A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 718: Chapter 422: Galos: ”Too Much Charm, Troubling the Dragons.” (Part 2)

Bringing along these two Golden Dragons is equivalent to having two ”protective talismans” and ”shields” by your side, saving you from many potential troubles.

Golden Dragon Ovis was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but then he chuckled softly.

He understood Galos’ intention and agreed cheerfully, ”No problem, let them follow you and act as guides. If anything happens, they can notify me immediately.”

After getting this assurance, Galos felt much more at ease.

Soon after, as time passed, the large gathering of giant dragons hovering over the competition sea area gradually dispersed, flapping their various dragon wings in different directions.

Most returned to their own other dragon domains.

However, some giant dragons, perhaps never having set foot in the Eternal Radiance Dragon Domain before, lingered out of curiosity and admiration for this leading dragon domain, wanting to personally experience its unique environment and atmosphere.

Galos was among the latter.

He intended to take this opportunity to roam freely in this legendary land and feel the local dragon customs of the Metal Dragon Holy Land personally.

Deborah and Nasha, though being Metal Dragons, were also visiting the Eternal Radiance Dragon Domain for the first time, filled with novelty in their hearts, so they excitedly followed Galos to wander around, showing no intention of leaving immediately.

About half an hour later.

The group arrived above the grand main island of the Eternal Radiance Dragon Domain, slowly gliding over a vast area filled with rolling green hills and dense forests.

During this time, Galos keenly observed that this region seemed to be divided into different blocks.

Inside, a large variety of fierce beasts and magic creatures were being raised.

Furthermore, every short distance, the average level of beasts and monsters in the area showed a significant stepwise increase.

Many young Metal Dragons were active in these areas, either acting alone or in groups of three to five, engaging in intense battles with those beasts and monsters, evidently honing their combat skills and hunting techniques through this.

What caught Galos’ attention even more was that whenever a Metal Dragon was overly reckless, choosing beasts far beyond its strength as opponents and thus falling into danger with life-threatening situations, a Legendary Giant Dragon would always dive down timely from the high clouds somewhere, intervening to resolve the crisis.

”This is one of the training grounds established within the Dragon Domain.”

Deborah explained to Galos beside him, with a familiar tone: ”In our Raging Waves Dragon Domain, we also have similar venues with similar functions.”

”Usually, dragons that have not yet reached adulthood are allowed to operate and hunt within corresponding areas based on different age groups to practice the most basic combat skills and survival abilities.”

”Furthermore, each training area intentionally sets several exceptionally powerful ’Beast Kings’.”

”Any giant dragon can apply to the rotating Guardian Elder to challenge these Beast Kings.”

”If the challenge is successful, not only can one earn a substantial reward from the dragon domain, one can also gain a significant honor. But if the challenge fails and unfortunately falls into danger requiring elder intervention to save, then the challenger’s parents would need to pay a considerable ’protection fee’ to the elders as compensation afterward.”

”Encountering danger outside of challenges also requires paying a protection fee, although the fee would be lower based on the situation.”

Just then, Golden Dragon Alberto returned from another direction, slightly breathless, with an expression of relief on his face.

”Finally managed to shake off Zafiri! Haha, guess what? She ran into Kalus, who had just recovered from his injuries, and immediately changed her target, chasing after him to ask ’what it’s like to lose to the Red Iron Evil Dragon’! Kalus’ expression, tsk tsk...”

He said gloatingly.

Nasha glanced at her brother and, with a teasing tone, said to Galos, ”Alberto, this guy, often bit off more than he could chew and went to challenge Beast Kings beyond his level. Tsk, because of him, my father ended up paying countless protection fees to the Guardian Elders.”

Listening to their stories, Galos couldn’t help but sigh internally. The growth environment for Metal Dragon offspring is truly worlds apart from that of Evil Dragons.

There are specially planned, relatively safe training grounds where they can practice battles without fear.

The only consequence they need to worry about is their parents’ possible wrath over the expensive ”protection fees” after failing due to overestimating themselves.

In contrast, the road to growth for Evil Dragons is undoubtedly much more harsh, with a high fatality rate at every step.

However, from the macro-development strategies of the clan, the choice between Metal Dragons and Evil Dragons has its pros and cons.

Because Metal Dragons emphasize the quality and legacy of their offspring, they often choose optimal birth and upbringing, strictly controlling the number of offspring and investing significant resources in nurturing them; whereas Evil Dragons mostly indulge and do not care about offspring quantity or quality, resulting in offspring numbers being several times or even ten times more than Metal Dragons’.

Even though most Evil Dragon offspring perish during the harsh competition of youth, as long as a small number survive and grow up, they tend to be strong, having been hardened by the harshest environment, with figures like Gordon being among only a few exceptions.
