The classic of mountains and seas Modifier has been activated! Initial modifications are being made to the character.
Inside Li Zhu's mind, an ancient scroll slowly unfurled, stopping on one of its pages after a rustle.
Taotie (classic of mountains and seas · Classic of the Northern Mountains)
“Mount Gouwu… there is a beast, its form like a sheep’s body with a human face, its eyes are under its armpits, it has tiger teeth and human claws, its sound is like an infant, its name is Taotie, and it devours humans.”
Ying ying ying!
Following the page, the image of the Taotie leaped onto the paper, accompanied by a crying sound similar to an infant.
However, the entire icon had not yet lit up.
Acquired Taotie Bloodline, beginning Fusion.
Acquired Taotie talent: Taotie Stomach.
Taotie Stomach: Can swallow all things in the world and convert them into its own nutrition.
As information popped up before his eyes, a ray of light emerged from the classic of mountains and seas, seeping into Li Zhu’s mind.
Immediately, he felt an immense hunger in his belly.
But there was nothing to eat nearby. He was severely injured and on the verge of death, needing nourishment, yet unable to hunt.
"I don't care anymore!"
Li Zhu opened his mouth wide, turning into an excavator, and directly bit off a piece of turf from the ground.
He chewed and swallowed the turf, along with the dirt, into his stomach.
Gurgle, gurgle.
The Taotie Stomach immediately began to digest, absorbing the faint natural energy contained in the soil and vegetation.
Li Zhu immediately felt an inexplicable power entering his body.
The provided nutrition was effective!
Li Zhu was overjoyed, no longer caring about his human dignity, he gnawed on whatever was around him.
Occasionally, he would dig out worms hidden underground and suck them up like rice noodles.
"Damn it, good is good, bad is bad, this dirt and turf is really awful!"
Do not underestimate Li Zhu's will to survive. What if he had to gnaw on rotten mud to live?
Although these things offered little nutrition, at least his injuries would not worsen due to the supplement of nutrients.
He struggled to lean against a tree and lie down.
On the other side, the Dragon Mother's clutch did not only contain Li Zhu's Dragon egg; there were four in total, including him.
The other three Dragon eggs also hatched successively: one male young Dragon, one female young Dragon, and another was also a Dragon beast.
"True Name!"
The Dragon Mother looked at the three young Dragons and asked them one by one.
"Zuojia Crixus."
"Ishtiriel."
"Coo coo coo..."
The Dragon race's true names all contain the Dragon race's heritage.
As long as a Dragon does not die, the longer it lives, the stronger its power becomes, and the more Dragon race inheritances it can awaken.
Therefore, many Dragons sleep for decades or even centuries, and when they wake up,
"The Dragon race's heritage got MVP!"
They became incredibly powerful without doing anything, but to be fair, for this reason alone, the Dragon race indeed has the capital to be arrogant.
Therefore, many Dragons have very low psychological maturity; no matter how strong they are, they are essentially just giant babies with powerful abilities.
They usually enjoy doing dirty deeds like plundering treasures, looting homes, and kidnapping princesses.
No wonder most races dislike the Five-Colored Dragon race.
At the same time, the purer the Dragon's Bloodline, the more powerful the inheritance it can obtain.
Broadly speaking, there are many types of Dragons. The most common are the Five-Colored Giant Dragons: Red Dragon, Black Dragon, Blue Dragon, Green Dragon, and White Dragon. These are the mainstream Giant Dragon types.
There are also Dragons of the good and lawful alignment, including some Metal Dragons, Crystal Dragons, Gem Dragons, and so on.
It can be said that as long as there is Dragon Bloodline, there is inheritance.
But for a Dragon beast like Li Zhu, whose Bloodline was too thin, the only inheritance he could obtain was his True Name.
And the Dragon beast born later had a Bloodline so thin that it didn't even have the inheritance of a True Name; it could only coo aimlessly.
The Dragon Mother confirmed the True Names of the two young Dragons and checked whether their Dragon characteristics were complete and their physiques normal.
After confirming that everything was fine, the Dragon Mother returned to the cave, biting a large, rotting, stinking fish and throwing it in front of the two young Dragons.
Although the stinking fish was already covered in maggots, this was nothing to a Giant Dragon.
In fact, for a Black Dragon, it was like the pepper in old Beijing stew; that's what made it flavorful!
It made Li Zhu, who was standing nearby, cry from hunger.
Just as he was thinking if he could sneak over and get a few bites, the last-born Dragon beast on the other side also prepared to eat with the two young Dragons.
"Roar!"
The Dragon Mother roared directly at the Dragon beast, and the powerful airflow blew it away. It rolled a few times on the ground and then hid, trembling.
Clearly, the Dragon Mother's food was reserved for the true Giant Dragon hatchlings; Dragon beasts were not qualified to eat it.
This made Li Zhu also give up the idea of going over for a few bites.
"That fish is rotten, it's not tasty. Dirt and plants are delicious!"
Just as he was comforting himself, the Dragon beast actually wobbled over to him.
This little Dragon beast had just been born, but its eyes shone with ferocity.
It turned out that this fellow saw Li Zhu was seriously injured and wanted to eat him.
Why else would people say that foolish people have foolish blessings, but idiots do not?
"Hey, this blind bastard!"
In reality, Li Zhu's injuries had healed considerably, and he had been born earlier than his other siblings.
His scales had already slightly hardened, and his teeth were no longer soft. Moreover, when he was eating dirt and grass, he inadvertently swallowed some minerals.
These things, digested by the Taotie Stomach, made his scales and claws even harder.
Even the two young Dragons with purer Dragon Bloodlines were currently no match for Li Zhu.
Li Zhu feigned severe injury. When the Dragon beast approached, opening its mouth to bite him, Li Zhu suddenly turned his head and directly bit the Dragon beast's neck.
"Coo coo coo!"
The Dragon beast, bitten on the neck, immediately began to struggle, but it could not break free from Li Zhu's bite.
The Dragon beast's struggle instead ignited the ferocity in Li Zhu's Bloodline. With a fierce snap, he directly bit off the Dragon beast's neck.
On the first day of his Transmigration, he slaughtered his own nest-mate, his younger brother.
Very good, very spirited!
The artery in the Dragon beast's neck was cut open, and rich blood flowed down its esophagus into Li Zhu's throat.
With the nourishment of this fresh blood, his body's injuries healed unusually quickly.
If he were to eat this Dragon beast, the enhancement his body would receive was unimaginable.
But Li Zhu had to reluctantly let go.
Although conflicts between Giant Dragons happen frequently, and casualties are normal,
eating a Dragon beast would violate Giant Dragon law.
Once cannibalism is exposed, it will be regarded as a mortal enemy by other kin, essentially being blacklisted by the entire Dragon race and becoming a public enemy of the race.
His True Name might be revoked, and then, as a Dragon without a True Name, he would be directly bitten to death by the Dragon Mother.
Indeed, the Dragon Mother's cold eyes had been watching Li Zhu's side.
She had no intention of interfering; instead, she waited for them to fight to a mutual destruction and die, which would save her some trouble.
"Interesting, it's about time to bestow names!"
The Dragon Mother opened her wide mouth and began to bestow surnames upon her three surviving offspring.
Generally, a Dragon's full name follows the format of "True Name + Clan Name + Honorific or Mark of Sin."
For example, the Dragon Mother, her name is Karta Crixus · Omnelus · Rotten Scale.
Karta Crixus is her True Name, while Omnelus is her clan name, and Rotten Scale signifies that she is the lord of the Rotten Scale Swamp.
Thus, Li Zhu's younger brother and sister were each granted the clan name of Omnelus.
However, for a Dragon beast like Li Zhu, he was not worthy of a clan name.
"Naisade, you are not worthy of a clan name. From now on, I shall call you Klowick! Haha!"
Klowick, in Dragon Language, means "blood scab" and "unhealed wound."
This was undoubtedly an insult to a Dragon who yearned for power.
In Li Zhu's Dragon race inheritance, besides his True Name, there was also Dragon Language, so he understood the insulting meaning in the name the Dragon Mother bestowed upon him.
But to survive, he had to swallow his pride. He also gnashed his teeth to himself, Klowick, this is my growing "blood scab"!
I will use my fangs and sharp claws to tear apart anyone who blocks my path!
But for now, I'll lie low...
From now on, he would walk this world as Naisade · Klowick.
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. When I become strong, I'll pull out your Dragon tendons!"
Naisade cursed inwardly. On his first day of Transmigration, he was met with the joyful scene of a loving mother and filial son.
Truly commendable, truly commendable!
