After the Servant Contract, Udi could communicate with the Kobold Shiji through a Spiritual Connection in his mind.
Furthermore, he could switch to the first-person perspective of the Kobold Shiji in real-time.
This function is quite convenient.
However, there is a limitation: the Kobold Shiji cannot be too far from Udi, otherwise, with the current strength of the Spiritual Connection, even slightly farther distances would make it impossible to communicate through the contract.
To put it simply, the Spiritual Connection is like WiFi; the farther the distance, the worse the signal.
To increase this distance, either Udi's spiritual strength must be enhanced, or the Kobold Shiji's spiritual strength must be improved.
Through the Spiritual Connection, Udi's perspective instantly switched to Shiji's first-person view.
"This guy is quite diligent." Udi said in surprise.
Recently, besides sleeping and going out to hunt for food, when Udi got bored, he would switch the perspective to the first-person view of the Kobold Shiji.
Almost every time, Shiji's first-person view was either hunting or eating.
It seemed very busy....
"Judging from the change in perspective height and the size comparison of prey, Shiji's body seems to have changed quite a bit."
Udi thought.
He was somewhat surprised.
After all, he was merely a Dragonling, and the Servant Contract of a Dragonling could not bring the same growth to subordinate monsters as the contract of an Adult Dragon.
The strength of the servant monsters is closely linked to the strength of their Giant Dragon master.
Of course, in terms of size and strength, Udi now was no less than a six or seven-year-old Black Dragon Juvenile Dragon, perhaps even stronger.
A Giant Dragon's age classification is:
0~3 years old as the Dragonling stage.
3~10 years old as the Juvenile Dragon stage.
10~25 years old as the Juvenile Dragon stage.
25~50 years old as the Adolescent Dragon stage.
50~100 years old as the Young Adult Dragon stage.
100~700 years old as the Adult Dragon stage.
700~1300 years old as the Mature Adult Dragon stage.
1300~1800 years old as the Old Dragon stage.
And beyond 1800 as the Ancient Dragon stage.
Upon reaching the Ancient Dragon stage, the growth rate of a Giant Dragon's body begins to slow down.
Among the Five-Colored Dragon and Metal Dragon, the shortest lifespan belongs to the White Dragon, with a maximum lifespan of only two thousand three hundred years.
The longest lifespans belong to the Golden Dragon and Red Dragon, with a maximum lifespan of up to three thousand five hundred years.
However, this is the lifespan without breaking through to the Legendary Tier. If the Legendary Tier is achieved, the lifespan of the Giant Dragon would increase significantly.
"Even using the criteria of a Young Black Dragon's Servant Contract, Shiji's advancement is still unusually fast." Udi muttered to himself.
From the Kobold Shiji's first-person view, the speed, power, and agility demonstrated in hunting undoubtedly reached the realm of Level 1 Demon.
And not the weakest of Level 1 Demon; even among Level 1 Demon, he was above average.
A month ago, Shiji was just a Level 0 Creature, and a bottom-tier one at that.
In just one month, his strength increased at least five or six times.... Moreover, at this growth rate, within another month, maybe even less, Shiji might grow into a Level 2 Demon.
Heloise and Brook, these two young Dragonlings, are also only Level 2 Giant Dragons in biological level terms.
"Could it be influenced by my Banquet talent?"
Udi couldn't help but suspect, as every time he looked at Shiji, that guy was either hunting or eating.
At first, Udi thought that Shiji was developing his Dragon Vein through combat and blood food.
Now, after noticing the abnormal growth rate of Shiji, Udi couldn't help but start to suspect.
"If the Banquet talent can indeed influence the servant through the Servant Contract, it would be a good thing..." Udi squinted his eyes and pondered.
After the Servant Contract, the life of the Kobold Shiji was under Udi's control.
If he wanted Shiji to die, the Dragon Vein Power within the other party would riot under the influence of the contract, causing death.
In this situation, a faster rise in servant strength would naturally be beneficial for Udi.
After all, no matter how fast the rise in strength, it couldn't surpass Udi, who is a Dragon Master.
"Though there seems to be a side effect...."
Udi watched as Shiji, who had just finished eating a three-meter-long wild python, set off on another hunt within an hour....
This time, Udi decided to observe for a longer period.
One day passed.
Udi recorded the actions of the Kobold Shiji for that day.
Apart from resting for four or five hours, at least two-thirds of the time was spent hunting and eating.
Like a tireless machine.
"Not bad, no significant side effects....."
Udi nonchalantly ended Shiji's first-person perspective.
Closing his eyes, wrapping himself up, he went to sleep.
As time passed being a Giant Dragon, Udi found himself increasingly fond of sleeping.
Moreover, the violent and aggressive emotions within his heart grew stronger as his physique became more powerful.
Subtly, Udi's personality was undergoing minute changes even he hadn't noticed.
Time passed slowly.
Soon, winter arrived.
Udi witnessed his first snowfall, lightly drifting down from the sky.
Overnight, the originally gloomy Dark Forest was covered with a layer of silver attire by the snow.
In the snow-covered forest, it was challenging to find birds.
The traces of Wild Beasts and Demons also gradually decreased.
However, to complete the Banquet, Udi would go on frenzied hunts for ten to fifteen days each month.
Although it's hard to find Wild Beasts and Demons in winter, this is only true for other creatures.
For a Giant Dragon, with just a sniff, they can find hidden creatures even buried ten meters deep in the snow.
It is simply unreasonable.
Moreover, due to the winter, both Wild Beasts and Demons become well-fed and plump, making the meat even tastier.
The snow fell like goose feathers for two whole months before finally stopping.
.....
A shadow of a Black Dragon flew from the sky, slowly landing on a huge tree.
Strong Dragon Claws gripped the tree trunk, shaking the giant tree with its massive weight, causing large amounts of snow to fall from the tree like rain.
Udi gazed into the distance below.
A group of ten or so Great Snow Deer, gigantic like moving small mountains, were migrating north.
"Great Snow Deer, Level 5 Ice attribute Demon." Udi salivated from the corners of his mouth.
Great Snow Deer are top-grade meat, with fresh, sweet, and cool meat, and an exceptional taste.
They are extremely popular among Giant Dragons.
No, to be precise, among most intelligent beings, Great Snow Deer are highly favored.
However, because Great Snow Deer only appear in snowy regions and always move in herds, their individual strength is substantial, possessing a formidable Ice Magic-like Skill 'Frost Spiritual Light', making them formidable enough that ordinary Middle Level Demons dare not provoke them, only High-Level Demons have the strength to hunt them.
