Once they reach adulthood, they no longer need to worry about hunting. Eating and drinking can restore their health; in layman's terms, it's like a master cultivator reaching the state of abstaining from grains.
Now, Zhong Liuxiu can heal remotely using the dragon's tail. Qin He is finally demonstrating his exceptional combat prowess—
It's time to go back and settle accounts with the Black Dragon team. A gentleman takes revenge, so let's do it right away!
Chapter 365 The reward after finishing this game is a mix of extremes.
Qin He was on his way back to the Golden Dragon King's Castle, hoping to quickly ascend to the rank of a mature dragon by killing black and green dragon tribes. But Tiamat's seductive whispers echoed in Qin He's ears once again.
"Hehe~ Qin He, my good boy. Mom brought the Bite of Nidhogg here for you, which is a big violation on Secret Dragon Island."
So... I'm going to charge you?!
As she spoke, Tiamat used the same spatial magic as Lucia, reaching out to touch the scales on Qin He's back:
"Change back to human form. I know... you've always cared more about your human identity than your dragon side. If you're going to do that kind of thing, of course you have to change back."
It turns out that Tiamat wanted to be the first of Qin He's three adoptive mothers to taste the benefits. However, since Qin He was still on Dragon Island, she wanted him to transform back into human form during his free time so she could exploit him.
Qin He naturally didn't want to do anything with Tiamat remotely through the spatial portal. Because that would deprive him of the visual enjoyment—
"Hmph... Qin He, my child. You're just as greedy as I am~ Well... once you've settled things here at the castle... I'll not only come in to play with you myself, but I'll also make you very comfortable~"
As she spoke, Tiamat began exhaling breaths of fire and ice. She was clearly about to try the most thrilling tricks on Qin He…
The breath attack combines elements of ice and fire, while the acidic breath has a soda-like effect. With Tiamat's control, it can even be used as a substitute for popping candy.
Even her lightning-fast breath could be made into a perfectly tingling sensation in her mouth.
Bahamut and Sadievo blushed and turned pale as they saw Tiamat intending to personally descend upon Dragon Island.
"Qin He, never forget that Secret Dragon Island is a crucial trial. Don't let yourself become addicted to pleasure..."
The beautiful platinum dragon whispered a careful message in Qin He's ear, while Sadew secretly revealed herself and gave Qin He a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Hmm... Qin He, if you find that old hag Tiamat too troublesome, you can come to the Ruby Palace and find me directly~"
Qin He thanked Sadiwo for his kindness, but said that it was more important to deal with the important matters first.
On Dragon Island, the transition from teenage to young adult dragons is affected. Due to the significant energy expenditure required to advance to adulthood, dragons newly entering adulthood experience a considerable period of weakness.
A young dragon in its weakened state is not on the same level as a young dragon in its normal state; the former can be taken down by the latter in just a few moves.
To recover from their weakened state, they need to hunt prey to regain their strength. This will greatly affect Qin He and his companions' combat effectiveness. To prevent the gray dragon from plotting against them, Qin He proposed that they advance in pairs.
In the first group, Zhong Liuxiu and Zhuang Daihua were the first to advance to the youth stage. Qin He, Qin Lan, and Honglong were responsible for guarding and hunting alongside them.
After Zhong Liuxiu and Zhuang Daihua completed their advancement and overcame their weakness through eating, Qin He and Qin Lan began their own advancement.
Fortunately, the gray dragon didn't have any ulterior motives. It simply hunted alongside the red dragon, leaving the prey for Qin He and Qin Lan, who were waiting to recover from their weakened state.
For gray dragons, hunting is actually a very enjoyable activity. They consider killing other living creatures their greatest pastime.
Once Qin He and the others had evolved into adult dragons, it unceremoniously took the prey from the lakeside and ate it itself.
Qin He was somewhat surprised by this. He always maintained a certain level of vigilance towards the red and gray dragons; it would be best if they didn't betray him.
Red dragons—at least the one in front of us named Blazing Feather—have a decent temperament. They don't have the irritable, arrogant, and ferocious characteristics of ordinary red dragons, and are even more considerate than some kind blue dragons.
When you "land" on Dragon Island in the future, you can indeed invite it to join you in building a faction.
Upon arriving at the side gate of the castle, four black dragons slowly crawled out, seemingly looking for prey.
"Let's get the red dragon to adulthood first; it's only missing four heads. We'll be more confident in our attack if we have an adult dragon."
The gray dragon isn't stupid; it knows to give up its head first so the red dragon can advance. As for the mere four kills, it can easily reach that number by simply attacking the black or green dragon it finds.
However, after reaching adulthood, it takes a certain amount of evolution time to gather enough members. During this period, the evolved dragons are similar to that mature amethyst dragon, unable to move.
Once the four black dragons had moved away from the castle, Qin He launched a sudden attack. Protected by a triple aura of burning, freezing, and poison, he overwhelmed the four black dragons with his single-handed assault.
"Who...who are you? How dare you touch us? Don't you have a death wish?!"
The adult black dragon that had spoken was grabbed by the neck and slammed into the ground beneath Qin He's feet. He pulled on its head and rubbed it, creating horrifying furrows.
They were completely toyed with like rag dolls. The other three black dragons didn't dare to move under Qin He's domineering power. One of the black dragons had sharp eyes.
It recognized that the creature before it, wreathed in flames, frost, and venom, was also a black dragon.
"You...you are someone close to Lady Dorgosos? No, as expected of a powerful being who has undergone transformation through research!"
"Our leader, the Black Emperor, will be delighted to welcome you to the fold..."
This clever black dragon mistook Qin He for Dorgosos's "daughter." This is understandable, as there are indeed very few black dragons in the world that can breathe fire and ice.
True hybrid dragons mostly have some kind of dragon feature on their horns, while their scale color and attributes are inherited from the side with the stronger bloodline power.
For example, if the bloodline of a black dragon is mixed with the lineage of red and white dragons, it might eventually give birth to a giant dragon that breathes ice, fire, and acid.
However, the scales of such hybrid dragons would definitely be predominantly red. Their heads might have features such as the horns of a white dragon or the curved horns of a black dragon.
Without the intervention of the Colorful Princess, the fiery dragon, a hybrid of red and blue dragon blood, would have primarily been red-scaled. At most, it would have grown a golden horn, a trait of a blue dragon, to distinguish itself from other pure-blooded dragons.
The legendary "Ebony Reaper" Dorgothos was an ancient black dragon lich who dedicated herself to the study of breath. She replaced magic with breath weapons, enabling her to possess fire and ice breaths.
The sight of Qin He immediately reminded Black Dragon of Dorgosos. If Black Dragon could recruit Qin He into its team, Black Emperor would surely praise it.
The adult black dragon was unaware that its pack had previously driven away an adult red dragon and several other smaller dragons, and now they were in for trouble.
"Oh... Black Emperor? I'm very curious, what kind of person is your leader! Daring to call himself the Black Emperor?"
The title "Black Emperor" is so arrogant, it certainly wasn't given by its mother. In this world, there's no rule that dragons must announce their true names upon hatching from an egg; each young dragon's name is given by its mother.
If there is no mother dragon to raise them, the young dragons must search through their inherited memories to find their own surname and then name themselves.
That's how Qin Lan got her name, and regardless of which of the above situations, Black Emperor couldn't possibly be the real name of a black dragon.
The reason is simple: it's too provocative. There are many rules among chromatic dragons, one of which is that you should give yourself a nickname or name that reflects your abilities.
Titles like Ebony Reaper and Demigod Dragon are not something a minor character can bear.
The title of Dragon Emperor Qin He was personally bestowed upon him by the three Dragon Kings. However, those unaware of this would surely challenge any dragon that dared to claim the title of Dragon Emperor.
This Black Emperor probably only dares to call himself that on Secret Dragon Island. In Qin He's eyes, it's like the bully Zhen Guanxi in front of Lu Zhishen—it's asking for a beating!
Qin He obtained some information from the black dragon's mouth.
That Black Emperor was nothing special; he was neither an anomaly capable of single-handedly killing a Red Dragon, nor a Black Dragon who relied on unorthodox methods.
It only assembled this Black Dragon team because of its family background.
How ridiculous. No matter how powerful your background is, can it be greater than mine, the chosen one of nature, backed by three Dragon Kings?
This means that the world as a whole is relatively peaceful, and some dragons live in clans. This is why there are such arrogant dragons, just like Yan Liu before Qin He corrected her.
"I have no interest. I will break your Black Emperor's neck later and hang his corpse at the main gate of the Golden Dragon King's castle! After your Queen Dragon resurrects you, remember to inform her."
"Just tell them, Dragon Emperor Qin He is coming to slaughter the Emperor!"
He tossed the black dragons aside, and Qin He deliberately spoke the last sentence using telepathy.
After finishing off four adult black dragons, the red dragon began preparing to advance into a mature dragon.
It lay prone in a mine far from the castle, surrounded by terrifyingly hot air currents.
The hard rock that is in direct contact with the body surface is directly melted by the overflowing energy and combined into scorching magma.
The ascension of a dragon in its prime or later years can easily attract the attention of other dragons due to unusual phenomena. In such cases, it is necessary to find a good place to hide and have other dragons guarding it.
“We’ll kill all the adult dragons that come near here. You don’t need to leave me any dragon heads; go and hunt your own prey.”
The gray dragon was only seven kills away from becoming a mature dragon. It planned to let Qin He and the others prioritize their own development.
If the Grey Dragon also advances to its prime, then its special ability to increase damage will be able to bring the destructive power of an old dragon.
Qin He was shrewd enough, but the newly joined gray dragon wasn't stupid either. It knew that if it advanced too quickly, it would easily make the red dragon and Qin He wary of it.
Currently, the Gray Dragon's adult form, combined with its special abilities, grants it the melee damage of a mature dragon. This is more than enough to secure it a place in a team...
If it goes any further without realizing it, it might become a thorn in the side of both Honglong and Qin He.
With limited resources and too many monks for porridge, the black and green dragons were lucky if each could kill two adult dragons in such a short time. This was a common problem for group operations.
Due to the team battle, both main dragons were protected separately. Although they had no worries about food and drink, they did not have the potential to evolve into mature dragons.
If the Mother Dragon doesn't advance, she won't be able to use Dragon Coins to empower team members.
A mature dragon team should use the team's Mystic Coins to directly upgrade all adult dragons to their prime, skipping the kill count stage.
Then, this group of strong, young dragon soldiers can go around taking on quests to eliminate monsters.
Or it could be to start a team battle, wipe out the other dragon teams, and obtain the team wipe reward.
Regardless of the method, it guarantees points accumulation and sustainable development.
This team, composed of adult dragons, is essentially just a sapling just starting out. Faced with Qin He, they can only wait to be uprooted.
……
Zhuang Daihua was already a beautiful adult purple dragon. Her bright purple scales were as beautiful as blooming violets, and her four claws and wings had a hazy night black color.
Zhuang Daihua's dragon-like posture is very captivating. Whether it is the silver dragon, which is known for its beauty, or the even rarer and more beautiful dragon species, the Song Dragon, they may not be as eye-catching as her.
Compared to Qin He, who looks intimidating, she is a symbol of power, mystery, and beauty.
"You big dummy, stop staring! Dai Dai is getting embarrassed by your staring!"
Zhong Liuxiu's incredibly soft and smooth tail hammer swept directly towards Qin He's face, and the soft, heavy blow, like being assaulted on the chest, immediately engulfed Qin He's head.
Qin Hecai realized that his gaze, which had been admiring the beautiful female dragon's physique, was indeed somewhat fiery.
"I'm sorry, Miss Zhuang... I lost my composure."
"Ah...! No, it's okay..."
Utterly embarrassed, Zhuang Daihua wished she could immediately transform back into human form. Yet, she feared that her appearance, bearing the features of a purple dragon, would once again attract Qin He's attention.
Immediately, Zhong Liuxiu transmitted her voice sweetly:
"In front of Dai Dai...you should tone it down a little, shouldn't you? It's not that I'm not allowed to look...ugh! Anyway, you're just bad! I'll bite you first!"
Even just looking at the part other than the tail, Zhong Liuxiu is equally breathtakingly beautiful. Her slender neck and smooth, jade-like black dragon scales are different from black jade, presenting a very alluring latex-like texture.
I wonder if this girl is deliberately growing up in a way that will evoke his imagination.
Zhong Liuxiu now looks like she has a layer of smooth, dragon-scale patterned socks over her tail, making him want to give her a good squeeze.
With a loud gulp, Zhong Liuxiu lunged forward and bit Qin He's neck. Several conspicuous sparks flew as she scraped across the scales on his neck.
Seeing Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu so intimate, Zhuang Daihua covered her face with her wings, too embarrassed to continue watching.
Looking at Qin Lan, she had fully grown up, possessing the gleaming iron scales of an adult iron dragon. Bathed in the sunlight, they shimmered beautifully.
The shark-like backplate that grows along the spine is small and cute, and the relatively slender but equally smooth dragon tail sways from side to side.
I don't understand what Zhong Liuxiu is doing. Maybe she's expressing that she likes Qin He?
Qin Lan, who had just entered adolescence, was as pure as a blank sheet of paper. She slipped up to Qin He and tried to gently bite his neck to show affection.
"Hehe~ Your Highness Qin He... likes it!"
All the difficulties encountered so far are no problem with Qin He around. In addition, the Iron Dragon is a dragon species born with the ideal of establishing order among the dragon race, which coincides with Qin He's identity as the Dragon Emperor.
Qin Lan raised her dragon tail high, the tip slightly upturned. She rubbed against Qin He, her smooth, brand-new iron scales rustling softly.
The ecological habits of dragons can be compared to those of large felines to some extent. This situation suggests that she feels quite at ease staying by Qin He's side.
Seeing Qin He with women on either side, Zhuang Daihua hesitated for a moment before burying her face in Qin He's chest without thinking twice.
When communicating via telepathy, Zhuang Daihua did her best to restrain herself from making any embarrassing sounds.
This was the first time she had ever communicated with a man like this, or relied on someone like this.
"Qin He... I never imagined that our first official meeting would be in this kind of place that's neither purely frivolous nor purely adventurous~"
“I want to spend more time with you. You are really amazing... Even without the authority of the Dragon Emperor, you can still reach the position of the supreme god.”
Zhuang Daihua raised her head:
"Let's go and beat those black dragons to a pulp! Whether it's wiping them out for Dragon Coins or subduing a few and recruiting them as subordinates, it's all good. I'll do my best!"
When Zhuang Daihua first fought in her Purple Dragon form, she was indeed a bit clumsy.
Normal people would find it difficult to adapt to suddenly becoming a six-limbed creature with wings on its back, and she was no exception.
At first, Zhuang Daihua could only stand there as a breath launcher. But now, she has gradually mastered Shiryu's physical abilities and can use various skills flexibly in battle.
Unexpectedly, the girl's tone shifted to this unexpected point. Qin He returned the smile:
