Chapter 1048: Dragon Nest Fortune

Chu Feng burst in ferociously. In the darkness, six or seven pairs of narrow, golden eyes suddenly lit up, intensely piercing. They were filled with astonishing murderous intent and extreme hostility towards the intruder.

It was easy to understand why they felt this way. An entire tribe inhabited this dragon lair, but now the adult dragons had been captured, some even flayed and dismembered, or brutally killed. How could the remaining descendants not harbor hatred for outsiders?

Even these young dragons faced a life-or-death crisis, compelled to fight and hone the skills of a group of young prodigies.

Outside, some powerful figures chatted and laughed, discussing how to use the dragon lair to cultivate the strongest successors. This was, in essence, a brutal, naked display of the law of the jungle and survival of the fittest.

The moment Chu Feng charged in, a dragon's roar erupted, and a two-meter-long young dragon lunged like a black lightning bolt, moving with extreme speed.

A fierce wind assailed him. The narrow, golden eyes, filled with bone-chilling cold and endless killing intent, came perilously close to Chu Feng, making his body instantly tense.

This dragon lair was far more dangerous than he had imagined. He realized it immediately upon contact; the young dragons were very strong. According to Dongqing's prior description, this particular one had to be at least two years old.

His body was very flexible. He shifted slightly to avoid the pounce but brushed against the creature with one hand to gauge its strength.

The cold scales pierced his palm, leaving it bloody and causing severe pain. A powerful force, in particular, made his arm tremble, and he quickly shifted sideways.

They were indeed worthy of being dragons!

Chu Feng felt a chill in his heart. Ultimately, he had been cultivating himself for too short a time. His cultivation from his previous life was sealed and unusable, and in this life, he had only been tempered for just over three months.

It was too little time; a mere few months of cultivation, even for a reincarnated being, was far from enough!

Chu Feng was sobered. He knew that upon arriving here, he couldn't confront them directly. He needed to seek out opportunities to first improve his physique. Dongqing's earlier warning was not unfounded; one misstep, and he might die here.

"Roar!"

In fact, his crisis had just begun. Behind him, another six or seven dragons, none very large but all fierce, swung their tails and charged, pouncing on Chu Feng.

Chu Feng leaped up, stepped on a lightning-struck log, and flew backward. He evaded them; if he were truly surrounded by this group of dragons, he was destined to be torn to shreds.

The situation was quite unfavorable. With murderous young dragons ahead and pursuers behind, Chu Feng ultimately chose to retreat. He had to make the hostile parties encounter each other for a chaotic battle to ensue.

As for his earlier shouts of "dragon brother, dragon sister," they were completely useless. The moment they saw he was a human outsider, the young dragons' eyes had already turned red with fury.

"Ji Quede, die!" roared the prodigy from the Taiwu lineage. He was older among this group of children and astonishingly strong. He struck out a palm towards Chu Feng, electric arcs and a black whirlwind crackling between his fingers.

Chu Feng leaped up, clinging to the stone wall above the dragon lair like a gecko, moving incredibly fast to avoid the fatal blow.

At that critical moment, he discovered a secret here: the entire dragon lair contained lodestones and partial natural energy fields. He rushed towards them, moving by harnessing the primal magnetic energy.

His body tensed, and a chill ran through him. This truly was a desperate struggle; he had only just entered the dragon cavern and had already encountered danger several times.

"Ah..."

Roars erupted as the children who had followed Gouwa encountered the young dragons, and a bloody battle ensued.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Gouwa, the young prodigy from the Taiwu lineage, was utterly ruthless. He leaped up, clung to the cave wall, and pursued Chu Feng, desperate to kill him.

"Gouwa, I'm going to find some dragon blood grass to eat first! Once my physique improves, I won't even bother killing you!" Chu Feng shouted.

Among these rock walls, there was ample geomagnetism, and natural energy fields appeared intermittently, enough for him to escape. Using the primal magnetic energy, he shot away like a streak of light.

However, he lacked the power to kill anyone using this method.

"Ah..."

At that moment, screams echoed. After all, they were just children; one child below had his abdomen torn open by a dragon claw, and his intestines spilled out instantly. The scene was gruesome.

"Everyone, attack together as soon as possible! This isn't a game. Don't waste energy fighting amongst yourselves. There are too many dragon descendants here. Look, several more have arrived!" the chubby boy shouted, extremely anxious.

Besides the initial six or seven dragons, several more silver-white eyes opened in the darkness, rapidly approaching from a distance.

"Attack!"

The dozen or so children grew anxious. In-fighting was inappropriate now; the situation was worse than they had imagined. They could be slain by the young dragons at any moment.

In this world, once creatures evolve into dragons, phoenixes, or similar beings, they become exceptionally terrifying. Their bloodlines are immensely powerful, and their young are astonishingly talented, capable of fighting immediately after birth.

What's more, an ancient Celestial Dragon once resided here, whose power was profound. Even a single Heavenly Venerate might have been slaughtered upon arrival!

How could its descendants be weak?

Dragons are among the elite of countless species, possessing intimidatingly powerful combat abilities. In duels of the same level, they typically overwhelm and crush their opponents.

At once, the dozen or so children and the thirteen dragons engaged in a bloody battle. It wasn't long before blood was shed.

Chu Feng left the area. He advanced deeper into the dragon lair, having fortunately escaped the slaughter. Now he wanted to seek out fortune; there were too many good things in the dragon's den.

This was not the abandoned and desolate dragon lair on Earth, which had been thoroughly plundered in ancient times. This was the Yang Realm, and dragons had continuously resided here, so there must be astonishing divine treasures!

He pushed his way into the mountain's core. The dragon's den was simply too vast. The further he went, the more suspicious he became. Could this place be a self-contained spatial world? Otherwise, how could he walk so far without reaching an end?

Along the way, he saw some small trees, crimson as blood, bearing vibrantly red and succulent fruits. The aroma of the fruit was incredibly enticing.

"The legendary Dragon Blood Grass has evolved into Dragon Blood Trees?!" Chu Feng's eyes widened in astonishment.

However, he currently couldn't consume the exotic fruits or evolve through them. In the Yang Realm, the study of evolution had reached an extreme level.

No child could prematurely come into contact with pollen or fruits, nor could they evolve through catalysts. They had to wait until after sixteen years old; some overly meticulous ancient families even required waiting until after eighteen.

The principles and reasons behind this were astonishing.

"I really want to eat them all!" Chu Feng drooled. The small trees, one after another, were no more than a meter tall, their fruits as large as a baby's fist, glowing crimson and resplendent.

"Kill!"

Shouts of battle came from behind, accompanied by dragon roars. Some of the children had broken through and were now pushing deeper inside.

The so-called tempering, besides the fighting, also required them to seek out their own opportunities, allowing a group of young prodigies to experience real and cruel various struggles.

Many benefits had been left here. After the Heavenly Venerates jointly defeated the ancient Celestial Dragon, they did not take away some of the corresponding opportunities.

Chu Feng's expression changed. He didn't linger here, ignoring the Dragon Blood Trees, and rushed directly towards the depths of the cave. Some fortunes could be enjoyed by children of his age group, so he had to seize the time.

Suddenly, Chu Feng caught a unique scent that made all his pores open up.

He moved by stepping on primal magnetic energy, with magnetic light surging, propelling him forward rapidly.

He was somewhat amazed that the dragon race chose to build their lairs on special terrains where primal magnetic energy could be harnessed, which was fortunate for him.

"Found it, what's that?!" He saw a small puddle, a foot square, containing only a single drop of white liquid, from which the scent emanated.

Soon, he noticed many dragon claw prints around the dry puddle. Many young dragons would typically come here.

"True Dragon Liquid?!" Chu Feng trembled.

If in a True Dragon Lair, this substance would be called True Dragon Liquid. Legend has it that adult dragons collected the essences of all things in heaven and earth, melted them, fermented them within the earth's veins, and then brewed this liquid, known as True Dragon Liquid.

Some also interpreted this substance as true dragon milk.

Although it wasn't milk, its effects were similar. This was a precious liquid used by true dragons to nourish their young, its value immeasurable.

It was said that once this True Dragon Liquid was consumed, the internal organs would glow and be nourished, the bone marrow could even be replaced, and one's physique would be greatly enhanced.

How did young dragons become so powerful? It was precisely because they consumed this True Dragon Liquid, making their flesh tough, impervious to blades and spears, terrifyingly formidable.

Chu Feng's eyes immediately reddened. Although these were Western-style dragons, they were still a branch of the dragon race on the path of evolution, so the liquid they brewed would naturally have similar effects.

"These dragon cubs must have already eaten and drunk their fill, but knowing outsiders were coming, they decisively drank everything clean!" He sighed deeply.

"Huh, wait!"

Suddenly, he remembered a rumor: this dragon liquid was collected by adult dragons, who gathered the essences of all things in heaven and earth, buried them in the earth's veins, fermented them, and brewed the liquid until it naturally surged to the surface when mature.

"Although it's drunk dry, I think there might still be some underground!"

Thinking of this, Chu Feng plunged headfirst into the foot-square puddle, not minding its dry state. He opened his mouth to take in the single drop of silver true liquid, then frantically dug downwards, rushing into the earth!
