When Lu Yuan announced his intention to conquer the canyon, everyone present was stunned.

Even Xiao Shan was unaware of this; Lu Yuan's plan was actually to conquer the canyon.

"Are you crazy? There are fourth-tier behemoths on the other side of the canyon. How can we even get there?"

A slight smile appeared on Lu Yuan's lips.

"If I couldn't get through, I wouldn't be saying this. Now I can tell you with 100% certainty that I have a way to deal with those fourth-tier behemoths."

"What? It can't be true, can it? How did they do that?"

"Yes, those giant beasts looked so terrifying, how did you manage to do that?"

"My God, did I hear that right? Those mutated beasts are all so huge! How are we going to deal with them?"

Lu Yuan smiled slightly and turned to look at Xiao Shan.

When Xiao Shan saw Lu Yuan smiling at her like that, she immediately realized that he must be hiding some secret from everyone.

He kept searching his mind for the secrets Lu Yuan might reveal, and suddenly he thought of the egg—the dragon egg he had obtained from the dragon pit.

"Oh my god, you don't mean that thing, do you?"

Everyone was completely confused, not knowing what Lu Yuan was talking about, nor what Xiao Shan was referring to.

"Hey, stop keeping us in suspense and just tell us already, you're making us so anxious."

Old Zhou has a short temper, and he couldn't hold back any longer.

Lu Yuan laughed and then revealed the truth.

"Do you remember that canyon passage we went to with Sean before?"

Wang Mingming immediately thought of the canyon where they had previously fought, which buried countless ape corpses.

"Brother Lu, you're not talking about that canyon passage we went through before, are you?"

"That's right, it's that canyon passage, the passage overgrown with all kinds of spider lilies that buried countless ape corpses."

At this moment, Lu Yuan suddenly took out the egg that had already cracked from the dimensional space.

"We've been waiting for this for so long, does everyone still remember this egg?"

Zhou Tong narrowed his eyes slightly as he examined the egg from top to bottom. Suddenly, he remembered that they had found the egg high up in the canyon before, and that Lu Yuan had gone to that place despite everyone's objections.

"Oh my god, you didn't bring back that fourth-tier dragon egg, did you?"

Lu Yuan nodded slightly.

"That's right, I brought the dragon egg back, but it won't hatch into a fourth-tier dragon, but a fifth-tier one. This dragon will become our protective shield. Of course, it hasn't hatched yet, but tests have shown that the life force inside the egg is extremely high. It's fully capable of hatching into a dragon."

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, everyone present showed a hint of shock.

"A fifth-tier behemoth? No way. Third-tier behemoths are already the top-tier existence for them. You have a fifth-tier one here? I didn't hear wrong."

"Yes, it is a fifth-tier behemoth. It has been tested. Although it has not hatched, you can tell from the life force it contains that this dragon egg is definitely a fifth-tier behemoth."

Upon hearing the news, everyone's faces lit up with ecstatic joy.

"That's great! With these dragons, we can rest easy here and no longer have to worry about being attacked by various birds of prey."

Zhou Tong deeply sympathized; he still vividly remembered the last time his city was attacked by vultures.

He had just finished building his city and added all the anti-aircraft weapons. This shows that Zhou Zhong was still resentful about the last attack.

"Yes, with the fifth-tier behemoth Zhen Shou, even if Sean's artificially hatched mutated beasts are of no use to them."

Hei Zi and Chen Yan, who were standing nearby, nodded in agreement.

“That’s right. Fifth-tier behemoths are born with a strong ability to suppress other mutated beasts in their bloodline. Moreover, this is a throne-level mutated beast, which definitely has the ability to dominate.”

"With this mutated beast, we probably won't have any more strange mutated beasts attacking us anymore. One of them is worth all our defensive weapons."

"That's great! If the single-headed mutant beast can really protect us, then we can continue to expand outwards without worrying about other threats. It's practically a natural protective beast."

Lu Yuan nodded slightly.

“That’s right, that’s exactly what I think too. That’s why I’m confident and bold in deciding on our own path of expansion. We can no longer be content with this place. The world is so big, we have to go out and see it properly.”

Others shared the same sentiment.

"Yes, maybe there are still human survivors on Earth who have settled in other places. We can go and meet them then."

"Yes, this place is large, but it's also very empty. We don't know what's on the other side of the sea, or if a new continent might be born there."

"I absolutely have to be on this expedition. Even if I don't become the city lord, I'm going."

Everyone eagerly signed up. Lu Yuan was very satisfied with everyone's enthusiasm, and then he talked about some preparations to be made for the trip to the Grand Canyon.

"This time, we can't send all our people to conquer the canyon. So, we can't send too many people with us. I think a small team of around 100 people is enough. If we start with too many people, we'll be too conspicuous, and if we try to escape, we won't be able to keep up with our supplies. There are advantages to having fewer people."
