A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Bone-Chewing Clan, Encounter with the Red Copper Dragon Again

The seasonal changes in the Sel Wilderness are unusual and unpredictable; after the land had been scorched by the blazing sun for three years, it finally welcomed a rare rainy season.

At first, it was just a few rumbling thunderclaps rolling over the horizon, then the clouds devoured the sky at a visible speed.

When the first raindrop smashed onto the scorched earth, it didn’t attract much attention from the wilderness creatures, but soon, countless silver lines pierced through the clouds and poured down, tearing the dry air into moist fragments, a heavy rain curtain enveloped the sky and earth of the wilderness.

”This damned weather.”

Samantha looked at the dense rain curtain, cursed with dissatisfaction, then turned and burrowed deeper into the cave.

The Red Dragon likes dry, hot, high-temperature weather, and this humid weather full of water vapor made Samantha feel irritable and melancholic.

Galos perched on an outcropping rock slab, with no cover above.

He lifted his head, his gradually prominent dragon horns angled towards the sky, eyes slightly closed, letting the raindrops crash on his steel-forged body, shattering upon impact.

The rain created a wet and damp sensation on his body.

Galos instinctively felt the same disgust and dislike.

But to enhance his affinity and resistance to water elements, and since the cave Dragon’s Nest was too rudimentary, some cracks leaked water, turning into muddy drops on the body, soaking the cave ground like a mire, it was better to stand in the rain outside.

”When will I have my own palace that doesn’t leak?”

Galos pondered.

Different creatures have different dwelling specifications and standards due to their size.

For the Dragon Race, building a dwelling that makes them feel comfortable, whether hollowing out a mountain or constructing a palace on flat ground, requires a vast amount of resources, time, and clan members.

Only an Evil Dragon Lord occupying a territory, or a well-connected Metal Dragon,

can afford a dwelling that makes them feel comfortable.

Galos usually stays in a cave Dragon’s Nest, which is just some natural caves.

It can hardly be called comfortable, living there was even somewhat uncomfortable.

When he first occupied Needleleaf Valley, he tried to have the Violent Bears break the mountain and chop wood to build a dwelling for himself, but the Violent Bears themselves were cave-dwellers, living in caves, clueless about building, although possessing the talent for handling earth and stone, what they constructed was mediocre and completely unable to meet the needs of the Dragon Race, unable to meet Galos’s needs, so he had to give up.

”If I could integrate and rule all the creature clans around Scale Earth Rift, relying on this road channel to obtain resources, perhaps then the clan could build a fine dwelling that makes me feel comfortable.”

Thinking of this, Galos’s mind emerged with information about several clans.

After about a week of exploration, Galos also confirmed the number and approximate scale of clans around Scale Earth Rift, except for the Gray-haired Werewolf, besides similar magical creature groups like the Earth Bear, there are three intelligent creature clans.

Red Eye Clan—Jackal-Wolf Folk.

Clawbreak Clan—War Lizardfolk.

Bone-Chewing Clan—Ogres.

Among them, the comprehensive scale of the Red Eye Clan is similar to the Howling Moon Clan, Clawbreak Clan is slightly stronger, while the Ogres of Bone-Chewing Clan are unparalleled here.

The Howling Moon Clan once had friction and conflict with Bone-Chewing Clan due to a robbery conflict on Scale Earth Rift.

When both sides cannot fly, marching in the wilderness is extremely dangerous, encountering numerous fierce beasts and magical creature attacks along the way, if not strong enough, it is almost impossible to attack other clans.

The Bone-Chewing Clan is strong enough.

They dispatched some Ogre Warriors for long-range raids in the wilderness against the Howling Moon Clan, causing heavy losses to Howling Moon Clan.

Later, thanks to the Cliff Snake Dragons raised by the Werewolves, they repelled the Ogre attack at a relatively small cost.

The Gray-haired Werewolves are willing to submit to Galos for another reason: without the Cliff Snake Dragons, if attacked again by the Bone-Chewing Ogres, unless abandoning their territory and migrating in the perilous wilderness, they would be difficult to resist.

Recently,

for some unknown reason, the Bone-Chewing Clan has not attacked the Howling Moon Clan.

Moreover, it’s not just the Howling Moon Clan, this usually very brutal and domineering Ogre clan has recently almost withdrawn to their territory, with no clan members venturing out.

The Werewolves of Howling Moon Clan went to investigate but found not much useful information.

Galos was preparing to investigate personally when the heavy rain came, the rain curtain would obscure his view and affect perception, so he wanted to wait until the rain diminished to set out.

”Galos, Galos, why don’t you return to the cave to avoid the rain?”

Elf Dragon Vera swayed over in the wind and rain, hiding in the crevice between Galos’s Dragon Wings and body, asking.

”Because I like the rain, I like the feeling of openly bathing in the rain.”

Galos said.

”Really? Then rain a bit more, the rainy season here seems rare.”

Elf Dragon Vera said with a playful smile.

Nonsense, of course, it’s fake; I hate the rain, I want to enjoy a peaceful life in a spacious and comfortable palace... Galos glanced at the Elf Dragon, then, taking advantage of its inattentiveness, shifted his Dragon Wings, collecting the surface water like a winding stream, letting it fall precisely on the Elf Dragon.

For an Elf Dragon, this stream was like a waterfall.

Caught off guard, it was flushed down, only managing to flap its wings and fly back up after a few seconds.

”Aiya! You’re terrible!”

”I’m going to play with Samantha.”

The drenched Elf Dragon shook off the water, afraid Galos would continue teasing, and hurriedly flew towards Samantha’s cave.

The heavy rain continued.

Raindrops hit rocks, grass, and trees, making a crisp pitter-patter sound.

After resting for half an hour, Galos lifted his Dragon Wings, stood up, and rose into the sky, charging into the dense clouds covering the sky, using the interwoven currents to recharge the Lightning Tail Ring.

The charging was completed quickly, and the Lightning Tail Ring’s energy reached its peak.

Galos descended from the dim sky to a barren mountain and then used the well-charged Lightning Tail Ring to strengthen his Dragon Tail, bathing in the wind and rain, using his Dragon Tail to repeatedly strike himself.

His body was wet from the rain.

Due to the conductivity of water, every time his Dragon Tail raised and fell, not only the directly contacted area but other body parts also transmitted waves of tingling sensations.

The feeling inside the muscles like passing electricity became more intense.

Thanks to Galos’s diligent training, this electric sensation is extending from the tail to the whole body; he has a premonition when it covers the whole body, he will undergo an evolution, but what exact effect it will have, Galos is not sure.

In this regard, he does not hold much expectation.

Galos’s greatest hope is to evolve a jet structure on his Dragon Wings, and he has worked hard and tried many things for it; now is the leisure time after training his Dragon Wings, improving some lightning resistance.

Under the rain curtain.

Around the Red Iron Dragon, the charge is dense, the tail shining with dazzling electric light.

Suddenly.

Galos experienced a sense of palpitation and instinctively looked up.

A blazing white reflected in his view, close at hand.

Crack!

Silver lightning tore through the night rain, first striking Galos’s dragon horn, then extending at light speed along his metal-like dragon horns to cover the whole body.

Galos shuddered.

He felt a moment of intense paralyzing spasm and pain, wisps of smoke rising from his body, the rainwater between his scale armor almost evaporated, his tail slightly curled.

But that was all.

Phew... Galos exhaled hot air, patted his Dragon Wings, stretched his body, his body still retains some paralyzing sensation, but no other discomfort.

”My lightning resistance may not match the Blue Dragon, but it has surpassed the normal Red Dragon or Iron Dragon level.”

This unexpected turn instead confirmed his lightning resistance strength.

Galos looked at the sky, between the dense clouds, countless silver snakes danced, occasionally lightning fell, illuminating the sky.

”The tingling sensation of the whole body passing electricity is quite pleasant, let’s try again.”

He raised his tail high, using the ring on it to attract lightning to strike him.

Then, bolts of lightning struck Galos one after another, mixing tingling with pain, conducting ’lightning tempering.’”

Until a familiar red copper dragon shadow appeared from the sky.
