Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 128 Ambergris

Meng Zheng looked at the dragon-shaped jade pendant in Long Ying's hand. This jade pendant contained endless dragon energy and was obviously the source of the dragon energy here.

So, he bowed respectfully and said, "Please rest assured, senior, we will definitely assist you with all our strength."

Long Ying nodded, seeming satisfied with Meng Zheng's sincerity.

It said slowly: "Okay, let's set off. Let's go to the Canghai Tribe. I can't wait to see Zulong."

After saying that, the dragon shadow circled a few times and then plunged into the dragon-shaped jade pendant. The dragon shape of the jade pendant instantly became lively.

The jade pendant floated and finally landed in the hands of the Dragon Clan leader, who held it and followed Meng Zheng out.

Suddenly, Meng Zheng remembered that he had never asked the Dragonborn leader's name, and asked curiously, "I haven't asked for the Dragonborn leader's name yet?"

Upon hearing this, the Dragonborn leader quickly and respectfully replied, "I am the current leader of the Blazing-Horned Flame Dragon Dragonborn clan. My name is Chiyan. Thank you, Chief Meng Zheng, and your warriors for rescuing us from this difficult situation. Chiyan and the entire clan will remember this kindness."

Meng Zheng smiled and nodded, then said to the Dragonborn leader Chiyan, "You're too polite, Chief Chiyan. From now on, we're all one family. We should support each other and grow together."

Upon hearing this, the Blazing Flame Clan leader's eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation.

He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Yes, Patriarch Meng Zheng is right. We, the Dragon Clan, have lived in isolation here for a long time. Now we finally have the opportunity to leave this cave and see the outside world. All this is thanks to the kindness of Patriarch Meng Zheng and the elders of the Dragon Clan."

Meng Zheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "Chief Chiyan, you're too polite. Our Canghai Tribe has always been seeking opportunities for growth and development. Now that the elders of the Dragon Clan and the Dragonborn have joined us, I believe our strength will be greatly enhanced. In the future, we will face challenges together and share glory."

Upon hearing this, Chiyan felt a surge of ambition and passion in his heart.

This alliance with the Canghai Tribe and the Dragon Clan elders will be a key step for their dragon clan to move towards prosperity and strength.

So, he nodded firmly and said, "Patriarch Meng Zheng is right. My Dragon Clan will fully support the Canghai Tribe and the Dragon Clan elders."

After saying that, Chiyan turned to look at his people, with a determined light in his eyes.

He said loudly: "Warriors of the Dragon Clan, from today on, we will follow Chief Meng Zheng and the Dragon Clan elders to the Canghai Tribe to start a new life!"

Upon hearing this, the dragon warriors cheered loudly.

Leaving the cave this time will mean a new life for them.

No need to live in that narrow and cramped cave forever.

Just as he was about to leave, Meng Zheng suddenly remembered something and asked, "Chiyan, are there any usable resources in this cave? Since we've already given up on this place, we can't waste any usable resources."

Upon hearing this, Chiyan immediately nodded. "Chief Meng Zheng is absolutely right. This cave does indeed hide many precious resources." Chiyan said slowly, "During the years we've been protecting the Dragon Ball, we've also discovered some minerals and herbs. Although the quantity is small, they may be helpful to the development of the tribe."

Chief Chiyan led Meng Zheng and his companions deeper into the cave. This place was completely different from the areas they had previously passed through, filled with the vicissitudes of time and mystery. The cave walls were inlaid with faintly glowing minerals, illuminating the path forward.

"Look, these are the ores we found, called 'Dragon Scale Stone'," Chiyan said, pointing to a pile of ore gleaming with a silver-blue luster. "Dragon Scale Stone is hard and a top-quality material for crafting armor. It's a pity we lack the smelting technology to fully utilize it."

Meng Zheng carefully observed the dragon scale stone and thought to himself that there happened to be a clan in the Canghai tribe that was good at smelting black gold iron-armored crabs. If these dragon scale stones could be brought back to the tribe, they could definitely be used to create powerful equipment and enhance the tribe's combat effectiveness.

Then, Chiyan took them to an area shrouded in soft green light, where various exotic plants grew. Some had leaves like swords, and some flowers bloomed with faint fluorescence. The air was filled with rich vitality.

"This is our tribe's food resource planting area. The dragon ancestors once gave us a seed of life, which has always kept this area full of vitality. As long as there is a seed, it can thrive here. It's a pity that once the seed of life is planted, it disappears completely. Otherwise, if we bring it back to the Canghai tribe, it will be a great treasure land."

Meng Zheng nodded, "Yeah, what a pity!"

Chiyan took Meng Zheng to a small grass that looked like a sleeping dragon, pointed at it and said, "These are 'Ambergris'. After taking them, you can strengthen your physique, restore your spiritual power, and it is very beneficial for cultivation. It is the most important herb for my dragon clan. Without it, my dragon clan's bloodline cannot awaken, and its strength will stagnate." Chiyan explained.

He said to Meng Zheng seriously, "These ambergris can only grow here. They not only need abundant vitality, but also the nourishment of dragon energy. They cannot be planted outside."

Meng Zheng nodded. "Don't worry, Chief Chiyan. I will arrange for people to guard this place well. From now on, we will specialize in growing ambergris to provide sufficient resources for your clan."

When Meng Zheng said this, Chi Yan's eyes showed satisfaction.

The Blazing Horned Flame Dragon clan has only grown to a few hundred people to date, and the biggest reason is the insufficient supply of ambergris.

This precious land where the seeds of life are nurtured is the most important way for the dragon clan to obtain food. It is impossible to plant ambergris all over it, which also leads to the inability to grow ambergris on a large scale.

If the tribe cannot expand in scale, it cannot develop, and if it cannot develop, it cannot increase the production of ambergris.

This directly formed a vicious circle. Countless generations of dragon clan leaders have been trying to solve this problem, but the mission imprinted in their blood makes it impossible for them to escape from here.

In the end, they could only die out generation after generation, until the generation of Chiyan, when Meng Zheng and his group finally appeared, awakened Longying, and freed him.

The Canghai tribe has developed to this point, and it is not a problem to feed this group of dragon descendants. Therefore, except for some rare crops, all other useless herbs can be eradicated and either destroyed or brought back to the Canghai tribe for cultivation.

Meng Zheng's promise filled the heart of the Chiyan tribe leader with hope. He knew the importance of ambergris to the dragon clan, and he also understood what kind of changes Meng Zheng's proposal would bring to them.

"Chief Meng Zheng, I deeply admire your generosity and wisdom," said Chief Chiyan sincerely. "With your help, our Dragonborn clan will surely overcome our difficulties and usher in new prosperity."

"Chief Chiyan, let's set off now," Meng Zheng said. "I can't wait to see the future that the Canghai Tribe and the Dragonborn Clan will create together."

Upon hearing this, Chief Blazing nodded immediately. He turned to the Dragonborn warriors and said loudly, "Warriors, are you ready? We are about to embark on a new journey to embrace the glory and splendor that belongs to us!"

Upon hearing this, the Dragonborn warriors responded loudly, their eyes gleaming with determination and anticipation. Led by Chief Blazing Flame, they formed an orderly formation and followed Meng Zheng and his group out of the cave.
