Chapter 972 Participating in the War
Chapter 972 Participating in the War
The dragon clan is very proud. Even if the red-scaled dragon clan is a sub-dragon, it is still a dragon clan.
In fact, real dragons were born within the Red Scaled Flood Dragon Clan, and there were thousands of golden dragons. This was the real dragon clan.
It’s a pity that a series of recent events have greatly reduced the arrogance of the Red Scaled Dragon Clan.
The most important thing is that his ancestor was ambushed by the cultivators of Xianyun Palace and was seriously injured, or half dead; and several masters around the ancestor were also killed or injured.
If the ancestor had not been seriously injured, the proud Red Scale Dragon Clan would not have gone to the Shenglong Palace for "help".
What brought down the arrogance of the Red Scaled Flood Dragon Clan was not only the serious injury to the ancestor, but that could only be considered the final sprint; before that, the Red Scaled Flood Dragon Clan had already suffered serious damage in the battle with the Xianyun Palace.
That is why Chiyan Zuanfeng decided today to suspend the negotiations and focus all his efforts on dealing with the challenge from Xianyun Palace.
But the question is, is it necessary to use Chiyan Zuanfeng for a simple notification?
So Jiang Hong opened his mouth and said "just a cultivator", which blocked Chi Yan Zuanfeng from saying anything.
You dragons are very proud, so keep on being so. Never bow your heads, or your crown will fall off.
Chu Fei watched coldly from the side. In fact, Chu Fei did not react at first to what Chi Yan Zuan Feng was doing, but when he heard Jiang Hong's words and saw Jiang Hong's expression, Chu Fei reacted.
It’s not that Chu Fei is stupid, it’s just that Chu Fei really didn’t care much about political affairs in the past and was too lazy to pay attention to them.
This Chiyan Zuanfeng was obviously asking for help. The delegation sent by Shenglong Palace this time was not simple. This kind of delegation that came across billions of kilometers to visit was itself a "war group".
Not to mention Chu Fei and hundreds of other young elites, Jiang Hong himself is also a master in the early 19.0 stage, equivalent to the middle and late stages of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon. Considering the unique combat system of the Shenglong Palace, it can play a huge role on the battlefield.
But the problem is, we haven't even signed an agreement, why should we fight for you? I can only say that you think too much.
But behind all the overthinking, we can actually analyze the characteristics of the dragon race - arrogance, pride, and pride. I am a dragon race, I have already begged you, what else do you want!
Unfortunately, the status between Shenglong Palace and the Red Scaled Dragon Clan has now been reversed.
The Shenglong Palace captured a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage alive, and on the Jinguan District continent, it beat the Xianyun Palace half to death in one breath. The Xianyun Palace's rash counterattack wiped out five to six thousand of its own top cultivators. The Shenglong Palace has become invincible.
Before negotiating with the Red Scaled Dragon Clan, Shenglong Palace expressed "goodwill" to Xianyun Palace, expressing its willingness to negotiate, and since everyone is human, there is great room for cooperation.
On the contrary, here, in this Red Flame Continent, the power of the Xianyun Palace is very strong. Instead, the Red Scale Dragon Clan was beaten and had to bow their heads and ask for help.
Now that Xianyun Palace knows the war situation in the Golden Light Continent, if they want to reverse the situation, they must fight with their backs against the wall. In this situation, the pressure on the Red Scaled Flood Dragon Clan is beyond imagination.
Let me put it this way, the life and death of our own ancestor who has transcended the tribulation is unknown, so the ancestor of your Red Scaled Dragon Clan must also die before we can feel at ease!
In this situation, even if Xianyun Palace failed in this final struggle, it would still cause great trauma to the Red Scale Flood Dragon Clan. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, once the Red Scale Flood Dragon Clan is seriously injured, the consequences will be disastrous.
Not to mention that since Xianyun Palace dared to fight back, it must be confident of victory.
In just a blink of an eye, Chu Fei had finished thinking about the situation of the Red Scaled Dragon Clan and the current situation of the Shenglong Palace. Finally, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Chiyan Zuanfeng quietly, wanting to see how the other party would continue to speak.
Chi Yan Zuan Feng was silent for a while, and finally spoke: "Minister Jiang, the counterattack of Xianyun Palace this time is very fierce. I think the defense of Xianyun Palace in your Jinguan District must be empty. This is a good opportunity to attack."
Jiang Hong smiled, "Sorry, even if I send a message to the rear now, according to the time of the Dragon Year, it will take at least twenty days for the message to be received. Before that, I can't make an effective judgment."
A chance to fight back? Do we need it? Shenglong Palace is now in a position to say no!
Jiang Hong's meaning was very clear - delay! See who gets anxious first!
When it comes to negotiation, if you’re anxious you lose.
According to the calendar of the Year of the Dragon, a decade is ten days and a day is more than two hundred hours. According to the Yanhuang calendar, two decades is about two-thirds of a year, or at least half a year.
Wars in the other world are usually fought between masters, and the main tactics used in the duels between masters are decapitation tactics. In extreme cases, life and death can be decided in a few minutes. After more than half a year, everything is cold.
Think about the last time the masters of Xianyun Palace counterattacked Shenglong Palace. A war involving two huge forces and more than 20 trillion people ended in just a few days.
So Jiang Hong’s attitude is equivalent to saying: I don’t listen, I don’t care, I just want to watch the show.
Now the negotiations between the two sides have not yielded any results. You come here to ask for help with empty words. Who gives you the face? There is still a chance to attack. We have all started to negotiate with Xianyun Palace.
As for Chu Fei, although Chu Fei did not speak, he had already thought about all this clearly.
Judging from the current situation, the Shenglong Palace could just walk away without negotiating. The ones who are anxious now are the Red Scaled Flood Dragon Clan.
Chiyan Zuanfeng's face looked ugly, so ugly that it was difficult for him to perfectly maintain a "human face", and fine scales were faintly visible on the surface.
Chu Fei found it interesting. The dragon race and the "battle body" of powerful non-human life were very interesting changes. The huge body became human-sized. Although the density increased a lot, the changes were still worth studying.
However, only a very small number of advanced life forms can master this ability. These lives are relatively "noble" and have a great influence. The Shenglong Palace does not dare to capture them for experiments.
At present, Shenglong Palace is still in the stage of being a good boy.
But as a researcher, Chu Fei was very eager. It would be great if he could dissect and study it himself, which would be of great significance to the improvement of the "supermanifold" theory.
For a moment, there was a hint of greed in Chu Fei's eyes when he looked at Chi Yan Zuan Feng.
As an expert, Chi Yan Zuan Feng felt Chu Fei's gaze at the first moment, but he didn't think much about it and just thought that he had made a fool of himself accidentally, which made Chi Yan Zuan Feng even angrier.
Gritting his teeth, Chiyan Zuanfeng suddenly sighed, "Okay, now we need support."
Jiang Hong suddenly became serious, with a righteous look on his face: "Oh, so that's how it is. Sorry, sorry, I didn't realize it for a moment. I thought it was just about the postponement of the negotiations."
Chu Fei saw Chi Yan Zuan Feng clench his fists, and his fingertips changed slightly, turning into sharp eagle claws. It seemed that he couldn't help it. His fingers drew a few grooves on the table, and there was a slight energy surge, and the wood chips turned into flying ash.
Chu Fei found it interesting: So what if they are from the Dragon Clan? You have to bear it even if you can’t help it. You are here to ask for help!
Jiang Hong still looked righteous, "As long as the Red Scaled Flood Dragon Clan needs us, we will do our best. I wonder where we... um... young people can be used?"
While speaking, he glanced at Chu Fei and others.
Young man, this is the hope of our Shenglong Palace. What price are you willing to pay?
Chiyan Zuanfeng took several deep breaths, but his expression gradually calmed down. It can be seen that Chiyan Zuanfeng, who was sent out as an envoy, was considered a "man of current affairs" among the dragons.
Chu Fei watched calmly, and was curious about what Chi Yan Zuan Feng would say and what conditions he would offer.
Then Chi Yan Zuan Feng said slowly: "This time, Xianyun Palace attacked us with all its elite troops. If possible, we hope that Shenglong Palace will immediately launch an offensive in the Jinguang District to delay the Xianyun Palace's masters."
Jiang Hong frowned slightly. Seeing the dragon clan being so arrogant, he didn't play any more word games and went straight to the point:
"Dear Dragon Envoy, I can now tell you very clearly that whether we send troops to attack Xianyun Palace is not up to me. We in Shenglong Palace have a complete strategic department and will consider it comprehensively.
Moreover, it is too late to pass the message to Shenglong Palace now. By the time the message is delivered, the war here will be over.
The only thing we can do now is to send our people to the battlefield. But we will not participate in the war, we can help you rescue the wounded, help you analyze the war, etc.
When it comes to treating the wounded and analyzing war situations, our Shenglong Temple is not only among the best, but we can also say that we are unique.
But these are our most elite young people, and they are related to Shenglong Palace's development plan for the next thousand years. Going to the battlefield is dangerous.
I need you to give me a reason to go to the battlefield!"
Chi Yan Zuan Feng pondered. Sometimes this kind of straightforward negotiation is the most difficult. I'm making my intentions clear, and it depends on what conditions you can offer.
Of course, Jiang Hong dares to be so tough because he has the confidence.
Chu Fei and the others didn't say anything either. They just sat around and observed, waited, and thought quietly.
This was an ice-breaking negotiation. If it succeeded, it would be gratifying, but if it failed, it would not matter. Regardless of success or failure, it was a huge inspiration for "young people" like Chu Fei, and it opened their eyes to the world.
In the silence, Chiyan Zuanfeng spoke up, "We can agree to the second condition."
Jiang Hong shook his head slightly: "That is an equal treaty. I don't think this can be used as a condition."
Sending envoys to each other to participate in legal trials in foreign countries is an equal condition, at least it seems so.
If Ye Lin had challenged Chu Fei before, Chu Fei or Jiang Hong might have considered it. But now, you've come to ask for help, and you still want this condition, what are you thinking about.
Jiang Hong is not in a hurry. At worst, they can just break up!
In fact, Jiang Hong felt that since Xianyun Palace had launched a general attack on the Red Scaled Dragon Clan, Shenglong Palace and Xianyun Palace must have already reached peace talks on the Jinguan District continent.
Judging from the current situation of Shenglong Palace, it would be good to cooperate with the Red Scaled Flood Dragon Clan, but it would not have any impact if they did not cooperate. It was because they were too far away. It was true that they should make friends with people far away and attack those near, but if the one-way trip took two months, it was too far.
Chiyan Zuanfeng's face seemed to turn red, and he didn't know if it was because he was holding it in or something else. But he finally spoke again: "The tariff you mentioned before can be reduced by 1%!"
"10%!" Jiang Hong opened his mouth loudly.
Chiyan Zuanfeng's face turned even redder, and his voice was trembling and low: "Don't go too far!"
Although the dragon clan is arrogant, business is now booming in the entire Xuanlong Domain, and Chiyan Zuanfeng certainly knows what a 10% tariff concession means.
This is not just a matter of interests, but also about the face of the dragon clan. Sometimes, face is more important than anything else!
Jiang Hong pondered for a while, and finally said: "2.4%!"
"Okay!" Chi Yan Zuan Feng gritted his teeth and nodded.
Chu Fei watched silently. A 2.4% tariff concession may not seem like much, but with a little manipulation, it would be enough to bring about earth-shaking changes.
For example, let's take the widely used black iron as an example. If the terminal price of Shenglong Temple's black iron is the same as that of other companies, but the 2.4% tariff profit is given to dealers, what do you think dealers will do? It's simple. They will vote with their feet and strongly recommend the sale of Shenglong Temple's black iron!
A profit of 2.4% may not seem like much, but the net profit of many wholesalers for a single transaction may be less than 2%, or even lower.
The same goes for black iron and other cultivation resources.
In addition, many of Shenglong Palace’s resources, whether it is black iron or medicinal materials, are mostly industrially produced, and the cost is very low.
The Shenglong Palace does not need to find a new way. It only needs to optimize the materials available on the market and then it can dump the market of the Red Scaled Dragon Clan at a low price.
However, Jiang Hong was also straightforward. After the conditions were agreed upon, he immediately took Chi Yan Zuan Feng to understand the situation and immediately formulated a strategy - take all personnel to the battlefield, set up a temporary field hospital, and be responsible for giving advice.
After seeing off Chi Yan Zuan Feng and agreeing to set off tomorrow, Jiang Hong called Chu Fei and the others over:
"Everyone, remember what I'm going to say next. We are going to the battlefield. Although it is logistical, the danger is still great.
Moreover, when we are really on the battlefield, whether or not to participate in the battle is not up to us. On a real battlefield, especially a battlefield for experts, there is no such thing as rear-end or logistics.
I also know that some people are dissatisfied, but now all the dissatisfaction is put away. If Shenglongdian wants to go out, some things must be tried.
You need to be careful when you are on the battlefield. The most dangerous hidden hand may be the one secretly attacking from within the dragon clan. Don't think of the dragon clan as stupid, big, rough and black idiots. The dragon clan can become the overlord of a region, relying on more than just muscles.
At the same time, this is also an opportunity, a good opportunity to observe the battles between dragons, cultivators, and traditional battles, which is crucial to your future growth.
Starting this year, Shenglong Temple will go global, and we need to have an international vision, or a star-level vision.
Finally, when rescuing Jin Long, try your best to collect data, as this opportunity is rare.
But please note that we are only collecting data, don't try to do anything like slicing or collecting blood, etc. This is a big taboo!
Reputation and honor are the greatest wealth of Shenglong Temple and the foundation on which we survive.”
Everyone nodded.
Chu Fei's eyes brightened up. It was like a pillow was given to him just when he was sleepy. Just when he wanted to study the changes in the dragon clan's combat body, such a good opportunity came up.
In addition, watching the battles between top dragons and cultivators up close is also crucial for Chu Fei.
After arriving in the inner world, Chu Fei's realm was still at the primary level 16.0, and the skills he used were still deduced from the outer world.
Chu Fei had been working on the inner world's skills for more than 20 years, but he was still not satisfied. Considering the strangeness of the "God" realm, Chu Fei did not dare to act recklessly.
Perhaps, this is also a good opportunity to think about the practice.
At this time Jiang Hong asked everyone to sign up. This "support" was divided into two parts: staff and medical.
Chu Fei was the first to speak, "Minister Jiang, I want to go as a staff advisor, but I also want to participate in the treatment."
Jiang Hong nodded slightly, "Reason?"
Chu Fei: "Medical treatment is the best opportunity to contact the real dragon race and collect data. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to encounter this store again. As a staff officer, you can see the most traditional way of fighting in this world, which is conducive to thinking about the future of Shenglong Palace.
And I can create clones. For the staff, a simple clone is enough, and it doesn’t need much combat power.”
Jiang Hong nodded again and said slowly: "The staff officer can actually watch the video record later."
"It's good to be able to read after the fact, but only those who have participated in it in person can have a deeper impression. As the saying goes, those who are involved are often confused. Just like this, if we can understand the traditional war in the mystery, it will be of great significance."
"Okay." Jiang Hong nodded.
Others also signed up, but not many could split themselves. Most of those who wanted to participate in both sides could only run between the two.
The clone is not simple. For big data cultivation, after 16.0, if you just want to make a simple clone, it is not a big problem. But if you want this clone to be smart enough, it is more troublesome and requires a lot of time and energy.
Most of the young elites at the scene wanted to sprint to a higher level and had no intention or need to create clones.
Chu Fei practiced and thought silently all night. At dawn the next day, Chiyan Zuanfeng came again and revealed his true form. A five-clawed golden dragon more than 20 kilometers long rose into the sky and took Jiang Hong, Chu Fei and others straight to the front line.
The front-line battle has begun, but it is still in the exploratory stage.
In less than two hours, Chi Yan Zuan Feng led Chu Fei and others across a million kilometers and arrived at the front line.
From a distance, Chu Fei saw thunderclouds stretching for hundreds of kilometers in the distant sky colliding, lightning tearing through the sky, and the earth trembling in the collision of the strong. The storm generated by the collision swept across dozens or hundreds of kilometers, and shock waves superimposed on each other. The earth was covered with flying dust, and the mountains continued to crack and collapse.
A scene of doom.
Chu Fei was stunned. If such a war happened on Earth, the entire world could be easily destroyed countless times - not the surface destruction, but the kind of crustal collapse.
Those thunderclouds were not laws, but the aftermath of battles. Every time the strong men collided, they could release tens or even hundreds of grams of pure energy. Such huge amounts of energy were also constrained into sword energy, spells, and even magical powers that carried laws, and their destructive power reached its limit.
And such a battle is just "foreplay"!
Chi Yan Zuan Feng led Chu Fei and his group straight to the back of the golden dragon and could feel the tragic aura from a distance.
Chu Fei saw a golden dragon, the back half of its body disappeared, leaving only the front half lying on the ground trembling. Only half of the dragon was left, still more than 200 meters long, and every time it trembled, the surrounding mountains collapsed. There was a golden dragon in the sky that was responsible for the treatment, but the effect did not seem to be very good.
As for the injured dragons, there were even more.
No matter whether it is a Jiaolong or a golden dragon, the dragon family is huge in size, and the injured ones can only be left "out in the open" like this.
There were healing dragons flying around in the sky, casting light, but not many of them could recover their combat effectiveness as quickly as possible.
Seeing this, Chu Fei was thoughtful. Chu Fei knew before that the dragon race was strong and difficult to be seriously injured; but everything is relative, and a strong body means that once injured, it is difficult to recover.
Chi Yan Zuan Feng brought Chu Fei and his party to a simple camp and transformed himself into a combat form.
In this camp, everyone saw Lieyang Jinjue transformed into a combat form, but at this time Lieyang Jinjue had a solemn expression on his face.
Seeing the people from Shenglong Palace, Lieyang Jinjue expressed his gratitude and invited some of them to participate in the discussion of strategy, while the rest went to the medical emergency department.
Then Chu Fei and a few others took out a "self" from the storage space and left it behind.
Lieyang Jinjue blinked, then suddenly realized, "Your cultivation method is really... strange!"
Although Chu Fei and a few others had demonstrated the art of clones in previous battles, it still felt a little weird to see a clone being taken out from the storage space at this time.
Jiang Hong smiled and said, "The staff officer doesn't need much combat power, the clone is enough. The main body will go for medical emergency."
A "dragon" took Chu Fei and others to the medical emergency department, and asked Chu Fei and others about their specialties on the way.
The medical emergency needs of the dragon clan now include refining medicine, surgical operations, restoring supernatural powers, mental or soul soothing, energy replenishment, etc.
The "dragon" leading the way kept introducing the group, but seemed to be somewhat suspicious of Chu Fei and his party. However, because the situation was bad, he had to hold his nose and temporarily accept Chu Fei and the other "people".
Chu Fei walked in front and said with a smile: "Don't worry, our cultivation system is similar to that of cultivation, and it can be considered as comprehensive development."
The others nodded slightly, said nothing, and just followed Chu Fei silently.
Unknowingly, Chu Fei had become the leader of the young people.
When we arrived at the medical department, we naturally had to verify the medical expertise of Chu Fei and others.
The situation on the scene was tense, and the so-called inspection was to get right down to it and start the "test" with the low-level dragons.
Some choose to refine potions, some choose simple wound repair, and some try to soothe the mind or soul. Every elite has his or her own "medical skills".
Chu Fei observed for a while and chose "surgical treatment".
After a while, Chu Fei stood in front of a hundred-meter-long dragon. The diameter of the dragon's chest and abdomen could reach six meters. The dragon was estimated to have a cultivation level of half a step to 16.0. A horrific wound tore the dragon's back.
The wound was more than thirty meters long, running diagonally from the dragon's back down through the abdomen to the left hind leg; the deepest part tore the ribs, and the ruptured internal organs could be seen; the wound was so big that thirty or forty Chu Feis could be stuffed in.
But the most serious injury was on the back, and the spine seemed to be severely damaged.
However, what made Chu Fei most alert was the "sword energy" hovering over the wound. This sword energy was constantly destroying the flesh and blood of the dragon's wound.
Fortunately, the dragon was temporarily sealed by a "sealing" method. It can be seen that the seal interfered with the sword energy, and the sword energy was dissipating bit by bit.
The dragon is trying its best to fight against the sword energy, but the situation is not good. Chu Fei can feel the dragon's weakness.
So, how should such a dragon be rescued?
Chu Fei stood in front of the dragon and thought. (End of this chapter)
