"Damn it, what the hell is going on!"
Looking at the endless stream of monsters, Hex waved his huge sword and slashed the Goblins into meat paste, while complaining helplessly.
"We're only here for a trial mission. Is there a need to make it so exaggerated?"
"Be careful!"
Before Hex finished his sentence, Bolt's voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Hex sensed a huge shadow approaching him. His heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly urged the wyvern to dash forward. Along with a loud bang, a huge rock fell from the sky and smashed into the ground not far behind him. A huge crater was formed on the ground. Hex's expression changed slightly when he saw this scene.
"What the hell is this? Even a Frost Giant has appeared?"
Hex's expression turned increasingly grim as he gazed at the huge shadow that slowly emerged in the distance.
Their trial team had a rather smooth journey. As the joint army of the Country of Fire and Country of Wealth, the team didn't lack money or manpower. Apart from a few trial members, there were also more than 20 high-level guards and servants. Therefore, ordinary bandits and thieves didn't dare to cause trouble for them, and the monsters that would usually cause trouble for them didn't appear either. This made Hex rather happy at that time. Although following that fat pig wasn't a pleasant experience, it couldn't be better that he could complete the mission without fighting.
In the end, what Hex didn't expect was that they still ran into trouble. No, it should be said that even though he expected them to run into trouble, this was too … troublesome!
"What kind of stupid map did that damn employer give us!?"
Hex was infuriated at the thought of this. Their mission this time was quite simple. They only needed to reach the Ice Summit and place the item that their employer had entrusted to them at a specific location. Not only that, but the employer also gave them a detailed map of the Snow Summit Mountain Range and even drew a path. He told them that as long as they followed the path, they could reach their destination without alarming the Elves and Dwarves.
Although Hex really wanted to see those beautiful elven girls, he knew his companion's stupid temper. Plus, the mission was first, so he could see the elven girls at any time. This was the only time for this year's test. Therefore, he restrained his thoughts and followed the other side of the mountain path with his companions.
In the end … … not long after, they encountered a group of goblins.
For people like Hex who had the qualifications to participate in the graduation exam, the puny Goblins weren't a problem at all. Moreover, the guards were well-equipped and powerful, so they were easily dealt with.
Although the Goblins weren't powerful, it was like poking a hornet's nest. After that, all sorts of monsters charged at them one after another. At first, Hex was quite excited. After all, he was a warrior. He didn't want to indulge in debauchery. Only battles could prove his strength and value.
But now … even a Frost Giant had appeared!
What kind of damned monster army is this? Why are these monsters ganging up to attack? And how did they become so ferocious?
Hex and Usain Bolt were experienced warriors. They had dealt with these "low-level monsters" many times in their daily lives, so they naturally knew that monsters like goblins and gnolls bullied the weak and feared the strong. If they encountered a weak enemy, they would swarm them, and if they encountered a strong enemy, they would turn around and run away. But the monsters here were not afraid of death, which gave them a headache.
This mission was really unlucky!
Of course, Fangzheng and the others didn't know that someone was pulling aggro for them down there, but even if they knew, they couldn't do anything about it. Because right now, they were also rapidly advancing towards the top of the Ice Summit.
Although most of the monsters had been lured away by the foot of the mountain, there were still a considerable number of monsters scattered on the various mountain paths. But these monsters were no threat to Fangzheng and the others. Miss Katie activated a magical item called "Mirage Mirror", which formed a huge invisible ball of light that enveloped everyone to prevent others from spying on them. Jasmine cooperated with Fangzheng and Usain Bolt to snipe the monsters that blocked their way along the way.
After all, in this kind of place, the shooting of the elves was more suitable than the thunderous fighting of the dwarves.
For the two of them, this was not a troublesome matter. The Goblins and Gnolls were weak creatures, so Jasmine could shoot them in the head with a single arrow. As for the large Frost Giants, Fangzheng was in charge of killing them instantly. The rest of them stayed in the Invisibility Orb that Catie released as they advanced. Not long after, they successfully followed the mountain path and arrived at a cave near the peak of the mountain. Only then did they come to a halt.
Because it was no longer a place they could casually barge through.
"I didn't expect there to be so many of them."
Hiding behind a rock, Fangzheng narrowed his eyes and looked ahead. On the platform outside the cave not far ahead, nearly a hundred monsters formed a semicircle and stood outside the huge cave at the top of the mountain. Werewolves, goblins and other monsters were separated according to their own races. There were also a few tall Frost Giants standing behind them, as if they were observing something.
At the entrance of the cave stood a goblin with a long staff, a gnoll wrapped in a cloak, and a gnoll who seemed to be very old. Judging from their attire, these three should be the prestigious leaders of their respective clans. At this moment, they were kneeling in front of the cave entrance and saying something.
"What … What are they doing?"
Hayleen and the female Astrologer also came over at this moment, and looked at the scene before them curiously. Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders and stared intently at the cave.
"They're making a sacrifice."
"… Are you sure?"
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, the girls all had a strange look in their eyes. The things placed in front of the three monster leaders were too different from what they had imagined. In front of the gnolls was a pile of broken glass marbles, in front of the goblins were blood-stained swords and armour, and in front of the gnolls was the corpse of a half-eaten deer.
Aren't you afraid of being swallowed whole by the dragon if you offer this thing as a sacrifice?
"The sacrifice itself isn't important. What's important is the attitude."
Fangzheng, of course, knew that this thing did not look like something a dragon would accept, but he also knew that the sacrifices placed by these races actually represented their own inclinations. What they took out was actually what the tribe was best at. And now, the dragon was going to choose one of them as its subordinate. The other two races could only leave the Ice Summit Mountain.
"Then, let me confirm again. We'll follow our plan. When the dragon comes out, I'll find a way to lure it away, and then you guys will be responsible for eliminating the monsters here … Is that really okay?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Fangzheng. There may be a lot of monsters here, but we're confident!"
Hearing Fangzheng's question, Fina clenched the meteor hammer in her hand and nodded firmly.
"On the other hand, Mr. Fangzheng … Is it really alright to face a dragon alone?"
Fina's worries were obviously more practical than Fangzheng's. Although Fina's team consisted of old and young people, none of them were easy to deal with. Their talent trees were all crooked. The hundreds of monsters were only a little tricky for them, but they were not too dangerous.
"Nimf, stay here with the little guy to help them. If the situation doesn't look good, swap places with Hecate."
"Yes, Master."
Hearing Fangzheng's order, Nimf nodded. The little charmander in her arms also poked its head out and cried out twice. Only then did Fangzheng turn his head again and look at the entrance of the cave.
"Okay, our target is almost here."
"Thud …. Thud …."
Following Fangzheng's words, a series of heavy footsteps sounded. Even the ground under Fangzheng's and the others' feet trembled slightly with the footsteps. A strong pressure slowly emerged from the air and surged towards them like a tide.
"Everyone, hide behind me."
Fangzheng whispered with a frown when he sensed the intense pressure. Although the dragon's pressure was very strong, he was sure that the other party would not fully unleash its [Dragon's Aura]. Otherwise, these low-intelligence races would have fainted right away. How could they still be his lackeys?
But he had to seize the opportunity. If the dragon noticed that something was wrong, it would definitely unleash its [Dragon's Aura] at once. At that time, everyone except him and Nimf would probably lose their fighting strength …
"Whoosh …."
At that moment, the footsteps stopped. The elders of the three races seemed to become more and more excited. They began to squeak and wave their hands, expressing their strength and expectations to this powerful existence in their own way. Then, Fangzheng saw two lantern-sized light spots emerge from the shadow of the huge cave in front of him.
Then, a huge shadow slowly poked its head out of the cave.
Now!
The moment the dragon poked its head out, Fangzheng suddenly swung his sword.
