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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiJ6MCl7sQ
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsorECfJxTH
In weather like this, many creatures could not withstand the heat and rarely ventured out.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPzMGHxvuo
The Dragonkin living inside the circular sinkhole were an exception.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsgB9B4hHL
As fire-elemental Dragons, such hot days actually made them feel more energetic and active than usual.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UsXUAg3CI
It had been over a month since Garros last negotiated with the Iron Dragon Mother.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuvsTo45OX
The young Dragons were in their prime growing phase, and Garros was very diligent in training to strengthen himself.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VZ8VkZabL
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7a6OmjhV3
"Break time is over, go dig for Ore for me!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4vQMmY991
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUyxu1uFZm
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!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0212ausx85
The Iron Dragon Mother had kin.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG1Ywxolus
Among them was a Kobold clan that specialized in mining for the Iron Dragon Mother.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FiFfrM8zK
Hearing this, Garros's tail struck the ground, sparking a flame, as he paced over to the two hatchlings.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSVlWrgbej
"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?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQLzfTnDJc
He asked, lowering his gaze.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczSMb4WtnL
The two hatchlings looked at each other, confused.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNH9FBkKEU
"Because you lack ambition!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9xwnA9UJd
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!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8qokGdLFG
The young Dragon shook his head, showing a look of pity and disappointment.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalZlbdUQlJ
"Trash that can't even outperform Kobolds; you truly disgrace your True Dragon blood."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEdyiOLNVu
He said in a tone of extreme disdain.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK9Ey1OtFF
"Bullshit! Kobolds have no right to compare with me!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gk3Mt9CaQ
The Red Dragon Sister was furious.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjtY9o5qjH
"Bullshit! I am a hundred times stronger than a Kobold!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b0NX6wEpJ
The Iron Dragon Brother was also furious.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw0VsyfdIu
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."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfM8TfmKOx
"Hmph, don't underestimate us!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JotHEQfxS
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE48CS0Egh
The goading technique — a treasure against Dragonkin.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI2POBXfTJ
Dragonkin, with their arrogant and conceited nature, cannot stand being provoked.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDgYc2gv43
He withdrew his gaze from the two hatchlings who had gone down into the mine.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeEbBKaXiA
"If only the Iron Dragon Mother were as easy to fool as them."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZYlQKRL27
Garros sighed.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv14CjWtfmZ
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT0GnzYwJc
As for the two hatchlings, they are currently like fools and very easy to deceive.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOrweSaYsk
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1XOv0hnsW
Meanwhile.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2K1Oi2Qze
A gust of wind suddenly swept past.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5LOHxeRBK
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrAYYXBfDV
Dust flew wildly on the ground, and some gravel vibrated continuously.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jzjhVA8it
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pRsvZBCK2
Waving his wings to disperse the dust, Garros looked closely.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtIhzqtVw7
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ326kOjkyVS
This was a Vicious Beast with a Rank of over 10.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eQdBdZ20W
It was also the high-quality blood-food that Garros needed.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7DEqW3G44
The Iron Dragon Mother kept her end of the bargain with Garros, regularly providing him with high-quality blood-food.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShr5rIbwJW
This was specifically for him.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKpSCAtog4
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvpTXla4Wb
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRzfe2FVEE
After dropping the prey, the Iron Dragon Mother did not linger and went straight back to her nest.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcoStuxd74
"Time to eat."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6vgdjRlYB
Garros withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and began to tear into the Great Horned Bull's body.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHlitsATOD
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4hlYAQnOg
The beef was very fresh, no less than chasing it while it was still alive; it was tough and chewy.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTkOCflQeD
With every bite he swallowed, Garros felt his body warm up, receiving an abundant supply of nutritional energy.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5thqo5p4BP
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFIdAIaeuI
"This is the feeling."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMMjvGPUWh
Garros's eyes lit up with joy.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiGMw8jWxf
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5p40ShrU5
The young Dragon took a deep breath, opened his dragon maw wide, and revealed a mouthful of dragon teeth.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXrRfOvgXh
Chomp!
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHA2vUtggr
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcabvXeB2lc
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyfR13av5Q
This also included the muscles that bore the recoil, the internal organs, etc.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51CtUWgew2
However.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqmVLyuADE
There were no visible changes on Garros's body, only the tingling, electric sensation remained constant.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOiH8eBboy
"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."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RGPxCccys
Garros thought silently.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuFMoCNUzu
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KOqpjbNBs
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qyShuEU6T
But Garros could shorten this time infinitely.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSVceWLuw4
The key was that his evolutionary talent itself was also growing.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8Ezhmr2DK
"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."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO6OTV7uQv
He thought to himself.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91uT5SApDr
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51PwlWTZGf
The tingling sensation on his body became exceptionally intense and rich.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Vf2cBpdQo
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.78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IpY6EQ5HT
