[Whether to summon the dragon beast]
Standing on the round altar, a message like this popped up on Toji Hisami’s panel, which he immediately closed.
He took out the golden dragon claw collected after killing from the storage equipment, and added a drop of dragon blood essence.
Toji Hisami threw them onto the round altar.
The next moment, golden light erupted from the round altar, swallowing the flesh and blood directly on it.
Threads of gold emerged from the entire altar, carving mysterious patterns on the originally blank ground.
This pattern could vaguely be seen as a giant dragon, but after the last stroke of the outline was completed, the whole thing produced a roar.
[The golden and copper flying dragon nest has been upgraded to the golden flying dragon nest]
[The lower dragon beast has purified the blood of the golden dragon, possesses strong physical defense capabilities and a certain amount of magic resistance, and has good flying ability]
[3~6 growth-stage dragon beasts can be generated every week, and there is a certain probability that a high-level golden dragon will appear directly]
The corner of Toji Hisami’s mouth raised an arc.
As expected, the golden dragon’s claw and blood strengthened the nest.
They directly purified the dragon beast’s bloodline and upgraded it into a golden flying dragon, with additional magic resistance.
More importantly, the dragon beasts born every week directly changed from the juvenile stage to the growth stage, saving a lot of breeding time.
After confirming that the lair had been upgraded, Toji Hisami clicked on recruitment.
A ball of golden light suddenly appeared on the round altar, and then the golden light dispersed.
One ray, two rays, three rays, four rays.
Finally, four dragon beasts appeared on the round altar, but when Toji Hisami saw one of them, his eyes couldn’t help but light up.
Elara and Enlina behind him also showed expressions of surprise.
Because among the four dragon beasts, a true golden dragon had actually appeared!
The appearance of the golden dragon was completely different from other golden flying dragons, and the golden luster on the fine scales across its whole body was far more natural.
Moreover, the long horns and eyebrows on its head were more powerful, not as ferocious as ordinary golden flying dragons.
Roar!
The golden dragon raised its head and let out a loud roar, spread its wings behind its back, and flew out from the round altar.
The other three golden flying dragons were obviously led by it and followed behind.
The four dragon beasts quickly expanded in size after leaving the round altar, soon becoming behemoths.
In its growth stage, the golden dragon was about twelve meters long and had a wingspan of twenty-five meters, making it truly majestic.
The golden flying dragons in the growth stage were slightly smaller, measuring ten meters long with a wingspan of twenty meters.
The four dragon beasts circled in the sky, attracting the attention of countless people below.
Finally, the lead golden dragon roared happily a few times before falling back to the mountain peak and crawling in front of Toji Hisami.
The leader of the golden dragon placed its big head in front of Toji Hisami and gently rubbed against Toji Hisami’s thigh, being extremely docile.
[Golden dragon, growth stage, LV30, fire and metal attributes]
[HP 20,000, attack 8,000, defense 15,000, mana 6,000]
[Loyalty: 100%]
[Skills: Dragon Breath, Dragon Strike, Golden Light Dragon Body]
[Characteristics: Longwei]
As Toji Hisami’s recruited dragon beast, he could easily view the attributes of the golden dragon.
It had to be said that the Dragon Race was worthy of being the darling of the world and standing at the top of the biological chain.
For a mere golden dragon in its growth stage, its individual attributes were no weaker than those of Mata and the others.
Dragon Breath and Dragon Strike were standard skills of the Dragon Race, so there was not much to be said about them.
Longwei was also a defining characteristic of the orthodox Dragon Race and was never absent.
The Golden Light Dragon Body was a unique skill of the golden dragon, which could instantly strengthen its defense.
It was exceptionally suitable for resisting attacks or engaging in direct combat.
The original Transcendent golden dragon, relying solely on this skill, had been able to tear out spatial cracks around its body and resist void lightning strikes.
Toji Hisami had only been able to cut off the golden dragon’s arm by relying on his magical attacks and Lyra’s assistance.
For a purely physical attack, Toji Hisami estimated that he might not have been able to take it down even if he had used all his strength at the start.
The golden dragon’s physical defense was fully maxed out, though its magic resistance was a bit lacking.
Of course, compared to humans, the golden dragon’s magic resistance would not be much worse no matter how bad it was.
He patted the golden dragon’s big head with satisfaction. The creature snored contentedly, stood up, and took a position beside Toji Hisami.
Its huge tail and wings wrapped around Toji Hisami, and it roared at the three golden flying dragons in front.
The golden flying dragons immediately knelt down together, facing Toji Hisami and the golden dragon.

[Skill: Dragon Flame Bullet]
Compared with the golden dragon, although the name had an extra character for "flying", it seemed there was not much difference on the surface.
However, in terms of raw attributes, the gap was substantial.
The golden dragon would upgrade to a giant dragon later on, belonging to the orthodox Dragon Race.
Even if a flying dragon was raised to the very top, it remained merely a lower-level dragon species, at most strengthened because it contained the bloodline of the upper-level Dragon Race.
However, Toji Hisami was not picky; at the very least, it was far better than a Yaron.
He granted Elara and Enlina the authority to recruit dragon beasts.
In this way, the two of them could continue to recruit dragon beasts after he departed.
Even if there were only three per week, there would be more than ten in a month. The power of dragon beasts operating in groups could not be underestimated.
If one or two more golden dragons emerged from the pool, it would yield a massive profit.
The golden dragon led the three flying dragons to pick a cave on the cliff face to serve as their living nest.
The golden dragon occupied the top position while the flying dragons stayed below, maintaining a strict hierarchy between them.
By this time, the people in the surrounding territories had basically discovered the existence of the dragon beasts, and they all broke into cheers.
With the addition of dragon beasts, their security was greatly guaranteed.
As for the food and supplies needed to raise the dragon beasts, Toji Hisami directly instructed the golden dragon to take the flying dragons out hunting.
Otherwise, it would be a bit difficult to raise dragon beasts based solely on Elara’s territory at this stage, which would slow down the domain’s development.
Letting them hunt on their own also allowed them to hone their combat skills.
It might be difficult for ordinary people to make a golden dragon obey their advice, but Toji Hisami was different. When he made a request, the golden dragon would never refuse.
At this stage, Toji Hisami’s plan for the Southern District had basically been implemented.
In terms of development, as a trade hub, Elara could quickly accumulate a large volume of materials.
In terms of armed forces, the Blood Spirit Territory was now the number one combat force in the Hetao area. With the addition of the dragon beasts, their strength had risen to an even higher level.
Once Elara planted the druid’s guardian trees and dream thorns, the Hetao area could be said to be as stable as Mount Tai.
This was Toji Hisami’s consistent development strategy.
Ensure safety first, and then pursue expansion on that solid foundation.
At this stage, he had no further business to attend to in the Southern District.
Even if the Holy Spirit Alliance and the Gold Alliance united, it was estimated that they would have to wait until the second wave of invasion before posing a real threat.
There was no point in him staying in the Southern District any longer.
Thus, Toji Hisami summoned Elara and Enlina, informing them that he planned to return to the Eastern District.
"Master! The Vermilion Bird Guards are your direct subordinates. Please allow us to be at your disposal!"
Fortunately for Elara, she had already known that Toji Hisami would not stay here forever.
Therefore, she had always been mentally prepared, consistently holding herself accountable as the person in charge of the Southern District for the Tiandong Alliance.
Her purpose was to be capable of taking charge of the overall situation after Toji Hisami left, ensuring nothing deviated from Toji Hisami’s plan.
However, Enlina was different.
The Blood Spirit Lord knelt directly in front of Toji Hisami, desperate to follow him.
Ever since they swore the blood spirit oath to Toji Hisami, the entire Blood Spirit leadership’s admiration for Toji Hisami had bordered on extreme fanaticism.
It was as if they had swung from one extreme to another, acting like a group of devout believers.
Enlina knew that the Southern District still needed to retain strategic force, making it impossible for the Blood Spirit Territory to migrate as a whole.
However, since the Vermilion Bird Guard served as part of Toji Hisami’s core four-guard force, she felt it was necessary to follow him.
"I will remain here to continue training and expanding the Vermilion Bird Guards. I also ask that the existing guard members remain with me."
Unable to withstand Enlina’s earnest plea, Elara also suggested bringing the Vermilion Bird Guard along.
Toji Hisami finally agreed to Enlina’s request.
He took out most of the forest crystals he had obtained in the foggy area, handing six of them to Enlina.
The remainder was given to Elara.
His own territory was about to receive a Transcendent Level upgrade, so there was no need for ordinary territory crystals to upgrade it.
As for the base camp in the Eastern District, he believed that Boris and the others should have collected enough territory crystals on their own.
Therefore, it was better to simply divide these crystals between the two of them here.
With these territory crystals, the Blood Spirit Territory could be promoted to level six.
