Chapter 19 Low-key development
The morning of the canyon is always filled with fog. The fog flows slowly with the airflow, brushing across the pine and cypresses on both sides, as leisurely as the rhythm of life of dragons.
Hole**, Jose woke up from his sleep and stretched his waist.
Since he settled down, he has become more and more like a fat man, and he often has to sleep for ten days after a meal.
But the sleep of the young dragon is not a sleep in the general sense, but a mental state between awakening and sleep.
In this state, wild beasts such as the sixth sense will be fully released. Once stimulated by external forces, they will wake up immediately to ensure the safety of the young dragon to the greatest extent.
This strange physiological mechanism is the result of long-term biological evolution. On the one hand, the young dragon has low combat power and sleeping can reduce energy loss and use more energy for physical development.
On the other hand, for young dragons, sleeping is an indispensable part of growth, even the main part, all of which originate from the inheritance of the dragon.
The inheritance of the dragon is simply the memories left by the dragon ancestors to their descendants. These memories are all-encompassing: magic knowledge, combat skills, life experience, dragon's outlook on life, values...
The problem arises here. The memories left by the ancestors of the dragons of all generations are vast. If they pour in, they can burst the young dragon's young brain and degenerate into an irrational idiot.
In response to this problem, the solution to the dragon is to divide the dragon's inheritance into small pieces and store it separately. Given that the brain processes too much information when awake, sleeping becomes the best time for young dragons to digest the dragon's inheritance.
"This is simply a realistic version of my dream study."
Jose couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that his ultimate dream in his previous life would be realized after traveling through time.
However, the Red Dragon has always been famous for its reckless behavior, burning, killing, and robbery. How can such a villain be reliable in teaching his younger generations?
Just like reading novels, you will never think of what you will see in the next moment when you read the inheritance of Dragons.
For example, an ancestor named Klaus was explaining his great idea last moment - to use a small grab hook on his wings to activate his wand, and then to show off his achievements in beauty hunting without warning. The list of beauty hunting includes "beauties" of various races.
With the noble scientific idea of observing the birth of new species, Jose read the practical records of this ancestor who could be regarded as a great person in all senses, and then he doubted his life in his three views.
From a human perspective, Klaus's unreliable ancestor is undoubtedly a weird thing, but by the standards of dragons, it is simply too normal.
If you give a title to the knowledge recorded in the Dragon’s inheritance, then: "How to make a villain", "How to rob effectively", "The Art of Intimidation", "Your Pain, My Happiness"...
"No wonder the Red Dragon is not famous, it's all for a reason," Jose murmured to himself, throwing a piece of iron ore into his mouth.
Fortunately, he already had a sound personality before traveling through time, otherwise he would have been brainwashed by the inheritance of the dragon and became like other red dragons. He looked down on all races, including other dragon species, and naturally believed that the whole world should obey him.
However, Red Dragon's way of dealing with the world is not completely undesirable. As long as you don't fail, arrogance is equivalent to self-praise and is an effective means to spread reputation. The greater the reputation, the more it can attract wanderers in the wilderness to come and surrender.
For Jose, who has human thoughts, arrogance is used as a disguise to conceal his true character, reduces the enemy's vigilance towards himself, and looks at people with nostrils, calling another creature with independent consciousness a reptile, which is quite exciting to think about (second-year).
"Ha! The great true dragon - He Aotian was born!"
Gugugugu~.
With a ginger, Jose had to take off Aotian's name for a while. Facing reality, it was time to go out to hunt.
The nose with sharp horns spewed out two scents with sulfur. He stood up from the ground, his bones crackling all over his body.
Through the obliquely downward passage, we came to the take-off and landing platform, and the young red dragon looked down at the entire canyon.
At this time, the red sun was rising in the sky, and the fog was everywhere in the canyon, making the visibility very low.
But it doesn't matter, he is already very familiar with this land.
The red dragon jumped down from the cliff, fell into the clouds and flapped its wings like a joyful flapping, raising the strong wind to blew away the clouds and mists. This was a novel experience for Jose, who once had no wings.
After playing for a while, he began to fly along the canyon to find prey. He did not fly randomly and tried his luck, but also had some special attention to the flight route.
First of all, the flight altitude will not exceed the peak, so even if someone stands on the mountain top in the distance, he will not be able to see the red dragon in the canyon, minimizing the risk of whereabouts being exposed.
Secondly, predation has a range, with a range of ten miles around the nest. The two dragons in this territory have been patrolled many times, and no one can threaten their existence.
This is a hunting ground belonging to the two dragons.
With his knowledge of the territory, Jose easily found his prey, a crypt located in the forest, where the wild boar family lived.
The red dragon falling from the sky tore open the soil layer above the cave, dig out the wild boar family buried by floating soil, and eat the pig father and pig mother who have no resistance.
He would not do the stupid thing about fishing in the waters, so the trembling little wild boar survived.
Jose is not worried about the survival of the little wild boar. In the past two months, carnivores within the territory either entered the two dragons' stomachs or escaped. He would not keep these competitors to compete with himself for food resources.
The red dragon, which filled his stomach, embarked on the journey back, but before sleeping again and receiving the hard teachings of his ancestors, he decided to go and see his little brother Bailong.
Cassie's nest is very close to Jose's home, right by the river at the bottom of the cliff, and is a semi-flooded cave at the junction of the river and the cliff.
After settling down, the two dragons were in a state of sleep for a long time and their awake periods were often staggered, so the two dragons had not met for more than two months.
Jose landed on the river beach, and his hind limbs touched pebbles smoothly polished by the river. The pebbles were trampled by heavy objects and squeezed with other stones, making a whispering sound, and he closed his wings.
"Cassi!"
Not long after roaring, a swinging figure like a swimming fish appeared under the clear river surface. Cassie showed his head out of the river water, and the water droplets fell like chains along the edge of his body.
"He...Boss Jose."
"Have the task I gave you been completed?"
"Yes...yes, now I practice speaking every time...every time I go to bed."
Jose nodded with satisfaction. Cassie's stuttering problem was caused by being too young and incomplete brain development, which would sooner or later as time went by.
Jose wanted to speed up this process, not for anything else, just to communicate better with Cassie. After all, it sounds a bit uncomfortable to talk one by one.
