"What do we do now? Longxia is unstoppable."

U.S.A conference room.

The leaders were all here for the first time.

Everyone big and small was present.

We have to take this seriously.

It's no longer a matter of U.S.A. seeking revenge against Longxia.

With this wave of national conflict, it's basically over, and what then? If Longxia is strong enough, U.S.A. might also be finished.

"Sigh, how did things get this way?"

"Originally, we, U.S.A., were the first globally to clear Black Dragon Mountain and own Black Dragon Equipment."

"All we needed was to develop steadily, continue raiding dungeons, and strengthen our Professionals."

"During the national conflict, what would Longxia use to play with us?"

"No, no, no, that's not right, even if we don't pick a fight with Longxia, it's inevitable that Longxia will dominate the global equipment rankings this time."

"But at worst, we could still get second place in the national conflict, which is a ton of resources!"

"Now, it's not just Longxia, we're probably no match even for Japan, the U.K., and Russia."

...

The leaders sighed, wearing worried expressions.

"But we lost a lot of High Combat Professionals to Longxia."

"Even the five Chairmen were slaughtered by that Undead Mage."

"In addition, Neil led a large batch of High Combat Professionals to their death in Longxia."

"Our first echelon has basically been emptied out."

"And now, Longxia has mysteriously dominated the global equipment rankings."

"This… this is going to be the death of us!"

"Given the tense situation between us and Longxia, this national conflict might be our execution."

"Moreover, the most serious question is, what do we do after the national conflict? How do we protect ourselves?"

...

All the chairmen didn't dare speak anymore.

They didn't even dare to let out a fart.

These chairmen were elected later, but they're inherently half-baked.

With so many High Combat Professionals dead, they were forced to step up.

But people like them, how can they have the qualifications and courage to confront Longxia.

We can't win, absolutely not!

Now it's time to consider what to do next.

"How about we send someone to seek peace? It's not too late, the national conflict hasn't started yet. As long as we show enough sincerity, it shouldn't be a problem, sacrificing some resources and benefits, when we develop, we might regain what we lost, but if we fight them, we might really be gone." Someone proposed.

If it were before.

Such words would definitely be met with a scolding from the leaders.

But now, the leaders were silent.

A few seconds later.

The main leader nodded and said, "It's an idea, and our only option right now. Let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs handle it, and make sure to be sincere!"

...

U.S.A. has started preparing to seek peace.

And similarly.

The strange global dominance of Longxia on the equipment rankings has already sparked intense discussions in countries worldwide.

All countries grew nervous.

Among them, some small countries were not so tense.

They merely wait to see who is stronger to follow that side. At this moment, of course, they sent envoys to ally with Longxia.

As for U.S.A., they don't care, most High Combat Professionals are dead.

Although Japan is steady and reliable, globally, everyone knows the deep enmity between Longxia and Japan. That's a blood feud!

Now that Longxia has the chance to rise, Japan is absolutely terrified!

If they side with Japan now, it's courting death!

Instead, other countries are the most uncomfortable.

They used to compete with Longxia, though not as complicated as Japan and U.S.A. with Longxia's feud, they're not on friendly terms either.

Now, Longxia has risen unexpectedly, and things are complicated!

But not all countries are prepared to back down.

Some larger countries, having never clashed with Longxia, nor encountered friction, at least not in the short term.

Thus, instinctively believe.

During the national conflict, they might not necessarily be weaker!

Even though Longxia has a mysterious Undead Mage, it's just one person, and they don't care that much.

It's understandable.

After all, if one hasn't competed with Lu Ran, they can't comprehend Lu Ran's terror.

For a Professional, instinctively, you think the opponent is just a powerful individual Professional, nothing more.

Having this thought destines their end to be very tragic.

Because Longxia.

Seeks not only victory in the national conflict.

But to unify the entire world!

At this moment, Longxia's Imperial Capital had already quieted down a bit.

As soon as the equipment left its ownership and could be picked up freely, countless people started snatching it.

Soon, all the equipment was snatched clean.

Then, transactions began, and the entire area around the Imperial Capital turned into a free market.

Even the wild monsters originally supposed to respawn here were bewildered.

The perimeter outside the city is a low-level monster area.

Upon respawning, there's hardly a place to stand, with densely packed Professionals everywhere.

As soon as they appeared, they were hacked to death!

And Lu Ran and his group had arrived at Cang Dragon Ridge.

Although it is around the Imperial Capital, it's quite far, deep in the mountains, flanked by Xiang Mountain on the left and primeval forest on the right.

"Cang Dragon Ridge is vast, with monster levels ranging from fifty to sixty, considered the edge of the forbidden undeveloped area; no one comes here to level up." Yu Qingcang explained.

Although level fifty to sixty monsters give good experience, it doesn't compare to the leisure of dungeon monsters.

Plus, familiarity with dungeon farming ensures efficiency and safety.

But here…

Liu Xinxin explained at this moment:

"Cang Dragon Ridge has only one type of monster, the Rotten Wood Cyan Dragon."

"The level of Rotten Wood Cyan Dragons is random, as Chairman Yu mentioned earlier, ranging randomly between fifty to sixty."

"Although called Rotten Wood Cyan Dragon, it's actually not a dragon."

"But a strange creature with a lion's body and a dragon's head."

"Their speed is extremely fast, they attack proactively, and their aggro range is huge."

"In the past, even a few High Combat Professionals have been beaten to death here."

"Because, unintentionally, you may attract a large group of Rotten Wood Cyan Dragon's aggro and get swarmed."

"Once in a rush, battles shift, attracting more monsters' aggro."

"Thus, basically no one comes here to level up, indeed a good place to test your Abyss Bone Dragon."

...

Lu Ran listened to Liu Xinxin's explanation.

Looking up.

The entire Cang Dragon Ridge was rugged and uneven, with high terrains but very rugged, also covered in dense forests.

"Indeed a good place." Lu Ran nodded.

But he didn't rush to summon the Abyss Bone Dragon.

Instead, he thought for a moment and released Sillor first.

"Sillor, go patrol around and see if there are any Professionals leveling here. If not, we'll start testing Skills." Lu Ran said thoughtfully.

"Okay." Sillor nodded.

The next second, he transformed into a black streak of light and disappeared on the spot.
