Under the Red Dragon

Dawn was approaching, and the rising sun had already faintly revealed its rosy glow on the horizon.

Although Karon had stopped the dragon fire, which grew increasingly terrifying as the dragon matured, after these gnolls submitted to the dragon's feet, the entire grassland in these hills was turned into wasteland by the red dragon.

The dead monsters were also burned to ashes by the dragon fire, waiting for rebirth in the coming year along with the green life buried deep under the yellow earth.

For Karon, these intelligent gnolls, trained with a certain degree of discipline, were suitable dragon followers, so he had to control the destructive desires and fiery rage brought by the evil dragon blood.

He needed to be mindful that the influence of the evil dragon blood would also increase with his growth, just like constantly maintaining a certain state of mind and a state similar to being cautious when alone.

So even though each release of dragon fire and destruction made the red dragon feel extremely happy, allowing him to particularly enjoy and indulge in this unrestrained feeling.

He would quickly be restrained by Karon, the will to control the evil dragon blood had become his subconscious instinct, he only destroyed what he wanted to destroy and killed who he wanted to kill.

Under the tempering of this will and state of mind, Karon always had a feeling that when he passed through the sleeping period of his youth, he would usher in a huge evolution and improvement.

From the long-term development of the dragon territory and his own interests, accepting the allegiance of these gnolls was also the optimal choice that the red dragon, as the lord of the dragon group, should make.

Besides, he had already demonstrated the power and majesty of the dragon, established absolute authority in front of these evil races who only feared power, and also punished the gnoll tribe.

After the war with the dragon's followers and the dragon's punishment, this gnoll tribe, plus the enslaved trolls and hobgoblin slaves, had approximately six hundred members.

This number, coupled with the strength of the gnolls, still counted as a relatively powerful tribe, and these gnolls would replenish the dragon territory, which was in dire need of manpower.

The surviving gnolls, led by the gnoll leader Yugu, would move their tribe to the core area of the dragon territory, settle there and be redistributed, while the remaining centaur warriors and gray wolf knights were the supervisors escorting the gnolls.

However, these gnolls were the closest to a civilized tribe of monsters that Karon had ever seen, not only possessing their own gnoll language, but also having a relatively stable and distinct social class structure, with a relatively clear division of labor within the tribe.

Moreover, these gnolls had accumulated a certain amount of wealth, including poultry and animals domesticated in their nests, and food crops planted.

This was a crop that looked like foxtail grass on the grassland, and under the gnolls' rough planting management, it would bring a considerable amount of food to the tribe every year.

The vacant nests after these gnolls left would become temporary residences and fortresses for the kobolds and green-skinned goblins who patrolled the territory for the dragon every day on gray wolves.

However, Karon didn't care about these things, the dragon group was not short of the wealth accumulated by the gnoll tribe, and he had no intention of looking for treasure in the gnoll's treasure trove, but directly returned to the dragon's lair with the black dragon Rosani.

When the two dragons landed on the top of the mountain, Karon saw the figure of the green dragon Antajeina, the beautiful female dragon shimmering like emeralds in the morning sun, lying prostrate on the mountain where the young dragons usually gathered to rest.

The green dragon's slender neck and head rested on a stone-carved round table, while she was boredly tapping her long tail and slowly yawning. The green dragon was responsible for patrolling the dragon territory last night, so she was a little sleepy from lack of sleep. She was waiting for the young dragons who had slept enough to come out and take over the patrol duties.

"Karon, Rosani," Antajeina noticed the arrival of the red dragon and the black dragon, and quickly got up. Her slender neck rubbed against the red dragon's shoulder blades. This slightly intimate way of greeting was limited to the red dragon. For the black dragon, Antajeina simply said hello.

To be honest, Karon felt that he had two split but unified aesthetics. On the one hand, he felt that the appearance of the green dragon Antajeina was not beautiful, especially the thorny bat-wing-like tissue growing on the top of her head and back made him feel ugly.

On the other hand, the dragon's instinctive aesthetics were telling him that the green dragon in front of him was a rare beauty. From the dragon's point of view, she was a beautiful dragon among the five-colored dragons.

So although Karon knew that the green dragon Antajeina had been deliberately trying to please him, he never gave his response.

"Was everything smooth last night, Rosani?" The green dragon asked casually. She didn't know that Karon had stepped out of the nest for the black dragon. She thought they happened to be returning at the same time.

The black dragon Rosani looked at the red dragon, then at the green dragon, and then said in a low voice: "It's okay."

Karon didn't know what the black dragon was thinking, so he walked to the edge of the flat ground on the top of the mountain and looked down, overlooking his territory.

The territory had already begun to become active in the morning. In addition to those followers who were on duty at the foot of the mountain, other followers had gradually appeared.

The kobold tribe, which followed the dragon earliest and was most useful to the dragon, was allowed to open up a home in the forest at the foot of the Dragon Nest Mountains.

They lived next to the centaur tribe that had moved in. The ogre slaves and green-skinned goblins lived in the middle and edge of the kobold camp and the centaur camp, which was convenient for the dragon's followers to monitor and control these two races.

So many newborn kobold children and centaur children appeared at the foot of the mountain. Under stable living conditions, these two tribes were now in a period of rapid population growth, with newborns born every month.

Although the ogre slaves and goblin tribes had a relatively low status in the dragon territory, the dragon group's rich territory could also provide sufficient food.

Even if they went into the forest to dig wild vegetables and collect mushrooms, they could easily feed these monsters, which were much more tenacious than humans.

However, the cubs of these ogre slaves and green-skinned goblins were not allowed to run around in the territory, partly because of the group's class status.

On the other hand, the kobold cubs, who were particularly brutal to other races, always liked to abuse the cubs of these slaves, leading to a high mortality rate among the ogre and green-skinned goblin cubs.

This was the racial nature and status class difference of these monsters. Even if the dragon did not appreciate this practice, it was difficult to change in a short time. Besides, the dragon's gaze could not pay attention to these details every moment.

Karon's gaze was now focused on the newborn cubs of these followers. These newborn cubs looked particularly strong and energetic, and their physical condition was better than that of their parents when they were young.

Some kobold cubs living near the foot of the Red Dragon Mountain would also grow fine red scales, only revealing white skin between their chests and abdomen. The short horns on their heads were also different from their parents. The short horns on their heads were thicker and longer than those of their parents.

Occasionally, there would be kobold cubs growing wings. These cubs were generally the leaders of the cubs of the same age, leading a group of kobold cubs to shuttle through the dense forest at the foot of the mountain and cause damage.

They dug out pits and installed traps and alarm devices that would trigger crossbow arrows.

This innate talent was fully reflected in these kobold cubs.

The centaur cubs did not have any special changes, but the cubs became stronger. Perhaps the centaurs themselves had more talent than the kobolds, so the dragon's influence on them was not obvious.

Obviously, although Karon was high on the top of the mountain, he was still uncontrollably influencing these kobold followers, causing these kobolds to gradually change.

However, Karon himself was not sure whether these kobold followers were affected by the nest effect or because the kobold bloodline was naturally more susceptible to the dragon's influence.

After all, in Karon's impression, only legendary dragons had a wide enough nest effect. The influence of the nest effect of dragons below the legendary level was generally limited to the surroundings of their caves.

Karon's nest was located on the top of a high mountain, so in theory, it was difficult to affect these kobold followers. Karon had once tried to actively control the influence of the dragon's nest effect, but with little success.

So Karon chose to build his nest on the top of the high mountain also with the idea of reducing the impact on the surrounding environment. After all, the red dragon's changes to the environment were not as relatively gentle as the green dragon's. At that time, the grasslands and forests would be full of cracked earth and endless wildfires that could not be extinguished.

The influence and destructive power of other young dragons were not to be outdone, especially the white dragon and the blue dragon. The blue dragon would gradually desertify the nearby land, and the white dragon would turn the place into a natural ice store.

Karon didn't want to destroy the surrounding environment. It wasn't that the evil dragon suddenly had a kind heart, but that a complete territory could bring more benefits to the dragon group. He now needed to look at most problems as the lord of the dragon group.

Karon shook his head. No wonder those five-colored dragons who once built their nests near the residential areas of humans and other races were easily slaughtered, or at least beaten up and driven away.

Even if these five-colored dragons stayed honestly in their nests and wanted to develop, they would be discovered by the surrounding humans as their influence on the environment gradually deepened.

It can only be said that whether actively or passively, every five-colored dragon living in the world is constantly causing damage.

The fact that they cause permanent damage to the environment alone can give these humans an excuse to attack the five-colored dragons.

In Karon's red pupils, the world had changed in some way, as if it had suddenly switched to another perspective, and the whole world had become real and specific.

The real world was composed of countless entangled and intertwined flowing lines and energy trajectories: yellow earth, blue water patterns, cyan flowing wind, green life, and red flames.

These elements were running in the real world every moment, not interfering with each other but intertwined and fused with each other at a certain moment.

This was the real vision possessed by those who were attuned to and controlled the elemental realm, a part of Karon's own real vision.

In addition, Karon also saw many incomprehensible fluctuations and traces of energy lines. He could not understand them, could not touch them, and could not use them.

But Karon could see that, in addition to the mass of elements representing his own flames, metal, and earth intertwined and distinct from each other, there were also some attribute-less radiation field forces with almost no energy fluctuations emanating from the surface of his body, intersecting with a certain energy and node in the real world.

This radiation-like force was like some uncontrollable passivity, which could gradually form a diffused field in the intersection with the real world, and gradually infect every place in this field.

Karon's gaze turned to the nest where he lived, the volcanic magma lake. In his vision, the radiation field force he unconsciously emitted was converging towards the nest along a certain track and trace in the real world.

His own nest had formed an extremely special and thick field because of the long-term contamination and the fact that it belonged to a special magical intersection node.

This field could only be felt as a mental pressure similar to dragon might in the eyes of those who did not have a real vision. This was why many dragons usually restrained their dragon might, but many creatures still did not dare to approach the dragon's nest.

The range of the dragon's marked territory would not be like that of ordinary beasts, marking their territory with the smell of urine, but the dragon's own radiation field would naturally leave a unique aura in the intersection with a certain energy in the real world.

However, although dragons could not control the effects and influences of this power themselves, it was easy to erase their own aura.

But Karon's radiation field force was not strong enough at this time, and it did not connect and resonate with the field formed by the nest, and eventually disappeared in a corner of the real world.

This perspective was extremely clear. Without the interference of the various strong elemental traces of the volcanic nest, Karon could easily find his own radiation field force.

Karon frowned. He remembered that the treasures in his own dug treasure trove were also contaminated with this unique radiation field force of the dragon.

Moreover, the accumulated treasures had gradually formed a node and amplifier similar to field radiation under the influence and contamination of the dragon's power.

Every dragon's ability would be amplified in its own nest. The specific amplification depended on each dragon's talent and control. This was why many dragons' combat power in their own nests far exceeded their combat power when walking outside.

As for the legendary white dragon who was rumored to have been single-brushed by someone blocking the door, Karon had to attribute it to the fact that the white dragon race had the title of shame of the five-colored dragons, which affected the white dragon's performance.

However, the fact that the treasures in the dragon's nest could amplify and diffuse the dragon's own power and field effect was a common sense that was not found in the dragon's inheritance, and Karon felt some doubts in his heart.

Without the inheritance of this knowledge, ordinary dragons would find it difficult to discover the existence of this power. They were not like Karon, who had the talent of real vision, but passively controlled and responded to the talented elements in the world.

Perhaps only after ordinary dragons became adults or entered the legend could they discover the existence of this power, or possess this contaminating power.

At this moment, some rumors about dragons' love of collecting treasures appeared in Karon's mind. It was said that these treasures, gold coins, and countless precious treasures that creatures were keen on were entrusted with thoughts and wishes about some sentient beings.

They were attached with powers similar to special magic or faith power. This power could be absorbed and used by dragons with special talents, could supplement their own abilities and bloodlines, and could allow dragons to achieve leaps and evolutions at critical moments.

Therefore, if any race in the world, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, deems something precious, a treasure or valuable item, the dragon will conceive the idea of plundering it, be it money or other treasures.

Even a princess of a human kingdom, if she possesses such qualities and is regarded as a treasure by her kingdom, will be targeted for abduction by a dragon.

Furthermore, in Calon's inheritance, it is mentioned that dragons have a certain path to transcend during their final evolution, requiring them to devour all the treasures they have collected.

Then, they undergo sublimation and evolution in slumber, and upon success, they leap up, transforming into a God-Sealing Dragon, which is an exclusive path for dragons to achieve life sublimation.

However, this transcending ritual can only be attempted when a dragon reaches a certain life threshold, at least surpassing the boundary of life and death.

Although dragons can theoretically grow infinitely and possess infinite lifespan, each dragon faces trials from the world and limitations of time upon reaching extreme old age; overcoming these trials leads to becoming an Ancient Dragon, possessing greater lifespan and power.

Failure to overcome these trials results in demise, returning to the embrace of death like other races. Consequently, many dragons choose the alternative path of becoming Dragon Liches to extend their lives.

It can only be said that theory belongs to theory, and actual circumstances belong to actual circumstances.

This inevitably brings up the White Dragon among the five chromatic dragons. After other chromatic dragons become Ancient Dragons upon surpassing the extremely old age stage, they generally possess the power to contend with legends, regardless of their talent.

However, a typical White Dragon, even after becoming an Ancient Dragon, is still insufficient to contend with legends and needs to continue growing to the peak of an Ancient Dragon before possessing such power. From this perspective, the title of 'Disgrace of the Chromatic Dragons' attached to the White Dragon seems to be indelible.

However, Calon's inheritance only briefly mentions this path of God-Sealing Dragon, without specific methods of implementation, perhaps because Calon has not yet reached that stage, and it will only be opened to Calon when his life level reaches a certain threshold.

This situation is normal because the dragon's inheritance is as vast as the misty sea, and it is impossible to transmit all inheritance information to a dragon at once.

A dragon's inheritance needs to be unsealed and sorted through each slumber before it can become knowledge that they possess and master.

Even the offspring of gods would not be able to withstand receiving all the dragon inheritance information at once, let alone these young dragons.

Or perhaps each dragon needs to attempt their own God-Sealing ritual according to their specific circumstances, with each dragon requiring different rituals and methods, which is why there is no specific knowledge retained in Calon's own inheritance.

But in any case, such knowledge does not exist in the inheritance of every dragon, and the unevenness of the world is vividly demonstrated in this aspect. Perhaps those dragons who have once crossed this step did not choose to pass down this information.

This is normal. The nature of dragons is greedy and selfish. 'After I die, who cares if there's a flood' is a natural trait possessed by every dragon, difficult to change.

Or perhaps those dragons who know this knowledge do not want it to be widely spread, after all, if they choose this path, all dragons will become potential competitors to each other.

Even if dragons do not know this information, their greed drives them to plunder treasures. How much more so if the path to sublimation and evolution is clearly defined?

That would drive the dragons to an extremely frenzied state over the world's treasures; valuing money over life would become the epitome of most dragons, and it is even more likely to set off endless dragon wars.

Every dragon would covet each other's treasures and vaults, although it is almost the same usually, but dragons generally do not actively launch wars against another dragon because of greed for treasure.

"No wonder the statues of Tiamat, the Dragon Queen of the Five Chromatic Dragons, always gaze at the dragon nests of every dragon follower with an extremely greedy gaze," Calon thought. Even if these chromatic dragons become followers of Tiamat, they would not choose to place the Dragon Queen's statue inside their nests.

Generally, they would casually place the Dragon Queen's statue outside, praying when something happens, and treating the statue as non-existent when nothing happens.

The newest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

It seems to be to prevent Tiamat from coveting their treasures, and there are legends that the Dragon Queen of the Five Chromatic Dragons has stolen some dragons' treasures. Calon does not know if this information is true.

But based on his own evil dragon nature, it would not be strange if Tiamat really did such a thing. The Dragon Queen of the Five Chromatic Dragons is a dragon god, but she is first and foremost a dragon.

Her power is not because she is a dragon god, but because she is a powerful dragon. She possesses all the characteristics and abilities of all five chromatic dragons in the world, and is far stronger than the five chromatic dragons by a thousand or a hundred times, and certain characteristics of the five chromatic dragons will be amplified by a thousand or a hundred times in her.

"It seems that the master behind those dragon merchant guilds also knows this information," Calon recalled some knowledge. There are some famous merchant guilds on the continent of Akania that are controlled by those metallic dragons, and several of these merchant guilds have also come to the dragon's territory to do business.

Calon was very impressed with these merchant guilds because he found the aura of true dragons on the leaders of these merchant guilds, including a silver dragon who used polymorph magic to transform into a human.

Under Calon's true vision, these dragons who have not reached master-level polymorph magic cannot hide their figures, even if they possess magical secrets that can cover up their true dragon aura.

"It seems that I also need to establish a merchant guild belonging to the dragon clan as soon as possible," Calon thought. Plundering treasures is only the lowest-level means in Calon's eyes. The profit earned from doing business is much faster than plundering treasures. Robbing a bank is not as profitable as some businesses.

But if you want to embark on this path, the treasures required may be immeasurable, otherwise, there would be no information about dragons successfully becoming gods in Calon's inherited memories.

However, although Calon may not necessarily embark on this path of the God-Sealing Dragon, he is accustomed to preparing in advance. Having a backup path is never a bad thing.

Calon urged his magic power and entered the state of [Mind Overclocking], using his powerful will to control himself into overclocking mode. In this state, Calon has an extremely focused spirit and absolute control over his body.

His strength, speed, reaction vision, etc. are also increased to the highest level that his own qualities should have, but this is not for combat, but to try to control his own lair effect, the kind of power that naturally emanates from himself, similar to field radiation.

His will controls his body and spirit to restrain, every scale on his body is tightly attached to his skin, and every tiny pore on his skin that is difficult for ordinary eyes to find is also closing.

His own power is contracting, and the ever-active Evil Dragon Blood is also entering a dormant state under his will.

Calon's spirit began to try to touch and control the field radiation power revealed in the true vision. This energy, similar to fluctuation, is extremely subtle and difficult to detect.

However, Calon's current spiritual power is strong enough. The abundant soul and spirit of the ogre giant Fafner has been providing Calon with buffs.

Calon's current spiritual power is about to surpass those high-level scholar mages who are good at exploring the mysteries of magic with their spirits, so he easily touched the fluctuation of field radiation energy after trying a few times. He began to integrate his spirit into this field radiation energy fluctuation.

He is using his spiritual power to find the rhythm and changes of this radiation power fluctuation, and gradually feels that his own field radiation power is interacting and resonating with a certain energy and field from the outside world.

The energy fluctuations form diffusion in the real world with the help of a certain medium, and then dissipate after reaching the limit.

Bang, bang, bang,

A rhythm similar to the rapid change of a slight heartbeat reacts in Calon's spirit. He finds the rhythm point of change in an instant, and his spiritual power merges into it.

His spiritual power seems to instantly enter a certain extremely subtle vision. Under the macro gaze of the true vision, he sets foot in the micro field of the world, and can perceive every subtle structure and connection along the fluctuation of power radiation.

His spirit can follow every subtle structure of the stone and go deep into the stone to observe, just like discovering the element particle structure that makes up the stone, flowing along the structural gaps between these element particles, every grain of soil, every tree, every ore, he can use this radiation fluctuation to resonate with the outside world and enter the internal observation. The microscopic part of the world is opening the door to him.

Calon left his own mark in a true corner of the world.

In this rhythm state, he can restrain the energy fluctuations emitted by his own field radiation like restraining his own dragon might. As this fluctuation of his own field radiation power converges.

Calon's own aura is like every stone, every tree, every inch of land in the world, no longer emitting his own aura and energy fluctuations, but similar to all things in the world, generated from the root.

From the perspective of the black dragon Rosani, the red dragon in front of him stands on the top of the mountain like an eternal rock, and he can hardly feel the red dragon's life fluctuations and soul aura.

Whoosh,

Calon withdrew from this resonance, and the strange perspective instantly switched and disappeared. He took a deep breath, and in front of him was a green wilderness and barren mountains, full of vitality.

Calon felt the consumption and fatigue of his spiritual power. Now, in the state of starting his own mind overclocking, he can persist for a long time. He has been practicing mastering this state in his daily activities every day before.

So now, after a long period of training and adaptation, Calon has far more flexibility and concentration than other dragons, and his overall combat effectiveness has also been greatly improved.

The relative clumsiness brought by the dragon's huge body is not reflected in Calon at all.

In addition, the sub-brain node group is constantly analyzing and adjusting the red dragon's daily posture and power output model, which causes Calon to be in a constant state of practice in his daily life.

However, exploring and restraining in this perspective in the state of opening [Mind Overclocking] consumes a lot of his spiritual power, which is not enough for him to stay in this state for a long time.

However, the benefits brought by this attempt are huge. Calon can feel the situation in which he opens the two states.

He happily scratched his thick jaw with his thick dragon claws, turned his head and smiled at the black dragon Rosani behind him: "Rosani, I seem to have learned your race's talent ability, a red dragon who can sneak, it's really interesting."

Calon's harvest was beyond his expectations. Originally, Calon hoped to control this influence that was not controlled by the dragon only because of his habit. Calon is accustomed to controlling everything about himself.

In the eyes of outsiders, this kind of person with obsessive-compulsive self-control tendencies belongs to a potential self-abuser. They enjoy the sense of accomplishment of controlling themselves, just like those who enjoy indulgence enjoy this pleasure of controlling themselves.

Calon is also like this. Controlling himself is not only to prevent his free will from being affected by the outside world and the Evil Dragon Blood, but he is also enjoying the sense of accomplishment brought by successfully controlling himself, which is the same as the sense of accomplishment brought by seeing himself constantly improving.

Calon enjoys this feeling, and also enjoys the feeling of indulgence, but he prefers to enjoy the process of relaxation after successfully controlling himself.

This feeling is like the indulgence after honing himself, so the red dragon is not like those ascetic monks who only want to control himself, he is just enjoying this success.

"Calon, it seems you have become stronger again," the black dragon Rosani said with joy on his face, stepping forward, only one step behind Calon, and looking down on the dragon's territory side by side with the red dragon.

And the figure of the green dragon Antagina has disappeared, and she should have returned to her high mountain nest to rest. Flying above the sky is the blue dragon Akzi, and today this juvenile blue dragon is responsible for patrolling the dragon's territory.

Calon shook his head, "It's not a matter of becoming stronger, it's just a matter of discovering another way to become stronger, and learning a more useful ability."

The black dragon Rosani was silent, with some frustrated emotions on his face. He looked up at the huge red dragon and said a little bit: "Calon, I don't know what to do anymore, I don't have such a strong talent like you,".

"Even if I work hard and actively want to do something for the dragon group, I still failed to achieve a successful record last night. Not only did I lose a lot of dragon dependents, but I also need you to rescue me. I, I don't know what I should do."

Dragons are also creatures and have their own weak side, even evil dragons. The black dragon Rosani also has his own weak emotions, but other dragons will laugh at this emotion. The black dragon will only show this emotion when facing the red dragon.

This is certainly not that the dragon is too weak, but that the black dragon Rosani feels the pressure and produces anxiety. The black dragon belongs to the tail end of the five chromatic dragons, and its own talent is not outstanding.

Not to mention the ordinary red dragon at the head of the five chromatic dragons, who can fight two black dragons at the start, even the green dragon can stably suppress the black dragon in a one-on-one duel.

Even the weakest white dragon, the current Gamot, after the growth and tempering of his heart, has embarked on the road of reviving the bloodline of the previous generation, and can stably suppress the black dragon in a one-on-one duel.

As for the white dragon Camid, although he is the bottom of the dragon group, Camid has a special status in the hearts of these dragons and will not despise Camid.

Because the white dragon Camid is the most reckless dragon in the dragon group, even if he is weak, as long as Calon gives an order, he dares to flaunt his claws and fangs.

Even if the opposite is an adult dragon, this white dragon seems to have no fear in his heart, even the iron-headed female red dragon Kleinaya is not as reckless as this white dragon.

So, the black dragon Rosani was now feeling troubled and anxious. He didn't want to be a burden on the dragon group; he wanted to be useful and prove his worth.

The red dragon didn't comfort the anxious black dragon. He turned his head and slapped Rosani across the face with his thick dragon claw.

Smack.

"Karon?" Black dragon Rosani looked at the red dragon with a shocked and bewildered expression.

"Rosani, you need to act like a male dragon. What's wrong with you?" Karon's calm but powerful voice gave the black dragon a sense of peace.

"Is this what you learned from me and the dragon group? Being as weak as those human women," the red dragon said, his calm eyes fixed on the black dragon's eyes.

"What to do, what to do, what kind of rubbish is this," the red dragon's words didn't have a mocking tone, but they were firm and resolute enough. He said, "The world of dragons is not the world of humans and those short-lived species. There's no need to rush to listen to those stories of young achievers."

"Rosani, time is on our side. To grow, you must make a decision. Or you can grow freely like other dragons. You will always be part of the dragon group, and the dragon group will not abandon you, but you must be firm in your choice, not hesitant like a coward."

Karon gazed at the black dragon. His words were what he truly felt. He wouldn't demand every dragon to grow like him or Kraina. Each dragon has their own choices and talent limitations. He accepted the diversity and unevenness of the world.

Moreover, whether it's controlling the evil dragon nature or honing oneself through battle, it's extremely difficult for the dragon's lazy, pleasure-seeking, and indulgent nature. It's difficult to change one's nature, and Karon wouldn't try to change it. He would only subtly influence things that could be changed.

"I understand, Karon," black dragon Rosani received assurance and support from the red dragon's eyes. His eyes also became firm, and he laughed, "Damn it, there's nothing a dragon can't conquer. Karon, maybe I need to conquer myself like you. Dragons don't allow anything to control them, not even their own bloodline."

Karon's long tail swung and hit the black dragon Rosani's back with a whoosh. A smile also appeared on his face. "This is the mentality that a proud dragon should have. Those powerful and proud evil dragons aren't even afraid of the Dragon God, let alone the influence of some evil dragon blood."

Black dragon Rosani nodded, then said sheepishly, "But I won't give up those beautiful little mares on the grassland. Dragons should pursue powerful strength, but they also need beautiful embellishments."

Although the red dragon knew the dragon's aesthetic, dragons could find unique beauty in all creatures in the world.

Even in ugly slimes and rock giants made of stone, dragons could discover their unique beauty, but the black dragon's hobby was too unique and niche for Karon.

For some reason, black dragon Rosani was particularly fond of equine creatures. Even with the centaur tribe he had taken in, black dragon Rosani often lingered among them. Now, those centaurs had the closest relationship with black dragon Rosani.

Smack, Karon slapped black dragon Rosani away with his wing. Karon took the opportunity to flap his wide wings and took off, leaving his words behind, "Control doesn't mean prohibition, but your hobbies and aesthetics, tsk tsk, never mind, I'm too lazy to care about you."

"Hehe," black dragon Rosani flipped over from the ground, spread his wings, and took off, returning to his lair.

Whoosh, Karon landed on the summit of his lair. The two peaks were not far apart. Now, the red dragon, with wings nearly thirty meters long, only needed to flap them lightly to reach his lair.

The heat from the ever-surging magma and the volcanic ash brought out from the depths of the earth's core enveloped the entire mountain, making it difficult for even sunlight to penetrate these ashes and the misty heat.

This made the red dragon's lair appear somewhat dark, like those legendary doomsday volcanoes.

As soon as Karon landed here, the unrestrained field radiation instantly connected with the field remaining in the entire lair. In this lair, the red dragon could grasp information from every corner and exert several times his own power.

Even if a young red dragon came to Karon's lair, they would be severely beaten by Karon and then leave behind treasures to buy their life and redeem themselves.

The warning spell 'Lucid Dream' that Karon initially set up had gradually spread in all directions under the intense magical supply of the volcano, expanding from initially covering the entire mountain.

However, this spell did not block the other young dragons. The arrival of these young dragons would not trigger the warning in Karon's settings.

So, Karon wasn't surprised when he discovered the red dragon Kraina hiding in the lava lake pretending to be asleep. Karon knew very well the help that the lava lair brought to the red dragon's growth. This female red dragon had been coveting his lair, which made Karon have a sense of mischievousness.

Subtle magic power quickly gathered between Karon's claws, condensing into a fireball under Karon's will. This was his awakened talent spell, not magic, so it was extremely fast. He quietly raised the fireball and smashed it towards the red dragon in the lava lake.

Bang!
