Under the Red Dragon

Those jackal warriors who had stepped out of the plane portal earlier were nonchalant. The temporal confusion brought about by traversing the plane portal didn't have much impact on these monster familiars.

Their strong bodies also allowed them to quickly recover their blocked and shielded five senses. Now, under the arrangement of the jackal Yugu, they were standing in place to rest, surrounding and protecting Caron and those weaker spellcasters.

Caron turned his head and looked at this outpost base. Under the construction of these two months, this simple base built with wood was not small in scale, and it was more than enough to accommodate more than a thousand people.

Outside the base, rows of defensive measures similar to chevaux de frise surrounded the front entrance of the entire base, while on the watchtowers on both sides of the gate stood several kobold soldiers who were dutifully guarding and looking into the distance.

After seeing Caron's figure appear, the kobolds who sensed the familiar aura immediately barked like dogs, and the entire quiet camp suddenly became lively.

Behind the base, which was built against the cliff, a watchtower for observing the wind was also built at the highest point among the short mountain forests.

It seems that these familiars have already learned some common sense of war defense within the territory.

A two-person-high white lighthouse stood in the central open space of this outpost base. It was a plane beacon for precise positioning, and also the key to connecting the plane portal.

At this moment, on the top of this not-so-tall plane beacon lighthouse, the huge magic gem inlaid was emitting a faint glow, supporting the soundproof magic barrier covering the entire outpost base.

Caron looked at the twilight sky and those spellcasters who were a little listless, waved his hand, and asked the jackal Yugu to take these jackal soldiers back to the base barracks to rest.

Next, they may have to face many battles, so they must first keep all the warriors full of energy.

"How about it, Hueser, you should rest for one night first, and start positioning and exploring tomorrow," Caron looked at the squint-eyed mage who was silently casting several spells to enhance his physique and cleanse his mind.

Before departure, Hueser had reminded Caron of relevant precautions, but Caron's body was fine, but these mages seemed listless.

"Then let's rest for one night first, now our spirit is not suitable for using magical positioning instruments to detect this world," the squint-eyed mage's spirit was slightly lifted.

These scholar mages inherited the legacy and technology of the ancient magic empire not completely. The current plane portal is not as perfect as when the ancient magic empire conquered endless planes, so these mages were affected.

Caron nodded, he can only be glad that he is a dragon, and his strong physical fitness allows him to avoid many effects.

The current red dragon is not only basically immune to many negative effects such as toxins, dizziness, and paralysis, but also corresponding spells, if they are not extremely strengthened, cannot affect the red dragon's body.

It can be said that the current Caron is basically immune to most of the control spells, and has nearly complete immunity to fire elemental resistance and strong resistance to earth and metal elements.

And with the seven layers of magic barrier shields and the protection layer of psionic energy that Caron now routinely puts on himself, basically stacked with the thickest armor, the red dragon already feels that he is qualified to tease the whiskers of those Holy-tier powerhouses.

As for attack power, the dragon's powerful body is the strongest attack power. Even the small group of people standing at the top of theSanctuary dare not let any young dragon's claws attack their bodies, even the weakest white dragon is no exception.

Of course, the curse of 'stacking the thickest armor and taking the most poisonous beatings' was not in the red dragon's heart. It was impossible to be beaten.

If he was accidentally ganged up on, Caron would naturally activate the red dragon's innate skill - revenge later. No one can catch up with his current speed. Of course, this is also Caron's occasional little pride.

Although he is not afraid of those Holy-tier powerhouses now,Legendary powerhouses are still quite threatening to him. He doesn't want to try the near-creator-like thinking coverage and cognitive subversion ofLegendary powerhouses.

Even if eachLegendary powerhouse has distance and time limits for this kind of method, these abilities also need to consume theLegendary powerhouse's mental power, but Caron doesn't want to be as stubborn as Kleineria, and only knows to stand upright after being beaten.

Caron's thoughts were a little divergent for a while. He felt that it might be some sequelae left over from crossing the plane channel. After all, he looked directly at the lines of time and space turbulence intertwined and changing. That scene is still deeply engraved in Caron's heart.

"Maybe, I can try to use this method to contact the laws about the change of time and space in the future, but it is a bit too ambitious for me now,"

Caron frowned and stepped out of the soundproof barrier of the camp, while trying to disperse the chaotic and beautiful lines engraved in his heart.

The existence of these imprints somewhat hindered the concentration of his consciousness, making him always freely and autonomously notice those dazzling and chaotic lines.

As soon as he stepped out of the boundary of the camp, a damp and cold breath and a stronger life breath than in the dragon group's territory rushed towards him, making Caron's mind clear.

This breath exists in every environment of the forest in front of him, and is the influence brought by the climate of this plane. Although the red dragon can survive and move in all environments, he still dislikes this long-term humid environment.

The location of the camp is a bit desolate, and there are very few trees growing, like a sandy land that is difficult to appear in the forest.

But in the distant forest, there are dozens or hundreds of different trees growing, and these trees are covered with drops of dew.

Caron stepped into the forest, ejected his claws from his palm, and gently slashed at a tree near him, and a fluorescent green tree sap oozed from the crack in the tree.

But then, under Caron's observation with eyes comparable to precision instruments, the bark near the crack of this tree had already begun to slowly heal, and the sap secreted by the tree was also promoting the healing speed of the tree.

"Well, the density of the trees here is far greater than that of ordinary trees, maybe it's just a single species, I have to try other types of trees again,"

Caron waved his claws and slashed at other trees, and the results were similar. Without exception, the density and healing speed of these trees were far greater than those of ordinary trees of the same species in the world of Ekania.

"It seems that although the power ceiling of this plane is low, the vitality of the life born is quite considerable, and the vitality is generally stronger than that of ordinary beasts in the world of Ekania,"

Walking out of the camp for dozens of miles, Caron had already caught more than a dozen different animals and did simple experiments on these beasts.

Caron is now stepping on this jungle leopard. The wounds on the leopard's body scratched by the dragon's claws have almost healed, and only a few red marks are faintly visible on the wild and beautiful fur.

Caron let go of the leopard. He has always had a good impression of this beautiful cat, and he is not hungry now, so he let the beautiful leopard leap into the depths of the jungle with agile steps.

The beautiful big cat finally looked back curiously at Caron, who looked very strange in her eyes, and seemed to be curious why this powerful predator would let her go.

Caron ignored it. He had already noticed the strangeness of this plane. Not only can plants grow quickly, but also the vitality of those ordinary beasts is much higher than usual.

It is difficult to achieve this level by relying solely on the nourishment of the Tree of Life, because within Caron's perception range, there is no Tree of Life growing, which proves that this area is not within the direct influence of those Trees of Life.

"A bit interesting, is this the fun of exploration and adventure," Caron became interested in the existence behind the scenes that caused all this, and aroused the desire to explore.

Caron didn't feel that this plane had any serious impact and suppression on him. At most, the red dragon's fire spells and breath were slightly weakened in this humid and cold environment.

But this didn't weaken the red dragon's strength much, which is also the source of his confidence.

Even in Caron's current dragonborn form, not to mention his own physical fitness, his magic casting ability is much stronger than that of high-level mages. The power of the spells released by those mages is difficult to compare with the power of the red dragon's spells.

With Caron's current control over magic and elements, his spells are equivalent to being doubly blessed with potentiation and ingenuity, accurate and powerful.

Caron shuttled through the forest. At this time, he had already crossed the defense line formed by the kobold soldiers sent out by the camp to explore and stand guard, and walked nearly a hundred miles to the southwest of the camp.

A somewhat fishy and smelly breath made the red dragon stop. He looked intently, and a snake lizard-like monster more than seven meters long was emerging from the dense forest.

Four claws with sharp claws firmly clung to the low hill, and a faint mist emerged from the dense black scales on its body. A pair of beast pupils were full of the cruelty of a predator, and were staring at Caron covetously.

Obviously, this snake lizard-like monster regarded the red dragon as its prey.

The red dragon was a little surprised, and then thought that he was now tightly locking all his breath and magic energy in his body, and in the eyes of these beasts, he was just an ordinary monster that was tall.

If this ability to converge breath and energy is combined with some shadow stealth spells, Caron can completely become an incredibly terrifying red dragon assassin.

Moreover, in Caron's inherited knowledge, there was also an example of a red dragon becoming an assassin. Imagine, a red dragon sneaks up to your side, and then suddenly bursts out, that kind of horror is no less than the horror of being approached by aLegendary warrior.

Caron shook his head. Although his time is almost infinite, his energy is limited. It is impossible to study shadow spells again. He only needs to roughly understand it in the future.

He looked at the snake lizard monster. The snake lizard monster was spitting out a forked tongue, searching for the relevant pheromones of the red monster in front of him.

But the monster in front of him was like a stone on the ground, a tree in the forest. It didn't collect any information, and could only capture some weak smells, which was a faint smell of sulfur.

The snake lizard monster, which had slightly developed wisdom, suddenly raised its head like a lizard, but with a single horn growing on it, and was stunned for a while. It seemed to realize something was wrong, turned around, and wanted to escape while wagging its thick tail.

Caron unhurriedly took out a gold coin from under his scales, but after thinking about it, he put the gold coin back in his hand and took out a copper coin.

This copper coin was spinning around at Caron's fingertips. Driven by Caron's magic power, it suddenly flew towards the fleeing one-horned snake lizard monster with a whistling sound that pierced the air, and instantly caught up with the one-horned snake lizard that was sprinting with its four limbs.

The black mist between the scales of the one-horned snake lizard suddenly became rich, like a cold air wanting to freeze and corrode the copper coin that was coming.

But the next second, this copper coin with a whistling sound quietly turned in the air and directly nailed into the beast pupil of the one-horned snake lizard, penetrating the head with one blow, bringing blood and white all over the ground.

This is a magical method that Caron himself tried to develop by using the magic of moving objects and mental power. Caron named this magic object manipulation magic.

Now it seems that although the power of this magic cannot see how high the limit is, it is still very convenient to clean up this kind of small fry.

Caron even envisioned in his research that if he was besieged one day, maybe he could fly all the gold coins hidden in his scales to strike the enemy, then, this spell should be renamed all-or-nothing.

The copper coin stained with blood flew back to Caron's body. Caron looked at the copper coin with some disgust. He wanted to throw away the copper coin stained with fishy and smelly blood, but the red dragon's instinct 'controlled' him.

A spray of water spurted out from between Caron's fingers, washing the copper coin clean. This is an improved version of the cloud and mist technique after sub-brain cluster analysis.

Ordinary mages can only gather a cloud of mist when using this spell, but in Caron's hands, the cloud and mist technique can gather the surrounding water vapor and then extract it for use as clean water.

Caron hid the cleaned copper coin in the gaps in his scales. This is a technique that every dragon can easily master. Some dragons who are not very wealthy use this to store all their belongings on their bodies, such as that poor ghost red dragon, Cadilos.

Then Caron walked to the one-horned snake lizard whose head was pierced but its body was still shaking and twitching, picked up the tail of this monster, and dragged its body back towards the outpost camp.

Although he is not very hungry, this one-horned snake lizard has stepped into the ranks of monsters, and the blood and flesh essence on its body is very beneficial to the young dragon.

And it would be nice to share some blood and meat with those familiar soldiers, and it would be nice for each familiar to get a sip of meat soup. Anyway, Caron didn't kill this one-horned snake lizard because he thought it was too ugly.

However, before leaving, Caron's eyes glanced intentionally or unintentionally over this jungle. In the depths of this jungle, on a tall pine tree, stood an owl with a white beak, yellow claws, and black-brown feathers.

This owl looks ordinary, like an ordinary owl, and there are no magic fluctuations or abnormal aura on its body, but a pair of eyes are particularly agile, as if the body of the owl hides the soul of a wise life.

When Caron's eyes looked over, this ordinary owl quickly restrained the spirituality in its eyes, pretended to be an ordinary owl, spread its wings, and cooed called out.

Caron turned his face expressionlessly, but he wanted to laugh a little in his heart. Owls generally do not spread their wings when they make a sound. They usually spread their wings when facing enemies or prey. At that time, the owl's call is not so peaceful.

"Looks like this is still a novice Druid? They don't seem to have much experience." Caron dragged the basilisk's body and slowly disappeared into the jungle.

The strange owl didn't think she was strange at all. Seeing that Caron's figure had disappeared, she jumped off the treetop, landed, and transformed into a beautiful jungle leopard, disappearing back into the jungle.

However, the fur on this beautiful big cat's butt was slightly bald, as if the wound had healed but new fur hadn't had time to grow back.

After a long time, Caron's figure reappeared in the jungle. He sensed the anima he had left on the female leopard.

Now, Caron had made it a habitual instinct to use anima for defense and to strengthen his attacks. Naturally, the jungle leopard he had scratched also carried this unique energy.

As the sensed location grew farther and farther away, Caron could no longer perceive the specific location of the anima, but he could still sense the general direction and range.

The jungle leopard stopped about two hundred miles west of here. Clearly, that general area was the tribal camp where these creatures, perhaps Druids, were gathered.

Unfortunately, although Druid spells are very similar to transformation spells, they are ultimately not the transformation spells from the Dragon inheritance.

Transformation spells belong to the category of spell application. Druid transformations are more like the wild shape ability obtained through communication with nature. Caron's true vision cannot yet see through the true form of this creature.

Although the gnolls had once fabricated stories about this plane being full of big-breasted, big-buttocked, long-legged white-skinned women to lure out the Red Dragon Kediros, Caron didn't think it was such a coincidence.

The information the mages possessed only indicated that the natives of this plane were a variant of elves, perhaps wood elves.

However, with this information about the gathering place of these native creatures, it would be easier for Caron. Once he completed the exploration with the mages, he would try to contact those native residents, either to conquer or to assimilate them.

Caron's cheeks, covered with tiny thorns, cracked into a grin as he disappeared into the jungle in the twilight.

…

A jungle leopard covered in beautiful patterns moved nimbly through the jungle. Along the way, those thick vines and branches blocking the path automatically parted, as if consciously making way for this beautiful creature.

And everywhere this jungle leopard appeared, a shadow flashed along with its body. Many beasts only felt a breeze passing by their side, never imagining that there was a creature hidden in the shadows.

This jungle leopard was extremely fast, and soon ran more than two hundred miles, arriving at a camp surrounded by giant ancient trees.

These giant ancient trees sensed the aura of shadow lurking. Faces like human faces emerged from the ancient trees, and thick branches twisted, as if guarding against danger.

The jungle leopard quickly leaped out of the shadows, rolled forward, and transformed into a tall female elf with green hair and a glowing green skin.

"Oh, it's little Aiya," one of the particularly tall ancient trees guarding the camp made an old voice, "Come in quickly, the Great Elder is worried about you at this moment."

As he spoke, the human-like faces on these tall ancient trees disappeared back into the tree trunks, as if they had never appeared.

The female elf named Aiya nodded to the surrounding ancient trees, and then responded to the tallest ancient tree: "Okay, Elder Anbu, I happen to have something to ask the Great Elder!"

The tallest ancient tree received a response, and its face also sank into the tree trunk. Aiya stepped into the tribe.

There were also many tall trees in the tribe, and some elves with green hair and white skin with a hint of green walked under these trees.

Among them, the tallest giant tree had a trunk tens of meters thick. Looking up, the canopy of this giant tree almost covered the entire sky!

All the trees in the tribe grew in the shade of this giant tree. This giant tree already had the demeanor of the legendary sacred object of the elves in the main plane, the Elven World Tree.

On the trunk of this giant tree, the elves followed the naturally growing tree holes and branch veins on the giant tree, and built wooden houses of various sizes.

Layers of wooden steps spiraled around the giant tree's body. The elf Aiya did not greet the other members of her clan, but instead climbed along the spiraling steps, all the way to the top of the giant tree.

There was a simple but spacious wooden house there. The elf Aiya covered her butt and pushed open the door of the tree house.

In the tree house, sat an elf who looked very young.
