Chapter 125 Night Attack by the Wolf Pack
Under the bright moonlit sky, three giant dragons bathed in moonlight flapped their wings and soared, moving swiftly at an altitude of several thousand meters.
But no other creatures noticed their presence.
A nearly solid cloud of mist enveloped the dragons' bodies, concealing their figures and auras entirely. Even if someone felt the massive airflow as they passed by, it would still be difficult to detect the three hidden dragons.
The Cloud Fog Technique, jointly cast by Brian and two adult white dragons, could block ninety percent of sensory abilities.
With no obstacles in the high sky, flying in a straight line between two points was quick. It didn't take long for the three dragons to descend to a region of continuous, towering snow-capped mountains.
Brian looked down, his long-distance vision piercing through the mist and the night, seeing the Frost Giant tribe thousands of meters below.
Ten-meter-high stone walls, towering ancient houses, and adult Frost Giants, each at least five meters tall... Rather than a tribe, the first impression here was more like a grand fortress.
The Frost Giant tribe was backed by a small snow-capped mountain about a hundred meters high, and a large area at the foot of the mountain was their territory.
In a certain area at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, Brian saw some six to seven-meter-tall adult Frost Giants, holding terrifying giant axes or stone hammers, patrolling the surroundings. Their pale blue skin was very conspicuous under the night sky.
A faint glow of elemental light caught Brian's attention.
Near these adult Frost Giants, who were clearly guarding something, Brian saw a dense glow of elemental light.
It was the elemental light of the magical gemstone White Crystal. Although it was deep within the snow-capped mountain, the elemental light emitted through the mountain was still as bright as a candle in the dark.
"The White Crystal mine vein is right under this small snow-capped mountain."
Brian discreetly withdrew his gaze and began to observe the scene within the Frost Giant tribe.
Indeed, as the White Dragon Mother had said, their numbers were around forty, with more than twenty adult Frost Giants. Each stood like a towering iron tower on the ground, some surrounding a large iron cage made of steel, watching the creatures inside with great interest.
Inside the iron cage, the White Dragon Mother roared fiercely at the Frost Giants.
"You filthy, ugly creatures, if you don't release the great True Dragon, you will all taste the wrath of the True Dragon!"
Whoosh!
A Frost Breath was unleashed, aimed at a nearby adult Frost Giant.
But when the Dragon's Breath reached the gaps of the iron cage, the thick cylindrical iron bars lit up with a circle of blinking runes, blocking the Frost Breath.
This cage seemed to be specially designed to imprison white dragons.
Whether it was the Frost Breath or other attacks, it was difficult to break through, especially since the White Dragon Mother was not in good condition.
Her body had large areas of shattered and dented scales, as if struck by heavy objects, and some penetrating wounds. Her spirit was much more sluggish than usual, and the Frost Breath she had just unleashed was very weak.
If the White Dragon Mother were in her prime, this iron cage wouldn't be able to hold her for long.
The Frost Giants didn't understand dragon language and couldn't comprehend the White Dragon Mother's words. They just looked at her with a strange gaze, discussing excitedly among themselves.
The White Dragon Mother also didn't understand the Giant Language and didn't know what the Frost Giants were saying, but she could clearly see the look in their eyes. It was the look of someone viewing a trophy. The Frost Giants were excited because they had captured a white dragon.
High in the sky, within the clouds, Brian observed the reactions of the Frost Giants and the White Dragon Mother.
The White Dragon Mother was not in any immediate danger; the Frost Giants would never easily kill a living white dragon, as it was their most prized trophy.
Meanwhile, Holmes and Graham turned to Brian, whispering, "Sir, should we act now? Or wait for the reinforcements to arrive before launching the attack?"
Seeing the number of Frost Giants, they felt a bit apprehensive.
There were quite a few adult Frost Giants, and some robust ones among them. The most intimidating was a massive Frost Giant, ten meters tall, with several scars on its cheeks.
It wore little clothing, just a simple layer of animal skin around its waist like the other Frost Giants.
But its formidable aura made the surrounding wind and snow freeze.
An elder Frost Giant.
A twenty-meter-long dragon typically has a shoulder height of around four meters, and in terms of sheer size, it couldn't match an elder Frost Giant.
Like dragons, Frost Giants grew stronger and more robust with age.
Their physical abilities remained at their peak until the end of their lifespan.
"An elder Frost Giant... probably at the same stage as an ancient dragon, an ancient Frost Giant."
Brian didn't respond to the white dragon's words, carefully observing the Frost Giant with a contemplative look.
Unlike the White Dragon Mother and Greas, Brian could accurately determine a creature's age, a talent unique to Time Dragons.
Dragons and giants aged between four hundred and six hundred years were considered elders, while those between six hundred and eight hundred years were ancient. Beyond that, they would break the limits of their lifespan and become ancient-level beings.
The exact lifespan varied, and dragons and giants in their elder stage could die naturally.
The towering Frost Giant in Brian's sight was over seven hundred years old, already in the ancient stage.
Despite its intimidating appearance and aura, it might close its eyes forever tomorrow. Creatures that could break the limits of their lifespan were exceedingly rare.
Brian's Plunder Time breath wasn't very effective against ordinary adult Frost Giants, but it was extremely lethal to the more powerful ancient Frost Giants.
He felt only a slight threat from the ancient Frost Giant, far from being dangerous.
At the same age, a Frost Giant was slightly weaker than a white dragon in a one-on-one fight. Even an ancient Frost Giant was not a legendary creature and still had a long way to go to reach that level.
However, at this age, it must have acquired a lot of magical knowledge... Brian's eyes flickered as he said to the White Dragon Guards, "Do not act rashly for now."
As for the White Dragon Mother still imprisoned, since she wasn't in any immediate danger or being tortured, Brian wasn't in a hurry to rescue her.
He actually wanted her to suffer a bit.
The immature White Dragon Mother was arrogant, conceited, and impulsive. She had even attempted to attack the Frost Giant tribe alone... Brian hoped this experience would teach her a lesson.
Moreover, a direct attack might alert the Frost Giants that they were there to rescue the dragon, prompting them to kill the White Dragon Mother first.
Given the White Dragon Mother's poor condition and her location at the center of the Frost Giant tribe, surrounded by the most Frost Giants, it would take less than a breath for the Frost Giants to kill her if they wanted to.
