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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLExLrzslQ
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCZ9spmo7P
In weather like this, many creatures could not withstand the heat and rarely ventured out.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iLRkNuAsk
The Dragonkin living inside the circular sinkhole were an exception.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcx7E9B2rp
As fire-elemental Dragons, such hot days actually made them feel more energetic and active than usual.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PSAf35LbF
It had been over a month since Garros last negotiated with the Iron Dragon Mother.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPdnYcWBWn
The young Dragons were in their prime growing phase, and Garros was very diligent in training to strengthen himself.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuLdcjA8fW
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLSUwIy4Nx
"Break time is over, go dig for Ore for me!"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHYjYvO01h
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uTmv1UXJZ
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!"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNQZKYcW5Q
The Iron Dragon Mother had kin.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ENcTnyHcM
Among them was a Kobold clan that specialized in mining for the Iron Dragon Mother.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyixFCQsoPD
Hearing this, Garros's tail struck the ground, sparking a flame, as he paced over to the two hatchlings.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IRYSPjQHI
"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?"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnffCw52HSJ
He asked, lowering his gaze.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcLiJy0VtZ
The two hatchlings looked at each other, confused.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i97AQAlxi
"Because you lack ambition!"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujKuibpdx7
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!"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BhJNJVAfy
The young Dragon shook his head, showing a look of pity and disappointment.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEodPkpEoRB
"Trash that can't even outperform Kobolds; you truly disgrace your True Dragon blood."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlOZ6YMu2f
He said in a tone of extreme disdain.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSb8ff8eU7
"Bullshit! Kobolds have no right to compare with me!"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnTKxLQxdB
The Red Dragon Sister was furious.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejCFhOBoo4
"Bullshit! I am a hundred times stronger than a Kobold!"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNvs3qbpeP
The Iron Dragon Brother was also furious.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGWiMUB7GX
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."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wfwNnB0ro
"Hmph, don't underestimate us!"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbjzI1HWJA
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP16RkR0SeH
The goading technique — a treasure against Dragonkin.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3VhPJNa0r
Dragonkin, with their arrogant and conceited nature, cannot stand being provoked.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvAjZpVM0X
He withdrew his gaze from the two hatchlings who had gone down into the mine.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzye24Mmt1X
"If only the Iron Dragon Mother were as easy to fool as them."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPY0T2ZZ0s
Garros sighed.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROizPQK3Lr
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvywVPwalj
As for the two hatchlings, they are currently like fools and very easy to deceive.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEQPD2dHPu
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr6wEFp6gb
Meanwhile.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CmdxlW3eL
A gust of wind suddenly swept past.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZouSeA3Ln
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5323cFsf19
Dust flew wildly on the ground, and some gravel vibrated continuously.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME0io4YyE0
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJinDPZjN9W
Waving his wings to disperse the dust, Garros looked closely.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx6V3UVOL2
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt1eWW79p1
This was a Vicious Beast with a Rank of over 10.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs06fpbMieK
It was also the high-quality blood-food that Garros needed.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUjrtbygkR
The Iron Dragon Mother kept her end of the bargain with Garros, regularly providing him with high-quality blood-food.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBCNLPLCn5
This was specifically for him.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLbUIYDcBn
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zbK3wl6W4
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GmBiBHoi0
After dropping the prey, the Iron Dragon Mother did not linger and went straight back to her nest.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIURR3XApV
"Time to eat."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGHiSe20Cb
Garros withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and began to tear into the Great Horned Bull's body.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgLIgkOpg5
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDhZO29qbz
The beef was very fresh, no less than chasing it while it was still alive; it was tough and chewy.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy07aY2OKv4
With every bite he swallowed, Garros felt his body warm up, receiving an abundant supply of nutritional energy.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPzbUQDP2Y
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEl3Eitq5V
"This is the feeling."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yccaDKS6s
Garros's eyes lit up with joy.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvam04RXf68
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQCFfNq8Q8
The young Dragon took a deep breath, opened his dragon maw wide, and revealed a mouthful of dragon teeth.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XXRsYZj9e
Chomp!
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOLZ8rzWWx
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ok18r4M73
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7qw47Oyt4
This also included the muscles that bore the recoil, the internal organs, etc.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejuHE3P1WM
However.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwpsnx2x3U
There were no visible changes on Garros's body, only the tingling, electric sensation remained constant.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJXG5sDfNP
"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."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsLFrkMBUz
Garros thought silently.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHClfeOaH75
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0lbvAWDzE
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6UrWgMtZW
But Garros could shorten this time infinitely.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkya3i9Pw5
The key was that his evolutionary talent itself was also growing.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWtaFh3YOF
"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."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFrVOsvC7F
He thought to himself.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4vbtYpnRm
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.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4tBvSa35Y
The tingling sensation on his body became exceptionally intense and rich.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDJp9ggjtu
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.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPTZxK14oX
