Dragon Tamer
Chapter 968 - Chapter 968 Chapter 972 The Dragon that Changes Teeth

Chapter 968: Chapter 972: The Dragon that Changes Teeth Chapter 968: Chapter 972: The Dragon that Changes Teeth Although constantly adorned with stars and moon, braving the wind and dew, what truly satisfied Zhu Minglang the most was his ever-bulging wallet.

Outside Mount Fu Chen, the vast Ancient Mountain was incredibly rich. Due to the Nothingness Fog that isolated it, wildlife thrived untrammeled, untouched by human presence. Despite the presence of powerful and terrifying Demon Gods and Demon Lords roaming around, weren’t they also Zhu Minglang’s prey?

Zhu Minglang hadn’t practiced like this for a long time. Indeed, a Dragon Shepherd was more suited to be a wild man, leveling up and slaying beasts alone. Teammates? Unnecessary. The millennia-old mountain fruits and wild delicacies were everywhere to be seen, and Holy Spirits and God Demons were like the wild beasts of the mountains. With a little more time, even better finds could be discovered!

Ancient Mountain, in a word, “irresistible”!

Had he known how fertile this place was, he would have come here back when he was at the Dragon Taming Academy… Fortune comes with danger, he believed that as long as one could survive and come out alive, one would definitely be invincible in the world.

“It’s just ahead,” said Cai You, whose five senses were extremely keen, especially her vision, hearing, and sense of smell.

Her God Clan resided in the Primordial Forest, and her home, Purple Star Village, was also home to many God Hunters. Cai You was particularly skilled at tracking ancient species.

The Spirit Glowing Dragon could find those Spirit Veins rich in Spirit Roots, and Cai You could track powerful ancient species. As a result, everywhere Zhu Minglang went, not a blade of grass was left behind–it was all scavenged thoroughly!

At this moment, they were tracking an Ancestor Mammoth, a fierce and brutal creature. The first time Zhu Minglang and Cai You saw it, it was barging into a spirit cave, killing a Saint Forest Blue Tiger that resided there, not sparing even a single cub, trampling them all to death.

Zhu Minglang planned to hunt it down to provide meat for his Refining Ash Black Dragon whose Cultivation Base was skyrocketing. Big Black Tooth’s appetite had increased greatly recently, and the previous meat reserves were hardly sufficient.

“There is a lake ahead. It probably went there to drink,” Cai You said.

Zhu Minglang nodded.

After passing through the woods and arriving at a small lake, they had expected to see the felonious Ancestor Mammoth, but instead found only a mutilated corpse.

The corpse was huge, almost half the size of the small lake. Its blood was slowly flowing into the lake, turning the clear water red.

In the lake, there was a Holy Spirit Lizard that had been cultivating for seventy to eighty thousand years, but it dared to show only half of its head. Clearly, it had been frightened by the scene that had occurred not long ago.

“The Ancestor Mammoth is dead??” Zhu Minglang exclaimed in surprise.

“But we’ve been tracking it all the way here, and there don’t seem to be any signs of a fight,” Cai You said as she stepped forward to carefully inspect the surroundings.

Zhu Minglang glanced at the Holy Spirit Lizard in the water that had been scared out of its wits, then back at the Ancestor Mammoth’s neck wound.

A fatal blow, and the mutilation likely occurred after death due to being torn and scratched.

“Seems like the perpetrator found the taste of Ancestor Mammoth’s flesh unsatisfactory, nibbled a bit, and then lost interest,” Cai You said.

“The fellow that attacked the Ancestor Mammoth is very strong. Is there a way to track it?” Zhu Minglang asked.

The Ancient Mountain might be fertile, but the rules here were equally brutal. Being as powerful as the Ancestor Mammoth and still falling prey to another was a sad plight indeed–the killer didn’t even find its victim tasty!

It had to be said, the creature that attacked the Ancestor Mammoth was quite capricious.

“There aren’t many traces left, and it seems to be a creature I’m not very familiar with,” Cai You said.

“Let me have a look,” Zhu Minglang said as he joined Cai You, first examining the most fatal wound on the Ancestor Mammoth.

The Ancestor Mammoth… in plain terms, was an elephant spirit. How thick must its neck be, and what level of predator could deliver a one-hit fatal blow to an Ancestor Mammoth?

“Like a dragon,” Zhu Minglang said.

From the bite marks, it’s very likely that the Ancestor Mammoth was killed by a member of the Dragon Clan!

In any ecosystem, dragons are apex predators, and in some less developed forests, wild beasts and mythical creatures fear dragons.

Similarly, in the Sacred Forest of Ancient Mountain, creatures like Demon Gods, Demon Lords, and Sacred Beasts likewise fear dragons, since those that inhabit such environments tend to be Ancestral Dragons, Holy Dragons, Emperor Dragons…

These are all Dragon Nobility!

“Our God, I found this in its wounds,” Cai You said, holding a crescent short blade, and she picked out an embedded tooth from the flesh.

It was found on the back of the Ancestor Mammoth, a silver-white saber tooth!

“This tooth is so intact, it doesn’t look like it broke off,” Zhu Minglang mused, stroking his chin as he analyzed the find, “This silver-white saber tooth obviously fell from that dragon, and it’s completely intact, even the root shows no sign of damage.”

“If it didn’t fall off during a fight, then it must have dropped out on its own!”

“If it fell out on its own…”

At that point, Zhu Minglang’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Cai You, standing by his side, could clearly see Zhu Minglang’s expression changing from serious to gradually bursting with joy!

“Our God, what does it imply if it fell out on its own?” Cai You asked, following his lead.

“It’s a young dragon that hasn’t reached adulthood yet. It’s shedding its teeth!” Zhu Minglang declared.

“It’s so powerful even before reaching adulthood??” Cai You exclaimed, her eyes widening in surprise.

“That’s why this dragon is worth tracking!” Zhu Minglang’s interest was piqued. As he spoke, he patted his back to knock on Mr. Jinli’s door, “Mr. Jinli, Mr. Jinli, stop sleeping, come out and see what kind of dragon this tooth belongs to.”

Mr. Jinli was obviously hibernating, and he came out quite reluctantly, his fish eyes devoid of any spirit.

“Are you crazy? Even if I were the most knowledgeable, I couldn’t possibly know what kind of dragon it comes from just by looking at a tooth… Wait, where did you get this tooth??” Mr. Jinli’s speech halted midway, as his body suddenly tensed up.

Gone was the dead fish aura, and Mr. Jinli stood up in the air, touching his fish whiskers with his short fins, adopting a scholarly air as he continued, “This tooth is so special. Where is the owner of this tooth? This is a good dragon, absolutely a good dragon!”

“It just killed an Ancestor Mammoth, perhaps it didn’t find the taste to its liking while feeding, or it might be changing teeth and lost its appetite. Either way, we found this saber tooth in the wounds of the Ancestor Mammoth,” Zhu Minglang explained.

“Do you know what kind of dragon this is!” Mr. Jinli said.

“Isn’t that what I am consulting you for? And you’re asking me?”

“Didn’t you notice I was expressing amazement, not asking a question??” Mr. Jinli rolled his fish eyes.

“So what kind of dragon is it? An incredible dragon, is it? Is it on your dragon list?” Zhu Minglang inquired.

“I didn’t include it in your Dragon Trainer capture list at all, because this kind of dragon is simply impossible to encounter!” Mr. Jinli exclaimed, becoming excited.
