It rained heavily, and after brewing for a while, the originally fine silver threads turned into a waterfall hanging from the sky, pouring into the wilderness.
It was noon now, and the sky should have been bright, but due to the thick dark clouds, the whole world was shrouded in darkness and gloomy rain.
A huge creature was walking through the mud.
This is a Sword-Jawed Beast, about twelve meters long, with scales and claws on its body. At first glance, it looks like a fusion of a crocodile and a lion. Its most striking feature is the pair of giant bone blades extending from its lower jaw.
It is three meters long, and its surface is covered with steel-like hard enamel, which glows coldly in the rain.
This beast is tracking a group of Iron-Horn Deer.
Its steps are incredibly light, and its padded feet allow it to walk silently in the rain. Whenever it finds traces of prey, it lowers its body and the bone blades on its head tremble slightly.
This is the Hunt posture unique to Sword-Jawed Beast.
Just when Sword-Jawed Beast was about to pounce on the deer, the sky suddenly became bright as day.
A streak of golden and red lightning split the rain curtain.
Garos is like the sky Divine Descent is coming, wrapped in violent current and flames, instantly evaporating the surrounding rainwater.
Sword-Jawed Beast raised his head instinctively, his bone blade pointing straight at the sky.
But it's too late.
A dazzling golden-red sphere was spit out from Garos's mouth, running straight through the rain curtain.
At first glance, it looked like ball lightning, jumping in and out with golden arcs, but the whole thing took on the appearance of a burning flame. It was extremely fast and fell on Sword-Jawed Beast in an instant.
Boom!
Countless lightning and flames exploded simultaneously.
The ferocious beast, which was the same level 10 as Garos, was stiff, twitching, spasming, and its body surface was covered in large areas of scorched black. Under this blow, its body stiffened and fell to the ground dead.
Garos converged his wings, he landed in front of Sword-Jawed Beast's fallen body, and carefully looked at the scars on its body.
"The Flame Thunder Breath formed when Exhilarated State is very powerful, even better than my Flame Dragon Breath and Electric Fire Breath."
Garos's dragon had a satisfied smile on his face.
Through many activations and exercises with Exhilarated State these days, he gradually mastered some deeper usages.
At first, those Golden Lightning could only be used to strengthen and stimulate the body and improve his physical attributes, but after an accidental attempt, Garos unexpectedly discovered that when Exhilarated State, he could combine Golden Lightning and Dragon Breath to spit out spherical Flame Thunder.
This Flame Thunder has the characteristics of both lightning and flames.
Paralysis, penetration, explosion, incineration. It has many effects at the same time.
Red-Iron Hybrid and Garos essentially only have fire attributes.
Iron Dragon is also Fire Dragon. Although it has electric fire breath, it is limited to the breath, and the lightning damage in this area is disproportionate. The main reason is that it is faster and relies on the fire element for damage.
Flame Thunder is different.
It is dual-attribute energy in the true sense.
Just like Dragonkin's Magic Energy and Life Energy can be merged into Dragon Qi.
The fusion of flame and lightning can form Flame Thunder.
"Flame Thunder can only be used for breath at present."
"But I feel like its development hasn't reached its limit yet."
The golden mane held high in the rain, Garos stretched out his right paw and concentrated.
Sizzle!
High-temperature lightning intertwined with gold and red, and like red-gold flames, burst out from between his claws and fingers, flashing and jumping randomly. Garos tried to make them converge into shape, but failed. Their combination was not stable and they directly fell apart.
Flame Thunder If it can be condensed and attached to the body.
There is no doubt that this can further enhance the damage of Garos's attack.
And judging from the characteristics of Flame Thunder Breath, if it can be stably condensed, it can be used not only for melee combat, but also as a weapon for long-range attacks.
Garos exhales gently, all Golden Lightning on his body is restrained.
Chi chi chi. The hot and red Explosive Scale on his body came into contact with the rain, forming dense steam and gradually cooling down.
Garos waved his dragon wings to disperse the surrounding steam that obscured his vision.
"My dragon scales also need to evolve."
Red Iron Dragon stared at Explosive Scale who was gradually cooling down on his body, and the rain hissed on the surface of the hot dragon scales.
This layer of Explosive Scale on his body is not suitable now.
In fact, after Garos's wings evolved, this layer of Explosive Scale became a little uncomfortable.
Whenever it flies at high speed, the friction between Explosive Scale and the air will heat up rapidly. If you don't pay attention, it will explode directly due to overload.
As for its bombardment and scale splash damage.
It is very useful to deal with miscellaneous soldiers, but it is difficult for Explosive Scale to cause effective damage to targets such as Diamond Giant and Behemoth. For units such as miscellaneous soldiers, Garos can clear and kill a large number of them without Explosive Scale by spreading its dragon wings and charging at high speed.
There is also the buffer defense of Explosive Scale.
Garos is moving fast, and when it dives in the sky, it has become hot.
Unless Garos gives up his advantage in speed, when he engages in close combat, Explosive Scale is almost overloaded. For example, in the battle with Frost Behemoth, Explosive Scale's whole body was blown up with one blow from the giant beast.
For the current Garos.
Explosive Scale has good cushioning, but high temperature explosion is a failed evolution.
Of course, failure and success must be judged dialectically at different stages.
When Garos first evolved into Explosive Scale, its large-scale bombing and scale splash damage were very suitable for him. It was a successful evolution and gave him a wide range of attack methods in the early stage.
It's just that as he grows, he is now lagging behind and is incompatible with his stronger characteristics.
"I need a new scale armor system."
"It can not only retain the characteristics of Explosive Scale to absorb kinetic energy, but also not overload and explode due to high-speed movement. It is best to accumulate the absorbed kinetic energy, which will instead enrich my physical energy and make me more durable."
Garos was pondering in his heart.
He has the direction and ideas of evolution, but unfortunately, Adaptive Evolution will not proceed in the set direction just because of Garos's ideas, and he cannot accurately control the results of Adaptive Evolution.
The successful evolution of Celestial Comet Wings is due to his hard work and a certain amount of luck.
But no matter what, it is definitely good to have goals.
Garos took a sip of Scale Powder, which was carried close to his body, and the world in his eyes became warmer, the colors were no longer dim, and he looked positive even though he was still shrouded in heavy rain.
"Flame Thunder is a special energy form."
"Use it more when Exhilarated State it, and let it take shape for a longer time, and you can gradually Adaptive Evolution it and make it stable."
"Explosive Scale is in some trouble."
"The process of absorbing kinetic energy to deny itself must be very complicated and requires a long process. First of all, we must find a way to prevent it from exploding easily. For example, every time Explosive Scale is overloaded and about to explode at any time, stop it and let it cool down. Try to do this every time."
Garos's mind was running rapidly, and he was thinking about ways to condense the evolution of Flame Thunder and Explosive Scale, and he had a preliminary clue.
As time goes by, the effect of Scale Powder gradually fades away.
Perhaps because Garos's mind is also growing, the effect of Scale Powder on him is gradually weakening. He wants to further improve his thinking activity, so the dose required each time increases a lot.
There is only one Fairy Dragon, and Scale Powder has limited production capacity.
Now Garos rarely uses Scale Powder unless it is necessary. He only reserves it for use at critical times. The extravagant behavior of using Scale Powder just for the pursuit of spiritual pleasure like he did at the beginning can no longer be done.
Black Oil is similar to Scale Powder.
As Garos's body grows, he needs a larger amount of Black Oil to achieve the same effect as at the beginning. However, Black Oil is not an expensive resource, because there is a stable source of commercial trade, and his supply of Black Oil is enough to use it for bathing.
Zhila!
Golden Lightning burst out, Garos entered Exhilarated State again.
Explosive Scale, which had just cooled down due to the cold rain, quickly began to turn red and heat up.
Garos tries to condense Flame Thunder, and at the same time allows Explosive Scale to heat up, until it feels like Explosive Scale is about to overload and explode, immediately release Exhilarated State, and then let it cool down slowly, and so on.
Flame Thunder, Explosive Scale, Dragon Heart, thorn.
Garos's life is very fulfilling, except for the daily exercise plan. He also enjoys this peaceful and fulfilling life, and all the daily accumulation is also preparing for potential risks and accidents.
However, the training of Explosive Scale and Flame Thunder did not last long.
A piece of scale on the neck suddenly trembled slightly.
Garos stopped moving, took out Communication Stone, and received the message from Iron Dragon. A pair of pupils suddenly shrank, turning into vertical pupils as cold as a predator, and then returned to their original shape after a second.
"Ironthorn Viscount, tax collector."
"What is supposed to come has come."
Garos had anticipated the arrival of this day, and he knew very well that controlling a business path would definitely attract attention, whether overtly or covertly, but control in the dark would have the least impact.
"As they wish, talk to them first."
Garos's eyes flickered and he passed his thoughts to Sorog.
He is not an overbearing and rude Beast.
Scale-Earth Rift Road is the business channel opened by the other party. He occupies this place to make profits. The other party does have reasons for paying taxes. Garos does not mind a win-win cooperation to maintain the current situation.
But this premise is that the other party's demands are reasonable.
If the lion opens his mouth, Garos will not give in blindly.
He sharpens his minions to survive cautiously, in order to have the strength to resist when faced with danger and the confidence to overturn the table, instead of being patient everywhere.
