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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsjV5gFVUj
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuLHGTubZy
In weather like this, many creatures could not withstand the heat and rarely ventured out.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jYpavytkk
The Dragonkin living inside the circular sinkhole were an exception.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6X1GRrcwf
As fire-elemental Dragons, such hot days actually made them feel more energetic and active than usual.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOakwtD2jrI
It had been over a month since Garros last negotiated with the Iron Dragon Mother.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTKr6MQ5V8
The young Dragons were in their prime growing phase, and Garros was very diligent in training to strengthen himself.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtXG700KdF
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUfZ0Ajjfu
"Break time is over, go dig for Ore for me!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ957U0LnSIM
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOGJWPt5mt
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!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFZ9cpKhwC
The Iron Dragon Mother had kin.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26d1FdA7wB
Among them was a Kobold clan that specialized in mining for the Iron Dragon Mother.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdznYsLXIig
Hearing this, Garros's tail struck the ground, sparking a flame, as he paced over to the two hatchlings.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7aZ8dg1JB
"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?"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWLiAdMJlN
He asked, lowering his gaze.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTTDEQi7nO
The two hatchlings looked at each other, confused.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk2DJnJshl
"Because you lack ambition!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVP9JGN1Aw
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!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl5oSb8F82
The young Dragon shook his head, showing a look of pity and disappointment.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR5IhUl1p5
"Trash that can't even outperform Kobolds; you truly disgrace your True Dragon blood."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1J3Il7c3i
He said in a tone of extreme disdain.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjdIOu7TqZ
"Bullshit! Kobolds have no right to compare with me!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12WbBg6Vlv
The Red Dragon Sister was furious.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1ERh28vM1
"Bullshit! I am a hundred times stronger than a Kobold!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAaU2Q5Pv1
The Iron Dragon Brother was also furious.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eRjGMH1P7
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."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmCC8Zx1rQ
"Hmph, don't underestimate us!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO0C9G37gf
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5YdI71TXB
The goading technique — a treasure against Dragonkin.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLBrIVo6dG
Dragonkin, with their arrogant and conceited nature, cannot stand being provoked.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWCMkAFPSA
He withdrew his gaze from the two hatchlings who had gone down into the mine.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fMgptBOaP
"If only the Iron Dragon Mother were as easy to fool as them."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzp7qtRTuf
Garros sighed.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rofDkgeST
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo796bBllr3
As for the two hatchlings, they are currently like fools and very easy to deceive.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6pXKyGvJv
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5cGH1rCqj
Meanwhile.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe37L24ETm
A gust of wind suddenly swept past.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDJgHEZamV
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVUWYzUaiN
Dust flew wildly on the ground, and some gravel vibrated continuously.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCqG32phAt
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SchowV3uZ
Waving his wings to disperse the dust, Garros looked closely.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4j7zyE5X7
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6wwQOpmA8
This was a Vicious Beast with a Rank of over 10.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmhcWmlTcy
It was also the high-quality blood-food that Garros needed.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSvfqpqAJx
The Iron Dragon Mother kept her end of the bargain with Garros, regularly providing him with high-quality blood-food.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcv4zSjlDG
This was specifically for him.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1OFP8MLNd
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1fLf3Fiop
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLplKNC6KE
After dropping the prey, the Iron Dragon Mother did not linger and went straight back to her nest.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfThX3hK38
"Time to eat."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOavchZoGJp
Garros withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and began to tear into the Great Horned Bull's body.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tz8aCXnL1
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtAaA9K7XF
The beef was very fresh, no less than chasing it while it was still alive; it was tough and chewy.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA55fmymcVv
With every bite he swallowed, Garros felt his body warm up, receiving an abundant supply of nutritional energy.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGtfHbtTDU
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y12tg3LTf
"This is the feeling."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDJk7SmX0A
Garros's eyes lit up with joy.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzvA2Aj8Cf
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJR8SzhKIo
The young Dragon took a deep breath, opened his dragon maw wide, and revealed a mouthful of dragon teeth.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQOwxaoVbx
Chomp!
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5aV6EPNG6
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjqeyVAxjz
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMFUFKbvHq
This also included the muscles that bore the recoil, the internal organs, etc.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b8qHjlg30
However.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl2S4B375b
There were no visible changes on Garros's body, only the tingling, electric sensation remained constant.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKac8YbPBV
"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."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDlgmwxCmS
Garros thought silently.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIPeu25nm6
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj4ldtvZXK
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8ZgsLqVUM
But Garros could shorten this time infinitely.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI0XXCGusZ
The key was that his evolutionary talent itself was also growing.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur7XCxsbzG
"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."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAzBbh9jNr
He thought to himself.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF2EskwQRi
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcar3X5QDi
The tingling sensation on his body became exceptionally intense and rich.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrin83aui0
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.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQwDYsP9hj
