Udi's dragon claw pressed against Brook's head as Brook charged forward, feeling Heloise launching a sneak attack from behind without expression.
The long tail behind whipped fiercely across Heloise's dragon cheek.
Heloise charged at them.
Heloise fell and couldn't get up.
Brook's eyes flashed slyly while Udi pinned his head down with a dragon claw, suddenly wrapping his tail around one of Udi's dragon legs, then, amid his unconcealed victorious expression, gave it a fierce yank!
Udi's body moved slightly from the pull, then stopped.
Slowly lowering his head to see the incredulous expression in Dragon Brother Brook's eyes, Udi grinned and fiercely slammed a head against his skull.
Dragon Brother Brook was knocked dizzy to the ground.
"Too weak in strength! Too slow in speed! Like you're guys, I could fight ten!" Udi mockingly said to the Dragon Brother and Long Mei lying on the ground.
Of course, ten is a bit exaggerated; five might actually be possible.
Udi squinted at Dragon Brother and Long Mei as they grew from newly born bodies of only 2.4 meters to nearly 2.6 meters in length now, secretly marveling.
No wonder they are giant dragons.
The strength and size grow so quickly.
Just one banquet doesn't quite open the gap.
In this battle, Udi basically used all his strength, and as time goes by, if they grow normally, the gap between Udi and the two Dragon Brother and Long Mei will become smaller and smaller.
What a pity....
"The Second Banquet is about to begin...." A trace of anticipation and desire lay in the depths of Udi's eyes.
There's still three days left, then the Banquet cooldown will be over.
"Opening the Banquet requires consuming a large amount of food, I must prepare in advance." Udi pondered.
He glanced at the place where the Black Dragon Maiden was sleeping deep in the Dragon Nest, feeling somewhat depressed.
Since the birth of Udi and his two siblings, the Black Dragon Maiden has only provided food twice.
The first time was a Level 5 Demon Swamp Demon Shark, and the second time was just a beast, named Muscle Barbarian Bull.
Beasts, demons, ferocious types.
These are the three most common types of creatures.
Among them, beasts are the weakest in strength, and also have the lowest nutritional value; a Muscle Barbarian Bull weighing over three tons doesn't have the nutrition of a few hundred pounds of Level 5 Demon Swamp Demon Shark blood and flesh.
The three small dragonlings in dire need of nutritional growth swallowed the whole Muscle Barbarian Bull, skin and bones, within one day.
And until now, it has been ten days since they ate the Muscle Barbarian Bull.
"When will the Black Dragon Maiden hunt next?" Udi worriedly thought.
Udi not only worries about the hunting time of the Black Dragon Maiden but also the quality of the hunted prey.
If it's still a beast like the Muscle Barbarian Bull, then Udi doubts that even if he monopolizes the whole thing, it might not be enough to complete the progress of the Second Banquet.
After all, during the First Banquet, Udi consumed more than half of the Swamp Demon Shark's flesh and his eggshell to complete it.
And each time, the requirement for the Banquet is getting more as Udi's strength increases.
"No, waiting like this is not a solution." Udi began to rack his brains.
Even thinking optimistically, in a few days, the Black Dragon Maiden brings back prey not inferior to the Swamp Demon Shark, it might still be tricky to share some blood and flesh with Heloise and Brook and complete the Second Banquet unless Udi monopolizes it.
Although there is no so-called familial affection between evil dragons, nor does the Black Dragon Maiden care about them competing for the right to hunt the prey
But this is optimistic thinking, the premise is still that the Black Dragon Maiden can bring back high-quality prey; if she can't....
"Must I attempt hunting now?" Udi was a bit conflicted.
The outside world is indeed quite dangerous for a dragonling.
If possible, Udi would want to wait until the biological level reaches Level 3 before going out to attempt hunting.
The biological level from 0 to Level 4 falls within the low-level demon range.
But a Level 3 black dragonling will obviously be stronger than an ordinary Level 3 demon. Furthermore, after a banquet enhancing his body, Udi will be even stronger than ordinary dragonlings of the same tier.
Near the Black Dragon Maiden's Dragon Nest, powerful creatures are either hunted by the Black Dragon Maiden or taken as followers; usually, you don't see wild Middle-level Demons or stronger creatures.
Hence, in Udi's plan, when his biological level increases to Level 3, he will have the qualification to hunt safely near the Dragon Nest.
"Sigh, better wait a bit longer." Udi lay down next to the muddy pool again, looking bored.
If it doesn't work, just postpone the Second Banquet for a while; after all, he can control the opening and closing of the Banquet and won't be consumed by the endless hunger losing his reason.
Of course, Udi actually has a last resort not to go out hunting to avoid the risk of hunting and without considering the Black Dragon Maiden's face to complete the Second Banquet....
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
With Udi's watchful eye, the cooldown of the Second Banquet reset to zero.
The Banquet can begin.
Udi glanced around the vast nest, looking at the circularly curled-up sleeping Long Mei Heloise, at the upside-down sleeping Dragon Brother Brook, and at the Black Dragon Maiden still lying on the treasure sleeping soundly in the depths of the nest.....
"It seems I still have to rely on myself." Udi shook his head, feeling the hungry belly, finally making up his mind.
He carefully got up, then made his way outside the nest.
Found a secluded corner not easily discovered.
Staring at the damp black soil, Udi took a deep breath and silently muttered commencement of the Banquet in his heart.
Raging hunger spread into every cell of Udi's body.
Udi fiercely bit into the ground, swallowing a large chunk of black soil into his stomach.
That's right, Udi's last resort was eating dirt.
He ate for a solid two hours; Udi had no idea how many tons of black soil he'd swallowed; just eating was all that mattered.
All the black soil consumed by Udi transformed into special energy under the effects of the Banquet in a very short time, which is why Udi could consume such a huge amount of black soil without bursting.
80%....85%....96%.....99%...
100%!
When the Banquet's progress reached 100%, Udi's rationality finally returned.
Still within that seemingly boundless, void-like world.
Udi watched himself grow stronger as if he were a spectator.
Cells dividing more, their strength increasing, muscles becoming more numerous and resilient, most importantly, the scales became much thicker.
After a day, Udi woke up.
The first time upon awakening, Udi felt the current condition of his body.
[Udi: Biological Level 2 → Level 3, Professional Level None.] (Body length 3.03m → 3.25m)
[Life Force: 3.6 → 4.1]
[Current Banquet Level: 2 layers]
[Banquet Cooldown Time: Thirty Days]
The inherent talent of a giant dragon allows Udi to clearly perceive subtle changes in his body, although the panel is more explicit.
"Body length increased by 22cm, Life Force increased by 0.5." Udi muttered to himself, somewhat surprised and also a bit disappointed.
The enhancement effect from the Banquet diminished.
Why is this?!
Could it be because this time's Banquet food was dirt?
