Defeat the entire world with the power of one dragon!

Chapter 17 Chase
Gulu!

My stomach protested again.

Hunger made Samantha's stomach cramp and spasm, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

It whimpered, lowered its head and nibbled on the unpalatable damp soil. It missed the time under the protection of the Dragon Lady more and more. Even if it was oppressed and bullied by Garros every day, it was still better than the current life of being in danger and eating dirt to fill its stomach.

"Garros, should I ask it to take me in?"

Samantha suddenly remembered what Gallos said when he left.

Although it was reluctant to admit it, it knew very well that Galas was smarter and stronger than it and should live a better life.

"Even if I have to obey Garros's orders completely, that's fine. I don't like to use my brain anyway."

Samantha doesn't want to be displaced anymore.

However, it cannot let go of its inner self-esteem and pride.

"No, no, I am a red dragon, destined to stand at the top of the world. How can I be defeated so easily by the wilderness? I can't let Garros look down on me!"

Samantha gritted her teeth, stood up from the mud and water, and put the idea of ​​following Garros behind her.

"I'm so hungry. I need food, real food, not dirt or bark."

Samantha took a deep breath and walked with heavy steps in the rain.

Hemlock Hills.

After the rain, the sky cleared up and the air was filled with scorching heat again. Moist water vapor rose from the coniferous forest and gathered into iridescent shallow pools in the low-lying areas. Broken fir branches lay in the mud, and amber resin seeped out from the cross-section.

Garros lay on a huge rock on the slope of the hill.

The golden sunlight fell on him, giving his scales a shining luster.

He spread his wings, enjoying the comfort of the sunlight shining on his body, squinting his eyes lazily and not wanting to move.

Given Gallos's diligence and self-discipline, he has relatively little rest time like this, but he also understands the principle of combining work and rest, and that too much is as bad as too little. While pursuing evolution and becoming stronger, he will give himself opportunities to relax in his free time.

The previous heavy rain continued for a week.

in this period.

Because the wilderness is dry all year round and it rarely rains, Garros cherishes the hard-earned rainy days. He uses the dark gold tail ring to train himself again and again in the wind and rain. When the energy is used up, he immediately draws electricity to recharge and then trains again. This cycle repeats over and over again. However, he also keeps in mind the dangers of the wilderness and takes breaks in between to retain his physical strength and prevent himself from falling into a state of excessive fatigue.

And after being washed by heavy rain and tempered by lightning.

Over the past few days, all of Garros's cushioning scales were whipped off by himself, and no new ones have grown yet, revealing a layer of black and red scales full of cracks and dents, pits, potholes, and messy patches, which look like they have experienced fierce battles.

As for the effectiveness.

In addition to an unknown increase in lightning resistance, Garros also felt a slight, tingling sensation like an electric shock in the muscles under his dragon scales and skin.

This is also a sign of gradual adaptation and evolution.

Basking in the sun, Garros's tail hanging outside the rock swayed gently, and he turned sideways to let the sun shine on his belly.

It was not until noon that the sunlight became the strongest and most intense.

Garros did not set out hunting either.

He decided to give himself a day off and let Mobel go hunting for food.

"Take a short nap."

Garros yawned, closed his eyes and continued to bask in the sun, feeling drowsy.

suddenly.

His nose moved, as if he smelled something, and then he opened a pair of black dragon eyes.

——A familiar smell of Garros wafted through the air.

The young red iron dragon propped itself up and looked into the distance.

At the same time, Samantha took one step deep and one step shallow as she ran across the wet and muddy ground in the wilderness. Her already half-broken right dragon wing was wounded even more and had several poisoned feather arrows hanging on it.

It flapped its dragon wings as it ran, trying to fly.

But after trying several times, its broken wings and weak body could not support it to fly into the sky, and it could only run on the ground.

Behind them, dozens of goblin wolf cavalry were chasing closely.

The gray giant wolf's claws stepped through the mud and water, and it walked quickly. The distance between the two sides was gradually shortening.

Samantha gritted her teeth and looked ahead at the hills covered with dense hemlocks, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

"It's almost there. It's almost there."

"I hope Garros is still here. I hope he can forgive my previous ignorance and barbarity."

Even if it meant becoming Garros's follower, lowering her proud head and obeying her brother completely, Samantha accepted it.
Having suffered so much, it has become deeply aware of this.
Dignity cannot allow me to survive in the wilderness. I was too naive before.

In fact, both the Iron Dragon Lady and the Dragon's Heritage mention that it is not easy for a young dragon to survive on its own and that it needs to be extremely cautious. However, arrogance and conceit are born with the dragon veins, and young dragons who have not experienced hardships will always think that they can easily conquer the world.

but.

Dragon Lady and the inherited knowledge cannot be taught.

But, the harsh reality can.

On the first day of the heavy rain, Samantha had the idea of ​​following Gallos, but at that time she was still proud in her heart and was unwilling to admit defeat to the wilderness.

Bathed in the storm.

Samantha tried hunting to replenish her energy with food and heal her injuries.

But it backfired.

Creatures that can survive in the wilderness, whether they are intelligent or wild beasts, have their own set of survival rules. With Samantha's poor hunting skills and weak body, all her hunts ended in failure.

If it weren’t for the fact that dragon life is so tenacious.

If any other creature were to be tortured like this, it would be half dead.

After chewing on bark and dirt for a few more times, Samantha finally realized who she was and decided to follow her strong and wise brother.

Unfortunately.

At the beginning, the goblin tribe Samantha encountered had been searching and chasing, wanting to turn the red dragon into alchemical material. After a period of tracking, a group of goblin wolf cavalry discovered its traces, followed it, and gradually discovered the figure of the dragon.

"We're close enough, archers, get ready!"

Among the goblin cavalry riding on gray giant wolves, several goblin cavalry pulled their ironwood longbows to the limit of the full moon, with arrows engraved with tiny runes and poisoned on the bowstrings.

Whoosh whoosh!
Three feather arrows tore through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, and shot towards Samantha.

Her ears moved, and sensing the danger from behind, Samantha rolled over in panic.

Two feather arrows missed and hit the wet ground, with the arrowheads and tails completely embedded in the dragon. Another arrow was stuck in Samantha's hind leg. The arrow with armor-piercing properties pierced through the dragon scales. The metal arrow shaft was vibrating slightly, making a subtle metallic vibration.

The pain of being stabbed is secondary.

What's worse is that the toxins it carries are corrosive and spreading.

Samantha is too weak now.

If it were in its prime, this little bit of toxin would not have any effect on it.

Samantha felt the last of her strength gradually fading away, her steps became slower and slower, her body felt as heavy as a mountain, and the hemlock hills that were right in front of her seemed to be far away on the horizon.

If given another chance.

Samantha would definitely choose to hold on to her brother's thighs tightly and not let go, instead of being stupid and trying to survive on her own.
