Chapter 12 Crimson Scale Python (Seeking monthly votes and continued reading)

"My Wing Slash at full speed is very powerful; I'm afraid even my own defenses couldn't withstand it."

Galos thought to himself.

The armor on the Earth Bear is made of rock, but it is harder than ordinary metal steel. Moreover, the armor on its arms is the thickest. Its fur, flesh, and bones are not fragile.

Even so, it was still severed by Garus's dragon wing.

Throughout the brief process, he felt almost no hindrance or stagnation.

Its body traced an arc in the low air, leaving long cracks in the ground with its claws. It stood firm on the other side, and then in the next second, its limbs bent slightly. The muscle fibers under its dragon scales twisted up like steel wires, bursting out with formidable power.

The dragon wings flapped faster.

Galos raced across the ground, shattering the earth with each step. Its dragon-winged blades sliced ​​through trees along the way, its momentum far exceeding that of a young dragon, as it charged towards the Earth Bear once more.

The main purpose of this battle is to test the current strength of the dragon wings.

As for self-sacrificing impact skills like the Great Wilderness Dragon Meteor, Galos has already mastered them.

Intense pain shot through his severed arm. Facing the dragon's overwhelming might, seemingly unstoppable, the ferocity in the Earth Bear's bones vanished. Instead of roaring or howling, it let out a soft whimper.

Then.

Garos, who was speeding at full speed, trying to split the Earth Bear in two with his dragon wings, was stunned to see the Earth Bear in front of him whimper and then simply and neatly prostrate itself on the ground, cowering and showing no sign of resisting anymore, with its rear end sticking up, its head lowered, and almost completely buried in the ground.

Whoosh!

Just as it was about to crash into the Earth Bear, the young dragon, which was almost within arm's reach, suddenly rose up.

Garros ascended in a straight line, then veered off course in mid-air before landing steadily, choosing not to kill the Earth Bear.

They sensed the strong wind subside and the dragon's might dissipate.

The Earth Bear quietly raised its head and looked at the young dragon that was walking towards it step by step.

"Woo-ah-woo-la!"

It made a whimpering sound, and its eyes revealed anthropomorphic fawning and fear.

Monsters are generally intelligent, and monsters like the Earth Bear are no less intelligent than humans, making them intelligent beings who are born with the ability to speak some giant languages.

Giants are the enemies of dragons.

As the saying goes, the one who understands you best is always your enemy.

The Dragon Legacy contains the language of giants, which Garoth can understand.

"Noble dragon, please spare me"—this was roughly the meaning behind the words spoken by the Earth Bear.

"The heritage says that the Earth Bear is fearless and dares to attack dragons fiercely. I don't know about other things, but this Earth Bear is not quite the same as the description recorded. It seems that the Dragon Heritage cannot be completely trusted."

Galos gazed at the Earth Bear, lost in thought.

"But the battle was too short, and I haven't fully determined the strength of my dragon wings yet."

With a slight narrowing of his eyes, Galos revealed a dangerous glint in his dragon pupils.

The Earth Bear keenly observed this and immediately shoved it back into the ground, looking like an ostrich, its body trembling. In short, it was a case of "you can kill me if you want, I won't look or resist."

Seeing this, Garus lost his will to kill.

He does not yet have any servants to serve him; perhaps this Earth Bear can be tamed.

He stepped forward.

Galos reached out a paw and gently patted the Earth Bear's head.

The other person trembled slightly in fright, then looked up and saw Galos's calm and unwavering gaze.

"Choose to surrender, and I can give you a chance to live."

Garros spoke in a somewhat broken Giant's tongue.

"It's my pleasure."

The Earth Bear nodded like a chick pecking at rice, readily agreeing.

Galos's power shocked it.

The Earth Bear, capable of living alone in the wilderness, was not ignorant. Although it could not determine what kind of dragon the other was, it could tell from Garros's size that Garros was just a young dragon. So the Earth Bear was very brave at the beginning and showed no fear. However, it lost an arm the moment it made contact with Garros. After a few more blows, it thought it was doomed.

After a brief exchange, Galos learned the name of the Earth Bear—Mobel, a male Earth Bear.

The giant bear, having survived, picked up its severed arm and pressed it against its wound.

Earthy yellow energy swirled around it, temporarily binding it together.

The Earth Bear's regenerative and recovery abilities are quite strong; after a period of rest, its arm will still be usable.

Are there any monsters around you that are at or slightly stronger than you? I haven't had enough fun yet.

Galus asked the Earth Bear.

The Earth Bear nodded and pointed its paw southward.

“There is a red phosphorus python in this direction. I have fought it many times, and we were evenly matched.”

As he spoke, a glint of light flashed in the Earth Bear's eyes, and his expression was one of schadenfreude.

The Red Scale Python and the Earth Bear are mortal enemies. They have fought many times for territory and resources, and the Earth Bear has many old scars left by the Red Scale Python.

"lead the way."

Galos took to the air.

The Earth Bear strode across the ground, running southwards with great strides, and led by it, Galos soon discovered the Red-Scaled Python's lair.

It perched on a giant sequoia, its body almost as thick as the sequoia, its body covered in fiery red snake scales.

Its creature level is also 8, the same as the Earth Bear.

The difference is that the Red-Scaled Python is a ferocious beast with little intelligence.

Having locked onto its target, the young dragon, hundreds of meters in the air, tensed its muscles and spread its blade-like wings, swooping down to attack the Crimson Scale Python.

Less than a minute later.

As the dragon's wings swept past, the enormous head of the crimson python soared into the sky, spraying blood rain onto Garos, adding to his ferocious aura.

"Even level 8 ferocious beasts and monsters can't last long against me."

Galos shook his dragon wings, wiping off the blood.

Although he could fight opponents of higher levels so easily, he was not arrogant or complacent. Dragons were top-tier monsters, so it was only natural that they could do such a thing.

Life level is only a reference and cannot truly measure combat power.

Galos kept in mind that arrogance and conceit were the greatest original sins that killed dragons, and he must not lose himself because of temporary power.

Moreover, he can't be considered powerful. In this wilderness, he only has some means of self-defense. He is still a long, long way from being able to do whatever he wants without any restrictions.

Putting everything else aside, Iron Dragon's mother could kill him with a few slaps.

Even an adult dragon like Iron Dragon Girl cannot be considered a ruler in the Wilderness of Sel.

Not long after, Galos left the Earth Bear in the area and returned to the sinkhole territory without taking it with him.

The reason is quite simple.

Given Iron Dragon Girl's personality, she wouldn't allow the uncontrollable Earth Bear to roam her territory and would forcibly enslave it, since Garos didn't use the Dragon Vein Transformation on it.

Dragon Vein Transformation – Dragons bestow their own essence and blood upon other creatures, transforming them into dragon vein beings who are loyal to them from the bottom of their hearts.

Compared to his familiars, Garus values ​​himself more. He is still a young dragon, in the prime of his growth. Dividing his essence and blood would slow down his growth, and he would not let a familiar hinder his own development.

The Earth Bear that has not undergone the transformation of the Dragon Vein.

His verbal submission is unreliable; he can simply escape without listening to Galus.

but.

Survival in the wilderness is difficult and fraught with danger. Even he needs to be careful. Monsters like the Earth Bear will not leave their familiar areas unless they have no other choice.

It doesn't matter if they really escape.

Garus subdued his familiars as a matter of course, and deep down he didn't care much for them. At most, he would kill them if he encountered them again, but if he didn't, he wouldn't bother with them.

and.

On one side is a perilous wilderness, a life of wandering and escape; on the other side is a powerful, exceptionally promising dragon ally.

With the intelligence of a giant bear, it knows how to make a choice.

When we returned to the sinkhole territory, the sky was still bright, and the sun was radiating its high temperature as always.

“Garos, Mother wants us to go to its dragon's lair.”

As soon as they landed on the cliff edge, the two baby dragons came over to Garros and said something—or more accurately, the two young dragons.

As a year passed, both Red Dragon Girl and Iron Dragon Brother grew larger and reached the age of baby dragons.

"It's been a long time since the three of us were summoned at the same time. I wonder what Mother wants to tell us."

Red Dragon Girl blinked, looking somewhat curious.

"Hehe, maybe Mother has prepared a delicious blood dish for us to enjoy together."

Tie Longdi tilted his head and guessed with amusement.

Have those two idiots already forgotten what happened to me a year ago?

Galos shook his head slightly.

He remained silent and flew towards the Iron Dragon Mother's dragon nest, with the two young dragons following closely behind, excitedly going together.
