Starting with watering the World Tree for otherworldly survival

“I see it for sure. The chieftain of this green dragon tribe is now stationed in the castle.”

Red Dragon's plan is to help Qin He and the others develop as quickly as possible. After they advance to adult dragons, they will kidnap the Green Dragon tribe's matriarch.

Now that this group possesses the Mother Dragon, capable of resurrection and teleportation, they truly have the resources to develop on Dragon Island.

They took Qin He and the others to the wilderness, specifically the jungle area outside the castle. Although it was somewhat dangerous, once they killed thirty adult dragons, the red dragon could advance to its prime.

The prey they hunted would allow Qin He and his companions to grow stronger quickly. Only in this way could they have a chance to snatch the Mother Dragon from the Green Dragon.

"Okay, let's set off now."

Previously, when it was just Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu, venturing into the jungle was quite dangerous, because there were no warehouses or fences to hide in.

If he's unlucky, Qin He might also encounter some "wild monsters".

For example, gnolls, gargoyles, or undead, but the most dangerous are certain monsters.

Red Rathalos, Anjanath, Zinogre... these monsters will directly attack dragons.

Fortunately, with the help of adult red dragons, their safety in the wild is greatly increased.

……

"Is this right here?"

On the side of the castle, a large group of gaunt, adult black dragons were eyeing the castle menacingly.

"Surround the entire castle; the Black Emperor is coming soon. Before that, we must deal with all the disobedient dragons here."

Their goal is to capture the castle and recruit soldiers as much as possible.

Among the colorful dragons, the black dragon is the most notorious and cruel. They seek out young dragons in the castle, abduct them, and force them into their ranks.

……

"Hey ha ha ha—look at it, trapped in the warehouse, like a dog!"

Several adult green dragons were still mocking the white dragon, but then a strong, corrosive acidic stench filled the air. The green dragons quickly realized something was wrong…

Coming from all sides of the warehouse, the black dragons, several times their size, immediately surrounded them.

"These green-scaled creatures are in a team, kill them!"

……

Meanwhile, the red dragon was about to lead Qin He and the others away from the castle to the jungle to develop their strength. However, the exit was blocked by a large group of adult black dragons.

"Gentlemen, where are you headed?"

The leading black dragon was already sixteen meters long. These creatures reeked of a pungent acidic odor, and their voices were hoarse like those of the dead.

Using its wings, the red dragon gathered Qin He and the others behind it, flames surging from its eyes.

At the same time, Qin He also obtained permission from Tiamat to hide Nidhogg's Bite behind his back.

Chapter 364 A gentleman takes revenge immediately!

At a glance, about twenty adult black dragons completely surrounded the area. If the red dragon could kill all the black dragons here, it might have advanced to its prime stage. Unfortunately, it couldn't...

"Red Dragon, bring your little brats and join us! How about it?"

The leading black dragon continued to invite the red dragon to join him in its hoarse, raspy voice. Since the black dragon's team currently lacked any mature dragons, recruiting some powerful dragons was essential.

Among teammates in the color faction, the red dragon, with its extremely strong melee combat, is naturally the most sought-after.

"What's your opinion?"

Honglong did not answer directly, but instead looked at Qin He and the others behind him.

"If you don't like staying here, just say so boldly, and I'll lead you out of here."

The voice transmission from the red dragon echoed directly in Qin He and the others' ears. It seemed that this red dragon was very confident in its own strength.

The black dragon leader, seeing that Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu were no ordinary black dragons, didn't think much of it. His mouth acted before his brain, and he said in an extremely contemptuous tone:

"I'm asking you a question, you little dragon cubs!"

The four baby dragons that the red dragon was with were all so beautiful that they made other dragons jealous. As for the black dragons, they wished they could spit their breath on the little dragons and let these delicate young dragons taste the pain of disfigurement.

Of course, Dragon Island is merely a trial-style game. Injuries sustained there are irrelevant to reality, but that doesn't diminish the Black Dragon's wicked sense of humor.

"Who do you think you're talking to?"

Qin He took a step forward, Nidhogg's Bite already prepared in his hand. If this black dragon dared to make a move, he wouldn't hesitate to use his methods.

Bahamut's long, platinum-gold dragon neck has emerged from the clouds. Within the Secret Dragon Island, the Dragon King has the authority to unleash divine punishment to directly kill a dragon.

If these black dragons really went too far, Bahamut would surely unleash a divine punishment. He instantly killed the black dragon leader, saying:

“To gather a crowd and coerce a young dragon is punishable by death.”

Qin He hadn't expected that his stepping forward would intimidate the black dragons.

They had never seen a black dragon like this before. Qin He, like the legendary forbidden black dragon Mirapolias, possessed the most standard dragon form.

Even Tiamat would be taken aback by his appearance. The black dragons couldn't help but wonder what kind of powerful bloodline Qin He possessed.

Out of respect for the bloodline of the strong, the black-haired leader suppressed his anger. He asked with a stern face:

"...Little one, what do you have to say?"

Even the leader of the Black Dragon Head Company didn't know why he was able to suppress his ferocity and not tear Qin He to pieces. But Qin He's next words were even more astonishing.

"Get out of my way, I have no interest in your team."

As Qin He spoke, he gestured for the other three young dragons to prepare to leave. The red dragon strode forward, protecting the others as if the black dragon were nothing.

"Don't you understand Common Tongue? Get out of the way!"

Although Dragon Island has restrictions on magic, abilities related to dragon might can still be used. A burning aura shone from the red dragon's body; this was its trump card that allowed it to lead Qin He and the others out of the encirclement.

Although most red dragons are lazybones who lie around wasting their talents, waiting for the Dragon Legacy to feed them spells like food.

But clearly, the red dragon in front of us is not.

Burning Aura, a skill derived from Dragon's Might, is neither within the scope of restricted spells and is useful enough within Dragon Island. What reason would a red dragon have not to learn it?

"Roar—do you think I'm inviting you? Foolish creatures... All dragons, charge!"

At this critical moment, the young dragons naturally couldn't just stand by and watch. Qin He immediately sent a telepathic message to Zhuang Daihua, instructing her to use her charged blinding breath to open the exit.

At the same time, Qin He also transmitted his voice to the Red Dragon:

"Zilong is about to use his blinding breath. Please close your eyes and rush out."

When dealing with a breakout, the Blinding Breath can at most turn the dragons' uniform breath attacks into a relatively chaotic but still highly accurate dense attack.

If the Red Dragon didn't have its burning aura, it would be in considerable trouble if it were surrounded like this.

As Zhuang Daihua unleashed a dazzling, explosive flash of light at the black dragon at the exit, Qin He and the others, having received a warning, closed their eyes along with the red dragon.

Then, Qin He and the others followed the red dragon, which had activated its burning aura, and rushed out of the encirclement. Some of its strong acidic breath broke through the aura, leaving a chilling sizzling sound between the red dragon's scales.

Once they left the castle, the red dragon spread its magnificent wings, scooping Qin He and the others into its claws. Once inside the jungle, the black dragon tribe became unruly.

……

Although Zhuang Daihua was only a young dragon, her blinding breath was already quite powerful. Half of the black dragons were blinded by the bright light and it would take them some time to regain their sight.

Although black dragons have a certain degree of blindness, this has caused them a lot of trouble for a long time.

"Forget it! There's only one red dragon; even if they escape, they're no threat. The most important thing now is to eliminate the matriarch of that green dragon tribe."

Completely wiping out a team is one way to obtain a large amount of Dragon Coins on Dragon Island.

The final reward increases according to the age level of the defeated team. For example, the green dragon team we just talked about consisted mainly of adult dragons. It was the most basic adult dragon team, so the reward would naturally be the lowest.

For teams composed of young adults and older members, the higher the average age level, the greater the reward after the team is wiped out.

Now, the black dragons intend to cut off the green dragon tribe's escape route—namely, the Mother Dragon, who can teleport and resurrect.

To completely annihilate a team, eliminating the main dragon is the top priority. Otherwise, the enemy can use Mystic Coins to revive the team's adult dragons, eventually turning it into a war of attrition between teams that relies on their accumulated resources.

Currently, the Green Dragon Queen is besieged inside the castle's main hall. There, she uses her teleportation power to gather most of the adult dragons of the Green Dragon tribe.

After their attempt to recruit them failed, the black dragons didn't hesitate any longer and turned to head towards the battlefield in the castle's main hall.

……

"Um... Sister Red Dragon, are you alright?"

Zhong Liuxiu's smooth dragon tail swayed uneasily, and looking at the back and sides of the red dragon, there were already several acid corrosion marks of varying degrees.

"fine."

Not only was the red dragon not seriously injured, but it also seized the opportunity to capture and kill a young black dragon from the group of black dragons, snapping its neck.

Qin He also used Nidhogg's Bite to kill the other young black dragon.

Because Qin He's attack was so swift, and with acid flying everywhere and the black dragons attacking haphazardly, the red dragon assumed that the black dragon had been accidentally killed.

Without asking any further questions, the red dragon swiftly dragged away the young black dragon that Qin He had silently killed, along with it.

A normal young black dragon is emaciated and can only grow to about twelve to thirteen meters long, while a red dragon can carry two of them on its back at the same time.

"By now, the Black Dragon and Green Dragon tribes should have already begun their fierce battle in the castle. It's not advisable to go back until they've decided who's the victor."

Qin He calmly analyzed the situation and casually hid the Nidhogg's Bite in his demiplane ring.

“That’s right, we can’t stay in the castle any longer. As a second choice, we need to find a water source in the wild.”

Developing near lakes and rivers, they don't have to worry about water sources, but they are also vulnerable to attacks from hidden dragons when they are drinking.

Following the red dragon, Qin He and the others found a lake. At the bottom of the lake was a magical crystal that would ensure the water remained clear.

The red dragon drank water by the lake, then returned to join Qin He and the others in ordering food from the dragon cores of the two young black dragons. The corroded wounds on its scales were repaired in the blink of an eye.

When they were surrounded by the black dragon, Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu were just a hair's breadth away from advancing to the level of a young dragon. Now that they have advanced to the level of a young dragon, Qin He is reserving more resources for Zhuang Daihua and Qin Lan.

They both successfully advanced to juvenile dragons, reaching a length of about ten meters. Once they pass through adolescence and reach youth, Qin He and the others will be able to directly participate in battles against adult dragons.

"You guys hide in the bushes, there's movement over there."

Following the sound, one could see several adult dragons fighting and walking through the forest, heading towards the lake.

Blue dragon, brown dragon, gray dragon, shadow dragon... Three blue dragons are fighting two brown dragons, while gray dragon and shadow dragon are taking the opportunity to ambush the blue dragon.

Aside from the purple dragon, amethyst dragon, and orange dragon, the blue dragon's lightning breath is the most powerful of all its conventional breath attacks. In terms of niche competition, brown dragons can fight against blue dragons.

With its wings degenerated, rendering it unable to use wing attacks, and its breath merely consisting of ordinary acid, how can this brown dragon possibly contend with the blue dragon, the second strongest of the chromatic dragons?

The answer is simple: magic and size.

Judging by size alone, the brown dragon is almost comparable to large dragon species like the red and silver dragons. In fact, their brute strength is indeed at a level where they can go toe-to-toe with a red dragon.

Moreover, they have the Gray Dragon and Shadow Dragon as allies. Although the Gray Dragon is relatively weak, its biting attacks can absorb energy to regenerate itself.

Although it does not breathe fire, melee damage dealt by the Grey Dragon is amplified by its age.

Being bitten by an adult gray dragon is equivalent to being attacked by other dragons in their prime.

Conversely, the Shadow Dragon, whose body is filled with negative energy, is immune to the Gray Dragon's energy absorption.

It was clear that these blue dragons were in dire straits. The gray dragons' horrifying bite marks were clearly visible on their bodies, and the shadow dragons' black cloud of negative energy breath was also draining the blue dragons of their strength.

Qin He could even imagine their strategy: the blue dragon would be distracted by the brown dragon, and then the gray dragon and shadow dragon would seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Now, the three-headed blue dragon, caught in the Shadow Dragon's breath, is nearly blinded. While suffering continuous damage, they also have to be wary of a surprise attack from the gray dragon.

The three-headed blue dragon was on the verge of collapse. While a lawful blue dragon is indeed a good choice as a teammate, how can a dying dragon be saved?

Moreover, given the dragon's mindset, it's better to control a gray dragon than to keep three clever blue dragons around.

"This gray dragon is not bad; perhaps we could capture it to use as an ally. What do you all think?"

Although the question was directed at all members, Honglong was asking Qin He.

“It would work, but you have to be careful… the gray dragon’s counterattack is too deadly.”

Gray dragons are not particularly intelligent; they are simply a species of dragon that enjoys hunting. They can indeed be useful to a team when it is profitable.

If they bring it along, Qin He and his group can ambush and kill groups of three to five giant dragons. The gray dragon's domineering characteristics of life-stealing and damage amplification are difficult to counter without powerful ranged means.

Fortunately, neither the green dragon's potent poison nor the black dragon's strong acid posed a significant threat to the gray dragon.

"It's alright, as long as I don't get bitten."

As he spoke, Red Dragon lowered his body into a position that facilitated his power, preparing to launch a surprise attack into the battle.
