I, Valon, am frantically searching for my mother.

After several rounds of trying, and realizing that Lina couldn't possibly become the soft, fragrant second-layer green mom mark in a short time, Wayne finally gave up.

Wayne felt he would never experience joy again.

I'm very disappointed; he won't have a new mother anytime soon.

He declared that his sister was a complete idiot!

Why can't she be refined by him in one go and then obediently become his younger brother's mark?

"Alright, alright, since you don't want to, let's leave it at that for now!"

Wayne waved his hand sullenly, then casually took back a few more of the ores he had just given to Lina.

"Hey! What are you doing!"

Seeing Wayne's outstretched claws, Lina instantly bristled, her barely recovered energy returning.

"Consolation money."

Wayne snorted defiantly, then waved at Lina.

"Alright, sister, I'm leaving now."

Seeing that Wayne was actually starting to pack his things and prepare to leave the lair, Anna couldn't help but feel a little impatient.

"Wait! Little brother... are you still leaving?"

Anna called out to Wayne.

"Mommy...Mommy has missed you so much these past few days! I've spent hours every day watching where you are!"

"Hey little brother, don't be angry anymore because Mom kicked you out of the nest. Mom has always cared about you."

Upon hearing this, Wayne couldn't help but be startled.

It wasn't because Tia's mother had been concerned about him; he already knew about this a long time ago.

What truly surprised him was that his sister Lina would actually persuade him to stay in the dragon's lair.

This is too fierce! Is this still the same Five-Colored Dragon that represents our brotherly love and respect?

"Sister, you actually tried to persuade me to stay?"

Wayne couldn't help but say:

"This isn't like you at all!"

"Heh...hehehe..."

Lina forced an awkward laugh, her claws unconsciously digging into the rocks on the ground, making a teeth-grinding scraping sound.

"Little brother... what are you saying? Sister... of course I've always cared about you!"

care?

That would be truly bizarre.

She didn't want to be with her cunning, twisted younger brother who liked to act like her mother all the time.

She had only one purpose in persuading Wayne to stay.

She's going to tell on him and make Wayne get a good beating.

When Lina tried to persuade him to stay, Wayne simply sighed.

"Sigh, let me think about it carefully first. As for staying... let's talk about it later."

After learning that Tia's mother had not given up on him, Wayne considered whether to stay in the dragon's lair and stay by Tia's mother's side until he reached adulthood before leaving.

Unlike other creatures that require arduous training, dragons do not need to cultivate like ascetics to become stronger. As long as they live long enough, their strength will naturally snowball.

But Wayne is different.

Waiting to come of age?

That would be too low a cost-performance ratio for Wayne.

It takes about a hundred years for a cub to grow into an adult. If we're optimistic, at the rate that it recognizes a mother every year, it can accumulate a hundred layers in a hundred years.

If Wayne's luck isn't too bad, then he should be able to collect 12 different types of "Mom" marks within these 100 floors.

In other words, if all goes well, a hundred years would be enough for Wayne to conquer the world.

Moreover, the former Wayne might have been afraid of encountering accidents outside due to insufficient strength.

But now, with the speed of the Rabbit Charm and the invisibility of the Snake Charm, even if he encounters an adult dragon, Wayne can simply pat his butt and disappear instantly!

Ah, forget it.

If that doesn't work, go out and gain experience for a year first. If things don't go well, you can always come back and ask Tia's mom for help.

Thinking of this, Wayne took something out of his pocket and put it into Lina's paw.

"Sister, give this to Mom."

"Then I told her that I might be gone for a year at most. I told her not to worry too much about me, and that I would be back in a year."

"Well, I'll try my best."

Lina lifted her eyelids slightly, took the things Wayne handed her without much reaction, and only smiled after Wayne returned the two pieces of ore that he had just snatched from her.

"Don't worry, little brother, I will definitely pass on your message."

Wayne sighed.

Sigh, I guess I'll have to hope.

Although he felt his older sister was a bit unreliable, Wayne had another important matter to attend to right now...

……

On the other side, the battlefield is between two giant dragons.

The sky is no longer the sky, but a torn canvas.

The emerald green poisonous fog and the deep blue lightning collided wildly in the air, each collision creating shockwaves powerful enough to flatten mountains.

Tia Gris, the lord of the forest, was now like a moving emerald mountain, each flap of her wings causing a storm.

On the opposite side, Angelina was not to be outdone. Her swift blue dragon was like a deep blue lightning bolt, leaping between the clouds and treetops, each dive accompanied by lightning that could pierce through the clouds.

"Roar—! You despicable green-skinned lizard!"

Angelina's roar was accompanied by a thick bolt of lightning striking down.

"Where did your little rascal son take my precious daughter?! She's my property! My investment! You owe me my gold coins!"

Tia did not dodge; her thick scales took the hit head-on, and the charred skin peeled off, revealing an even colder green underneath.

She opened her enormous mouth and spewed out a thick, asphalt-like acid, forcing Angelina back while letting out a piercing shriek:

"Pah! You dare mention your wretched daughter?"

Tia's voice was filled with her mother's anger.

"It was clearly your shameless little vixen who went and seduced my little god!"

"Ha, you want to be my daughter-in-law? Dream on!"

My son is meant to help me conquer the world, so he won't be dragged down to his death by trashy blue dragons like you burdened with high-interest loans!

That's all there is to say.

The two mothers were now completely enraged, having forgotten almost everything else.

The next second, the two massive bodies collided violently once again!

Gone are the fancy breath-splitting exchanges; this is just the most primitive and savage hand-to-hand combat!

"Thump—!!!"

The massive impact of flesh struck the ground like a war drum, shaking the forest below and causing giant trees to collapse.

Tia's body, covered with thick bone plates, was like a mobile fortress. She used her broad back to withstand the impact of Angelina falling from the sky, and then suddenly swung her head, her huge mouth full of fangs biting hard at the other's neck!

"hiss--!"

Although Angelina was slightly slender, she was agile. With the agility unique to blue dragons, she dodged the fatal bite by turning to the side. Her strong hind legs extended sharp claws, which flashed with a blue light like lightning, and fiercely grabbed at Tia's soft abdomen!

"Snap!"

A piercing sound rang out, not from tearing flesh, but from Angelina's claws scraping against Tia's scales, which were like those forged from refined steel, sending sparks flying!
