Small-Scale Skirmishes!

Long Binglin leaned close to Long Zongyin's ear and whispered something.

Long Zongyin's pupils contracted, and he grabbed Long Binglin's wrist, his knuckles turning white from the pressure.

"Is it really true?"

Long Binglin nodded solemnly.

"There's no mistake! E Ying noticed it first, and after being reminded, I also had the same feeling. The other party is someone who is favored!"

Long Zongyin paced around.

The Jiang Huai's Favor!

How could a mere human naval officer possess the Jiang Huai's Favor?

"Unbelievable, truly unbelievable..."

Long Binglin hesitated for a moment. "Elder, the Dragon Lord Reincarnation..."

Long Zongyin hesitated, then lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

I don't acknowledge it.

No rebuttal.

Long E Ying and Long Binglin exchanged a glance.

The Elder's actions undoubtedly indicate that it is indeed possible! In the entire Jianghuai region, there are only three types of creatures that can enjoy the Jiang Huai's Favor!

Dragon Lord!

A unique dragon species within the first generation of the Dragon Lord Bloodline! Flood Dragon!

But if we examine the root cause closely, the one who truly enjoys the Jiang Huai's Favor is actually only the Dragon Lord! Within one generation, the Dragon Lord personally created the dragon species, and those whose bloodlines benefited from it, receiving indirect blessings.

The favor bestowed by the Flood Dragon stems from the possession of the True Dragon's Legacy, which is obtained by swallowing and spitting out Dragon Pearl day and night.

Those who are both favored will naturally feel the Unseen when they meet.

Long Binglin and Long E Ying do not belong to the first generation of dragon species, but belong to the third generation species which are closer to the first generation species.

Although they themselves are not favored, they benefit from their innate bloodline and have a faint sense of those who are favored.

When faced with such an important matter, neither of them would speak carelessly.

Long Zongyin was greatly disappointed.

At the time, he was arguing with Xu Tiling, trying to cut as much as possible and take as much territory as possible, and didn't pay much attention to the people behind him.

When the River Dolphin was delivering the message, someone deliberately obstructed the process, so I didn't witness it myself...

Long Binglin clasped his hands in a fist salute. "The other party is quite tall among ordinary people, but his height is only comparable to that of a Dragonfolk girl among the Dragon Girl race. He has no dragon aura at all, so he is undoubtedly a human!"

"The underwater intelligence gathering capabilities of the River Conservancy Office are stronger than ours, which is quite strange. The recipient of the message from the River Dolphin is also..."

"The only suspicious point is, if the other party is truly the Dragon Lord Reincarnation, why hasn't he come looking for us?"

Thinking of this, Long Binglin was deeply saddened.

Does the Dragon Lord not trust his own guards?

"Has Xu not yet solved the mystery of the womb?"

"The mystery of the womb remains unsolved?" Long Binglin's spirits lifted. "That makes sense. The mystery of the womb remains unsolved, yet a trace of the Dragon Lord's talent has already awakened? Hence, the mysterious abilities underwater? That explains it..."

Long Binglin and Long E Ying asked each other questions, answered each other's questions, and discussed the matter, speaking eloquently and logically.

The more Long Zongyin hesitated, the more confused he became. His various guesses began to converge in one direction, and he showed signs of being influenced by self-suggestion. He quickly told the two to stop.

"Stop! Stop! Don't jump to conclusions! It's too early to discuss whether it is true or not!"

The two of them fell silent.

Long Zongyin pondered, "The most urgent task is to inform the First Elder and the Second Elder to handle the cooperation with the River Conservancy Office properly, get the concrete evidence in hand, and then investigate and discuss it in depth before deciding whether to make contact."

Three Elder of the Dragonfolk Clan.

The First Elder and the Second Elder are the strongest, while the Third Elder handles most miscellaneous matters. If a major event like the Dragon Lord Reincarnation were to occur, he would undoubtedly need to discuss it with the other two.

Especially with the two younger ones giving hints and suggestions, Long Zongyin felt that his ideas had become biased and that he might be making a wrong decision by drawing a target instead of an arrow.

When people are in trouble, their thinking often becomes inaccurate, and it is extremely difficult for them not to let their guesses about a matter align with their own hopes.

Long Zongyin summoned the surrounding Dragonfolk.

At the moment of boarding.

Long Zongyin suddenly asked, "Where is the South Bank River Conservancy Office located?"

"Ping Yang County, um, according to the Dragonfolk who returned a few days ago, Huaiyin Prefecture on the South Bank has been renamed Pingyang Prefecture."

"Did we send someone there?"

"Yes, two people from each county along the river, and then they will infiltrate several prefectures around Da Shun along several river channels to search for the Dragon Lord."

Dragonfolk who went to Ping Yang County?

"It seems so..."

In the middle of the valley.

The two brothers Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe, wielded long pickaxes and worked hard to carve through the cliffs, throwing the stones they had carved into the valley.

Long Zijian, Long Zihe, and their two brothers watched for a while, then picked up their pickaxes and came over together.

Long Pingjiang glanced at the two men as he looked up and put down his tools.

"Zijian, Zihe? When did you get back? I haven't seen you for several days."

Long Pinghe asked, "You didn't just arrive, did you?"

"Ugh, don't even mention it." Long Zijian looked gloomy and squatted down on the rock. "So many Snake Demon have come to my area again, it's like a gathering of scholars, it's so dangerous. I was thinking of going to find you two brothers to avoid the storm."

Who would have thought that when the clan summoned us back, we were on the road and didn't even meet! The messenger only found you two brothers in Pingyang and left. When Zihe and I arrived at the territory, we couldn't find a trace of you for several days. We went to the two neighboring counties, but there was still no one there.

Only then did he realize something was wrong, guessing that the clan might have summoned him back. He rushed back, narrowly missing the auspicious baptism; this was a very unlucky year!

Long Pingjiang was stunned. "Snake Demon again in Fragrant Township County?"

"Yes, at least four Snake Demon, and several Great Monster Spirit!" Long Zihe exclaimed vividly. "Two of them are even wider than the previous one!"

Long Zijian said, "Speaking of which, we were also about to ask you two. So many Snake Demon, it's strange. Do you know something? We felt that you two had something on your minds around the New Year."

"No, no."

"How could that be? Hahaha."

"Hmm..."

Long Zijian an eyebrow, about to speak, when an invisible ripple swept across the valley, bringing with it a series of clear sounds.

The Dragonfolk darted out of the valley and floated on the water.

A group of bruised and battered Big Frog, big and small, swam over from a distance, each one bearing wounds and carrying Great Anchor, some with broken heads.

Seeing this, the Frog Clan and Dragonfolk rushed forward to offer their help.

The lead Big Frog, clutching a broken, blood-stained anchor, sat down on the ground, exhausted, and croaked loudly.

"The Iron Head Fish is here!"

The news caused an uproar.

Witnessing the injured frog, the group of Big Frog were filled with righteous indignation.

The Yellow Skin Frog roared in fury, "How dare this audacious Iron Head Fish invade my Frog Southern Domain! I'll make sure it never returns!"

"Quack quack quack!"

"Quack, quack!"

Various Big Frog leaped and bounded, each carrying an anchor, as if seeking revenge against the Iron Head Fish.

The Dragonfolk people looked up at Long Yanrui.

Just as Long Yanrui was hesitating, several White Sturgeon rapidly approached from the sky. Overjoyed, he exclaimed, "Frog Guerrilla, calm down! Let's wait for our clan Elder to return so we can discuss this further!"

After reaching an agreement with the Dragonfolk, the River Conservancy Office fleet set off at full speed.

The pressure is no longer applied gradually, but rather the goal is to reach the destination in one go.

Inside the cabin.

Xu Yuelong pasted the letter Liang Qu had sent and looked around.

"Let's discuss the profit sharing later, once we have the money. Does anyone have any objections?"

"No."

"Indeed, we'll divide it up once we get it."

"Alright, in that case, I'll make the following arrangements."

Kai Yun, Yi Peng, Yin Bin, the three of you will split into a group and travel 210 li westward. There is a small island nearby.

I arranged to deliver the goods there with the people from the Celestial Ship Merchant Guild. Judging by the dates, it should be within the next couple of days, so I can set off now.

The three people inside the cabin accepted the order and left.

"Zhong Shi, go prepare the materials immediately and draw the Ink Array for everyone. The Frog Clan patrol team has already fought a battle with the Northern Fish Scout Team, and it is estimated that small-scale battles will break out in various areas throughout the day."

We should go and contribute some effort, but our priority should be self-preservation; we should avoid one-on-one or two-on-one situations as much as possible.

"When drawing Ink Array, prioritize Great Martial Master, then our own people, followed by the Demon Subduing Division and the Three Laws Department. Leave the Lineage members for last. Draw as many as you can."

"Yes."

Orders were issued one after another.

As the sun sets.

The Dragonfolk who surfaced saw the fleet and went back to report.
