Chapter 72 Correct and Incorrect Uses of Scale Powder
Samantha descended from the sky in a spiral.
It held a muscular, bull-like beast in its claws and slammed it to the ground.
“My dear brother, I feel you’re about to wake up. You’ve been hunting ahead of time, so you must be very hungry. Have something to eat first.”
Samantha said.
So thoughtful? Galos glanced at the red dragon in surprise.
This was not the Samantha he remembered.
In fact.
These past few days, while Garos was resting to recover from his injuries, Samantha circled and surveyed the skies, seeing far too many powerful and ferocious beasts and monsters that she couldn't handle. Her mind remained tense and unable to relax.
When Garros was around, it didn't feel anything unusual. It could just focus on its alchemy research, play with ants, and do whatever Garros asked it to do. Its days were peaceful and easy, almost no different from when it was under the protection of the Iron Dragon Girl.
It was only when Galos temporarily stepped back from the limelight that it truly realized Galos's reliability and the sense of security it provided.
After devouring the bison, Garus was still not satisfied; the hunger in his stomach remained.
"Unfortunately, there's no black oil left."
"Or we could have a can after we wake up from our deep sleep, so we don't have to be starving and pale."
Since the source of the black oil was gone, Garus has been missing its taste terribly.
This stuff isn't addictive, but its benefits to Galos are hard for Galos to ignore.
"Ideally, we could get a channel, a channel that can reliably obtain black oil."
Galos thought to himself.
Since things have come to this, let's have some fairy dragon scale powder to cheer ourselves up.
In terms of mental stimulation and enhancement, Fairy Scale Powder is more effective than Black Oil.
Galos turned to look at the fairy dragon Vera and beckoned to her with his paw.
Since it wasn't the first time, the fairy dragon Vera understood Garos's meaning perfectly. She flew above Garos, flapped her butterfly-like wings, and her scales fell in a flurry, which Garos swallowed whole with a single gulp.
Buzz!
In an instant, it felt as if a warm current rushed from the top of my head straight to my tailbone.
The world in Galus's eyes became clearer, turning into a warm hue. His perception was magnified more than twice as much, and he felt invigorated, with his thoughts flowing without any hindrance.
Galus was very self-aware.
Whether it's the Iron Dragon or the Red Dragon.
The impression they give to other people or other dragons is not primarily based on intelligence.
That is indeed the case.
Galos knew that as a red-iron hybrid, his intelligence was mediocre, not particularly high, but not low either.
Terms like "almost supernaturally intelligent" and "highly intelligent" don't apply to him. His greatest advantage, besides his talent for adapting to evolution, lies in his ability to control his desires and negative emotions.
However, after using Fairy Scale Powder.
Because of the rapid processing of his thoughts and the clarity of his mind, Galos couldn't help but have a feeling about some of the small details that he had overlooked.
—I am extremely smart now.
"I should wait until the research references the steam burst of the cliff serpent dragon before using fairy scale powder."
"Fairy scale powder should be used to enhance strategic thinking and perception during combat, to explore inherited spells in one's bloodline, or to begin learning professional knowledge."
"Using fairy scale powder just for a momentary mental boost is an extremely wasteful act."
The incredibly intelligent Garus was thinking rapidly, his dragon eyes gleaming with wisdom.
"Vera, give me some more scale powder."
He said.
The fairy dragon blinked and continued to flap its wings, shaking off more scales.
Garos did not use the scale powder directly. He stored it away, hiding it close to his body in the crevices of his scale armor, so that he could use it immediately when needed, without the fairy dragon having to be by his side.
A moment later, Garus spread its wings and soared into the sky to hunt for food.
"Little one, let me taste your scale powder too."
After Garros left, Samantha, also curious about the taste of the fairy dragon scale powder, said...
"No, I am Garus's servant. I cannot make decisions without his permission."
The fairy dragon shook its head and refused.
Why does that tone sound a little arrogant?
Samantha casually approached, and then, taking advantage of the fairy dragon's inattention, she swished out her tongue and licked the fairy dragon's wing.
"Hey! What are you doing!"
The fairy dragon, covered in wet red dragon saliva, retreated to a distance.
It was no longer afraid; it knew Samantha wouldn't eat it.
On the other side, after Samantha licked a mouthful of fairy scale powder, she became excited, her mind raced, and she felt like she had become smarter.
But it did not take the opportunity to learn alchemy.
It quickly arrived at an anthill, conjuring up a rich story of the 'Red Dragon Queen' in its mind. Due to its highly sensitive mind, the fantasy almost turned into a hallucination, and then it began to tease the ants.
"O giant ants of destruction, awakened from ancient times, how dare you invade the territory of the great Red Dragon Queen!"
"Hehehe, things are getting interesting."
"You're the King of the Destruction Ants? Don't you realize the difference in strength? Prepare to face my dragon flames!"
Samantha was intoxicated and immersed in her hallucinations.
The fairy dragon flew around Samantha, quickly understood her game, connected with her brainwaves, and then enthusiastically joined in.
at the same time.
Galus flapped its wings and soared through the sky, its sharp gaze sweeping over the earth.
After a few days of rest.
The scales on his body had grown back. These dragon scales were easy to fall off, but they also grew very quickly. Before the growth rate increased, the reddish-brown color was not noticeable, and the scales were mainly blackish-gray, which was not conspicuous against the grayish-blue sky of the wilderness.
Unless it is a creature with exceptionally keen senses.
Otherwise, one would rarely notice a red iron dragon soaring overhead.
Under the blazing sun of the wilderness, a group of steel-maned thorny beasts were rolling around in a muddy puddle in a forest.
This is a ferocious beast that resembles a wild boar in appearance but is much larger than an ordinary wild boar. It stands two meters tall at the shoulder and is nearly seven meters long. Its thick, metallic bristles can cushion attacks and can also be launched like arrows. Its skin is covered with armor formed from hardened tree resin and mud, making it extremely defensive.
In the surrounding area, this group of thorny beasts was the sole overlord.
They travel in large groups, and when they charge, other ferocious beasts and monsters have to give way.
therefore.
They were having a great time, relaxing, rolling around in the mud, and playfully nudging each other.
Until a heart-wrenching scream rang out.
When Garus flaps its wings at high speed, the feather-like scales on its wing membranes guide the airflow, producing a terrifying shriek like the arrival of death. The sound alone is enough to terrify most creatures.
The Thorn Beast is no exception.
These 'overlords' were frightened by Garus's dragon might and scattered, trying to escape.
But it was too late.
The shriek meant that Galos was speeding at full speed.
Whoosh! He swooped down, his sharp claws gripping the back of a huge thorn beast. The hard armor was like a brittle walnut under his dragon claws, crumbling with a single blow.
Its heavy body pressed down, and then it slammed its claw down on the Steelmane Thorn Beast's head.
The immense force caused the skull to crack.
The thorny beast trembled and its body went limp.
This level 7 ferocious beast was instantly killed by Garos.
Instead of eating in place, Galos carried the heavy Thorn Beast and flew into the sky again. After a while, the other Thorn Beasts gathered together again and did not flee from this place.
It's just the loss of one member.
That's not enough to make them choose to relocate their territory.
Herds of thorny beasts like this are centered around the Conifer Valley, with many others distributed around it, such as the Thunderhorn Sheep, the Heavy Armored Rhinoceros, and the Earth Crocodile, all of which are good food sources.
When Garus hunts, he doesn't just focus on one target at a time, but rather he hunts continuously, rotating between them.
On the one hand, it allows him to change his taste.
More importantly, on the other hand, it is for the sake of sustainable development, to prevent these herds from escaping to too far away.
The Thorn Beast was a good prey, with plenty of meat, and this meal finally calmed Galos's hunger.
