Chapter 522

"Draw lots!"

Long Zong Yin cupped his hands and folded the algae leaves.

The water algae drooped.

Couldn't tell which was long and which was short.

The elderly Dragon People whispered, the patrolling young people didn't dare to approach, patrolling wholeheartedly, dispersing the idlers.

"Third Elder, such a big thing as tribe members eating Qi, deciding by drawing lots, is it too sloppy?" A tall, thin Dragon Person with gray hair stood out, his tone suspicious.

Someone was willing to be the first bird, and the remaining old Dragon People responded one after another, trying to dissuade.

"Yes, why not find the Great Elder and Second Elder to discuss first?"

"Drawing lots is too sloppy."

"Third Elder, think twice!"

How can a Jiang Zongshi candidate be decided by drawing lots?

How sloppy.

"Can't draw lots, you come up with a plan to pick someone to eat this Heavenly Water Morning Dew?" Long Zong Yin stared at the gray-haired Dragon Person who spoke first.

"This..."

The gray-haired old Dragon Person lowered his head and didn't make a sound.

Deciding who eats the Qi now is by no means a display of elder power. If something happens in the future, one has to bear the responsibility.

The great responsibility of the tribe's future.

And if there are no accidents, there will be a judgment within twenty years.

No one answered.

Long Zong Yin took back his gaze, staring at the three water algae in his hand, sighing slightly.

It wasn't that he felt the tribe members had any bad intentions of seizing power.

It was really that the Dragon Lord's departure had caused the Dragon People to lose confidence, like children who had lost their parents' support.

Holding the only remaining inheritance of their parents, wanting to do this and that, always wanting to do it perfectly, every step must be taken carefully, considering repeatedly, wishing that one piece could see fifty steps, one hundred steps behind.

How is that possible?

The Dragon Lord played chess, and still lost two out of three.

Thinking too much only adds trouble.

Long Zong Yin straightened his spine and said loudly: "The Great Elder and Second Elder have fully entrusted this matter to me, and I naturally have the power to make decisions! Binglin, Eying, Yanrui, all three are good children, the Dragon Lord is above, let's leave it to heaven!"

"Good!"

"Well said!"

Human voices crossed the water area, echoing in their ears.

A man and a woman, two Dragon People, swept over from the dark night, their clothes rising and falling, without half a water wave, standing quietly behind the crowd.

"Great Elder! Second Elder!"

The old Dragon People in the field saw the two, a small half bowed, most knelt on one knee, greeting respectfully.

"Get up."

The water flow turned into ribbons, supporting everyone to stand up.

Great Elder, Second Elder...

Liang Qu looked at the newcomers.

From the position, the leader belongs to the Great Elder, seven feet five inches tall, which is two meters five, belonging to the tall type in the Dragon People tribe.

The one falling half a step behind is the Dragon Girl, who should be the Second Elder, about six feet two or three, which is two meters plus, quite a bit shorter.

Both were wrapped in plain-colored large cloaks, flickering like two waves of light when floating.

Unlike Long Zong Yin's full head of silver hair, the two elders looked younger, more suitable to be called middle-aged people.

The two Grandmasters of the Dragon People tribe...

"Liang my lord?"

The Great Elder looked at Liang Qu, he didn't need to distinguish, just from the height he could easily find him, similar to the Dragon Girl, even slightly inferior.

Liang Qu bowed: "With a Jiang Zongshi in front, I dare not be called my lord."

"Liang my lord has a dragon-like appearance and phoenix-like demeanor, there will be a place for you in the Jianghuai Great Marsh sooner or later, becoming a pillar of the court is just a matter of time, we two dare not rely on the old to sell the old." The Great Elder returned the salute.

The surrounding old Dragon People showed surprise.

They only knew Liang Qu was special, had merit, and the Dragon People tribe should treat him well, but didn't know he was special to this extent.

A pillar of the court!

Why did the Great Elder say this?

"Who can tell about the future, it's better to grasp the present." Liang Qu pointed to the water algae in Long Zong Yin's hand.

"Liang my lord's words are wonderful." The Second Elder also felt that eating Qi was important, "Since that's the case, draw lots."

The Great Elder and Second Elder had no different opinions, Long Zong Yin didn't dare to delay.

"Wait." The Great Elder drew a half-arc with his fingertips, "Why not let them come."

Who?

The fat catfish looked left and right, finding that the Dragon People elder was pointing at himself and the others, scratching his head with whiskers.

Long Zong Yin suddenly realized.

Three people, three beasts, just right for pairing.

Both sides didn't communicate in advance, and the three beasts had low strength, eliminating the possibility of cheating in drawing lots.

The gaze fell, Liang Qu stepped back two steps, lifting his palm sideways.

"Also good." Long Zong Yin looked at the three, "Pick it yourself."

Long Yanrui originally wanted to take the initiative to give up the competition, anyway, everyone's Qi-eating rate was the same.

But on second thought, he felt it was unfair to Brother Binglin and Sister Eying.

Being young is by no means an excuse to avoid responsibility.

Thinking about it.

Long Yanrui chose the fat catfish in the middle, fat and plump, looking quite blessed.

Long Binglin chose the river porpoise Round Head.

Long Eying chose the large crocodile "Cannot Move".

"Liang my lord, who comes first?"

Liang Qu saw the fat catfish eager to try, giving it a chance to be the vanguard.

"A-Fei, come out!"

The fat catfish rubbed its long whiskers, proudly bumped into Round Head, flicked its tail and came to Long Zong Yin, looking at the three water algae blocked by the palm and overlapped together, its long whiskers pointed here and there, but it was hesitant.

Touched it, didn't pull.

Jumped to another one.

Back and forth.

Every time the long whiskers fell and curled, Long Yanrui's heart rose to his throat.

The Dragon People didn't dare to urge, letting the fat catfish struggle.

Liang Qu was quite embarrassed.

"Don't pick!"

Receiving the urge, the fat catfish steeled its heart, picked the one in the middle, and pulled hard.

Yank.

A two-inch-long thin water algae!

Long Yanrui asked nervously: "Third Elder, this two inches... is it short, or long?"

Long Zong Yin was silent, spreading his palms.

The remaining two were both three inches...

The fat catfish hit the mark in one shot!

Hit it!

Long Yanrui: "?"

Round Head's fins shook, greatly disappointed, originally thinking he had a chance to appear.

Cannot Move flicked its tail, mixed into the Great King Lotus, disguised as a green stalk, wind and rain unmoved.

Long Binglin and Long Eying stood quietly, their hearts inexplicable, giving birth to some regret, some melancholy, some relief.

Perhaps even they themselves didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow at this moment.

The fat catfish's whiskers curled the water algae, not feeling sad, happily handed it to Long Yanrui, and patted his shoulder with its fins.

Long Yanrui stared at the short algae in his hand, seeing the fat catfish's whiskers flicking out afterimages, not quite understanding.

"My lord, what is it saying?"

Liang Qu said: "It says if you become rich, don't forget it, don't forget it when you become a Jiang Zongshi in the future."

The fat catfish nodded its head greatly.

Long Yanrui smiled bitterly twice: "My lord, rest assured, I will definitely not treat it badly."

After speaking.

Long Yanrui adjusted his mood, his face revealing some determination, grabbed the ice ball and cupped his fists.

"Please Elder, arrange for Yanrui! I will definitely not live up to the tribe's high expectations!"

"Good." The Second Elder patted Long Yanrui's shoulder, "No need for too much pressure, Liang my lord sought a top-tier lot for you, you drew it and hit it, you have heaven's mandate, there is definitely no possibility of failure, follow me."

"Yes!"

"All go down."

The Great Elder watched the two leave and dismissed the remaining elderly Dragon People.

Only those who knew Liang Qu's true identity remained in the field.

The Great Elder bowed again.

Liang Qu stepped aside, not understanding.

"Why does the Great Elder bow again?"

"The old man has a request that is not a request."

A request that is not a request?

"Great Elder can say it, whether it can be done, I cannot guarantee." Liang Qu's answer was ambiguous.

"Only wish to invite Liang my lord to be the Fourth Elder of our Dragon People tribe!"
