In the end, the Mud Dragon decided to enact the plan of 'the complete disappearance of the Mud Skimmers and frame the Celestial Eagle Dragon King,' having Li Cunxu take all the Mud Skimmers away.

The Mud Dragon agreed to this plan, not entirely for revenge against the Celestial Eagle Dragon King. Calming down, it realized that the demise of the Mud Skimmers was not enough to demand the life of a Dragon King.

It agreed to this plan mainly because the Celestial Eagle Dragon King's potential was too strong, its growth too rapid. Among the twelve Dragon Kings, it was the last to become a Dragon King. Yet now, it was almost on par with the strongest Dragon King and was the most likely on the island to advance to the Venerable King level.

Once the Celestial Eagle Dragon King stepped into the Venerable King level, the Mud Skimmers would undoubtedly be wiped out; the Mud Dragon was certain because the Celestial Eagle Dragon King really hated the smell of the Mud Skimmers.

To prevent the Mud Skimmers remaining on Celestial Sea Island from being annihilated, the Mud Dragon simply decided to have Li Cunxu take all the Mud Skimmers away.

Actually, the Mud Dragon felt aggrieved. It couldn't understand why the Celestial Eagle Dragon King hated the earthy smell of the Mud Skimmers so much. In terms of stink, the fox scent of the Fox Dragon was a hundred times worse than the earthy smell of the Mud Skimmers, yet the Celestial Eagle Dragon King didn't despise the fox scent of the Fox Dragon but hated the Mud Skimmers.

Under the Mud Dragon's call, all the Mud Skimmers lined up to enter the Pet Beast Bag.

Li Cunxu said, "As agreed, you should tell me the secret of how you can speak human language."

The Mud Dragon dived into the center of the mud and after a while, it brought out something wrapped tightly with some kind of plantain leaves, about the size of a small freezer.

With a swipe of its dragon claw, the plantain leaves tore open, revealing the thing inside.

It looked somewhat like red earth.

The Mud Dragon said, "This is my secret to speaking human language."

Li Cunxu took a closer look, and when he recognized what it was, he was stunned.

It was a lord-level, epic-quality resource: [Talking Red Earth], requiring only five grams to allow a pet beast to refine the hyoid bone and start to speak.

And how much Talking Red Earth was there here?

Li Cunxu hugged this pile of earth, weighing over a ton at least.

The Mud Dragon looked somewhat reluctant; this earth was its only treasure. Why the only one? Where were the other treasures? They were all robbed. The Dragon Race had the habit of hoarding treasures, but there were too many dragons on Celestial Sea Island, and not enough treasures to go around. So, the strong dragons robbed the weak ones. Weak dragons had no treasures and could only envy.

The Mud Dragon was among those who could only envy.

This piece of red earth looked like worthless red earth, which is why it escaped being robbed; no dragon took it away.

To this, Li Cunxu could only say that those dragons didn't recognize its value and overlooked the greatest treasure.

Five grams of Talking Red Earth could sell for one Purple Gold Dragon Coin on the Purple Gold Online Store.

One ton consisted of two hundred thousand 'five-gram' portions of Talking Red Earth, equivalent to two hundred thousand Purple Gold Dragon Coins.

The Mud Dragon suppressed its reluctance and said, "I've used it, so I don't need it anymore. I'll give it to you."

"Give it to me? Do you know its value?" Li Cunxu was astonished.

The Mud Dragon said, "I know, a resource that can make pet beasts speak has always been in demand among humans."

"And yet you're giving it to me?"

"I hope you'll take care of the Mud Skimmers in the future, for its sake."

Li Cunxu refused with some distress, "No need, don't worry, even without it, I'll take good care of the Mud Skimmers."

The Mud Dragon insisted on pushing the Talking Red Earth onto Li Cunxu; without him accepting, it couldn't rest easy.

Li Cunxu was also somewhat tempted by the pile of Talking Red Earth, and eventually accepted the Mud Dragon's gift with hesitation.

Li Cunxu wasn't someone who took gifts for free; he remembered the sentiment behind Mud Dragon's gift and planned to repay it in the future.

…

At sheep-eating time, the Celestial Eagle Dragon King routinely seized a Golden-haired Sheep. As it turned around in the air to glance at the direction of the valley's mud pit, it noticed something odd: the smell of the Mud Skimmers seemed much reduced today. However, it didn't pay much attention, as enjoying a feast was more important than observing the Mud Skimmers.

Two hours after the Celestial Eagle Dragon King left, the Mud Dragon came to notify Li Cunxu.

Li Cunxu didn't observe the Celestial Eagle Dragon King on the prairie; the Invisible Cloak didn't work on king-level powers as their intuition could tell them where he was hiding.

Three hours after the Celestial Eagle Dragon King left.

The sheep-grabbing plan began.

Xiaoruan puffed its cheeks and blew a strong wind at a pile of poison powder.

The sleeping Golden-haired Sheep unknowingly inhaled the strong sleep-inducing poison powder with each breath, and since their poison resistance was very low, they soon fell into a deeper sleep.

Li Cunxu, the Mud Dragon, Xiaoruan, and Little White Spider... with Pet Beast Bags in hand, leisurely packed the Golden-haired Sheep one by one into the bags, as if picking stones by the roadside.

Before entering Celestial Sea Island, Li Cunxu predicted the likelihood of situations where he might need to take away a large number of pet beasts, as after all, Celestial Sea Island was Dragon Island, which was a treasure island full of gold in the eyes of Beast Masters. So, he rented lots of Pet Beast Bags before entering the treasure island.

The Pet Beast Bags he carried were enough to take all the Mud Skimmers and all the Golden-haired Sheep, with one-eighth of the space remaining.

There was a small incident when the Flame White Horse was packing the Golden-haired Sheep.

There was a Golden-haired Sheep that liked to sleep with its head buried in the wool of other Golden-haired Sheep and didn't smell the poison powder, hence didn't fall into deep sleep.

When the Flame White Horse tried to pack it with the Pet Beast Bag, it woke up.

The Golden-haired Sheep woke from its stupor, but upon seeing that what woke it was a horse and not its own kind,

it immediately attacked.

Head-on collision.

The Golden-haired Sheep leaped high, aiming its spiraled golden horn right at the Flame White Horse's head.

With its legendary talent of Light's Godspeed, the Flame White Horse dodged at a rapid speed,

The Golden-haired Sheep's head crashed heavily, boom—an echoing sound, creating a pit several dozen meters deep in the ground.

The power was remarkable, but the aftermath was somewhat comical. The Golden-haired Sheep's head got stuck in the ground, its two legs flailing before it managed to pull its head out.

As soon as it pulled its head out, the Flame White Horse gave it a kick, reinserting its head back into the ground.

The Golden-haired Sheep pulled its head out again, and the Flame White Horse kicked it back in, pulling it out, kicking it back...

During the kicks, the Flame White Horse remained cautious, given that this was an adult Golden-haired Sheep, at a gold tier level. Yet after kicking for a long time, the Golden-haired Sheep couldn't retaliate in any other way, only dully pulling its head out until it was knocked unconscious, without counterattacking.

The Flame White Horse tilted its head, looking at the Golden-haired Sheep with its head stuck in the ground, unconscious, with a puzzled expression.

Did it just defeat a gold-level opponent beyond its level?

Was this Golden-haired Sheep really gold level?

Li Cunxu explained, "Don't be puzzled, Golden-haired Sheep are just that weak, hurry up and pack the sheep."

Indeed, the Golden-haired Sheep had gold-level status, but it was subpar gold.

The attack from this Golden-haired Sheep caused no small trouble for Li Cunxu and the others; its commotion awakened several Golden-haired Sheep that hadn't been put to sleep by the poison.

The poison powder from Little White Spider was limited, and coupled with the expansive prairie, more than half the Golden-haired Sheep hadn't inhaled the strong sleep-inducing powder.

The awakened Golden-haired Sheep, some brave ones, attacked Li Cunxu and the others.

Xiaoruan exhaled a breath, instantly freezing them into ice sculptures.
