of Chen Ping's role.

After the Xue Xue Lingling developed in a fully militarized way, the daily necessities basically relied on Natasha's territory to support.

So Natasha's territory also needed to be upgraded as soon as possible.

He had thought that things were basically arranged, but when it was really time to leave, he found that there were still many trivial and cumbersome matters.

Dealing with this took Chen Ping a week.

During this week, the dragon beast nest recruited once more; this time, six Flying Dragons came out.

And during this week, through his realization of the Dew of Origin, Chen Ping also repaired part of his soul injuries by utilizing the Power of Origin.

Now, even if he participated in ordinary battles, it would be no problem.

After confirmation by Milan, Chen Ping finally decided to set off on his return journey.

At the edge of the Hetao region, outside the mist, the Black Tortoise Guard, the Elite Soldiers, and the Zhu Que Guard—three units—stood tall and straight on the side.

Chen Ping rode the Silver-White White Qilin, carrying Milan, and was saying goodbye to Natasha and En Linna.

The Golden Dragon watched Chen Ping eagerly from the side, occasionally letting out a whimper, which made Chen Ping feel quite amused.

As the leader of the Hetao territory's dragon beast legion, the Golden Dragon could not return to the East District with him.

"Alright, remember my words: prioritize self-preservation."

"Even if you are completely besieged, as long as you hold your ground, I will be able to kill my way over to save you."

Everything that needed to be said had been said, and Chen Ping didn't waffle; he pressed the neck of the Silver-White White Qilin and immediately led his troops to charge into the mist.

The trial had not yet ended, and everyone would eventually have to gather together.
