Chapter 252: Chapter 52: Essence Blood; Offspring

"Master, let me eat them."

The Abyssal Demon Dragon menacingly glanced at the group of succubi and molten turtles.

Mad, these creatures of lowly bloodlines actually dared to roast its meat!

Must eat them!!

Sensing the Abyssal Demon Dragon’s intense malice, the group of lower-level enchanting demons became drenched in cold sweat.

Even the always calm molten turtle’s expression changed, realizing that the ingredients from a moment ago had become a comrade, possessing far greater value than itself... it felt like it might really die.

Run?

Can’t run, impossible to run away.

The molten turtle began to zone out....

"No, if you eat my fire-burning turtle, then I’d have to catch another one, too troublesome. Plus, the next one may not have such good control of the fire." Udi shook his head, expressing refusal.

The molten turtle, which was zoning out waiting for death, suddenly perked up. Good good good, no need to die.

But Diya Harut still wasn’t pleased, saying,

"Isn’t it just a molten turtle, Master, how many you want I’ll catch for you, still let me eat them..."

Catch as many as you want?

Udi felt tempted for a moment but quickly realized he didn’t actually need so many fire-burning turtles.

Without fire, as food, the molten turtle is not that great... To Udi now, at least top-level creatures qualify as excellent food, with relatively significant improvement in Banquet effects.

The molten turtle that had originally relaxed beside them heard the Abyssal Demon Dragon say this and saw the master’s somewhat tempted expression... feeling like it might die again.

"Alright, don’t be too stingy as a dragon, why haggle with those who manage the fire and cook meals?" Udi said indifferently.

"Yes...." Diya Harut felt aggrieved, but being the mount now, it couldn’t defy the master’s words.

It could only glare fiercely at the group of lower-level enchanting demons and molten turtles.

The fierce, terrifying gaze made the former wet again; the dragon dominance of the Abyssal Demon Dragon was too powerful, causing constant sweat.

The latter, after repeated trials of life and death, was thoroughly enlightened.

This lifetime, definitely be a good fire-burning turtle for the master.

Strive to improve fire control.

After a brief interlude, the three-meter-tall dragon-man-form Udi sat on Diya Harut’s dragon back, starting to collect special products needed for the next Banquet in the Abyssal Wilderness.

Diya Harut, now over eight hundred years old, according to dragon race classification, belonged to the mature dragon stage, and as a triangular four-winged Abyssal Dragon bloodline, at the same level, Diya Harut’s power could completely rival the strongest among the five-colored dragons, the Red Dragon.

Therefore, Diya Harut’s power is approximately equal to a mature Red Dragon.

Actually, that’s about right too; a mature Red Dragon typically has pseudo-legendary power, which means it could tangle with newly promoted legendary professionals but couldn’t beat them, yet could escape.

In summary: Above legendary, I flee upon seeing; below legendary, see me and flee.

"How does your Abyssal Demon Dragon clan grow?"

Udi stood on Diya Harut’s back. When encountering quality special products (advanced and above), the Demon Dragon would spew Abyssal Breath to directly kill them, then store them in the space magic storage space. The process was evidently somewhat dull, so Udi casually picked a topic.

".... After we hatch from the shell, the Dragon Mother will throw us into an underground demon cave with lots of small wretches to survive for ten years. After ten years, the Dragon Mother will take the surviving demon dragon hatchlings and sell them to lords related to the demon dragon clan, under whom they work, such as participating in life-death battles in the Demon Arena.... The lord ensures the dragon body safety outside of work for the demon dragon hatchlings.... And the demon dragon hatchlings stay with the lord until adulthood, when they gain freedom...."

Diya Harut’s words led Udi to ponder deeply.

The nurturing method of Abyssal Demon Dragons is entirely different from the five-colored dragons.

Although both emphasize survival of the fittest, the Abyssal Demon Dragon clan, living in the harsh abyss, actively hone their hatchlings, otherwise relying on the Abyssal Demon Dragons’ growth period, if tossed the same way as the five-colored dragons it’s long been extinct.

The five-colored dragon clan’s atmosphere is relatively peaceful, in the material plane, where after adulthood, few creatures threaten them, different survival environments causing differing methods among dragon mothers, choosing to slack off, thus not spending time honing their hatchlings.

After nurturing for some years, casually toss them outside, if they die it’s just bad luck, weak power, if surviving becomes a local dominator.

Udi now understood why the Abyssal Demon Dragon’s dragon body was stronger than a Giant Dragon.

It’s selective. The Abyssal Demon Dragon abandoned their innate spell capabilities as dragons to gain formidable physical abilities.

This could be seen from Diya Harut.

Apart from inborn dragon breath, dominance, demonized domain, mental attack, and other spell-like abilities, it hasn’t learned any magic. Because it’s hard to learn, the demon dragon’s frenzied spiritual power doesn’t suit the caster profession requiring calm thinking and spirit.

Metal dragons are not mentioned, among the five-colored dragons, even somewhat lazy mature five-colored dragons, they somewhat learn spells, given time, mature dragons over seven hundred years old, learning one spell per century could learn seven.

"The demon dragon clan doesn’t even have transformation technique inheritance?"

In the subsequent conversation, Udi was once again astonished.
