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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tB0XiIECA
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIyxPdnsEi
In weather like this, many creatures could not withstand the heat and rarely ventured out.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhBC5y88FK
The Dragonkin living inside the circular sinkhole were an exception.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmz1SfFU8e
As fire-elemental Dragons, such hot days actually made them feel more energetic and active than usual.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jO6HiKM3W
It had been over a month since Garros last negotiated with the Iron Dragon Mother.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptd40YDvyB
The young Dragons were in their prime growing phase, and Garros was very diligent in training to strengthen himself.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ931qHH8ins
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5rISRxBEg
"Break time is over, go dig for Ore for me!"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6Z1e3xHDT
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMlBqejO4w
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!"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw5OWldHnk
The Iron Dragon Mother had kin.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHfKzPtYMj
Among them was a Kobold clan that specialized in mining for the Iron Dragon Mother.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo39VfdncFd
Hearing this, Garros's tail struck the ground, sparking a flame, as he paced over to the two hatchlings.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT8YyzqjAD
"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?"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ti8PFtWw8
He asked, lowering his gaze.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9FPZcKWzz
The two hatchlings looked at each other, confused.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKdVNPN2tA
"Because you lack ambition!"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK11I0PCz7
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!"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbMeG5FLg5
The young Dragon shook his head, showing a look of pity and disappointment.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nuTMSFBJF
"Trash that can't even outperform Kobolds; you truly disgrace your True Dragon blood."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzvOsUCriI
He said in a tone of extreme disdain.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiESfba9dk
"Bullshit! Kobolds have no right to compare with me!"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVH0vxmKs1
The Red Dragon Sister was furious.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0Lv9n73hr
"Bullshit! I am a hundred times stronger than a Kobold!"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijgATzeIS4
The Iron Dragon Brother was also furious.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin3CZCN9AL
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."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW44XgJQwCE
"Hmph, don't underestimate us!"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk1mdB0kHE
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSQX63UILN
The goading technique — a treasure against Dragonkin.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN34zYz6D3T
Dragonkin, with their arrogant and conceited nature, cannot stand being provoked.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt17QgibRY
He withdrew his gaze from the two hatchlings who had gone down into the mine.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0m3Q3QtFb
"If only the Iron Dragon Mother were as easy to fool as them."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVBV0GWVQR
Garros sighed.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HSb5IuRat
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlU343GoiY
As for the two hatchlings, they are currently like fools and very easy to deceive.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypwvWxKqsJ
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9agkgjnFC
Meanwhile.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD2fYYApvN
A gust of wind suddenly swept past.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQqYFnDRP7
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBpooxOmzp
Dust flew wildly on the ground, and some gravel vibrated continuously.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHWnkgafMe
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztO37z1vo4
Waving his wings to disperse the dust, Garros looked closely.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjNxc9bI6U
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5pKdKVf5j
This was a Vicious Beast with a Rank of over 10.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjI4Gtiynl
It was also the high-quality blood-food that Garros needed.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cOrORvqK0
The Iron Dragon Mother kept her end of the bargain with Garros, regularly providing him with high-quality blood-food.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwxAv1IqjE
This was specifically for him.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz6gr0cOZm
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm15tBz2rM
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPpqyuFtoz
After dropping the prey, the Iron Dragon Mother did not linger and went straight back to her nest.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zr5xm0zqp
"Time to eat."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYhgeBwXHq
Garros withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and began to tear into the Great Horned Bull's body.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEquUWAqvr
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraj3bbYBgB
The beef was very fresh, no less than chasing it while it was still alive; it was tough and chewy.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxbXypCoKT
With every bite he swallowed, Garros felt his body warm up, receiving an abundant supply of nutritional energy.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelOBomAdtv
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ107rJgXozf
"This is the feeling."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84r3lc5pDQ
Garros's eyes lit up with joy.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSg1XE5mTe
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEzBSsLyS9
The young Dragon took a deep breath, opened his dragon maw wide, and revealed a mouthful of dragon teeth.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4hEO203je
Chomp!
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnfnAyk1rY
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi5DINEDKe
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGyrdcK151
This also included the muscles that bore the recoil, the internal organs, etc.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g4zpjykaU
However.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCFaRLZM8i
There were no visible changes on Garros's body, only the tingling, electric sensation remained constant.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUAoNdy6is
"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."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyREwgPSLc
Garros thought silently.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFKFhissFo
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMO96meady
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjWM60B96q
But Garros could shorten this time infinitely.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9qR1uWcN1
The key was that his evolutionary talent itself was also growing.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtZLf89WWD
"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."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJlmXKq1jC
He thought to himself.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YOeIda7bG
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCXZhxCpGS
The tingling sensation on his body became exceptionally intense and rich.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf0iMgIXdo
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.75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2XD5FffEK
