Under the Red Dragon

#12 - Another fruitful day

Karon lay sprawled lazily on the riverbank, squinting, his long tail dangling the bones with the last scraps of flesh from his prey into the water.

The tip of his tail twitched occasionally, luring a tiger-striped ferocious fish that tentatively circled in the deep water.

But this tiger-striped ferocious fish warily eyed the tempting bait without taking it, and even drove away the originally dense school of fish around it.

At this time, the red dragon, after two years of growth and development, had reached a body length of five meters, already a veritable red behemoth.

It exceeded the size of many young dragons, and only the most powerful red dragons and metallic dragon younglings could compare to Karon in size.

However, recently, the red dragon's growth had begun to slow and stagnate, and it was clear that even with the talent of hyper-limited growth, the mediocre evil dragon blood flowing through his veins was not enough to support him to become even stronger.

He could think of several ways to solve this predicament. The first was the upcoming slumber. By passing through the crucial slumber period from hatchling to young dragon, he would break the current limitations and usher in a new growth period.

The second was to learn magic. Perhaps becoming a dragon mage could break this predicament with the power of magic.

However, Karon had already consulted Akz, but Akz did not have this knowledge. Obviously, his predecessor was as arrogant and lazy as most dragons.

The blue dragon Kalite was the same, but Kalite said that she could teach Karon the dragon transformation spell.

When dragons grow to the stage of young dragons, they will naturally learn the dragon polymorph spell, which can control the overall enlargement and reduction of the body.

But the transformation spell is to change into the form of other races, and it is not engraved in the inheritance of every dragon.

Karon decided that after this slumber, if he failed to learn the transformation spell from his inheritance, he would learn it from Kalite.

Perhaps he could use the transformation spell to find an opportunity to travel to the human world. He could learn the knowledge he wanted from human mages.

The third method was obtained from his own inheritance, to break through the limitations of his mediocre evil dragon blood, trace back to the powerful ancient evil dragon bloodline. The more powerful the bloodline, the higher the upper limit of growth.

In the inheritance, there are many figures of dragons who broke through their mediocre bloodlines. Their bodies are generally one size larger than other members of the same race, with their own unique power characteristics and appearance symbols.

Among them, the one that impressed Karon the most was a hundred-meter-long red dragon. Its body, as large as a mountain, brought unparalleled oppression and fear to the enemy. Under those wings that blotted out the sky, the world seemed to be wailing and screaming, praying that the red dragon would restrain its power and the flames of destruction.

Unfortunately, he only knew that this method existed. There was no specific method for tracing the bloodline in the inheritance. Presumably, the predecessor who left his dragon inheritance should have had it innately.

Moreover, although it is closer to the ancient bloodline than the evil dragon blood in his body, it is estimated that it is only limited in strength.

After all, he did not find the figure of his predecessor red dragon among those dragons with powerful names, something like Little Calamity, Karon speculated maliciously, somewhat inflated.

The last method is also the fundamental reliance that Karon is now far superior to other hatchlings of the same age. It exists in his mind, deep in his consciousness, in the vortex that he can only see in his trances between dreams.

Previously, the vortex, which was the size of a human baby's fist, had only a small amount of fundamental power left the size of a finger after combining with his evil dragon bloodline to form the talent of hyper-limited growth.

In the past few years, Karon has carefully explored with his consciousness every time he fell asleep. At this time, only the most fundamental vortex finally revealed its true face.

This is a wonderful structure composed of countless tiny pale golden runes that are difficult for even consciousness to observe. This structure is oval in shape, hidden within the vortex, floating up and down.

It was this group of runes that gave Karon the powerful ability to far exceed dragons of the same age, and Karon had a hunch that his talent for hyper-limited growth was only a negligible ability of the mysterious runes.

When Karon first completed the hunt for the ferocious wild boar king, he felt that the soul lost by the wild boar king caused fluctuations in this power in his mind.

It's just a pity that he didn't have the knowledge and ability to absorb souls. Only the vortex passively absorbed a trace of some kind of power from the soul at an extremely short distance, without giving play to subjective initiative at all.

Moreover, when he sensed the soul power of the wild boar king, he also vaguely noticed some danger, perhaps warning him not to devour souls casually, or perhaps the fluctuation of this group of runes made him discover some hidden dangers, all of which are unknown.

However, after several years of exploration and research, Karon found that absorbing magic power could also strengthen the power of the vortex in his mind. But what that group of runes needs is not pure magic power.

Over the years, the massive magic power that the dragon spontaneously absorbed has only added a trace of volume to the dream vortex. Obviously, this vortex is a kind of energy produced by the runes filtering from the magic power, perhaps absorbing only a certain essence contained in the magic power.

The essence of the soul and magic power that can cause rune fluctuations should have the same point, so what exactly is this same point? Red Dragon had many guesses in his heart, and some ideas were born.

But none of these methods can be used immediately at the moment. Thinking of this, the red dragon sighed.

The air force guy, who had been fishing for a long time without a fish biting, vented his anger on Kleinaya, the little female dragon who was lying beside him with her head facing him and resting with her eyes closed, and flicked his tail on the little female dragon's particularly hard head.

"It's all your fault, Kleinaya, for not restraining your dragon might, which caused me to not catch any fish again."

Ever since the little female dragon knew that she was not taken on the dragon group's first hunt, she had been brooding about it. As long as Karon left the dragon's nest, she would follow behind him. During this period, it could be said that Ka was inseparable from Ke, and Ke was inseparable from Ka.

Having long been accustomed to this situation, Karon opened his eyes and laughed loudly at the red dragon: "Karon, if you want to eat fish, you can let the black dragon go into the water to catch it, otherwise, with your fishing skills that are worse than the inferior monkeys in the forest, the dragons will starve to death."

Enraged, Karon roared loudly, "Rosani, Rosani, come out quickly, go block the upper and lower reaches of this river, I'm going to drain the water from this river today, and I have to get this cunning ferocious fish."

Rosani, who was playing in the water dozens of meters upstream, poked his head out of the water. He knew that this was just Karon's joke. Karon usually didn't look down on his companions because of his strength, and he wouldn't order him around at will. He was a very easy-going dragon.

So, the black dragon Rosani ignored the red dragon's unreasonable request and said with a smile, squeezing his scales and winking: "Forget it, Karon, otherwise I'll catch that damn ferocious fish and hang it on your tail, that's much faster than draining the water."

"Tch," Karon stood up on all fours, spread his wide wings, and spat out a mouthful of saliva full of sparks, cursing: "Kleinaya, go back and gather the dragon group, it's time for the hunt."

This vast and fertile grassland may be deeply loved by the world of Aikania. The many rivers that cover the grassland will not dry up even in the driest seasons.

The river originating from the far north always flows on this grassland, nurturing the plants and many beast groups on this grassland.

The dragon group flew forward in the sky in a triangular wedge shape. At the forefront was the red dragon, the largest of the hatchlings, the leader of the hatchlings, Karon Goggomora, as the most powerful attack point in the formation.

At the tips of the two wings were the second largest, nearly four-meter-long female red dragon Kleinaya and the blue dragon Dos, who controlled the storms and lightning in the sky.

The other hatchlings, who were the size of adult horses and three meters long, connected the wings and the tip of the formation as triangular lines, and could support the wings and the front end at any time.

Above the hatchlings' formation, the nanny dragon Akz, who was eleven meters in size, soared with her wings.

The autonomously adjustable pupils had already turned into vertical pupils, and her sharp eyes looked far ahead, searching for places that might pose a danger to the hatchlings.

Since Karon consciously trained the hatchlings' group consciousness and cooperative combat ability, every hunt would summon the hatchlings to come out in full force.

On the one hand, to satisfy the hatchlings' desire for combat and slaughter, and on the other hand, it was also an opportunity for the dragon group to explore the environment around the territory.

Therefore, each hatchling hunt would be farther away from the dragon's nest, a little beyond the range of the dragon's nest radiation area, slowly and methodically expanding the scope of activity.

The dragon group swept across the already familiar territory and set its sights on a group of wild horses with more than three hundred members.

These wild horses were tall, strong, and plump, with shiny fur all over their bodies, and they looked very fat. Moreover, the wild horse group ran on the grassland every day, and the meat on their bodies must be very chewy under a lot of exercise.

The hatchlings began to lock on to their targets, all of which were strong stallions in the horse group. This came from Karon's influence.

Karon generally does not prey on mothers and young, nor does he kill and hunt near water sources. The hatchlings know that this is called sustainable development, and they cannot drain the pond to catch all the fish.

The top-down influence is fast and obvious. The hatchlings still advocate strength, but they have gradually become accustomed to using wisdom.

The hatchlings' formation began to dive down with Karon. The red dragon leader's wide and powerful wings broke the wind in front, and the dragon group's diving speed became faster and faster.

When the horse group realized that something was wrong and ran away on all fours, the dragon group's attack had already arrived. The hatchlings who swept over the horse group's heads all grabbed their respective targets with their claws. Karon's powerful fore and hind claws firmly grabbed the leader of the wild horses, and then led the dragon group to rise into the air and release the wild horses under their claws, and slammed them **** the grassland.

The other hatchlings did not have Karon's powerful strength, but they all left wounds on their respective targets that were enough to lose their ability to move.

The remaining wild horses scattered in a panic, leaving only those wild horses that could not move lying on the ground and wailing in despair.

The dragon group landed, and Akz also landed in front of his prey, and like the red dragon, spit out his breath to burn the fur of the wild horse into ashes.

He also dug open his abdomen and discarded dirty internal organs such as the stomach and intestines, and ate other energy-rich and nutritious internal organs.

Finally, he signaled Karon to spit out dragon breath to scorch his prey, and used the red dragon's superb flame control ability to bake the wild horse to a tender and charred degree before opening his mouth to enjoy the meal.

The other hatchlings were the same, the only difference was that the white dragon liked to freeze the cleaned prey into ice cubes, and the sound of crunching and crunching made the dragons' teeth ache.

Many black dragons like to eat carrion, using their acid to corrode their prey and then eat it.

Rosani said that it was the inferior taste of other inferior members of the same race. A true male dragon should be as clean and tasteful as the powerful Karon.

So every time he licked his face, either asked the red dragon Kleinaya for help like the green dragon Anta Gena, or dragged his prey and looked at Karon with pleading eyes, so that Karon couldn't stand it and took the initiative to help.

These influences from the unique red dragon are changing the dragon group little by little. Although weak, they add up. When there are more such things, quantitative changes will cause qualitative changes. This is true for anyone and anything.
