Perhaps it was because the rumors about the dragon made the girls even more excited, and in the end, Fang Zheng had no choice but to choose to continue the action with them.

Of course, before that, Fang Zheng did not forget to ask Jasmine to inform the elven village at the foot of the mountain to be careful and guard against it. After all, the elves' defense is not as good as the dwarves'. Even the dwarves fell in an instant, and it would be even worse if it were the elves.

Next, Fang Zheng’s choice is still - to be cowardly!

Although the mission said that he had to investigate the Ice and Snow Peak, it didn't say that he had to go alone. In other words, if something really happened at the Ice and Snow Peak, it would be the dwarves who would be in trouble, not him. Even if there was a demon king at the Ice and Snow Peak who wanted to destroy the world, there were still the Temple and the Goddess of Order to support him. Why would he be so stupid as to rush up there and die alone?

Therefore, adhering to the principle of "never take action without involving the victim", Fang Zheng decided to... contact the dwarves first, and then act according to the situation.

Fang Zheng would not be like the heroes in many stories who would go out and mess around when they find something is not right, and then go find the relevant parties. His attitude has always been that it is okay to do good things by yourself, and it is also okay to do good things without leaving a name, but it must be agreed and acknowledged by the victim. If there is no request or consent from the other party, then he will not take action. This was the case in the Dark Swamp, and Fang Zheng's attitude would not change at the top of the ice and snow.

He would first ask the dwarf if he needed help. If the dwarf said no, Fang Zheng would complete the task with the girls and leave. If the dwarf needed their assistance, Fang Zheng would not mind staying to help them solve this strange problem.

After all, if the other person doesn't want to help, why bother trying to get in the way?

It was not known whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, but just when everyone had prepared everything and was about to move on, suddenly, a roar like thunder suddenly sounded.

"Which damn bastard actually broke through our city gate and killed our compatriots? I will smash you into paste and feed you to the Frost Giants' dogs!!"

Hearing the angry roar, Fang Zheng looked up and saw several dwarves in armor riding underground lizards galloping towards them. They were furious, waving their axes angrily, and rushed towards Fang Zheng and others. Then the leading dwarf suddenly waved his hand, and the next moment the other dwarves uniformly controlled their mounts to block their way.

"By the rock, you damned bastards, I'm going to stuff you all up a lizard's ass, and then..."

"Wait, what are you talking about, you bearded man!"

Before the leading dwarf could finish his words, Jasmine jumped up first.

"Use your stone-like brains and look at us. Do we look like the ones who destroyed this place?"

"Why? They have long ears."

The leading dwarf grunted after taking a look at Jasmine who had jumped out. Then he carefully looked at Fang Zheng and the other girls. Perhaps he also felt that this combination did not seem to be threatening at all, so he put down the axe in his hand.

"What's going on? Why are you bringing these humans here instead of staying in the woods?"

"What's wrong with me coming? The Ice and Snow Peak is your home? Will it respond if you call it?"

It seems that the relationship between dwarves and elves is really not that good.

Looking at this scene, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh. In his opinion, Jasmine was a relatively docile and introverted elf girl, but when she met the dwarves, she quarreled like a little tiger. It seemed that the "bad fate" between these two races was really deep...

But Fang Zheng certainly wouldn't let the two continue arguing, after all, now was not the time to discuss the racial disputes between elves and dwarves. So Fang Zheng quickly inserted himself between the two and interrupted their meaningless conversation.

"Here's the thing. We are a team from the Order Alliance. A few days ago, we came to the Forest of Life..."

Standing in front of the dwarves, Fang Zheng quickly recounted everything that had happened during this period of time. After listening to Fang Zheng's narration, the dwarves' originally angry expressions gradually began to change.

"That means... those long-eared people are facing the same trouble as us?"

"Yes, at that time we just thought that this was most likely an action against the elves, but now it seems that things are not that simple..."

"Well...if that's the case, it's really strange..."

Hearing this, the dwarf also fell into deep thought, but soon, he seemed to give up thinking.

"Forget it, let's talk about this later. Let me send someone to collect the bodies of my compatriots first."

"I said beard."

Looking at the dwarf, Jasmine now asked curiously.

"You came from Jinshi City, right? Didn't you encounter any monsters along the way? We just saw a lot of monster footprints heading towards the top of the ice and snow."

"No, we haven't seen even a mouse on the way here!"

"Then they must have gone to the peak of the ice and snow."

After hearing the dwarf's answer, Jasmine immediately looked at Fang Zheng.

"There are only two roads leading to the top of the ice and snow. One leads to the Dwarf City, and the other leads directly to the top of the mountain. If those monsters didn't go to the Golden Stone City, then they must have gone to the top of the mountain!"

"You guys plan on going to the top of the mountain?"

The dwarf was about to turn around and leave, but after hearing these words, he came closer. He glanced at Jasmine and then at Fang Zheng.

"Human, you said you were going to look for the mastermind behind these tragedies?"

"That's about right."

Facing the dwarf's question, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders. What could he do? This was a system task, so how could he not do it? Unless he wanted a random skill -1 - which was of course impossible.

"I'll go with you too!"

After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the dwarf reached out and knocked on the armor on his chest, then he looked at the magic power proudly.

"As for climbing trees in the forest, those long-eared ones are good at it. But as for advancing through caves, that is the skill of us dwarves! Since you are going to look for the murderers who killed our compatriots, I want to go with you. If those bastards really go to the top of the Ice and Snow Peak, I can take you on a shortcut, which will definitely be faster than the long-eared ones leading the way!"

"you--!"

Hearing the dwarf's words, Jasmine gripped her longbow angrily, puffed up her cheeks and glared at the dwarf. It looked as if she was going to make a hole in the dwarf's head. But just as the dwarf said, leave the forest to the elves, and the underground caves are more suitable for the dwarves.

The dwarf was also impetuous in character. After making the suggestion, he made a decision on his own without waiting for Fang Zheng and others to respond. He grabbed the dwarf soldier next to him and began to give orders loudly.

"Hey, you guys stay here. You, go back to Jinshi City and report what's happening here to the Dwarf King. Ask him to send people to take turns guarding here. We must not let those frost giant bastards take advantage of the situation! I'll go see what dares to attack us dwarves. My battle axe will not let it go!"

This dwarf seemed to be an officer of high rank. He gave the order very quickly and then waved his hand suddenly at Fang Zheng and the others.

"Okay, human, long ears, let's go! Follow me, I know a shortcut nearby!"

After saying this, the dwarf drove the underground lizard to run quickly back the way it came. Looking at this scene, Fang Zheng looked at everyone helplessly.

What else can I do? I just have to follow him?
