Dragons absolutely do not allow others to approach their treasures, let alone Jona Velli picking them up directly.
This behavior was more serious than a deliberate provocation. Generally, both sides would have a violent clash, resulting in severe injury at the very least.
"Have they already left?"
Jona Velli couldn't quite figure out why they would leave. Although Green Dragons were more treacherous and cunning than Black Dragons, it didn't mean they were weak.
On the contrary, among the Five-Color Dragons, there were no weak species.
Just then, the sound of leather flapping against the air was heard, and a fiery Red Dragon shadow landed beside her.
Friel took in Jona Velli's reaction, leading to a bold guess in her heart.
"What are you testing? Do you know the dragons who lived here before?"
Jona Velli snapped back to her senses, cleared the messy thoughts from her mind, and put the lightning element magic crystal ore into her dragon mouth.
Regardless of all that, she would improve herself first. Any schemes or plots were just trivial tricks in the face of true strength.
"I suppose I know them, but I wouldn't call it a good memory."
Friel nodded thoughtfully. It was obvious what would happen to Jona Velli, a White Dragon, staying with two cunning Green Dragons.
Friel picked up a piece of fire element magic crystal ore, examined it, and handed it to Jona Velli.
Jona Velli was stunned and looked at Friel in confusion.
Friel's expression remained unchanged as she spoke solemnly.
"Increase your mana capacity. Hurry up."
Jona Velli looked enlightened, took the magic crystal, and swallowed it in one gulp.
A fiery sensation spread through her mouth as the hard stone was easily crushed by sharp dragon teeth, making a cracking sound.
"Friel, I think you should eat some too. After all, this stuff might improve you, like your flame intensity."
"Although the probability is low, it's guaranteed to at least slightly increase your mana capacity or scale hardness."
Dragons eating ores can improve their scale hardness and defensive power, though the effect varies in strength.
Generally, Five-Color Dragons can improve by gnawing on ores, but the effect isn't very strong, although it causes elemental attachment to the corresponding elemental scales.
Metal Dragons, however, see more significant effects from gnawing on ores of their corresponding element. They naturally possess a metallic texture; eating them purifies the scale texture, making them harder and stronger in defense, far exceeding the bonuses Five-Color Dragons get from eating ores.
Thus, generally speaking, within the same realm, Five-Color Dragons cannot defeat Metal Dragons.
Although reluctant to admit it, this was an indisputable fact and a harsh reality.
Even the Red Dragon, the head of the Chromatic Dragons, was suppressed by the Gold Dragon, the head of the Metal Dragons.
However, the Gold Dragon's strength stemmed from its own off-the-charts stats.
Friel was about to refuse Jona Velli's suggestion, but she seemed to think of something, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
'There's no rush; it's better to improve steadily.'
Thinking this to herself, Friel nodded.
"Fine, then I'll only take 90% of the fire element magic crystal ore."
Hearing this, Jona Velli's expression stiffened, followed by shock.
"What? You're really pushing it, aren't you? I was kind enough to share some with you, and you're really not being polite, taking it all for yourself."
"I think I need 40%. After all, fire element magic crystal ore is a rare resource."
Friel, for once, wasn't stingy and nodded.
"Alright."
Then, Jona Velli raised a dragon finger and pointed below.
"There's good stuff down there. Want to go down and see?"
Friel looked at the ground. This was a flat Dragons Lair, but she knew it was built suspended in the air, with a bottomless cavern below.
Why bottomless? Because her perception couldn't reach the bottom.
Friel nodded her dragon head and spread her dragon wings.
"Let's go."
The two dragons flew toward the edge of the Dragons Lair, and in just a few seconds, they saw the bottomless pit below.
Adjusting their positions, one red and one White Dragon dove downward.
'Little Shunzi, Medusa, lead the White Crystal Knights to transport these magic crystal ores back to the White Crystal City.'
'Yes, Great Master.'
The two dragons were incredibly fast and soon disappeared into the darkness.
After flying for an unknown amount of time, Jona Velli and Friel looked at each other, seeing surprise in each other's dragon eyes.
