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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JDy8HBIcX
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLDGSFcq9f
In weather like this, many creatures could not withstand the heat and rarely ventured out.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8nMvN3puG
The Dragonkin living inside the circular sinkhole were an exception.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmf7BI5Qzb
As fire-elemental Dragons, such hot days actually made them feel more energetic and active than usual.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfITHYQIyPm
It had been over a month since Garros last negotiated with the Iron Dragon Mother.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV1MUNokMz
The young Dragons were in their prime growing phase, and Garros was very diligent in training to strengthen himself.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuKz2aSXEK
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb2l54s3mA
"Break time is over, go dig for Ore for me!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViMCxiMZ5Y
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Hu3Mgj5Lu
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!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t0qLzaGU8
The Iron Dragon Mother had kin.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAOcXhX2JP
Among them was a Kobold clan that specialized in mining for the Iron Dragon Mother.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMrJFsl8Yh
Hearing this, Garros's tail struck the ground, sparking a flame, as he paced over to the two hatchlings.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNK4mdD6VR
"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?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWpuE8evsA
He asked, lowering his gaze.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEpKWbsN67
The two hatchlings looked at each other, confused.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMH0AEgaLg
"Because you lack ambition!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvRxpyANFd
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!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxthgQdDyf
The young Dragon shook his head, showing a look of pity and disappointment.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NuovGwl7T
"Trash that can't even outperform Kobolds; you truly disgrace your True Dragon blood."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczoKbhRGsO
He said in a tone of extreme disdain.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeNl6WXZVB
"Bullshit! Kobolds have no right to compare with me!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4DppXc6WK
The Red Dragon Sister was furious.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIm9UctYd8
"Bullshit! I am a hundred times stronger than a Kobold!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvsJlra4gF
The Iron Dragon Brother was also furious.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet0qRJO7xe
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."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2yw4BQlKJ
"Hmph, don't underestimate us!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIX3row6L9
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXRhHK3ZuA
The goading technique — a treasure against Dragonkin.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbqLq7cAPH
Dragonkin, with their arrogant and conceited nature, cannot stand being provoked.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvhJRbRKW9
He withdrew his gaze from the two hatchlings who had gone down into the mine.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVrtrrpBEj
"If only the Iron Dragon Mother were as easy to fool as them."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8ul2aVrCj
Garros sighed.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa4oSel29X
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5L9eND2DA
As for the two hatchlings, they are currently like fools and very easy to deceive.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzSU2ruWi6
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk7WWhZYQP
Meanwhile.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyHoNlsrW0
A gust of wind suddenly swept past.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWk3ZDebe7
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OzQsFTShz
Dust flew wildly on the ground, and some gravel vibrated continuously.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38IA5U1z0Q
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIklIJhlZXz
Waving his wings to disperse the dust, Garros looked closely.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXfrspSbzY
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQdPSjjksv
This was a Vicious Beast with a Rank of over 10.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs3qLoTIm2
It was also the high-quality blood-food that Garros needed.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6yUKMyEwx
The Iron Dragon Mother kept her end of the bargain with Garros, regularly providing him with high-quality blood-food.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWxqv6gE1Z
This was specifically for him.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaAQp4yifW
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQgUWAjcOx
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqIOP22pmM
After dropping the prey, the Iron Dragon Mother did not linger and went straight back to her nest.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiod3F0FNv9
"Time to eat."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUHbtWrm0s
Garros withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and began to tear into the Great Horned Bull's body.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD3BoaQvOP
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i05FO7913
The beef was very fresh, no less than chasing it while it was still alive; it was tough and chewy.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7juFGxm6Uu
With every bite he swallowed, Garros felt his body warm up, receiving an abundant supply of nutritional energy.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb96LVEH6b
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVFkXRU58r
"This is the feeling."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCkrMNMsBR
Garros's eyes lit up with joy.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgbP5ro6Mi
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFB5LKFIQr
The young Dragon took a deep breath, opened his dragon maw wide, and revealed a mouthful of dragon teeth.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVcNKjVEn5
Chomp!
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW6LX1qapN
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksQvDwkBsl
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdGwDFLnlb
This also included the muscles that bore the recoil, the internal organs, etc.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWh9xjKWjt
However.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBmdO7e8rm
There were no visible changes on Garros's body, only the tingling, electric sensation remained constant.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX7JNkprrd
"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."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBeoE2lxYg
Garros thought silently.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ldY4nMfcY
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdgzCVBEdN
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKjw7LN5j4
But Garros could shorten this time infinitely.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSPJkBYzDW
The key was that his evolutionary talent itself was also growing.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60FNS9P93p
"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."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjemrJRogdn
He thought to himself.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9rcbBUSUN
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjQnr1G4Ux
The tingling sensation on his body became exceptionally intense and rich.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNksobuGym
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.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIbC9IneFY
