The Most Terrifying! The Best!

Luo Yun and Ya Ji didn't rush into the Ancient Forest to find a nesting spot. Instead, they took a rest on its outskirts to recover their stamina.

Perhaps it was because Fire Dragons often appeared near the Ancient Forest, but many of the local environmental creatures, upon sensing a shadow, skillfully hid themselves in the undergrowth.

Smaller carnivorous dragons, like Rathians, lurked quietly in the shadows of the forest, waiting for the Fire Dragons to finish their hunt so they could scavenge for leftovers. Hate Birds circled in the sky, searching for their next meal.

Over the years, Luo Yun's ability to sense Earth Vein Energy had grown stronger and stronger. The moment he landed, he was enveloped by the rich life energy in the air. If the timing were right, he truly wanted to try absorbing Earth Vein Energy in this environment.

Through his observations of Ya Ji over the years, he had also discovered that she couldn't actively absorb Earth Vein Energy; she was in a state of unconscious, passive absorption.

The New World itself was the best location for Ancient Dragons to perform their Ancient Dragon Crossing. After Ancient Dragons died of old age, the vast life energy within their bodies would be absorbed by the Earth Veins and then transported to various parts of the New World.

As a result, over the years, the Earth Vein Energy in the New World had become incredibly dense. Living in such an environment for extended periods meant that the average strength of monsters in the New World was often greater than those in the Old World.

Prolonged exposure to environments influenced by Earth Vein Energy, passively being permeated by it, had strengthened their physiques. Those with good talent even underwent transformations; the denser the Earth Vein Energy in an area, the faster and stronger these changes became.

Ya Ji was one of those with exceptional talent, while Luo Yun was a cheater who could actively absorb Earth Vein Energy. Yet, even so, his efficiency in absorbing Earth Vein Energy was about the same as Ya Ji's.

For a long time, Luo Yun thought Ya Ji was cheating. Her passive absorption of Earth Vein Energy could match his active absorption. If it weren't for Luo Yun's failed attempts to teach her active absorption, Ya Ji's growth rate would likely have been even faster.

Just as Luo Yun and Ya Ji were drinking water, a Kulu-Ya-Ku carrying an egg waddled out leisurely. When its gaze fell upon Ya Ji, it let out a squawk and began to flail its limbs in fright. It didn't even bother to pick up the egg it dropped, turning to flee immediately, letting out terrified cries.

That egg isn't yours, I didn't steal your egg!!

Listening to its cries, Luo Yun imagined this thought.

Alright, perhaps the Kulu-Ya-Ku didn't mean that. But seeing its panicked reaction upon spotting a Female Fire Dragon, it likely had tried to steal a Female Fire Dragon's egg many times and had been disciplined for it, which explained its extreme reaction.

Ya Ji tilted her head, confused by the fleeting Kulu-Ya-Ku. Seeing Luo Yun deep in thought, she nuzzled his neck and then looked towards the towering Ancient Forest, her eyes filled with fighting spirit!

The New World was the opposite of the Old World. Male Fire Dragons made up a much smaller proportion of the Fire Dragon population than Female Fire Dragons. Therefore, Male Fire Dragons in the New World did not practice monogamy but rather a harem system.

However, among all the mates of a Male Fire Dragon, only the strongest "main wife" could reside with the Male Fire Dragon in the Ancient Forest. Other "concubines" could only leave after mating and live alone in the Great Antlion Desert, raising their young by themselves.

Consequently, the Fire Dragons inhabiting the Ancient Forest were either mated pairs or dragons that had not yet reached the age to mate.

Therefore, if Luo Yun hadn't existed, or if Luo Yun's strength was insufficient, she wouldn't have come to the Ancient Forest at this age. Instead, she would have waited until she was older and, like other Female Fire Dragons living in the Great Antlion Desert, come from the Great Antlion Desert to choose a Male Fire Dragon she fancied, defeat her rivals, and then stay.

After resting, the two dragons exchanged a look, let out powerful roars, and shot into the sky like arrows released from a bow, beginning to circle the Ancient Forest.

This was both a selection of a nesting location and a declaration of their arrival to the Fire Dragons inhabiting the Ancient Forest.

As if receiving their "challenge," many Male Fire Dragons left their nests, flapping their wings. Their cold, vertical pupils reflected the figures of the two dragons.

The hierarchy among Fire Dragons was quite strict. The closer a Male Fire Dragon was to the top of the Ancient Forest, the stronger it was, and its mates would naturally not be weak.

Luo Yun didn't foolishly charge straight up. The Ancient Forest was vast, and even flying around it once took a considerable amount of time.

The fact that these Male Fire Dragons voluntarily left their nests and flew in the air allowed Luo Yun to better select opponents to challenge or suitable heights for nesting.

Soon, under his sharp gaze, he immediately selected a Male Fire Dragon with deep red scales, slightly larger than a normal Male Fire Dragon, and appearing quite robust. Its location was roughly in the upper-middle section of the Ancient Forest.

After calling out to Ya Ji, he immediately accelerated and flew towards it, hovering not far from the Male Fire Dragon and letting out a roar.

Luo Yun initiated the provocation first, issuing a challenge to the opponent. This battle could only end when one party was driven away or killed.

Provoked by Luo Yun, the Male Fire Dragon's gaze grew colder, and its rage intensified. It hadn't expected this young, newly arrived Fire Dragon to dare choose it as an opponent.

It suddenly opened its mouth, filled with sharp teeth, and lunged at Luo Yun, relying on its size advantage.

At the same time, a green Female Fire Dragon also flew out. It was clearly the mate of this Male Fire Dragon. It charged towards Luo Yun, but was forcefully intercepted by Ya Ji halfway.

Ya Ji slammed into the other dragon like a meteor, and the two Female Fire Dragons grappled and bit at each other in the air, falling onto the Ancient Forest and snapping branch after branch.

Compared to Male Fire Dragons, Female Fire Dragons were stronger in ground combat. As soon as she landed, Ya Ji immediately adjusted her posture and initiated a Dragon Charge.

The Female Fire Dragon was still somewhat surprised. Although Ya Ji's surprise attack had gained the initiative, it hadn't gained the upper hand in the aerial struggle despite its size advantage.

Seeing Ya Ji charging at it, the Female Fire Dragon was not intimidated.

"My size is so much greater than yours, and you dare to charge at me first?"

Thus, feeling insulted, the Female Fire Dragon decisively chose to counter-charge!

Then.

The Female Fire Dragon and Ya Ji collided!

The Female Fire Dragon was sent flying!

In this brutal collision, the scales on the parts where the Female Fire Dragon and Ya Ji made contact exploded, blood gushed out, and many thorns broke off. However, the result was that the Female Fire Dragon was at a disadvantage in terms of strength and was knocked away.

However, this collision only resulted in superficial wounds.

In the air, the Female Fire Dragon adjusted its body by flapping its wings and lunged at Ya Ji with bloodshot eyes.

Next, fangs, claws, bites, venom, and crimson blood became the main theme between them.

The battle between Female Fire Dragons was not like that of Wyvern Species at all; instead, it possessed the brutality of a Beast Dragon Species.

Every collision, every bite, every scratch took away a piece of flesh.

Hot blood splattered in the air, and each collision between the behemoths produced a dull thud, inadvertently snapping tree branches around them.

Fireballs, which could explode when spat from their mouths, had an area-of-effect blast that destroyed the surrounding environment.

Their tails, equipped with well-developed venom glands, were like heavy hammers, capable of piercing tough dragon scales to attack internal organs.

Among the disputes between Fire Dragons, the battles between Female Fire Dragons were the most brutal, and the mortality rate was the highest!
