Chapter 1317 - 29: What Kind of God-Tier Plot Twist Is This?_2

The second agreement is the offensive and defensive alliance, based on a mutually beneficial friendly cooperation, to maintain long-term future interests, the two sides formed an offensive and defensive alliance.

As the negotiations concluded.

Everyone in the Wang Family breathed a sigh of relief, filled with joy.

The interests of the Great Wilderness Marsh are immense. Such a vast marsh, once developed, can form a massive chain of planting and breeding industries. The Desolate Swamp Ferocious Crocodile, in particular, is a fierce beast with a very high growth rate. Its drawback is that it is a carnivorous beast, prone to cannibalism and devouring each other.

Typically, humans do not raise carnivorous beasts as a source of spiritual flesh, mainly because the cost of feeding is high, resulting in low cost-effectiveness.

However, the Wang Family, by enclosing the marsh of the Great Wilderness Marsh, can obtain large amounts of cheap land, where specially improved pasture and coarse grains can be planted. Local centralized breeding can be developed to reduce the cost of feed meat.

Moreover, experts in the Divine Power Realm and the Dragon Race’s Grand Elder can intervene to orderly distribute and isolate the chaotic spirit veins in the marsh, forming individual spirit vein nests, so every fierce crocodile has a comfortable "home," reducing losses from cannibalism and devouring.

Releasing fast-growing fish fry and scattering aquatic plant seeds can increase the number of fish, supplementing a considerable portion of the food source for the fierce crocodiles, indirectly reducing costs.

According to the range of fierce crocodile breeding techniques explored by the Development Department, breeding fierce crocodiles is hugely profitable. The larger the scale, the lower the overall cost.

Currently, the canning technology developed by the Wang Family can effectively process and concentrate fierce crocodile meat, greatly extending its shelf life and freshness compared to ancient preservation methods like curing and drying. The canned meat is inevitably more popular with military units and others.

When it is necessary to march and fight, and the troops need to maintain vigorous energy and morale, the spirit meat cans greatly reduce logistical costs and pressure, which is another huge advantage.

Furthermore, fierce crocodile hide can be tanned into excellent crocodile leather. Even leather armor made from Tier Three fierce crocodile hide is excellent equipment for soldiers in the Qi Refining Realm, being lightweight, durable, and strong in protection.

Of course, this cannot compare to the elite Profound Armor of the Profound Armor Army, as the costs are worlds apart. If all ordinary soldiers of Daqian were equipped with fierce crocodile leather armor, the overall combat power could increase by at least thirty percent.

In Wang Shouzhe’s view, the benefits of mass-producing fierce crocodile leather armor far exceed the benefits of adding a National Defense Dao Artifact.

Thus, even though the Wang Family frequently mentioned during negotiations that "this is something we can’t do, better to withdraw from the Great Wilderness Marsh," it was all rhetoric. In reality, the Great Wilderness Marsh is very important to the Wang Family and to Daqian’s future development.

While the members of the Wang Family were secretly rejoicing, Ao Juechen also seemed like a victorious general, with his hands behind his back and his whiskers raised to the sky. During these days of negotiations, he "argued with reason" and often unleashed Dragon Power, finally achieving an advantageous victory from the stubborn negotiating team of the Wang Family.

Negotiating with the Wang Family is exhausting and tremendously challenging.

Ao Juechen felt as if he would lose decades off his lifespan during these days, completely drained, but the results were still joyful for the dragons.

With the cooperation like this, the Primordial Water Cyan Dragon Race only needs to oversee and suppress the fierce crocodile groups slightly, as such creatures behave obediently in the presence of the Dragon Race.

By paying a slight price, the Dragon Race’s future prospects of surpassing 1,000 dragons could become a reality.

When Ao Juechen and other dragons imagined thousands of Primordial Water Cyan Dragons galloping in Long Marsh, their blood boiled and emotions surged.

In short!

This historic cooperation left both sides quite satisfied, akin to dry wood meeting fierce fire, or a maiden encountering a passionate man, quickly advancing to the next theme.

What the Wang Family did not know.

At this moment, a colossal old dragon was coiled in a marsh several miles away.

He deployed the Primordial Water Divine Technique — [Thousand-Mile Primordial Water Mirror], the images of the negotiation scene between the Dragon Race and the Human Race appeared like a live broadcast in front of him on the water-like mirrored surface.

"Good, good, good! Juechen truly lives up to being the sage of our Primordial Water Cyan Dragon Race," the old dragon’s face displayed an expression of comfort and relief, "Managing to secure the greatest benefit from the stingy Human Race."

"From now on, my dragon descendants will grow more and more numerous."

When the words fell.

The old dragon took to the sky, transformed into a human elder in an instant, casually tore open space, and instantly teleported to the negotiation site.

Immense pressure hit the scene.

The ones watching over the venue, Old Yao and the Chi Mei Demon Envoy, were greatly alarmed by the terrifying pressure. Could this be...

"Welcome Ancestor Dragon."

Ao Jiuxiao, Ao Juechen, and Ao Longtian, the three dragons, hurriedly saluted.

Ancestor Dragon? Wang Lilong stopped eating snacks, blinking at the Ancestor Dragon. When she was young and not yet a dragon, she had seen the Ancestor Dragon with other jiaos.

The Ancestor Dragon was very kind to jiaos, regularly hosting gatherings to impart cultivation insights, survival laws, and the glorious past days of the Primordial Water Cyan Dragon Race.

"You child, not bad at all." The Ancestor Dragon also cast its gaze upon Wang Lilong, its eyes soft and appreciative, "So young, and already at the late-stage Seventh Tier, and the future Tier Nine is promising."
