Evil Red Dragon

Alecto and Oliveira carefully maintained a low altitude, their wings cutting through the clouds and casting two rapidly moving shadows on the verdant sea of ​​trees.

They deliberately restrained their dragon might, keeping their flight altitude within 100 meters above the treetops.

This distance allows you to look down while also avoiding any potentially powerful flying monsters.

"Brother, are we really going to keep flying southeast?"

Olivera's voice sounded somewhat faint in the wind. She followed closely behind Alecto on his right, keeping a body length's distance. This was a habit she had developed, allowing her to hide behind Alecto immediately in the event of a sudden attack.

Alecto did not answer; he scanned the receding landscape below.

Southeast of the volcanic region where the Dragon Mother's lair is located, the terrain is undergoing dramatic changes.

The rugged black rock peaks were gradually replaced by rolling hills. The forests remained dense, but the variety of trees had increased significantly. Coniferous and broad-leaved forests were interspersed, and large grasslands could be seen occasionally.

They were nearing the edge of Daenerys's territory.

"The southeast direction is close to human settlements, but according to the inherited memories, the southeast of the Endless Mountains is a complex terrain with numerous caves and crisscrossing rivers. More importantly, the monsters there are generally of low level, making it a safe place for us to establish a nest."

Oliveira nodded, seemingly understanding.

Her understanding of geography was far inferior to Alecto's, but she trusted Alecto's judgment.

After all, she was just a lowly slave with little power over the dragon...

"But what if we encounter humans?"

Oliveira couldn't help but ask again.

"Being vigilant is a good thing, Oliveira."

Alecto did not deny it: "But..."

Just then, Alecto suddenly reduced its flight speed, stretched its neck forward, and looked down at a bare rocky slope.

"What's that?" Oliveira followed his gaze.

On the grayish-white rocky slope, two deep red creatures, each about three meters long, were chasing a herd of argali sheep.

They move swiftly and pounce wildly.

One of them successfully pounced on an old ibex that had fallen behind and immediately began to tear it apart, while the other continued to chase the flock.

Oliveira squinted, scrutinized for a few seconds, and then suddenly exclaimed in surprise:

"That's a dragon!"

Alecto did not answer, but his vertical pupils had already contracted to thin slits.

He recognized him.

Those two dragon beasts were the same brothers from the same nest who were ruthlessly banished by their mother, Rhevana, on the day they hatched.

Normally, newly born dragons don't survive long in the perilous wilderness.

They have no inherited memories, no knowledge of magic, and low intelligence. They have the form of a dragon but no dragon soul, and in the eyes of true predators, they are nothing more than moving pieces of meat.

But these two not only survived, but also grew to nearly three meters in size, and even learned cooperative hunting, a behavior that requires certain skills.

This is incredible.

"How did they get here?"

Oliveira murmured, "Still alive...and so big..."

Alecto's thoughts raced.

The fact that these two dragon beasts could run to such a far edge area shows that they at least possess basic survival instincts and a sense of direction.

What's even more surprising is that, despite having many old scars, they are in good overall condition, with their scales gleaming healthily in the sunlight and their muscle lines quite full.

This means they have found a stable food source and successfully avoided most deadly threats.

They are so lucky.

"interesting."

Alector's snout parted in a dangerous arc:

"It seems our brothers are more resilient than we thought."

Oliveira turned to look at him: "?"

Alecto suddenly moved.

Without warning or hesitation, it suddenly tilted, folded its wings, and swooped down the rocky slope like a meteorite!

A sharp, piercing sound as if the air was being torn apart suddenly exploded, and a sonic boom cloud left a white trail behind the dragon's wings.

"Brother!" Oliveira exclaimed, trying to catch up, but was too slow because of her shock.

She was still wondering to herself: "Does Alecto still want to capture them and enslave them? No way, they're just a burden..."

The two dragon beasts below also sensed the danger.

The ibex that was munching on the mountain goat suddenly looked up, its dragon eyes reflecting the rapidly enlarging black shadow in the sky. It let out a terrified roar, dropped its food, and turned to flee.

The other dragon beast chasing the sheep reacted a little slower, but it immediately changed direction and ran wildly down the rocky slope into the dense forest.

They are not slow; at least much faster than argali sheep.

If facing ordinary predators, there might actually be a chance to escape into the forest and survive.

Unfortunately, they were facing Alecto.

The acceleration from the dive propelled Alecto to terrifying speeds.

In just two seconds, he had moved from a height of 100 meters to less than 10 meters from the ground.

At this distance, they could clearly see the cold glint in Alecto's claws, the taut muscles in his neck, and the razor-sharp killing intent in his dragon eyes.

He struck with his claws.

Its right claw shot out like lightning, and the first dragon beast's nape snapped off instantly.

The next second, the left claw swung out and slammed into the back of the second dragon beast, the terrifying force directly shattering its internal organs.

The two dragon beasts screamed and flew out, rolling on the rocky slope for more than ten meters before slowly coming to a stop. After twitching a few times, they became completely still.

The entire process was clean and efficient, from the dive to the kill, taking no more than five seconds.

When Oliveira arrived, Alecto had already landed on the rocky slope, carrying a dragon carcass in each of his claws.

Fresh blood gushed from the severed neck, spreading a glaring red across the rock.

The herd of blue sheep had long since vanished without a trace, leaving only the rustling of the wind through the grass and the strong smell of blood.

"you……"

Oliveira landed beside Alexo, looking at the two lifeless dragon beasts, then at the calm Alexo, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Alecto threw the two dragon carcasses on the ground.

He looked down to check them, and only after confirming that they were completely dead did he turn to Oliveira.

"Take their bodies with you."

He spoke so casually, as if he were simply saying, "Pick up that stone."

Oliveira finally snapped: "Why did you bring their bodies along?!"

Her voice was shrill: "They are dragon beasts! Their blood is poisonous to us! Are you going to...?"

Although she looked down on dragons, she wouldn't kill them unless they offended her; at most, she would just drive them away.

Besides, these two dragon beasts should be considered related to them... Let's just kill them. The thought that these two idiots were related to her by blood made her feel nauseous. But why did you bring their corpses up here, Alector?!

"eat."

Alecto uttered a single word.

The word struck Oliveira like a hammer blow to her heart.

She was completely disoriented by Alector.

Oliveira's eyes widened, and she stammered:

"Eat? Eat these two dragon beasts?! Brother, are you crazy or am I?! Although their bloodline is diluted, they are still descended from true dragons. The inherited memories clearly state that under the curse of Tiamat, the Mother of Dragons, true dragon blood is poisonous to true dragons! You—"

Alector interrupted her:

"Yes, their blood is poisonous to us, but I don't eat it all."

He walked to the corpse of a dragon beast, slashed open its chest with his claws, revealing a heart that was still beating slightly: "But look, this one is comparable to that of a high-level magical beast..."

Oliveira looked at the heart and felt a wave of nausea wash over her.

It's not disgust, but a deep-seated sense of rejection, a true dragon's aversion to a degraded bloodline.

"But the risk is still too great."

She tried to make a final attempt to dissuade her:

"Even if you can withstand the poison, eating the dragon beast might still leave you unable to move... Brother, we've only just left the lair, and our future is uncertain. Is it worth taking such a risk at this time?"

Alecto raised his head, his gaze passing over Oliveira and looking towards the rolling mountains to the southeast.

"worth."

He stared intently at Oliveira:

"Every bit of power increase is crucial now. They are invaluable resources right now. Although they are poisonous, even if you add them up, they are still comparable to a few high-level magical beasts."

"Are you really going to do this?"

Oliveira's voice trembled.

Alecto did not answer, but gave his answer through his actions.

He opened his mouth and breathed fire, scorching all the dragon beasts' wounds and sealing the blood. He picked them up one in each hand, flapped his wings, and flew back into the air.

Olivera stared at Alecto in fear; to be honest, she was now a little afraid that Alecto would eat her.

She knew Alecto was a pervert, but she never imagined he was this perverted.

This guy is truly the reddest of the red dragons, the most vicious of the vicious dragons.

Oliveira had no choice but to grit her teeth and keep up.

She kept trying to convince herself: her brother must have his reasons for doing this... he just... he just...

Okay, I can't make this up anymore, but she's already on the same boat as Alecto, they're in cahoots.

It can only be said that Alecto is indeed ruthless in her pursuit of power, which is a good thing for her. The stronger Alecto is, the safer she is...maybe.

The two dragons flew out of the Dragon Mother's territory one after the other.

Alecto slowed his flight, constantly scanning the area below, searching for a suitable landing spot.

He needed to dispose of the two bodies as soon as possible and then continue on his way.

After flying for about half a day, Alecto discovered a natural cave located in the middle of a cliff.

The cave is not large, but it is large enough to accommodate them, and the entrance is hidden in a secluded location with lush vegetation, making it difficult to be discovered.

"This is it."

He landed first, dragging the two dragon carcasses into the cave, with Oliveira following closely behind.

There was a faint dripping sound deep inside the cave, but it was generally dry and there were no signs of other biological activity, so it was relatively safe.

Alecto laid the bodies side by side and began a careful dissection.

His targets were clear: the heart, liver, the magical internal organs, and the bone marrow.

The dragon claw sliced ​​open the chest cavity and removed two hearts the size of human heads.

Its heart is deep red in color and covered with a fine network of blood vessels; its magical power is several times that of an ordinary magical beast's heart.

Next came the liver, then the brain… Finally, he broke the dragon bone and sucked out the semi-solidified marrow.

Throughout the entire process, Oliveira had her back to him, her body trembling slightly.

She wasn't afraid of the bloodshed, but rather the blood ties caused by cannibalism made her extremely uncomfortable.

Alector really started eating! And he was really enjoying it!

"Aren't you going to eat some?"

Alecto's voice suddenly rang out: "Their bone marrow contains very low levels of toxins, and the magic within is also very pure."

He ate without any psychological pressure, just like gnawing on pork bones.

Chew chew chew

It's quite delicious...

Olivera turned around abruptly and saw that Alecto had already piled up the selected parts and was picking up a dragon bone with his claws, as if to hand it to her.

She backed away repeatedly, crying, "No! Brother! I...I don't need it! I'll just eat ordinary prey!"

Alecto chuckled and didn't press the matter further.

He swallowed the mountain of the best parts, along with the two hearts, all at once.

The surging magic exploded instantly in my stomach, followed by excruciating pain.

Even after screening, a small amount of toxins remaining in the blood of dragon beasts still seeped in.

Alecto felt dizzy, and strange black spots appeared at the edges of his vision. Fragments of inherited memories surged uncontrollably, mixed with the raging roars of the red dragon and chaotic images.

"Well……"

He let out a low growl, lay down, and forcefully suppressed his discomfort, the muscles beneath the scales twitching incessantly.

Oliveira stood guard nervously at the cave entrance, both on guard against possible enemies and watching Alector with concern.

Time passed second by second.

After an unknown amount of time, Alecto suddenly opened his eyes, and the chaos and black spots in his vision had disappeared.

He slowly got up and stretched his body.

"call……"

Although the process was painful, the benefits were real.

In just a few days, his total magic power increased by about 10%, and he became more adept at controlling the fire element.

He forcibly suppressed even more energy within his body, waiting to be digested during his next deep sleep.

However, Alecto also confirmed that with his strong physique, he could indeed withstand and digest the trace amount of toxins on the dragon beast.

But eating a real dragon is probably not a good idea; the risk is too high and it's not worth it.

He said contentedly, "Olivila's gone."

Feeling as if she had been granted a pardon, the dazed Oliveira nodded hastily.

Alecto emerged from the cave and took to the air once more.

Oliveira followed silently; she was a servant, and all she needed to do was obey.

They continued flying southeast.

The land below became increasingly flat, and the forests were gradually replaced by grasslands and scattered shrubs.

In the distance, a wide river shimmered silver in the sunlight, winding its way toward the horizon.

Alecto knew they were far from Daenerys's territory.

Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away, Cinsera is facing the first major crisis of her dragon life.

She chose to fly southwest, where there were more monsters and richer resources, but it was also more dangerous.

At this moment, she was hiding in a crevice in the rocks, her body covered in wounds, with blood seeping from under the torn scales in many places.

Less than a hundred meters ahead of her, a raptor over ten meters long was slowly approaching.

Level 5 magical beast, Skyhorn Eagle King.

Cinsera's eyes were filled with despair.

She was too careless, thinking that she could run rampant in this area with her magical talent, but she didn't expect to run into the overlord of this area as soon as she arrived.

It's a flying magical beast; she can't escape it!

"Damn it... Am I going to die here?"

She gritted her teeth and began to gather her last bit of magic power.

Even if it means death, she will make this beast pay the price!
