Kalon's Dragon Nest was very clean; due to the Red Dragon's inhabitation, the normally dark and damp mountain interior was now dry and warm, with bones for grinding teeth piled in some corners.
In the corners covered with bone fragments, a small number of dragon blooded Scarlet Flame Grass grew; this magical herb, clear as blood tinted glass , was nurtured by the dragon blood that dripped when the Red Dragon ground his teeth and shed his scales.
It emitted a warm glow, which was also one of the sources of the increased temperature in the cave.
This was a part of the Dragon Nest effect, where the longer Dragons stayed in one place, the greater the impact they would have on the surrounding environment and ecology.
A Legendary Dragon's Dragon Nest effect could even easily change the topography and weather of a place, affecting all creatures living near the Dragon Nest.
Under the Dragon's might and bloodline radiation of a Legendary Dragon, many half-Dragon species could even be born near the Dragon Nest.
Many beasts and monsters would also mutate into powerful creatures possessing the corresponding Draconic characteristics, and these creatures were also one of the sources of many Dragons slaves/servents.
However, Kalon was still just a Young Dragon, and the effect of his Dragon Nest was limited to his own cave.
Upon discovering this spontaneous diffusive influence he carried, Kalon, who was somewhat obsessive about controlling himself, had been trying to actively control these latent power emissions, but so far, the results had been minimal.
"Kalon, Kalon, can I come in?" Camid called out from outside Kalon's cave, poking his head in.
A Dragon's Dragon Nest was an extremely important private space for Dragons; casually entering another Dragon's cave would be considered a provocation.
Even Camid, who often went with Kalon to the forest for private meals and was very familiar with him, did not dare to casually enter Kalon's space.
"Come in, Camid," the Red Dragon's voice echoed through the long passage, making White Dragon camid somewhat hesitant to enter the Red Dragon's Dragon Nest.
However, he still shook his head and stepped into the passage; having spent a long time with the Red Dragon, Camid knew that the Red Dragon was usually a very easy-going Dragon.
Unlike Klenaya, who had a bad temper and would constantly bare her fangs and claws, wanting to beat up Dragons.
Kalon was quietly resting in his cave; when he wasn't hunting or engaging in activities with the Young Dragon, the Red Dragon appeared exceptionally calm.
And calmness was something the constantly restless Red Dragon bloodline detested, but it was also something Kalon needed to do.
"What's the matter, Camid? You don't seem like a Dragon who would just wander into my Dragon Nest out of curiosity."
The Red Dragon did not get up; the interactions between these Young Dragon were very casual, so he asked while idly flicking his flexible tail, trying to tie different knots.
White Dragon camid first observed the environment around the Red Dragon with a curious expression; compared to other Young Dragon who just casually dug a hole, Kalon's meticulously excavated, spacious, and tidy cave gave him the idea to imitate it, as such a Dragon Nest would be more comfortable to live in.
Then Camid chuckled, "Kalon, do you know? Antagena got beaten up."
Kalon's face showed no expression; he lazily said, "Is such a small matter worth you coming specifically to find me? It's just a fight between Young Dragon; Camid, aren't you often beaten up too?"
"She wasn't beaten by other Dragons. Antagena was beaten up by two Crow People outside. She's very angry, but she's too embarrassed to come to you herself."
Camid's face, covered with small white scales, clearly showed some schadenfreude; the Green Dragon usually looked down on the White Dragon, who was the weakest among the Five-Colored Dragons, so Camid naturally didn't have much affection for the Green Dragon.
"Beaten by Crow People?" Kalon's small red scales between his brows furrowed.
Ever since Kalon first led the Young Dragon on a hunt, the activity range of these Young Dragon was no longer limited to the Dragon Nest Canyon, but began to spread into the forest.
And Green Dragon Antagena was driven away from the Crow People's settlement after encountering Crow People who had built their nests in the forest while wandering there, and was beaten and driven away by a small Crow People tribe.
These variants of Beastmen, rumored to have originated from ancient Beastmen and extraordinary magical creatures, were naturally irritable and loved to caw loudly. Even with intelligence that wild beasts in the wilderness did not possess, they could not suppress the Crow People's irritable temper.
"This needs to be seen. These Crow People really have a lot of guts." Kalon got up, motioning for the White Dragon to exit the cave.
The Green Dragon was currently cleaning her wounds by the pond in the canyon; the Crow People had created several wounds on the Green Dragon's back, and several pieces of her beautiful, dense scales, like green emeralds, were torn open.
The Green Dragon couldn't lick the wounds on her back herself, and she didn't want other Dragons to help.
The other Young Dragon were active in the canyon, watching the Green Dragon's misfortune, and even Klenaya, who had a good relationship with the Green Dragon, looked gleeful.
Dragons were always like this; they would only think that Antagena was too weak and small, and would mock the Green Dragon's failure.
This was also why Dragons, whether gregarious or not, possessed a great sense of self-identity and independence, because they were inherently influenced by the inherited traditions of their predecessors, to a greater or lesser extent.
"This is not worth mocking," the Red Dragon stood in the middle of the canyon, his tone serious towards the Young Dragon, "The Green Dragon is part of our Dragon, and her failure also means that the interests of our group are harmed. This is something our Dragon cannot tolerate. Let's go, follow me, Antagena. I will take you to teach those blind Crow People, who do not recognize the master of this land, a lesson."
The Green Dragon's beautiful eyes lit up, and she followed the turning Red Dragon and White Dragon.
Klenaya and the rest of the Young Dragon looked at each other, then drooped their tails and followed.
The Crow People's tree nest was not very far from the Dragon's Dragon Nest, about dozens of miles to the west, but currently, the Dragon's activities had not extended that far.
Because Akzi was only a Young Dragon, most of his energy was focused on the relatively easy-to-observe and control grassland, and the rest of the Young Dragon were actually still in a protected state.
Akzi only hoped that these Young Dragon would be more stable in the Dragon Nest, and had no further demands on them.
The Crow People's tree nest was built on a very tall, broad-leaved tree, and the thick branches beneath the tree nest were enough for every Young Dragon to stand steadily.
When Kalon landed on the branches of the tree crown, the Young Dragon also landed one by one, surrounding the unprepared Crow People.
These Crow People, with their mottled feathers, sharp beaks, and claws, cawed shrilly, but hesitated to attack rashly.
They could boldly drive away one Young Dragon, but now there were seven Young Dragon, a situation the Crow People had not anticipated.
Moreover, the warlike Klenaya was already looking for her hunting target, and the other Young Dragon had also assumed attacking stances, just as Kalon had said, the Young Dragons were now a whole.
The leading Crow Person's hoarse voice rang out, "Young Dragons, we have no intention of fighting you. We have lived here for decades, and before, we merely drove the Green Dragona way from our dwelling."
Kalon ignored the Crow Person; he was now a Red Dragon, one of the Five-Colored Dragons, not those benevolent Metal Dragon.
Besides, even benevolent Metal Dragon would not compromise when facing territories they were destined to conquer.
"Antagena, go, cut off the wings of the Crow People who harmed you, and tear their claws to shreds." Kalon raised his head; at this moment, it was like the famous painting "You go give him two slaps".jpg.
The Green Dragon asked somewhat confusedly, "Kalon, why not just kill all these Crow People?"
Not only did the Green Dragon want to kill these Crow People, but the Red dragon blood within Kalon's body was also eager, and the flames of destruction were already brewing without Kalon's conscious thought.
But Kalon felt that even his body's instinctive impulses needed to obey his will, and not influence his thoughts.
He wanted every decision and action to stem from his own thought and will; he needed absolute control of his will over his body. So he restrained the Red Dragon's destructive evil thoughts and dispersed the Dragon's tyrannical Dragonfire.
He glanced at the expectant Green Dragon and declared righteously, "Antagena, if the Dragon wants to rule the land, they should not bring destruction casually. However, I hope you come back here to see after you have enough strength. If there are still creatures that do not obey the Dragon, then I hope to see their heads among your spoils."
The Green Dragon Antagena's slender eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous glint.
