Protect Our Chief
Chapter 803 - 12: Subduing the Cyan Flood Dragon! Liyao Joins the Mortal World
...
The convenience of transportation has greatly reduced the distance between regions.
From Beihai Bay’s Qingluo Guard, back to Zhenze Guard of Longzuo County’s Six Southern Guards, Wang Shouzhe and Liu Ruolan took a private flying chariot, and it only took a mere two and a half days.
If it were in the past, this journey would require first taking a sea ship and then switching to land routes; it would take at least ten days to half a month to complete.
However, purchasing a private flying chariot itself is exorbitantly expensive. Add to that the long-term costs of raising spiritual birds, maintaining the cabin, and hiring chariot drivers, and over time, the expenditure is truly enormous.
Therefore, most patriarchs or ancestors of Sixth-Grade Noble Families can only envy private flying chariots. When it comes to actually acquiring one, they are reluctant.
In contrast, although the Wang Family is also Sixth-Grade, even the portion they display publicly far exceeds that of ordinary Sixth-Grade Noble Families. Moreover, the true heritage of the Wang Family is much more than that, which outsiders cannot possibly know except for the true key figures of the Wang Family.
Desolate Marsh, Hulu Port.
Under the Wang Family’s speed, the flood protection dike and sluice gates have basically taken shape, and the number of Water Dragon Vehicles has almost doubled.
The large Water Dragon Vehicles roared, with water pouring out, as water from the marsh bubbles was continuously pumped outside Hulu Port.
The two Celestial Human Ancestors from the Waang Family personally connected the barriers between the bubbles, allowing the water to flow downwards, all towards Hulu Port.
In the Desolate Marsh, the standing water accumulated in bubbles during the dry season is rapidly decreasing.
It must be acknowledged that the strength of Celestial Human Realm cultivators is formidable, their physical prowess extraordinary; if they set aside their status and work, their efficiency is completely comparable to the multifunctional large engineering machinery, and much more flexible and adaptable.
At this moment, a clear cry from an Immortal Crane echoed in the sky, as Wang Shouzhe’s private flying chariot circled and descended, coming to a slow stop atop the dike.
Seeing this, Ancestor Kunyuan and Ancestor Chengye of the Waang Family hurried forward to greet him: "Welcome, Patriarch Shouzhe."
"No need for such formalities, esteemed ancestors." Wang Shouzhe lifted the carriage curtain and elegantly stepped out into the air, smiling: "Seeing the joy on your faces, have you encountered something good?"
Ancestor Kunyuan stroked his beard and laughed: "Indeed, Patriarch Shouzhe has keen eyesight. Unexpectedly, after this drainage, there turned out to be so many good things in the Desolate Marsh."
"Just over the past few days, our Waang Family’s search teams picked up more than a hundred thousand catties of fish, including Tier One and Tier Two Spirit Fish, as well as Spirit Clams with Spirit Pearls and so on."
"The harvest of Aquatic Spirit Grass and Spiritual Medicine has also been plentiful. Yesterday, that young fellow Chengye found a Tier Four Four-Color Water Lotus. At the depths of the water, multiple Spirit Veins were discovered as well."
"Rest assured, Patriarch Shouzhe, we Waang Family will definitely not hoard all these gains. After all, without the Wang Family’s dike construction and Water Dragon Array setup, these gains wouldn’t have been possible. Once the accounts are settled, our Waang Family will take only thirty percent."
No wonder they are so happy.
This water drainage and Jiao hunting operation has already yielded gains worth at least tens of thousands of Qian Gold, even before catching the Jiao. The subsequent gains are likely to be even more abundant.
Currently, the Waang Family faces significant economic pressure, and these nearly cost-free gains are simply a timely rain for them.
"The Great Wilderness Marsh after all is the Waang Family’s territory; thirty percent is too little, let’s make it forty percent." Wang Shouzhe smiled, casually giving the Waang Family an additional ten percent, and then reminded, "Additionally, let’s not exhaust the marsh by overfishing, and leave some space for various Spiritual Objects to thrive. Once the Primordial Water Cyan Flood Dragon is dealt with, we will refill the marsh to maintain the ecological environment of the Desolate Marsh."
Having experienced life on Earth, Wang Shouzhe knew that excessive environmental destruction brings a series of adverse effects. The existence of ecological environments like the Desolate Marsh is very much necessary.
"Yes, Patriarch Shouzhe." The two ancestors of the Waang Family quickly collected their smiles and promised, "We will definitely carry out your command."
After the Primordial Water Cyan Flood Dragon matter, and having heard about Wang Shouzhe’s development plans for the Great Wilderness Marsh, the two ancestors have now become thoroughly convinced, with heartfelt allegiance to the Wang Family, completely adopting an attitude of following Patriarch Shouzhe’s lead.
Seeing them so sensible, Wang Shouzhe felt very gratified.
After all, the Great Wilderness Marsh is considered the Waang Family’s territory; the subsequent development of the Great Wilderness Marsh is bound to require cooperation with the Waang Family. If these two don’t understand the situation clearly, it could be a headache.
"How is the Primordial Water Cyan Flood Dragon situation?" he casually asked. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
This time, such a big operation was primarily focused on that Primordial Water Cyan Flood Dragon. The Cyan Flood Dragon about to transform into a dragon is a treasure in itself, with its flesh and blood rich in Spiritual Qi, highly valuable for consumption, and its scale armor, claws, bones, and dragon blood are all very valuable.
Previously, the Wang Family had only hunted one Tier Six Ferocious Beast, making a significant profit. That was only at the initial stage of Tier Six, not yet at its peak; this Primordial Water Cyan Flood Dragon is about to transform into a dragon, making it even more valuable.
"Hiding in the largest marsh bubble, Ancestor Fire Fox is watching it closely." Wang Kuyuan said, "Although the bubble is deep, it won’t take many days before the Primordial Water Cyan Flood Dragon can no longer hide."
Saying this, Wang Kuyuan led Wang Shouzhe flying towards the large marsh bubble where the Primordial Water Cyan Flood Dragon was hiding.
"Brother Shouzhe~~"
As soon as they arrived, a petite and exquisite Fire Fox shot out like flame-colored lightning and flew into Wang Shouzhe’s arms.
