Chapter 108 Greed certainly breeds courage
White Dragon Mother's face showed a thoughtful look, and then she slowly said in dragon language, "A Frost Giant tribe, numbering around forty, with about half of them being adult Frost Giants, around twenty or so."
Brian frowned slightly and said, "You have quite the nerve, targeting a Frost Giant tribe like that."
If White Dragon Mother had his level of strength, Brian wouldn't be surprised, but White Dragon Mother could only hold her own against a few adult Frost Giants at best.
Greed certainly breeds courage.
Giants, like dragons, are a high-ranking race widely distributed across the Prime Material Plane.
Giants and dragons were once dominant races in many worlds, but a great war left both sides severely weakened, and neither has fully recovered to this day. The Dragon Tribe is actually stronger than the giants, but True Dragons are not united. Even the dragon gods have many disputes, and the combination of internal strife and external wars led to mutual destruction.
Both sides remain powerful, but the days of ruling everything are long gone.
If the Dragon Tribe could unite, the entire Prime Material Plane would still be under their dominion.
Dragons have True Dragons, and giants also have true giants and giant subtypes.
Frost Giants, stone giants, fire giants, cloud giants, hill giants, storm giants... the types of true giants are fewer than True Dragons, totaling six kinds.
Frost Giants, who prefer cold environments, often encounter white dragons who also inhabit such environments, and conflicts are almost inevitable.
Frost Giants take pride in hunting white dragons, and white dragons similarly enjoy using Frost Giant heads as prized trophies to decorate their nests.
As for the strength comparison between these two races, in one-on-one combat, white dragons of the same age group are generally stronger.
Ordinary adult Frost Giants stand about five meters tall, and their body proportions compared to an Adult White Dragon are like those of a human to a tiger.
But the problem is, Frost Giants are social creatures living in tribes of at least dozens, while white dragons usually gather in small numbers, often living solitary lives like White Dragon Mother.
Back to the point, when White Dragon Mother heard Brian's words, her eyes gleamed with astonishing greed, almost drooling as she said, "When I flew over their territory, I discovered a small White Crystal mine vein within the Frost Giant territory."
"A Magical Gem Vein, even a small one, is enough to bring us considerable wealth."
"Brian, I don't believe you're not tempted. Don't you want more gems?"
A small White Crystal mine vein... Hearing this, Brian's eyes lit up, and it was hard to say he wasn't tempted.
Among iron, copper, gold, and silver mines, the most precious are undoubtedly magical gem mines.
Each of these mine veins is formed through endless elemental nourishment, miraculous mineral evolution, and the passage of long ages, with only a very small probability of coming into existence.
A small mine vein can produce at least several hundred magical gems, and if the quality is high, it could even yield over a thousand.
Magical gems are extremely valuable, representing a significant amount of wealth.
"I know of two other white dragons living nearby. If we call them, we can definitely raid the Frost Giant tribe together and show them the power of True Dragons."
White Dragon Mother spoke excitedly, "We could even call that crystal dragon; she also hates Frost Giants."
"Five True Dragons would definitely make them suffer."
Although giants and dragons are arch-enemies, giants are ultimately weaker than dragons.
According to White Dragon Mother, with this number of True Dragons, plus their respective Vassal Armies, they could indeed raid the Frost Giant tribe.
If they were willing to pay a higher price, they could even severely cripple the tribe, leaving it in ruins.
"What do you think? Want to join?"
Brian didn't answer directly but asked, "Besides me, have you already found the other True Dragons?"
White Dragon Mother awkwardly swished her tail and said softly, "Not yet. You were the first one I thought of. I planned to find them after talking to you."
"With you joining, the chances of the other True Dragons joining would be much higher."
Brian had left a deep impression on her.
Brian, who could use Flame spells, was also a significant threat to Frost Giants.
One of the main reasons Frost Giants could fight white dragons was their frost-blue skin, which had strong immunity to Frost Breath. Ordinary cold-based spells also couldn't harm Frost Giants much unless they were of very high rank.
Seeing Brian's current form, White Dragon Mother was even more convinced that if Brian was willing to help, the Frost Giant tribe wouldn't be a problem.
She looked at Brian with great anticipation.
Opposite her, under White Dragon Mother's expectant gaze, Brian slowly shook his head and said, "I won't participate in this."
White Dragon Mother was slightly stunned, then angrily said, "Why? That's a mine vein! Can you just let the Frost Giants enjoy the Magical Gem Vein?"
"I don't believe you have no interest."
Brian smiled slightly and said, "You're right; I won't give up on that mine vein."
Hearing Brian's response, White Dragon Mother was instantly delighted, "You've changed your mind?"
"With you joining, we can definitely seize that mine vein."
Brian's smile faded, and he calmly said, "No, I don't want to share the spoils with other dragons, so I plan to handle it alone."
