Udi didn't go to move the corpses of these hunting creatures but hovered in the air, silently vigilant of the surroundings.
During this time, he also glanced with his peripheral vision at the hunting corpses being carried by Dragon Brother and Dragon Sister.
"There's actually a Level 6 Demon." Udi's eyes narrowed when he saw Heloise struggling to transport a Scorpion-tail demon that was several times her size.
Gryphon, a powerful monster that combines the features of a bat, lion, and scorpion; a Level 6 Demon, surviving in family-like groups.
Udi looked at that huge Gryphon, akin to an elephant, its bat wings torn apart from behind, and its head twisted off by brute force, his eyes narrowed slightly.
So violent! So savage!
If it was weapon injuries, Udi wouldn't be so shocked, but these were clearly injuries caused by sheer physical force.
The work of that Giant Demon Leader Gray.
"However, the stronger the giant demon's power, the better, as the quality of the prey caught for me will also be higher." Udi thought to himself.
Of course, he also understood that powerful demons like Gryphons couldn't be hunted every month.
The intelligence of Intermediate Demons is generally no lower than humans, knowing how to endure, hide, erase traces, and avoid powerful creatures' habitats.
Although the giant demons led by Gray are powerful, it probably took some effort to hunt this Gryphon.
Finding Gryphon tracks, determining Gryphon's activity range, then confirming the number of the Gryphon family, finally deciding whether to act.
Before taking action, there's also the need to find an opportunity to lure the opponent into a trap.
Otherwise, under the alarm, Gryphon can fly, reaching hundreds of meters high in an instant, what can Gray do even with the power to kill Gryphon with a single blow?
Udi guessed right, Gray indeed spent a great deal of effort to hunt this Gryphon.
Just spending two and a half days lying in wait for the Gryphon to leave its group.
The entire hunting process took seven days, with only less than three minutes spent dealing with the Gryphon.
.....
Days gradually calmed down.
With the help of Gray at the head of the hunting team, the time Udi needed to spend on hunting was reduced a lot.
In the past, he had to go out for at least ten days a month, sometimes more than half a month.
Now?
He only needs to go out three to five times a month. This isn't to say the prey brought by Gray isn't enough to eat; it's actually enough for the three little dragons. Even if Udi needs to hold a Banquet once a month, it's definitely enough.
No matter how much gluttony is needed for the Banquet, it can't surpass what an adult Black Dragon needs for food.
And Gray brings prey from the Rotting Swamp every month strictly according to the amount of food needed by an adult Black Dragon, mostly consisting of low-level demons, occasionally including an intermediate demon.
The reason Udi still needs to go out hunting is merely to satisfy his own appetite with some freshly hunted meat, nothing more.
However, Udi learned in his engagement with Gray that the prey provided by the other party isn't exclusively hunted by their Giant Demon Tribe.
Two other follower tribes under the Black Dragon Maiden's command: Black Teeth Tribe (Dogman Tribe) and Bodan Tribe (Goblin Tribe), contribute their share of strength.
However, since the strength of those two follower tribes is vastly inferior to the Giant Demon Tribe led by Giant Demon Leader Gray, the prey they provide are just some powerful beasts or low-level demons. Only the Giant Demon Tribe has the stable ability to hunt intermediate demons.
Time slowly passed, a month, two months....
In the blink of an eye, it has been half a year since the Black Dragon Maiden fell asleep.
Deep in the Rotting Swamp, the Dragon Nest.
A mighty black-scaled giant beast slowly opened its eyes.
Having just ended a Banquet with his body strengthened, Udi stretched his increasingly powerful Dragon Body wantonly.
Opened the panel.
[Udi: Biological Level 5, Professional Level None.] (Body Length 7.06m)
[Life Force: 10.5]
[Current Banquet Level: 15 Layers]
[Banquet Cooldown Time: Thirty Days]
"Whew~"
Swish~
Just a normal breath causes a series of small waves and sprays in the mudwater of the Dragon Nest marsh.
Terrifying lung capacity can be called.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, as if sensing something, Udi looked towards the depths of the Dragon Nest.
Only to see the originally dense spiritual light in the depths of the nest slowly dissipating, submerging into the stone walls and ground.
The Black Dragon Maiden.
Awakened.
