Chapter 6 Buffer Scales (Seeking monthly tickets, seeking follow-up reading)
The circular tiankeng is an open space in front of a mountain wall. It is full of holes of different sizes and depths. The structure looks like it was caused by the fall of a heavy object.

I just don't know where all the things came from that hit the ground.

collapse!
With a burst of flying gravel, the young dragon, about six meters long, retracted its wings and fell freely from the air, slamming heavily onto the ground, stirring up a circle of spreading dust.

"Pooh!"

Garros spat out the gravel in his mouth and climbed out of the pit, shaking his head.

On his body, the black iron scales that originally had a matte silver sheen and looked like cast steel had now turned into a layer of black-gray dragon scales in many places. The texture was no longer like steel, and the dark red lava-like texture on the surface of the scales was gone.

There are still some fallen black and gray dragon scales in the crash pit just now.

Garros's scales seemed to have become more fragile than before.

And at first glance from a distance.

Now Gallos is neither black nor gray, and his appearance has slightly declined.

but.

Garros did not show any dissatisfaction. He turned around and looked at the hole made by the smash, then his eyes fell on the fallen dragon scales, and he even nodded with pleasure.

He turned around and looked at his scales.

Where the black-gray dragon scales fell was not skin, but a layer of black scales with dark red textures and a matte silver luster.

That’s right, the black and gray dragon scales on Garros’ body are an extra layer that has grown newly, mainly concentrated on the back, chest and joints of the limbs.

——They are all detachable cushioning scales!

When this layer of dragon scales is hit violently, it can actively peel off to absorb the impact, and will also cause a recoil at the moment of peeling.

Given the height from which Garros fell, he would have been dizzy for a while and injured himself before, but this time, apart from a slight shock, he did not feel any discomfort or pain in his body.

The changes are not limited to this layer of buffer scales.

On Garros's head, the pair of swept-back dragon horns became thicker and larger, and the metal exoskeleton covering the roots of the horns expanded a lot, making it more stable.

The blade-like scales on its dragon tail became denser.

The muscles, bones, internal organs, etc. that are hidden by scales and cannot be seen by the naked eye become stronger and more able to withstand impact.

"I didn't expect that this evolution would allow me to grow a layer of buffer scales instead of continuing to increase the strength of my dragon scales like before."

Garros was actually a little surprised by the layer of cushioning scales that grew on his body.

The strength of his lower dragon scales has also increased, but not by much. This evolution in the scales is mainly reflected in a layer of buffer scales.

"Gorton, Samantha, both of you come over here and beat me up."

Garros called out into the distance.

Two dragonflies flew out of the mine in an impatient manner and came to Garros.

Garros finally fell like a fool! Even the dragon scales were dulled.

Both of them thought about it and looked eager to try it out.

"Come on, hit me with all your might."

Garros got on all fours, stood firmly on the ground, and signaled the two dragonflies to hit him.

"I'll come first!"

The red dragon girl, who had an even hotter temper, couldn't wait any longer. She flapped her wings to speed up, and her heavy steps stomped on the ground to form footprints, and she rushed towards Garros.

Impact - This is a method commonly used by young dragons. It can exert the strength of the whole body and is quite powerful.

According to past experience, although Gallos is strong and larger in size, he will not be able to withstand a head-on impact and will be knocked away.

in a blink.

The excited red dragon girl rushed to Garros and hit him directly with her body.

The moment the contact hit Garros's strong chest.

As the black and gray dragon scales collapsed and fell off one by one, a huge recoil force fell on the unsuspecting red dragon girl, knocking her to the ground. Garros did not even take a step back, but just shook his body slightly.

"The impact energy was almost completely absorbed by the buffer scales, and very little of it passed through the buffer scales and landed on me."

Garros pondered. Meanwhile, Iron Dragon Brother was also eager to try, but after seeing how Red Dragon Sister had knocked out one of his teeth while Garros remained motionless, it was like being poured with a basin of ice water on a hot day, and his fiery heart suddenly calmed down.

"Damn Garros!"

The red dragon girl shook her head and rushed towards him again angrily. The red dragon was much more irritable than the iron dragon, and the defeat made the red dragon girl even more manic.

It didn't use any other moves, but just charged towards Galas again and again.

The dragon scales on Garros' body were flying everywhere, and he looked fragile, but it was the Red Dragon Girl who was blown away every time. He was as steady as a reef in the sea that could withstand the beating of the waves.

Until the cushioning scales on Garros's chest almost completely fell off, revealing the steel-cast and iron-like dragon scales underneath.

The Red Dragon Girl was so exhausted that she collapsed on the ground, and her body was covered with scars from the recoil of her own collisions.

"Before the buffer scales fell off, I could basically ignore this kind of damage."

Garros weighed it in his mind.

He would prefer to evolve directly to increase the hardness of his scales, but unfortunately, the results of adaptive evolution are not something he can perfectly control now. Each evolution is actually like opening a blind box, which will bring about unknown changes. Although his evolution is definitely in a good direction, the changes in his body shape often exceed Gallos's expectations.

“Although the appearance is average, the effect is very good.”

Garros inherited the Iron Dragon's pragmatic character.

The black and gray buffer scales are not very attractive in appearance, but the effect is really good, and Garros is quite satisfied with it.

Moreover, he would continue to evolve and change, and perhaps one day he would evolve into a posture that was particularly mighty and handsome in the dragon's aesthetic sense.

At the same time, Gallos was also thinking about this adaptive evolution.

"I was able to directly evolve cushioning scales this time. This is probably because my recent training methods have been too monotonous, with frequent and intense collisions with mountains and ground."

"Next, try to reduce the frequency of this type of exercise and try other forms of exercise."

he thought so.

Gallos is still in the exploratory stage of his evolutionary talent and is not shy about conducting various experiments and comparisons. He plans to reduce the frequency of crashing into mountains and the ground and change his training style to focus on strength and speed.

suddenly.

He heard a bang.

When I turned around, I saw that it was Brother Iron Dragon. It flew into the air and then fell down, sprawled out on its back, then climbed up staggeringly.

"what are you doing?"

Garros asked doubtfully.

"Garos, I've discovered the secret to your strength. It must be that you become stronger by throwing yourself."

Tielongdi's eyes showed wisdom, and he spoke to Garros in a complacent and proud tone.

After hearing what it said, Red Dragon Girl became thoughtful and felt that her IQ was about to take the upper hand.

"Yes, that must be it."

It nodded in agreement and said to Garros, "Just wait, Garros, I will surpass you sooner or later!"

In the following days, the two young dragons felt that they had discovered the secret of Garroth's power, so they began to imitate him during their free time while mining, trying to "learn from the enemy and defeat him", learn from Garroth, and surpass Garroth.

The surface of this open space collapsed and sank into a layer due to the impact.

Another week passed.

After fully adapting to the cushioning scales on his body, Garros flew to the top of the cliff, feeling the wind passing through the scales, while narrowing his eyes and looking into the distance into the wilderness.

"Sooner or later I will have to leave the Iron Dragon Lady's territory and survive on my own."

"Blindly seeking refuge is not a long-term solution."

"While I still have a way out, I'd better hone my combat and survival skills. If possible, I'd like to choose a suitable territory in advance for my future residence."

The young dragon thought silently, planning for the future.

A few seconds later, Garros spread his wings and flew into the sky, leaving the Iron Dragon Lady's tiankeng territory. He didn't fly too far, but moved around nearby.
