Under the Red Dragon

"Roar,"

The young red dragon, who had buried his head under his broad wings and curled up to sleep with his claws holding the tail spread under his jaw, slowly opened his eyes.

Karon lazily stretched his red wings, which were covered in magic patterns, and yawned, unintentionally flicking his tail, spraying a burst of intense sparks from his mouth and nose.

The scales on the young red dragon's body had become the size of an ordinary adult human's palm, and the color of the scales was also the softest period in the red dragon's life, transitioning from the bright scarlet of infancy to a deep crimson.

The scales all over his body were scarlet with a soft metallic luster, emitting a faint halo in the somewhat dim volcano lair, like a shining treasure in the deep magma.

Karon floated up from the surging molten flow, shaking off the dried magma clumps that clung to his body. These clumps slid off Karon's smooth scales along with the dark red magma, splashing up nests of radiating blazing molten flow.

The red dragon, connected to the field fluctuation of the entire lair, had already discovered the adolescent blue dragon Akzi waiting below the summit.

In fact, even without the field, Karon knew that if there was a single dragon's aura lingering outside his lair, it must be the adolescent blue dragon Akzi.

Because the other young dragons would directly step onto the summit, although they would not enter the red dragon's lair, they would also yell and shout to wake Karon up, because these young dragons were familiar enough with Karon and had become accustomed to this way of getting along.

Karon usually wouldn't deliberately display the so-called majesty of the dragon pack leader, he thought this behavior seemed a bit foolish.

And the young dragons in the pack also knew very well that as long as they didn't touch Karon's will and decisions, the red dragon was actually a very easy-going dragon, he was more approachable than those so-called good dragons.

The red dragon was often more like a young elder brother to all the young dragons in this dragon family, powerful and tolerant enough, but with a wicked personality that was bad enough, well, to the extent that these bad-tempered five-colored dragons all thought it was bad enough.

Only the adolescent blue dragon Akzi, when he came alone, would always patiently wait for Karon to appear below the summit. This was not because the adolescent blue dragon had high quality. It was ridiculous to ask a five-colored dragon to be polite, like asking a dwarven blacksmith to embroider.

Rather, the adolescent blue dragon always seemed to have some difficulty integrating into the core atmosphere of the dragon群(dragon group), he didn't grow up, play, hunt, fight, and experience hardships together with the other young dragons since childhood.

The other young dragons didn't intentionally alienate the blue dragon Akzi either, this was the influence of the atmosphere formed naturally. The adolescent blue dragon Akzi was only most familiar with the white dragon Gemot.

He usually appeared at the same time as the white dragon Gemot when the dragon group gathered, perhaps the blue dragon Akzi, like the black dragon Rosani, hadn't found his place in the dragon群(dragon group) yet.

So he was particularly respectful and in awe of of Karon, the dragon pack leader, and Karon keenly noticed this.

The red dragon shook off the debris on his body, restrained his broad wings, stepped to the edge of the summit, watching the blue dragon Akzi's quiet waiting figure, the scales on his body shimmering with fascinating brilliance in the setting sun.

His body shone brightly in the sunlight, but his head and eyes, facing away from the sun, were in dim shadow.

The blue dragon Akzi looked up at the increasingly huge red dragon, the scales on his body blooming with soft and smooth luster, thick and neat, like the most perfect gem in the world. Under the red dragon's unknowingly but increasingly powerful pressure, the blue dragon Akzi actually had an irrelevant but strange enough idea in his mind at this time.

"If the scales on Karon's body were sold to those greedy human merchants, one piece might be worth at least two thousand gold coins." The dragon's innate talent for appraising the value of treasures was reflected in the blue dragon. The thought that flashed through the blue dragon's mind began to subconsciously calculate the value of all the scales on the red dragon's body.

"Come forward, Akzi, stand shoulder to shoulder with me," the red dragon lowered his head, calmly watching the blue dragon Akzi, whose mind was full of flashing golden glory.

In Karon's heart, the blue dragon in front of him was also an extremely special dragon. When the dragon群(dragon group) was still in its infancy and didn't have enough ability to hunt alone, it was this blue dragon who alone guarded and fed the young ones.

The nominal dragon群(dragon group) leader Kalite didn't actually put in much effort, except for initially conquering this territory with the blue dragon Akzi, she nested in her lair to sleep, and by the way hatch those dragon eggs that she didn't know whether she picked up or stole.

Most of the time, Akzi was maintaining the territory, so Akzi changed from a lazy and pleasure-seeking five-colored dragon into the world's only model dragon.

Compared to this, the adolescent blue dragon Akzi was more like a dragon family leader than the female blue dragon Kalite.

In his opinion, this transformation was more difficult than a dragon embarking on the road to revive the bloodline of the previous generation. Even Karon himself sometimes couldn't overcome his lazy thoughts, even though Karon could easily control the will of the evil dragon's blood.

But laziness was not a characteristic only possessed by the evil dragon's blood, but a universality that every creature has. The evil dragon's blood would amplify it, so it can be seen that the blue dragon Akzi was actually moving towards the road of conquer the evil dragon's blood in some ways.

The adolescent blue dragon Akzi crossed the boundary of dreamlike state, stepped onto the summit, and then stood a few steps behind Karon. Akzi, like the other young dragons, was not rejected by dreamlike state.

After passing through the sleep period of the young dragon and adolescent age, the blue dragon Akzi has also been developing.

Although the speed of physical development and growth is not as rapid as in the young and juvenile period, the adolescent stage is the last stage in most dragons' lives that can develop rapidly.

When they reach the youth stage, the dragon's physical development will gradually slow down, and begin to shift towards digging the bloodline talent inheritance.

Most ordinary dragons may only awaken one or two spells during this relatively long stage from young to youth.

But once they reach the youth age, no matter how poor their talent is, they can use the evil dragon's blood to accelerate the awaken of corresponding spells. Every young dragon can be called a magical all-rounder.

However, the talent spells that dragons awaken are quite subjective. For example, dragons with strong aggressiveness are very likely to awaken spells that can cause great damage.

And dragons with relatively peaceful personalities tend to awaken spells that are more inclined to control and practicality, but in any case, the spells that each dragon awaken are in line with the dragon's nature, and these spells are far more terrible in the hands of dragons than the same spells released by other mages.

This is also one of the reasons why dragons are at the top of the food chain. Although dragons also have a sufficiently weak young period, human adventurers can also overturn the dragons in the young period if there are enough of them who are good at using tools and conspiracies.

However, the growth and strength increase of dragons are disproportionate. When they reach a certain key stage, the dragon's strength will suddenly increase like an explosion.

Like the dragons in the youth stage, the dragons with strong talent at the peak of this age are enough to contend legends, and have the strength to destroy kingdoms. Of course, this is only achieved by dragons with exceptional talent.

Some young white dragons are still being enslaved by frost giants, or being chased around by human adventurers. In short, the youth stage is the watershed of dragon strength, the strong become stronger, and the weak become weaker.

The adolescent blue dragon Akzi certainly knew this. If it were an ordinary evil dragon, it might re challenge Karon's position as the leader of the dragon群(dragon group) after reaching the youth stage, but the blue dragon Akzi did not have this idea.

During the rapid development and growth period of the adolescent stage, Akzi's body had reached more than fourteen meters. Blue dragons are not dragons with slender bodies like white dragons and black dragons.

So Akzi's body is now extremely strong, especially the huge, thick horn growing between the head above the nose, which looks particularly deterrent.

But Akzi standing next to Karon felt as if he was shrouded by the red dragon in front of him. The huge wings, which far exceeded the usual dragon ratio and did not conform to the norm, seemed so wide that the blue dragon could hide under them to resist the storm.

“Akzi, when did you learn those human-like etiquette, ha,” Karon swept the quiet adolescent blue dragon's eyes and said casually.

"Karon, you are the dragon pack leader, the supreme ruler of the Golden Land, the monarch of this land, and you deserve the respect and awe of everyone, even dragons are no exception," the blue dragon Akzi said calmly.

The status and ranks between dragons have always been particularly distinct. In some particularly strict dragon families, if a dragon with a lower status shows the slightest disrespect to a dragon with a higher status, it may even lead to the ruthless killing of the dragon with a higher status.

Even blue dragons who like to live in groups have a clear division of labor in their families. The young dragons in the dragon群(dragon group) also experienced this on the blue dragon Akzi in their young period. At that time, Akzi was proud and aloof.

Even Karon's flattering was difficult to move the blue dragon Akzi's attitude.

The red dragon watched the blue dragon Akzi's calm eyes, shook his head, and patted the blue dragon's broad shoulders with his thick claws, and said in a deep voice: "There is no need to pay too much attention to these red tape between dragon群(dragon group)s, tell me, Akzi, what are you here for."

"The gnoll tribe escorted by the centaur warriors has arrived, but the original leader of the gnoll tribe, the gnoll named Yugu, said that he would dedicate the treasure trove in the tribe to the dragon,"

"Heh, I saw something called ambition in that gnoll's eyes. He is different from ordinary gnolls, he is very smart, Karon." The blue dragon Akzi's pupils flashed with sea-like shimmering light, revealing a rather interested expression.

Karon nodded. Although he had only met the gnoll leader Yugu once in a short time, the gnoll whose social structure was as loose as green-skinned goblins could condense into such a powerful combat-capable and well-organized tribe, this gnoll Yugu was not simple.

"Originally, I didn't have the idea of confiscating the wealth of the gnoll tribe, but since he proactively proposed to dedicate it to the dragon群(dragon group), I will not refuse. I will give him a chance to see how much value this gnoll Yugu's ambition can create for me. I hope his ability matches his ambition."

"It seems that the dragon群(dragon group)'s treasure trove can be supplemented with some fresh stuff."

The red dragon smiled and revealed his thick, white fangs. As a superior, he would not fear and undermine the ambition of his subordinates. He even expected those dragon dependents to have their own ambition.

Having ambition means having motivation, and Karon will guide the motivation brought by these ambition to drive in the right direction.

And Karon would not be afraid of betrayal and other small actions, he is a red dragon, he can overlook these dependents, as long as he is always on the summit.

"Well, then I'll go patrol the territory," the blue dragon Akzi stretched his wings, preparing to take off.

The red dragon opened his right wing and stopped this blue dragon who was so diligent that he was a bit out of tune with the five-colored evil dragon, and smiled: "Akzi, since the beginning of the dragon群(dragon group) agreement, you have been a member of the dragon群(dragon group),"

"These gnoll's wealth also belongs to you, go, summon the dragon群(dragon group) for me, today is a small feast for the dragons, and the treasure of the gnoll will adorn our lair!"

The adolescent blue dragon Akzi looked at the red dragon, then nodded, soared from the summit, and the blue lightning shuttled through the steaming hot wind and thick smoke clouds like a free wind.

"Roar," the adolescent blue dragon's broad wings soared in the sky, roaring loudly, the dragon's voice rumbling, like rolling thunder spreading in all directions.

This is the signal for the dragon群(dragon group) to gather in the past. The blue dragon Akzi, today, is summoning the dragon群(dragon group)!
