The huge body of the giant dragon whistled with a strong aura, and its hideous mouth viciously bit down on the neck of the giant beast. The terrifying biting force of Brandon's teeth was enough to snap any piece of steel.
But the behemoth's fiery red scale armour was slippery and hard. The teeth actually couldn't take the force of biting on it and kept slipping, and the sharp teeth kept flashing sparks on the smooth scale armour.
Although it didn't bite through the behemoth's scale armour, the huge biting force did cause the behemoth to suffer severe pain. It couldn't help but howl loudly. At this time, the behemoth's body twisted strangely, and its scales twisted like a snake, a sound of metal rubbing against each other resounded, and a sliver of eye-piercing sparks emitted from the intersection of the scales and teeth.
The behemoth instantly detached itself from the dragon's mouth, the behemoth couldn't stop gasping for breath, drops of blood fell from its mouth, and the hot blood instantly caused the grass on the ground to burst into flames.
The behemoth did not attack, its turquoise eyes, staring at the dragon. There was a flash of fear and pain in its eyes. Brandon didn't attack either, he found that his means of attack actually didn't have much use against his opponent. Even his biggest killing weapon, his teeth, couldn't bite through the Behemoth's scale armour. This Beast was just too strong. Fighting further would only continue to injure it, and the battle had become quite tiring at this point.
Brandon realised that this giant beast seemed vaguely familiar, as if in his previous life, he had seen similar portraits. Suddenly a name flashed through Brandon's mind. Qilin!
Brandon couldn't help but take a closer look. He felt that the more he looked at it, the more similar it became, although there seemed to be some difference between it and the picture, but what Qilin should have, it actually had all of it. Could this giant beast really be a Qilin?
Brandon already had no desire to fight, he hadn't come here to fight in the first place, and Brandon wasn't a belligerent dragon. He would never rush these strange creatures if there wasn't a necessary reason to do so. Not to mention the fact that this creature was most likely also a rare beast, a Qilin.
Brandon connected the spiritual link, and his voice instantly resounded in the behemoth's mind, "What kind of creature are you? Why are you attacking the great dragon? If you cannot give me a reason that satisfies me, then you will be a meal for me today."
"Who is it? Who is talking to me, come out!" The behemoth's large head looked left and right, clearly unaware of who was speaking to it, its brash voice carrying a hint of fear.
"Don't shake your head, you're making me move my head too, I'm on the opposite side of you. Answer my question. A dragon's patience is limited."
The Behemoth finally realised that it was the creature across him that was talking to him, and the unknown power made him even more
wary of the dragon. It settled its mind and said, "This dragon, this volcano is my territory, you have entered my territory and you have attempted to devour on the volcano's divine tree, of course I will attack you."
"Oh, the volcano is your territory?" Brandon then realised why the behemoth launched a

frenzied attack as soon as it saw him. The more powerful the creature, the more it had the concept of territory.
If creatures of similar strength entered the territory of other creatures, it would be a provocation. Usually, they will fight to the death. Of course, animals don't enter the territories of other creatures of similar strength, because these territories tend to emanate the aura of the owner of the territory. Brandon's previous life as a human had resulted in his dragon's instincts being very poor, and it simply didn't know that such a powerful beast lived here.
Before it could think for a moment, immediately the behemoth's voice resounded in Brandon's mind, "I have lived here since I was a child, and this has always been my territory, and all the powerful creatures in the vicinity are known to me. But now you are even more powerful than me, I can't beat you, so this territory will be yours from now on." With a slight fear, the giant beast said.
"Oh, this creature, as far as I know your strength has a lot to do with the flames, if you give me the volcano, I guess your strength will stop progressing or even regress. Also, I have no intention of monopolising the volcano. I think this place is really big, big enough to accommodate both of us. I don't mind if you continue to stay."
"Really!" The Behemoth said with a mixture of doubt and surprise. One had to wonder, what Brandon was doing was clearly against the nature of other creatures. Other powerful creatures simply wouldn't allow other creatures that were dangerous to him to share a territory if they weren't attached.
"Of course it's true. Still don't know what kind of creature you are, I can't believe I've never seen one like you before." Brandon asked curiously, the creature really did look too much like a Qilin.
Suddenly the behemoth's mood seemed a bit low, its turquoise eyes darkening at once. It said, "I don't know, since I was born, I've been living in the volcano, and I don't know how many years it's been, and I've never seen my parents, and I don't know what kind of creature I am."
After the conversation he realised that the behemoth had no idea what species he was.
After chatting for a few moments, Brandon and the Qilin crawled towards the crater again, with the Qilin's body slightly lagging a step behind Brandon. Obviously it also knew that although it could still live in this territory, the dominance had already gone to the dragon next to it.
The Qilin climbed to the crater and immediately dug into the magma. The violent battle just now had already caused him to be seriously injured, and now he desperately needed to return inside the magma to recuperate.
The entire crater was oval shaped and very hot, and inside the crater was a black and red magma. The magma was like a pot of thick porridge, appearing very sticky. From time to time, a bubble emerged from the black and red magma. After the bubbles disappeared, a stream of flames erupted from the small holes in the magma, forming a beautiful flame fountain.
Standing in the crater of the volcano, a rich sulphurous breath came to the face, ordinary creatures here simply could not stay here for long, even if it wasn't for the scorching heat, just the highly poisonous gases spewing out from the inside of the volcano. It wouldn't take a minute to make someone dizzy.
But for Brandon, after coming here, he felt that his body was soothed, and the rich earth fire gas couldn't stop coming towards his body. Even if he didn't cultivate here, his strength would slowly increase. No wonder the Red Dragon's favourite thing to do was to find a volcano and then sleep in the magma, and it would be several years and decades at a time.
Brandon took a look at the temperature of the magma and felt that it was much lower than the magma at the bottom of the sea. The bottom of the ocean could reach hundreds or even thousands of degrees celsius just from the water under high pressure. Not to mention the magma at the bottom of the sea, which was directly spewed out from the earth's core, the temperature was quite terrifying.
Brandon hesitated in his heart and wondered if his body could adapt to this temperature. He stretched out his tail and probed the black and red magma. Although the magma looked soft, the density was extremely high, and Brandon felt like he was probing into the mud.
A hot breath came from his tail, and Brandon felt that he could definitely adapt to this temperature. Brandon also no longer hesitated, his qi shielded his body, and he took a deep breath. The huge body suddenly leapt towards the boiling hot lava.
