Chapter 4

“There are so many gems. I’ll take one and the smallest one that’s the least easily discovered.”

At this moment, Garen had already thrown away the thought of snatching his brother and sister’s eggshell.

The benefits of swallowing a gem were even more attractive than those eggshells.

The energy contained in the magic gem could allow a baby dragon to grow faster and pass the baby dragon stage that was easy to die young. Even ordinary gems had components that helped the growth of the baby dragon’s scale bones.

The White Dragon Mother naturally knew, but the dragon’s selfish nature and obsession with treasures determined that it was impossible for her to share her gems with the baby dragons.

Under normal circumstances, although baby dragons loved treasures, they did not dare to have any designs on their mother’s assets.

It was not because of respect and filial piety, but because the difference between the two sides was too great and it was extremely easy to be discovered. If they were discovered, they might be beaten up.

When the baby dragon grew to the age of a young dragon and its physique was strong enough, and it had a strong desire to collect treasures and territory, in order to ensure that the increasingly strong baby dragon would not pay attention to it, the Dragon Mother would bluntly chase them away.

Garen’s thoughts were already very firm.

The period where dragons were most likely to die was the baby dragon stage. It was also because the Dragon Mother was not very responsible and the baby dragon was relatively weak. In order to pass the baby dragon stage as soon as possible, Garen thought of consuming gemstones.

As the weakest young White Dragon, he did not have any golden finger or system to accompany him. If he did not dare to take any risks, Garen felt that he might not be able to live until he became an adult. The probability of a young White Dragon dying was too high.

A weak dragon was a dead dragon!

A dragon would not grow fat without gems!

Bold dragons were well fed while cowardly dragons starved to death!

………

Soon, Garen patted his dragon claw and thought of a feasible plan.

He immediately ran to the entrance of the nest and observed it.

There was still no sign of the White Dragon Mother in the snow. It seemed that she would at least need some time to return.

Returning to the depths of the nest, the dragon sister, Hill, had already finished eating the eggshell. Her curvy dragon body squatted on the ground like a wolfhound.

The dragon head with a smooth mask swayed with Garen’s movements. It was obvious that it was staring at him curiously.

In the nest, there were only the two dragons, Hill and Garen, and those gently swaying dragon eggs. The dragon eggs were boring, and she had nothing to see other than Garen.

Garen knew that if Hill saw him taking the White Dragon Mother’s magic gem, she would definitely not hesitate to tell on him when the mother returned and watch contentedly as he was expelled from the nest.

“My dragon life’s first challenge. Borrow a gem from the White Dragon Mother’s treasure vault.”

“The first test is how to successfully shake off the witness.”

Garen’s platinum dragon eyes narrowed slightly, and an unknown light flickered in them.

Due to her outstanding intuition, Hill seemed to have sensed the malice aimed at her and swayed her long tail uneasily.

Garen grinned at Hill and tried his best to appear friendly. However, the young and sharp dragon teeth in his mouth made him look a little cute and fierce.

Under the gaze of Hill’s wary dragon eyes, Garen slowly walked forward.

He was as large as a lion as soon as he was born, much larger than Hill, and extremely oppressive.

This malicious approach immediately made Hill retreat.

Like a girl being forced by a delinquent, the female dragon, Hill, quickly retreated and leaned against the reflective ice wall.

She shook her small dragon head in anger and roared at Garen, putting on a warning and threatening posture, revealing a mouthful of young White Dragon teeth.

The intelligence of the young White Dragons was generally not high, and they were the lowest among the dragons who were also evil dragons. Even with the inheritance of the dragon, they still acted instinctively like wild beasts most of the time.

As it grew older, the intelligence of the White Dragon would slowly increase. When it was young, it would be similar to ordinary humans. Moreover, most adult White Dragons could already use spells and had high intelligence to become mages.

However, the current Hill was still in the stupid stage and was easily deceived.

“Don’t blink. I will show you a treasure.”

Garen shook his tightly clenched dragon claws and slowly stretched out.

His actions were obvious and immediately attracted Hill’s attention. Just as Garen expected, Hill lowered her head and focused her gaze on Garen’s dragon claw.

Immediately after, with lightning speed, the dragon head with layers of armor suddenly leaned back. Its neck swung like a fully drawn bow, and then it suddenly smashed down.

In an instant, the hard bone armor collided.

Duang!

A crisp and powerful sound sounded in the nest.

Thanks to the ice crystal wall with excellent reflexes, the sound of the bang sounded almost like an empty valley. The lingering sound lingered for a long time. The slightly swaying dragon eggs seemed to have been stimulated and shook even more intensely. The time needed to break out of the shell became slightly earlier.

Opposite him, the dragon sister, Hill, did not say a word. Her limbs immediately went soft, her eyes rolled back, and she lay on the ground. She was knocked out by Garen’s dragon head hammer.

The life force of a dragon was extremely tenacious. With just a hammer strike, he did not have to worry about the safety of his dragon sister. Garen controlled his strength, and she would be unconscious for half an hour at most.

“Hill, dragons are sinister. You can’t be deceived so easily in the future.” With a thoughtful expression, Garen spoke sincerely to the unconscious Hill.

He did not feel guilty for hurting his little dragon sister continuously.

Immediately after, Garen excitedly rubbed his dragon claws and quickly ran into the depths of the nest filled with treasures.

“I’ve successfully passed the first obstacle.”

“This is the second obstacle. How to make it difficult for the White Dragon Mother to discover the theft of the treasure?”

Garen raised his head and looked at the various treasures that could bury him. The evil color was reflected in his platinum dragon eyes.

He took a deep breath as his mind raced.

The memory of dragons was very developed. Even ancient dragons who had lived for a thousand years could clearly remember the monsters they had hunted when they were young, the sky that they had flown through, the forest they had stepped through, the soil and rocks they had chewed… everything was clearly recorded.

It was a terrifying amount of memories that could not be forgotten.

With this memory and their greedy obsession with treasures, dragons would remember the number of treasures they had. Even if the most inconspicuous one was missing, they would still discover the abnormality.

In summary, Garen thought carefully. If he did not want to endure the White Dragon Mother’s anger, he had to satisfy a few conditions if he wanted to deceive her.

Firstly, the gem targeted had to be isolated and at the bottom. It could not be placed with other gems, or else there was a high chance that a chain reaction would happen.

Secondly, he needed a substitute that looked the same to replace the gap after the gem was taken away.

“An isolated gem at the bottom…”

Garen’s pupils moved as his gaze wandered among the treasures and quickly locked onto his target.

It was a diamond-shaped white crystal located at the left edge of the treasure mountain. It was the size of a baby’s fist, and Garen felt a strong desire for it.
