"Bang!"
A black shadow suddenly hit the rock wall beside him. Lava splashed everywhere. Suhlen immediately stopped and looked down. A four-meter-tall Lava Elemental had been slammed hard against the rock wall. The Lava Elemental's body had cracked because of the powerful force. Before the Lava Elemental could recover, a huge black shadow instantly rushed up.
"Roar!"
A dragon roar sounded. Then, the huge dragon's body instantly pounced on the Lava Elemental that was struggling to get up. Then, the dragon's strong and powerful claws directly smashed the Lava Elemental to death. Then, it grabbed the Elemental Core from the Lava Elemental's body and threw it up casually. The dragon's ferocious mouth instantly closed. The hard Elemental Core was crushed like a peanut and swallowed into its stomach.
After eating this Elemental Core, the dragon licked its mouth as if it was not satisfied. Its slender tail swept across and sent a Lava Elemental that had just chased after it flying. Then, the dragon killed another Lava Elemental and swallowed its Elemental Core.
After eating a few Elemental Cores in a row, the dragon burped with satisfaction and walked leisurely to the deeper parts of the volcanic crater.
Suhlen moved his body and rubbed his ears. The circular terrain of the volcanic crater was like a loudspeaker. The dragon's roar just now reverberated back and forth in the volcanic crater, and the echo shook his eardrums until now.
"A young Red Dragon. This is a big harvest!"
"Ruby scales. The color is so beautiful!"
Looking at the depths of the volcanic crater, Suhlen's eyes flashed. After knowing that this nest was a young Red Dragon, Suhlen became more cautious. The Red Dragon was the most powerful of the Five-Color Dragons. Even among the Metal Dragons, only the Gold Dragon could compete with it.
Suhlen took a deep breath and moved into the depths of the volcanic crater again. The Red Dragon's nest was in a cave deep in the volcanic crater. Next to it was boiling lava. The surrounding temperature was very high, and there was only one very narrow path leading to the cave.
However, after passing through the last path and entering the cave, the front suddenly opened up. A huge dragon nest appeared in front of him. As soon as Suhlen entered the cave, he felt his eyes light up. A five-meter-tall gold hill appeared in front of him.
Gold often appeared in volcanic lava. Many gold veins were formed after the lava cooled. Suhlen was surprised that the Red Dragon had so much gold. As a young Red Dragon, he had more wealth than many adult dragons.
It seemed that this volcano often brought out a lot of gold when it erupted. This Red Dragon had found a good place to live. It was already a rich dragon before it had even reached adulthood. However, now that the Red Dragon was full, it did not realize that it was being watched.
Suhlen looked at the Red Dragon sleeping on the gold hill. The Red Dragon's appearance was strong and ferocious. Its ruby-like scales had a layer of muscle outline, and there were sharp bone spurs at its joints. At this time, the Red Dragon was sleeping very soundly. Some transparent liquid could even be seen flowing down its ferocious jaw. As it breathed, a bubble on its nose contracted back and forth.
The Red Dragon did not react to Suhlen's arrival. Giant dragons would be less alert when they were sleeping, but as soon as they sensed danger or any movement, the sleeping giant dragon would wake up instantly.
As a big boss that often appeared in various adventure stories, giant dragons were very popular. When Suhlen first came to this world, he often heard some bards telling stories about knights defeating evil dragons. The story was that the evil dragon captured a princess, and the king issued a mission to ask people to save his daughter. Then, a brave knight with the help of a few companions finally defeated the evil dragon and saved the princess.
There were many different versions of this story, but Suhlen had always been curious. Why did the dragon capture the princess? Wasn't it supposed to rob the treasury? Even if the dragon captured the princess and threatened the king to hand over a sky-high ransom, the king would probably not agree. Therefore, the dragon capturing the princess was a completely false proposition.
Wizards had done a lot of research on giant dragons, and Suhlen had naturally read these books. They even introduced the fighting attributes of giant dragons at different ages, such as which age was the most dangerous, which kind of giant dragons were friendly to humans, the power of the giant dragon's breath, and so on.
In the library of the North Wind Tower, there were hundreds of books about giant dragons, such as "Habits of Giant Dragons," "Types of Giant Dragons," "Overview of Giant Dragons," "The Book of Giant Dragons," and so on.
The body of a giant dragon was a very precious material. Its scales could be made into armor, its bones could be made into equipment, its meat could be eaten, and its blood could be used for the Dragon Blood Baptism Ceremony or to make bloodline potions. The Dragon Bloodline Warlock was the most popular of all warlock schools, and also one of the most powerful warlock professions.
Many bards said that after bathing in the dragon's blood, one would gain great power and one's body would become as hard as iron. This saying was actually wrong. Not everyone could bear the dragon's blood. For example, the blood of a red dragon was almost like boiling lava. If an ordinary person bathed in this dragon's blood, they would be directly burned into a pile of charcoal.
The correct way was to carry out the Dragon Blood Baptism Ceremony. After this ceremony, one could strengthen one's body, immunity, and toughness, and improve one's resistance to diseases and toxins. The Dragon Blood Baptism Ceremony could be carried out multiple times. For example, the Five Color Dragon could baptize the dragon's blood of all five colors once, and this effect could be stacked. If the Dragon Blood Baptism Ceremony was carried out to the fifth level and above, one could also gain an additional legendary level ability – Armored Skin.
Of course, very few people would do this. After all, it was not easy to slay a dragon, and doing so would arouse the hostility of giant dragons. Suhlen had also seen in some wizards' letters that some wizards had carried out the Dragon Blood Baptism Ceremony on certain parts of their body in order to gain the achievement of being as hard as iron. It was said that the effect was remarkable.
The red dragon had the highest IQ among the Five Color Dragons, and at the same time, it was also the strongest. However, in the statistical research conducted by the wizards, it was found that the red dragon's death rate was second only to the white dragon. The white dragon was known as the stupidest giant dragon, and its IQ was only a little higher than that of a wild beast.
The main reason was that the red dragon was too arrogant. Most of the other giant dragons would only go out to play when they were young and had the ability to protect themselves. However, the red dragon was different. They would go out to rob villages or adventurers when they were young dragons.
This practice was undoubtedly telling others that there were dragons here, and that they should quickly become dragon slayers.
Among all the dragons, the red dragon was the most vengeful. They would even hold a grudge for hundreds of years because of something. Then, one day, when they were strong enough, they would suddenly come and destroy everything. The red dragon would use a few years to come up with an attack plan. After discovering the enemy, they would directly attack. In short, they would spend a lot of time to come up with a plan. When the battle started, they would just throw it aside and attack.
The red dragon in front of him was sleeping very soundly. Giant dragons that had just eaten would have a good sleep. Suhlen carefully moved back and forth in the dragon's cave. Soon, he had set up a binding circle. With a burst of strong magic light, the red dragon in front of him suddenly opened its eyes.
"Binding circle! [Spell Maximization] "
Eight silver rune chains appeared in an instant and directly pinned the red dragon to the ground. The red dragon that had just woken up struggled to get up.
"Who!"
"Who is sneakily attacking the great Lava King!"
The red dragon roared angrily. Its huge body violently struggled to get rid of the chains. The eight silver rune chains were pulled out of shape, and the entire cave shook slightly.
Soon, it found Suhlen standing next to it. The red dragon took a deep breath. Its two huge eyes burst into flames, and its chest bulged. In the next second, it was about to spit out a scorching breath.
A light flashed on Suhlen's body, and a shadow tentacle instantly appeared. It quickly wrapped around the red dragon's ferocious mouth and violently stopped the dragon's breath that it was about to spit out. For a moment, the red dragon's cheeks, which were originally dark red, turned red. Its two eyes bulged out, and large amounts of flames came out of its nostrils and mouth. Its entire head was on fire.
The red dragon that was forcefully stopped felt very uncomfortable. After a while, this situation disappeared. Plumes of black smoke came out of the red dragon's nostrils, mouth, and ears. The red dragon that had recovered stared at Suhlen. Its body began to struggle with all its might, trying to get rid of the chains.
The angry red dragon exploded with a shocking amount of power. Suhlen was only an advanced wizard, and the binding circle he cast was soon on the verge of collapsing. Seeing this, the red dragon in front of him struggled even harder. It had already decided that once it broke free, it would torture this wizard in front of it.
"Why bother? Can't you just stay put? "Suhlen curled his lips as he looked at the red dragon that was struggling violently.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Suhlen smiled as he looked at the red dragon in front of him. He didn't care at all that it had broken free. "You're quite active, but you still need to be trained to be a mount."
"Mount?" The red dragon was stunned for a moment, and then it became even angrier. "Damn human, you want to use me as a mount? Die!"
The red dragon angrily pounced at Suhlen.
"It's really hard to convince a dragon to be a mount." Suhlen shook his head in disappointment and dodged the red dragon's attack. However, when he thought about having a cool red dragon as a mount, Suhlen decided to persuade this red dragon. He believed that as long as he was reasonable, this red dragon would agree in the end.
