The scorching sun hung high in the sky, its venomous rays pouring down like molten gold, baking the entire wilderness until it was searing hot.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmTj2Bve5m
The surface temperature rose continuously, causing the air to ripple with distortion. In the distance, the mountains flickered within the heat waves, their outlines as blurred as a mirage.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnAIh0w6fc
In weather like this, many creatures could not withstand the heat and rarely ventured out.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk26tpiCMc
The Dragonkin living inside the circular sinkhole were an exception.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU9tbKxL66
As fire-elemental Dragons, such hot days actually made them feel more energetic and active than usual.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHIRsAX0OP
It had been over a month since Garros last negotiated with the Iron Dragon Mother.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDBDPKy2C1
The young Dragons were in their prime growing phase, and Garros was very diligent in training to strengthen himself.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XsOIVbwz7
Over this month, his body had grown slightly larger. His dragon scales were like cast steel, and the muscle fibers hidden beneath seemed to twist like steel wires whenever he exerted force, ready to unleash formidable power at any moment.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwt8nC5drs
"Break time is over, go dig for Ore for me!"
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m4JzEdmZA
Near the cliff wall, Garros curled his tail and tossed two stones, striking the Iron Dragon Brother and the Red Dragon Sister on their heads, respectively.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgysISr1S2h
The two hatchlings raised their heads in dissatisfaction, protesting righteously: "We only rested for one hour! Garros, this is abuse! According to the same mining schedule, Mother's Kobold kin get to rest for two hours!"
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyboGSYWX9
The Iron Dragon Mother had kin.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPcr4lnjcF
Among them was a Kobold clan that specialized in mining for the Iron Dragon Mother.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0wgP3Z0uS
Hearing this, Garros's tail struck the ground, sparking a flame, as he paced over to the two hatchlings.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmvXwvwTAF
"Do you know why you can never beat me, are always pinned down by me, and can only be trampled and repeatedly humiliated by me?"
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPjvGEjbAA
He asked, lowering his gaze.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuIB4mSMd1
The two hatchlings looked at each other, confused.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P8KCu4Ccf
"Because you lack ambition!"
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0aKfvYxhJ
Garros leaned in close to the two hatchlings, his shadow looming over them, and said in a deep voice: "As noble True Dragons with dragon blood flowing through your veins, you actually compare yourselves to Kobolds!"
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCQq9nrRk9
The young Dragon shook his head, showing a look of pity and disappointment.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzdAdeT5A7
"Trash that can't even outperform Kobolds; you truly disgrace your True Dragon blood."
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wRvip5hz6
He said in a tone of extreme disdain.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9JNvJEN3N
"Bullshit! Kobolds have no right to compare with me!"
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl0xCAIo4M
The Red Dragon Sister was furious.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p2fznlLa0
"Bullshit! I am a hundred times stronger than a Kobold!"
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iuNVOq1Pv
The Iron Dragon Brother was also furious.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gf8Z6UFcW
Garros's expression softened slightly, and he grinned: "Empty words prove nothing. Prove it to me. Let me see your resolve, let me see the strength and toughness you possess as Dragonkin."
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvHAtqfRYC
"Hmph, don't underestimate us!"
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxds4kWUuh
The two hatchlings snorted coldly, then immediately headed down into the previously opened mine tunnel, full of motivation. They exerted all their strength, determined to make Garros understand that they were not comparable to Kobolds, and vowed internally to make Garros look up to them.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkiEkoAjO0
The goading technique — a treasure against Dragonkin.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefZgi1EUPh
Dragonkin, with their arrogant and conceited nature, cannot stand being provoked.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccpl6pQ1tM
He withdrew his gaze from the two hatchlings who had gone down into the mine.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzECqWwMEoK
"If only the Iron Dragon Mother were as easy to fool as them."
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqjUzhDUYw
Garros sighed.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt7mB9Ti8L
As Dragonkin grow in age and experience, they can more or less control their instincts. Adult Dragons like the Iron Dragon Mother have much higher intelligence than hatchlings.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9f7YVVl92
As for the two hatchlings, they are currently like fools and very easy to deceive.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uKMqpCVHE
If Dragons like these grow for another year and become young Dragons, and if they follow the normal development of being expelled by the Dragon Mother to live alone, it is hard to imagine how they could survive in this perilous world with their weak and playful personalities.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3ASEm3xur
Meanwhile.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFDWuRls6M
A gust of wind suddenly swept past.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iTWSaeaVi
Garros looked up at the sky. In his field of vision appeared the Iron Dragon Mother, soaring with wings spread across the sky. Her body was massive and colossal, rolling with dragon might, and her nearly forty-meter wingspan cast a thick shadow on the ground.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fbk2g6a4N
Dust flew wildly on the ground, and some gravel vibrated continuously.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTg2k56K9M
A dark, blurry shadow was dropped by the Iron Dragon Mother, crashing to the ground with a deafening sound like an earthquake. A deep pit was smashed at the landing spot, with dense cracks spreading outward, and a circle of dust expanded rapidly.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YRqVeaMs4
Waving his wings to disperse the dust, Garros looked closely.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUQgD9osEh
Weighing dozens of tons, with layers of muscles all over its body, a pair of huge horns on its head, and covered in hard armor, a Great Horned Bull was reflected in Garros's vision.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETrtiDZvMD
This was a Vicious Beast with a Rank of over 10.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtISSL0BMk
It was also the high-quality blood-food that Garros needed.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKRcudRasW
The Iron Dragon Mother kept her end of the bargain with Garros, regularly providing him with high-quality blood-food.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGpIjO3r8E
This was specifically for him.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGNjOk1Dr9
As for the two hatchlings, they were oppressed by Garros to mine, but they weren't working day and night; they weren't true slaves. They had food provided by the Iron Dragon Mother when they returned to the dragon nest.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2z6ijFcXD
The Iron Dragon Mother had a cold personality but valued rules. She was always qualified in what she was supposed to do, never mistreating any hatchling, but also not showing any special favor.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEw54cVd3w
After dropping the prey, the Iron Dragon Mother did not linger and went straight back to her nest.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBdbTeoqfU
"Time to eat."
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlcB9rZwWx
Garros withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and began to tear into the Great Horned Bull's body.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WFbPIa5TZ
The hard armor covering its body could not be bitten through in one go, even with the teeth Garros had trained by gnawing on metal Ore; he still needed to tear at it with effort.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoBEeHcdno
The beef was very fresh, no less than chasing it while it was still alive; it was tough and chewy.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fDtvvPOGV
With every bite he swallowed, Garros felt his body warm up, receiving an abundant supply of nutritional energy.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPfwmMqHTq
When he had finished a small portion of the Great Horned Bull's flesh, a tingling, itchy sensation suddenly emerged from inside and outside Garros's body, flowing and surging repeatedly like a tide.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouFJBVBoe9
"This is the feeling."
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnIBrvw18Z
Garros's eyes lit up with joy.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJI5ouyrgl
He had eaten a lot of beef in one go. Even with the iron stomach of a Dragon, which was like a furnace, Garros had felt a bit full earlier. But as the tingling sensation emerged from within and without, his satiety faded, and he even developed a strong craving for food again.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUpvXHIjyT
The young Dragon took a deep breath, opened his dragon maw wide, and revealed a mouthful of dragon teeth.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO4AFd3gNc
Chomp!
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW4m3bU2OX
Tearing off a large mouthful of beef, Garros chewed it a few times and swallowed it. The beef in his stomach turned into a warm breath almost instantly, flowing with the waves of tingling sensation to Garros's limbs and bones, mainly concentrating on the areas Garros had been training recently.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g2b3x8zVf
The scales that were in direct contact with the ground, the dragon horns that struck the mountain side repeatedly, and the dragon tail that whipped against rocks.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1glYh2jSk9
This also included the muscles that bore the recoil, the internal organs, etc.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuRRnt50HL
However.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQg7veDzdW
There were no visible changes on Garros's body, only the tingling, electric sensation remained constant.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8DB3PguV8
"Evolution is not completed in an instant, but rather, after I have accumulated enough adaptation and have sufficient energy replenishment, I make rapid progress over the next period of time, obtaining corresponding evolution based on my recent accumulated adaptation."
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiLZTXBl2z
Garros thought silently.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviM31twdfA
Over the past few years, he had been constantly thinking and exploring the essence of his talent, and he had his own guesses and ideas.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkQsSfE73f
Any creature actually possesses the power of Adaptive Evolution, but under normal circumstances, it often takes millions of years and requires a long period of evolution.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaWg65DqOs
But Garros could shorten this time infinitely.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z9BTdjtYz
The key was that his evolutionary talent itself was also growing.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jfuKWwUNM
"Perhaps one day in the future, I will be able to complete Adaptive Evolution in an instant, or even evolve directly in the direction I want."
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjwSaIv8z4
He thought to himself.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmbPAOgRpx
Immediately after, Garros made a final push and actually finished all the meat of the Great Horned Bull, which weighed many times more than himself.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlhe70Yjxi
The tingling sensation on his body became exceptionally intense and rich.
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpAr4cghs4
He struck while the iron was hot. Under the bright and piercing sunlight, he continued to start slamming into the mountain and the ground again and again, in pain yet happy.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQwEhD6P2R
