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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fsXUhKseG
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK3KHmVx79
In weather like this, many creatures could not withstand the heat and rarely ventured out.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ec5WmbGqP
The Dragonkin living inside the circular sinkhole were an exception.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7SOd3iy00
As fire-elemental Dragons, such hot days actually made them feel more energetic and active than usual.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9HEFgQI9Y
It had been over a month since Garros last negotiated with the Iron Dragon Mother.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWgHoKW5yK
The young Dragons were in their prime growing phase, and Garros was very diligent in training to strengthen himself.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVpzjN8jI9
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZraVPsZS4
"Break time is over, go dig for Ore for me!"
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8KR8DdZi2
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE2xRR4wrH
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!"
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV1NJRy5AG
The Iron Dragon Mother had kin.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfjMz6py2l
Among them was a Kobold clan that specialized in mining for the Iron Dragon Mother.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqkkzqAKRN
Hearing this, Garros's tail struck the ground, sparking a flame, as he paced over to the two hatchlings.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASGtIIGBZn
"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?"
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmOYsl4brf
He asked, lowering his gaze.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h1C4ybdFl
The two hatchlings looked at each other, confused.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLMZHFBWLh
"Because you lack ambition!"
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKkOJYA34N
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!"
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYCN6UtR65
The young Dragon shook his head, showing a look of pity and disappointment.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfhSyI3kdU
"Trash that can't even outperform Kobolds; you truly disgrace your True Dragon blood."
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqQ6VN9QXe
He said in a tone of extreme disdain.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIc9xVgkvd
"Bullshit! Kobolds have no right to compare with me!"
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03dThE4en3
The Red Dragon Sister was furious.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5YAnqXaVI
"Bullshit! I am a hundred times stronger than a Kobold!"
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjMywcF5mu
The Iron Dragon Brother was also furious.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHdizMod54
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."
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN75wqjT59
"Hmph, don't underestimate us!"
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ656grtwxwA
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn0A8HJhyq
The goading technique — a treasure against Dragonkin.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5biFUWbw5
Dragonkin, with their arrogant and conceited nature, cannot stand being provoked.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOqyBud1Xb
He withdrew his gaze from the two hatchlings who had gone down into the mine.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDOLHc7gd7
"If only the Iron Dragon Mother were as easy to fool as them."
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKlZ3l0MY3
Garros sighed.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g3NDO5xlx
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgmvGaXKMq
As for the two hatchlings, they are currently like fools and very easy to deceive.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV51r1oRbTV
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbikMhSS1g0
Meanwhile.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9lksFohMU
A gust of wind suddenly swept past.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSc7HrCy3o
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcSSu1Egkh
Dust flew wildly on the ground, and some gravel vibrated continuously.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxVsuNskIK
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbaWHmkJDO
Waving his wings to disperse the dust, Garros looked closely.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj1lIw3SRI
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YhWcrQyRm
This was a Vicious Beast with a Rank of over 10.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFRqp9UhiQ
It was also the high-quality blood-food that Garros needed.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTXPB3LLWt
The Iron Dragon Mother kept her end of the bargain with Garros, regularly providing him with high-quality blood-food.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMkHjLAswv
This was specifically for him.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNPATXA8UA
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7catEtQ17
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG9bairnoY
After dropping the prey, the Iron Dragon Mother did not linger and went straight back to her nest.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrDlfGi63b
"Time to eat."
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDsdzq9Kyc
Garros withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and began to tear into the Great Horned Bull's body.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI770KDEHZH
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYSX1Gqi0y
The beef was very fresh, no less than chasing it while it was still alive; it was tough and chewy.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfez3npeLG
With every bite he swallowed, Garros felt his body warm up, receiving an abundant supply of nutritional energy.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ix3n1Jvo4
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxfq16UUE0
"This is the feeling."
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM8Ngwavin
Garros's eyes lit up with joy.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhBZeKLH35
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglxvDojnWM
The young Dragon took a deep breath, opened his dragon maw wide, and revealed a mouthful of dragon teeth.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjrT2GVxFP
Chomp!
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWfoGveKQF
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8icsfg6Nr7
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OPaizvUE4
This also included the muscles that bore the recoil, the internal organs, etc.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPMFapIz5k
However.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqq36cdlg2
There were no visible changes on Garros's body, only the tingling, electric sensation remained constant.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAJ8sTgdzV
"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."
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY1RmPUezI
Garros thought silently.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIjLfUV8dZ
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDEhD0zBFV
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyaG4xhys5
But Garros could shorten this time infinitely.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0SuJ8AwgV
The key was that his evolutionary talent itself was also growing.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxBP2JHxPj
"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."
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhFAJpW07q
He thought to himself.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HIglqE1es
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WbvJqzHUc
The tingling sensation on his body became exceptionally intense and rich.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mWvyejc0e
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.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF4HEKIA5F
