Dry hot winds blow the earth covered by endless yellow sand and rough rocks.

The jagged bones that were inadvertently exposed and shallow under the sand and gravel were re-covered by the raised sand after a few breaths.

Natural selection, the law of nature is vividly interpreted in this barren land.

There is often no clear line between predator and prey.

The hovering eagle finds its prey, and its iconic tail peeking out of the dunes indicates that a fat rattlesnake is hiding there.

The predator in the sky folded his wings and launched a culling from the air, as usual.

But just as its claws were about to touch the snake's body hidden under the sand, the rattlesnake's swaying tail suddenly released a ripple sound wave.

This sudden counterattack caused the eagle vulture's body to lose its alignment in an instant, and it plunged directly into the sand dune.

Before it could recover enough to react, the hapless bastard was torn open by a claw with ochre-colored scales.

Claws? These are not rattlesnakes' organs.

A reptile with a claw between its claws, a throat full of sharp teeth, and a rattlesnake's tail-like reptile shook off the sand and walked towards its prey.

This reptile has two clumps of sarcoma on its neck, which are special neck folds that have not yet developed striae.

It is a juvenile rattle-tailed dragon.

The most accustomed hunting method of this wingless land-choking dragon beast is to trap and kill it by relying on its rattlesnake-like tail disguised as eagle vulture's food.

After a successful ambush, it did not immediately begin to feast on large chunks, but carefully and quickly dragged its prey into the burrow, which had already been dug.

It is still in its youth and must be cautious.

Even if he becomes a full adult, he will have to be careful in this area to become a top hunter who can use the dragon language and even master the power of magic.

Because in this desert, there is a far more powerful overlord than it and its kind.

Although there is still a trace of blood relationship between those creatures and rattletails, more often than not, rattletails can only be regarded as a concoction in their recipes.

Or a slave with some special talents.

"Patu!"

With a gust of wind mixed with the roar of the dragon, the rattle-tailed dragon, which was enjoying its food in the lair, immediately rolled over and poked out of the gravel crypt.

Needless to say, there aren't many creatures that can speak dragon language. In this land, apart from the other subspecies of dragons that are about the same position in the food chain as it, only the true rulers of the blue dragon's lair, the true five-colored dragons, can speak such a cohesive dragon language.

Apparently only the one who knew his name existed.

"Your Excellency, Quest. ”

Seeing who it was, Pattu quickly pulled out of the crypt, its tail swaying and hissing as if to express inner joy.

Prostrated in front of him was none other than one of the land's true ruling class, Quest Fetan, a young blue dragon who had come to collect "offerings" from his minions between patrolling the territory.

Dragons are undoubtedly the most gifted of all dragon-blooded creatures.

Even if it is a blue dragon with a juvenile body, as a true dragon with the size second only to the red dragon among the five-colored dragons, in his infancy, Quest was more than 15 feet tall when he landed on all fours.

The thick neck, powerful forelimbs, sharp claws, symmetrical horns that curve upwards, and blue scales all tell the other dragons that this race is noble and powerful.

Although he had grown to the stage of youth, Patu had to accept the fact that he was still slightly smaller than a young blue dragon in terms of size.

And this fact is generally the most important distinction between food and predator in nature.

Luckily, Patu doesn't become food, it's a servant of the young blue dragon in front of him, and all he needs to do is contribute his own labor—do some labor according to his master's wishes—such as digging a hole, in exchange for shelter.

Yes, it's asylum.

Its owner is the young blue dragon standing in front of him at this time, our protagonist Ques Fetan.

As a member of the traverser, Zhao Rui was just an ordinary programmer before the author of this book made the traversal successful. He doesn't like to smoke, drink, or burn his hair, and his biggest hobby is to run games like Dungeons & Dragons.

At a reunion of group members after a running group, he got drunk because of drinking. When he woke up, he was faced with the strange reality that he had become a blue dragon that had just broken out of the egg.

There is no need to doubt that as the second most powerful blue dragon among the five-colored dragons, even in the infant dragon stage, it is a creature with extremely high intelligence.

It's just that the brain of this newborn dragon still can't handle the ability of an adult to think.

After getting acquainted with his body, due to the headache caused by the mixing of more than twenty years of human memory and the knowledge of the dragon bloodline, Quest had to eat a lot of food every day, and could only sleep to sort out and digest the knowledge in his brain - this was actually the superpower he wanted to have the most when he was in school.

Lying down and learning the knowledge was simply the only thing that could be comforted since he had just crossed over.

The Blue Dragon belongs to the Order Camp among the Five-Colored Dragons.

The intuitive embodiment is that the blue dragon is accustomed to relying on the bloodline, and then builds a group to live in a group, and they belong to the dragon with certain social attributes.

The way they live in a group gives them some habits that are very different from those of all other dragons.

Especially in terms of raising offspring, unlike other free-range forms of five-colored dragons, all the newborn dragon eggs of the blue dragon will be gathered and raised and protected by the entire population, so that the offspring can more safely pass through the fragile young dragon and juvenile dragon stage until they reach the youth stage.

This also dilutes the blue dragon's dependence on parents in the young dragon stage, and more often the blue dragon identifies with blood and race. And the blue dragon population will sometimes choose to hatch dragon eggs that do not belong to them, as long as it is not a hostile camp, the born dragons will be affected by the blue dragon population and join the blue dragon family that hatches and raises them.

And it is for this reason that our protagonist, Quis Fetan, was found and given the opportunity to be hatched.

In fact, the fact that he was found was a very coincidental thing.

Back in times that were even older than the ancient, when the land was not filled with hot winds and rough yellow sand.

A country that once had a splendid civilization has built many miraculous deeds on this land.

The history of this civilization is too old for the truth to be verified. Only in the legends of the Immortal Race can we glimpse the remnants of the scales and claws of that civilization.

And the dragon happens to be a creature that can live for a long time, and the old guy with an age of more than 10,000 years can find a lot among the dragons.

Therefore, among the dragons there is a secret story about this place in one way or another.

Some dragon legends have it that the descendants of the Elemental Plane Lords founded this civilization, because there are dragons who have unearthed many broken circle materials in the ruins of this civilization that can enslave the elemental djinn.

There is also a legend that it may be a floating city of the Nethrel civilization, the shining essence of the arcane civilization, which is a pioneering city ruled by the Grand Arcanist Gate.

As for the reason for the demise of this civilization, it was due to the mass fall of the floating city that destroyed the Nanether civilization - which also explains why the land has become so desolate, and there are still many places with unknown energy radiation to this day.

In addition, there are more knowledgeable ones, presumably a branch of the ancient Imaska civilization, due to the fact that there are more mechanical artifacts than other arcane civilizations.

......

All kinds of inferences are difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Dragons live long enough that each dragon often develops its own hobbies.

The blue dragon that belongs to the five-colored dragon, in addition to the thirst for wealth by the nature of the race, is not like the red dragon likes to find fault and fight, nor is it like the green dragon and the black dragon who are unreasonably suspicious and willing to frame others or suspect that they have encountered some conspiracy, and will not be like the white dragon like a beast to eat and wait for death.

As creatures that tend to be on the side of order, blue dragons tend to develop a hobby of exploring to find hidden histories over the course of their long lives.

They are passionate about the process of discovery and are very satisfied when they finally receive the answers.

Salotta, a legendary dragon who is a well-known among the race, is the leader of the Blue Dragon Clan in the desert region known as Eria and is a natural lover of discovering the secrets of the desert's buried history.

As an adult, he has launched dozens of explorations into the land where the population is dominant, and has uncovered many benefits in the process of exploring these ruins. One of these benefits is that it became legendary at the stage of the old dragon.

The rewards of exploring and discovering secrets have made him at least two years older!

With him as their leader, the Blue Dragons' rule over the land is even more secure.

Fifteen blue dragons over the age of adults, and the same number or even more of them were young dragons, juvenile dragons, and hatchlings. Counting the low reproduction efficiency of the dragon race, such a population size can really be called thriving!

Because of this, this tireless desire to explore did not decline until Salotta grew from the Old Dragon Rank to the Extremely Old Dragon.

On the one hand, most of the ruins that could be explored had been found, and the most valuable of them had been excavated by him.

The rest of the place is either too dangerous for even a legendary dragon, or it's not worth exploring.

After all, the blue dragon is not a dragon species with an extreme inquisitive habit like the scroll dragon, and the instinct of order makes their behavior quite rational - the secret that cannot bring "benefits" to themselves, and even if it exists, it is only an interest, not an imperative.

Just before Salotta had finished his evolution into an extremely old dragon and had been asleep for several years, he embarked on his last expedition to date.

It was this time, buried in what resembled an incubation room, that he discovered Quest Fetan.

Or the dragon egg named Quis Fetan, but also the eggs of some other dragon species and wurms were found. But with the exception of the lucky Quis, the other dragon eggs have been inactivated over the years and have become fossils.

It just so happened that the dragon egg discovered by the legendary blue dragon belonged to the blue dragon race, so Salotta brought it back to the dragon's lair and handed it over to the adult blue dragon in the group who was responsible for hatching and educating young dragons and young dragons.

This has nothing to do with good or evil, it is just out of the blue dragon's natural rationality. Due to the low breeding efficiency, even rival dragons rarely do anything to damage the eggs, and each additional dragon brings more power to the entire population.
