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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW46CF34gg
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR35YifFTF
In weather like this, many creatures could not withstand the heat and rarely ventured out.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUptecKpFC2
The Dragonkin living inside the circular sinkhole were an exception.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNdJJiTgxD
As fire-elemental Dragons, such hot days actually made them feel more energetic and active than usual.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23M4iLaQjh
It had been over a month since Garros last negotiated with the Iron Dragon Mother.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX91S6UKVX
The young Dragons were in their prime growing phase, and Garros was very diligent in training to strengthen himself.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL2Gxg1J1x
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXSPXOqFxb
"Break time is over, go dig for Ore for me!"
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcu0zNoXJV
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5DfjarVXN
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!"
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo6Bcv72x9
The Iron Dragon Mother had kin.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDArJnjhNl
Among them was a Kobold clan that specialized in mining for the Iron Dragon Mother.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNUl8cL96a
Hearing this, Garros's tail struck the ground, sparking a flame, as he paced over to the two hatchlings.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTSpy6cm3I
"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?"
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPjbE5RXl6
He asked, lowering his gaze.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmPZY5z7qh
The two hatchlings looked at each other, confused.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgedIoiS9V
"Because you lack ambition!"
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivZz2Btyr6
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!"
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap56dpaPTd
The young Dragon shook his head, showing a look of pity and disappointment.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwWz61dyGL
"Trash that can't even outperform Kobolds; you truly disgrace your True Dragon blood."
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4tNTQ8pJU
He said in a tone of extreme disdain.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqdqJAqS30
"Bullshit! Kobolds have no right to compare with me!"
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMts3RV5BBY
The Red Dragon Sister was furious.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBo33X9s4H
"Bullshit! I am a hundred times stronger than a Kobold!"
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ4V1n6VzO
The Iron Dragon Brother was also furious.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zxuFrino8
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."
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJFGRbLW4k
"Hmph, don't underestimate us!"
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA0y6NOg74
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TVRwJEgKk
The goading technique — a treasure against Dragonkin.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0qYMwZc3a
Dragonkin, with their arrogant and conceited nature, cannot stand being provoked.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC71gSUTc2f
He withdrew his gaze from the two hatchlings who had gone down into the mine.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ687bmOIdUn
"If only the Iron Dragon Mother were as easy to fool as them."
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZrbfxES1e
Garros sighed.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MJEbclarQ
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdkbYu8Nlp
As for the two hatchlings, they are currently like fools and very easy to deceive.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFmYQ4Lk1B
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEFuUhBlZq
Meanwhile.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62oPUm3jhl
A gust of wind suddenly swept past.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK5eNWPtQP
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZhhLpwPV4
Dust flew wildly on the ground, and some gravel vibrated continuously.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9APOJhoiH
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAbmafaLgT
Waving his wings to disperse the dust, Garros looked closely.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMuQcle50G
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULTXpYdbrN
This was a Vicious Beast with a Rank of over 10.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYjanCPp08
It was also the high-quality blood-food that Garros needed.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79Be93ya62
The Iron Dragon Mother kept her end of the bargain with Garros, regularly providing him with high-quality blood-food.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCnemvDvcS
This was specifically for him.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo6ll43XeU
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12fbduAal1
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8GxxwCbua
After dropping the prey, the Iron Dragon Mother did not linger and went straight back to her nest.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxMH4k0Hrx
"Time to eat."
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiIVt25Oeo
Garros withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and began to tear into the Great Horned Bull's body.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDhT857gsd
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR2OKw1sQH
The beef was very fresh, no less than chasing it while it was still alive; it was tough and chewy.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9wjSpteMN
With every bite he swallowed, Garros felt his body warm up, receiving an abundant supply of nutritional energy.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov83Duqv2a
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYWqeZs4YC
"This is the feeling."
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01SQ9xzg1r
Garros's eyes lit up with joy.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICQFhoucML
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjdx0WCnEL
The young Dragon took a deep breath, opened his dragon maw wide, and revealed a mouthful of dragon teeth.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdukVUKeBm
Chomp!
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXdfbKZVaO
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqI5dNH123
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0A5TtDGsh
This also included the muscles that bore the recoil, the internal organs, etc.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkieTNmnJ3
However.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7iCtb3uN2
There were no visible changes on Garros's body, only the tingling, electric sensation remained constant.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8DSA3iQ7G
"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."
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wOMubz7Ez
Garros thought silently.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LEcWnivCu
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMrNiepq7z
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk7AWTsgyK
But Garros could shorten this time infinitely.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XyXbpjXlg
The key was that his evolutionary talent itself was also growing.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfRWtFuefu
"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."
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M3FWn9t47
He thought to himself.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvplcEMIn3h
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnCokD7ZCR
The tingling sensation on his body became exceptionally intense and rich.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlRbxrDyO7
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.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWWYFqo2gG
