Day 3: Your immense strength surprised all the magical beasts. They didn't know when a magical beast like you appeared, and none dared to attack you.
Month 1: You recruited the magical beasts that were relatively loyal to you in the last simulation. Standing on the high mountain, you saw Nibi Si and the male priest board a carriage leaving Fallen Dragon City. You watched silently until the carriage disappeared.
Month 2: You still went to the cliff edge of Falling Dragon Valley. Without a word, you began to attack the flying magical creatures. As you expected, the Four-legged Flying Eagle did not appear because of your movements. It was clear that it was focused on cultivation and had no time for you.
But you still hid back in the forest before it came out. Month 3: After you frantically absorbed hundreds of magic crystals at all costs, your level reached Level Twenty-eight.
Month 4: You continued to hunt magical beasts in Falling Dragon Valley.
Month 5: You were still hunting magical beasts.
Month 6: Your level reached Level Twenty-nine. You studied on your own and created a skill called Shadow Armor, a defensive skill that uses magic power to condense a translucent armor covering your entire body, capable of resisting magical attacks of a lower level than yourself. This gave you a way to deal with the Four-legged Flying Eagle.
Year 1: You were still hunting magical beasts, and you felt that leveling up was becoming increasingly difficult.
Year 1, Month 3: After hunting almost all the flying magical beasts around Falling Dragon Valley and absorbing their magic crystals, you finally reached Level Thirty!
You felt that, just like at Level Twenty, you needed a King's Heart of the same level to help you break through, and your target was the Four-legged Flying Eagle.
You and the Tiger-striped Giant Elephant and other magical beasts formulated a very detailed plan, intending to ambush it the next time it came out to forage.
Year 1, Month 5: You finally got the opportunity. As the Four-legged Flying Eagle walked out of its cave and yawned, you sent a subordinate to launch a long-range skill at it. As expected, the Four-legged Flying Eagle was enraged and immediately soared into the sky, flying towards you.
But with the passage of time, you and the Four-legged Flying Eagle were at the same level. Although you hadn't been at this level as long as it had, the difference in strength was not significant.
The moment it followed you into the forest, you used Surprise Claw to briefly submerge yourself in the shadows, while your many subordinates launched powerful attacks simultaneously. A large vine net several meters wide also descended from the sky.
Without any surprise, your subordinates were too low-level, and the damage they inflicted on the Four-legged Flying Eagle was not high, but it did make the Four-legged Flying Eagle fall to the ground. The large net easily ensnared it, and one second later, you leaped out of the shadows, a pair of sharp claws like the grim reaper slashing across the Four-legged Flying Eagle's neck.
Its vitality was strong, but under your subsequent half-hour of attacks, it still perished.
You successfully obtained the Four-legged Flying Eagle's magic crystal and its King's Heart. However, unlike the Swift Wind Wolf King's King's Heart, this King's Heart was condensed by the Four-legged Flying Eagle itself. Although it was not a prototype that would disappear upon death, its usefulness to you was not great.
But you still planned to continue breaking through.
The magic power contained in the Four-legged Flying Eagle's magic crystal surpassed your imagination. You spent a lot of time digesting it.
Year 2: Under your diligent absorption every day, you finally absorbed all the Four-legged Flying Eagle's magic power, and at the same time, your strength also increased significantly. You felt that as long as you were at Level Thirty, no magical beast would be your opponent.
But unfortunately, you did not break through to Level Thirty-one after absorbing the King's Heart, but you felt that you were not far from Level Thirty-one. Perhaps absorbing a few dozen more magic crystals would allow you to break through directly. And you also felt that your King's Heart had undergone a slight transformation, and its ability to absorb magic power had increased by one level.
Year 2, Month 5: You finally made a decision: to go deep into Falling Dragon Valley. Your current strength allowed you to clearly feel a very special trace of magic power at the very bottom of the valley, and at the same time, there was a very terrifying threat that made you afraid.
Your resolve to become stronger was firm. You had been stuck at Level Thirty for almost half a year, which made you believe that there might be an opportunity at the bottom of the valley that could allow you to break through.
So you let your subordinates leave and jumped into Falling Dragon Valley alone.
The closer you got to the bottom of the valley, the stronger the sense of oppression you felt, and at the same time, the concentration of magic power within it also increased significantly, which made you happy.
In the evening, you finally arrived at the bottom of the valley. Here, a small stream flowed, and not far away, there was a huge cave. Many white bones could be seen at the entrance, and you could see human bones among them.
You knew that the aura that made your heart tremble came from inside the cave. You guessed that since this place was called Falling Dragon Valley, there might indeed be a dragon within it.
You didn't hesitate for long. Since you had already come here, you had to go inside and see.
Soon after entering the cave, you came to a spacious cavern. The scene before your eyes left you stunned.
In the vast cavern, there was a huge, brightly lit dragon bone skeleton. Various strangely shaped flowers and plants grew around it, and in the very center, there was a blood-red small lake. A red and black Four-legged Flying Dragon, twice your size, floated in it. It made no movement, as if it were dead, but faint snores could be heard.
"Good heavens, I didn't expect there to actually be a dragon," Su Xiao said, a little surprised. This was probably the first dragon he would ever see at his current stage.
Your movements were light. The little dragon in the lake had very low vigilance, which put you slightly at ease. You began to examine the various plants growing around. Based on your guess, any plants that could appear in this cave were likely useful medicinal herbs. You began to use your Magic Eye skill to examine the plants' magic power.
You found that the most concentrated magic power was in the water of the lake, which piqued your curiosity. But at the same time, the magic power from the little dragon also startled you; it was clearly much stronger than you, and you didn't dare to act rashly.
Finally, you found several unique plants with powerful magic power nearby. You made a small basket out of some flower stems with lower magic power and carried it on your back, stuffing all the discovered plants into it.
After filling the small basket, you decided to approach the lake and test it. You believed that no matter how strong this dragon was in this place, it should only be Tier 5. With your current Quickness Lv25 and Wind Force Lv7, escaping should not be a problem.
You easily reached the edge of the lake. A faint scent of blood entered your nose. You discovered that the lake water contained the blood of some creature. You guessed it was dragon blood, but it was so ancient that the dragon blood concentration was already very thin.
You immediately had a bold idea: lick it.
After waiting a moment and confirming that the little dragon showed no signs of waking, you extended your head, and your tongue scooped up the lake water into your mouth. In an instant, you felt a surge of majestic magic power flood into your body. Immediately, you felt your physical body undergo some changes; your claws became sharper and harder, and your level reached Level Thirty-one.
At the same time, the little dragon felt the aura suddenly expand dozens of times, and it abruptly woke up, directly spitting a blazing fireball at you!
Almost at the same moment, you immediately clearly felt its strength: Level Thirty-five! You didn't hesitate for a second. A sonic boom exploded, and you disappeared directly, stopping again only when you had rushed into the mid-air of the canyon.
Your subordinate, the Claw Eagle, saw you "fly" out and immediately grabbed you, placing you on the cliff edge.
Before you could even recount what happened below, a dragon roar followed closely, its sound reverberating through heaven and earth.
