Chapter 380: Just Passing By the Golden Fire Dragon.
“Roarrrr!!!”
Jie Jie, after a long absence, came to the mountainous land of Dragon Crystals to overlook the volcano and saw a Cang Huo Long dragon soaring across the sky heading south.
The Cang Huo Longs have already begun their southern migration for the breeding season.
If they’re lucky, they might meet the eagerly awaiting Cherry Fire Dragons on the Coral Land Plateau.
Occasionally, one can see a Cang Huo Long starting an aerial battle early to eliminate competitors along the way.
More so, Male Fire Dragons are seen joining in for the fun.
There shouldn’t be any Male Fire Dragons at the Dragon Crystal Land; naturally, the two Male Fire Dragons in the airspace belong to him.
It was only that among the four successfully hatched Dragon Eggs, there was another Male Fire Dragon named Mu Piao who hasn’t been spotted yet.
As one Cang Huo Long fled in disarray and another broke free from the encirclement before continuing its flight south, the aerial battle concluded.
The two Male Fire Dragons dove towards Jie Jie, flapping their wings to land beside him, then began arguing due to proximity.
During the breeding period, male fire dragons of the same sex usually detest each other. That they could still be companions shows some brotherly bond, also as a means to cope with the high-pressure environment of the Dragon Crystal Land.
After a bit of roughhousing, the two Male Fire Dragons calmed down by his side, quietly gazing towards the southern sky.
Since there are no Cherry Fire Dragons in the Dragon Crystal Land, the Cang Huo Longs migrate south. Similarly, without wild Female Fire Dragons in this area, these two seem to have developed thoughts of traveling far.
Jie Jie slightly tilted his head towards the southern sky; he never intended to restrict the two dragons from staying by his side forever.
The Male Fire Dragon shook its body, then leaned closer, seemingly reluctant to leave.
Tie Guo rubbed against him, emitting a prolonged mating call.
“Hmm?!”
Jie Jie froze, staring wide-eyed at the somewhat odd Male Fire Dragon beside him, noticing the pleading look in its eyes.
On the side, Ci Wan started grumbling curses but edged closer with similar flattery.
His gaze narrowed slightly as he thought, then coldly spread his wings, shoving the two away.
Apparently, these two were still thinking about Lian Pen, wanting to gain favor to get closer to it.
Why must his own pigs eye his own cabbage?
But just as he stood up to drive the two Male Fire Dragons out of the Dragon Crystal Land, a roar that made the male fire dragons’ souls tremble echoed through the mountains.
The two Male Fire Dragons immediately straightened their bodies, flapped their wings, abandoned Jie Jie, and flew towards the direction of the roar.
Watching Tie Guo and Ci Wan fly off, Jie Jie perked up his ears to identify the still echoing roar.
Clearly, it wasn’t his “cabbage” calling for mates, but there shouldn’t be any other Female Fire Dragons in the Dragon Crystal Land either.
When he lifted his gaze, he saw more Cang Huo Longs approaching from other directions.
Perhaps it wasn’t a Female Fire Dragon, but rather the existence of a female fire dragon.
After all, one cannot judge whether the fire dragon seeking a mate is a Female Fire Dragon or a Cherry Fire Dragon based solely on its call… or perhaps even a Golden Fire Dragon.
Before meeting face-to-face, the fire dragons can only determine that the caller is a female fire dragon with a loud and pleasant voice.
Jie Jie decided to join in the commotion too. Transforming into a Spiny Dragon, he flapped his wings and observed while flying towards the direction of the roar, seeing the congregation of fire dragons competing in the distant skies.
It was evident that the female fire dragon’s mating call had been going on for quite some time. Not only the Cang Huo Longs above and below the Dragon Crystal Land, but even the Fire Dragons and Cang Huo Longs appearing in the surrounding mountainous areas of the Dragon Crystal Land were attracted over, causing chaotic aerial battles in the sky.
Looking at this scene, he felt a little déjà vu.
He remembered that something similar happened in the Ancient Tree Forest when a certain Female Fire Dragon’s call gathered all nearby Male Fire Dragons—
Jie Jie vigorously shook his head, shaking off those unpleasant memories.
His gaze pierced through the thin clouds, finally locking onto one of the only two female fire dragons currently present in the Dragon Crystal Land.
She was glaringly conspicuous under the moonlight.
Her golden shell was shimmering brilliantly, like a golden moon fallen to the ground.
That moon rested on a branch of the Dragon Crystal, silently watching the competition among the airborne fire dragons.
This was a prime-aged Golden Fire Dragon, a rare species of Female Fire Dragon.
Upon seeing the competition in the sky for the affection of the opposite sex, it seemed somewhat inappropriate.
Just like how the subspecies Cherry Fire Dragon and subspecies Cang Huo Long choose mates, the rare Golden Fire Dragon would only select another rare Silver Fire Dragon as a mate.
He wasn’t sure if the fire dragons could aesthetically satisfy and develop mating desires for individuals of different sub-species within the same species, or if there was reproductive isolation.
It’s also possible that these fire dragons didn’t intend to vie for the Golden Fire Dragon’s affection, but were deceived into coming, saw a lot of their kind, and simply joined the Great Mixed Battle anyway.
But whatever these fire dragons think has nothing to do with the Golden Fire Dragon; they can only become entertainment for the queen on the golden moon when she searches for a mate.
Because even the most powerful individual among these fire dragons cannot defeat the Silver Fire Dragon, which rivals the Ancient Dragon Xiang in strength.
And his “pigs” became part of the entertainment too.
Jie Jie watched the Male Fire Dragons among the Cang Huo Longs; the choice of the Golden Fire Dragon wasn’t important. He admired how the two Male Fire Dragons could fight valiantly in a sky originally belonging to the Cang Huo Longs.
Though some Cang Huo Longs retreated, the two Male Fire Dragon brothers supported each other and remained resilient.
The Golden Fire Dragon flew into the sky, coldly rebuking any fire dragon daring to approach, and projected its clear roar towards the sky and mountains.
Such a grand spectacle of fire dragon riots might continue for a long time, until the end of the breeding season, or until the Golden Fire Dragon finds a Silver Fire Dragon.
Jie Jie’s keen insight revealed that the Golden Fire Dragon’s wing bones were four in number, indicating it was a native individual evolved in the New Continent, definitely not migrated from the Original Continent.
The clear roar and the riot of fire dragons similarly affected the activities of other monsters. The Flame King Dragon at the Dragon Crystal Land glanced at the chaos in the sky.
Although this place can no longer be called his territory, it doesn’t mean he will tolerate these particularly unruly fire dragons during this breeding season.
“ROARRRRR!!!”
The Flame King Dragon roared furiously, its angry red flames drawing the attention of the Golden Fire Dragon.
It didn’t care about male fire dragons fighting for mates being drawn here; a qualified large-scale male fire dragon melee could demonstrate the charm of the core female fire dragon, making male fire dragons flock to her, possibly even finding a suitable mate among them.
But the Flame King Dragon below trying to obstruct her search for a husband?
Impossible!!!
Do you know how old she is? Do you know how many water eggs she’s hugged throughout her life?! Do you know the despair of waiting for dragon eggs to rot without hatching?!
The irritable older unmarried mother dragon roared angrily, initiating a dive towards the Flame King Dragon pouncing from the ground.
