"Don't worry, Elder Brother Zhu Long will return; he is our Dragon Clan's strongest besides the Clan Chief."

Ying Long wielded the Dragon-scale Axe and once again sought out the beast tide.

He was the fourth Innate Divine Sage born of the Dragon Clan, and by the time of his birth, the Dragon Clan was already very prosperous.

Waiting for it were the Dragon Clan warriors who nurtured their strength in the sea, lying in wait to strike.

They were mainly responsible for gathering intelligence and dealing with flying ferocious beasts.

"Doesn't that mean he won't receive even a shred of the Dragon Clan's fortune after this calamity, and his cultivation will be delayed?"

It has already formed the current state of the Dragon Clan, led by Zu Long, Zhu Long, and Qing Long.

Qing Long was persuaded by Zu Long to agree to the arrangements for Ying Long, but he also raised a question.

"But how should we stop him from participating?"

Whenever the situation with the ferocious beasts becomes irretrievable, Chaos steps in to take charge.

This also comes with great sacrifice.

The Dragon-scale Axe consumes little mental energy, allowing him to stay aware of his surroundings even amidst the chaotic battlefield.

The only thing they hadn't anticipated was that Zhu Long would suddenly lose all contact and vanish after the calendrical calculations.

By this point, Qing Long also understood Zu Long's actions and joined in cooperation.

"In this age of great contention, we advance without retreat; we fight with confidence we can win, but we must always keep a reserve."

Whenever it appears, it inevitably inflicts massive destruction upon the ferocious beasts' offensive.

He did not understand Zu Long's schemes, and in the past Zu Long never discussed such matters with him.

Thinking of this, Qing Long's heart bled; those fighting on the battlefield now were all his clansmen whom he had watched grow up.

"Regarding this matter, I have already consulted with Zhu Long, and now I also want to hear your opinion."

Ying Long expressed his doubts to Qing Long, for he had only recently become Luo Tianzun Shen.

"If he enjoys the fortune after the calamity, then when he fails, he will surely be held accountable as well."

Last night I revised the previous layout, working until 4:00 a. m., then went to work at 7:30 a. m., didn't rest at noon, and felt almost dead from exhaustion.
