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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n1nPOixLp
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHar5M95t62
In weather like this, many creatures could not withstand the heat and rarely ventured out.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwygzaiuNHL
The Dragonkin living inside the circular sinkhole were an exception.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENUm4q89Zm
As fire-elemental Dragons, such hot days actually made them feel more energetic and active than usual.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aTlY7Sx8V
It had been over a month since Garros last negotiated with the Iron Dragon Mother.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgU55b9yK5
The young Dragons were in their prime growing phase, and Garros was very diligent in training to strengthen himself.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55ACGBiiXM
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ir0aL4nC1
"Break time is over, go dig for Ore for me!"
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr069POKed
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4U888CBxU
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!"
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylJhTTSf1k
The Iron Dragon Mother had kin.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wFuL9Frti
Among them was a Kobold clan that specialized in mining for the Iron Dragon Mother.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB8UT3gxA8
Hearing this, Garros's tail struck the ground, sparking a flame, as he paced over to the two hatchlings.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjFW8r0P0d
"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?"
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ck8TnWzOB
He asked, lowering his gaze.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgxOlsuST9
The two hatchlings looked at each other, confused.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26TP918ajj
"Because you lack ambition!"
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpKIjU8L1q
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!"
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2sPd5KSgn
The young Dragon shook his head, showing a look of pity and disappointment.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbph1ViWJA
"Trash that can't even outperform Kobolds; you truly disgrace your True Dragon blood."
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6u3aN8ZX3
He said in a tone of extreme disdain.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVTEfLaiRI
"Bullshit! Kobolds have no right to compare with me!"
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMNJppb2yr
The Red Dragon Sister was furious.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3pc5FFB7S
"Bullshit! I am a hundred times stronger than a Kobold!"
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1mLeP4Nzp
The Iron Dragon Brother was also furious.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOHd2QuRKk
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."
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8DFBtuZkv
"Hmph, don't underestimate us!"
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmPPXy4PNS
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI87gv102q5
The goading technique — a treasure against Dragonkin.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF5r5catwG
Dragonkin, with their arrogant and conceited nature, cannot stand being provoked.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1roGMCrVT
He withdrew his gaze from the two hatchlings who had gone down into the mine.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4SQ3cD9m0
"If only the Iron Dragon Mother were as easy to fool as them."
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwz2lgQPFq
Garros sighed.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJodzVEhVc
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz70xrcqtE
As for the two hatchlings, they are currently like fools and very easy to deceive.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvrJa4Bjs9
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr59gpRMYAP
Meanwhile.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRtyBoDrzJ
A gust of wind suddenly swept past.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXIYHD3lcv
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyELHKNbUZ
Dust flew wildly on the ground, and some gravel vibrated continuously.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFMSwK5sdM
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIDv7jvBSX
Waving his wings to disperse the dust, Garros looked closely.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpbTA0ufwK
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrPjyCqsZV
This was a Vicious Beast with a Rank of over 10.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24lSOiOgZM
It was also the high-quality blood-food that Garros needed.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxLgjw0Z73
The Iron Dragon Mother kept her end of the bargain with Garros, regularly providing him with high-quality blood-food.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtZmfuSrP6
This was specifically for him.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXl1QwZXvz
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxeoTuZzi5
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfXEgin77k
After dropping the prey, the Iron Dragon Mother did not linger and went straight back to her nest.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT26vNcpGP
"Time to eat."
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlvffl8Gb0
Garros withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and began to tear into the Great Horned Bull's body.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8f4wKsmMZ
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbkMe3JxGO
The beef was very fresh, no less than chasing it while it was still alive; it was tough and chewy.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOPdPLkNGn
With every bite he swallowed, Garros felt his body warm up, receiving an abundant supply of nutritional energy.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILoSEla2lu
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1jOcy7AlT
"This is the feeling."
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNolMSyd5r
Garros's eyes lit up with joy.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQPg84KWqH
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpr2xyjcKU
The young Dragon took a deep breath, opened his dragon maw wide, and revealed a mouthful of dragon teeth.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIFCeh331g
Chomp!
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRBaluYZaY
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGxOuepl48
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3beP1aJldX
This also included the muscles that bore the recoil, the internal organs, etc.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlpSb85Pbw
However.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZHnSG9hM2
There were no visible changes on Garros's body, only the tingling, electric sensation remained constant.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtq9H3rRpC
"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."
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIPdol7mE0
Garros thought silently.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuiFooZt8Z
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoAqCZZNuw
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FoCdhKeCP
But Garros could shorten this time infinitely.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kxKaxe0zQ
The key was that his evolutionary talent itself was also growing.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRnVwUD6Pz
"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."
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOnhKmvAyl
He thought to himself.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksKAvTYAlK
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm29THWlpl
The tingling sensation on his body became exceptionally intense and rich.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4kUixMHSX
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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQoPYp8KfP
