Chapter 160

The Makalu Mountains were huge. Okov only occupied the highest peak, which was closest to the sky. It was covered in snow all year round and had the lowest temperature.

The lower part of the mountains was completely different. It was full of life, with forests and lakes everywhere. All kinds of strange creatures lived there.

Lina's tribe was among them.

After the master-servant contract was signed, Lina was 655% obedient to Adam. He found out that Lina was a forest elf. Her tribe was a small branch of this race, with a population of only a little more than a thousand. The strongest person was her father, the tribe leader. Lina did not know his power level. She only knew that the tribe leader could not resist Okov at all.

Adam could infer that Lina's father had not reached the Extraordinary level. Otherwise, Lina, as a direct descendant, would not be so weak.

Lina's words were very indifferent to her own race and family. This was because she was offered to Okov as a tribute when she was born. She had lived near the dragon's den since the day she was conscious. She had only returned to the tribe three times in her life. The first two times were when she was collecting treasures.

"They don't like me, including my father," Lina said as she led the way. "Three years ago, when the old master gave me and the tribe our freedom, I went back to the tribe. They were very happy to be free, but no one welcomed me, and no one was willing to keep me, so I had no choice but to return to the dragon's den."

Adam's emotions did not change at all. Lina's experience was due to the stupid prejudice of the mortal races. They obviously thought that Lina had become Okov's lackey and spokesperson. In their minds, Lina was an exploiter, an alien who brought disaster. She was the embodiment of misfortune. They did not think that they were the ones who sent Lina to the dragon's den. They also did not think that it was because of Lina's existence that they could live a peaceful life and finally obtain freedom.

"I'm sorry, master. Three years have passed. I don't know if the tribe is still here. Perhaps they have left long ago..."

"Continue leading the way. They won't leave," Adam said confidently.

Dragons were very cruel, but that was only when they were in a bad mood or when they needed treasures. Most of the time, dragons were perfect rulers that only existed in the dreams of slaves.

Dragons were a lazy species that could sleep for hundreds of years at a time. Although they demanded a large amount of offerings each time, this amount was not that difficult to accept over the long years. As a mortal species that did not have the power to decide their own survival, if Lina's father was not an idiot, he would not have left this place to be exploited by the next slave owner.

Lina was a little confused, but whatever her master said must be right. She fell silent and continued to lead the way.

"Wait, this is … Dragon's Might?" In a small team of four, a human holding a long sword waved his hand to stop his companions and said with a serious and excited tone.

Draconic Might did not come from an inheritance, but it was an instinctive ability of any dragon. It was similar to a domain, and it would automatically spread out along with their energy aura. Wherever Adam passed, all creatures that had yet to develop intelligence would scatter in all directions, afraid of angering the overlord at the top of the food chain. Not a single beast dared to block the path of the dragons.

However, Draconic Might was also the best beacon for those with ulterior motives, allowing them to catch the movements of the dragons from extremely far away.

Dragon Slayer Warriors, this was a profession unique to the dragon plane.

They came from the society of the other races in the dragon plane. A few of them hunted dragons for their treasures, while most only dared to attack young dragons. They usually formed a team of a few people and hunted the young dragons that had just been chased out of the den by the mother dragon. They used the young dragons' corpses to show off their martial arts in exchange for social status and great benefits.

Although it was very dangerous, there were still countless people who took the risk.

Shield Warrior Carter, Magic Swordsman Lar, Wizard Jess, and Priest Jessie were such a dragon slayer team.

They were not very strong, but they were not weak either. They could not fight against mature dragons, but they were an overwhelming threat to young dragons. They had come to the Makalu Mountains this time because they had heard that a young dragon had appeared in Frost Dragon Okov's territory. They wanted to find an opportunity to do something big.

No one knew where this news came from, but it seemed to have come from a slave race ruled by dragons three years ago. At first, they did not believe that there would be a young dragon in the den of a male dragon like Okov. However, when they thought of the Frost Dragon disaster eight years ago, this news seemed to be more credible.

Dragons were very lazy. As long as they did not seek their own deaths, they would not be in any danger if they attacked the den. They were just trying their luck. It would be best if they could hunt it down, but if they could not, there would not be any losses.

After all, dragon slayers were a bunch of idle fellows.

"The news is true. Frost Dragon Okov really is raising a young dragon!" The shield warrior put down the large shield in his hand, his short body completely hidden behind the shield. From the strength of the Draconic Might, he could tell that the source was definitely not an adult dragon.

"But this young dragon is at most eight years old, right? How could it appear outside of the den? " Priest Jessie waved his hand and threw a few buff spells on everyone, then walked to the safest corner of the team.

Wizard Jess waved his magic staff, and a circle of fire elemental ripples appeared. He then licked his lips and said, "Okov's dragon cave is surrounded by frost. It's obvious that he's asleep. Our cute little dragon must have gone down the mountain when daddy was asleep and couldn't find its way home."

The four of them looked at each other and saw the greed in each other's eyes. The spellblade waved his longsword and pointed in the direction of the Draconic Might. "Then what are we waiting for? It is time to kill the evil dragons."

Adam's flying speed was very fast, while Lina was quietly held in the dragon's claws without moving. When a dense forest appeared in front of them, Lina opened her mouth and said, "Master, the forest elf tribe is inside. If, I'm saying if, they didn't offend you, can you let them live?"

"Of course." Adam replied without hesitation. Every intelligent lifeform, no matter how weak they were, still had their value. Moreover, the forest elves were the first breakthrough point in his plan. All of his following plans would have to be verified by this tribe, so he wouldn't kill them for no reason unless it was absolutely necessary.

This included the four little mice that were sneakily following behind him.

Adam looked back, then descended from the sky and prepared to enter the forest. At this moment, a blazing wall of fire suddenly rose in front of him.
