Karon lazily lay in his own nest.

During this time, he underwent a brief sleep lasting a month, and his body, under the growth talent of the Superlimit State, has reached over four meters.

This physique has far surpassed the normal size of a Five-Color Dragon hatchling of the same age; it’s undeniable that Riven’s feeding is critical.

Now, Karon can no longer be satisfied with the amount of food Akzhi provides regularly every day.

His appetite under the growth talent of the Superlimit State is much larger than that of a normal hatchling, and his digestive ability is terrifying.

He needs to consume at least twice his body weight in food daily to support his growth and daily activities. Without adequate food supply, his growth would slow, and he would have to reduce daily activities.

Then, like some beasts, he’d lazily lie on the ground, reducing energy consumption.

Relying solely on Riven’s feeding is not a good strategy. Riven doesn’t come every day, and the Little Elf is not a subordinate creature to the Giant Dragon, needing to be attached at all times.

Given this situation, one must find his own ways to prevent delaying growth.

Karon once considered learning some Magic from Riven, whose Magic is undoubtedly convenient for hunting.

However, all of Pick Elf abilities derive from innate Elf Dust, just like how Giant Dragons rely on their own Evil Dragon Blood, resembling Bloodline Mage; these skills can’t be acquired by learning.

In the investigation process, Karon discovered that although Giant Dragons are naturally powerful Magical Creatures, they surprisingly lack a Magic Core.

Or perhaps, the Magic Core is the Evil Dragon Bloodline itself within the Giant Dragon, possibly the same for Bloodline Mage-type Casters.

The Evil Dragon Bloodline has been absorbing and accumulating Magic power for the growth of the Giant Dragon since its birth. Over time, the Evil Dragon Bloodline and Magic flow through every blood vessel, with the heart as the transfer and regulation point of the body’s Magic power.

This makes the Giant Dragon’s Magic as fast and swift as a Warlock, but the Dragon’s Spells need to awaken through continuous sleep, and the awakened spells are not many.

Some unfortunate ones may awaken only a few spells throughout their dragon life, including spells like Item Positioning Skill, considered somewhat redundant, which is undoubtedly a great waste of the Giant Dragon’s powerful Magic Ability.

To most Giant Dragons, their naturally powerful bodies and sharp claws are sufficiently strong, not to mention the Dragon Breath that is stronger than most Magic.

As they age, Giant Dragons naturally grow stronger; simply sleeping makes them stronger without the need to torment themselves.

Moreover, the turbulent Evil Dragon Blood flowing through the Five-Colored Giant Dragons constantly influences them, making it hard for them to calmly meditate and absorb Magic, let alone learn Spells.

Karon is different; he possesses human-like autonomous consciousness and clear intellect to suppress the influence of the Evil Dragon Blood, allowing him to calmly learn Spell knowledge. Currently, the Evil Dragon Blood only distracts him like humans do occasionally.

Karon knows that although Giant Dragons are formidable beings, there exist creatures stronger than Giant Dragons, some of which prey on them as Legendary Species.

Even humans, considered weak from a Giant Dragon’s perspective, often target them as Dragon Hunters, seeing dragon slaying as glory, driven by the motivation of Dragon Treasures.

As a Red Dragon and a man, he enjoys using his bare body and strength to crush enemies and conquer opponents.

But Karon, with an innate fear of insufficient firepower in his soul, feels the need to have more backup strategies, with Magic obviously being a form of strength.

Moreover, from the newly digested inheritance, Karon learned that Legendary Mages can create their own Half-Plane in the Void, possessing such knowledge and ability.

Even if a Mage dies, the Half-Plane won’t fall into enemy hands unless its coordinates are exposed, only falling into the Void until its demise.

This greatly tempts Karon; perhaps the strong Magical Creature Giant Dragon doesn’t need Legendary achievement to create its own Half-Plane.

It’s the safest treasure vault and habitat for any Giant Dragon, like a stable safety house; this security-lacking Karon immediately decides to embark on the path of good learning.

Karon believes he should find an opportunity to discuss this with Akzhi, see if Akzhi possesses such knowledge. But for now, the priority is filling his stomach.

The pond in the canyon is half-frozen, forming a large ice surface, dominated by two White Dragons as an open-air nest, which makes Black Dragon Rosani envious, causing him to hover around the pond daily.

Then, Rosani is driven away by the White Dragon brothers unless he accompanies other hatchlings coming for a drink.

The scene Karon sees upon emerging from his cave is a daily occurrence in the canyon. The White Dragon brothers seem on the verge of slumber, so they lazily spread out like Huskies on the ice after chasing away the Black Dragon.

Upon seeing Karon approaching, they get up, and the irreverent Gomot courteously greets his idol from the heart: "You’re awake, Karon, you’ve grown stronger again."

The Black Dragon Rosani takes the chance to come over and greet Karon too.

Karon nods, glancing around, seeing most awake hatchlings here, so he asks: "I’m going hunting in the forest. Do you want to join?"
