Night fell.
The Dragon Mother and the two young dragons were already asleep, and Naisade, who had been feigning sleep, slowly opened his eyes.
The three black dragons had eaten their fill and gone to sleep, but Naisade's stomach was still hungry.
He cautiously and slowly got up, and seeing that he hadn't disturbed the Dragon Mother, he tiptoed over to a pile of broken bones and remains.
The two young dragons had eaten all the flesh off the rotten, smelly fish, leaving only an empty skeleton.
As for the dragon beast, it was directly discarded by the Dragon Mother on the outskirts of the Rotten Scale Swamp.
Poor Naisade ran to the skeleton, picked up a bone, and stuffed it into his mouth.
“Damn it, it’s too hard, I can’t chew it!”
This fish must have been a magical beast; Naisade's teeth weren't strong enough yet to bite through it.
“Sigh, it seems I still have to go out and find food myself.”
Just as he was about to leave the dragon's lair, he discovered the eggshells on the ground—these were the discarded eggshells after his siblings had hatched.
A giant dragon's entire body is a treasure; dragon scales are rare Materials for making high-grade armor, and dragon blood is a precious alchemical ingredient.
Not to mention dragon teeth, dragon horns, and dragon claws; even the eggshells contain rich energy.
His younger sister and brother had prey caught by the Dragon Mother as soon as they were born, so naturally, they looked down on the eggshells.
Naisade grabbed a handful of eggshells and stuffed them into his mouth; there was nothing he could do, these were the conditions, so he'd make do.
Upon putting the eggshells in his mouth, he suddenly realized that they contained unimaginable vitality.
Especially the dried mucus on the eggshells, which could even be called the essence of life!
To prevent the sound of chewing eggshells from startling the three black dragons, he even deliberately picked up these eggshells and ran to a distant spot to chew them.
Crunch, crunch, crunch.
The black dragon's eggshells were hard and crispy to chew, like eating a very old compressed biscuit, dipped in a bit of rotten, foul-smelling fish carcass pus.
It was both numbing and spicy, yet he craved it; the dragon race's taste was truly strange.
After eating all the eggshells, Naisade felt choked and quickly went to the river to drink water.
Looking at his reflection in the water, he examined his appearance for the first time.
His skin was dark red, his teeth stark white, with two small protrusions on his forehead, and a set of relatively delicate, immature dragon teeth.
Aside from not having fleshy wings and his reddish skin tone, his appearance didn't differ much from his younger siblings.
As for why a black dragon would give birth to a reddish dragon beast, it is well known that the dragon race is the least capable of controlling its urges.
Not to mention black dragons mating with Red Dragons, there are also shadow wolves, thunder rhinos, and sirens.
For those with more peculiar tastes, humans, elves, slimes...
Electric eels, worms, abyssal demons...
It's not that a dragon has a certain appendage; it's that a dragon grew on a certain appendage!
It's like, with one certain appendage, your eight generations of descendants will all have dragon blood.
Therefore, Naisade's appearance was already considered to have a relatively pure Bloodline among dragon beasts.
Naisade sighed, if he had known that being electrocuted would lead to Transmigration, he would have directly used his coffin money to buy a Dragon God template.
“Sigh, never mind, at least I have a cheat.”
With that, Naisade directly summoned his classic of mountains and seas.
The first page of the Classic was his current Taotie Dragon Bloodline, but merely having the Taotie Dragon Bloodline was not enough.
He remembered that this Classic also had an evolution function, and he had to collect similar Materials to evolve.
Take the Taotie Dragon, for example: its form is like a sheep's body with a human face, its eyes are under its armpits, it has tiger's teeth and human claws, its sound is like an infant, and it eats people.
In short, the Taotie Dragon is a monster with a sheep's body, a human face, eyes under its armpits, tiger's teeth, and human claws, and it eats people.
Therefore, Naisade must gather all the characteristics of the Taotie Dragon to undergo metamorphosis and become a true Taotie Dragon!
How to collect these Materials? Of course, by eating them.
As for what benefits he would gain after evolving, he didn't know yet.
The game was one thing, but truly transmigrating to this world, he was still somewhat confused.
Perhaps the reason he was able to awaken the Taotie Dragon Bloodline at first was also related to how similar dragons and Taotie Dragons look.
Both have five claws, and the cries of young dragons sound a bit like an infant's wail.
Looking at his reflection in the water, Naisade lost himself in thought.
When he was on Earth, he rarely socialized with people, was introverted, and going online was the only thing he could do.
Now that he had transmigrated here, although he was optimistic, he had directly killed a fellow dragon beast.
His human side still felt uneasy and bewildered.
But to say he regretted it? No regrets.
At that time, the little dragon beast had already developed killing intent towards him; if he hadn't awakened the Taotie Dragon's stomach, he would probably have become its meal long ago.
The social rules of dragons are more cruel and direct than those of humans; the strong survive and the weak perish is the main theme of the dragon race.
Thinking of this, the last trace of discomfort in his heart disappeared.
He slowly crawled back to the cave entrance, looked at the rotten fish bones, and after a brief thought, found a place to bury them.
Just because he couldn't chew them now didn't mean he wouldn't be able to later; it was always good to store some food.
After all, whenever the Dragon Mother returned from hunting, she wouldn't share food with him, a lowly dragon beast.
Then, he crawled back into the cave, ready to sleep.
This world was very dangerous; although he was extremely reluctant to live with those three dragons, the Rotten Scale Swamp contained many dangerous creatures.
For some powerful magical beasts, they might not dare to provoke a black dragon in its youth, but killing a young dragon was not difficult for them.
So, until his wings were fully grown, Nessar still had to rely on his Dragon Mother.
By the way, Naisade didn't have wings at all.
Yo ho ho ho.
