Chapter 3 Troubles

On the third day of birth, the young dragons were able to run freely, bite and fight, and try to start hunting alone.

All black dragons, whether old or not, are strong or weak, have such a consistent habit. When hunting, they prefer to adopt ambush strategies, ambush in mud ponds and rivers, waiting for their prey to take the bait.

In the humus-covered river, three young dragons lie quietly under the mud at the bottom of the river. The dark scales provide the best camouflage. They blend into the bottom mud, revealing only their upright pupils, like crocodiles, staring at the swimming fish above their heads, ready to go.

The black dragon mother, not far away, calmed down and watched the grass fern, watching the first predation of her offspring.

However, the result seemed not very good. After an afternoon, the three children of the Black Dragon Girl had nothing to find. The young dragons were still too young to skillfully control the "fever aura" ability they gradually formed (the legendary dragon power), which caused the prey to be alert from afar and would not be close to the ambush of the young dragon.

On the contrary, swimming fish and prawns often pass by Caesar, who is in the downstream. It’s not that he is talented, but that this guy has not accepted the dragon’s inheritance and cannot form spell-like abilities at all. In this case, the prey know nothing about Caesar crawling at the bottom of the mud.

But even so, he had no gains. The keenness of the fish swimming in another world was far beyond Caesar's imagination. Whenever he was about to make any move, the fish could feel strange from the silt and the flow of the river, and avoid it like a frightened bird. Before he could rush out from the bottom of the river, the prey had already escaped completely.

The other two young dragons don’t feel anything. Sooner or later, they will become predators in the upper level of the food chain. Such hunting is more like a leisurely entertainment for them.

But Caesar was not so comfortable. The failure to hunt food brought him a lot of frustration, so that when the little dragon crawled out of the bottom of the river, he couldn't help but sigh at his wet and dirty body.

"It's so uncomfortable!"

To make matters worse, over time, he gradually showed more differences from the other two young dragons.

The most intuitive thing is that both young dragons have "fearing momentum" and can fly in advance. They just need to vibrate their wings gently to get off the ground.

On the other hand, Caesar could not let himself evacuate no matter how hard he tried his best to flap his wings and squeezing a howling hurricane.

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 Girl were a little smaller, and the lift generated was not enough to support the dragons to fly.

The ratio of wings to weight is seriously inconsistent. Logically, their weight is too big to fly.

However, dragons are magical creatures.

Wings are just auxiliary to dragons. What really makes them soar in the sky is magic and the dragon's innate ability.

This is the biggest difference between Caesar and the other two young dragons. Without magic, the young dragons could do it easily, but to him it was like a natural barrier.

However, Caesar was already mentally prepared and was not too frustrated. He knew that it was meaningless compared to other young dragons. The most urgent task now is to make himself stronger as soon as possible, have a certain ability to protect himself in this dark area, and then leave the Black Dragon Girl's nest.

Although the black dragon is not known for its wisdom, and their black dragon mother cannot be called wise, its intelligence level will never be much lower than that of an adult human. As the young dragons grow up, the black dragon mother will sooner or later discover the difference between Caesar.

As the most violent and vicious species among dragons, the black dragon's world is famous for being cruel. They are ruthless in dealing with degraded defective products, and expulsion is considered light. Faced with the dragon beast that has deceived them, the black dragon has the possibility of directly killing them.

Soon Caesar discovered that in the next few days, his food began to shrink, 30% less than usual. Although the mother of the black dragon did not find the truth, she also regarded him as a inferior young dragon who was not as good as other little dragons. Under the natural rules of survival of the fittest, he was naturally ignored by the female dragon.

"This is not possible." A few days later, Caesar took advantage of the black dragons' sleep and climbed out of his mother's swamp nest.

Newborn dragons need to eat a lot to meet the needs of growth and development, but with their mother's lazy temperament, they are unwilling to spend a little more energy on hunting for inferior dragons, which leads to Caesar's food supply being less and less day by day, even to a harsh level.

"Anyway, I can't starve to death, let alone, can't this cub be able to eat dirt?" This is what the Black Dragon mother thought.

Caesar knew that this situation would only get worse over time.

"Sooner or later I will be killed." Even though he has been devouring the inorganic substances, the growth and development of the young dragon, which does not have enough nutritional supply, has gradually stagnated.

During this period, his compatriots' younger brothers and sisters have become close to each other and even surpassed him.

But these two young dragons are pure real dragons. They are constantly acquiring dragon knowledge and awakening magic abilities. They are not comparable to them. Caesar doesn't care about being surpassed by the two young dragons. He just wants to grow up as much as possible and give himself a certain amount of self-protection.

"You can't count on your body's mother, you have to hunt on your own."

Caesar thought that if he continued to stay in a daze, the situation would continue to deteriorate as the food reduced, and sooner or later he would lose the ability to continue to grow. When the ferocious mother found that he was just a degenerate dragon beast, he had no way to die.

In this case, Caesar decided to take the risk and go out to hunt alone.

The little dragon's tail swayed, spreading the grass fern, drilling into the dense bushes, and its slender body disappeared.

For any young dragon who is born shortly after a long time, the jungle is a dangerous place with many dangers, but he has no choice but to take a risk.

The little dragon carefully passed through the dense weeds and thorns, and his heart beat continuously. He knew that he was a pure novice, and if he was not careful, he would change from a predator to a hunted object.

At this time, he had to be careful and cautious enough to survive in this terrible shadow jungle.

Fortunately, before this, Caesar had formulated a detailed hunting plan and selected his own target of hunting: carnivorous mammals.

He is not as picky as an ordinary black dragon, and he is not only fish, shrimp and aquatic animals. Those strong but not magical creatures are his best food now, which can provide him with enough fresh meat and nutrition.

But the premise is to catch them first.

Just like fish swimming in another world, mammals have extremely sensitive hearing and smell. Moreover, in the jungle, any movements can make these creatures wary of them.

Fortunately, as a predator at the top of the food chain, dragons have long evolved a series of organs that are highly adaptable to the environment. The fleshy protrusions at the bottom of their claws allow him to walk quietly in the woodland.

Caesar's dragon wings are very small relative to their weight and cannot fly without using magic. However, the lift generated by the light vibration of his wings is enough to allow him to slide smoothly across the humus-covered ground, making his movements more secretive.

But that's not enough.

Caesar, who had failed fishing experience, knew that these alone would not be enough to make him return home with a full load. Although he was powerful and his scales were hard, his speed became the weakness of this young dragon. The young dragon was seriously biased and seemed stagnant and dull in terms of sensitivity.

It is almost impossible for Caesar to complete predation by conventional means such as raids and hunting.

You must use your body more skillfully.

Caesar drilled into the bottom of the shrub, digged out the hard soil, and used the black mud to hide his body well, felt the flow of the wind, and quietly lie dormant.

He is positioning the wind direction and choosing targets that can be hunted.

After waiting for a while, Caesar began to stir up his throat after almost the smell of the Black Dragon Girl on his body.

"Ho, ho..."

Under the obstruction of thorns, the young dragon made a few pig calls.
