Udi speculated that perhaps the quality of the food consumed during the banquet would influence the final enhancement effect.
Moreover, the type of food might affect the aspect of improvement.
Rubbing his sharp Dragon's Claw against the black scales on his body, the solid, hard feedback gave Udi a strong sense of security.
Compared to the enhancement effect of the first banquet, this time the improvement mainly focused on the scales.
Udi could feel that his scale defense had increased by at least thirty percent!
"I'll know if my speculation is correct next time," Udi thought silently.
Stretching his robust and powerful Dragon Body recklessly, feeling the abundant Power flowing freely within, Udi smiled with satisfaction.
No matter what, this banquet had elevated his Biological Level to Level 3, and the enhancement in strength was indeed significant.
Leisurely turning around, he walked deeper into the nest.
After walking over a hundred meters, Udi returned to the depths of the nest.
He looked at Heloise and Brook, who were still sleeping like pigs near the swamp, glanced at their small statures, compared them to himself, and immediately felt a sense of superiority.
Oh, my foolish Dragon Brother and Long Mei, your big brother has grown stronger again!
Udi shifted his gaze from his Dragon Brother and Long Mei and looked towards the deeper part, the Dragon Nest core.
There, the Black Dragon Maiden was sleeping on the treasure.
The intense Long Wei unconsciously spread from her body.
Whenever Udi thought of challenging this Long Wei, he felt an overwhelming pressure that suffocated him.
The Black Dragon Maiden is very terrifying!
But then, the Black Dragon Maiden is an Adult Black Dragon!
Dragonling, Juvenile Dragon, Young Dragon, Adolescent Dragon, Youth Dragon, Adult Dragon.
There's a full five growth stages between a Dragonling and an Adult Dragon.
Although the Black Dragon ranks fourth among the Five-Colored Evil Dragons, an Adult Black Dragon is powerful enough to wreak havoc and dominate in a weak Human Duchy.
If one knows how to properly nurture an army of Followers, they could even directly overthrow a weak Human Duchy and establish their supremacy in the Dragon Kingdom!
Taking a deep look at the vaguely visible huge black Giant Dragon in the Dragon Nest core, Udi silently returned to the swamp, curled up head to tail, and fell into a deep sleep.
Nine days later.
The Black Dragon Maiden finally woke, moved her massive body out of the Dragon Nest.
Outside, she walked through the passage, then leaped into the swamp, her huge silhouette swiftly swam, disappearing in an instant.
The Dragon Nest established by the Black Dragon Maiden is located beneath the vast Rotting Swamp in the Dark Forest, more than a hundred meters deep.
The front structure of the Dragon Nest includes twisted, wide passages that can accommodate the Black Dragon Maiden's entry, with stagnant swamp water filling the front sections of the passage, diminishing further inside, leading to a moist Underground Cave due to the passage curve preventing further influx.
In the middle section, where the three little dragons reside near a swamp, there's a cave space over a thousand square meters, and the cave is seven meters high.
Further in is the Dragon Nest core where the Black Dragon Maiden has stashed her treasure, with the core being over ten thousand square meters in size and the space reaching more than ten meters high.
The awakening of the Black Dragon Maiden had long startled the sleeping three little dragons.
"Mother finally intends to hunt?" Brook said joyfully.
"I hope Mother brings back a Demon, a Swamp Demon Shark would be perfect!" Heloise said excitedly with wide eyes.
Udi remained silent, merely sighing.
According to the Black Dragon Maiden's hunting patterns, when he opens his third banquet, there would be no sufficient food to fulfill his banquet progress.
It seems he has to rely on himself.
Udi glanced at his current status panel.
[Udi: Biological Level 3, Professional Level None.] (Body Length 3.25m→3.26m)
[Life Force: 4.1→4.13]
[Current Banquet Level: Level 2]
[Banquet Cooldown Time: Twenty-one days]
Over these nine days of sleep, the Dragon Body growth change was minimal, only an increase of one centimeter.
As for Life Force, representing overall body strength, it only improved by 0.03.
Compared to the beginning, this enhancement is indeed slow.
But for a long-lived species like a Giant Dragon, it is reasonable.
Yet, it is significantly related to the lack of abundant food!
If Udi could feast on an Intermediate Demon like a Swamp Demon Shark at every meal, bodily growth would certainly be faster.
The difference between being raised poorly and being raised luxuriously is significant.
"After Mother returns with hunting food and I feast upon it, before sleeping again, I'll go out hunting!" Udi decided.
Originally, his plan was to try hunting near the Dragon Nest once his Biological Level reached Level 3, preparing for the banquet.
Otherwise, he couldn't eat dirt at every banquet, not only does it taste bad, but it's also weak as a banquet food.
If the outside is dangerous, eating dirt wouldn't be unreasonable, living as a survival-focused dragon.
However, according to his observations during the occasional wakefulness in the past month, and given it's impossible for the Dragon Nest to host wild strong Intermediate Demons or above, it is certain the surroundings of the Dragon Nest are safe.
Under such conditions, naturally, Udi's courage grew.
Actually, Udi is quite curious about the outside world.
Over forty days since his birth, Udi's steps have remained within the Dragon Nest.
If it weren't for the Giant Dragon's ability to pass time in slumber, Udi would surely die of boredom.
Half an hour later.
Huge commotion arose from the swamp water outside the Dragon Nest passage.
Under the watchful eyes of the three small dragons, the massive silhouette of the Black Dragon Maiden emerged from the swamp and entered the passage of the nest.
Plenty of swamp stinking water flowed down the Black Dragon Maiden's rough black-grey scales onto the moist black soil.
The attention of the three little dragons was fixed on the prey clasped beneath the Dragon Claw of the Black Dragon Maiden.
A bulky ten-meter-long Giant Beast, with densely packed black palm-sized scales similar to those of the Black Dragon.
This is an adult Swamp Black Water Python, a Level 6 Demon, a more troublesome and dangerous Intermediate Demon than the Swamp Demon Shark!
The moment they saw the Swamp Black Water Python, the knowledge from Dragon's Legacy instinctively surfaced in the minds of the three little dragons.
The knowledge contained within Dragon's Legacy is immensely vast, it's impossible for the dragons to acquire all the knowledge at once, otherwise, it would surely overwhelm their minds.
Dragon's Legacy often requires observation and thought to trigger corresponding knowledge to appear in the dragons' minds.
Of course, to protect the weak Dragonling and Juvenile Dragon, overly advanced knowledge must be restricted until the appropriate growth stage activates it.
