Chapter 183

Adam no longer restricted the range of his Draconic Aura and expanded it to its maximum range. He actually picked up a few werewolves very close to him. At this time, Adam was already very far away from the initial battlefield. One could imagine how powerful the explosion was.

He could not help but admire the strong vitality of the werewolves. Even after suffering such serious injuries, the vitality in their bodies did not show any signs of completely dissipating. As long as they were properly placed and fed a few mouthfuls of hot food, perhaps most of the werewolves could survive.

The serious injury on his back and the dragon wings were also dripping with blood. Adam tried to use the dragon wings, but the power of the dragon wings was temporarily unable to move his huge body.

In this plane, the range that the Draconic Aura could cover was the range of Adam's perception. After a wide range search, he confirmed the death of the werewolf elder.

"Although I won, it's still a pity."

Adam was a little regretful. If he was a little stronger, perhaps he could have captured the elder alive. Living things were always more valuable than dead things.

At this time, the elemental aura began to become chaotic. Flowers of blood floated in the sky like bombs, and the terrifying snowstorm on the ice field began again.

Adam picked up all the werewolves that he could find that were still alive one by one. He cast a spell to condense ice around their bodies, controlling the temperature of the ice to maintain their vitality. Then he walked all the way to the werewolf tribe.

Although the hope was slim, there might be other important information in the underground werewolf tribe.

Rumble …

Adam crushed the ice field with one foot. The underground entrance was built according to the werewolf's size, so it was too small for Adam. If he wanted to enter, he would have to destroy it. Then, what appeared in front of Adam was a vast underground cave. The werewolves used unknown metals to build houses, forcibly opening up a small city underground.

He stretched out his dragon claw and pointed upwards. A thick layer of ice quickly condensed and sealed the entrance. There were still many signs of life in the tribe, but compared to the previous werewolf warriors, they were too weak. They were probably the elderly, children, and women of the werewolves.

Adam was not in the mood to deal with them at the moment. He went straight to the tallest and most beautiful house at the end of the underground.

"Dragon, stop, you can't go near the ancestral temple!"

Adam lowered his head and looked at the tiny figure a hundred meters away. "Ancestral hall?"

His voice reverberated through the underground space, forming a rumbling echo. The little werewolf frowned as if it was uncomfortable, but it didn't move an inch. It didn't answer Adam's question, and it stubbornly repeated, "You can't go near the ancestral temple."

The little werewolf was pitifully weak. Within the range of the Draconic Aura, there was no aura that could be considered powerful. Adam was very curious about what gave the little werewolf the courage to face him. He ignored it and continued to walk forward.

A young wolf howl sounded as the little werewolf transformed and spat out a white light at Adam. However, the white light was too weak. Even the dragon's might couldn't penetrate it. It dissipated in midair.

Adam continued to move forward.

The young wolf howl gradually increased in pitch and became shrill. It was hard to imagine how such a small body could produce such a piercing sound.

Adam heard the sound of the door opening and many footsteps. The werewolves hiding in the room had all come out. They fearfully but firmly walked towards the ancestral temple. They walked around Adam and stood in front of the little werewolf. Then, one after another, wolf howls sounded.

"Leave, you can't go near the ancestral temple." Adam seemed to hear countless such voices.

Adam stopped. These people were obviously very weak. They were so weak that Adam could kill them all with one spell. They couldn't be unaware of the reputation of the Dragon race and the battles in the outside world. But even if they knew, they still stood in front of him.

In other words, they came out with the thought that they would die to fight against him.

"Faith? Honor? Or something else? " Adam was a little lost. Many words flashed through his mind, representing emotions he didn't understand. "But, it's meaningless."

"Roar!"

Adam opened his mouth and let out a loud roar. The sound waves surged along with the Dragon's Aura and instantly resounded through the entire underground space. Ice and snow even fell from the houses. The wolf howls were completely suppressed.

The ice elemental power spread along the sound waves. The old, weak, sick, and disabled in front of him were frozen into ice and turned into ice sculptures on the ground.

Adam didn't kill them. They were all important commodities for the Free City in the future, especially the little werewolf. He could live in the ancestral temple of the werewolves. Perhaps he had a very important identity.

Adam stepped over the ice sculptures on the ground and entered the ancestral temple.

After entering, he was even more certain that he had defeated all of the werewolves' combat power and only foundation. There was no trace of life in the ancestral temple. There were no rooms or partitions. There were only lifelike statues and murals on the walls.

There were also no words.

Adam ignored the statues. They were all powerhouses in the history of the Ice Field Werewolves. He walked to the murals with difficulty and carefully looked at them.

The murals were very long and detailed. At first, it described the scene before the werewolves came to the Ice Field. According to the murals, the werewolves had many Extraordinaries. Then it was a long history of evolution, fighting, hunting, settling down, and migrating. In the murals, Adam saw the figure of the dragon race. However, the role they played was not very glorious.

This part lasted for a long time. After looking at it all, Adam had already reached a height of more than five meters. The shocking content started from here.

The sky cracked open and unknown substances scattered on the plane. Vague images of monsters invaded in groups and destroyed everything. The werewolves and other races rose up to resist.

Adam remembered all of this in his mind and muttered to himself, "So the invasion had happened before …"

The murals were simple, but the tragic atmosphere was still overwhelming. Corpses were scattered all over the ground. Flames burned fiercely. Tens of thousands of races fought bravely but were still defeated.

The most inconspicuous but most important thing to Adam was the sphere hanging in the sky. It existed in every picture, but it kept getting smaller as the murals went on.

Adam was sure that this was not a mistake by the artist.

Next was still a continuous war. Creatures died and the shrinking sphere kept shrinking. However, when Adam reached a height of eight meters, new content appeared. Dragons, wolves, giants, elves, and other races flew into the sky and then disappeared. Then the sky closed and the shrinking sphere disappeared.

This part of the murals was abruptly separated by white space. It was obviously very important content. Adam guessed that these races must have sent their strongest to seal the dimensional crack and prevent the invasion. And that sphere, if he was not wrong, was the origin of the Dragon Plane.

Next was another blank space. After that was the scene of the races on the ground counterattacking. They were in a killing frenzy. Adam could only see that there was no distinction between race and friend in this part. The invaders seemed to have hidden among the native races. They could only choose to kill every suspicious creature.

The races were reduced sharply. Corpses were everywhere. After that, the Dragon Plane entered a period of peace again. At this time, a picture attracted Adam's attention. It was still a picture of the races that had flown into the sky. They gathered together and performed some kind of ritual. Then, except for the dragons, they ran to all directions of the world and took root.

The last part of the murals showed the werewolves and the other two races living on the ice field.

After Adam finished looking at the murals, he fell into deep thought for a long time. The murals were very important. They almost explained most of the problems that Adam had faced since he was a stowaway. At this time, the content of the ancient covenant was no longer that important. It was probably about protecting the world, guarding against invaders, and not easily starting wars and so on.

Obviously, although the Dragon Plane had repelled the invaders, there was still a connection between the two planes. Or it could be said that the other planes had not given up on the idea of invading. And the origin that kept shrinking and finally managed to survive was probably the reason why the Dragon Plane's energy level was low and there were few strong people.

Otherwise, as the main force of the last war, the werewolves of the ice field would not only have one extraordinary person who was barely surviving. Perhaps for the ordinary races of the Dragon Plane, their future was almost cut off.

"But what's up with the dragons?"

Adam remembered very clearly. On the day of his reincarnation, more than two hundred extraordinary dragons descended on the Nesario Mountains. And this was only the number of frost dragons. The other dragons were not weaker than the frost dragons.

He recalled the words of the werewolf leader. At first, Adam thought that it was because of the werewolves' territorial awareness. But now, it seemed that they were hostile towards the dragons.

Adam had no clue as to why the dragons were still so powerful. However, Adam felt that the little werewolf would give him a satisfactory answer as to why the werewolves were hostile towards the dragons.

— — —

Several days later, the Devil and Canbi in the Free Cities saw the returning Adam.

Adam was hovering five meters above the ground. His dragon horns were entwined with fine threads, while the other end was connected to hundreds of ice blocks. He looked like a … that word the Devil did not dare to think of.

"Master, you've grown bigger!" The Devil flattered, then kicked and punched the lazy demonic beast beside him. "Go, help master carry things!"

Adam cut the threads and instructed the Devil to thaw the werewolves and feed them after entering the city. He then asked the two, "Did anything happen in the city these few days?"

"Nothing, master. Everything is normal."

Adam nodded and walked into the city. Right now, he needed to rest and digest what he had gained this time. After that, he would recover from his injuries and his energy depletion. He decided to put the Frost Giants and Snow Monsters aside for now. Fighting alone was just too much of a waste of time.

The next day, Adam called for Canbi and asked, "Have you adapted to your new ability?"

Canbi hastily replied, "I can already freely control it. Your Lordship's modification is very suitable for battle."

Adam brought him to the luxurious colosseum built by the Devil. Then, he ordered the Devil to bring an awakened werewolf with the lightest injuries. He said to Canbi, "Then perform for me."

Canbi nodded vigorously. His explosive increase in strength incessantly aroused the desire to vent. However, the entire Free Cities was Adam's property. Without permission, he didn't dare to carelessly slaughter. Now, Adam's command was exactly what he wanted.

After entering the colosseum, the werewolf loudly cursed and madly charged towards Adam. Canbi sneered and heavily stomped his right foot on the ground, activating his transformation ability. His foot transformed into a tree root and pierced into the ground. Following that, the floor of the colosseum split open. Thorny vines rapidly grew and pierced through the ground. After breaking through the ground, they swelled with the wind and wrapped around the werewolf before smashing him to the ground.

The werewolf utilized its innate transformation ability and tore apart the vines with great difficulty with its sharp claws. However, its body was densely littered with bloody holes.

The vines gained the ability to devour blood.

The werewolf was enraged by the pain and gave up its charge. Adam turned and charged towards Canbi. Canbi wasn't flustered as his entire body transformed into a treant. His roots deeply penetrated into the ground and forcibly withstood the werewolf's attack. Simultaneously, green energy flowed through the vines and covered the werewolf. Following that, the werewolf seemed to crumble from the inside. Little by little, its body exploded with blood and shriveled up.

His' Leech Pods' were strengthened.

Fresh blood stimulated Canbi's state of mind. Following that, the summoned plant frenziedly sucked the werewolf dry.

After slaying the werewolf, Canbi's fibrous body started to tremble. The vines that had been severed by the werewolf gathered together and actually regrown.

The Devil was speechless. "Master, what species is he now? A treant?"

— — —

After witnessing the enhancement of the forest elves, Adam once again shifted his attention to the departing Lina and her slaves.

Canbi's abilities were mostly enhanced from his original foundation. However, Adam was very concerned about one point. After devouring the blood of a slain enemy, he could replenish his consumption and temporarily gain the enemy's innate ability. Such an ability was exceedingly useful in battles of the same rank. It was akin to cheating. This signified that the forest elves possessed unparalleled group combat capabilities.

This species had once again given Adam a pleasant surprise. Originally, he had only casually collected them as consumables after arriving at the Dragon Plane. But now, it seemed that even after completing his mission, this species still possessed immense value.

After completing the Planar War in the Mage World, resources were divided into several aspects. Knowledge, energy, and various mysterious items were the most important. However, slaves were similarly a large portion. Every high-ranking mage possessed an enormous slave army, which was an important component of their strength.

Of course, high-ranking mages were those of rank 9 and above, or even Hyperdimensional rank. Mages below that rank were mostly unable to obtain the resources of a slave army. However, exploration mages were an exception. After completing their exploration missions, they would obtain a portion of the spoils in exchange for the ownership rights of an unimportant species. That should be more than enough.

"Any news of Lina?" Adam asked Canbi early in the morning.

"My lord, after master joined the Dragon Slayer Organization, she had already gathered the rest of her species. However, master seems to have encountered some problems."

— — —

Lina was completely unable to grasp the Dragon Slayer Organization's way of doing things. She had already joined for several months, but the highest level she could come into contact with was only that emissary.

Although it was called an organization, its structure was unbelievably loose. The members each did their own thing, with factions standing in great numbers. They were all borrowing the resources of this enormous platform for their own profit. Lina had seen many members of the organization resell the information they obtained, or gather outsiders to carry out private operations.

They were brazen in their actions, but no one came forward to manage them.

Even the emissary who brought Lina back to the organization had disappeared after that day, never appearing before her again.

After her initial hibernation, Lina's courage gradually grew. She recalled all of her slaves and relied on the powerful strength of nearly forty Nature Controllers to obtain a lot of fragmented information from within the organization. She obtained a lot of benefits from this.

She didn't feel that the information she obtained was of any use. It didn't have the slightest effect on the evolution of her bloodline or the growth of her strength. Sometimes, she even began to miss the days when she stayed by Adam's side. At least the growth of her strength back then was real.

However, as time passed, she discovered that the clowns who were constantly jumping up and down were all members who joined in the same period or recently. None of them were old, and no one knew where those old people had gone.

"Where did they go? Or could it be that the true members of the Dragon Slayer Organization aren't even part of the Race Alliance? "Lina and her clansmen were all present in a large room. She softly asked them.

Her clansmen were also at a loss. Their 'eyes and ears' were spread throughout the nearby cities, but they still couldn't obtain any useful information. The true Dragon Slayer Organization seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth.

"Did any emissary appear?"

Lina felt a sense of urgency. Canbi's soul was linked to hers, and she could sense every bit of growth in his strength. She was somewhat afraid. If she couldn't complete the mission and display her worth, she might be abandoned by her master.

Everyone shook their heads. Someone said, "The emissary's whereabouts are mysterious. I suspect they are hiding among the ordinary members."

Lina made up her mind. "Give up on those boring information and missions. Focus on finding the emissary. Even if we only find one," Lina's gaze swept across everyone present. "Then capture him. We can't waste any more time."

— — —

Canbi informed Adam of Lina's situation. Adam was helpless about it, but this was normal. If the Dragon Slayer Organization was truly a faction established by the remnants of the otherworldly invaders, their true upper echelons would definitely conceal their identity and whereabouts.

The only thing Adam could do now, and the most effective method, was to develop the Free Cities with all his might.

There was a high chance that a large city that suddenly rose up in the midst of the Dragon Slayer Organization's territory would attract their attention. Adam's current strength was sufficient to deal with most unexpected situations. As long as an emissary arrived, Adam was confident in obtaining important information.

Thinking of this, Adam spoke to Canbi, who was waiting beside him. "I have a mission for you."

Canbi replied with a straight face, "Please instruct, my lord."

"Bring a few werewolves to the Race Alliance. Lina will assist you. Try to let more people know about the goods and existence of the Free Cities."

Canbi was wild with joy as he accepted the order. At this moment, the Devil's voice resounded in Adam's mind. "Master, ordinary werewolves don't know the information you want. Also, that little wolf has awakened."

— — —

"What is the content of the covenant? Also, why do you hate the dragon race? "Adam arrived at the prison where the werewolves were imprisoned and asked directly.

The little wolf glared hatefully at Adam from within the frozen prison and fiercely said, "Evil dragon, you have betrayed the ancient covenant. One day, you will be abandoned by the world."

Adam waved out a stream of cold air, easily sending the little wolf flying and crashing into the wall. He coldly stared at the little wolf and said, "I ask, you answer. I don't want to hear any nonsense."

The little wolf struggled to get up and bared his tender fangs. "Evil dragon, even if you kill me, you can forget about getting any information from me."

Adam calmly glanced at him and didn't torture him. Instead, he grabbed him out of the prison and brought him to the place where the other werewolves were imprisoned. Without any warning, he chopped off a werewolf's hind limb.

The little wolf howled miserably and pounced at Adam. "Stop!"

Adam allowed the little wolf's fangs to bite his foot. With a squelch, the werewolf's forelimb was also chopped off. The werewolf rolled on the ground and howled miserably.

The little wolf's eyes bulged as he madly bit at Adam. However, even when his fangs were broken, he couldn't leave a single mark on Adam's foot.

"Answer my question."

The little wolf howled with a sobbing tone, but still stubbornly resisted.

"You don't have the ability to refuse my request. You can't even commit suicide."

Adam brought him to another prison. Using the same trick, he lifted the little wolf's body and pressed him against the cage. "I won't kill you, but they will all die because of your stubbornness."

The little wolf's mouth was full of blood, and large drops of tears fell from his eyes. He seemed to have lost the ability to think and could only murmur, "Stop... Stop..."

Adam temporarily released a portion of the energy stored in their bodies that sealed their energy circuits. The werewolves woke up one after another. They were angry and fearful, but none of them begged for mercy. They even tried to kill themselves by slamming their heads against the wall when Adam approached the cage.

"Ted, don't worry about us!" they said. This was indeed a resilient and united race.

Adam's steps didn't change at all. Even his speed was the same. His goal wasn't to kill these "goods," but to use this method to break the little wolf's mental defenses.

Awoo!

Awoo!

The wolves howled one after another. This represented their unyielding will, but to the little werewolf, it was like a knife that cut into his heart.

Squelch.

The sound of limbs being torn apart entered the little wolf's ears for the fifteenth time. His trembling body suddenly calmed down. "Stop. As long as you stop, I can tell you everything I know."

Squelch.

The sixteenth werewolf was torn apart. "Stop! I've already promised you!"

Adam's voice was flat. "You don't have the right to negotiate with me." Adam continued to walk toward the seventeenth werewolf.

The little wolf completely broke down. "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything!"

"The ancient covenant was a guardian covenant signed by all the ancient races. According to the covenant, we guard the borders of every world. We swear that even if our race is destroyed, we will resist the invaders and protect the integrity of the origin. The covenant stipulates that we must help each other. However, because too much time has passed, some of the races at that time have gone extinct. Some have declined. Only a few still exist, but they are unable to produce powerhouses that exceed the elder level. Furthermore, the dragon race forbids elder level powerhouses from entering their territory."

The little wolf broke down and cried. "The dragon race is also a race that signed the covenant. Why, why do you have to do this?"
