"Hehe~ I have to say, Land, you're really amazing! Even the Shark Lizard Beast isn't a match for you! As long as we keep teaming up, we'll definitely be able to hunt even stronger and tastier prey in the future!
We'll never have to eat dirt and chew on trees again!" The Xiao Female Dragon gazed at the sky with a bit of longing.
After a while, as if something came to mind, her dragon face turned a bit strange:
"But Land, could you not make me the bait next time? It was really dangerous just now! I almost thought I was going to die!"
"Fiona, stop overthinking. Slandering me like this will make me angry." Land looked a bit displeased.
"In the end, isn't it because your own strength is weak? Even when working out, the enemies you randomly encounter almost get the better of you? This should make you more aware of the importance of strength.
You should work harder to train in the future instead of complaining to me and doubting my intentions here."
"...You're right, Land."
The Xiao Female Dragon puffed her cheeks, not daring to talk back, answered.
The atmosphere between the two dragons fell silent.
They laid back comfortably, gazing at the sky.
"Oh! So, you're here secretly eating stuff! Shark Lizard Beast? That's a rare species even Mother hasn't caught."
A childish roar came from not far away, causing both Land and the Xiao Female Dragon to turn their heads.
They saw their good brother, Ed, the Little Black Dragon, looking at the unfinished Shark Lizard Beast in the distance, drooling from his open mouth.
"Ed! You bastard actually dared to show up in front of me? Do you really think I don't dare to beat you?"
The Xiao Female Dragon jumped up from the ground in a flash, showing a fierce expression.
Ed was startled, preparing to turn around and retreat to maintain a safe distance.
However, the Xiao Female Dragon's sudden movement pulled at a wound, causing her to grimace in pain.
Blood oozed from the wound at her waist.
This made Ed notice her situation and stop his retreat, gloating:
"Fiona, you fool! You're actually injured? Just a weakling! And you still want to take me down like this?"
"You waste of space! If it weren't for Mother's protection, I would've smashed your ugly head by now!" The Xiao Female Dragon's face turned sullen, baring her teeth.
"Stop showing off! Who's stronger between us isn't certain yet!" Little Black Dragon Ed retorted stubbornly.
He then turned to Land:
"Land, you seem to have grown much stronger than before. This Shark Lizard Beast must have been caught by you! Truly remarkable! Much stronger than that Fiona by ten times at least!"
Little Ed praised Land while taking a jab at the Xiao Female Dragon, making her nostrils flare wide in anger, puffing out hot air.
"Instead of staying by Mother's side, what are you doing over here with us?" Land glanced at the Little Black Dragon and asked.
He didn't seem inclined to make a move, as this guy had a dragon backing him up.
"Mother went out to hunt, and I got a bit bored, so I wandered around. I heard some strange noises coming from here, so I came to check it out."
The Little Black Dragon replied.
It seemed he was attracted by the sounds of their fight with the Shark Lizard Beast? No, it seemed more like he was drawn by Land's wild laughter....
Land realized.
But this guy sure was bold, daring to show up while the Mother of Dragons was away in front of the two dragons, not scared of getting beaten!
"Land, since we're brothers, sharing some of the meat with me shouldn't be a problem, right?"
The Little Black Dragon showed a great desire for the Shark Lizard Beast Meat.
"Get lost! Ed! There's nothing for you here! Go back and wait for your mother, that's your dragon life."
The Xiao Female Dragon roared angrily, glaring fiercely at the Little Black Dragon.
"I wasn't asking you! Fiona! This is Land's catch. You don't have the right to answer for him!" Little Ed completely ignored the Xiao Female Dragon.
"Ed! How dare you underestimate me!" The Xiao Female Dragon was so angry she took two steps forward, making a move to hit Ed.
But her steps were awkward, her movements careful, like a patient.
"Hahaha! Don't make me laugh, Fiona! In your current state, even if I gave you one leg, you couldn't beat me." The Little Black Dragon continued to mock.
The Xiao Female Dragon didn't dare to really hit the Little Black Dragon, so the two dragons could only engage in verbal sparring.
Land listened quietly from the side without any reaction.
Between the two dragons, he naturally leaned more toward the Xiao Female Dragon, but the Little Black Dragon Ed had the Mother of Dragons backing him, and he didn't want to offend him too much.
Anyway, the two dragons wouldn't really fight, so let them be.
As for the leftover meat? Eat it if you want, he didn't care about wasting it since he was already full.
Just when the two dragons were arguing fiercely.
A peculiar sound came from the sky, it was a series of dragon roars filled with joyful vibes.
The three young dragons looked up, and sure enough, saw a black silhouette gliding slowly hundreds of meters above.
It was their mother, Saphis.
This Mother Black Dragon seemed in a great mood, swaying and spinning while flying in the sky, combined with her roars, making Land seem to understand what was happening!
According to the Dragon's Legacy, Mother Saphis's joyful dragon roars weren't declaring her strength to the creatures on the ground.
But a humming of the Dragon's Song!
A song named [Wealth] in the Dragon's Song.
Dragons will only hum this song when they've acquired satisfying treasures and are in a good mood.
This Mother Black Dragon didn't go hunting, as Ed said, but went treasure hunting instead.
The treasure she might have found could be unowned or plundered from somewhere!
Compared to the former, Land more believed this treasure was robbed by the Mother Black Dragon!
As for the target, Land guessed it was probably humans!
The human race, in the dragon's impression, is an individually weak yet inherently greedy race!
Even with low strength, they can collect wealth through some illusory authority.
And such people are called nobles! And merchants!
These two groups are the dragons' favorite! Viewed by Giant Dragons as lambs keeping their wealth safe!
What to do when out of money? Of course, go rob, extort, and blackmail the nobles and merchants!
It's a consensus among Evil Dragons.
"Mother must have found her treasure on this trip! Whether it's shiny gems or glittering silver coins? Just thinking about it excites a dragon!
Such treasures only exist in our memories!
Land! Fiona! I'm heading back! I bet Mother will share some with me!
I can't wait to roll around on those treasures! That's a joy you can never understand!"
The Little Black Dragon Ed was extremely excited, speaking in a boastful tone, before either dragon could reply, he ran off out of sight.
