Kalon's Dragon Claws finally couldn't resist, and he vigorously scratched his head a few times, only then did he feel that his gradually swelling mind seemed to have calmed down after some kind of ritual.
"Forget it, I'm still very far from that step, and I'm not like those mages who can only rely on magical knowledge. I am a True Dragon that is growing all the time."
Kalon stood up, feeling the gains from absorbing magic and growing during this period. There were two powers similar to the domain of 'All Things Turn to Ash' from his previous bloodline awakening, faintly appearing in his bloodline.
That was the power of earth and metal, and also the bloodline potential that all Red Dragon are born with.
However, not every Red Dragon can activate these two talents like Kalon. An ordinary Red Dragon might only begin to awaken such potential after crossing the boundary of life and becoming an Ancient Red Dragon.
It can only be said that under the 'Overlimit Growth' talent, Kalon gained much more benefits than he imagined, such as the unique Flame Domain that only adult Red Dragon have a chance to possess.
"Perhaps when these two powers are born, when I fight in the future, I can first apply three layers of domains to the enemy. Only if they can withstand it will they be qualified to face me head-on, and I can also become a small Legend." Kalon thought with some joy.
With his kind of power growth, this Red Dragon would basically not care about the group attacks of low-level opponents. Unless their power was stronger than his, they would not be qualified to break through the shackles and challenge him.
If such power continued to grow, it seemed not impossible for a single True Dragon to destroy a nation, as long as Kalon could lie low and develop until he was strong enough.
"However, I seem to lack some powerful escape methods. Although my full-speed flight is much faster than other True Dragon, I will inevitably encounter some opponents much stronger than me."
Although his safety was somewhat guaranteed in his Dragon Nest, the updated weapons of the True Dragon's dependents could also cause great lethality. When they attacked together, even other Young Red Dragon would suffer.
But Kalon would always have to leave the Dragon Nest, or be alone. He couldn't possibly take all the True Dragon and their dependents with him wherever he went, could he?
Kalon frowned at the fine scales between his eyebrows. He was thinking about what kind of escape method would be more reliable to add to himself, to make it convenient for him to slip away when he couldn't defeat the opponent.
Kalon's consciousness sank into his mental ocean. Now that he had returned to this land and reclaimed its rule, the power of psionics provided by his True Dragon continued to increase.
Even the adventurers in those human camps, influenced by Kalon and acknowledging his rule over the area, could more or less draw some psionic power from them.
There were also those ferocious species subdued by the True Dragon, occasionally providing Kalon with some faint psionic power in return.
The accumulated psionic power was now almost enough for Kalon to undergo his next enhancement.
Crack, Kalon threw a chunk of metal fished out of the magma lake into his fanged maw, chewed it lightly, and then swallowed it into his stomach.
These metals were quickly broken down by the True Dragon's stomach acid, turning into tiny strands of energy absorbed by the True Dragon.
Regularly eating metal is very beneficial for a Giant True Dragon's growth. Not only can it make the Giant True Dragon's scales and skin tougher, gaining stronger defense, but eating metals with corresponding attributes can also accelerate the Giant True Dragon's growth and development.
For example, White Dragon living in glacial regions often consume 'ice crystals', a special mineral found in glacial crevices. This special mineral makes the White True Dragon's breath more powerful.
However, consuming metal has a very small impact on True Dragon and requires long-term consumption for the True Dragon to gain sufficient benefits. Generally, only a true lord Dragon like Kalon can afford such consumption.
Many Chromatic Dragon's who eat dirt and gnaw on bark to survive would not treat rare metals and ores as food when they found them, but rather as treasures to adorn their pitiful treasure troves that even a thief would find lacking.
However, Kalon now had a large family and many ore veins in his territory. Although no large magic ore veins had been found, there were actually not enough people to mine those rare metal ores.
Or rather, there were not enough people who knew how to smelt ores. The Kobold dependents, as good ore miners, could mine tons of rare ores for Kalon and the other True Dragon's every month.
It was a pity that these dependents were all individuals who relied on their talents to make a living, and no monster understood the technology of smelting and purifying ores.
"It seems I need to tell Dos to pay close attention to this. Also, merchant groups. The Dragon clan need their own merchant group, or merchant groups that serve the Dragon clan. Otherwise, many resource transactions will be very inconvenient and difficult to meet my wishes."
Kalon pondered the issues of his territory.
"Hmm?"
Kalon looked up. His self-developed perception detected invisible fluctuations in the air, but the newcomer had not yet entered the alert range of the 'Awakened Dream' spell, so his position had not been exposed.
Hoo hoo, Kalon sniffed with his nose, his long, bone-white fangs exposed. He bared his teeth, and a gentle Dragonfire burned towards a certain spot in the air.
Soon, the fluctuations in the air materialized, and Pixie Raven, wearing a short green petal skirt and with two tender sprout flowers on her head, appeared within the fluctuations.
Raven, with her small hands on her slender waist and her chest puffed out, glared furiously at the Red Dragon, who was holding back a mischievous grin, and said, "Stupid Kalon, you almost burned your only Pixie friend to death!"
"It's okay, there are still many Pixie in the forest anyway. I'm sure they'd all be very happy to 'voluntarily' be friends with a powerful True Dragon like me."
Kalon deliberately teased the Pixie. He always found angry, stomping Pixie very amusing. Perhaps this was influenced by the inherent mischievousness inherited from the True Dragon itself.
"Hmph, hmph, hmph,"
The Pixie Raven also knew that Kalon had deliberately misdirected his True Dragon Breath, but Kalon's words still made the Pixie a little angry.
So Raven hugged her arms and swayed back and forth in front of Kalon, her small mouth pouting so much it almost reached the sky.
Kalon's vision was filled with the Pixie's rapidly flapping wings, almost making the Giant True Dragon dizzy. Kalon could only shake his head and ask, "How come you came over as soon as I woke up? You don't come to see me every day, do you?"
The Pixie's swaying figure froze in mid-air. She stammered, "No, it's just too boring. I'm always hearing those Pixie brag about what new friends they've made."
Riven's eyes darted around, and she stopped stammering. She looked up at the Red Dragon, who was looking down at her, and said, "Kalon, why don't we go on an adventure? With my intelligence and your strength, we're sure to have a pleasant adventure."
"Who knows if you're the one who brags the most among the Pixie," Kalon muttered to himself. However, although his relationship with the Pixie was as close as good friends, the Pixie's words still couldn't influence his thoughts.
Moreover, the Dragon Territory has been relatively stable so far because the Dragon clan have maintained their original territorial scale relatively steadily, including the territories of the Ogre and Centaur tribes.
Although they are gradually expanding towards the grasslands, they are also choosing to expand towards areas where there are no powerful tribes or monsters entrenched.
If the Dragon clan continued to expand wantonly, it would attract the hostility and attention of many surrounding monsters.
When the Dragon clan first subdued their dependents and prepared to expand, those Ogres who constantly watched the True Dragon's would actively attack the Dragon clan, let alone if the Dragon clan launched a full-scale attack. That might attract surrounding monsters to gather and besiege the territory.
Kalon had long understood that in this wild land, and even the entire world, every race and monster has its own fixed scope of survival and activity. If you don't actively touch it, everyone can maintain a state of peace.
All living land must be contended for with blood and fire to gain a foothold. The power of these young True Dragon's is far from strong enough, and they still need to lie low and develop for some time.
Going on an adventure during this time would truly be a foolish choice, but Kalon didn't blame the Pixie.
Pixie, this kind of creature, sometimes takes many risks in pursuit of happiness and fun. In Kalon's eyes, these Pixie are actually quite chaotic.
The Red Dragon decisively shook his head, "The outside world is still very dangerous for me right now. I need to stay put in my territory and grow. However, if you say you're bored, I do know a lot of fun little games."
