A Dragon against the Whole World
Chapter 279 - 251: The Escaping Five-Colored Dragon Whelps
On the Fertile Plain, heavy snow was falling, gradually covering the dirt of the Abyss.
After finishing her theory.
White Dragon Trish suddenly changed her tone and said, "Galos, Dragon Valley has treated me well, merely guarding the Abyssal Rift is not sufficient to repay Dragon Valley’s kindness, nor to repay your generosity."
Under Galos’s gaze.
She continued earnestly, "I know Dragon Valley is planning to take in more of the Dragon Race, but most of those who can be taken in are likely small Evil Dragons, unruly in nature, hard to be disciplined."
"The dragon cubs definitely look down on non-dragon creatures, and the other dragons wouldn’t want to mingle with the foolish little dragons."
At this point, the White Dragon raised her head, tightened her tail, and said in a resolute tone, "When the time comes, I am willing to take on the duty of nurturing and caring for them!"
Galos was silent for a few seconds, then said softly:
"You intend to mix in with the young dragon group, to demonstrate your niche theory, and insult them for your own amusement."
Exposed!
The White Dragon was shocked at first, but quickly calmed down, openly admitting, "That’s indeed the case."
She said, "We all grew from the period of young dragons, knowing how unruly those little dragons’ characters can be, each as weak as ants yet with ambitions sky-high, surviving purely by luck."
She spoke solemnly, "Only by harshly insulting and urging them can they recognize the harshness of reality, realize their true situation, and grow better!"
This indeed has some truth to it.
Galos scrutinized the White Dragon and asked, "Aren’t you afraid they’ll seek revenge on you once they grow up?"
The White Dragon casually shook her head, saying, "With nearly two hundred years of age difference, the weak dragon race cannot surpass me."
"And the strong ones will grow up sooner or later, surpassing me and repeatedly humiliating me like Samantha. Hehe, since the fate of being humiliated cannot be avoided, why not viciously insult them before they grow up."
"As for the subsequent revenge, it’s nothing but a top-down strike and insult. I’m already used to it and couldn’t care less, can completely ignore them."
Trish.... you’re invincible.
After listening to her thoughts, Galos was momentarily speechless, unable to respond.
This guy has already formed a self-consistent logic, living in her own world.
If that’s the case, so be it.
When the time comes, the task of training young dragons will be entrusted to her. Besides White Dragon Trish, few others would care as much. But still, some rules must be established so she doesn’t act recklessly.
Promptly, Galos returned to Dragon Valley.
Snow flew everywhere, and Dragon Valley transformed into a scene of white snow, covered in a layer of silver, with thick ice crystals forming on the lake surface, and crystalline frost hanging between tree branches.
Red Silver Dragon Deborah was sitting in the middle of the ice lake.
She opened a hole on the ice surface, extending her tail into it, patiently waiting for something.
Before long, Red Silver Dragon suddenly brightened her gaze and quickly pulled out her tail.
At the tip of her tail, a big fish tightly bit on and was pulled up without having a chance to let go, tossed into the air, and then devoured by Red Silver Dragon as she extended her neck to gulp it.
"Delicious!"
The dragon showed a delighted expression, Red Silver Dragon continued to fish with her tail.
"Deborah, you could easily catch hundreds of fishes with magic."
"Why waste time like this?"
Galos walked leisurely on the lake surface, his body heavy and strong but didn’t crack the ice, the Martial Dragon has a high degree of body control, such actions were no challenge to him.
"Boring Evil Dragon."
"Fish caught by oneself and fish caught by magic offer different sensations."
Red Silver Dragon said, "When I was young in the Boiling Sea Dragon Domain, there was a tail fishing contest held among the Metallic Young Dragons, and among hundreds of participating young dragons, I ranked top ten!"
Hearing these words.
Galos could only sigh at the great discrepancy among dragons.
While he trained day and night for survival, battering himself with injuries, the Metallic Young Dragons had leisure to hold tail fishing competitions.
Still, his training paid off.
At least, when encountering a same-aged Metal Dragon with conflict, inevitably it ends with them being beaten till they’re searching for their teeth on the ground, weeping and rushing home to complain.
"Join me in fishing."
Red Silver Dragon invited Galos.
Childish game!
Red Iron Dragon dismissed, turning to walk towards the area where Overweight Item was, ready to refine his physique.
"I’ll give you a bottle of Fierce Dragon Potion, join me."
After spending some time together, Red Silver Dragon was well aware of the Evil Dragon’s nature, throwing out bait.
Red Iron Dragon halted his pace.
Thinking it over, occasionally playing games, combining work and rest, is beneficial for mental and physical relaxation.
"Deal!"
Galos stepped towards the center of the ice lake.
As for the Fierce Dragon Potion, it’s a potion created by Silver Dragon Adri with powder made from his shed Dragon Scales, using Secret Technique, able to substantially enhance the Strength Attribute of the Dragon Race in a short time.
From Galos’s inquiries and Deborah’s words, he understood Silver Dragon’s career path.
Ice Magic Dragon, Alchemist, Magic Potion Master.
So-called Ice Magic, refers to an Ice Element Mage, who specializes in manipulating and controlling ice elemental energy. A dragon mastering this path is called an Ice Magic Dragon, a genuine Caster, building Magic through knowledge and wisdom, not bloodline.
Adri primarily follows the Ice Magic path, with secondary focus as an Alchemist and Magic Potion Master.
His specific career level is unknown, but given his age and Silver Dragon’s magical talents, it definitely wouldn’t be low.
"Let’s have a tail fishing contest, if you win, I’ll give you another Fierce Dragon Potion, if you lose, you’ll give me a gemstone."
"Whoever catches the most in ten minutes wins, no magic or magic-like skills allowed, only tails."
Red Silver Dragon made a suggestion.
"Alright."
Galos thrust his dragon tail, directly breaking the ice surface, submerging it into the water.
"I’m joining! Bet a little gemstone!"
Elf Dragon Vera flew over, breaking the frozen lake surface, nearly submerging half her body.
At the same time, seeing Red Iron Dragon not using tail piercing bait, Deborah didn’t remind him, and seeing the Elf Dragon smaller than a fish, she felt confident she’d win.
Soon after, due to increased oxygen concentration at the ice break, lake fish began to gather.
Feeling the subtle ripples in the lake water, Galos’ gaze flashed, but he didn’t act rashly, merely closing his eyes and waiting quietly. Meanwhile, Red Silver Dragon, with skilled fishing techniques, occasionally caught fish with her tail, while Galos caught nothing.
Slowly, time approached nine minutes.
"Ah!"
Elf Dragon Vera screamed, swallowed by a leaping big fish, then flew out from the mouth of the illusioned fish, reeking of fish smell.
Elf Dragon failed and was nearly eaten by a fish.
At this moment, Galos still hadn’t caught a fish, while Red Silver Dragon patted her wings, her expression already showing the joy of a winner.
"Clumsy Evil Dragon, admit defeat."
Just then, feeling the ripple count around him increase to a certain level, Galos suddenly opened his eyes.
Mastery of Tail Strike! Dragon Tail Piercing!
Dragon Scales on tail tip converged into a spear-like form, tearing through the lake water, directly piercing the body of nearby big fish.
Stab, stab, stab!
His tail speed was as fast as lightning, the gathering fish hadn’t reacted yet, being pierced through one after another, flung out of the lake.
Galos, this guy even used martial techniques for fishing.
Such unscrupulous style made Red Silver Dragon widen her eyes, angrily saying, "Cheating, Galos, you cheat."
Red Iron Dragon blinked, saying, "A bet is a bet, my approach is entirely according to our earlier agreement, no other tricky methods, only using the tail."
Red Silver Dragon snorted a few times, finally unwillingly taking out the potion.
"Cunning Evil Dragon."
"Let’s continue, adding a rule, no using martial techniques!"
She said, unwilling to accept defeat.
Galos nodded, agreeing.
Back in the Celestial Pit Territory days, the meals Iron Dragon Lady provided made the young dragons never go hungry, though they weren’t very filling either, so Galos often used his tail to fish, not for a game but for a full stomach, his skills in this regard weren’t weak. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Meanwhile.
While Galos and Red Silver Dragon continued their tail fishing competition.
West of Sel Wilderness, Boiling Sea, Cliff Strait.
Dark clouds rolled, waves surged, countless lightning and storms clashed in the sky, roaring, amidst the sky and cloud storms, could vaguely be seen dragons and giants in fierce battle.
The air’s sense of danger made young dragons’ scales slightly stand, tense and uneasy.
Surrounded by monster corpses, young Blue Dragon Heryam panted heavily, gently licking the blood on his claws.
"The family and Storm Giants’ war is reaching its peak, young dragons are nearly extinct, even us young dragons are sent to the battlefield to fight giant followers, survival is uncertain."
He said calmly, voice without resentment, as if recounting facts.
In the Blue Dragon community, young dragons’ status is only slightly above followers.
Only adult dragons have say.
Dragons below adulthood, regardless of family lineage, or those taken or picked up, must pay for the family without return, oppressed until adulthood, then they become upper ranks, oppressing other young dragons, repeating endlessly.
But this also has downsides.
If circumstances are too dangerous, if oppression is too severe, young dragons will consider escaping the family.
Like now.
Great dragons fight atop the clouds for dominance, while their value, even in death, is just consumable.
"Continuing to stay in the family, oppressed by great dragons, we only have a path to death."
After a pause, young Blue Dragon’s eyes flashed decisively.
He said forcefully, "With great dragons battling Storm Giants, it’s our best chance to escape family control."
Red, blue, green, black, white... around were five-colored young dragons looking at each other.
After a few seconds, they finally all flapped wings in agreement.
No Evil Dragon wishes to be eternally oppressed, especially now with life at risk, escaping family is the best choice.
"Kahill? What about you?"
Young Blue Dragon looked to the right.
There was a female Red Dragon, fairly matched in size with him, covered in broken scales and blood, also in youth, slightly weaker than him among these young dragons, who hadn’t responded.
"Heh, family rules have long made me sick."
After a few seconds of silence, Red Dragon Kahill said, agreeing to escape family.
"Heryam, where should we go?"
The bony, savage-looking Black Young Dragon, with black scales all over, in a hoarse voice asked, voice raspy.
"I’ve heard great dragons say, the Federation is facing internal chaos, our Dragon Race’s rise is imminent."
"North of Sel Wilderness is abundant in minerals and biological resources, vast and wide."
Young Blue Dragon looked towards Sel Wilderness’s direction: "Here will be the place our dragons thrive!"
Next, seven dragon shadows soared in the rain, swiftly leaving Cliff Strait, flying towards Sel Wilderness.
