Black Dragon Code
Chapter 3
On the third day of their birth, the young dragons were able to run, bite and fight freely, and tried to hunt alone.
All black dragons, whether old or not, strong or weak, have the same habits. When hunting, they prefer to adopt the strategy of ambush, ambush in bogs and rivers, and wait for their prey to bite, rather than take the initiative to chase and kill.
In the river full of humus, three young dragons are quietly dormant under the silt at the bottom of the river. The dark scales provide the best camouflage. They are integrated with the bottom mud, revealing only the vertical pupils. Like crocodiles, they look at the swimming fish above their heads and are ready to go.
Not far away, the mother of the black dragon gathered her breath, crawled among the grass ferns and watched the first predation of her children.
However, the result seems not very good. After one afternoon, all the three children of heilongniang got nothing. The young dragons are too young to skillfully control their gradually formed "ferocious" ability (the legendary dragon power), so that the prey are far from vigilant and will not be close to the young dragons'' ambush.
On the contrary, Caesar, who is downstream, often has fish and shrimp passing by. It''s not his talent, but this guy doesn''t accept the inheritance of the dragon and can''t form spell like ability at all. In this case, the prey knew nothing about Little Caesar crawling at the bottom of the mud.
But even so, he also had no harvest. The sensitivity of exotic fish was much higher than Caesar''s imagination. Whenever he was ready to make an action, the fish could feel the strange from the shock of silt and the flow of the river, and ran away like a frightened bird. Before he threw out from the bottom of the river, the prey had already fled.
The other two young dragons don''t feel much. Anyway, they will become predators at the top of the food chain sooner or later. Such hunting is more like a leisure entertainment for them.
But Caesar was not so comfortable. The failure of hunting brought him great frustration, so that when the young dragon climbed out of the river, he couldn''t help sighing at his wet and dirty body.
"Uncomfortable!"
To make matters worse, over time, he gradually showed more differences from the other two young dragons.
Most intuitively, both young dragons have "ferocious momentum" and can fly initially. They only need to gently vibrate their wings to get up from the ground.
On the other hand, Caesar, no matter how hard he tried to flap his wings and set off a roaring hurricane, could not make himself fly.
If you want to fly, you must abide by the laws of physics. There is a fixed relationship between weight, power and wingspan. Caesar stared at the two young dragons. From the perspective of the earth, their wings and even the black dragon mother''s wings are a little small, and the lifting force is not enough to support the dragons to fly.
The ratio of wings to body weight is seriously uncoordinated. Logically, they are too heavy to fly at all.
However, dragons are magical creatures.
Wings are just auxiliary to dragons. What really makes them soar in the sky is magic and the talent of dragons.
This is the biggest difference between Caesar and the other two young dragons. Without magic, the young dragons can easily do it, but it is like a natural moat to him.
However, Caesar had already prepared himself and was not too depressed. He knew that compared with other young dragons, it was meaningless. Now the top priority was to make himself strong as soon as possible, have a certain self-protection ability in this dark area, and then leave the black dragon mother''s nest.
Although the black dragon is not famous for its wisdom, and their black dragon mother is not called wise, her intelligence level will never be much lower than that of an adult human. As the young dragons grow up, the black dragon mother will find out the difference between Caesar sooner or later.
As the most violent and vicious evil species of dragons, the world of black dragons is famous for its cruelty. They are ruthless in dealing with degraded and inferior products. It is light to expel them. In the face of dragons and beasts that have deceived themselves, black dragons may directly kill them.
Soon Caesar found that in the next few days, his food began to shrink, 30% less than usual. Although the black dragon''s mother did not find the truth, she also regarded him as an inferior young dragon whose development was inferior to that of other dragons. Under the natural rule of survival of the fittest, he was naturally ignored by the mother dragon.
"That''s not good." a few days later, Caesar climbed out of his mother''s swamp nest while the black dragons were sleeping.
Newborn baby dragons need to eat a lot to meet the needs of growth and development, but with their mother''s lazy temperament, they are simply unwilling to spend a little more energy hunting for inferior baby dragons, which leads to Caesar''s food supply becoming less and less day by day, even to a harsh degree.
"Anyway, I can''t die of hunger. What''s more, isn''t this cub able to eat soil?" this is the idea of Heilong''s mother.
Caesar knew that this situation would only get worse and worse over time.
"Sooner or later, he will be killed." even though he has been swallowing inorganic food, the growth and development of the young dragon without sufficient nutrition has gradually stagnated.
During this time, his compatriots'' younger brothers and sisters have approached or even surpassed him.
However, these two young dragons are pure real dragons. They are constantly acquiring dragon knowledge and awakening magic ability. He is not comparable with them. Caesar doesn''t care about being surpassed by the two young dragons. He just wants to grow up as much as possible and have a certain self-protection.
"You can''t count on the mother of the body. You must hunt by yourself."
Caesar thought that if he continued to stay in a daze, the situation would worsen with the reduction of food, and he would lose the ability to continue to grow sooner or later. When the vicious mother found out that he was just a crippled degenerated dragon, he had only one way to die.
In this case, Caesar decided to take risks and go hunting alone.
The young dragon''s tail swayed, pulled away the grass fern and drilled into the dense bushes, and his slender body disappeared.
For any newborn young dragon, the jungle is a dangerous place, but he has no choice and must take a risk.
The young dragon carefully walked through the dense weeds and thorns. His heart beat. He knew he was a pure novice. If he was not careful, he would change from a predator to a hunted object.
At this time, he must be careful enough to survive in this terrible shadow jungle.
Fortunately, before that, Caesar had made a detailed hunting plan and selected his hunting target: carnivorous mammals.
He is not as picky as an ordinary black dragon, not fish, shrimp and aquatic animals. Those strong but ordinary creatures without magic ability are his best food today, which can provide him with sufficient fresh meat and nutrition.
But only if we catch them first.
Like exotic fish, mammals are also very sensitive to hearing and smell. Moreover, in the jungle, any wind and grass can alert these creatures.
Fortunately, as a predator at the top of the food chain, dragons have already evolved a series of organs highly adapted to the environment. The fleshy protrusion at the bottom of his claws allows him to walk quietly in the forest land.
Caesar''s Dragon Wing is very small relative to his weight. He can''t fly without magic, but the rising force generated by the light vibration of his wings is enough to enable him to smoothly slide over the humus covered ground, and his action is more secret.
But that''s not enough.
Caesar, who had the experience of fishing failure, knew that these alone were not enough to make him return with full load. Although he was powerful and hard, his speed became the weakness of the young dragon. The young dragon was seriously partial to the family, and he was dull and slow in sensitivity.
It is almost impossible for Caesar to complete predation by conventional means such as RAID and hunting.
You must use your body more skillfully.
Caesar went into the bottom of the Bush, planed the hard soil, covered his body with black mud, felt the flow of the wind and lay dormant quietly.
He is locating the wind direction and selecting the target position where he can hunt.
After waiting for a while, Caesar began to agitate his throat when the smell of the black dragon mother was almost dispersed.
"Ho, Ho..."
Covered by thorns, the young dragon made several pig calls.
