Chapter 171 Gold Fang's Encounter
North of Storm Peaks, the Fennec Hills.

A group of more than a thousand kobolds were moving slowly on the hills. From a distance they looked like a group of ants. They were the kobold transport team of the Burning Ashes Kingdom.

"Hurry up and transport all the gold. This is what Lord Trump personally ordered."

"Snapped!"

Jin Ya held the whip and lashed the ground hard, commanding the gnolls at the entrance of the mine.

As the followers who stayed in Storm Peak, the dog-headed people were still responsible for mining and transportation. They transported gold nuggets from the mines day and night, and their work was actually considered diligent. The reason was that those with outstanding performance would be given dragon vein potion and become the legendary winged dog-headed people - "Erd".

As the effect of the Dragon Vein's Gift continues to deepen, Jin Ya can now even transform himself into a Dragon Vein Gnoll and bestow the Bloodline Gift.

Gold Fang now looks more and more like a real dragon. Although it still stands on two feet, it is more than four meters long from head to tail. Its head is like a dragon cub, and there are bone spurs growing on its back. However, the Gold Fang in its mouth appears much smaller due to its expanded body.

Seeing a kobold stumble and fall, Gold Fang roared.

"Roar--"

"Hurry up, boys, don't you want to grow wings?"

Now Jin Ya’s roar doesn’t sound like a dog’s bark, but more like the roar of a newborn dragon.

The kobold struggled to get up from the ground, picked up the gold ore scattered on the ground, and muttered to himself.

"Tsk, it's just luck, no need to show off."

"Even if I'm an Ede, I can do it in the future."

This dog-headed man is named Black Fang, named after his teeth that are so yellow that they look black. Dog-headed people like this way of naming very much.

Although he said he was not convinced, Heiya still packed up the ore in the backpack, shook his body, and rode non-stop to catch up with the team.

"Wait for me--"

But the team had already gone very far, and Black Fang couldn't catch up for a while.

An inexplicable cold wind whistled from behind, causing the cold-fearing ogre to shiver.

"hiss--"

"Great Red Dragon, it's so cold at this time."

The chill grew stronger and stronger, coming from behind, making Hei Ya's movements slower and slower, with a thin layer of frost covering the surface of his scales.

Just when Black Fang wanted to cry for help, a huge shadow enveloped him.

He raised his head slowly, and then an expression of extreme fear appeared on that ugly face.

"This, this is."

He saw a frost giant over six meters tall, wearing a horned helmet and rough armor made of wild animal skins and bones, holding a battle axe and looking at him.

The frost giant opened his mouth and smiled ferociously.

“Ugly little thing.”

"It must feel good to crush you."

Black Fang tried to escape quickly, but the cold wind had already made his movements stiff. He looked up in horror and saw the animal-skin wrapped foot growing bigger and bigger in the dog-headed man's sight.

"puff!"

All that could be heard was the sound of flesh and bones being crushed, and the kobolds were trampled into meat patties by the frost giants.

The frost giant rubbed his soles on the ground without caring and said impatiently: "Why are there so many little guys like this along the way? There's nothing on them that can be stolen."

Behind him, there were forty frost giants. They were scouts of the Everfrost Tribe, sent by their chief Kasa to scout the situation in Storm Peaks.

"Tema, don't forget the mission of the patriarch."

"Don't waste your time on these insignificant weaklings." The Frost Giant who spoke had a deep voice. He was the leader of this team.

This frost giant was different from others. He was half a head taller than his companions. He wore clothes made of scales, held a long bone pick in his hand, and had a long tusk pendant hanging on his chest.

Frost giants sew clothes from animal skins and bones, carve with bones and ivory, and repurpose the weapons and armor of smaller enemies - for example, they sew multiple shields together into armor, and tie sword blades to wooden handles to make spears. Most of the equipment on the frost giants is this kind of messy stuff.

But for them, the best spoils come from dragon-slaying battles. Those great Frost Giant chiefs all wear armor made of dragon scales and wield weapons made of dragon bones - this Frost Giant chief is no exception.

His name is Baya Yongshuang, Kasa's younger brother and the captain of the Frost Giant Hunting Team. He also participated in the battle to kill the white dragon.

The frost giant called "Tema" pointed ahead and said:

"Captain Baya, these dog-headed men are not insignificant. Look ahead, they are clearly a team."

"We can pry open their mouths and learn about the situation nearby. After all, we frost giants haven't moved south in large numbers for decades."

Baya said coldly: "What you said makes sense, then... defeat them."

The cold wind howled and the ground rumbled.

Several frost giants riding on tundra land dragons rushed forward like moving hills, crushing hundreds of kobolds.

Baya rushed to the front with a grim face and killed more than ten gnolls with one pickaxe. Those gnolls, whose tallest was not even up to his knees, looked as ridiculous as ants that could be crushed at any time in front of him.

"Enemy attack!"

"Oh my God, what is that?"

"Damn it, it's a frost giant!"

"The frost giants are moving south! The frost disaster is coming!"

The dog-headed people howled and cried like dogs barking, and fled in all directions.

The dragon blood flowing in their bodies makes the gnolls brave and fierce, but that is only limited to human militias. In the face of the absolute power of the frost giants, any resistance is nonsense.

The situation was critical. Jin Ya flapped his wings and flew into the air. He was also extremely panicked, but he subconsciously stabilized the situation:
"Hold on, boys!"

"They are just some big human fools!"

"You must hold on until reinforcements from the kingdom arrive!"

Baya was attracted by this familiar voice. He looked up into the air, his eyes slightly narrowed, and a hint of excitement flashed in his ice-blue pupils.

"This is a young dragon?"

The frost giant licked his lips.

Baya did not recognize it as a kobold, but instead thought it was a crooked dragon hatchling and was very excited about it.

"I didn't expect to get such an unexpected gain. The blood of this dragon must taste delicious. It's probably different from the white dragon."

"It'll be my best trophy!"

Baya turned over and jumped off the tundra dragon, picked up a rock from the ground and threw it directly into the air.

"Whoosh-"

The stone drew an arc in the air and was dodged by Jin Ya who reacted quickly.

But without giving him any extra time to prepare, Baya clenched the bone pickaxe in his hand, jumped more than ten meters high, and directly used the pickaxe head to pull the winged dog-headed man down from the air.

"Dragon, I'm going to rip your skin off!"

The Frost Giant grabbed Gold Fang's wings with his right hand and roared excitedly.
