The seven-meter-long Azure-Eyed Flame Dragon caused a sandstorm to fly around it with just a flap of its wings.

Roar!

The dragon's roar echoed through the sky, and the low-level alien beasts and superhuman warriors trembled in fear under the dragon's might.

Even the little fox girl held in Yang Xi's paws was trembling with fear, afraid that Young Master Du Lan might get interested and eat her up in one bite.

Yang Xi yelled a few more times before stopping.

He did this, of course, to announce his return to the entire Crimson Frost Island.

If the family members were still on Crimson Frost Island, they would surely have found their way here by following the sound. After all, they came to gather intelligence, and time is precious, so every little bit saved counts.

Sure enough, shortly after Yang Xi let out a dragon's roar, two more dragon roars echoed from the other side of Crimson Frost Island.

One was weathered and domineering, while the other was somewhat childish and crisp.

A moment later, the silhouettes of two giant dragons, one large and one small, appeared in the backlight. The larger one was a full eight meters long, even longer than the third-tier Duran, while the smaller one was less than four meters long and was flapping its wings vigorously, trying to catch up.

Yang Xi went to meet them. After the three giant dragons emitted a dazzling red light in the air, they transformed into two men and two women.

Based on the memories left by Duran, Yang Xi knew the identities of the visitors. He smiled at them and said, "Second Uncle, Shirley, so it's you two who have come!"

Duran's second uncle, Hood, is the second strongest member of the Keith family after Duran's father, possessing the strength of a third-tier expert.

The girl with golden twin ponytails and wearing a pure white lace dress is Duran's cousin, Sherry Keith. Despite her young age, she has already broken through to the second level in terms of strength.

After all, she was a core member of the Keith family, and her talent was even greater than Duran's. With an abundant supply of magic crystals, her cultivation speed was naturally fast enough.

When the chubby Hu De saw Yang Xi, he breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "Finally found you, kid! I knew our Keith family heir wouldn't die so easily!"

Yang Xi proudly straightened his chest and said, "Second Uncle, I'm not just alive, my strength has also broken through to the third level!"

"Oh, not bad, not bad at all! The family has gained another third-tier expert. This is truly a joyous occasion!"

Even the proud and aloof little cousin Shirley couldn't help but glance at her cousin with her bright green eyes, muttering a few words under her breath.

This cousin used to be quite attached to Duran when they were little, but as they grew up, they started to get along with him, thinking that he was just a spoiled brat and that the one who should inherit the Keith family was her, who was more talented.

Yang Xi said with a smile, "Shirley, I think your skills are still lacking. You'll have to work hard in the future! Hahaha!"

Thanks to his disguise skills, Yang Xi was able to fully bring out Duran's annoying personality.

As expected, Sherry, with her blonde twin ponytails, retorted defiantly after hearing Duran's words, "Don't worry, I'll definitely break through to the third tier earlier than you, Duran!"

Uncle Hu De was quite helpless. Fearing that the two siblings would start arguing again, he had no choice but to smooth things over, "Alright, Duran, you've suffered this time, you should go home and rest. Where are Taught and the other two?"

Hood asked tentatively, but since the two of them didn't appear with Durant, the possibility of their demise was very high.

Sure enough, Duran, who had been arguing animatedly with his cousin just a moment ago, suddenly slumped down, saying somewhat dejectedly, "Those two died in the chaos of battle."

Yang Xi masterfully used this tone, perfectly portraying a spoiled and arrogant young master from a wealthy family who still possessed some conscience.

Hood stepped forward and patted Duran on the shoulder, comforting him, "Those two are heroes of the family! To die on the battlefield is an honor for our Keith family. Hold your head high, you are the heir of the Keith family!"

With encouragement from her second uncle, Yang Xi finally emerged from her "faint sadness".

At this moment, Hu De finally noticed the little fox girl beside him and smiled slightly, saying, "Did this young lady find Duran? Then please come with us to the Mercenary Guild so we can settle the mission details."

Actually, the Keith family had already deposited those thousand magic crystals with the Mercenary Guild. Going along was also to prove something to the little fox girl.

"Thank you so much, sir!!!"

Although the little fox girl was terrified by the dragon's power, she persevered under the lure of the magic crystal.

Eggshell Mercenary Guild.

Upon seeing the chubby Hood, the succubus-blooded clerk immediately put on a fawning smile.

It wasn't just because of this gentleman's lavish spending; his extraordinary background was also very important. In Bright City, the Keith family was among the top three.

Now that the city lord, the Light Erosion Saint, has died, the patriarch of the Keith family, that third-tier limit powerhouse, is a strong contender for the next city lord.

Who knows, it might not be long before this City of Light is renamed Keith City or Flame Dragon City!

At that time, the Keith family's status in the Hundred Cities Federation will inevitably rise significantly!

The succubus swayed her incredibly slender waist and gave Yang Xi, who was standing next to Hu De, a flirtatious wink. She had heard that this young master Duran was quite the ladies' man, and if she could get involved with such a young master, she might be able to use that connection to raise her rank in the Mercenary Guild!

Yang Xi was helpless. He was a very upright person, but as a qualified actor, he had to perfectly replicate Du Lan's habits, so he went up and pinched him again.

"Astro!"

At the same time, the same word came to the minds of the three women present.

With this feeling of connection, the succubus sister was very efficient. In almost half the time, one hundred glittering beta-level magic crystals fell into the fox woman's hands.

Holding the heavy magic crystal in her hand, the little fox girl still felt a sense of unreality. She had just casually strolled around outside, and she had already obtained this bag worth a thousand gamma-level magic crystals?

With these magic crystals, she wouldn't need to risk her life to go to the front lines to fight, yet she would still have the resources to break through to the second tier.

Once her superpower level reaches Tier 2, she will have more choices in life!

Looking at the little fox girl who was so excited she was almost crying, Yang Xi couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that the gap between the rich and poor in the society of the Osiders was even greater than that between the Blue Star people!

There's no place like home!

Watching the little fox girl's slender figure walk out of the mercenary hall, turning back every few steps, Uncle Hu De suddenly said "Follow me" and then disappeared from the spot.

Yang Xi and her younger cousin Shirley exchanged a puzzled look. Could it be that they were going to "recycle" the magic crystal?

isn't it?

Our Keith family isn't short of magic crystals!

380 Slave Boys

"Cousin, let me give you a hand, otherwise you really won't be able to keep up with us."

Yang Xi laughed and grabbed Shirley, then followed Hu De.

Shirley didn't give Yang Xi a kind look the whole way. Although she was targeting Duran, Yang Xi didn't want to suffer the loss, so he took this opportunity to give his disobedient little cousin a hard time.

"I can keep up by myself, I don't need your help!"

Shirley pouted and twisted her lips.

"That's not up to you. Let your older brother help you out!"

Yang Xi, carrying Shirley, darted away swiftly, leaving behind a series of afterimages.

"Duran, you bastard, let me go right now!"

"If I let go of you, are you sure you won't fall flat on your face at this speed?"

Feeling the wind whistling against her face, Shirley, whose two pigtails stood up, paused for a moment, then resigned herself to being caught by Yang Xi.

Noticing his little cousin's change in attitude, Yang Xi chuckled to himself. Duran used to be bullied badly by Shirley, but now he's managed to get his revenge without affecting Duran's original persona.

Du Lan had bullied her younger sister quite a bit in the past, but she always ended up being outmaneuvered and beaten back. Now, she had the upper hand, thanks to her superior strength. After all, she had just broken through to the third tier, so no one would suspect that Du Lan's personality had drastically changed.

Soon, Yang Xi caught up with Hu De. The three of them hovered among the towering steel and concrete buildings surrounded by green plants, looking down at the little fox girl surrounded by three big men.

Hu De glanced at Yang Xi and Shirley and nodded to himself. It seemed that Duran's strength was not just that of someone who had just entered the third level!

It's good to teach Shirley a lesson.

"Second Uncle, did you foresee this scene all along?"

Hu De nodded and said, "The natives of Azure Star have an idiom, 'to possess a treasure is a crime.' This first-tier superhuman warrior with fox-woman blood suddenly receiving a reward of a thousand magic crystals will definitely attract the attention of others."

This Osider was quite humble and eager to learn. Yang Xi looked at Hud with new respect. It was rare to find an Osider who did not look down on the culture of Azure Star. He secretly harbored murderous intent in his heart. This kind of guy was very dangerous to the Azure Star race.

The fact that the Azure Star race has been able to resist until now is partly due to the arrogant Osed people's disdain for understanding Azure Star culture.

If every Osider were like this Hud, able to use even idioms, that wouldn't be good news.

"I asked you to come along to test you. In this situation, what should you choose?"

Sherry, who had recovered from her shock, chimed in, "Of course we'll kill them after these three kill the fox woman. It's a thousand magic crystals, after all. The family isn't short of them, but it'll be enough to train one more qualified warrior!"

Hood smiled but offered no comment: "Duran, what do you think?"

Yang Xi naturally knew the correct answer, but he had already done something slightly out of line. If he were to show off again now, even with his disguise ability, his identity might still be exposed. So he made an excuse, saying, "I think the same as Sherry."

"Tch, Durant, don't you have a brain? All you do is plagiarize my ideas!"

Shirley made a face at Yang Xi.

Yang Xi, naturally, glared back defiantly.

"Alright, alright, your actions can be considered as taking the interests of the Keith family into account. But now, I've made some unexpected gains from my research on the culture of the natives of Azure Star. You two should carefully study and observe my approach from now on!"

After saying that, Hu De transformed into a blue-eyed fire dragon and charged toward the ground.

The azure flames it spat out instantly cooked the three burly men, then it swallowed them whole!

Then, Hood's dragon aura enveloped the entire Crimson Frost Island, declaring, "Things given away by the Keith family are not for just anyone to covet! Anyone who dares to cause trouble for this girl again will suffer this fate!"

Then, Hood threw the magic crystal bag that the fox woman had been robbed to her.

This time, however, the fox woman was so frightened that she peed her pants.

Hood chuckled upon smelling the urine, then soared into the sky, transforming back into his original form as he flew.

"What did you two learn from the way I just handled this?"

Shirley answered obediently, but Yang Xi fell into deep thought.

It seems that the Osai people are slowly being assimilated by the culture of the Blue Star. Could it be that, apart from war, there is still room for maneuver between the Blue Star humans and the colonists?

Soon, Yang Xi shook his head and abandoned this naive idea. This was a war of plunder for resources between two planes. It was a matter of life or death unless one side was strong enough to easily suppress the other. But in the end, it would only result in enslavement and being enslaved.

A few days later, Yang Xi followed Hu De and Shirley to the place now known as the New Frey Continent by the colonists, which was originally called the Southern Continent.

The place where they disembarked was called "Viking Port," one of the top three ports on the New Frey continent, where large quantities of supplies, magic crystals, and slaves were transferred every day.

On the continent of New Frey, the most profitable businesses are naturally the trade in magic crystals and slaves.

The former needs no further explanation. Magic crystals can even replace currency in a certain sense, and those who engage in this trade can naturally make a fortune.

The subsequent slave trade was also violent.

The indigenous humans, who were the main participants in the slave trade, were generally sold for two to three magic crystals.

Among them, the younger the native humans, the higher the price, because the Azure Star Plane is a plane where magic is just beginning to emerge, and the probability of the first generation of superhumans appearing is very high.

If you spend two magic crystals to buy an ordinary native, raise him for a few years until he survives and awakens into a superhuman, the price can increase tenfold or even a hundredfold!
