“I am a nobleman, a viscount. I can go back and gather the people and collect supplies!” said the magician Mike.
In most worlds, magicians are a noble profession that only a select few can hold, and many countries even grant magicians the status of nobility. Therefore, Mike is the one with the highest status among them.
“I heard about the Dragon God’s ruins when I was young, but I was too weak to go there. If you’re not afraid, I can take you there to see it!” said the shield warrior Tarf.
There are many ruins on any continent, but whether they are real or can be found is another matter entirely. For an old hand like Talf, legends and stories are commonplace.
“I can go back and work with Mike to organize the documents. Some of these documents are only available at the church!” the pastor, Marcia, said timidly.
Joan and Buck also spoke up one after another. Joan chose to return to the city to gather supplies and people, while Buck knew a fourth-tier swordsman and chose to lead the way for Ye Xi and the others.
It's clear that boys are more adventurous; even if the world is on the verge of destruction, they'd rather see if the legend is true. Girls, on the other hand, are more pessimistic and want to find their families as soon as possible to save their lives.
"Ye Zhen, take two-thirds of the goblins and go with them to the town. Tai Shan, you go too. Make sure they are safe!" Ye Xi instructed.
Among Ye Chen's many relatives, the most flexible, adaptable, and resourceful is Ye Zhen, the E's Beast. Even Ye Xi is far inferior to her. With her accompanying him, they will surely bring back many good things and be able to distinguish between genuine and fake items. In addition, with the protection of Mount Tai, they will be safe and sound.
"The rest of you, come with me to find the ruins of the gods and the powerful beings of this world!"
The following morning, both sides set off with their respective teams.
With fourth- or even fifth-tier experts in charge, their actions were much faster than when Talf and the others arrived. Ye Xi even took them flying, standing on the back of the fire crows, and flew in the direction Talf indicated.
Feeling the powerful aura of the fire raven beneath them, Talf and Buck were both afraid and excited. They had never imagined that they would one day be able to ride such a powerful mount. Having a chocobo was enough for them.
The fire crows who came with Ye Xi all possessed strength of at least the third rank. They could easily crush Tarf and his group of professionals who were only at the second rank.
"Legend has it that the Dragon God resides atop the highest mountain in the world, possessing the most powerful strength in the world, and is one of the oldest and most powerful gods!" Flying in the air, Talf pointed to the towering mountain standing amidst the sea of clouds on the horizon and introduced it.
"So later, that mountain was also called Dragon God Mountain. No professional below level 2 could climb it, let alone the countless dragon-blooded creatures in the mountain range."
"Even now, there are still a large number of low-level dragon-blooded creatures living there, and even a powerful mage would find it difficult to climb up!"
Talf said that the Dragon God Mountain Range is world-renowned for its power, and although the group in front of them is powerful, it is not certain that they can climb it.
Not only him, but Buck also thought so. Dragon God Mountain was arguably the most famous mountain range in their world, and it was not something that a few slightly stronger outsiders could just casually break into.
However, Ye Xi was not afraid of this. Fire Crow led everyone directly to the main peak of Dragon God Mountain, that towering mountain that reached into the clouds.
"Roar~~~" Just as they flew into the mountain range and had not yet entered the core area, a series of dragon roars rang out below. Looking down, they found only some huge lizards.
"That's Earth Salamander, with a thin layer of Yellow Dragon blood, capable of mastering a few low-level earth magic spells."
"Furthermore, the Dragon God Mountains are off-limits to air travel, making it easy to be attacked by dragon-like creatures when flying here!"
No sooner had Talf finished speaking than a beastly roar came from below, followed by a thick spike flying towards them.
"Bang!" Ye Xi raised his hand and shattered it. Without even looking down, he said directly to Talf, "It's alright, let's go straight to the main peak!"
The two were stunned for a moment, then nodded silently. After all, it was earth magic cast by a dragon. Even if it was only second or third-tier power, it was still quite shocking that it was shattered so easily.
However, as the group entered the core area of the Dragon God Mountain Range, more and more dragon creatures came out to cause trouble, and most of them even had the ability to fly, making it impossible for Ye Xi and the others to avoid them.
"Caw~~~Caw~~~" The fire crows spewed out a huge sea of fire, killing a group of attacking ground-feathered pterosaurs, which terrified Talf and Buck.
The scene they had envisioned—being intimidated by the dragon's might—did not occur. Instead, a flock of fire crows easily defeated ten times their number of feathered pterosaurs. These were dragon-blooded creatures starting at level 2!
"Woo~~~" The Hou, held in Ye Xi's arms, let out a few soft cries. It felt waves of dragon might here, and having been fed by the giant dragon, it couldn't help but want to go up and fight.
"No rush, they're just some sub-dragons. Don't waste too much time here. We still need to go to the main peak!" Ye Xi said, stroking its long ears to reassure it.
Perhaps the world's power was indeed suppressed. The dragon-blooded creatures that emerged from the core area of the mountain range were only a group of second or third-tier subspecies, not even worthy of her attention. These creatures could be dealt with even by fire crows alone.
Moreover, this is not the dark world. Although there are many dragon creatures in the Dragon God Mountains, their numbers are not as terrifying as the boundless darkness. Each time a dragon blood subspecies rushes out, there are at most only a thousand.
This number of enemies was like a drizzle to Ye Xi and the others, who were used to darkness.
Soothed by Ye Xi, Hou gradually calmed down. However, the fleeting ferocity in its eyes still terrified Talf and Buck. For a moment, they felt as if they had encountered some kind of terrifying beast that could swallow the sun and moon whole.
As the group drew closer, they encountered more and more dragon-blooded creatures. Eventually, the little guy lost his patience, charged out with a roar, and not only the dragon-blooded creatures that rushed out, but the entire Dragon God Mountain Range fell silent.
Talf and Buck felt dizzy. Where were they? This was the Dragon God Mountains! They were actually stunned by the roar of a rabbit? Was the world really going to end? Even their senses were beginning to crumble.
Finally, after several attacks by the Hou and Xuan Niao, they finally arrived at the summit of Dragon God Mountain, a snow-covered peak.
