"Your daughter?" Lin Mu looked at the Flood Dragon with interest.
"I too had a family once… an entire clan," Qiulong Jiao answered.
"A Clan of Flood Dragons…" Lin Mu muttered, recalling something about the beast clans.
Since beasts gained intelligence on par with humans, it was not uncommon for them to form clans and families much like humans did. Even normal animals did this, such as deer and other ungulates living in herds, monkeys living in troops, or lions living in prides.
They banded together for protection and to stabilize their means of sustenance, like hunting in groups or grazing collectively. These behaviors formed the most primitive tribes or clans, and these instincts often persisted even as animals evolved into beasts or Immortal Beasts.
For higher-intelligence beasts, such as the Dragon clans, these instincts were even more pronounced. They established their own hierarchies, names, rules, and traditions.
