Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 6 Dragon's Nest Canyon
Akzi is not lazy, but more diligent than the average five-colored dragon.

On the contrary, a mother dragon who spends the whole day in her cave eating, sleeping, and watching her cubs fighting is like the thief crying "stop thief". This mother dragon is even lazier than her lazy and pleasure-seeking cousins, and is comparable to a lazy forest sloth.

Since they had not been following Carlit to this mountain range to establish their nest for long, they had not had time to find and subdue suitable followers, and most dragons would choose to have followers after they reach adulthood.

After building the nest, Carlit stayed in the cave to hatch dragon eggs and sleep, so the task of hunting fell on Akzi.

Akzi is not only responsible for Carlit's diet, but also for the diet of the dragonlets.

Normally, it is also necessary to patrol the territory attached to the Dragon's Nest, confirm the scope of the Dragon's Nest territory, and maintain the dragon group's inherent territory. Now that all the dragon cubs have been born, it is only a matter of time before the dragon group grows stronger.

The original territory was only a hundred miles around this mountain range. As the young dragons grew, it would gradually become unable to support them. After all, each dragon required a large amount of food to grow.

Even he himself was just a young dragon about to enter adolescence, and he knew very well how large a territory would be needed to support a growing group of dragons.

So now Akzi can be regarded as a model worker among the five-colored evil dragons. He needs to patrol the territory every day. If he can solve the problem with his ability to approach that of a teenage blue dragon, he will expand his territory.

If he couldn't, he would mark it and warn the young dragons, and then break through from here when the young dragons grew up.

Akzi had no intention of calling Carlit, not because he was afraid of the power and punishment of the dragon leader.

But as a licking dragon, he didn't want Carlit to feel that she was blocked by some small difficulties and needed to seek help. He didn't want to lose the dragon.

So he took the group of young dragons to a canyon formed by a broken mountain range between his nest and Carlit's nest and hurried away to continue his journey as a hardworking worker.

This canyon that is broken off from the mountain range is not completely disconnected from the mountain range. To the north, the cliff close to the grassland is connected to it by a thick stone wall, like a natural connected arch bridge.

The canyon on the south side, adjacent to the forest, is completely disconnected to form a portal in and out of the canyon, and a stream flows out of the portal from a pond formed by the sinking of the canyon.

The canyon might be a little narrow for an adult dragon, but it was wide enough for this group of dragonlets.

At least it is much better than being in the cave of the blue dragon leader Carlit. In the future, the young dragons will not have to worry about waking up the sleeping big dragon when they play around.

The dragons were obviously satisfied with the green and grassy environment. The young dragons scattered and began to dig caves on the mountain walls on both sides of the canyon.

They chose to move their claws where the stone was soft as much as possible, and the stone was easily dug out under the hard and sharp dragon claws.

Blue dragons like to bury themselves in the ground, so the blue dragon that is best at digging chooses to dig out his own cave at the foot of the mountain wall, and his progress is far ahead of other young dragons.

The black dragon, who loves water, originally wanted to settle down in the pond in the canyon, but this pond would be the drinking water source for the young dragons in the future.

Once the black dragon settles in the water, it will pollute the water source, making the clear water in the pond turbid and smelly and slowly turn into poisonous water.

So the black dragon was scolded by the other dragons in dragon language, which was quite filthy. So he had no choice but to follow the example of the blue dragon and become the neighbor of the blue dragon.

The green emerald dragon-like Antajiana, like her green dragon cousins, likes to grow trees in the forest and build nests in the huge crowns of the trees.

But now as a young dragon she does not have the strength to build a nest on her own, so she chooses to dig a nest high on the cliff with Clenaya.

As for the white dragon, let’s not talk about that for now.

The nest that Kalon chose was at the bottom of the cliff opposite the blue dragon, but he didn't like being buried in the soil, so he could only honestly dig through the stone wall and carve out the cave bit by bit.

He planned to put some effort into it. After all, it was his first nest in his life as a dragon, his own nest, so of course he had to make it well so that he could live comfortably.

He first had to dig a passage in and out of the cave. The stone was already soft under his hard claws, as weak as tofu.

With Kalon's powerful strength and the dragon's incomparable energy, he quickly dug through the mountain wall, forming a ten-meter-long passage that could barely pass through. Then he began to widen and raise the passage so that he could easily enter and exit the cave.

The second step is to dig two passages several meters long to the left and right at the end of the passage, and then dig a ten-meter passage parallel to the entrance and exit passage in the two connecting passages to go straight into the mountain.

Then widen the corner of the aisle into an oval shape to avoid getting stuck when entering or exiting. Next is the focus of the entire nest, his resting place.

Karon hollowed out the stone wall behind the left and right passages to form a huge circular cave, so that both passages are connected to the cave. The ten-meter-thick stone wall in front of the cave became a windproof screen, which provided good ventilation and blocked the view of the cave from outsiders.

Finally, Charon used the earth element under his control to compact and flatten the soil on the ground, and used dragon flame breath to dry the cave.

Then the uneven cave stone walls with claw marks were burned into smooth walls. The melted stones and minerals mixed in the stones turned into high-temperature water flows that flowed down the walls, covering the black and yellow hard and flat ground with a layer of crystal light.

At this point, the little red dragon's nest was finally built after more than half a month. Karon curled up his limbs and lay on the ground which was still emitting some heat. He exhaled comfortably and enjoyed the unique tranquility of the moment. At this moment and in this place, he actually felt like home.

······
"Damn you Kamide, can you please get your stupid fucking head out from behind your big ass and use it, you passed the ball to the wrong dragon, we are on the same team with Doss."

The clever white dragon Gmot was scolding his fellow brother who was always a step slow in reacting, using what he thought was the most elegant swear words he had learned from Kalon.

He moved sideways and tried his best to block Clenaya who was charging towards him with a round metal ball, and then was knocked aside without a doubt. He and the blue dragon Dos who fell behind Clenaya stared at the little female dragon as she put the ball into the goal.

"Woohoo, we won today, right? I finally won once."

The happy Green Dragon Antajena cheered and turned to ask the Black Dragon excitedly.

Poor Antajira, she has never won since Cuarón "invented" this sport that combines rugby and football.

When Charon doesn't act as a referee, whichever team the most powerful female dragon, Clenaya, is assigned to, generally has a greater chance of winning, while the unlucky Antajna is always assigned to the opposite team.

Black Dragon Rosani also nodded happily, "We won, we just have to wait for Kalon to announce the result."

"Very good, twenty-six to ten, the right-hand team wins," Caron, who was squatting outside the court as the referee, announced the result by clapping his paws.

"Klenaya, Antajana, and Rosani, you will have priority in eating dinner tonight. The most outstanding Klenaya will receive a heart as a reward."

Listening to the cheers and frustrated voices of the dragonlings, Kallon felt a little proud. He created this activity not just for entertainment.

On the one hand, it can consume the dragon cubs' usual vigorous energy, so that they will not mess around and make it easier to manage them. It can also exercise the dragon cubs' physical coordination and reaction ability. The original oval-shaped football is also changed to a round one, which can also exercise the dexterity and strength of the dragon claws.

On the other hand, it is to train the dragonlings' ability to cooperate and strengthen their group consciousness so that the dragon group can cooperate in hunting and fighting in the future.

Of course, the most important thing is that Kalon is always in the hidden referee position of the dragon group. Rewards and punishments are all made by Kalon. These can strengthen the impression that Kalon is the dragon who makes the final decision in the dragon group.

Letting the unruly dragons slowly get used to obeying Charon's decisions is Charon's domestication of the dragonlings. The subtle influence is difficult to achieve by simply relying on force and intimidation.

He hoped that one day when he had enough power to fight against Akzi and Kalit, these dragonlets would subconsciously obey him and follow him to fight against the enemy.

This is what Charon thinks. He cannot always be under the command of Carlit. He has the dragon's natural ambition to rule others, and he also has the human's desire to plot.

Especially after he absorbed the information left in his mind by the vortex, he knew that he would have more talents and means in the future. That was Caron's confidence, even though he is still groping now.

Kalon flapped his wings and flew to the top of the cliff, then landed next to the blue dragon Akzi who was watching with great interest.

The three-meter body was like a kitten next to the nearly eleven-meter-tall Akezi. Kalon bowed his head to show his respect for the model worker Akezi.

"It's a very interesting game, even I want to join in,"

Akzi nodded. His knowledge could not be less than those newly born dragons, so he was not as casual to the talented red dragon cub in front of him as he was to other members, although he still looked down on it.

"With Lord Akzi's great strength, he will definitely be the final winner," Kalon flattered, and the flattery technique naturally started to take effect.

"You manage the dragonlets very well, which saves me a lot of trouble," the blue dragon Akzi turned his head calmly and looked down at the red dragon who was flattering but expressionless, and said, "Perhaps I should give you some rewards."

Kalon was silent for a while, then suddenly opened his mouth and smiled: "Lord Akizi, are you going to reward me with some gold coins? I still don't have any treasure of my own."

The blue dragon Akzi also fell silent. After a long while, he spoke: "I don't have many gold coins." Then he spread his wings and flew away, but his open wings accidentally knocked the expectant Kalon over.
