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.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA44vytQ3mm
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.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt5zgEAG7s
In weather like this, many creatures could not withstand the heat and rarely ventured out.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx7WLBxtdj
The Dragonkin living inside the circular sinkhole were an exception.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy5LwVpLpC
As fire-elemental Dragons, such hot days actually made them feel more energetic and active than usual.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkFBmG3AUE
It had been over a month since Garros last negotiated with the Iron Dragon Mother.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWbyzYZxV6
The young Dragons were in their prime growing phase, and Garros was very diligent in training to strengthen himself.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLzSXV0qQf
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.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuWwxPggwo
"Break time is over, go dig for Ore for me!"
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16oRFKFFGU
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.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLlBKiZATc
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!"
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVRzoe2BDQ
The Iron Dragon Mother had kin.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VlxRNxSGa
Among them was a Kobold clan that specialized in mining for the Iron Dragon Mother.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH0zL0Or6n
Hearing this, Garros's tail struck the ground, sparking a flame, as he paced over to the two hatchlings.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ6yRCutvr
"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?"
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGpLBsxC9n
He asked, lowering his gaze.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ2vsWpQVx
The two hatchlings looked at each other, confused.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzajR6sBKp
"Because you lack ambition!"
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aA8A6zQEP
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!"
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykDycKJhwx
The young Dragon shook his head, showing a look of pity and disappointment.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFg3NA0u8z
"Trash that can't even outperform Kobolds; you truly disgrace your True Dragon blood."
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDWPr789kF
He said in a tone of extreme disdain.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSo7JEzKA0
"Bullshit! Kobolds have no right to compare with me!"
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkurXnBUgmA
The Red Dragon Sister was furious.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEMfMY5bnt
"Bullshit! I am a hundred times stronger than a Kobold!"
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuEo14G2QD
The Iron Dragon Brother was also furious.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgziCBOqAY9
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."
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0WJkxkyIt
"Hmph, don't underestimate us!"
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp22lMTOYT
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.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQLNMCGRe9
The goading technique — a treasure against Dragonkin.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS9y5yrbxG
Dragonkin, with their arrogant and conceited nature, cannot stand being provoked.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgmWtAiWo7
He withdrew his gaze from the two hatchlings who had gone down into the mine.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrMqw0YZR8
"If only the Iron Dragon Mother were as easy to fool as them."
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SGT5cPDqQ
Garros sighed.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGAnTwmLzZ
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.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX6FBd4YEa
As for the two hatchlings, they are currently like fools and very easy to deceive.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbqVMuZ4bg
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.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdOwPuIDAR
Meanwhile.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iOqZwd8Ut
A gust of wind suddenly swept past.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFJjpMO5FZ
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.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1md1lgwSO
Dust flew wildly on the ground, and some gravel vibrated continuously.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GcXbN7wwX
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.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZySdWNC5ir
Waving his wings to disperse the dust, Garros looked closely.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYIivoAMZ9
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.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZtRgGyz1V
This was a Vicious Beast with a Rank of over 10.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjjSSlncrA
It was also the high-quality blood-food that Garros needed.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDibAiHToB
The Iron Dragon Mother kept her end of the bargain with Garros, regularly providing him with high-quality blood-food.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj58Enm5o4o
This was specifically for him.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmfPEx9G5K
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.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCrNdJUb5Z
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.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlPnb0ofj6
After dropping the prey, the Iron Dragon Mother did not linger and went straight back to her nest.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeHXi9XK4V
"Time to eat."
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb37U7tj5PR
Garros withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and began to tear into the Great Horned Bull's body.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxPwgYcHZx
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.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKRfQ21vOb
The beef was very fresh, no less than chasing it while it was still alive; it was tough and chewy.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9aTEvXUUI
With every bite he swallowed, Garros felt his body warm up, receiving an abundant supply of nutritional energy.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Oaf4jAV1q
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.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIEopzxGVa
"This is the feeling."
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat7KH81kzk
Garros's eyes lit up with joy.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGQS5dS34I
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.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvRozg8qyP
The young Dragon took a deep breath, opened his dragon maw wide, and revealed a mouthful of dragon teeth.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tMhigkQXN
Chomp!
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwrTrgp8bg
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.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLXHy8yaxR
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.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcKSHSwuQp
This also included the muscles that bore the recoil, the internal organs, etc.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTnl6asYN6
However.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oXtKiTOZM
There were no visible changes on Garros's body, only the tingling, electric sensation remained constant.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAfFSDv7Pk
"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."
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MptODGXwG
Garros thought silently.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMvjinXSlx
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.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA62G8id6s
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.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kxOIExful
But Garros could shorten this time infinitely.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV57qkdh54
The key was that his evolutionary talent itself was also growing.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dk2v3bn0t
"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."
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuala67YRaG
He thought to himself.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC4p5jeGxf
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.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFBGs4rFRm
The tingling sensation on his body became exceptionally intense and rich.
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW69fLPCBK
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.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6lLInpYoK
