Worms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Si did not return directly to the abyssal territory under Iron Dragon Mother’s protection; instead, he continued circling above the clouds, gazing down at the endless wilderness, hunting demons and ferocious beasts to hone his combat skills while scouting for a suitable territory to claim for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is worth noting here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Demons” is shorthand for magical creatures; as a dragon, Luo Si himself is among the highest-tier demons, while ferocious beasts are violently mutated animals that have evolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demons generally possess innate magical-like abilities and possess relatively high intelligence; ferocious beasts rely primarily on brute physical attributes and have low intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the course of half a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the initial Rock-Shatter Worms, Luo Si hunted a total of five targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Petrifying Lizard, Fire-Breath Crocodile, Red-Eyed Giant Rhinoceros, Dreadclaw Owl-Bear, Giant-Pincer Rock Crab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two demons, three ferocious beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the environment of the Ser Wilds, the dominant lifeforms are primarily earth- and fire-type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including the Rock-Shatter Worms, these six battles and hunts gave Luo Si a clearer understanding of his own capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is currently a Level 7 lifeform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When fighting the Level 6 Dreadclaw Owl-Bear, Luo Si relied on his dragon physique—already inherently powerful and further strengthened by his daily training—and crushed it with a single charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When battling the Level 7 demon Fire-Breath Crocodile, Luo Si’s fire resistance, inherited from his Red Dragon and Iron Dragon bloodlines, absorbed the creature’s scorching flames directly; only faint scorch marks remained on his scales, while his own fire breath turned the Fire-Breath Crocodile into charcoal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of the other demons or ferocious beasts at his level could match him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the thick-skinned Red-Eyed Giant Rhinoceros, struck by Luo Si’s high-speed dive from above, was left half-dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At present, “Great Desert Dragon’s Fall” is Luo Si’s strongest attack technique besides his dragon breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For other young dragons, this suicidal attack method is dangerous—if misjudged, it could severely injure them—but Luo Si, who daily hammers himself against mountains and earth and has evolved a set of shock-absorbing scales, has long mastered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Low-level and same-level opponents are all weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only one to inflict any damage on him was the Level 8 demon Petrifying Lizard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its petrification ray struck Luo Si, turning a small patch of his arm armor scales and the underlying layer of flesh into stone—but that was the entirety of the injury the Petrifying Lizard inflicted on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He estimated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he was only Level 7, he could likely stand his ground even against Level 9 ferocious beasts or demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary dragons can fight above their level, and Luo Si’s adapted physique is among the finest even among dragons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Luo Si does not possess the overbearing arrogance typical of other dragons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless necessary or driven by sufficient incentive, he will not recklessly confront creatures far above his level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his innate dragon traits and adaptive evolution, steady growth alone will make him stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no need to risk himself due to momentary arrogance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From ancient times, when dragons ruled all, arrogance and pride have caused countless dragons to perish before they could grow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back to the matter at hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the ferocious beasts and demons he hunted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Si also discovered several suitable habitats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The good news was, these habitats were either fertile with lush vegetation, or had clear lakes teeming with birds and beasts, or were situated in rugged terrain easy to defend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bad news was, all of them, like the abandoned mine shafts overrun by Rock-Shatter Worms, were already occupied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this wilderness, life was abundant, but suitable habitats were scarce, and nearly all had been claimed by powerful creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The territory Luo Si coveted most was nestled against mountains and beside water, scenic and rich in food resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, it was occupied by a pride of Stinger Lions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The average level of adult Stinger Lions is Level 5.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were a one-on-one knightly duel, Luo Si would let them use both paws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Stinger Lion pride was numerous—roughly thirty, as counted from above—and included a male and female leader, both significantly larger than normal, with appearances suggesting some mutation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He noted the locations of his preferred territories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Si thought that perhaps when he left Iron Dragon Mother’s protection, he could displace the current occupants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sun neared the embrace of the distant mountains and crimson clouds layered across the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young dragon ended his expedition, soaring through the sunset-lit air back to the abyssal territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he had long passed the age of expulsion, Luo Si resided within the abyssal territory but no longer shared the same dragon nest with Iron Dragon Mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he settled on the cliffside where he trained daily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon returning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw Red Dragon Sister and Iron Dragon Brother lazily basking in the sunset’s glow, lying on their backs outside the mine tunnel, eyes half-closed, tails swaying side to side in contentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were both lazy and undisciplined, lacking Luo Si’s self-control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, they believed they had uncovered the secret to Luo Si’s strength and spent their free time imitating him by smashing into mountains and earth, full of enthusiasm and determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first few days, they truly did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both dragons were eager, seizing every opportunity to hammer themselves against land and stone, no longer idling or sleeping as they once had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as time passed, their true nature reasserted itself, and their enthusiasm faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Red Dragon Sister was supposed to train by smashing into a mountain as before, she hesitated, thinking she should balance rest and effort, sleep to replenish her energy, then begin—so she went to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she woke, the sky was already dark; the cool night breeze made her uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reasoned her condition was poor and training would be ineffective, so she decided to wait until morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At dawn, when the air was freshest, Red Dragon Sister instead thought such a perfect morning called for soaring through the sky, savoring the thrill of flight and gazing down upon the earth—and once again abandoned training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several such episodes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She completely lost interest in training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Iron Dragon Brother, he differed from Red Dragon Sister—he never went through her internal struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—He once flew too high and misjudged his angle during a ground strike; his snout collided violently with the earth, leaving him with a crooked mouth and squinting eyes, permanently dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, Iron Dragon Brother also gave up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, though their progress was far less noticeable than Luo Si’s, if they had persisted in using mountains and earth to toughen their bodies, their scales would have grown somewhat harder and their frames more resilient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even under Luo Si’s forced mining labor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a month, their claws and fangs had grown noticeably sharper, and their muscle strength had increased slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary dragons still possess evolutionary abilities far beyond other creatures—just not as visibly efficient as Luo Si’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1176,"2026-06-19T14:21:50.702Z",1,"Qwen3-Next
