Perhaps it was because they found the taste quite alright.
These animals began to seek similar things in the lava flow, moving forward all the way...
Many animals slowly began to settle around the volcano.
Three months later.
Among these animals, some died, but a portion had already undergone extremely noticeable changes.
Five months later.
The number of animals near the volcano had significantly increased.
The animals became more ferocious and powerful.
Occasionally, some would return to the forest, almost invincible.
This shocked the local wild men. They watched a few animals they had never seen before, as powerful as gods, defeat some of the original overlords and began to observe these evolving and mutating animals.
Soon after, they discovered the anomalies at the volcano's edge.
They began to taste these by-products and started to mutate and evolve!
Like this.
A year later.
All the surviving wild men had turned into Dragon People, acquiring extraordinary powers.
