Dragon Tamer
Chapter 963 - Chapter 963 Chapter 967 Pine Immortal

Chapter 963: Chapter 967 Pine Immortal Chapter 963: Chapter 967 Pine Immortal After a hearty meal, Zhu Minglang resumed his deep-mountain dragon training.

By now, Zhu Minglang already had a complete set of dragon-taming techniques, and if he wanted a dragon to grow up as quickly as possible, it was necessary to train the dragon on its own.

Designating an opponent and a goal, to be completed without the assistance of any other dragons. It’s like a disciple descending the mountain to practice. One cannot always live under the protection of a master. One must face formidable enemies alone.

Zhu Minglang began exclusive training with the Little Gold Dragon and the Peach Demon Deer Dragon. These two rascals, always under the care of their older brothers and sisters, had reached King Level in their cultivation bases, but their combat abilities left much to be desired. Even when Zhu Minglang let them out to hunt, the Nuwa Dragon would always need to follow closely.

Zhu Minglang decided to become a strict dragon parent, taking advantage of this excellent wilderness environment.

The Little Gold Dragon was naturally combative and unyielding. What it sought was not just dominance in the Baby Dragon Park but also to rule the Star Sea. It would specifically target old demons with much higher cultivation bases, and although initially it would not fare well, the Little Gold Dragon would not be discouraged.

There was one thing very impressive about the Little Gold Dragon that made Zhu Minglang quite fond of it.

That was its competitiveness without recklessness. If it encountered an opponent it couldn’t beat at first, it chose to retreat and even to flee, leading the enemy to believe the Little Gold Dragon had panicked and run away. Then like a cunning little hunter, it would follow and observe the enemy’s habits seriously, looking for weaknesses.

Extremely crafty and never burdened by the bloodline of the Golden Gleam Azure Dragon. If it couldn’t beat something, it just ran, then used various methods to weaken and torment the enemy. It could flee seven times, ten times, but as long as it killed the enemy in the end, it was the victor!

“Owooooo~~~~~~~~”

The Little Gold Dragon let out a howl like that of a desert wolf, slinking through the dense treetops as swiftly and agilely as a jungle Golden Python.

On the ground, a Demi-god Demon Wolf sprinted, its back and head bearing bite and claw wounds, all courtesy of the Little Gold Dragon.

Initially, the Demi-god Demon Wolf had overwhelmed the Little Gold Dragon, leaving it with no chance to retaliate, but after three days of dodging around, the Little Gold Dragon had now started pursuing the Demi-god Demon Wolf.

The Demi-god Demon Wolf turned its body and cast a fierce glance at the Little Gold Dragon in the tree canopy.

Suddenly, the Demi-god Demon Wolf opened its mouth and spat a mouthful of toxic fire liquid at the Little Gold Dragon, instantly igniting the treetops and forming a terrible poison fire curse. Like red spider webs, it covered the canopy of the jungle.

The Little Gold Dragon was hit by the toxic fire and immediately turned to run, swiftly vanishing into the thicket of the forest.

Taking the opportunity, the Demi-god Demon Wolf fled into a valley made up of numerous cliffs and crags with complex terrain and countless caves. Massive pine trees could be seen, swaying their bodies occasionally, like ancient giants.

As the Demi-god Demon Wolf passed the Valley Spring River, it purposely jumped into the icy Spring River to wash away the scent on its body before soaking wet, it headed for its hidden cave.

It initially thought to consume a purebred Golden Gleam Azure Dragon to take a step closer to becoming a true Wolf God. Little did it know it was laid siege by a crafty and utterly shameless Azure Dragon. After several days, the Demi-god Demon Wolf had been worn out by the enemy and ultimately had to give up on this Azure Dragon.

Although there was some reluctance, continuing to fight against the opponent would just be a waste of time.

Shaking off its wet fur, the Demi-god Demon Wolf walked into its dry den, then lay down on a bed covered with silver fox pelts and began to close its eyes to recuperate.

Not long after, the Demi-god Demon Wolf fell asleep, unaware of something wriggling beneath the thick layer of silver fox pelts.

Scales of gold peeked through, followed by a body slender yet full of power, reminiscent of a Golden Python that had meditated for countless years inside the cave, especially when that crafty aura was so easily dismissed in the presence of majestic Dragon Horns, gleaming Dragon Muscles, and five-toed claws…

The Little Gold Dragon moved noiselessly, suddenly wrapping its body around the Demi-god Demon Wolf, and tightly constricting the strongest part around the Demi-god Demon Wolf’s neck!

The Demi-god Demon Wolf woke up abruptly, flailing its limbs desperately to break free from the Golden Dragon’s deadly hold, but the Little Gold Dragon had entwined it perfectly, and was facing it, spewing out a jet of golden Dragon Flame directly!

The blast of Dragon’s Flame caused the Demi-god Demon Wolf’s face to fester. It howled in pain, unable to make much sound as its neck was tightly constricted!

Before long, the body of the Demi-god Demon Wolf began to stiffen.

“Gack!!”

Finally, the Demi-god Demon Wolf’s neck was broken. It fell limp all over, collapsing within its den, the place where it felt safest.

“Owooooo~~~~~~~”

The Little Gold Dragon had finally achieved victory, letting out a prolonged howl as if to proclaim it to the whole world.

Soon after, Zhu Minglang walked in, glanced at the defeated Demi-god Demon Wolf, and couldn’t help but stroke his chin, pondering over a question.

Where had the Little Gold Dragon learned this shameless fighting style?

The Nuwa Dragon was clearly a very upright teacher who did not like to play mind games and was quite straightforward and kind.

“This reward is for you,” Zhu Minglang said with resignation as he took out an Azure Dragon God Soul Pearl and added a Fog Ginseng Fruit to it.

The Little Gold Dragon was very happy, gulping down the two treasures in one shot, almost bursting its organs due to the overpowering energy of the Spirit Root.

Zhu Minglang hurriedly used his intention to guide the spiritual energies of these two precious items, dispersing them to other parts of the Little Gold Dragon, the Dragon Horns, Dragon Claws, Dragon Tail…

“Don’t think about becoming a big fat dragon in one bite. You need to even out your other abilities. The first time you fought the Demi-god Demon Dragon, it tore through your dragon scales quite easily. If it weren’t for your quick escape, you would have been done for. Now focus, and properly guide what you’ve eaten toward your dragon scales and muscles, ensuring that the toughness of your own scales is your first priority,” Zhu Minglang said.

The Little Gold Dragon was eager to join the grand battles and hoped to ascend to Dragon God as quickly as possible, to ride into battle alongside his older brothers and sisters.

“After digesting these two Spiritual Objects, you should be able to reach the Demi-god Level. Go back and have a good sleep first; next up is Yaoyao’s special training!” Zhu Minglang said.

The Little Gold Dragon flew around Zhu Minglang several times, not forgetting to lick his cheek, smearing Zhu Minglang’s face with its drool.

Lively, mischievous, and eager to fight, the Little Gold Dragon has been this way since its birth.

The Peach Demon Deer Dragon, kind-hearted and spiritual, a bit timid yet very persistent with things it clings to, had a temperament very close to that of the Nuwa Dragon. It mostly took the Nuwa Dragon as a role model, learning some ancient spells.

Being of the Wood attribute and also adept at some mind Divine Skills, the Peach Demon Deer Dragon also had some knowledge of revival and healing. With comparatively high aptitude, Zhu Minglang rarely subjected it to special training, after all, with the Nuwa Dragon teaching, the role of a Dragon Shepherd like Zhu Minglang was indeed obsolete.

This time, Zhu Minglang’s special training for the Peach Demon Deer Dragon was to have it command all the Pine Immortals in the entire valley.

The Pine Immortals were those mammoth living pines; no one knew how many millennia they had inhabited this valley. Each Pine Immortal possessed Spiritual Sense and mastered some special Demon Arts.

“Hoho~~~~~~~”

As soon as the Peach Demon Deer Dragon stepped into the cliff area where the Pine Immortals were clustered, it heard them bursting into waves of mocking laughter.

Their voices sounded like hundreds of old men laughing together, akin to self-righteous elders in a family, ready to nitpick your life!

“No… do not… do not laugh,” said the Peach Demon Deer Dragon in a way that was identical to the Nuwa Dragon’s. It was diligently learning human language but, like the Nuwa Dragon, it only spoke very simple sounds and wasn’t fluent in speech.

The Peach Demon Deer Dragon’s voice was also child-like, innocent like that of a five or six-year-old girl, and shivering with timidness. No matter how determined the Peach Demon Deer Dragon was to subdue the Pine Immortals, hearing its cute and innocent voice made them laugh even more uncontrollably!

“Don’t underestimate… don’t underestimate me!” the Peach Demon Deer Dragon huffed.

It leaped, and where it tread, a slew of flowers and vines immediately grew, sprawling in groups along the face of the cliff, starting to squeeze the Pine Immortals’ living space.

The Pine Immortals were not fully rooted in the rock face; they could pull out their roots, which turned into huge footpads, striding from one end of the cliff to the other like long-legged giants.

The Pine Immortals seemed to be mocking the Peach Demon Deer Dragon as they trekked back and forth across the cliff face; no spell the Peach Demon Deer Dragon casted seemed to have any effect, and it wasn’t adept at techniques with high destructive power.

“Ho ho ho ho~~~~~~~”

The Pine Immortals continued to taunt the Peach Demon Deer Dragon, even congregating on the same cliff face, linking arms like a group of old men, their treetops shaking wildly as they laughed.

Brimming with frustration, the Peach Demon Deer Dragon looked to Zhu Minglang, who was nearby, patiently telling it that to defeat such thick-skinned enemies, it couldn’t always use the same method; it needed to find the right approach.

Demons were all cunning. Zhu Minglang still remembered the Rat Demon from over nine hundred years ago, which almost resulted in a complete loss for the young students of the Dragon Taming Academy.

Although these Pine Immortals couldn’t compare in wisdom to demon beasts, they still had their own survival skills and had to hit their weak spot to instill fear and submission.

“Didn’t we see a Spring River when we came to this valley?” Zhu Minglang said.

“Yaoyao!” The Peach Demon Deer Dragon nodded, lifting its little deer face and contemplating seriously.

“We haven’t seen these kinds of Pine Immortals anywhere else, only this valley is home to a group of them. The peculiar Spring River must be what allowed them to attain immortality here. You can go up to the upper reaches of the Valley Spring River and have a look,” Zhu Minglang suggested.

Immediately understanding, the Peach Demon Deer Dragon leaped nimbly between the cliffs of the valley. Its seemingly delicate form always managed to unleash incredible power and speed…

It headed towards the source of the Spring River. When the Pine Immortals saw where the Peach Demon Deer Dragon was headed, they showed signs of panic, quickly positioning themselves like strict guards on either side of the cliff edge. They whipped their massive branches around, like terrifying tree claws, trying to smack the Peach Demon Deer Dragon down!
