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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzcCxyVSxQ
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAusa359tY
In weather like this, many creatures could not withstand the heat and rarely ventured out.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpFGqbbyzo
The Dragonkin living inside the circular sinkhole were an exception.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe7hzLmLSO
As fire-elemental Dragons, such hot days actually made them feel more energetic and active than usual.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziZU4YeqL9
It had been over a month since Garros last negotiated with the Iron Dragon Mother.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4anqqzfzdF
The young Dragons were in their prime growing phase, and Garros was very diligent in training to strengthen himself.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNIH3Q4oSG
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVlZUL4HBX
"Break time is over, go dig for Ore for me!"
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6q4rYMA1u
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JwVA3Hi5c
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!"
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf0gMzfSZx
The Iron Dragon Mother had kin.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9biN1Cafyl
Among them was a Kobold clan that specialized in mining for the Iron Dragon Mother.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnCkZpKZHs
Hearing this, Garros's tail struck the ground, sparking a flame, as he paced over to the two hatchlings.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLUczxR3mE
"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?"
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qgjhAy8Fd
He asked, lowering his gaze.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmbac4YSC1
The two hatchlings looked at each other, confused.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzqzDZcysY
"Because you lack ambition!"
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpABiZlfgu
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!"
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPT4LUSHdf
The young Dragon shook his head, showing a look of pity and disappointment.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGo3I7Fltj
"Trash that can't even outperform Kobolds; you truly disgrace your True Dragon blood."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn2CqkEFQn
He said in a tone of extreme disdain.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ufbcdrT6x
"Bullshit! Kobolds have no right to compare with me!"
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3ZnnVkCD0
The Red Dragon Sister was furious.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw101MY5Lp
"Bullshit! I am a hundred times stronger than a Kobold!"
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjUVv38Vwa
The Iron Dragon Brother was also furious.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU3kGwSLYk
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."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLdDAadCPp
"Hmph, don't underestimate us!"
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwAAKLNuhp
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQfFJqHfbi
The goading technique — a treasure against Dragonkin.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc91GMeUTpu
Dragonkin, with their arrogant and conceited nature, cannot stand being provoked.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrp34PznT2
He withdrew his gaze from the two hatchlings who had gone down into the mine.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFABGWIoSA
"If only the Iron Dragon Mother were as easy to fool as them."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XXyHlIl7W
Garros sighed.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruJccMnsDs
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoFvhNKq5n
As for the two hatchlings, they are currently like fools and very easy to deceive.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vODWQgwyw
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYotbCpGqS
Meanwhile.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBT4zrbUuM
A gust of wind suddenly swept past.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKyektK6T7
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM2zNvU3rf
Dust flew wildly on the ground, and some gravel vibrated continuously.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Kw7hBn60a
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcqxXpBivl
Waving his wings to disperse the dust, Garros looked closely.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWCBpktXFn
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAZLrZab5Z
This was a Vicious Beast with a Rank of over 10.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlLowZTySn
It was also the high-quality blood-food that Garros needed.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlA7pb0F6e
The Iron Dragon Mother kept her end of the bargain with Garros, regularly providing him with high-quality blood-food.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ5hhFKi6t
This was specifically for him.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiIOW90uKs
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yelA3KLj4
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5FT1XPpk3
After dropping the prey, the Iron Dragon Mother did not linger and went straight back to her nest.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNlNKZnmHV
"Time to eat."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm29FdEWrP
Garros withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and began to tear into the Great Horned Bull's body.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy37lgAZOru
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9UdtPWtnY
The beef was very fresh, no less than chasing it while it was still alive; it was tough and chewy.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EX3YOnG2r
With every bite he swallowed, Garros felt his body warm up, receiving an abundant supply of nutritional energy.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMVKxprIBX
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94FcCN4WqW
"This is the feeling."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqurEbkrgMj
Garros's eyes lit up with joy.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p25Y6N4VU
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6MBnyRwQu
The young Dragon took a deep breath, opened his dragon maw wide, and revealed a mouthful of dragon teeth.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiFqfBJpgR
Chomp!
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ0xYuR9DT
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC761ovsXx
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcZ6dsv3tF
This also included the muscles that bore the recoil, the internal organs, etc.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzlbtgAiGJ
However.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucdE8ILQ5o
There were no visible changes on Garros's body, only the tingling, electric sensation remained constant.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uALR2gI7D
"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."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr71ZGacPQ
Garros thought silently.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sefnk0uGk
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kAy82sQTF
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwgX6HwgXe
But Garros could shorten this time infinitely.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9ghaFq0N8
The key was that his evolutionary talent itself was also growing.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3JxCZ7flH
"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."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I5bRzLiXR
He thought to himself.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7Zvyp0Ezr
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMRmpzciFy
The tingling sensation on his body became exceptionally intense and rich.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBjQuLrjd8
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.79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CUgARa0FO
