lizard lord

257 Three Years
Three years later, Karak Solma.

"How's the progress this month?"

"Everything is as usual. The kobolds are expanding the dungeon in an orderly manner. The new area has been developed. Next, the lizardmen and dwarves will cut and carry stones to reinforce it." Toby talked to Tang Zhao respectfully.

Three years is not a long time for creatures in this world, especially for Tang Zhao. The time of dormant evolution accounts for almost half of it, and the remaining time feels extremely short.

Although there were occasional frictions with the protozoa, hobgoblins and orcs in the Yongwang Mountains during this period, it was generally peaceful. Tang Zhao also took advantage of this unprecedented time to undergo two evolutions, greatly improving A lot of their own ability.

The most obvious is of course the change in appearance. His body has grown several times compared to before. With a length of nearly 20 meters, he can not lose in hand-to-hand combat when facing all kinds of adult dragons.

The previous body shape is actually quite perfect, and now there are only some minor adjustments on the whole, for example, the hind legs have become thicker, the width of the claws has increased, and several cones have appeared on the teeth, which are specially used to break thick shells, etc. Etc. All in all, he is now better suited for dealing with enemies of the same size, rather than hunting those "small animals".

In the two evolutions, he brought the parts of the dragon into it, hoping to gain the ability to fly or at least glide. In fact, it is not contrary to his wishes. He obtained some prerequisites, such as bones with optimized weight.

Although they belong to different camps, both the black dragon and the silver dragon obviously admit that the other is a noble and powerful dragon like themselves, which is fundamentally different from most other species. For this reason, the silver dragon will not take the initiative to gnaw In her opinion, the meat of such a giant dragon is somewhat contrary to the morality of the dragon. She only took some scales and blood, and then took away most of the treasures in Darlan's treasure house. Everything below, including the original territory of the black dragon, is considered to be given to Tang Zhao. Anyway, only the lizardmen want to live in the swamp.

Tang Zhao has nothing to complain about this arrangement, not to mention the territory, the dragon and the whale are similar creatures, and they can also produce the so-called "whale fall".

Blood, flesh, scales, bones. The whole body is a treasure. Opportunities to obtain body parts of giant dragons are rare, and there are countless researchers willing to bid.

To be honest, Tang Zhao, like most creatures, is more against eating "talking meat", but the value of the meat of the giant dragon is too high, and the two sides also go through the law of the jungle, and the winner will be determined after fighting. From this point of view The problem, Tang Zhao can be considered to be able to speak with peace of mind, it took a long time before and after eating the giant dragon, it can be regarded as having accumulated enough energy for evolution, and even rich.

During this process, Tang Zhao was also able to study the body of the giant dragon and explore the reason why this creature is so powerful. Although he still didn't understand it, he made some progress. For example, he understood the skeleton of the giant dragon. It is partly hollow, similar to a bird. It reduces weight while ensuring strength. This is an important reason why they can fly. Tang Zhao inherited this ability from the giant dragon.

A small amount of weight was sacrificed, and the impact force was slightly reduced, but the flexibility was enhanced more. He thought it was a good deal. He felt uncomfortable when he was hit by a creature of the same size. Hard resistance is not as cost-effective as dodge.

He didn't really mind growing a pair of claws or a tail. Anyway, he was no longer human, and it didn't matter if he had a few more parts, but he didn't get a similar type of enhancement either.

Another obvious evolution is that he can speak, and he has transformed his oral structure like the dragon. To be honest, he doesn't understand why the dragon's forked tongue and oral structure can also produce complex syllables, but he can do it. Tang Zhao now finally does not need to communicate with psychic energy, and can speak normally.

Thanks to this, he feels that he has become a chatterbox for a long time because of his freshness, and he often likes to talk to various creatures.

For him, the most important changes were internal—reinforced cardiopulmonary and circulatory functions and enhanced magical abilities.

The former is very important to him. Although it has been strengthened before, he still needs to waste a lot of time basking in the sun to heat his body, so that his body will not be sluggish, and he can gain enough mobility. It is now partially immune to this.

The extant reptiles with scales in the previous life were basically temperature-changing animals, which are called cold-blooded animals by the public, but there have been a few lizards that have partially recovered the ability to maintain a constant body temperature. According to research, there is a high probability that it also has a constant body temperature. Giant dragons, which look like reptiles with scales, are warm-blooded animals like humans.

Without fully inheriting this ability, Tang Zhao would still feel a little smoother in his movements after basking in the sun, but it is not impossible to completely isolate himself from sunlight, which is a huge improvement.

In fact, Tang Zhao's positioning of himself is more of a "sci-fi" creature, because most of the time, he uses minions, thorns, acid and other explainable means to attack the enemy, unlike some "fantasy" creatures. Like a living creature, he can make himself full of fire and summon a storm and thunder. Even if he has magical ability, he can only use it on some occasions. The reason is that the magical ability is not enough to deal with the enemy, like the magic of Darlan's dragon. His immunity is stronger than his own, and his immunity to psionic energy is also extremely strong, so if he uses Tang Zhao's ability against him, he will be backlashed.

But now after two evolutions, this part of the ability has more or less stronger actual combat effects, making him more in line with the concept of magical creatures.

Slightly raised his paws, concentrated his attention a little, and successfully drove the fine stones under his paws to float up into the sky. This is the performance of his spiritual power being strengthened. It has changed back to the level that can be used in actual combat.

Leaving aside things like taking things from space, he can also move himself now and make himself float in the air for a short time, but his weight is really impressive. If the meat mountain weighing dozens of tons does not shrink, there is no way at all. Circumstances determine float time.

It's not as satisfactory, but at least with the air-to-air means, if you encounter similar enemies again, you won't be staring at them in the ground. Relying on eagles and falcons is too uncertain, and it's easy to be targeted. Only you have this ability. The most reliable.
