Qianqiu nodded: "That's easy to say."

Yu Beixuan couldn't help but ask, "So, we don't need to worry about Beiye City anymore? What about the other three cities? Don't they need to catch up with Beiye City's progress?"

“I remember my father saying that the defenses of the four major cities should ideally be kept in balance.”

The city lord agreed, saying, "What you say makes sense. Since you have a quick way to clean up, then clean up the other three cities as well."

"Without our vanguard, the two sides will enter a stalemate. We can use this time to conserve our energy, and you can also focus on your training."

Si Yi asked with some concern, "Will it really be a stalemate? Won't the other side launch a fierce counterattack?"

"That is indeed possible, which is why Lao Yu hasn't informed us yet, most likely because he himself is undecided."

"But Old Yu probably doesn't know about Senior Qianqiu's existence. If he did, he probably wouldn't be so uncertain."

"As long as Mount Shashen does not erupt again, no Shashen Beast will be able to advance to the ninth rank."

"At this moment, if any evil beasts from any direction want to retaliate, all we need to do is have Senior Qianqiu go over and intimidate them."

Qianqiu looked at Lord Si in disbelief: "You look quite polite, but you don't seem to speak very politely."

The city lord sighed, "In this time of crisis, we can only trouble you, senior."

"Of course, we can't trouble you for nothing, senior, the people of Dongyao City..."

"Alright, stop talking!" Qianqiu interrupted City Lord Si in time, afraid that it would be tempted if the other party continued.

It knew that the city lord wanted to say that it could choose whatever it wanted from the treasure vault of Dongyao City, and it really wanted to, but it wasn't its place to do it!

Qianqiu sighed and said, "The four major cities have their own guardian beasts. With them around, even seventh and eighth-tier evil beasts can't get in. Don't worry."

A giant tortoise covered in golden light immediately appeared in Yu Beixuan's mind: "Is the guardian beast of Beiye City Senior Golden Tortoise?"

Qianqiu nodded: "That's right. That old rich man is about the same age as me, but his wealth is probably thousands or even tens of thousands of times that of me."

Upon hearing this, the city lord's face showed a hint of doubt. He knew that there was a Golden Turtle in North Night City and a Thousand-Eyed Beast in Central City; these two were clearly the city's guardian beasts.

But there don't seem to be any such powerful beasts in Dongyao City.

Seeing the puzzled look on the city lord's face, Si Er asked, "Father, don't you know about the guardian beast of our Dongyao City?"

"It's no wonder he didn't know," Qianqiu explained. "A ninth-tier golden crow slumbers beneath Dongyao City. How could such a thing just appear out of nowhere?"

"It's like adding another sun to the Beast Continent as soon as it comes out. In order to prevent everyone from being scorched to death, it can only be buried deep underground."

Upon hearing this, Si Yi curiously touched the little golden crow on his shoulder: "Is that your father?"

The little golden crow shook its head: "That's my mother! She felt it was too boring to stay down there all the time, so she dispersed some of her power to condense an egg, and then hatched me."

"It hopes I can help it look at the mainland, to see if the mainland has become better over the past ten thousand years."

"I don't know if things have gotten better." Little Golden Crow nuzzled Si Yi's cheek, then glanced at the handsome men and beautiful women filling the tent, and smiled contentedly. "But the people outside are really good-looking."

Si Yi: "..."

Suddenly, I felt an urge to throw the little golden crow away. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
