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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgzIEohoQr
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNM66KOF60
In weather like this, many creatures could not withstand the heat and rarely ventured out.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJsXfzvrCl
The Dragonkin living inside the circular sinkhole were an exception.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6uyOjq9Gm
As fire-elemental Dragons, such hot days actually made them feel more energetic and active than usual.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpqzqEI06l
It had been over a month since Garros last negotiated with the Iron Dragon Mother.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqN8e07uUf
The young Dragons were in their prime growing phase, and Garros was very diligent in training to strengthen himself.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPNcoIdieA
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRB8zuUI25
"Break time is over, go dig for Ore for me!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzWoZmagk8
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y80rBoaPC
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!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcqW8Ejnar
The Iron Dragon Mother had kin.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIChDTON4Z
Among them was a Kobold clan that specialized in mining for the Iron Dragon Mother.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjeSVvagCD
Hearing this, Garros's tail struck the ground, sparking a flame, as he paced over to the two hatchlings.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXRaABc0A2
"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?"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXpmQrfsQC
He asked, lowering his gaze.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1wtLbKq7l
The two hatchlings looked at each other, confused.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2nYGX2oJB
"Because you lack ambition!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UbDsoYL4x
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!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6FwifC69v
The young Dragon shook his head, showing a look of pity and disappointment.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTtPMpsG94
"Trash that can't even outperform Kobolds; you truly disgrace your True Dragon blood."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSojBiVQq0z
He said in a tone of extreme disdain.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OyHaVFTCw
"Bullshit! Kobolds have no right to compare with me!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFGILEcuQ6
The Red Dragon Sister was furious.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6vdRByApP
"Bullshit! I am a hundred times stronger than a Kobold!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWASjbNI5f
The Iron Dragon Brother was also furious.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZJIZUZX3h
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."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurTxYAe1uZ
"Hmph, don't underestimate us!"
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYCdWWRrdv
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsWvqSDupc
The goading technique — a treasure against Dragonkin.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMRWksyDSW
Dragonkin, with their arrogant and conceited nature, cannot stand being provoked.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yUpSBi78B
He withdrew his gaze from the two hatchlings who had gone down into the mine.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYlYubCE7J
"If only the Iron Dragon Mother were as easy to fool as them."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kuiDJ1IRM
Garros sighed.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLb8FG9Tqr
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuWkXco2KH
As for the two hatchlings, they are currently like fools and very easy to deceive.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVyUIoYawR
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7Rsf2LY7a
Meanwhile.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTTEwpZZDn
A gust of wind suddenly swept past.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIpcRljK5e
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4fCd1gF2j
Dust flew wildly on the ground, and some gravel vibrated continuously.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRqOVi2EDy
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn33G8nYVBS
Waving his wings to disperse the dust, Garros looked closely.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ972TxzxOjx
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5faFx0JG7s
This was a Vicious Beast with a Rank of over 10.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPPP8V7AU8
It was also the high-quality blood-food that Garros needed.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEgUyL1T0G
The Iron Dragon Mother kept her end of the bargain with Garros, regularly providing him with high-quality blood-food.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzwEgQBCJS
This was specifically for him.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4NAP7EI0Q
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c9By0kvT3
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNY23MGE03
After dropping the prey, the Iron Dragon Mother did not linger and went straight back to her nest.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftcZ7KBQBg
"Time to eat."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvHo95m1Kd
Garros withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and began to tear into the Great Horned Bull's body.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAZf8jLS3C
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamddZqW2Se
The beef was very fresh, no less than chasing it while it was still alive; it was tough and chewy.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmHtjsyBRs
With every bite he swallowed, Garros felt his body warm up, receiving an abundant supply of nutritional energy.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkCJZH6Jlk
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWOyV3omFc
"This is the feeling."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrIz2UMwTT
Garros's eyes lit up with joy.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4HHII0AX7
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8bhU092U9
The young Dragon took a deep breath, opened his dragon maw wide, and revealed a mouthful of dragon teeth.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm85PzCyddc
Chomp!
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdFuxAXxcD
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEsIuWRTaJ
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxZrngRW3z
This also included the muscles that bore the recoil, the internal organs, etc.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC53MRUcED
However.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOS359NT82
There were no visible changes on Garros's body, only the tingling, electric sensation remained constant.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh1CF587pk
"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."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRaLOt6YAm
Garros thought silently.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLReFtq2PQu
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2kdmvDIQI
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yj05UDwBz
But Garros could shorten this time infinitely.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8cmJ0PFsa
The key was that his evolutionary talent itself was also growing.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5xD6laI8n
"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."
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQys4blRev0
He thought to himself.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgSTfnprUe
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.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyZmws83Ta
The tingling sensation on his body became exceptionally intense and rich.
136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yp6hKeEGN
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.136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqACy3Gw9l
