Maybe even they themselves don't know how many cosmic years the Rebel Dragon Tribe has lived in the Caiyun Broken Star Belt.
In these long years, they have had enemies and had wars. But those are too far away from now.
The Rebel Dragon Clan has a long life. Although the average life span is greatly affected by the toxins, compared to the ordinary races in the universe, they still live a long time.
From this point of view, they should know more and be more cunning.
Unfortunately, the environment they live in is too closed, and they do not have any sources of information. Even the beings who want to come and take advantage of them will be deterred by their power, or they will be sneaky.
They are actually abnormal.
Of course, this does not mean that the Dragon Clan is stupid. Although they have reached an agreement with Ye Zhongming to accept employment in exchange for potions, are they really being guided or even seduced by Ye Zhongming?
This is really unlikely.
When they can't produce anything of value, they actually know where their only remaining advantage is, and perhaps they just agreed to take advantage of the situation.
When the specific conditions of employment were discussed next, the viciousness of this gang of dragons was revealed.
"impossible!"
Xuan Xi was almost roaring.
"We are the heads of the various clans of the dragon clan. We have endless things to deal with every day. How can we become mercenaries!? This is an insult to us."
"Forget it, what can you do? Organize a blind date? Or a cooking competition? Or a martial arts competition? What kind of place is it? Every dragon has its own territory. They just eat and wait to die every day. What's the matter?
Do you need to handle it?"
"Fart! Our dragon clan is also a strict race and organization. There are many things every day. You, a guy who is not even at the peak level, know what!"
"More than one million bottles of antidote, you want to give me ten employment quotas? There is no peak master yet. Elder Xuanxi, do you think I am a mentally retarded child? Or a demented fool? There is no peak master level dragon, I
Why did I hire you?"
"Are you looking down on the Dragon Clan? Do you know how rare masters at the peak level are? Do you know what price you have to pay for letting such a being take action once?"
"Are you looking down on me? Do you know if I develop the antidote, how many more years can you old guys live? Isn't this worth more than if I hire a few top experts?"
"How many are you hiring? Before I even tell you the request, you have to hire all the elders of our eight families! You even intend to hire the leader of our Dragon Clan!"
"I want you to pay the price on the spot. You dragons have really been here for too long and don't even understand this. I said to hire ten peak experts. If you don't agree, then just agree to five! It's that simple.
Why are you arguing with me about this matter? Not only did you not give a reasonable amount, but you also directly said that there are no top experts, then I'm sorry, I won't hire you, you can play by yourself!"
"You still want to leave? What do you think this is?"
"Please pay attention to your manners, you are drooling!"
"I kill you!"
"Everything you said is right."
"...You are not allowed to say this!"
Listening to his ancestor roaring at Ye Zhongming, Honghai'er felt that he should stay far away, for fear that his ancestor would give up on him in anger and escape the threat of Ye Zhongming.
"Let's all calm down. In fact, things can always be discussed."
Rang Xi started to make a fool of himself.
"Although we have a large number of dragons, as you can see, our living environment is not very good. The accumulation of toxins will increase over time. This means that the longer we live, the greater the problem of toxicity will be.
Not every dragon can break through to the peak master level. Most of them will always be at the level of hundreds of thousands of Furela. When their progress cannot keep up with the speed of toxin accumulation, they will enter a period of rapid decline.
They will watch themselves burn their lives every day until they die."
"Believe me, if you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't understand this feeling."
"This kind of pressure is on our dragons' heads all the time, even those of us at the peak level. We spend more time every year not practicing, but fighting against the toxins in our bodies.
."
"In this case, you should also know how difficult it is to break through to the top."
Rang Xi almost said this in a low tone, paused, and then said: "Xuan Xi has a bad temper, but one thing is right. We do have many things to do every day. One of them occupies
Most of the time, it’s..."
"We need to constantly remove some toxins for those of our species who have reached the critical point, so that they have a chance to continue to live, and try to give them as much time as possible to practice and fight against the toxins on their own."
"This is an unshirkable responsibility for our peak dragon clan."
"But we ourselves also face this problem, and we have reached the peak, giving us strong suppression of toxins, but it does not eliminate them. On the contrary, they are in our bodies. Even if we never eat again, they will continue to follow us.
Time increases until one day, we can no longer suppress it, and the fierce toxicity will turn us into bones and ashes in a short period of time."
"This is the eternal destination of our peak-level dragon clan."
"So, it's not that we don't want the dragons at the peak level to go out with you, but once a dragon at this level leaves with you, it means that many of the same race will die because they lose the opportunity to remove toxins.
."
Ye Zhongming was a little silent when he heard it.
No wonder the dragons are so anxious to get rid of the toxins in their bodies, no wonder they are willing to believe an outsider like themselves who is here to steal dragon eggs.
No wonder all their elders came together to meet with him and negotiate with a being that was so weak to them.
It turns out that's the case.
It turns out that the dragon clan may be facing a dilemma where many people die every day.
It turns out that their numbers are really just accumulated through their relatively long lives.
If what this elder said is true, then it is hard to imagine what these dragons have endured. If they did not have such a long life... they might have been exterminated long ago.
However, Ye Zhongming really needs a top master to be by his side at all times to protect him. Now is the best opportunity to realize this request.
"I'll go with him." A soft voice floated down from the sky, and a huge sky-blue dragon descended from the sky and landed next to Ye Zhongming and the two dragon clan chiefs.
"You have to make some sacrifices, right?" the new dragon said calmly.
"Chao, Aunt Chaoyang..." Hong Hai'er said hello with a trembling voice.
