Under the Red Dragon

Bang!

Accompanied by the red dragon's maniacal laughter, the life of this great tribe, formed by the union of the two most prosperous elf tribes in this plane, came to an end.

The last War Treant was cleaved from top to bottom by Saha, a dragonborn werewolf clad in heavy armor, with two dragon wings exposed, and a blood-red cloak, his heavy blade precisely revealing the War Treant's heartwood.

The faces on the War Treant's body abruptly vanished, and its massive body crashed to the ground.

All the Imperial Guard warriors also raised their heavy blades high, shouting loudly: "With the blood of our enemies, we consecrate the Holy Temple! With the bones of our enemies, we consecrate the Throne!"

The other warriors also shouted loudly, raising their blood-stained weapons to salute their king and the Holy Temple surrounding him.

"Consecrate the Holy Temple! Long live our Lord! Long live!"

These War Treants were considered powerful and almost unrivaled in this world, and unlike the Tree of Life, they could move freely, so they had almost no natural enemies.

The claws and teeth of those beasts, even ferocious wild beasts, were almost useless against these War Treants, and the War Treants' powerful strength allowed them to easily crush those beasts and enemies with their trunks, with only some exceptionally powerful transcendent magical beasts posing a threat to the War Treants.

These War Treants were also the most powerful and effective war weapons for the elf tribes in this world to dominate the entire plane.

But in front of a group of Imperial Guard warriors wielding heavy blades made of metal, the War Treants' massive size became a burden, and they were gradually killed by the dragonborn werewolf Saha leading the Imperial Guard warriors.

Of the War Treants from the two elf tribes combined, about thirty or so remained, with nearly half of them being entangled and killed by the Imperial Guard warriors.

Although these War Treants had been weakened by toxins developed by the mages, the combat effectiveness of these Imperial Guard warriors was evident.

Under the training of the werewolf Saha, these Imperial Guard warriors had exceptionally clear discipline. After killing the War Treants and venting their emotions, they dragged the corpses of these War Treants together, arranged them neatly, and waited for the dragon to receive them.

These War Treants could also be considered magical creatures, and even their dead bodies had many uses, equivalent to spoils of war.

But these Imperial Guard warriors did not have the slightest desire to plunder them, unlike a certain black dragon who was addicted to gnawing on trees, and was now wandering around the wounded, massive Tree of Life, whose crown had been blown off by a third, revealing his fangs and eager to try.

Clearly, this black dragon had gained some benefits from the Tree of Life when attacking other small tribes. During the time that the black dragon Rosani had entered the Green Wild Forest, his skeletal, gaunt body was gradually becoming fuller, as if his withered flesh and blood had been greatly replenished with life energy.

This vast life energy even changed the black dragon's original fixed path of body growth and evolution, changing this black dragon in another direction.

However, the dragons in the dragon group did not pay too much attention to this change. Every dragon had benefits, and the change only occurred because the black dragon Rosani himself might have conformed to some characteristic.

This kind of mutation was considered a normal change in the eyes of the dragons. Although dragons were not as susceptible to environmental influences and mutated into new subspecies as those dwarves who liked to forge iron, the comprehensiveness of the dragon bloodline also allowed them to evolve in a certain direction they desired.

The black dragon Rosani was obviously influenced by a certain dragon and was also yearning to become a muscular dragon, which led to this change.

Next was the time to receive the spoils of war. Those elves who knelt and surrendered were released by the red dragon. He came to this world to explore the legacy of ancient mages and collect the resources of this world, not to exterminate the life of the world.

So he wanted to use the action of eliminating the two large elf tribes to deter the other elf tribes, and also to isolate the remaining three elf tribes that participated in the attack on the camp.

As long as the chief culprits were beheaded, the remaining elf tribes only needed to be tamed, and they would no longer have to endure war and destruction.

Karon came to the front of the War Treants' bodies at the request of the dragonborn werewolf Saha. The squinting mage also followed. These mages also contributed to this battle, so they also had a share of the spoils.

"Tsk tsk, what a pity. Although the life essence of these War Treants is thick, it has not exceeded the fifteenth rank and entered the Holy Domain. If they had entered the Holy Rank, I could have used the heartwood of these War Treants with some magic potions to create magic potions that prolong life."

The squinting mage showed a regretful expression on his face. He looked at the red dragon, obviously regretting that the most powerful War Treant before had been burned to ashes by the red dragon's dragon breath.

Karon remained noncommittal. In the heat of battle, he could not hold back for the sake of greed, which would only kill his capable warriors.

Only the blue dragon Dos, who had followed, replied to the squinting mage: "Since they are of no value, then you mages don't want the bodies of this batch of War Treants."

The blue dragon Dos, who had always been the housekeeper of the dragon group's territory, was now not driven by the greed of the dragons themselves, but habitually allocated all the good things to the big bowl of the dragon group's territory.

The dragons themselves knew how to use the bodies of these War Treants. As long as the dragons were willing to learn, every dragon could become a knowledgeable scholar.

The squinting mage quickly shook his head so hard that the wind blew. He shouted: "Although the heartwood of these War Treants cannot be used to make magic potions that prolong life, they are one of the best materials for making wands about natural magic, and they are also the favorite wand materials of those druids. You can't monopolize them!"

Karon ignored the mage, turned his head, and looked at the flamboyant blood-red cloak behind the tall werewolf. Even if the dragon liked this style, he felt that this behavior was too prominent on the battlefield.

"Saha, the cloaks behind your Imperial Guard warriors are a bit conspicuous, and may attract more attention and attacks in battle," Karon was very satisfied with the combat effectiveness and discipline of these Imperial Guard warriors, so his tone was quite gentle.

"You are right. This way, the warriors can always see me, and I can always see my warriors! Those enemies who dare to be enemies with you will also be afraid of me because of this!" the tall werewolf replied.

Karon patted the werewolf Saha's shoulder with his thick dragon claw and said nothing more.

But the black dragon Rosani had already squeezed over. He staggered his thick fangs, pointed at the two huge Trees of Life, and asked covetously: "Karon, what should we do with these two big guys now? This is the most important wealth. The value of those elves combined is not as good as these two huge Trees of Life."

These two Trees of Life were too huge. In comparison, the Tree of Life guarded by the group of forest elves that the dragon group had encountered in the main plane's forest was just a sapling.

Several dragons standing under these two huge Trees of Life were like beasts that were only slightly larger in size. In Karon's previous thoughts, he had thought about moving these Trees of Life back to the dragon group's territory to nourish his territory.

But the Tree of Life in front of him was too huge, exceeding Karon's expectations. It also exceeded the transportation capacity of these dragon dependents.

According to what Karon knew, most of the Trees of Life in most planes could not move on their own after growing to a certain extent, unless they used some special spells.

If the Tree of Life was forcibly moved, a certain price would have to be paid. And the theoretical limit of growth for these Trees of Life was to evolve into World Trees and become the fulcrum supporting a plane.

The two Trees of Life in front of him, although they did not seem to have grown to the point where they could not be moved, their huge size could not pass through the plane teleportation gate built by the mages.

Even Karon, who possessed the dragon's inheritance, could not temporarily find a way from his knowledge to allow these two Trees of Life to completely pass through the plane teleportation gate.

Perhaps only those powerful legendary mages could build such a huge plane teleportation gate.

In this way, the value of these Trees of Life to Karon's estimated value was discounted. Although the living Tree of Life could bring long-term benefits to the dragon group by recuperating in this world,

After seeing the traces of the荒神's claws that had invaded this world, Karon did not think that this long-term benefit could be stable, and these two Trees of Life would also take a long time to make up for the consumption of migration.

In a short period of time, it would definitely not be able to bring the expected benefits to the dragon group's territory.

"Why don't we cut down the injured Tree of Life and then transport it in pieces! This Tree of Life has been severely damaged and will take a long time to recover!" the blue dragon butler Dos suggested.

The black dragon Rosani's eyes also lit up. The heartwood of the Tree of Life that had grown to such a huge size was a good thing. For dragons, the abundant life energy could promote their body's development and growth, and it was purer than ordinary flesh and blood energy.

Moreover, the heartwood of the Tree of Life was a top-grade material whether it was used to prepare magic potions that prolong life or to make some powerful magic weapons.

And the effect of the heartwood was better than that of the War Treant that had reached the Holy Rank, after all, the essence of the Tree of Life was far higher than that of the War Treant.

Although not all the heartwood of the Tree of Life had such powerful effects, the Tree of Life in front of him could not be compared to the Tree of Life of those small elf tribes that had been wiped out before. Just looking at its huge body, you could know that its heartwood would definitely work.

The squinting mage Hughes also rubbed his hands excitedly. Magic potions that prolong life had enough appeal to dragons, which were long-lived species, but they were far less tempting to these short-lived species.

A bottle of magic potion that prolongs life would even make some legendary powerhouses tempted. If Karon was strong enough, he could even use these things to recruit some old monsters hidden in the corners of the world.

After all, this kind of magic potion had no side effects, which was difficult to compare with the various side effects of some legendary powerhouses' life-extending methods.

Not to mention those dragons and mages who were willing to transform themselves into liches, even life-extending methods with fewer side effects could turn a legend into a person who was neither human nor ghost under the long-term effect. Many legendary mages had become mad mages because of these side effects.

If Karon took out this kind of magic potion, even those metal dragons who were difficult to cross the ancient dragon barrier would have a friendly heart towards Karon and the dragon group because of this.

Karon was also moved by this, and his eyes were measuring and looking at the injured Tree of Life.

At this moment, the damaged Tree of Life suddenly shook its leaves and shot down several green and crystal-clear rays of light from its body, illuminating an elf who had been cut off his legs and was dying on the ground.

Karon and the others did not move. Although they were vigilant, they were not panicked. They all knew that the Tree of Life itself did not have any attack power, otherwise it would not have relied on elves and War Treants as guardians.

The elf warrior who had been cut off his legs and seemed to be stepping into death in the next moment suddenly recovered his breath, as if a pair of big hands were lifting him up from behind and slowly rising into the air.

The elf warrior's original fluorescent green eyes also turned into a mixed white, and the voice he spoke was a bit hollow and rigid, not the voice of a living person.

"Dragon, I am willing to submit to you, can you spare me!"

The thorns on Karon's cheeks twisted slightly. He grinned, revealing his thick fangs, and laughed without concealing the malice in his heart: "It seems that you have given birth to unusual wisdom, then, convince me, prove that your existence is valuable enough to me, more than the value of your body!"

"I don't know your definition of value, dragon, can you give me some tips!" The consciousness of the Tree of Life was silent for a moment, and then spoke again.

"It depends on what you can do for me, such as your heartwood, I can use it to make magic potions that prolong life, enhance my strength, or make powerful weapons, maybe even legendary weapons," Karon revealed all his malice. Although the other party had given birth to wisdom, in Karon's eyes, it was just a cargo to be evaluated.

The consciousness of the Tree of Life felt the existence of this malice, and its hollow voice actually showed some urgency, "Living in the range I affect can absorb the life aura I naturally release, which can enhance strength and physique."

Karon shook his head, "I can't live in this world for a long time, and my people can't move here because of this, you'd better come up with a more valuable ability."

The words of the Tree of Life's consciousness became more urgent, and its original rigid words also became more vivid. It hurriedly said: "I can also temporarily stop growing and fully gather the life aura in the world to condense the water of life,"

"Long-term consumption of this water of life can not only improve physical fitness, but also prolong life, and also allow some lives with low fertility or even those who have lost fertility due to age to give birth to offspring,"

"The spring of life that I fully condense every year is enough for dozens of elves to conceive offspring, even dragons, if they lose their fertility, as long as they get enough spring of life, they can also conceive offspring again."

The dragons and mages present were all slightly moved.

Those dragons who had lost their fertility were all powerful ancient dragons. Being able to allow these powerful existences to conceive offspring again, the function of the water of life can also be called powerful.

And the mages thought of more operations. The squinting mage even thought of exchanging some spring of life for the friendship of some powerful existences. It would be even better if he could cultivate the offspring of those powerful existences into his partners.

However, the decision on this matter wasn't in the mage's hands; to obtain a sufficient amount of the Spring of Life depended on Caron's opinion.

Despite being surprised by the effects of the Spring of Life, Caron still shook his head and said, "Not enough. These two points are useless to me right now."

The Life Tree's consciousness choked. If it weren't afraid that the red dragon would immediately chop it down, it probably would have roared, "Stop interrupting me!"

But it still struggled for its little life, "I can bear fruit. As long as I condense all the life force used for growth and development, I can bear fruit full of life force periodically. Consuming it will increase your lifespan."

"The longer the time, the better the effect. If the fruit takes three years to bear, it will only increase your lifespan by one year. If it takes five years, it will increase your lifespan by two years. If it takes more than ten years, then the lifespan increase will be approximately equal to the time it took to bear the fruit!"

At this moment, all the dragons, including the mage, were moved, and the mages gathered around were even more eager.

Among these mages were those with outstanding talent like Hughes, who entered the high-level mage realm at a young age, only one step away from the Sanctuary.

But more of them were mages who exchanged time for magical knowledge and increased power. Although these mages' talents were also quite outstanding compared to ordinary people, no one was sure whether they could step into the threshold of the Sanctuary before their lifespan ran out.

Therefore, they paid special attention to and valued things that could extend their lifespan. Some high-level mages had even secretly resolved in their hearts to contact the dragons after returning, to see if they could exchange their loyalty for a chance to obtain a Life Fruit, or even just the Spring of Life.

However, the performance of these mages misled the forbidden army warriors who were guarding Caron, and they approached one by one, tightly surrounding these mages, and slightly raised the heavy blades in their hands.

Caron shook his head and quickly signaled these forbidden army warriors to relax.

The Life Tree's fruit, a legendary treasure, even the dragons had never seen it. Perhaps only a few dragon gods had seen this kind of thing with their own eyes.

On the one hand, the Life Tree cannot bear this kind of fruit with heaven-defying effect unless it grows to a certain extent. Even if it does, it will be collected by the elves guarding the Life Tree at the first time.

On the other hand, it is also because dragons and other creatures have always found it difficult to spy on the elven settlements that possess this kind of Life Tree.

Dragons have dragon gods, and other races also have race gods. The elven race is not a weak race either, with its own race god system.

Moreover, compared to the dragon god system, which is never harmonious, two-faced, and scheming against each other, the elven god system is more powerful and united.

So this legendary treasure has almost been forgotten by people, only thought to be as absurd as the stories in mortals' mouths.

Just because of this, Caron had already decided to spare this Life Tree. Dragons can afford to wait a few years. Once the Life Fruit is harvested, it will also become a kind of heritage in the dragon group's territory.

But the Life Tree's surprise continued, it said, "The new branches I grow every year contain a rich natural aura, which can be used to make staffs that release shaman magic and divine arts and spells related to life and nature. They have a very strong enhancement effect on these magics, maybe this is very useful for the spellcasters under you!"

"This is good," Caron nodded. With such accumulation over the years, he might be able to have a spellcaster legion in the future, with each person holding a staff made of Life Tree branches. Just looking at the equipment of such a spellcaster legion makes people feel terrified and luxurious.

Moreover, this can also attract some druids and related mages to the territory. The attraction of this level of magic equipment is strong enough, and this can also become one of the selling points of the dragon group's territory in the future.

"Also, dragon, I will fully cooperate with you in the future, providing blessings and blessings for your walking in the forest. Your warriors can be unimpeded within the range of my influence, and I will also actively persuade other Life Trees not to resist your will!"

The Life Tree said in a muffled voice, having decided to be a traitor for its own little life.

Caron finally showed a satisfied smile. He patted the Life Tree's trunk and said with a smile, "Very good, your wisdom and obedience have won you the future. I hope that all future Life Trees will take you as an example!"

"Thank you for your tolerance, Your Excellency Dragon," the Life Tree's consciousness finally became joyful, and its tone became lighter.

"So, have you produced any Life Fruits over the years," Caron revealed his greedy eyes. Future benefits are future benefits, and current benefits are current benefits. Caron never leaves empty-handed!

"No, these elves only need the Spring of Life, they are not enough for me to spend my own growth time to condense the Life Fruit," the Life Tree replied in a muffled voice.

Then it changed its tone and said, "But if Your Excellency Dragon needs it, there is one now."

The Life Tree's body began to tremble, and countless life auras gathered from its trunk, and finally condensed in the depths of the somewhat bald canopy. A fruit blooming with a bright green light jumped out between the branches and green leaves.

This fruit was full and fragrant, exuding a faint smell similar to green grass after rain. Just the slightest smell that came with the wind made these warriors and mages who had experienced battles feel refreshed.

That represents life!

Whoosh, Caron spread his wings and flew to the canopy, swallowing this Life Fruit into his storage stomach. Looking back, night had already begun to fall.

The warriors under those dragons had already begun to clean up the battlefield and set up camp in an orderly manner.

These warriors, after the baptism of blood, had gradually condensed a certain legion will, which was completely different from ordinary monster legions.

They will be the most solid foundation in the dragon's territory, and also the most powerful battle group in the dragon's future kingdom.

Caron smiled and showed his fangs, and the other dragons followed him and flapped their wings to fly to the blood-colored sanctuary in the sky. The souls there had rested, and the dragons were about to enter rest as well.

The camp gradually became quiet. This is their first base, but not the last!
