Chapter 9: Manticore

After hunting in an abandoned mine and discovering a swarm of rock-crushing worms.

Garros did not return directly to the tiankeng territory under the protection of the Iron Dragon Lady, but continued to circle above the clouds, looking down at the endless wilderness, searching for monsters and ferocious beasts to hone his combat skills, while observing the territory suitable for his future residence and occupation.

It is worth mentioning here.

Monster is the abbreviation of magical creatures. As a dragon, Garros is actually the top monster. As for the ferocious beasts, they are ferocious beasts that have evolved and mutated.

Most monsters possess some innate skills similar to spells, and their IQs are generally high. Ferocious beasts mainly rely on their strong physical attributes to show off their power and have low intelligence.

For most of the day.

In addition to the rock-crushing worm at the beginning, Garros hunted a total of five targets.

Basilisk, Fire-breath Crocodile, Red-eyed Giant Rhino, Terror-clawed Owlbear, Giant Clawed Rock Crab.

Two monsters, three ferocious beasts.

Because the environment of the Ser wilderness is mainly inhabited by earth and fire creatures.

Including the rock-crushing worm, a total of six combat hunts gave Garros a clearer understanding of his own level.

He is now a level 7 life form.

When dealing with a level 6 Terrorclaw Owlbear, Garros relied on the inherent strength of dragons and the physique he had strengthened through day and night training, and killed it with a single charge.

When fighting the Fire Breath Crocodile, a monster of the same level 7, Garros was directly hit by the high-temperature flames he exhaled, even though he inherited the fire resistance from the blood of the red dragon and the iron dragon. However, he only had some traces of smoke and fire on his scales. The fiery dragon breath he exhaled directly turned the Fire Breath Crocodile into charcoal.

Other monsters or ferocious beasts of the same level are no match for Garros.

Even the thick-skinned red-eyed giant rhinoceros was almost half-dead after being hit by Garros falling from a high altitude.

At present, 'Great Wilderness Dragon Fall' is Garros' most powerful attack method besides dragon breath.

For other young dragons, this kind of self-sacrificing attack method is very dangerous. If they don't control it well, they will seriously injure themselves. However, Garros has been working in the mountains and on the ground every day, and has evolved a body of cushioning scales, so he has already mastered it.

Both the lower level and the same level are very weak.

Only the petrified lizard, a level 8 monster higher than Garros, caused him some damage.

Its petrifying ray hit Garros, turning a small area of ​​dragon scales on his arm armor and a layer of flesh underneath into stone, but this was all the damage the petrified lizard left on Garros.

He estimated.

Although I am only level 7, I should be able to face level 9 beasts and monsters without fear.

Ordinary dragons can also fight above their level, and Garros's adaptive and evolved physique is also one of the best among dragons.

However, Garros does not have the overly arrogant and conceited personality of other dragons.

Unless it is necessary and there is sufficient interest to motivate him, he will not rashly deal with creatures that are much higher in level than himself.

With the dragon's own talents and adaptive evolution, he can become stronger if he develops steadily.

There is no need to put yourself in danger because of momentary arrogance and conceit.

The arrogance and conceit left over from ancient times when dragons ruled everything have caused countless dragons to die before they could grow up.

Closer to home.

In addition to hunting ferocious beasts and monsters.

Garros also discovered several suitable habitats for the organisms.

The good news is that these habitats either have fertile soil and lush foliage, or have clear lakes teeming with birds and animals, or have rugged terrain that makes them easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The bad news is that all of them, like abandoned mines overrun by swarms of rock-crushing worms, have owners.

Numerous creatures inhabit this wilderness, but suitable habitats are scarce and often already occupied by powerful creatures. The territory that Garros coveted most was nestled between mountains and water, offering beautiful scenery and abundant food resources.

Unfortunately, it is occupied by a group of manticores.

The average life level of an adult manticore is 5.

If it is a one-on-one fight, a knight-like duel, Garros can use both claws on the opponent.

However, there were quite a few manticores in that group. Counting from a high altitude, there were about thirty of them. Not only were there two leaders, a male and a female, but they were also very large in size. Their appearance was also different from that of normal manticores, as if they had some mutations.

I wrote down the locations of several territories that I liked.

Garros thought that perhaps when he left the protection of the Iron Dragon Lady, he would be strong enough to replace the original lord.

When the sun is about to sink into the embrace of the distant mountains, the sunset glow like fiery clouds is layered and permeates the sky.

The young dragon ended the expedition, flew across the sky under the setting sun, and returned to the tiankeng territory.

Because he had reached the age of being expelled, although Garros lived in the Tiankeng territory, he no longer lived in the same dragon's nest with the Iron Dragon Lady.

He simply settled down on the edge of the cliff where he exercised every day.

Just got back.

He saw Red Dragon Sister and Iron Dragon Brother lazily basking in the afterglow of the sunset, lying outside the mine tunnel with their bellies exposed, resting, their eyes half-closed, their tails swaying left and right behind them, looking very comfortable.

These two dragons are lazy and undisciplined, and do not have the self-discipline of Galax.

At first, they thought they knew the secret of Galaos's strength, so they imitated Galaos in their free time by crashing into mountains and the ground, and they were very excited and full of fighting spirit.

This was indeed the case a few days ago.

The two dragons are full of enthusiasm. They spend time outdoors whenever they have time. Unlike before, when they would just wander around or lie down and take a nap when they have nothing to do.

But as time goes by, their nature is hard to change and their enthusiasm begins to wane.

Not long ago.

In her free time, when the Red Dragon Girl should have done some mountain-climbing exercise like she did the previous times, she hesitated, thinking that she should combine work and rest, take a nap to rest, and start again after replenishing her energy, so she went to sleep.

After waking up, it was a little late, and the cool night breeze made Red Dragon Girl feel a little uncomfortable.

It thought that the exercise would be ineffective if it was not in the right condition, so it decided to start again during the day.

During the day, when the morning light was rising and the air was freshest, Red Dragon Girl felt that with such good air, she should soar in the sky and enjoy the pleasure of flying high in the sky and overlooking the earth, and then she would forget about exercise.

Down several times.

It doesn't want to exercise at all.

As for the Iron Dragon Brother, he is different from the Red Dragon Sister and has not experienced the Red Dragon Sister's mental journey.

——Once it flew too high and failed to adjust the angle properly when approaching the Earth. Its dragon face came into close contact with the Earth and crashed so hard that its mouth and eyes are still crooked, and it looks like it is possessed by a ghost.

After this, Tielongdi also gave up.

In fact, although they are not as effective as Garros and their evolutionary adaptation can be seen with the naked eye, if they can persist in using rocks and the earth to impact and sharpen their bodies, their scales will become harder and their bodies will be tougher.

Even if he was forced to mine by Garros.

After a month, their claws became much sharper than before, and their muscles became a little stronger.

Ordinary dragons actually have evolutionary abilities that far exceed those of other creatures, but they are not as efficient as Garros.
