"???"
The manta ray chieftain was stunned, his expression slightly angry: "Are you insulting me? You almost got swallowed by me just now, have you forgotten?"
"Level seven is nothing special?"
The octopus retorted defiantly, "Didn't you insult me first? You think it's okay for you to say I'm ugly, but it's not okay for me to say you're ugly? How can you be so hypocritical?"
"Of course not! Because you are really ugly."
"You son of a bitch..."
The two argued more and more fiercely.
Zhang Hao had no choice but to stop it: "Alright, alright, let's leave it at that. You're not allowed to criticize each other's appearance anymore. There are many kinds of marine life, and people have different levels of appreciation. You can't generalize."
"Hmph..."
For Zhang Hao's sake.
They've all quieted down, but they still don't like each other.
They're just like those two sworn enemies, Sun Aotian and Yang Erlang, who always argue and even fight when they meet.
Under Meng Wu's influence.
The Devil Ray Chieftain also submitted to the Dawn Society.

After a little treatment, countless manta rays emerged, numbering in the thousands, soaring high in the sky.
Zhang Hao stood at the very front.
With hands behind his back, a gentle breeze caressed his face.
The Devilfish Chieftain asked, "How are you feeling?"
“Very good. This feels quite different. Riding a crow feels a little stiff. It’s more like flying on a sword.”
Zhang Hao commented with great satisfaction: "But your back is very broad, a full eighty meters wide, so you could lie down and sleep comfortably, just like a private jet. It's very comfortable, and I'm very satisfied."
The manta ray chieftain: "Hehe, thank you for the compliment."
"..."
The raven said sourly, "Oh? More comfortable than me?"
No, that's not the case.
"Don't lie to me. From now on, you can ride the manta ray. You won't need me anymore anyway."
The raven's eyes were filled with resentment; it was clearly jealous.
"How is that possible?"
"Although manta rays can fly, their large size makes them unsuitable for aerial combat. They are only suitable for transporting supplies or combat personnel, and their mobility is still a bit lacking."
Zhang Hao praised, "Ya Ya, you may be a little small, but fighting in the air is no problem at all. We coordinated so well just now, keep it up! Don't be jealous."
"I didn't, hmph," the raven said stubbornly.
"When we get back, I'll make you watch the entire 'Princess Pearl' series, until you finish it all~ Aren't you quite into this lately?"
"Okay then, Dad is great."
"Of course."
Zhang Hao smiled slightly.
Crows must have some advantages in flying.
They were quite satisfied with the manta rays, especially in terms of transporting supplies.
According to the chief of the manta ray clan, each manta ray can transport an average of one ton of supplies, and a thousand manta rays can transport a total of ten thousand tons of supplies.
Ten thousand tons may seem like a small amount.
But this is only a one-time thing.
The districts under the jurisdiction of Leizhou City are not far from District H at all.
Within half an hour, including rest and transportation, a total of 480,000 tons of goods can be transported 48 times a day, 24 hours a day.
How much supplies does Leizhou City have left now?
Excluding those that have spoiled, it would be good if there were 500,000 tons, and they could be transported all in one day—that's incredibly efficient!
Yang Erlang and Meng Wu stood to the side.
Meng Wu observed the direction and immediately frowned, saying, "President, this flight path isn't towards Leizhou City. Where are you headed?"
"Let's go to Qiongzhou Island!"
"Why?"
"Since Qiongzhou Island is the closest, and manta rays are so easy to spot... why don't we steal some supplies?"
"Stealing supplies?"
Meng Wu suggested in a low voice, "But it seems like the people on Qiongzhou Island haven't offended us, right? Stealing their supplies like this... isn't that a bit unreasonable? Should we find a suitable excuse?"
"No excuse is needed; someone has offended us." Zhang Hao shook his head.
"Huh? Who is it?"
"Northern District of Qiongzhou Island - [Liuguang Alliance]".
"The Flowing Light Alliance? What kind of organization is that? When did it have a grudge against us?" Meng Wu asked, puzzled.
"Yang Erlang, explain yourself."
"Yes, Chairman."
Yang Erlang slowly said, "Qiongzhou Island is also called Qiongzhou City. Unlike Leizhou City, it is divided into five major regions: east, west, south, north, and central. Each region is comparable in size to two Leizhou Cities."
“I used to hang out in Jinpan Street in the North District. It’s all the rage there. Jinhemen and we were often bullied by Liuguangmeng. They made us pay tribute every month.”
"Including but not limited to crystal cores, food, daily necessities, etc., the strength of our two organizations is far inferior to that of the other. We really have no choice but to leave the North District and go to Leizhou City to try our luck."
"Is this organization very strong? Does it have Level 7 Awakeners?" Meng Wu asked.
"No, there are a few more Level 6 Awakeners, about three in total."
"Three? You can't handle that?"
"The rules here are a bit different. Weak organizations are either wiped out or forced to submit to powerful organizations. And powerful organizations unite with each other, making life miserable for weak organizations."
Yang Erlang sighed and said, "The Flowing Light Alliance itself is not very threatening. Even though its leader, Wang Tianshui, is not very strong, there are three other organizations of the same level that are allied with him. There are more than ten Level 6 Awakened individuals in total. We can only retreat and avoid confrontation."
"Moreover, those small organizations that attached themselves to us were all opportunistic and lacked their own backbone. If we had chosen to resist back then, we would have been united and wiped out. That is the main reason."
"I see." Meng Wu suddenly realized.
Zhang Hao nodded: "Yang Erlang is right. The [Flowing Light Alliance] is nothing on its own, but its combined strength should not be underestimated. Our people are temporarily unable to spare any resources, so let's steal some supplies first."
"The main approach is to probe, and it will also allow us to get a better understanding of this unfamiliar place. When the Dawn Society's forces take over Qiongzhou Island in the future, it will be a much more natural outcome."
"But what if we get discovered?" Meng Wu asked worriedly.
"Found them? Then let the manta rays meet us in advance, get the supplies, and leave. If that Wang Tianshui is relentless..."
Zhang Hao said indifferently, "Then I will turn this probing operation into an offensive, kill Wang Tianshui and take over the [Flowing Light Alliance] and its remaining organizations."
"Let's establish our first stronghold, which is Qiongzhou Island—the Dawn Society branch!"

P.S.: The pressure to get married has begun.
Ugh, blind dates are so annoying! Can't we have a free-choice relationship?
I'm still at my hometown and haven't gotten back to my little house yet, so I failed to make up for the missed update. I owe you all an update. I'm not sure when I'll make it up, but I definitely will when I get back, so don't worry, Xin Xin will never break her promise!
