Chapter 5 Evolution (Seeking monthly votes and continued reading)

Under the blazing sun, the scorching sunlight poured down like molten gold, baking the entire wilderness until it was scorching hot.

The surface temperature continued to rise, the air rippled with distortion, and the distant mountains appeared and disappeared in the heat wave, their outlines blurred like a mirage.

In weather like this, many creatures cannot withstand the heat and rarely venture out.

Dragons living inside circular sinkholes are not included in this category.

As fire-type dragons, such hot weather can actually make them more excited and active than usual.

More than a month has passed since Galos last negotiated with the Iron Dragon Girl.

The young dragon was growing rapidly, and Garus trained very diligently to strengthen himself.

In the past month, his body has grown slightly, his dragon scales are like cast iron, and the muscle fibers hidden beneath seem to twist like steel wires when he exerts force, ready to unleash powerful strength at any moment.

"Rest time's over, go mine!"

Near the mountain wall, Garus curled his tail and threw out two stones, which hit the Iron Dragon Brother and Red Dragon Sister on the head respectively.

The two fledglings raised their heads in dissatisfaction and protested righteously, "We've only rested for an hour! Garus, this is torture! During the same mining time, Mother's kobold retinue gets two hours of rest!"

Iron Dragon Girl has a retinue.

One of the kobold clans was dedicated to mining for the Iron Dragon Maiden.

Upon hearing this, Garus flicked his tail, sending sparks flying, and strode over to the two baby dragons.

"Do you know why you can never beat me, why you're always pinned down by me, why you can only be repeatedly ravaged and humiliated by me?"

He lowered his eyes and asked.

The two fledglings looked at each other, puzzled.

"Because you lack ambition!"

Garros crouched down, his shadow enveloping the two fledgling dragons, and said in a deep voice, "You, as noble true dragons with dragon veins flowing through your veins, dare to compare yourselves to kobolds!"

The young dragon shook its head, its eyes filled with pity and disappointment.

"You trash who are not even as good as kobolds are a disgrace to your true dragon blood."

He said it in an extremely disdainful tone.

"You're talking nonsense! A kobold has no right to compare himself to me!"

Red Dragon Girl was furious.

"You're talking nonsense! I'm a hundred times stronger than the kobolds!"

Tie Longdi was also furious.

Garus's expression softened slightly, and he grinned: "Words are no proof. Prove it to me, show me your determination, show me your strength and resilience as dragons."

"Hmph, don't underestimate us!"

The two fledgling dragons snorted and then went down into the mine they had previously opened with great enthusiasm. They were determined to make Garros understand that they were not comparable to the kobolds and vowed to make Garros think highly of them.

Provocation tactic – a Noble Phantasm against dragons.

Dragons, with their proud and arrogant nature, are most susceptible to provocation and instigation.

His gaze shifted from the two fledgling dragons that had descended into the mine.

"If only the Iron Dragon Girl were as easy to fool as they are."

Galos sighed.

As dragons grow older and gain more experience, they can more or less control their instincts. Adult dragons like Iron Dragon Girl are much more intelligent than fledglings.

As for the two fledglings, they're like idiots now, very easy to fool.

If dragons like these grow another year and become baby dragons, and are driven away by their mothers and forced to live alone, given their timid and playful nature, it's hard to imagine how they could survive in this perilous world.

at the same time.

A sudden gust of wind swept by.

Garus looked up at the sky and saw the Iron Dragon Girl soaring through the air, her body enormous and imposing, her dragon might overwhelming. Her wingspan of nearly forty meters cast a thick shadow on the ground.

Dust flew everywhere on the ground, and some gravel trembled constantly.

A dark, blurry shadow was thrown down by the Iron Dragon Girl. It crashed to the ground with a deafening thud, like an earthquake. The impact created a deep crater, with numerous cracks spreading outwards and a ring of dust rapidly dissipating.

With a flap of its wings, it dispersed the dust, and Galus looked closely.

The massive bull, weighing tens of tons, with layers of muscle, a pair of huge horns on its head, and covered in hard armor, was reflected in Galus's vision.

This is a ferocious beast with a biological level of 10 or higher.

This is also the high-quality blood food that Galos needs.

Iron Dragon Girl abides by the terms of her deal with Garos, regularly providing him with high-quality blood food.

This was made especially for him.

As for the two hatchlings, they were forced to mine by Garros, but they didn't work day and night. They weren't true slaves, and the Iron Dragon Girl provided them with food after they returned to the dragon's nest.

Iron Dragon Girl is aloof but values ​​rules. She is always competent in doing what she is supposed to do and has never mistreated any of the fledgling dragons, but she has not given them any special treatment either.

After abandoning her prey, Iron Dragon Girl did not linger and returned directly to her lair.

"Let's eat."

Galos withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and began to tear apart the body of the Great Horned Bull.

Even with the teeth honed from gnawing metal ores, Galus couldn't bite through the hard armor covering its body in one go; it required several forceful bites.

The beef was so fresh that it was as if you were chasing after it while it was still alive to gnaw on it; it was firm and chewy.

With each bite, Galos felt warm and refreshed, receiving a rich replenishment of nutrients and energy.

As he devoured a large portion of the Great Horned Bull's flesh, a tingling, itchy sensation suddenly arose from within and outside Garros's body, surging and flowing like waves.

"That's the feeling."

Galos's eyes lit up with delight.

Having eaten a lot of beef in one go, even with his dragon-like iron stomach, Galos felt a bit full. However, as a tingling sensation arose from within and outside his body, his feeling of fullness subsided, and he even developed a strong craving for food again.

The young dragon took a deep breath, opened its mouth wide, revealing a mouthful of dragon teeth.

Awooo!

He tore off a large piece of beef, chewed it casually a few times, and swallowed it. The beef almost instantly turned into a warm, comforting sensation, which then spread throughout Galos's body with waves of tingling sensation, mainly concentrated in the areas where Galos had been training recently.

The scales that come into direct contact with the earth, the dragon horns that repeatedly strike the mountain, and the dragon tail that whips the rocks.

This also includes the muscles, internal organs, and so on, that have withstood the recoil.

but.

There were no visible changes in Galos's body, only a constant tingling and electric sensation.

"Evolution is not completed in an instant. Rather, it is when I have accumulated enough adaptation and have sufficient energy to replenish myself, that I make rapid progress over a period of time and achieve corresponding evolution based on my recent accumulated adaptation."

Galos thought to himself.

Over the past few years, he has been constantly thinking about and exploring the essence of his talent, and has his own guesses and ideas.

Every living organism has the power to adapt and evolve; however, under normal circumstances, it often takes millions of years, a very long period of evolution.

Galos, however, can shorten this time indefinitely.

The key point is that his evolutionary talent itself is also growing.

"Perhaps one day in the future, I will be able to adapt and evolve in an instant, or even evolve directly in the direction I want."

He thought to himself.

Immediately, Galos, in one go, devoured all the beef from the giant horned barbarian, which weighed many times his own weight.

The tingling sensation on my body became exceptionally strong and intense.

He pressed his advantage, continuing his relentless assault on the mountain and the ground under the bright, blinding sunlight, experiencing both pain and pleasure.
