Under the Red Dragon

The cave grew dim, with only the bright, vibrant red scales on Caron's body emitting a faint glow in the darkness, like a large, dim red lantern.

Caron lay silently in the cave, his powerful adaptability having fully adjusted to his current life.

However, he still missed the world where lights shone brightly every night, the interwoven lights even outshining the stars in the sky, but that was a thing of the past.

He suddenly thought of a topic he had once seen: if an animal's body contained a human soul, would it be considered an animal or a human?

In Caron's eyes, this topic wasn't worth dwelling on. Whether in an animal's body or a human's body, he was still himself; he was both human and dragon.

After a long while, he sighed and closed his eyes. In a world without electronic entertainment and exciting nightlife, time passed so slowly.

Caron had good reason to suspect that the so-called young dragons spent most of their time asleep not because they needed to sleep to grow, but because they were bored.

After all, dragons only needed to enter a deep sleep when crossing age milestones to digest inheritances and awaken the talent treasures within their bloodline. At other times, they could move around and grow freely, just like humans.

Young dragons couldn't roam around like adult dragons before they had enough ability to protect themselves, so they could only sleep to pass this long growth period.

However, there was one thing Caron was very satisfied with: he didn't have to get up early anymore.

Caron, who could sleep until late morning every day, lazily crawled out of his nest as usual, squinting as he looked at the sun, which was already high in the sky.

Then, Caron waddled out, planning to take a stroll in the forest outside the dragon's nest.

He had been cooped up in the dragon's nest for a while and was getting bored. Exploring a bit would also allow him to treat himself.

The canyon was quiet now; the young dragons were obviously sleeping in their respective caves. The time when Akz would come to feed them in the evening was when the young dragons were active.

Only two white dragons were lying beside the pond, sunbathing. When they saw Caron wanting to go out, Germot quickly stopped him. "Caron, Akz said it's not recommended for us to go out casually. Although we are dragons, there are still many wild animals that can harm us. The dense jungle can also obstruct a dragon's vision, and Akz can't guarantee that the forest is absolutely safe."

"It's okay, I'll just explore near the dragon's nest and won't go far. This area should be safe."

Caron smiled. Although the blue dragon Callit stayed in the nest and didn't randomly release dragon威 (dragon's might), this place had long been an unapproachable forbidden zone for other powerful creatures when the dragons built their nest. Only weak animals remained as usual.

The other white dragon, Camid, got up. "Caron, I'll go with you." Camid's thin body looked somewhat malnourished in front of Caron. "Maybe I can help."

The two dragons walked out of the canyon one after the other, while the white dragon Germot, unable to dissuade them, continued to lie down and sunbathe.

As soon as he stepped into the forest, Caron clearly felt the difference in temperature.

Trees averaging the thickness of several people's embrace and dozens of meters high had lush branches and leaves. The huge canopy blocked the sunlight, noticeably reducing visibility compared to the outside.

The white dragon, who liked to stay in cold areas, revealed a comfortable expression. The slightly cool air in the forest was a refreshing breeze for the white dragon.

The two young dragons carefully avoided the direction of the water flow and moved towards the forest, stepping on the thick layer of fallen leaves, turning over and exposing the fertile black soil underneath.

The forest beside the mountain range was extremely quiet, and even some small animals were rarely seen. Only occasionally were birds startled by the dragon威 (dragon's might) that the white dragon Camid hadn't yet mastered, flying away from above the trees.

After walking about a few miles, a fat, white, and tender worm was suddenly startled and crawled out of the rotten soil.

Camid lowered his head and stuck out his tongue like a lizard catching mosquitoes, nimbly wrapping the worm in his mouth, biting down, and splashing out a bit of white juice.

Watching the white dragon's enjoying expression, Caron raised his claw and slapped the white dragon's head. "You're so useless, you even eat this kind of worm," Caron said, and couldn't help but stick out his flexible tongue and lick his lips, asking, "How does it taste?"

"Hehe, delicious." Camid nodded honestly.

Very good, Caron stretched out his claws, stuck out his butt, and started digging on the ground with the white dragon. He didn't have the so-called arrogance of a dragon. Eating was nothing to be ashamed of.

The worms that liked to hide under the fallen leaves and rotten soil were in great trouble today. Living in the dense forest for a long time, they had few natural enemies, so they grew white and fat.

Each worm was as long as a palm, and when bitten, juice splashed out, like eating soup dumplings. The taste was very good, and the two dragons ate happily.

"Yo-ho, dragons who like to eat worms." A burst of laughter came from the forest, from far to near.

Caron, who was squatting down and engrossed in digging, felt a shadow flash above his eyes. Alert, he subconsciously turned his head to look.

His excellent dynamic capture ability allowed him to see a miniature creature with gossamer-like butterfly wings flying past, carrying a meteor tail-like or rain-like sparkling stardust behind it.

The white dragon Camid also heard the movement and looked around vigilantly.

This creature obviously had curiosity about the dragon's behavior but was also a bit timid and shy, flying behind a tree branch and hiding, revealing its upper body, with a pair of eyes rolling around.

Caron then saw the creature's face clearly.

This creature was about a foot tall and emitted a full moon-like glow. It had two pairs of gossamer wings like butterflies on its back, and a petal skirt was hollowed out at the abdomen, revealing a delicate navel.

An acorn cap was worn on its head, and the pixie girl's round little face was full of curiosity.

"Forest sprite?" Caron exclaimed in surprise with a dragon face.

"The dragon is wrong, Raven is not a forest sprite, Raven is a pixie." The pixie Raven didn't seem very satisfied with being called a forest sprite, and flew out from behind the tree branch.

A pair of naked, white and tender little feet stepped on the moss covered with branches, and a pair of round little hands patted the chest that the petal skirt couldn't completely cover.

Caron's eyes rolled, remembering the magical creature called a pixie. Female pixies were also called magic fairies, had considerable magical abilities, were friendly to plants, and in Caron's eyes were very useful plantation masters.

The stardust behind the pixie, like a tail flame, was called fairy dust. A small amount of fairy dust could grant the ability to fly, and it could also confuse enemies and make them fall asleep. This was a natural magical phenomenon.

Moreover, they also had a natural ability to become invisible, and rarely appeared when they didn't want to be seen, which proved that the sprite in front of him was well-intentioned.

Moreover, pixies liked to seek pleasure and make friends everywhere, regardless of the species. As long as they didn't have malice towards the pixie, they would be friendly.

So Caron used his dragon claw to pick up a worm and smiled very friendly to the sprite on the tree, "Well then, pixie Raven, would you like one?"

"Not really," Raven looked at the squirming worm that was almost a third of her size, and her delicate little face wrinkled into a ball, "This thing is too scary, Raven doesn't eat this."

"Okay," Caron sighed feigning regret, "It seems I can't entertain my new friend."

"Do you want to be friends with Raven?" The pixie's wrinkled little face suddenly became cheerful, and her little feet bounced on the branch.

After a while, she stopped, leaned forward, put her hands behind her back, and said softly, "But Raven doesn't know your name yet."

"Just call me Caron." The red dragon was planning that maybe he could subdue the pixie race as a family member in the future. Strength was not the most important thing in his eyes. No matter how strong a family member was, it was impossible to be stronger than himself.

Being useful to him was fundamental, and whether it was strong or not was just a version, whether it was beautiful or not was a lifetime thing.

As a visitor from another world, he saw it more comprehensively. These pixies with considerable magical abilities and natural plant affinity could play a big role in agricultural production.

If used for combat, that would be the wrong path. Thinking of Raven and her clan wielding small hoes like fire, the red dragon felt a sense of evil pleasure being satisfied in his heart.

"My name is Camid." The white dragon, who had been silently following behind, also took the initiative to speak with Caron's approval.

"Caron, great, and Camid, then we will be friends from now on!"

The happy pixie flapped her wings and flew down from the tree, stopped in front of Caron and stretched out her white and tender little arms, a pair of round, black and black eyes staring at Caron.

The red dragon tacitly stretched out a claw and let Raven hold it. "Yes, we will be good friends forever." The red dragon deliberately emphasized his tone with malicious intent, revealing a mouthful of grinning white teeth.

"Yo-ho, then I can go back and show off to the other pixies that I have made powerful dragon friends who will be very powerful in the future."

Raven's small figure happily circled around Caron, and the butterfly wings on her back made a buzzing sound.

"By the way, I know where there are delicious things in the forest, follow me Caron, and Camid, just as my treat to new friends."
