Your dragon wings are so big, long, and strong~ You must be able to fly now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Female Dragon looked on with envy, feeling this brother was quite impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not only can Land fly, but we should also be able to!\" Xiao Black Dragon Ed added from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let’s try! Let’s see who can fly first!\" Xiao Female Dragon suddenly became interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon life, six years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first three years were too young, and their dragon wings weren’t fully developed, unable to support their dreams of flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, three years later, they had become young dragons and should have developed well enough to attempt learning to fly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only dragons that can fly can be considered giant dragons; those that can’t are called earth dragons!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright! Let’s try then! If you learn before me, I’ll reward each of you with a copper coin! Hahaha! Work hard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land was in high spirits, gently waving his dragon wings, stirring up a whirlwind in place, flattening the weeds on the ground like a tank had passed over them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it! Cheapskate! You didn’t have to add that last part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two little dragons listened to Land’s words, feeling somewhat disdainful but still pretending to be very happy:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? Thank you so much, Land! You truly are our big brother, no other dragon is as generous as you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha! I’m the big brother after all, it’s only right to spoil you a bit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land was very satisfied with the obedience of the two dragons, laughing heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let’s begin! Our flying competition!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Land spoke, he rushed forward because, for the first time, he needed a running start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the memories from Dragon’s Legacy, he desperately flapped his wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grass on the ground within hundreds of meters was suppressed by the powerful wind pressure, even as the two little dragons behind him tried to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they were somewhat affected, and their speed inevitably slowed down! They couldn’t take off in such conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too sneaky, Land!\" the two little dragons shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha! I’m an evil dragon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land wasn’t upset. As a Five-Colored Dragon, being called an evil dragon was usually a compliment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kicked his back legs hard, leaping forward, while the dragon wings behind him increased their flapping intensity instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giant dragons are magical creatures; they don’t rely solely on physical strength for flight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They possess unique basal blood vessels attached to their hearts, imbuing their circulating blood with magic power throughout the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they want to fly, they instinctively produce some unusual powers to assist their flight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, for a dragon trying to fly for the first time, succeeding immediately was difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wobbling, Land barely rose thirty to forty meters off the ground before being swept by a stream of air, plummeting towards the earth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being struck by a heavy object of thirty tons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire ground shook a few times, causing the two young dragons about to take off to directly fall down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They glared angrily at Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they saw Land stand up again as if nothing had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground had sunk about ten centimeters on average from this hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle part had even formed an exaggerated pit, sinking thirty to forty centimeters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine cracks radiated outwards like a spider web.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the two little dragons immediately shut their mouths obediently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better not to speak—if this fool tries to fly again and accidentally lands on them, they might get crushed into meat pies!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would nail them to the pillar of shame for giant dragons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, the first time is always a bit challenging.\" Land shook his head; he felt no pain from the fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder, falling from just thirty to forty meters was nothing for the thick-skinned giant dragons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if it were high enough?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would he die from the fall?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart skipped a beat, but he soon smiled and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jokingly, there’s no way a dragon could die from falling while flying in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would definitely be etched into every dragon’s memory, becoming an eternal joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no mention of it in Dragon’s Legacy, so it must not exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land didn’t take this sudden thought seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land raced forward again, then jumped, flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After one fall, two falls, and three falls, he seemed to grasp the knack of flying, though still a bit wobbly, but he kept flying forward and higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distance from the ground slowly increased from tens of meters to hundreds, and finally over a thousand meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything on the ground shrank as he ascended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This brought Land a deep sense of satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind howled around him, everything underfoot seemed as insignificant as ants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All creatures should gaze up at his greatness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, this is the feeling!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the posture a giant dragon should have!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah-woo!\" Land let out a joyful roar; countless air currents washed over his body, and he started playing around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flying upward at one moment, diving downward the next, his speed increasing, even breaking through a hundred kilometers per hour!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On his flight path, sparks flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky exhibited a thousand-meter-long red trail of fire embers, glittering, beautifully dreamlike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasional humans on the ground looked up thinking they’d seen an auspicious sign, smiling and closing their eyes to pray to the gods for good fortune this year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the ground, the two little dragons failed several attempts to fly before suddenly noticing Land flying farther and farther away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, they envied Land’s talent ability, but when he completely disappeared for nearly half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two young dragons started feeling uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ed! Why do I feel something’s wrong? Why hasn’t Land returned?\" Xiao Female Dragon looked anxiously at the sky where Land had flown away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her long tail thumped the ground repeatedly, making slapping sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Black Dragon Ed blinked and spoke casually, \"The first flight is inevitably exciting, even for Land, it seems no different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, that’s true.\" Xiao Female Dragon realized, then also showed a nonchalant expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time slowly passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two young dragons tried flying again several times, all ending in failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, they had to temporarily give up, waiting in place until the sun hanging high slowly set...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two young dragons finally couldn’t help but panic!\u003C\u002Fp>",1211,"2026-06-06T02:00:51.555Z",1,"novelbin.me","b1101ac66ae242b3cc93033f3e8883829e9cad75c5bf2229494c8ed1b176d9b0","dragon-of-catastrophe-chapter-27","dragon-of-catastrophe-chapter-25",673,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdragon-of-catastrophe-cover.jpg"]
