The Dungeon Struggle Of An Earth Dragon! - Chapter 14

Chapter 14:There are a lot of things in this world that you do not need to know.

Species: Accurate Crow
A king-cla.s.s monster that lives in the Eld Desert.
The average size of an adult is roughly 10 melds.
Has an outstanding wingspan of over 40 melds.
The strength varies with the individual but most of them are king-cla.s.s.
Its main attacks are physically claws and beak, flame comparable to dragon breath and wings that can generate razor-sharp wind.
The largest Accurate Crow is beyond the king-cla.s.s, a super calamity-cla.s.s.
Apart from the black body, it’s known for its way of breeding.
This bird feeds its own chicks with its own eggs.
Furthermore, surprisingly, it has a special characteristic that is

Ow-ow-ow
My head is in a throbbing pain.
Some weird information suddenly flowed into my head.

What on earth just happened?

Species.?

Accurate Crow?

This is. Maybe this is the knowledge of this world.
Then, does that mean what flowed into my head after I ate the lithograph just now is everything written on it?

There’s no way that can be true.
In order to confirm it, I ate another lithograph, next to the previous one, that has a picture of a flying dragon.

Species: White Wyvern
It lives in the Eld Plain..

Again, large amounts of information flowed into my head.

There’s no doubt about it.

By eating the lithograph, it’s possible to obtain the knowledge written on it.

I don’t know how it works, but it seems to be like that.
Well, I’m a dragon. That might be the case, I guess.
Besides, in the first place, knowledge from my previous life is meaningless here.

And that’s why I greatly appreciate it.
I hardly know anything about this world.

I didn’t expect to get it like this.
Ann?
I can’t rely on that thing.
She’s an ant.

Yosh!
Since I’ve done it before, should I eat every single of lithograph here?
It makes me hungry just thinking about it.
Even without the knowledge, this stone is still an exquisite food.

Maybe there’s more information about the monster living in this area.
Not only there are several similar stone board, but there’s also quite a lot of character-only lithograph.
I want to know more about monsters, but the thing I want to know the most is human history, culture and activities.
Is there still human in this world? It’s a question that I’ve been asking myself from a long time ago. But since the ruin still remains, that means there are people or other race living close to it.
There’s nothing to lose knowing about it anyway.

Alright! Let’s stop our story there.
There are stone board, earthenware with letters on it and mural here.
Let’s eat everything.
This way, I should be able to understand more about this world.
I’m worried that the information from the ruin is not accurate but at least it’s better than nothing.

Now then, let’s eat!

Huh? Historical perspectives?
Ruins destruction?
Tomb vandalism?

Hahaha, what are you saying?
I’m a dragon, aren’t I?

Then, I continue eating the stone board for quite a while.
It tastes good and isn’t heavy on my stomach at all.
Maybe it’s because of the growth period.
I can eat as much as I want.

I keep eating dozens of ill.u.s.trated lithographs.
And got some information about monsters out of it.

I think I’ll stay like this for a while.

Monsters in this world are divided into cla.s.ses. The rank seems to be decided according to their strength and level of danger.
There appear to be 8 ranks altogether, starting from the bottom, lower-cla.s.sintermediate-cla.s.sadvanced-cla.s.sgeneral-cla.s.sking-cla.s.sdisaster-cla.s.scalamity-cla.s.sevil G.o.d-cla.s.s.
So, the one I saw before, the Accurate Crow and White Wyvern are both cla.s.sified as king-cla.s.s.
To be rank as king, no wonder it’s very strong.
I almost got myself killed.
And the Accurate Crow chicks.
Breaking the eggs. What kind of method is that?
Unknowingly, I stole their food.
Of course, the parent bird got very mad.
Let’s try to stay away from it.
Well, it’s not like I’ll be leaving underground.
By the way, Ann, which is a Killer Ant, is even lower than that lower-cla.s.s.
Pu kehkehkeh.

I wonder how will this lithograph taste like?

Bite. Munch Munch. Gulp.

Uoh, here it comes, here it comes.
It’s still impossible to get used to this muddy stream of knowledge.

Now, let’s see

Earth Dragon
Disaster level species.

Oh, it’s my species.
In this world, I’m what they called the earth dragon.
The dragon of earth. Well, something along that line.
Ann seems to be calling me so too.

Earth Dragon
Disaster level species.

“There are various types of dragon, among them, the earth dragon is the rarest of Dragon King. There are only four kinds of dragons to be categorized as this species.”

He~e, aren’t I amazing.

“The earth dragon boasts of being the largest species with excellent defence and physical attack power. However, this is the strength of an adult.
Theoretically, its trait, ‘Gluttony’, allows it to eat anything.
It gets larger as it eats, and stronger too.
Each individual has different preferences but generally, they prefer to eat mineral, rock and so forth.”

I see. This ‘Gluttony’ seems to be a skill that a.n.a.lyses the power and ability of the things I ate and turning them into my own.
In other words, the reason why I can get knowledge by eating stone board is due to the ‘Gluttony’ trait.
Hahaha, ain’t I amazing!
It’s fine to be this lit, right?
I was in a good mood, so I continue reading the explanation.

“Slowly over time, an earth dragon takes about a hundred years or so to reach adulthood.”

.That’s quite long.
But that means my lifespan is long too.
Sounds good, let’s live as good-for-nothing for a very long time then. Huhu.

“Individuals that can become full-grown because of their height are rare. Most of them are hunted even before they can become adult.”

Huh?

“Raw materials from the earth dragon are all known as the highest grade materials. Not only the skin and scales, bone, blood and all parts including the internal organs are also top-cla.s.s materials.

That is why earth dragons are excessively hunted before reaching adulthoods. Moreover, in some countries, even the fully grown are hunted one after another by the most skilful adventurers.”

“The present location of the dragon shows no signs of survivors. All are believed to be extinct.

By any chance, if there’s still remnants of earth dragon that survived, there’s likely to be subjugation orders to capture it immediately for just being rare.

Next, weapons that required raw materials from earth dragon. Concerning the quality of the equipment.”

So, for the time being, I gently closed the drawer of knowledge.

.Un, that is scary.

As I know more and more about the outside, I don’t think I can leave anymore.
