A few days later.
The Little Black Dragon was drooping its head, listlessly saying, "I'm so bored, Fiona! I don't want to play anymore."
"Then let's find something interesting to do!"
The Xiao Female Dragon said, pushing herself up with all her limbs, her eyes shining as she stared at the Little Black Dragon, gradually approaching.
"Hey! Calm down, Fiona! You can't do this to me! We're best siblings now! We share joys and sorrows and depend on each other for survival...
Wait! If you really hit me, and I make noise and wake Land, he'll twist your head off!"
The Little Black Dragon said anxiously. At first, the Xiao Female Dragon ignored him and kept pressing forward until Land was brought up, finally stopping her.
"I was just joking, my dear brother, do you feel less bored now?"
"Uh... hehe... yeah..."
The Little Black Dragon chuckled awkwardly, then lay back down on the ground, starting to sigh in distress.
Everything around was pitch black, nothing but dirt and more dirt.
The three little dragons were in an underground room about ten meters in all dimensions, with a passage on each side, one blocked a year ago by adventurers.
The other one they hadn't even ventured into.
This made the Little Black Dragon unbearably curious; he really wanted to see what's on the other side.
But when he glanced at Land beside him, he immediately dismissed the thought.
Just because when falling asleep, Land once said that whoever dared to leave this room by ten meters would have their scales and tendons peeled off!
The Little Black Dragon didn't dare ignore it, for Land was too fearsome.
He could only endure.
This enduring lasted two months.
On this day, he kept glancing at Land beside him.
A full two months had passed since Land said he would sleep, and he hadn't woken up since.
Just what is this guy planning to sleep till?
How does he even manage to sleep?
It should be known that although giant dragons love sleep, it's a habit that develops in old age after they have seen everything in the world.
Or, due to severe injuries, they absorb a lot of energy to sleep and repair their bodies.
Young dragons simply do not have the habit or self-control to hibernate; they have too much energy.
In the end, Land really is an odd one.
However, he wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but it seemed the surroundings felt a lot warmer?
Also, has this guy Land grown significantly?
Forget it, why am I even concerned about this?
Ugh~ So boring, when will this guy ever wake up?
The Little Black Dragon sighed.
The Xiao Female Dragon seemed somewhat uneasy as well.
Time slowly passed, with the two lively little dragons seeing that Land hadn't woken up and remained motionless on the ground. In the end, they bravely stepped into the unexplored passage.
They tried walking fifty meters; Land didn't wake up.
They tried walking a hundred meters; Land still didn't wake up.
Two hundred meters, five hundred meters, a thousand meters... Land never woke up; he was sleeping too soundly! Perhaps he wouldn't wake up from this sleep at all?
After all, he's a weirdo! Any unexpected situation would be normal!
The two little dragons couldn't help thinking this, leading them to let loose, unable to control themselves, constantly crawling along the passage.
They encountered many forks, tentatively exploring them one by one.
Some led to the outside world, to the forest that had been burned down, some led deeper, and others led into a wide cave!
In the cave, the two young dragons encountered kobolds!
Just as they were about to unleash their might and demonstrate dragon dominance, these kobolds kneeled down one by one, offering a pile of mercury mines!
This made the two young dragons, who had never owned wealth, ecstatic.
They seemed to sense the joy of adult dragons and understood the usefulness of these creatures.
After that, they decided to stay here, urging the kobolds to dig for minerals.
So they could lie on the mines and enjoy their dragon lives.
From then on, they never returned to their old burrow.
As if they had completely forgotten about it.
.......
The two young dragons were thoroughly enjoying themselves, and over time, the delightful consequences led them to become a bit sleepy.
They squinted their eyes, about to drift into a dreamland.
Until...
A chaos of kobold shouts and cries erupted.
The two young dragons instantly awoke, burning with anger, unable to comprehend when these wretched creatures had become so bold.
They had clearly instructed them before not to make strange noises and disturb their rest!
Were these wretches defying the orders of the great True Dragons?
"Roar!! You damned scum! Do you wish to feel the wrath of the Great Red Dragon King, Fiona!!! I will turn you all to ashes!"
The Xiao Female Dragon roared, quickly exiting her den.
At this moment, the Little Black Dragon Ed also stepped out of his den; both dragons met each other's eyes, feeling the fury in them.
Before they could say anything together,
a chaotic noise erupted from the passage.
"Woo wa wa wa!"
"Woof woof woof woof woof!"
These were the cries of the kobolds, sounding extremely terrified, as a blaze of fire gradually appeared at the mouth of the passage, and a few kobolds, with candles on their heads, appeared frantically before the two young dragons.
"Awooo awooo howwwl~"
The kobold leader, who knew a bit of dragon language, knelt before the two young dragons and barked loudly.
The two young dragons could roughly understand the meaning.
There were intruders attacking here, very powerful ones, and they needed the help of the True Dragon Lords.
"Wretches! You can't even handle a few intruders; get out of my sight! The great Red Dragon King Fiona will turn all daring invaders to ashes!"
The Xiao Female Dragon Orpheus, with a fiery temper, swiped a paw at the kobold leader, knocking him several meters away, with blood oozing from his mouth, whimpering lowly, and even inadvertently smacked a little kobold blocking the way to death!
Displaying the evil demeanor of a dragon.
"Intruders? Could they be adventurers again?"
Unlike Fiona, the Little Black Dragon Ed was much more cautious, murmuring.
"What? Are you scared? You're truly a useless Black Dragon! If you're afraid, then crawl back to the burrow! I can handle this alone! Of course, your treasures will be mine too!"
The Xiao Female Dragon glanced at the Little Black Dragon, her demeanor proud.
After three years of growth, she had passed the hatchling stage and become a young dragon!
Her power couldn't be compared to when she was just a hatchling!
Mere adventurers! She didn't take them seriously at all!
Know that now she had gained significant strength whether in size, muscles, or flames!
She was confident her fire could burn any enemy to ashes.
"Don't be too arrogant! Fiona! What you can do, I can do as well! Hmph! Mere adventurers! Let them witness the might of a True Dragon!
My acid liquid will corrode them all! Their howls will become the most beautiful symphony!"
The Little Black Dragon Ed stood tall, his tail slapping the ground forcefully, speaking with determination.
