Chapter 580: Bountiful Harvest
Chapter 580: Bountiful Harvest
As soon as the Red Dragon Queen entered the cave, she used her mental powers to transmit the scene inside to the outside, ensuring the other dragons wouldn't worry.
When the thousands of dragons outside saw the ten revived clan dragons inside the cave, they were immediately stunned! They had witnessed Su Yu bring ten of their clan dragons back to life, a miracle in itself!
For the dragon race, where young dragons were scarce, this act of kindness was immeasurable!
Now, Su Yu stood at the entrance of the cave, leaning against the wall.
The thousands of dragons gazed at him with eyes full of admiration.
If the reputation system in the Evolution game were applied, Su Yu's standing with the dragons would have been at most "Friendly" when he first arrived on Dragon Island. Now, it had escalated to "Revered."
Princess Coco stood proudly among the young dragons, boasting to the hundreds around her, "Don't forget, I was the one who invited Drake to Dragon Island!"
"Princess Coco, you're amazing!"
"You're truly a princess, with such remarkable insight!"
"Thanks to Princess Coco inviting Drake, our clan dragons wouldn't have been revived otherwise."
Praise echoed around Coco, and she beamed, her eyes narrowing into slits of satisfaction.
The Red Dragon Queen was busy treating the eight recently revived clan dragons. The four other Dragon Kings, who were free, flew over to Su Yu and transformed into Skrulls, standing in a line before him.
The cave entrance was not very spacious, so transforming into Skrulls saved space.
After completing their transformations, the Green Dragon Queen stepped forward, her eyes filled with gratitude. "Mr. Drake, thank you for your heroic actions. On behalf of the dragon race, I offer you my deepest gratitude!"
She performed a unique dragon thanksgiving gesture.
Su Yu hurriedly returned the gesture and smiled. "It was my duty. Dragons are my friends, and I couldn't stand by and do nothing if I had the ability to help."
The Black Dragon King, with a grateful expression, added, "No matter what, you will always be a friend of the dragon race! Since you have saved the lives of ten clan dragons, we cannot be stingy. Mr. Drake, what reward do you desire?"
The Blue Dragon King smiled and chimed in, "We dragons are avid collectors, with countless treasures amassed from across the continent. Whatever you need, we can provide."
"Is that so," Su Yu's eyes twinkled as he replied, "I would like the body of the seventh-rank Legendary Spirit Squid. Would that be possible?"
The Legendary Spirit Squid was something Su Yu was requesting for Morning Star, and it was of great importance to her.
According to Morning Star's estimation, after absorbing the Spirit Squid, her strength would increase by a level in a short time, from level 80 to level 81.
While the difference between "level 80" and "level 81" might seem minor, in reality, each level after reaching the seventh rank saw an exponential increase in power. A "level 81" was approximately 50% stronger than a "level 80"!
Moreover, with Morning Star already possessing the Star Trace Eye, absorbing the entire Spirit Squid would allow her to advance to the peak of the seventh rank at a much faster rate.
Thus, Su Yu's first request was for the body of the Legendary Spirit Squid.
"The body of a Legendary Spirit Squid..." The Black Dragon King hesitated.
The body of a Legendary Spirit Squid was extremely valuable, a rare treasure even for the dragons. It had been obtained at the cost of ten clan dragons' lives, sacrificed by the White Dragon Queen.
The Black Dragon King turned to the White Dragon Queen beside him, seeking her input with a questioning glance.
However, the White Dragon Queen did not hesitate for a moment. She declared loudly, "Mr. Drake, if you desire the body of the Spirit Squid, I am willing to give it to you! Moreover, a single Spirit Squid's body is insufficient to express our gratitude. Is there anything else you need?"
"Alright, you decide!" Su Yu smiled. "I'm already very satisfied with the Legendary Spirit Squid's body. I don't dare to ask for anything more."
"Very well," the White Dragon Queen replied with a half-smile. "I'll personally select some treasures for you as a token of gratitude from our dragon clan!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The next six hours were filled with a grand celebration hosted by the dragons. This celebration was twofold: it marked the resurrection of ten clan members and the capture of over 4,000 Giant Blue-striped Octopuses, an amount equivalent to forty years of their usual haul!
As the guest of honor, Su Yu received a generous reward. The White Dragon Queen, knowing what was lacking on Earth, ensured that most of his rewards were in the form of gold and Spirit Stones. In the end, the dragon clan bestowed upon Su Yu 30 tons of gold, 3 tons of high-quality Spirit Stones, and various other jewels and dragon clan specialties.
By now, Su Yu's journey to Skrul could be considered incredibly fruitful!
In the country of Baker, he had followed Cindy Doppler's intelligence and secured (stolen) a vast amount of military equipment. This included over 5,000 mechs of various models, 200,000 laser guns and ion beam guns, 5,000 war vehicles, 3,700 drones, 200 large Spirit Tanks, 1,500 small Spirit Tanks, and 7 tons of Spirit Crystals. This was enough to equip an army of several hundred thousand soldiers!
At Dragon Island, he received the body of a Legendary Magic Beast, 60 tons of gold (30 tons of which he received in exchange for three bottles of Master-grade Energy Elixirs), and 3 tons of Spirit Stones.
If his previous visit to Skrul had been primarily about trading 300 tons of gold for advanced technology, with little else to show for it besides assassinating the enemy leader, this time his gains were nothing short of spectacular!
Even Su Yu himself hadn't expected such a bountiful harvest before coming to Skrul! He couldn't help but smile as he looked at the full storage of his necklace.
He let himself fully immerse in the dragons' celebration, sharing in their joy and triumph. However, time was precious to him, and he didn't want to waste a single moment.
After the celebration, Su Yu bid farewell to the five Dragon Kings, preparing to leave Dragon Island. The Dragon Kings tried to persuade him to stay, but Su Yu was determined to leave.
Reluctantly, they escorted him to the western sea of Dragon Island, seeing him off with a grand send-off. Over two hundred dragons, including the five Dragon Kings, accompanied him, a level of honor that even the Sun Emperor Manina might not have received.
Among the dragons were the ten that had just been resurrected. After six hours of treatment and rest, they were now able to move and had come to see Su Yu off.
Upon reaching the western sea of Dragon Island, the dragons paused in the air, giving Su Yu their final farewells.
"Drake! Be careful on your journey back!"
"Indeed, with so many valuable items, you must be wary of the Skrul's ill intentions."
"Make sure to visit Dragon Island again! We welcome you anytime!"
