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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMWC3pzOX2
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJa3YKW9IR
In weather like this, many creatures could not withstand the heat and rarely ventured out.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLbOWp97hx
The Dragonkin living inside the circular sinkhole were an exception.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjMbQFW1R3
As fire-elemental Dragons, such hot days actually made them feel more energetic and active than usual.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU89cN2idfy
It had been over a month since Garros last negotiated with the Iron Dragon Mother.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQtDKzXsoN
The young Dragons were in their prime growing phase, and Garros was very diligent in training to strengthen himself.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa0UoKh9OH
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1VByuzlEp
"Break time is over, go dig for Ore for me!"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKYm18uHe7
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobeeTd79Im
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!"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHdyGO3urF
The Iron Dragon Mother had kin.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTSSTvGmDW
Among them was a Kobold clan that specialized in mining for the Iron Dragon Mother.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgpesJ2QJS
Hearing this, Garros's tail struck the ground, sparking a flame, as he paced over to the two hatchlings.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKX9N241m2
"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?"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7zq3TgEAk
He asked, lowering his gaze.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG4LxhasAm
The two hatchlings looked at each other, confused.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMDWw4oUQw
"Because you lack ambition!"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaAmyZ9xqL
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!"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpJDf2AxO1
The young Dragon shook his head, showing a look of pity and disappointment.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKqlSPjAlW
"Trash that can't even outperform Kobolds; you truly disgrace your True Dragon blood."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVn4ryfzOK
He said in a tone of extreme disdain.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSHXtHylJ3
"Bullshit! Kobolds have no right to compare with me!"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHvWPXrLHe
The Red Dragon Sister was furious.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEEFtcCsZk
"Bullshit! I am a hundred times stronger than a Kobold!"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKDWaqm0QW
The Iron Dragon Brother was also furious.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbjebdxKPz
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."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWNyFEaxmm
"Hmph, don't underestimate us!"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFNqRDsv82
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YIx3SWuH1
The goading technique — a treasure against Dragonkin.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERbOlv26fQ
Dragonkin, with their arrogant and conceited nature, cannot stand being provoked.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpj68BRrIu
He withdrew his gaze from the two hatchlings who had gone down into the mine.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr28SZfm9qv
"If only the Iron Dragon Mother were as easy to fool as them."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTScashdeWw
Garros sighed.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj3DE84tNP
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMUo5gZYAS
As for the two hatchlings, they are currently like fools and very easy to deceive.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVtbG4pPaN
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bLOutG62e
Meanwhile.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGrjtbQudK
A gust of wind suddenly swept past.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT78fjkNT3U
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgevtH0teZB
Dust flew wildly on the ground, and some gravel vibrated continuously.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSZl6lwcxv
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmpqOVbv5G
Waving his wings to disperse the dust, Garros looked closely.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEihAE2tioG
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuOkUEhdt1
This was a Vicious Beast with a Rank of over 10.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgzih2ZWwL
It was also the high-quality blood-food that Garros needed.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwklpBONoCW
The Iron Dragon Mother kept her end of the bargain with Garros, regularly providing him with high-quality blood-food.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJOSmAgARM
This was specifically for him.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5PJk5dSzJ
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYaSKJ53lt
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJaL8mckXC
After dropping the prey, the Iron Dragon Mother did not linger and went straight back to her nest.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj8fq3Hnxx
"Time to eat."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXyAQWn9dU
Garros withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and began to tear into the Great Horned Bull's body.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuheBHqofua
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAGmJRZ9Ht
The beef was very fresh, no less than chasing it while it was still alive; it was tough and chewy.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRkAYYyAvV
With every bite he swallowed, Garros felt his body warm up, receiving an abundant supply of nutritional energy.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRjSQ1Lgqh
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi20Ov9HtP4
"This is the feeling."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFbVPQKNKp
Garros's eyes lit up with joy.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23RhoybOYq
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa6ECpPg5Y
The young Dragon took a deep breath, opened his dragon maw wide, and revealed a mouthful of dragon teeth.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCpv6nzng8
Chomp!
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiheDOZD2bM
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB5STQElM2
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25kCEOVIS9
This also included the muscles that bore the recoil, the internal organs, etc.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKGnUPR4i2
However.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUImaKzCa38
There were no visible changes on Garros's body, only the tingling, electric sensation remained constant.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBHHAXK8iG
"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."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVecIMM5WP7
Garros thought silently.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaRkKwT23A
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xmpJ8Oude
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AnycjXfTr
But Garros could shorten this time infinitely.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SZ0cIihD4
The key was that his evolutionary talent itself was also growing.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC4qlp3oDo
"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."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7f1OuzwEk
He thought to himself.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXPsYNeS8S
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYttluhvsX
The tingling sensation on his body became exceptionally intense and rich.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjlLdtDTpG
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.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCn41wX2m6
