This Giant Dragon is So Powerful!-Chapter 44 - 43: Power Development

Udi had found the lair of the Wild Dwarves, but he had no intention of attacking immediately.

Because the opponent’s strength was still a mystery.

According to the intelligence brought back by Shiji, the individual strength of the fifty or so warriors of the opponent who went out this time was around Level 3-4, and the leader of this troop rode a Triangular Dragon, which should be the Sub-dragon Knight profession that has been passed down among the Wild Dwarves. The leader’s strength was definitely at the level of a Mid-level Professional.

If this was the core combat force of the Wild Dwarves Clan, even without Udi’s intervention, the Dragon Descendants under his command could solve it.

However, it was obvious that this speculation was unreasonable. Since even the Wild Dwarves Sub-dragon Knight had come out, it proved that this Wild Dwarf Clan still had a relatively complete heritage.

Heritage represents time, history, and foundation.

"However, the population of this Wild Dwarf Clan should not be too large, otherwise, with the Black Blood Valley only a few dozen kilometers away, it wouldn’t have taken so long to discover them," Udi mused.

But Udi quickly overturned this guess.

"This speculation is too hasty. If the cave passage to the opponent’s lair leads to a valley with extremely rich resources and vast area, then hiding thousands or tens of thousands of Wild Dwarves would be easy."

There’s no way not to be cautious; the highest mortality rate in the Dragon’s Legacy is during the adolescent and youth stages of a Black Dragon. Take the Tal Material Plane where Udi was born, for example. Throughout the Plane, at least double digits of dragons of this age group die each year.

The reason is quite simple. At this stage, Black Dragons no longer have the protection of the Dragon Mother, and their body size is no longer small like Juvenile Dragons, which can still hide and grow. The amount of food a Black Dragon requires at this stage is no small figure.

Needing food naturally requires contact with the outside world, be it through massive hunting or gathering followers to establish territory. The possibility of exposure increases significantly. However, at this stage, Black Dragons aren’t particularly strong, so once their whereabouts are leaked, many greedy hunters will be attracted.

Not only humans want to become Dragon Slayers; aside from the Good Faction, the vast majority of intelligent creatures are eager to slay a Giant Dragon.

From head to tail, dragons are excellent magic materials.

It’s only when they reach adulthood that the mortality rate of Black Dragons significantly decreases. After all, the biological level of adult Black Dragons reaches above Level 15. Even if they don’t learn other professions, just by relying on their Dragon Body, Dragon Breath, and awakened magic-like skills, it would be challenging for even three or four Master-level Professionals of the same level to slay a dragon successfully.

If this Black Dragon has learned other professions, the difficulty of dragon slaying becomes even greater.

Therefore, only those of Legendary Level can claim to have the absolute strength to slay an adult Black Dragon, or at least a very strong Master-level Professional could do so.

Udi stopped pondering and summoned his three contracted Dragon Descendants via spiritual connection.

A moment later, Shiji, Kaldan, and Mondo arrived at the edge of the waterfall pool.

Suddenly, the pool trembled, and a muscular, visually powerful Black Dragon shot out of the water like an arrow.

Water splashed off the Black Dragon’s body, flowing down.

With a bang, the Black Dragon landed in front of the three, overlooking them. Its cold and indifferent dark yellow slit pupils scanned over them slowly.

A black light flashed, and the spell-like ability Identification Skill was used by him.

Black Blood Tribe Chief, Kobold ’Shiji Black Blood’, Biological Level Tier Five High, height increased from two meters a while back to two point two meters now.

Green Forest Tribe Chief, Goblin High Priest ’Kaldan Green Forest’, Biological Level Tier Four High, Mage Professional Level Tier Six Initial, height increased from one point six meters a while back to one point eight meters now, skin taut and full, muscles bulging everywhere.

The eighty-centimeter-long magic staff in his hand paired with such a stature appeared somewhat peculiar.

Udi felt that Kaldan wielding a two-meter-long giant iron hammer would be more suitable than this small stick.

Finally, Udi’s gaze settled on Mondo. His dragon brow slightly raised, and a hint of surprise flashed in the enormous dragon eyes.

Mondo’s biological level had now increased to Tier Six Initial, higher than Shiji’s.

But this didn’t surprise Udi, as the Giant Demon’s foundation was inherently stronger than the Kobold’s. Moreover, Mondo was a somewhat gifted Giant Demon.

The surprising aspect for Udi was the way Mondo’s height had skyrocketed as if it had been on growth hormones.

Initially, Mondo’s height was four meters, which was already quite excellent among the Giant Demons. After being granted the Power of the Dragon Vein by Udi, his height increased to four point two meters in two to three months.

Now, after more than half a year, Mondo has grown to four point seven meters tall.

It might not sound significant, but just imagine a standard floor height of only three point two meters. A four point seven-meter muscular giant standing in front of a building, with a human on the second floor staring into its eyes, gives an idea of how terrifying this height is. A tiger at its feet would look no more menacing than a docile cat.

"Is it an atavistic bloodline, or does the Feast Talent effect manifest more prominently in the Giant Demon race?" Udi speculated silently.

The Feast Talent, besides enhancing the physical body, also allows the body to continue growing larger. This was the main reason Udi, at just over two years old, had grown from over two meters long to his current length of over nine meters.

Regardless, it was good news.

At the same biological level, a three-meter physique unquestionably can’t match a four-meter one.

It’s like comparing ordinary, elite, and boss templates in games.

Applying it to reality, humans are ordinary templates, dragons are boss templates, and Mondo, at present, might barely be considered an elite template.

Mondo, being closely observed by his master, scratched his massive head, feeling a bit bashful.

This interruption broke Udi’s train of thought. He turned his gaze to Shiji and asked,

"Haven’t checked on the tribe’s development in a while, Shiji. Report to me."

Shiji nodded respectfully, organized his thoughts briefly, and began speaking, "Master, I’ll start with the Black Blood Tribe. The current population of the Black Blood Tribe has reached one thousand one hundred fifty-two, among which there are four hundred twenty adult Kobold Warriors. Of these, three hundred two are Tier One Kobold Warriors, seventy-three are Tier Two, forty-three are Tier Three, and two are Tier Four."

The Green Forest Tribe’s population has reached over three thousand two hundred, with over one thousand three hundred adult Goblin Warriors, including over eight hundred Tier One Goblin Warriors, three hundred Tier Two, one hundred sixty-two Tier Three, and thirty-nine Tier Four. Among the thirty-nine Tier Four Goblin Warriors, seven Big Goblin Warriors are not far from Tier Five....

Lastly, the Giant Demon race, with Zameng Zaku entering Level 5 not long ago. Additionally, over the past half year, more than a dozen outsider Giant Demons have sought refuge under Mondo. Their strength is generally at Level 4 now."
