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.

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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcAD2bCIyE
In weather like this, many creatures could not withstand the heat and rarely ventured out.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYC9Fflbpz
The Dragonkin living inside the circular sinkhole were an exception.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QNeihRQ3C
As fire-elemental Dragons, such hot days actually made them feel more energetic and active than usual.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTkvGxuVF8
It had been over a month since Garros last negotiated with the Iron Dragon Mother.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXUqfSeWMl
The young Dragons were in their prime growing phase, and Garros was very diligent in training to strengthen himself.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXMWiZoAL5
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmIgSqUfc8
"Break time is over, go dig for Ore for me!"
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiyf4ibjIq
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvky2j1qaBT
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!"
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzN9PlBZoE
The Iron Dragon Mother had kin.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz3Ejs8JVH
Among them was a Kobold clan that specialized in mining for the Iron Dragon Mother.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUOrc1HEHx
Hearing this, Garros's tail struck the ground, sparking a flame, as he paced over to the two hatchlings.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVHHPRajV2
"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?"
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIdwzhMYVE
He asked, lowering his gaze.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9dfl07oPj
The two hatchlings looked at each other, confused.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb4h6Hgto9
"Because you lack ambition!"
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHSYDkdhhs
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!"
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVPNeZQ8RE
The young Dragon shook his head, showing a look of pity and disappointment.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmePIsmELLQ
"Trash that can't even outperform Kobolds; you truly disgrace your True Dragon blood."
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSx0Q6mvkI
He said in a tone of extreme disdain.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1iKPeXAy2
"Bullshit! Kobolds have no right to compare with me!"
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsahhV8eoSB
The Red Dragon Sister was furious.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiOaBvxOxv
"Bullshit! I am a hundred times stronger than a Kobold!"
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Asas1kLnS
The Iron Dragon Brother was also furious.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHkikKEVs2
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."
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhLQlDwdbe
"Hmph, don't underestimate us!"
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BykT3dwvC
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTGEIbm0lj
The goading technique — a treasure against Dragonkin.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG7RjKpFIW
Dragonkin, with their arrogant and conceited nature, cannot stand being provoked.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BSgCxCAfa
He withdrew his gaze from the two hatchlings who had gone down into the mine.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzESCZ2Zhkw
"If only the Iron Dragon Mother were as easy to fool as them."
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6J8kTbxIG
Garros sighed.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uP6sJrqRJ
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNogdIQWVIi
As for the two hatchlings, they are currently like fools and very easy to deceive.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBC1AGxIrE
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUoUY1ZciH
Meanwhile.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwRFXfuhHd
A gust of wind suddenly swept past.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCJvd8gLEr
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkymd1Valhe
Dust flew wildly on the ground, and some gravel vibrated continuously.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTOjzTfyEW
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNAOtXjuDj
Waving his wings to disperse the dust, Garros looked closely.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTWqUr4666
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RqMXSVEhz
This was a Vicious Beast with a Rank of over 10.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMLLmheHGa
It was also the high-quality blood-food that Garros needed.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06SkD7sriI
The Iron Dragon Mother kept her end of the bargain with Garros, regularly providing him with high-quality blood-food.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAajlqn8Kmq
This was specifically for him.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wHnlhq4Rw
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXg9qmeQ74
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tsuIqEIrW
After dropping the prey, the Iron Dragon Mother did not linger and went straight back to her nest.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdYrlucYfU
"Time to eat."
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8WwaZXAjg
Garros withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and began to tear into the Great Horned Bull's body.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2FSTsFYkP
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEiGRI8DlN
The beef was very fresh, no less than chasing it while it was still alive; it was tough and chewy.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavVIYYVNKQ
With every bite he swallowed, Garros felt his body warm up, receiving an abundant supply of nutritional energy.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8lsSk6IqU
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh2rKyxSbt
"This is the feeling."
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p05npcwKv
Garros's eyes lit up with joy.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVxyMhHlwp
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYrD2c0J68
The young Dragon took a deep breath, opened his dragon maw wide, and revealed a mouthful of dragon teeth.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWtWkgoVfF
Chomp!
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnClAG7ln5
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9UjYxNanG
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfCR0ViHwB
This also included the muscles that bore the recoil, the internal organs, etc.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjzNNDS6Dk
However.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM4ODxZA3P
There were no visible changes on Garros's body, only the tingling, electric sensation remained constant.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIYkg84yTQ
"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."
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlcXd28MZ7
Garros thought silently.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhGtHXaGm6
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf8THKTFwS
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvLk5w1Upc
But Garros could shorten this time infinitely.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOASuEBnG6E
The key was that his evolutionary talent itself was also growing.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPARsYBnRq
"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."
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLr9jtiWLJ
He thought to himself.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1TcKVZ9Xx
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVs1d474tl
The tingling sensation on his body became exceptionally intense and rich.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBihYaVP65
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.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmoLx3EYF4
