There was a kilometer distance between them, which was not particularly far, but definitely not close either.
Dragon's hearing is far less developed than its vision, but in this piece of woodland, beasts are rare, most of the time it's extremely quiet, with no other noises to interfere. Maybe the Mother of Dragons might actually hear!
If the Female Dragon gets angry, comes over, and simply wallops the Xiao Female Dragon Fiona, that would be one thing.
But once before, the Mother of Dragons had vented her anger on Land and pummeled him together!
He didn't want to get dragged into trouble again because of the Xiao Female Dragon's stupidity.
Land wore a gloomy dragon face, sat on the ground, and started shoveling pawfuls of dirt into his mouth.
Damn it! He didn't catch any bugs today!
Every time he put the pure dirt into his mouth, his expressions shifted, nearly causing him to retch.
But immediately, his right paw would shove a several-meter-tall tree into his mouth! Ferociously biting it!
Tree with mud!
It's been his main food source for the past three years, slightly altering the taste of the dirt that almost made him vomit, barely making it edible.
This left him in a rather unhappy mood.
The food was too poor!
It wasn't that Land hadn't thought of changing things, he even dug lots of traps nearby, hoping to use the traps to capture beasts, but to no avail.
He had also wandered around within several kilometers nearby, still to no avail!
This territory held very little food! Land had realized this problem during the year Mother of Dragons was eating dirt, but he hadn't expected it to be this scarce.
Because he was too young, without the ability to fly, relying on four legs to find prey wasn't a wise choice.
"Hehehe, Land! I know you can't find suitable food, but this time is different! I discovered a Shark Lizard Beast three kilometers away!"
The Xiao Female Dragon's dragon face revealed a peculiar smile, moving close to Land and whispered.
"Shark Lizard Beast?"
Land was taken aback upon hearing this, quickly searching the Dragon's Legacy like a speedy database, and within moments, got the information he wanted.
Shark Lizard Beast.
It's a creature that lives underground.
Ugly in appearance, with a massive body and a solid shell, what's most impressive is their large mouth!
An adult Shark Lizard Beast can reach a body length of nearly five meters, possessing incredible strength.
Its toothless mouth, when opened wide, lined with rows of serrated edges connected to its armor, acting as sharp teeth, capable of shredding food or swallowing living people whole.
They belong to underground creatures that often ambush ground-living creatures as food.
According to the description in the human scholars' Book of Monsters, its challenge level at adulthood is 5.
The Challenge Level, categorized by human scholars, defines the danger level of certain monsters.
It generally requires an adventurer team of 4 professionals of the same level to handle them relatively easily.
Level 5, for ordinary people, is not straightforward to deal with.
At least not a role that a hatchling dragon could handle.
In the Book of Monsters, the Red Dragon hatchling is the strongest, but it has only a level of 4.
As for the Black Dragon?
It only has level 3!
The gap with the Shark Lizard Beast is indeed significant, not to mention that the two of them are still a full 2 years away from reaching the peak age of 5 for hatchlings!
But if the Shark Lizard Beast faced a nearly adult Giant Dragon like the Mother of Dragons, it would probably get slapped to death in an instant.
But if the Mother of Dragons took action, then there would be no share of the food for him.
Rumors say that the meat of such a creature is very good, extremely chewy, like authentic beef, and if they could get their hands on it, it would definitely improve their meals nicely.
This temptation, for two baby dragons who have been eating dirt and vegetation for three years, is immensely enticing.
Their breathing grew somewhat rugged.
"Exactly! It's a Shark Lizard Beast!" Xiao Female Dragon Orpheus swallowed a mouthful of saliva, nearly drooling.
"Is it an adult?" Land stopped eating, his right paw grasping the tree suspended mid-air, his eyes tightly staring at the Xiao Female Dragon.
"Uh... well... it might be... or maybe not..." Suddenly, the Xiao Female Dragon seemed a bit bashful, her gaze evading, causing Land's eyes to turn slightly cold. Seeing this, the Xiao Female Dragon quickly added:
"Land, you have to know, those creatures all sneak underground and ambush. It happened too suddenly at the time. I initially spotted a good prey and wanted to hunt.
But that creature grabbed it! Within an instant, it swallowed the prey, making it hard for me to judge whether it was an adult or not, but its size was definitely not bigger than yours!
As long as you are willing to take action, that creature is as good as dead!"
The Xiao Female Dragon had great confidence in Land, the ruthless dragon who had been beating her up for three whole years.
Other than their mother, there wasn't a dragon stronger than him!
"Is that so? Then let's give it a try. If I find out you're deceiving me, you know the consequences!"
Land grinned.
The Xiao Female Dragon nodded repeatedly, repeatedly assuring that she wouldn't dare deceive her big brother.
Finally, the two dragons headed northwest, and after about fifteen minutes of walking, they reached a piece of sparse woodland.
Land looked around and noticed that the grass here seemed relatively more lush than other places.
Scattered bloodstains by a massive hole warned of a crisis that had occurred.
This made Land believe the Xiao Female Dragon's words a bit more.
So he turned to look at the Xiao Female Dragon beside him, who appeared somewhat excited and expectant, and said abruptly:
"Fiona! I think you really need to exercise your body now! Look at your muscles. They seem to have shrunk a lot recently. If this continues, be careful of being surpassed by Ed."
"Huh? Why are you suddenly concerned about my body?" The Xiao Female Dragon was taken aback, her gaze somewhat drifting, seemingly thinking of Ed.
"But what you said seems to make sense. That useless Ed! With Safina's feeding.
He's indeed gotten a lot stronger recently! Damn thing! He'll never be able to surpass me!
Once Safina leaves, I'll definitely teach him a good lesson!"
The Xiao Female Dragon's expression turned sinister, her teeth gnashing.
"Then hurry up and get moving." Land reminded again.
"Hmm! Land! I didn't expect you to care about me that much! Humph! After all, only our bloodlines are close! Both of us detest that stinking swamp and love the warm sun!
We are real siblings!" The Xiao Female Dragon sighed a bit.
"Ah~ That's right! We are indeed siblings." Land replied casually.
It was only then that the Xiao Female Dragon contentedly began running; she ran a kilometer in circles.
Running and running, she suddenly froze.
Wait! Didn't Land and I come here to hunt the Shark Lizard Beast? How did he end up making me run and exercise my body?
This is very strange!
Xiao Female Dragon Fiona was a bit stunned, and after running another circle, she looked at Land, who was lying on the ground motionless.
Suddenly she froze, her limbs seemed bound, rooted to the spot, staring at Land's eyes with an understanding and a trace of fear.
"Land! You! You want me to act as bait, to lure the Shark Lizard Beast?"
Xiao Female Dragon Fiona, as if she had an epiphany, finally remembered one trait of the Shark Lizard Beast.
