Dragon Tamer

Chapter 418: Chapter 420 Leading by Example
The battle had already been going on for a while.

Little Wild Jiao had some scratches on its body, which could not be compared to Little Black Dragon’s scales, as hard as iron; a light scratch might cause its blood to surge immediately.

Zhu Minglang just watched in silence.

Little Wild Jiao was stronger than expected, already marked with scars, yet it did not cry for help, determined to overcome the Lizard Water Monster with its own strength.

The Lizard Water Monster was casting demon arts, spitting out a kind of saliva mucus from its mouth, which slowed down Little Wild Jiao’s movements.

However, Little Wild Jiao also knew the art of water control, swishing its tail to sweep up the water from the mud pond, creating a fierce mud wave and viciously smashing it towards the four-hundred-year cultivation base Lizard Water Monster.

Despite the tension, after all, it was too young, with not so high intellect.

But it was very smart.

Little Wild Jiao was constantly imitating and learning the combat techniques of other dragons.

Especially those of Li Shaoying’s adult Black Serpent.

Little Wild Jiao was learning from Black Serpent’s tactics, whether defensive postures or offensive methods, Little Wild Jiao was learning.

It seemed to know that among these dragons, Black Serpent was from the same clan, and the fighting techniques it could use, could be used by itself as well…

Zhu Minglang had wanted to tell Little Black Serpent the weakness of the Lizard Water Monster and guide it on how to deal with such Demon Spirits, but he found that from its initial nervous response, Little Wild Jiao gradually became proficient, and then was able to play with the Lizard Water Monster as if it had grown a lot all at once.

…

After a fierce fight, the Lizard Water Monsters were basically wiped out.

This was not the Lizard Water Monster’s lair, and no Demon Spirit Level creatures were seen, so with the strength of their group, it was not difficult to deal with them.

Moreover, they had several dragons, and dealing with these Lizard Water Monsters didn’t require deploying Dragon Generals, which was also a good opportunity to train the other Dragon Sons…

Little Black Dragon’s combat achievements were remarkable.

It had killed Lizard Water Monsters, large and small, probably about fifty or sixty in total, and the bodies could fill a small fish pond.

Zhu Minglang did not waste his spiritual power collecting these Soul Beads; after all, there would definitely be Demon Spirit Level creatures in the Lizard Water Monster lair, and he could use it then, gaining more valuable Soul Beads.

Little Black Dragon was particularly disciplined, killing all the Lizard Water Monsters and even helping to clean up the battlefield afterwards.

It dragged all the Lizard Water Monster corpses together, piling them up as if showing off its combat power to the other dragons!

Indeed, the other dragons hadn’t killed as many as it had…

“Are you injured?” Zhu Minglang asked.

Little Black Dragon rotated its head and looked at the shallow wounds on its body.

“Oh?”

A bit of broken skin, was that considered an injury?

Zhu Minglang checked, and found that Little Black Dragon indeed had some skin broken, but during the examination, the broken skin slowly started to grow back…

The self-healing speed was also fast, which was one of the Ancient Dragon’s characteristics.

“And not much stamina was consumed.”

Its stamina was also very formidable, indeed more outstanding than Little Qingzhuo.

It seemed that Little Black Dragon had only just warmed up.

But when Zhu Minglang brought Little Qingzhuo to deal with these Lizard Water Monsters, Little Qingzhuo, who often used spells, needed to rest and replenish with Wutong Spirit Dew.

After being fed a piece of Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor meat, Little Black Dragon stood next to Zhu Minglang, satisfied and ready for the next battle.

Zhu Minglang was quite satisfied with Black Fang’s current form.

It and Little Qingzhuo each had their own strengths.

Little Qingzhuo was now adept at casting spells.

Black Fang was better at close combat and fighting.

Once they both reached maturity, they should be able to cope with a variety of situations through mutual cooperation.

“Ssshhh.” Little Wild Jiao slowly swam out from the muddy pond, laboriously dragging the corpse of a Lizard Water Monster.

Glancing at the pile of lizard corpses heaped up high next to it, Little Wild Jiao hesitated.

Zhu Minglang extended his hand to perform Soul Collecting Pearl Brewing on the Lizard Water Monster corpse brought back by Little Wild Jiao, and soon a 500-year-old Demon Pearl was suspended above the palm of Zhu Minglang’s hand.

He hadn’t performed Soul Collecting Pearl Brewing on those Lizard Water Monsters before; on one hand, their Demon Spirits were no longer worth Zhu Minglang wasting his Spiritual Power, and on the other, Little Black Dragon had been a bit too forceful, leaving most of the souls broken, making their collection meaningless.

“This was a 500-year-old Lizard Water Monster. We even misjudged earlier, thinking it was only four hundred years…” Zhu Minglang said.

Little Wild Jiao stood up, its narrow eyes fixed on Zhu Minglang.

“This is your first trophy, imbued with water properties, it should be helpful to you,” Zhu Minglang said, placing the 500-year-old Lizard Water Monster Soul Bead next to Little Wild Jiao’s mouth.

Little Wild Jiao swallowed it but still seemed somewhat inferior.

Both newly born, Little Black Dragon effortlessly annihilated a group, while it struggled with every trick to kill just one.

“Are you hurt?” Zhu Minglang asked.

Little Wild Jiao hid its tail under the water, not daring to show it.

Zhu Minglang stepped closer and saw a large wound on its tail, nearly bitten to the bone – almost severed.

After bandaging the wound on its tail, Little Black Dragon approached, then howled a few times, as if communicating with Little Wild Jiao…

Little Wild Jiao didn’t understand what it was saying.

Yet Zhu Minglang laughed, translating for Little Wild Jiao, “Black Fang is telling you that during its first battle, it was chased by a 200-year-old Violent Catfish and only managed to kill that Demon Spirit with the help of an Azure Flood Dragon. It’s remarkable that you could defeat a 500-year-old Demon Spirit with your own strength.”

Little Wild Jiao’s narrow eyes gazed at Little Black Dragon.

Little Black Dragon, with its mouth wide open showing off a set of fine Dragon Teeth, clearly welcomed the new member into the group.

While Zhu Minglang was carefully treating Little Wild Jiao’s wound, Little Black Dragon started to gesture and mimic, introducing the other companions to Little Wild Jiao, and even scared Little Wild Jiao by saying there’s a Variant Corpse Dragon in the Spirit Realm – the Dragon King, who loves eating Young Dragons and is very difficult to get along with…

Tales of the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon terrified Little Wild Jiao.

Zhu Minglang raised his hand and gave Little Black Dragon a knuckle-rap on the head.

“Stop scaring it. Go look around for some Detoxification Grass, chew it up, and help apply it to its poisoned wound,” Zhu Minglang said impatiently to Little Black Dragon.

This guy was truly mischievous.

Just moments ago, he was the warm-hearted big brother comforting Little Wild Jiao, but now he was scaring the youngster senseless.

The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon was indeed difficult to deal with, as it did not interact at all with the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon or Little Black Dragon, acting as though it were only lodging here temporarily and that they would soon part ways with proud aloofness.

But even so, it still wouldn’t go as far as to eat Young Dragons.

It probably didn’t like to.

If it did, Zhu Minglang might have some trouble and would have to isolate the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon in the Spirit Realm.

The Dragons of a Dragon Shepherd do not have a Spirit Bond with each other.

So, whether Dragons get along with each other or not is all down to the Dragon Shepherd’s teaching and example in daily life.
