Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 120 Novice Druid

Those werewolf warriors who stepped out of the plane portal earlier acted as if nothing had happened. The sense of time confusion brought about by crossing the plane portal did not have much impact on these monster followers.

Their strong bodies also allow them to quickly recover their blocked five senses. Now, under the arrangement of the werewolf Yugu, they are standing in place to rest, surrounding Karon and those weak spellcasters for protection.

Kalon turned around and looked at the outpost. After two months of construction, this simple wooden base was not small in size and could easily accommodate more than a thousand people.

Outside the base, rows of defensive measures similar to chevaux de frise surrounded the front entrance of the entire base, while on the watchtowers on both sides of the entrance stood several ogre soldiers who were diligently guarding and looking into the distance.

After seeing the appearance of Karon, the dog-headed people who sensed the familiar breath immediately barked, and the whole quiet camp suddenly became lively.

Behind the base built against the cliff, a watchtower was built at the highest point among the jungle on the low mountain to keep watch.

It seems that these followers have learned some common sense of war defense in the territory.

A two-person-high white lighthouse stands in the central open space of this outpost. It is a plane beacon used for precise positioning and is also the key to the plane portal.

At this moment, the huge magic gem inlaid on the top of this not-so-tall plane beacon lighthouse is emitting a faint glow, supporting the soundproof magic barrier covering the entire outpost base.

Karon looked at the dusk and the spellcasters who seemed a little depressed, waved his hand, and asked the gnoll Yougu to take these gnoll soldiers back to the base barracks to rest.

We may face many battles next, so we must first keep all the soldiers full of energy.

"How about it, Xiuser? You should take a night's rest first and start the location exploration tomorrow," Karon looked at the squinty-eyed wizard who silently cast several spells of strengthening the physique and cleansing the mind on himself.

Before setting off, Xiuser had reminded Karon of the relevant precautions, but Karon was in good health, while these mages seemed listless.

"Then let's take a night's rest. Our mental state is not suitable for using magic positioning equipment to explore this world now," the squinting-eyed wizard said with a slightly lifted spirit.

These scholar wizards did not inherit complete legacy and technology from the ancient magic empire. The current plane portals are not as perfect as when the ancient magic empire conquered the endless plane, so these wizards were affected.

Karon nodded. He could only be thankful that he was a dragon. His strong physique made him immune to many influences.

Today's red dragons are not only basically immune to many negative effects such as poison, dizziness, paralysis, etc., but the corresponding spells, unless they are extremely strengthened, will not be able to affect the red dragon's body.

It can be said that Charon is now basically immune to most control spells, and he has almost complete immunity to fire elements and strong resistance to earth and metal elements.

As well as the seven layers of spell barrier shields and mental protection that Charon now wears on a daily basis, which are basically stacked on top of the thickest armor, the Red Dragon already feels that he is qualified to tease the tiger whiskers of those Saint-level powerhouses.

As for attack power, the dragon's powerful body is the strongest attack power. Even the small group of people standing at the top of the sanctuary dare not let any young dragon's claws attack their bodies, even the weakest white dragon is no exception.

Of course, the red dragon does not take the curse of wearing the thickest armor and enduring the most vicious blows seriously, and it is impossible for him to withstand the blows.

If he was attacked by a group of people by accident, Kalon would naturally activate the Red Dragon's innate skill - report later. No one could catch up with his current speed. Of course, this was just Kalon's occasional pride.

Although he is not afraid of those Saint-level strong men now, the legendary strong men are still quite intimidating to him. He does not want to try the legendary strong men's thinking coverage and cognitive subversion that are almost like the creator.

Even though each legendary warrior's methods are subject to distance and time limits, and these abilities also consume the legendary warrior's mental strength, Caron is not as stubborn as Clenaya, who only stood at attention after being beaten.

For a moment, Karon's thoughts were a little scattered. He thought it might be some sequelae left over from crossing the plane channel. After all, he looked directly at the lines of the intertwined and changing turbulence of time and space. That scene was still deeply engraved in Karon's heart.

"Perhaps, I can try to use this method to get in touch with the laws of time and space changes in the future, but it's a bit too ambitious for me now."

Karon frowned and stepped out of the camp's soundproof barrier, trying to break up the imprint of those messy and beautiful lines in his mind.

The existence of these engravings somewhat hindered his concentration, causing him to always pay attention to those dazzling and chaotic lines freely and independently.

As soon as he stepped out of the camp's barrier, a damp and cold breath and a breath of life that was even stronger than that in the dragon's territory hit him in the face, making Karon's mind clear.

This kind of aura exists in every environment of the forest in front of us. It is the influence of the climate of this plane. Although red dragons can survive and move in all environments, they still do not like this kind of long-term humid environment.

The location of the camp is somewhat desolate, with very few trees growing there, just like the sandy land that is rarely seen in the forest.

But in the forest in the distance there are dozens or even hundreds of different kinds of trees, all of which have drops of dew hanging on them.

Karon stepped into the forest, and his sharp claws popped out from his palms. He gently chopped at a tree near him, and a stream of fluorescent green sap overflowed from the crack in the tree trunk.

But then, under Caron's naked eye observation, which was as precise as that of an instrument, he saw that the bark near the crack of the tree had begun to heal slowly, and the sap secreted by the tree trunk was also promoting the healing speed of the tree trunk.

"Well, the density of trees here is much higher than that of ordinary trees. Maybe it's just a single species. I have to try other species."

Charon swung his claws at other trees again, and the result was similar. Without exception, the density and healing speed of these trees far exceeded those of ordinary trees of the same species in the world of Ekania.

"It seems that although the upper limit of power in this plane is low, the vitality of the life born here is quite considerable, and is generally stronger than that of ordinary beasts in the world of Ekania."

After walking dozens of miles out of the camp, Karon had captured more than a dozen different animals and conducted simple experiments on these beasts.

Kalon was now standing on the jungle leopard. The scars on the leopard's body caused by the dragon's claws were almost healed, with only a few red marks faintly visible on the wild and beautiful fur.

Kalon let go of the leopard. He had always liked this kind of beautiful cat. Besides, he was not hungry yet, so he let the beautiful leopard leap into the depths of the jungle with nimble steps.

The beautiful big cat finally looked back curiously at Caron, who looked very strange in her eyes, as if she was also curious about why this powerful predator let her go.

Karon ignored it. He had already discovered the peculiarity of this plane. Not only were the plants able to grow quickly, but the vitality of those ordinary beasts was also much stronger than usual.

It is difficult to achieve this level relying solely on the nourishment of the Tree of Life, because there is no Tree of Life growing within the range of Karon's perception, which proves that this area is not within the direct influence of those Trees of Life.

"Interesting, isn't this the fun of exploration and adventure?" Caron became interested in the existence behind all this and wanted to explore it.

Karon did not feel that this plane had any serious impact or suppression on him. At most, the red dragon's fire spells and breath were slightly weakened in this damp and cold environment.

But this did not weaken the Red Dragon's strength much, and this was also the source of his confidence.

Even in Charon's current dragon form, not to mention his physical fitness, his magic casting ability alone is much stronger than that of high-level wizards. The power of the spells cast by those wizards is incomparable to that of the red dragon's spells.

With Charon's current control over magic and elements, his spells are equivalent to having a double blessing of power and sophistication, accurate and powerful.

Karon was moving through the forest. He had already passed the defensive line of the ogre soldiers who were sent out to explore and guard the camp, and walked nearly a hundred miles to the southwest of the camp.

A fishy smell made the red dragon stop in his tracks. He looked carefully and saw a seven-meter-long lizard-like monster emerging from the dense forest.

Four claws with sharp claws clung firmly to the low hill, a faint mist emerged from between the dense black scales on the body, and a pair of animal eyes were filled with the cruelty of a predator, staring at Karon with a fierce look.

Apparently, this lizard-like monster regarded the red dragon as its prey.

The red dragon was a little surprised, and then he remembered that he had now locked all his breath and magical energy tightly in his body. In the eyes of these beasts, he was just an ordinary tall monster.

If this ability to gather breath and energy is combined with some shadow stealth spells, Kallon can become an extremely terrifying red dragon assassin.

Moreover, in Kalon's inherited knowledge, there was an example of a red dragon becoming an assassin. Imagine a red dragon sneaking up to you and then suddenly jumping up. That kind of horror is no less than the horror of being approached by a legendary warrior. Kalon shook his head. Although his time is almost unlimited, his energy is limited. It is impossible for him to study shadow spells again. He can just learn about it roughly when he has the chance in the future.

He looked at the lizard monster, which was sticking out a forked tongue, searching for relevant information about the red monster in front of it.

But the monster in front of it was like a stone on the ground or a tree in the forest. It did not collect any information and could only capture some faint smells, which was a faint smell of sulfur.

The snake-lizard monster, which had gained a little intelligence, suddenly raised its head, which was like a lizard but had a single horn. It was stunned for a moment, as if it realized something was wrong, turned around, and tried to escape, swinging its thick and long tail.

Karon slowly took out a gold coin from under his scales, but after thinking for a moment, he put the gold coin back and took out a copper coin.

The copper coin was spinning on Karon's fingertips. Driven by Karon's magic power, it suddenly flew towards the fleeing horned snake monster with a piercing sound of screaming, and instantly caught up with the horned snake monster that was running wildly on all fours.

The black mist between the scales of the horned snake suddenly became thicker, like cold air, trying to freeze and corrode the incoming copper coins.

But the next second, the copper coin with a whistling sound turned quietly in the air and directly pierced into the pupil of the horned snake lizard, piercing through the head and bringing blood to the ground.

This is a magical method developed by Karon himself by trying to use the magic of moving objects and mental power. Karon named this magic as the magic of driving objects.

Now it seems that although the power of this magic is still unclear, it is still very convenient to clean up these kinds of miscellaneous soldiers.

During his research, Karon even imagined that if he was besieged one day, perhaps he could fly all the gold coins hidden in the scales to attack the enemy. In that case, this spell should be renamed "One Chip of the Universe".

The blood-stained copper coin flew back to Karon. Karon looked at the copper coin with a little disgust. He wanted to throw away the copper coin stained with smelly blood, but the red dragon's instinct "controlled" him.

A spray of water sprayed out from between Caron's fingers, cleaning the copper coin. This was an improved version of the cloud technique after analysis by the sub-brain node group.

An ordinary wizard can only gather a cloud of mist when using this spell, but in Karon's hands, the cloud of mist can gather the surrounding water vapor, which can then be drawn out and used as clean water.

Charon hid the cleaned copper coins in the gaps between his scales. This is a skill that every dragon can easily master. Some dragons that are not very wealthy carry all their belongings on their bodies in this way, such as the poor red dragon, Caedilos.

Then, Karon walked to the horned snake whose head was pierced but whose body was still shaking and twitching. He picked up the beast's tail and dragged its body back towards the outpost camp.

Although he was not very hungry, this horned snake lizard had entered the ranks of magical beasts, and the essence of its flesh and blood was very beneficial to the young dragon.

And some of the flesh and blood can be distributed to the dependent soldiers. It is also good for each dependent to have a mouthful of broth. Anyway, Caron didn't kill the horned snake because he thought it was too ugly.

But before leaving, Caron's eyes swept across the jungle intentionally or unintentionally. Deep in the jungle, on a tall pine tree, stood an owl with a white beak, yellow claws, and black-brown feathers.

This owl looks ordinary, just like any other owl. There is no magical fluctuation or unusual aura on its body, but its eyes are particularly bright, as if there is the soul of an intelligent life hidden in the owl's body.

When Karon's gaze turned over, this ordinary owl quickly restrained the smartness in its eyes, pretended to be an ordinary owl, spread its wings, and cooed.

Karon turned his head expressionlessly, but he wanted to laugh in his heart. Owls usually do not spread their wings when they make calls. They usually spread their wings when facing enemies or prey, and at that time the owl's call is not so peaceful.

"It seems that this is a novice druid? It is obvious that he has no experience." Karon dragged the body of the horned snake and slowly disappeared into the jungle.

The strange owl did not think she was strange. When she saw that Karon's figure had disappeared, she jumped off the treetop, landed on the ground and turned into a beautiful jungle leopard, and re-disappeared into the jungle.

However, there are slight bald spots in the fur on the buttocks of this beautiful big cat, as if new fur has not had time to grow after the wound healed.

After a long time, Kalon reappeared in the jungle, sensing the mental energy he left on the female leopard.

Now, Kalon has regarded the use of mental energy to protect himself and to strengthen his attacks as a habitual instinct. The jungle leopard that he scratched naturally also carries this energy that belongs only to him.

As the sensing location became farther and farther away, Kalon could no longer sense the specific location of the mental energy, but he could still sense the approximate direction and range.

About two hundred miles west of here, the jungle leopard stopped. Obviously, that approximate range was the tribal camp where the creatures, perhaps druids, gathered.

Unfortunately, although the druid's spell is very similar to Transfiguration, it is not the Transfiguration in Dragon Legacy after all.

Transfiguration falls under the category of spell application. A druid's transformation is more like the ability of wild transformation obtained by communicating with nature. For the time being, Charon's true vision cannot see through the creature's true form.

Although the gnolls once lied that this plane was full of white women with big breasts, big butts and long legs in order to seduce the red dragon Caedilos to appear, Karon would not think it was such a coincidence.

The information the mages have only shows that the natives of this plane are a variant of elves, or perhaps wild elves.

However, with the information about the gathering places of these indigenous creatures, everything will be easy. As long as Charon completes the exploration with the mages, he will try to contact the indigenous residents, either to conquer them or to take them in.

Kalon's face, which was covered with tiny thorns, curled up into a grin, and he disappeared into the jungle in the twilight.

……

A jungle leopard covered with beautiful patterns was moving flexibly in the jungle. Along the way, the thick vines and branches blocking the road automatically parted, as if consciously making way for this beautiful creature.

Every time this jungle leopard appeared, a shadow flashed along with its body. Many wild beasts only felt a breeze passing by them and never thought that there was a creature hiding in the shadow.

This jungle leopard was extremely fast. Soon it ran more than two hundred miles and arrived at a camp surrounded by huge ancient trees.

These huge ancient trees sensed the lurking presence of shadows. Human-like faces emerged from the ancient trees, and their thick branches began to twist, as if they were on guard.

The jungle leopard quickly jumped out of the shadows, rolled forward, and transformed into a tall female elf with long green hair and a bright moonlight.

"Oh, it's little Aya," one of the particularly tall ancient trees guarding the camp made an old voice, "Go in quickly, the Great Elder is worried about you right now."

As they spoke, the human-like faces on the tall ancient trees disappeared back into the tree trunks, as if they had never appeared.

The female elf named Aya nodded to the ancient trees around her, and then responded to the tallest ancient tree: "Okay, Elder Anbu, I just happen to have something to ask the Great Elder!"

The tallest ancient tree responded, and the face sank into the tree, while Aya stepped into the tribe.

There are also many tall trees in the tribe, and some elves with green hair and white skin with emerald green skin are walking under these trees.

The tallest of them is a giant tree, its branches are dozens of meters thick. Looking up, the crown of this giant tree almost covers the entire sky!

All the trees in the tribe grow under the shade of this giant tree. This giant tree seems to have the style of the elven world tree, which was once the sacred object of the elves in the main plane as stated in the legend.

On the trunk of this giant tree, these elves built wooden houses of varying sizes using wood, following the natural tree holes and branch veins on the tree.

Layers of wooden stairs spiraled up around the tree. Elf Aya did not greet the rest of her kind, but climbed up the spiral stairs until she reached the top of the tree.

There was a simple but spacious wooden house. Elf Aya held her butt and pushed open the door of the tree house.

Inside the tree house sat a young-looking elf.
