Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 101 Evil Dragon Blood
"The noble red dragon, the supreme master of the gnoll tribe,"

The nearly four-meter-tall gnoll leader Yougu crouched at the feet of the red dragon with his head lowered like a weak young animal. He knew that it was difficult to hide his thoughts and intentions from the clever red dragon in front of him, so he simply stated them directly.

"I hope to receive a blessing from you and become a dragon descendant like that centaur. After I become a dragon descendant, I will definitely be more powerful than that centaur. I will become the most powerful warrior who implements the will of the dragon."

"I will prove my ability to you and will not disgrace the glory of the noble dragon blood. I long for the same favor and honor as the Centaur warriors!"

The gnoll leader Yougu raised his head slightly, and looked eagerly at the layer of dense scarlet scales covering his full muscles, which was a distinctive feature of the dragon race.

Becoming a dragonborn not only means having greater power, but also a longer lifespan, although the increased lifespan varies greatly between different individuals.

But even the weakest green-skinned goblins and ogres can increase their lifespan by at least one hundred and fifty years. Among those races with strong physical fitness and bloodlines, it is not uncommon to increase their lifespan by more than a thousand years.

The average natural lifespan of a gnoll is approximately between thirty-five and forty years. Every gnoll is considered an adult at the age of six to eight, and enters the middle-aged and elderly stage after the age of twenty-five.

Therefore, although the gnoll Yougu is still at the peak of his growth, he is far stronger than other gnolls and possesses power that most gnolls will never be able to achieve in their lifetime.

But as long as he does not break through the barrier of the essence of life, he will enter the cycle of decline and death like other ordinary werewolves, and it cannot be changed.

Perhaps he could rely on his great strength and talent to survive longer than ordinary werewolves, but he would not be able to live forever in this world.

This is the obstacle and sorrow of the short-lived species. Even if the current werewolf leader Yugu can easily challenge and defeat ordinary juvenile five-colored dragons, it is difficult to stop the pace of time from stagnating for him.

This is also the unique advantage of dragons. Even if some short-lived races can surpass dragons in the early stages, it is nothing. The dragon race emphasizes late-stage development.

Of course, even the weakest young dragon cannot be offended by ordinary races.

And now the gnoll Yougu is already sixteen years old, which is the peak of adulthood for the gnoll race. In a few years, he will enter a period of decline.

Therefore, he longed to become a dragon descendant like the Centaur Chiron, to prolong his peak, hoping to continue to break through in the days to come.

The gnoll leader Yougu had defeated the black dragon Rosani before but was not in a hurry to kill him. On the one hand, it was because he was afraid of the power of the dragons. On the other hand, the gnolls more or less wanted to use the living dragons and bathe in their real blood to strengthen themselves.

However, although the Gnoll Chief is smarter than ordinary Gnolls, he does not know that Dragonborn is not so easy to create. The true blood of each dragon is highly corrosive and poisonous to creatures of other races.

If he dares to bathe in the black dragon's evil dragon blood, not only will he not get the strengthening he imagined, but he will be tortured by the corrosion and toxicity of the evil dragon's blood. Maybe he can survive with his great strength, but he will probably enter a cycle of decline ahead of time.

Although the black dragon Rosani was not very powerful, the true blood of the evil dragon was far superior to the rancid blood of the gnolls. Therefore, stories about bathing in dragon blood to obtain the blood and physique of a dragonborn and then becoming a powerful warrior would only appear in boring stories.

As soon as the werewolf leader Yougu finished speaking, the most powerful red dragon in front of him had no reaction, but the group of dragons that were originally excited about getting the treasure suddenly changed their faces, showing their sharp fangs, and growled at the werewolf leader Yougu who was lying on the ground.

"You lowly reptile, how dare you covet the true blood of a giant dragon? I will crush you to death," the female red dragon Clenaya swallowed her treasure into her stomach in one gulp, and rushed forward with her fangs bared.

The furious female dragon completely ignored the fact that the jackals in front of her had just presented her with treasures, and stepped into the kneeling jackals with her huge body, directly trampling to death several jackals who dared not react. Then she directly knocked the jackal leader Yugu to the ground.

This action fully exposes the evil nature of these dragons. Even if you have made some contributions to these dragons in the last second, once their interests are touched, these dragons will turn against you in an instant.

These dragons are only particularly different when facing a group of dragons, but to the outside world, they will always be the representatives of evil blood.

If Charon had not made a decision, Clenaya would have torn the werewolf into pieces. However, the little female dragon still refused to give up. She stepped directly on the body of the werewolf Yugu and held the werewolf down with her thick and long claws.

"Let me kill him, this arrogant reptile should become a piece of meat in my mouth," the black dragon Rossani's cold eyes were filled with murderous intent. He walked up and sharpened his fangs beside the red dragon. The biting chill rushed to the back of the werewolf who had not yet figured out the situation.

The green dragon Antajena's bright green eyes were filled with disgust and coldness towards the gnoll's behavior. She approached the huge body of Kalon, almost touching the scales of the red dragon, as if she was acting like a spoiled child with the red dragon.
"Charon, hand over this gnoll and all the gnolls to me. I will use the vines in the forest to pierce the bodies and limbs of these shameful reptiles and let them feel the consequences of offending the dragon."

"Let those lovely pets in the forest, poisonous insects, ants, snakes and scorpions, drill into their bodies through the wounds pierced by the vines and gnaw their flesh and blood until they die. Then I will bury the bodies of these inferior species in the orchard of the dragons, and they will become fertilizer to nourish the orchard."

The voice of the green dragon Antajena is clear and sweet, just like the sweet voice of a young girl, but with a biting viciousness. The vicious nature of the green dragon is revealed in Antajena.

"Let me freeze them all into ice cubes and place them at the foot of the Dragon Nest Mountains. I will control my power so that even if they are frozen, they will not die immediately. They can only watch each other's lives gradually disappear and repent in fear."

The white dragon Gmot sneered. The white dragon especially liked to freeze his prey and defeated enemies into ice cubes and display them as trophies to show his great strength. He also liked to freeze food into ice cubes before eating.

During the years when Charon and the dragons conquered the Carthaginian Empire, countless monsters and humans who came to spy on the dragon territory had been frozen in the lair of the white dragon Gmot. Only creatures that the white dragon liked would be displayed outside the lair.

So if a white dragon takes a fancy to you, don't be too quick to be surprised. It may not necessarily like you, but may just want to collect you as a figurine.

The white dragon Kamide was always a dragon of few words. He did not show his skills to Charon like his brothers did. Instead, he kept sniffing around the shivering werewolves like a hound. The white frost mist gushing from his mouth and nose became thicker and thicker, and accidentally stained several werewolves with traces of frost.

"Hmph, let me use lightning to turn them into charcoal. These stupid reptiles, I can't stand them living even a moment longer," Lightning-like patterns appeared on the wings of the blue dragon Dos, and tiny lightning was restless on his horn, as if he would lose control in the next moment.

The blue dragon Akzi reacted in the same way as Doss, but Akzi had already spread his wings, and obviously had no intention of letting go of any gnoll who dared to escape.

Akzi's eyes had already swept over the gnolls at the edge of the camp, watching their every move. The speed of the blue dragon was second to none among the five-colored dragons. The blue dragon, which controlled the lightning and storms in the sky, could not even match the speed of the golden dragon. However, due to the existence of freaks like Kalon in the dragon group, the blue dragon's advantage was not shown, so the blue dragon was very confident that it would not let go of any gnoll.

Kalon knew why these dragons had such violent reactions, and even wanted to kill the entire tribe of gnolls because of a few simple words from the gnoll leader Yugu. Even the cruel five-colored dragons would not massacre the entire tribe because of a simple offense.

This is because of the method of creating Dragonborn. Every dragon's heritage contains the knowledge of creating its own Dragonborn followers. They all know how to create powerful Dragonborn followers, but in fact, Dragonborn do not appear very often in the world, because ordinary dragons do not create Dragonborn at all.

The appearance of every dragonborn, except for the offspring born from other dragonborn, or the dragonborn born due to some unexpected and unrepeatable reasons, requires the dragon to use its own evil dragon true blood to create.

This kind of evil dragon's true blood is not the ordinary blood flowing in the dragon's body, but the essence born from the condensation of the evil dragon's blood. It is somewhat similar to the human's heart blood, but more important than the human's heart blood.

The dragonborn centaur Chiron, the dragonborn wolf Saha, and the other dragonborns born in the arena were actually just dragonborns formed under some difficult to replicate conditions due to the influence of the dragon's bloodline radiation and resonant nest effect.

Rather than being a dragonborn, it would be more accurate to say that it is a dragon monster, just like the surrounding monsters that were born under the influence of the legendary dragon's lair effect.

Although it was affected by the dragon's blood radiation, it did not have dragon blood itself. It just possessed some of the dragon's physical signs and powers under the strong dragon's blood radiation. Its own blood also underwent some changes under the influence of the dragon and transformed into dragon blood.

The reason why the dragonborn centaur Chiron and the dragonborn werewolf Saha have strong dragonborn characteristics is because they are too close to the red dragon's sleeping place. The influence of the red dragon's resurrected previous generation bloodline under the resonant nest effect is beyond the red dragon's expectations. However, this scene is almost impossible to replicate.

The power of the five-colored evil dragon is closely related to its own evil dragon bloodline. The evil dragon true blood that these young dragons can condense with their current strength is only a dozen drops. Even if they lose a drop of evil dragon true blood, the strength of these young dragons will be affected, and they will fall into a long period of weakness.

Moreover, once an ordinary dragon loses its evil dragon blood, it is almost impossible to replenish it. Even if it enters a stronger rank in the future, the evil dragon blood it condenses is only the new evil dragon blood bred by the increased life level and powerful strength, rather than making up for the old shortcomings.

The true blood of the evil dragon is also related to the dragon's future bloodline potential and talent growth, so almost no dragon would choose to create dragonborn. Even with Charon's current strength, the condensed true blood of the evil dragon is only a few dozen drops.

If he gave his own evil dragon blood to the jackal Yugu in front of him and turned him into a dragon, Charon would also enter a long period of weakness and even have to fall asleep to make up for the consumption of the evil dragon blood.

That's why these young dragons reacted so violently, even wanting to kill the entire werewolf tribe.

In the eyes of the dragons, the gnoll leader Yougu in front of them not only did not know how to advance or retreat, but was also greedy and even dared to covet the giant dragon's evil dragon blood. It would not be a pity even if it meant destroying all the gnolls in the world.

Although Charon's previous generation bloodline is more powerful than other dragons, after consuming the evil dragon's true blood, he can make up for it through sleeping and growth, and he will not suffer any deficiency like ordinary dragons.

But losing the evil dragon's true blood will even affect Charon's growth and evolution potential for a period of time, and in return he will only get a dragon-born follower who is dispensable to the dragon.

Of course, Caron would not make such a rash move. For him, his own growth and potential are more important.

However, Charon realized that once he had finished his juvenile sleep, the red dragon that had grown up again might be able to create some followers at the lowest cost without affecting his own potential and growth.

But Charon decided that even so, he would not easily create a dragonborn. Scarcity makes things valuable, and too casual a gift would make others look down on it and become greedy and unsatisfied.

However, after he grew up again, Charon felt that creating dragonborn with the evil dragon's true blood could also be used as a publicity gimmick for the dragon group.

Only those who create great enough value for the dragon and show enough loyalty can have the glory of [Gift by Blood].

This should arouse the enthusiasm of those monster clans. Perhaps many monsters and clans will take the initiative to join the dragon group. Even among humans, there are many who covet the lifespan of dragons. Some creatures whose lifespan is coming to an end will stop at nothing to prolong their lives.

But he should keep a low profile now. Before the dragons reach a higher level, Charon will not choose to create dragon followers.

As for the gnoll leader Yugu, who dared not move under the claws of the female dragon Clenaya, he did not know the method and price of the dragon to create dragon offspring. Although he had overstepped his boundaries, he was innocent and Kalon would not punish the gnolls and the entire tribe for this.

Charon stopped the anger of the dragons and let them calm down. Then he asked Clenaya to release the werewolf Yugu, who was frightened by the dragons' ability to turn against them at any time.

"Ahem," the gnoll Yugu took a deep breath and spat out the blood that was suppressed in his chest. Even though he was strong enough to challenge the female red dragon Clenaya, his body could not withstand the attack of the dragon, so he was already hurt under Clenaya's claws.

"The Centaur Warrior has proven his loyalty and value to the dragons. He has served the dragons wholeheartedly for a long time. This is a virtue that cannot be measured by treasure. Even if you offer more wealth, you cannot get the same gift and honor as the Centaur Warrior."

The red dragon's lofty head looked down at the humbled gnoll leader Yogu, and his voice was deep and powerful.
"Prove your loyalty to me, and prove your worth to the dragon group, Yougu. When you have made enough contributions to the dragon group, my eyes will naturally be on you, and the dragon group will give you the glory you want!"

"Yes, my supreme master, the noble Lord of the Dragons, the great true dragon!"

The gnoll Yougu rested his forehead on the soft ground and answered respectfully.

The werewolf did not hear the dragon's voice again, but only felt a sudden surge of wind from the ground, and it seemed that all the winds between heaven and earth were gathered at this moment.

The gnoll raised his head and saw that the huge bodies of the dragons with outstretched wings were already far away on the horizon, on the top of the mountain, out of reach.

call,
The gnoll leader Yougu sighed and silently watched the mountains that were gradually shrouded in clouds. The gap between the short-lived species and the long-lived species seemed extremely clear at this moment. In the eyes of a dragon, several years might be enough to prove the loyalty and value of a follower, but in the world of the short-lived species, it was already an extremely huge time leap.

It was not until this moment that the unruly jackal realized that the top of the mountain shrouded in clouds and mist might be a realm that he could never reach even in his eternity.
