Dragon Lord: Starting from the daily settlement

[Today's Settlement: Reborn from the brink of death, shedding the serpent's embryo, and ascending to the level of a half-dragon.]

[Evaluation: In the Bing category, one obtains a portion of the "meat-like" Tai Sui (a type of rare fungus), which, when consumed, can replenish qi and blood and strengthen the body.]

A cheat code? When did it come about?

Seeing the fleshy Tai Sui appear in his claws, Zhou Yan couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face.

Meat Tai Sui is a good thing for enhancing qi and blood and nourishing the body. With this, at least most of the deficiencies in one's body can be restored.

Looking at what he held in his hand, he couldn't help but feel a surge of hunger and wanted to swallow it whole.

Considering his current situation, he suppressed his hunger, put away the meat monster, turned around, and swam northward.

The north is the territory of the snake demons. Of course, Zhou Yan did not intend to return to his dragon palace. Going back now would be tantamount to exposing his information to those four demons, since the area is definitely full of their spies.

After swimming for a long time, they stopped outside the Dragon Palace in a place full of coral forests. Zhou Yan first observed the surroundings for a while, and seeing that no monsters appeared, he moved a few pieces of coral aside, revealing the hollow bottom underneath.

Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows. This hiding place was dug by the snake demon when it first arrived in Changming Marsh, so that it could hide when it encountered a powerful enemy in the future.

Unfortunately, the snake demon never got to use it until her death, which instead benefited Zhou Yan.

The space underneath was large enough for Zhou Yan to move around freely. After crawling inside and putting the coral back in its original position, he took the meaty jujube out again.

The fleshy Tai Sui was not large, only about the size of an average person's head, and was entirely reddish-brown.

Looking at this thing, Zhou Yan couldn't help but drool. Then, no longer suppressing his hunger, he opened his mouth and threw the meaty Tai Sui inside.

As soon as the meat oyster entered his mouth, a burst of intense energy was released, quickly engulfing Zhou Yan's entire body.

"Hmph~"

It was so warm and cozy that he couldn't help but lie down at the bottom and hum softly.

Close your eyes and slowly refine the medicinal power of the fleshy Tai Sui.

The sun rose and set, and before we knew it, it was noon the next day, with the golden sun high in the sky.

Beneath the coral, Zhou Yan slowly opened his eyes and let out a long howl.

The body's deficit has been recovered by 80%.

Feeling the vital energy within his body, a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes. This fleshy giant was indeed worthy of its reputation.

Then, it swayed its body, slowly moved upwards, pushed the coral aside, and emerged.

Am I growing up?

Feeling the slightly narrower opening compared to last night, Zhou Yan was somewhat surprised, and then turned his head to measure himself.

Sure enough, its current length has reached about eight meters, and its body is also one-third thicker than before.

Only when it grows back to about the same size as before will its injuries be fully healed.

A sudden realization dawned on him, and he restored the coral to its original state, then swam towards the distant Dragon Palace.

Among the original five demons of Changmingze, the snake demon, being an outsider, had served in the East Sea Dragon Palace and its cultivation was subtly stronger than the other four demons.

Although he hasn't recovered to his peak condition, his strength is about the same as those four demons.

If the four of them joined forces, Zhou Yan would naturally be no match for them. However, before Zhou Yan arrived, they had already been fighting for decades. Expecting them to unite would be like sitting in a well and looking at the sky.

…………

North of Changming Marsh, in the underwater Dragon Palace, a crocodile demon stood in the courtyard, holding a whip and viciously lashing a tortoise shell the size of a millstone.

"Slap, slap slap!"

The whip struck the tortoise shell, producing a thunderous sound.

"Tell me, where is this snake demon's treasure vault hidden?"

The crocodile demon was 2.5 meters tall and looked like a human. It had five distinct fingers on its hands, but its body was covered with a thick layer of scales. It had a crocodile head on its neck, and its face was full of ferocity and its eyes were full of greed.

"Speak up now, or I'll stew you up and eat you, you old turtle."

As he continued to whip the crocodile demon, the greed in his eyes grew ever stronger.

This snake demon is undergoing its tribulation ahead of time. With so many treasures in its possession, it must not have had time to hide them. The other three fools don't even dare to come over. How could that snake demon possibly survive this heavenly tribulation? This treasure is indeed destined for me.

This old tortoise was courting death; it simply wouldn't open its mouth.

"Let's stew it."

"Let's stew it!"

Nearby, a dozen or so crocodiles echoed the sentiment, their mouths practically watering as they looked at the old turtle.

"Crocodile demon, the Great King will not let you get away with this!"

At that moment, an old, angry voice came from inside the tortoise shell.

"Hahaha!"

The crocodile demon laughed loudly, as if it had heard a joke.

"You call yourself the King? Whether that snake demon can survive is another matter entirely. Even if he does survive, ask him if he'd dare to appear before me."

"If he dares to come, I guarantee I'll stew him and make snake soup."

"Make snake soup!"

"Make snake soup!"

……

The other crocodiles roared in unison, creating a powerful commotion.

"You?"

Just as the crocodile demon was about to continue whipping the old turtle, a cold voice suddenly rang out, followed by a water spear shooting towards him.

"Who is it?"

The crocodile demon's expression changed instantly, and he covered himself with both arms.

"Bang!"

The water spear struck the crocodile demon, knocking him back two or three meters, but it left no mark.

"Your Majesty~"

Sensing the familiar presence, the old tortoise immediately stretched out its penis from inside its shell and excitedly shouted towards the sky.

The crocodile demon also raised its gaze, following the old turtle's eyes.

Above them, a dark-colored serpent with a single horn on its head and two claws on its belly was coiled and twisting.

"Snake, snake demon, how could you possibly survive the heavenly tribulation?"

Upon seeing Zhou Yan, the crocodile demon looked as if it had seen a ghost, and said in disbelief.

"Did you come here intending to have a fight with me?"

As he swayed his body, Zhou Yan looked coldly at the crocodile demon below.

This crocodile demon has the strongest defense among the four demons, and it's really difficult for me to deal with it now.

"I……"

Looking at Zhou Yan's horn and claws, the crocodile demon hesitated for a moment.

Although the snake demon's size has shrunk compared to before, what's going on with these things?

Just as the crocodile demon hesitated, Zhou Yan gave him no time to react, opened his mouth, and shot out a stream of water.

Hit a punch to avoid a hundred punches.

Although his injuries have not fully recovered, he cannot show weakness at this time.

Only by adopting a desperate stance and letting these monsters know that they will pay a price to kill him will they hesitate and back down.

Only then will you have time to develop.

His own cheat ability was clearly of the development type; given time, these four demons were nothing more than withered bones in the valley.
