Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 127 Dragon Ball
The dragon's shadow exuded an endless aura, as if it could devour everything. Its eyes were like two bright stars, staring intently at Meng Zheng and the others, as if it wanted to see through them.

"Who are you? Why do I sense the breath of the Ancestral Dragon?" Long Ying's voice echoed in the air, full of majesty and power.

Looking at the flying dragon shadow in front of him, Meng Zheng knew that the highlight was coming. With the dragon clan's investment, he would definitely be noticed once he saw the real dragon clan.

Meng Zheng took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, stepped forward, and said, "I am the patriarch of the Canghai Tribe. I was blessed by the Ancestral Dragon and stumbled into this place unintentionally. I hope to have a chat with you, Senior."

The dragon shadow circled in the air, as if examining Meng Zheng, its bright eyes revealing ancient and profound wisdom.

"Canghai Tribe? Favored by the Ancestral Dragon? Interesting." Long Ying's voice was a little playful. "You have the aura of the Ancestral Dragon. You do have a deep connection with my dragon clan."

Meng Zheng sensed the unquestionable majesty of Long Ying, but he did not retreat. Instead, he replied respectfully, "Senior, please follow me to the Canghai Tribe, and all the answers will become clear."

The dragon's shadow slowly circled in the air, its deep eyes seemed to be able to see through everything in the world.

It looked at Meng Zheng, as if assessing his sincerity and strength.

"Canghai Tribe, our dragon clan has had intersections with many tribes since ancient times, but there are only a few who can truly gain the favor of the Ancestral Dragon. I see that your destiny is like the surging sea and the roar of thousands of dragons. You are indeed an extraordinary person." There was a hint of curiosity and expectation in Long Ying's voice.

Long Ying's words made Meng Zheng feel doubtful.

Does the surging sea and the roaring of thousands of dragons refer to his talent?

Meng Zheng has the favor of the sea and the investment of the dragon clan. Anyone who can see through fate can indeed understand Meng Zheng's talent.

He saluted respectfully and said, "Senior, you have a keen eye."

The dragon circled in the air for a few times, seemingly contemplating something. After a moment, it finally spoke, "Okay, I'll go with you and see what's so special about your Canghai Tribe."

Meng Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly expressed his gratitude.

He turned around and winked at Li Gen and others, indicating that they should prepare to leave.

Just as Meng Zheng and others were about to leave, a group of dragon warriors hurried over from a distance.

Their faces showed tension and anxiety, and it was obvious that they were attracted by the unusual movement that had just occurred.

When they saw Meng Zheng and others and the dragon shadow floating in the air, they all stopped and fell to the ground in panic.

"Lord Shenlong, you are finally awake!" said a particularly tall dragon in the lead.

The Dragonborn warriors lay on the ground, their tone full of awe and surprise, their bodies trembling slightly with excitement.

The dragonborn warrior beside Meng Zheng had already crouched on the ground. Seeing Meng Zheng's gaze, he quickly said, "This is our clan leader."

The dragon figure in the sky tilted its head slightly, scanning the dragonborn warriors with a piercing gaze. Its voice echoed in the air with unquestionable majesty: "I sensed the breath of the Ancestral Dragon, so I woke up. You little guys, are descendants of the Blazing Horned Flame Dragon!

"Yes, Master Shenlong," the tall dragonborn warrior replied respectfully, lying prostrate on the ground. "We are descendants of the Blazing-Horned Flame Dragon. We have been guarding the Dragon Ball here, awaiting your awakening." The dragon's shadow circled in the air several times, seemingly surveying the dragonborn warriors. Its voice echoed through the air, a touch of majesty and emotion. "Blazing-Horned Flame Dragon, it's been a long time since we last met. I once fought alongside your ancestors, together resisting foreign enemies. I never imagined that everything has changed, and only a shadow remains of me."

Hearing Long Ying's words, the dragonborn warriors all showed respect. They knew that this great dragon master not only possessed great power, but also carried the long history and glorious memories of the dragon race.

Meng Zheng stood aside, quietly listening to the conversation between Long Ying and the dragon warriors.

"I am going to leave here and look for the Ancestral Dragon. You should not stay here any longer. Without my protection, this place will completely collapse. Come with me to the Canghai Tribe and I will find a new home for you." Long Ying said to the dragon warrior chief.

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Warrior Chieftain's face showed a complicated expression.

But in the end, he lay on the ground, his voice trembling slightly as he replied, "As you command, Lord Shenlong. We are willing to follow your footsteps, go to the Canghai Tribe, and start a new life."

Other dragonborn warriors also expressed their willingness to follow Lord Shenlong, with hope and longing in their eyes.

Having lived here for who knows how many years, many Dragonborn warriors have long felt bored, but their mission has always kept them from escaping.

Now I can finally step out of the cave and see the outside world.

With Long Ying's decision, the atmosphere in the entire underground palace became relaxed.

The dragonborn warriors stood up from the ground one after another, with expectations and longings for a new life in their eyes.

Meng Zheng looked at these dragon warriors and felt ecstatic. He knew that as long as he arrived at the Canghai tribe, these dragon warriors would become his subordinates.

Meng Zheng was well aware of the strength of these dragon warriors. Even with the strength of Li Gen and others, it took a lot of effort to subdue them. And now it seems that only half of the tribe has been eliminated, and the remaining half has just arrived.

This group of dragon warriors have neither weapons nor equipment, and rely entirely on their physical strength to be comparable to the mermaid shield spearmen. As long as they find the right training method and supplement it with weapons and equipment, they can definitely become another sharp blade of the Canghai tribe.

"Then let's go." The dragon shadow circled in the air before slowly landing beside the altar. Its gaze swept over Meng Zheng and the Dragonborn warriors, and its voice was filled with a hint of majesty and anticipation. "Let's go and see what's so special about this Canghai Tribe."

"I'll lead the way for you, senior!" Meng Zheng took the initiative to say.

The dragon shadow nodded and said slowly, "Okay, let's set off immediately. However, before we leave, I have one more thing to do."

As he spoke, the dragon shadow once again cast his gaze towards the bead on the altar. It slowly flew over to the dragon ball and enveloped it with its massive body. With a flash of brilliant light, the dragon ball gradually shrank, eventually transforming into a small, dragon-shaped jade pendant that landed in the dragon shadow's claws.

"This dragon ball has become one with me and has become the source of my power," Long Ying explained. "But now that the Ancestral Dragon has appeared, I need to bring this dragon ball back to the Dragon Clan's Holy Land to complete my mission."

Upon hearing this, the dragonborn warriors all showed expressions of reluctance.

But they also understand that the Dragon Ball, as the sacred object of the dragon clan, must be better protected and passed on.
