Not long after.
The Teleportation Divine Stone was delivered.
This was a level 15 Light Blue Quality Divine Stone, a consumable item with powerful energy. The distance from the Desert Province to the Dragon Ridge was far, yet barely within the stone’s teleportation range.
The other side was ready.
Hang Yu bid farewell to the others.
He activated the stone, and the teleportation process lasted approximately one or two minutes.
When Hang Yu ca to his senses, he found himself in an entirely new environnt.
Surrounded by lush, verdant forests, such vibrant scenery was impossible to find in the Desert Province, so this must be Dragon Ridge.
"Boss Hang!"
"I’ve heard so much about you!"
Two n stood before Hang Yu.
One was a rough, bearded middle-aged man in his forties, and the other was a fair-skinned, gentle-looking young man in his thirties.
The forr was nad Dai Yunzhong, a captain of Celestial Net in Shanghai. He held the other Teleportation Divine Stone as the teleportation node, allowing Hang Yu to co directly from the Desert Province to this place.
The latter was nad Ji Shuang, vice president of the Spirit Relief Association in Luo City, holding a position similar to Su Zhengcheng in Jiang City, an influential figure of significant standing.
Despite Dai Yunzhong being from Celestial Net and Ji Shuang from the Spirit Relief Association, two organizations often at odds in the real world, they fought side by side from Descent Forest and now considered each other brothers.
Upon learning that Hang Yu, the renowned Boss Hang of the Spirit Realm, was coming to Dragon Ridge for business, both felt extrely excited and ca personally to welco him.
Seeing him in person now,
he seed even younger than they had imagined.
They couldn’t comprehend how such a skilled figure could be this 20-sothing young man who looked fresh out of college!
Though they couldn’t understand it,
there was no doubt about Boss Hang’s strength.
Sand Spring City in the Desert Province was now one of the fastest-developing territories in the Spirit Realm globally, envied by countless people, organizations, and even nations.
Hang Yu shook hands with the two: "This mission needs to be sowhat low-profile; it’s best not to make it public."
Dai Yunzhong laughed heartily: "Haha, don’t worry, we’re aware. If news of a person as significant as you coming to Dragon Ridge spreads, the place might just turn upside down."
Ji Shuang nodded in agreent: "We’ve told no one about this, so right now, only the two of us know you’re here in Dragon Ridge."
That’s good!
Hang Yu had co this ti to save soone.
Dragon Ridge was quite special, incomparable to other places.
The strongest king in the Earth Dragon Realm, the Mad Dragon King, resided here, and besides him, each of the Three Great Dragon Generals possessed governor-level strength, with dozens or even hundreds of subordinates at the Great Lord level.
Hang Yu was quite confident in his own strength, but at most, he could defeat Great Lords and was not yet a match for governors. If he accidentally attracted the attention of Heska, the strongest king here,
it would an big trouble!
Even Dai Yunzhong and Ji Shuang only knew Hang Yu was here for business but were unaware of what that business was.
Hang Yu did not disclose.
The two did not ask.
This mutual understanding was present.
Hang Yu began to recall the environnt of Dragon Ridge.
Dragon Ridge was located at the center of the Earth Dragon Realm, a place with a highly complex environnt. Hundreds of colossal mountain ranges intertwined, forming a super-sized maze-like terrain.
Due to its labyrinth-like appearance,
it was also known as the Mist Dragon Ridge.
The largest city within Mist Dragon Ridge was called Mist Dragon City.
Hang Yu disguised himself to avoid imdiate recognition, and asked Dai Yunzhong and Ji Shuang, "How are the people in Dragon Ridge doing currently?"
Dai Yunzhong replied helplessly, "The situation in Dragon Ridge differs from the Desert Province. The Dragon-man Race has near absolute dominion over this place, let alone a large territory like Sand Spring City; we don’t even have a small one!"
Uh.
Life was too harsh.
This was why Hang Yu initially chose the Desert Province, farthest from Dragon Ridge, rather than the resource-rich Dragon Ridge. Even if thrown into such an environnt, Hang Yu would struggle to thrive.
There were simply too many strong beings here!
In this area, 60% of towns and cities were directly controlled by the Dragon-man Race, while the remaining 40% were loyal to Mist Dragon City.
How could anyone establish themselves?
Hang Yu said, "A battle with the Dragon-man Race will co eventually, and it won’t be long. The Dragon Ridge environnt isn’t particularly safe. I suggest you move to other areas."
Saying this,
he paused.
He added, "If you’re willing to move to the Desert Province, Sand Spring City will undoubtedly welco you with open arms."
Dai Yunzhong and Ji Shuang were quite tempted.
They were always wanderers in Dragon Ridge.
However, if they could move to the stable Desert Province, with their capabilities, becoming a Minor Lord wouldn’t be a problem!
The issue was, though.
Reaching the Desert Province was no easy task!
Without a fast flying mount, it could take a month to arrive, and even with one, they would face various dangers and unexpected situations aplenty.
Of course, another reason.
Though unsuitable for force developnt, Dragon Ridge allowed for rapid personal growth, as it was rich in resources and had the highest average monster level in the Earth Dragon Realm.
With Lord Monsters even fought over in the Desert Province,
in Dragon Ridge, there were even Overlord-level monsters roaming in the wilderness.
Despite not forming a team, Dai Yunzhong had Celestial Net’s support, and Ji Shuang had the backing of the Spirit Relief Association’s higher-ups. They could temporarily make up for their developnt shortcomings in the Spirit Realm with modern organizational resources and industries.
Without worrying about team developnt, they focused more on themselves and had both reached level 13, possessing considerable skills and equipnt, enough to rival mbers of the Azure Dragon Elite Team.
Hang Yu asked, "How far is this place from Mist Dragon City?"
Dai Yunzhong and Ji Shuang were surprised: "Not close, but not far either. With a flying mount, you could reach it in a day. Boss Hang, are you planning to go to Mist Dragon City?"
Hang Yu nodded: "Yes, I need to go to Mist Dragon City for my task. Do you have any way of getting in?"
Dai Yunzhong and Ji Shuang exchanged glances and discussed for a mont.
Eventually, Ji Shuang said, "We’ve never been to Mist Dragon City as it’s extrely dangerous, but there’s a team that frequently goes in and out, trafficking goods from the city and making a lot of Crystal Stone."
Hang Yu asked, "What team?"
"The team is called the Celestial Team. Its leader and core mbers are all from Korea. We don’t interact much, but if Boss Hang needs it, we can help contact them."
Once one had so fa,
things indeed got more convenient.
Mist Dragon City, also known as Dragon City, was the highest-level city in the Earth Dragon Realm and the Mad Dragon King’s base. Entry for ordinary people was hardly possible. Since a team was already operating in the city, it indicated that a small number of humans seed to have found a way in and out of Mist Dragon City.
Dai Yunzhong and Ji Shuang were willing to assist Hang Yu in making contact.
This saved Hang Yu significant effort.
The following two days,
Hang Yu stayed at Dai Yunzhong’s group’s base, waiting for news and assisting in taking on monsters they dared not challenge before, gathering enough Spiritual Qi to upgrade skills and levels.
In this process,
Hang Yu collected information about Dragon Ridge.
Dragon Ridge had no fewer than eleven large cities, much more than the usual four or five in common provinces, with Mist Dragon City being the foremost city in the Earth Dragon Realm.
Reportedly, the population of Mist Dragon City had reached over 5000!
The five thousand were not soldiers but made up of many Intelligent Species. While for humans, this number might seem insignificant, in a place like the Earth Dragon Realm, it was indeed substantial!
The prosperity and strength of this city were imaginable!
(PS: These two days have been particularly busy with New Year celebrations at my grandfather’s ho, so updates might be unstable, but there won’t be any breaks. Please understand!)
