Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 320 The Lion and the Youth

As the snake can see, the young man who has just entered the world is curious and ignorant. If he bumps into someone else, he will probably be taken advantage of and deceived, but he has a mother who loves him and a stepfather who respects him.

What kind of man is Amphitryon?Simply put, he's a nice guy.

All his life, he pursued the virtues of a traditional Greek, being generous to outsiders and respecting soldiers.When he was young, he had done many commendable heroic deeds, but now that he is old, he wants to help the younger generation even more.

For this stepson, Amphitryon tried his best to fulfill his responsibilities as a stepfather, teaching this immature boy who has brute force but does not know the world what is right and what is wrong.

In the royal palace of Thebes, a man is fighting a young man with a stick.

After beating for a while, the man suddenly took a few steps back, waved his hand and said: "No more beating, no more beating."

Holding the wooden stick in his hand, panting slightly, he looked at the young man and shook his head.

"I'm old, I'm really old. If I was young, I might still be able to beat you, but not now."

The young man raised his head proudly, said with his hands on his hips.

"Of course, no one in the whole world can beat me."

The young man was triumphant, and he obviously said extremely arrogant words, but he felt like a big boy who was ignorant and innocent.

The man looked at the big boy in front of him and laughed loudly.

"You're right to think so. I don't know in this world, but there are not many people in Greece who can beat you."

Although Amphitryon hadn't fought anyone for a long time, he was once a hero with a reputation throughout Greece.

When he was young, he took back his cattle and territory from neighboring countries for the former king of Thebes, Electryon, and because of this, he married the king's daughter, Alcmene.

In that cattle robbing operation, he personally went to the enemy country, defeated the vicious fox that was addicted to man-eating, and attracted the daughter of King Puterilaus, and asked her to take the initiative to unplug the viscera while her father was sleeping. The blond hair of my own father's life.

Fighting, seduction, all kinds of methods are used.

The young hero tried his best and finally defeated the king who was infinitely powerful and invulnerable under the blessing of blond magic power. Then he returned to his country, married the princess amidst flowers and honors, and became the heir of the kingdom.

Thinking about it now, even Amphitryon couldn't help but feel terrified of the vicious fight back then, but if there were any mistakes, the young hero would probably be a dead bone, right?
Because of this, Amphitryon, who has seen many things in the world, thinks that although his stepson is immature, his military strength is already the best in the world.

But listening to the man's words, the young man showed dissatisfaction on his face.

"Then how can I become the strongest?"

Although his stepson is smart and brave, he still doesn't know how to hide his thoughts.

Facing the young man full of youthful vigor, a somewhat tired man sat on the grass, and then waved his hand to signal the young man to come over.

The young man obediently sat beside him.

"Hercules, force is important, but force cannot solve all problems. Sometimes, problems may be caused by your own force."

The man said, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

There was silence on his face for a moment, then he smiled.

"Hercules, the mountains of the wilderness are unknown, but the hills of the city-states have built temples."

"If you want to be a hero, you should make commendable achievements so that the world will respect you and regard you as a target."

"Then how do I let people know about my reputation?"

The young man asked again.

The man thought for a while and replied.

"Defeating those evil monsters, finding treasures in the distance, or seizing a kingdom of your own, Hercules, these are the things that will improve your reputation the most."

As the men say, the heroes of Greece are famous for it.

Of course, he would not say that these are all things he has already done.

Show off or something, such a childish thing, men have already passed this age.

"For example, I used to help the king of Thebes..."

In front of his stepson, the man starts boasting about his youthful exploits.

After a light chat, the man left, while the youth stayed where he was.

Under the clear sky, the young man lay comfortably on the grass, blocking the bright sunlight in front of his eyes with his hands.

Between the fingers, sparse light falls.

His eyes reveal curiosity and ignorance. He is still too immature and does not understand many things, but there is a strange light faintly in the deepest part of his pupils.

"There are not many people in Greece who can beat me..."

talking to himself.

Disappointment appeared on the young man's face.

There are many city-states throughout Greece with a dense population. Many of them are descendants of gods, and even demigods who are still active in the world.

Considered one of the strongest players in the whole of Greece, this is undoubtedly a high rating, but for the youth, this is far from enough.

If it is just this, it is not enough to satisfy his wish, and it is even more impossible to marry that person, or even defeat the father of all demons.

He can't just be one of the strongest, he has to be the strongest, so strong that no one can challenge himself, that's the real start.

Yes, start.

The young man has no doubts about the power of the father of all demons, because he has seen it himself.

"It's not enough...it's not enough."

"I have to get stronger."

Deep in the pupils, the longing became clearer.

In the young man's body, strands of snake blood are surging in this body, agitated by the young man's inner desire, making this body stronger and stronger.

Strong and stronger.

Inspired by the snake blood, the youth is getting stronger every day.

Today's youth can defeat yesterday's youth, and tomorrow's youth can defeat today's youth.

Every day changes, there is no end.

If it is an ordinary person, it may die in a short period of time because the potential is exhausted, but the body of the young man seems to be a bottomless pit, and there will always be endless potential to be tapped.

And with such endless power, what will be at the end of the road, even the king of gods and the father of snakes cannot estimate.

……

Soon, the youth ushered in an opportunity.

He heard the news that a lion had appeared at the foot of Mount Catatron, and devoured King Amphitryon's cattle and people.

It is said that the lion fell from the moon. Its fur is invulnerable and its claws are indestructible.

And beasts like this abound in Greece.

All kinds of man-eating beasts and monsters roam the forests and swamps, roaming lions, and raging wild boars.Therefore, the greatest responsibility of the heroes is to destroy these harmful beasts.

King Amphitryon was very angry with the lion and wanted to recruit warriors and offered a reward of gold, but the young man volunteered.

He has been in Thebes for a while, and intends to start from Thebes and establish his own legend and achievements.

Amphitryon admired his stepson's courage and prepared weapons and armor for him, but the young man proudly rejected these weapons and armor.

"I only believe in myself and this stick."

The young man waved the wooden stick in his hand, this wooden stick was nothing special, it was just made of a tree by the young man when he first came to the world, and used to beat the wild beasts in the forest.

It is not a magical weapon, but after using it for a long time, the young man finds it very handy.

"What use can such a stick be?"

Amphitryon puzzled.

"Because it was the weapon of the great Hercules."

The young man raised his head and said.

The young man who left the palace went to Mount Katajon.There, the young man who followed the guidance of the farmer came to a forest.

Lions are not difficult to find, because lions never try to hide themselves.

In the clearing where the corpses were strewn across the field, the huge lion was gnawing at the corpse of a soldier.

Those soldiers recruited by the bounty died in front of the lion.Their armor could not protect them, and the lion chewed up the armor like a fish bone, and swallowed it.

The young man could hear the lion's deep roar from a distance, as well as the ear-piercing sound of teeth crushing metal, which made one's scalp tingle.

When he saw the lion, the young man said in surprise.

"Leo? Is that you?"

The lion also raised its head, and it smelled a familiar breath.

Its mouth was covered with blood, and flesh and blood could still be seen between the densely covered teeth, which was terrifying and hideous.

Seeing the grown-up young man, the lion tilted his head, as if he was not sure.

"Alcaides?"

The lion uttered words, but the young man was not surprised, and laughed.

"It's really you."

The lion also let out a terrible laugh, the lion's laughter was deep and strange.

"Alcaides...Alcades, go to hell!"

"Roar!"

The inexplicably angry lion roared, dropped the corpse under him, and rushed towards the young man.
