The heavy rain in the night flooded over the sentry post like melted Black Oil, washing away the metal plate-reinforced tower body and converging into turbid currents at the grooves.

Gnoll Knight was wet, holding half a pickled lizard tail in his mouth, and his tawny pupils shrank into thin lines.

Its hyena mount [Iron Fang] was scratching its ears with its hind legs, and the chain-woven saddle made a clattering sound with the movement.

"It seems like something is approaching."

The Kobold sentry on the sentry tower looked into the distance and said uncertainly.

"Bet White Crystal Coin, your broken telescope will see the ground lizard again, and you will think it is an enemy attack."

Gnoll Knight kicked the Ogre guard next to him.

As for the White Crystal Coin in its mouth.

This is currency made by melting diamond powder mixed with some white ores, and it flows in the Molten Iron Clan. It took Iron Dragon Sorog a year to make the monsters of the Molten Iron Clan understand the importance of currency, and bid farewell to the original trading method of bartering.

The work of melting and minting money is the responsibility of the red dragon Alchemist Samantha.

The diamonds produced from Symbiotic Pool are not conventional decorations. They are harder than steel and difficult to handle. Only the red dragon Alchemist, with its violence and flames, can easily manufacture White Crystal Coin in large quantities, as well as weapons and equipment doped with diamonds.

In several dragons of the Molten Iron Clan.

Not counting the lord Garos.

After him, the richest person today is Samantha.

Samantha, who has become rich, is very satisfied with the path of Alchemist. He feels that Garos has not deceived him. He is proud of the choice he made and is grateful for trusting Garos.

Back to business.

Ogre The guard was leaning next to the brazier in the sentry tower, using his giant palm to roast a bunch of meat from an unknown creature. The grease dripped into the charcoal fire, making a sizzling sound. Mixed with the sound of rain, it felt strangely peaceful.

The muscular gray hyena suddenly raised its ears, stopped itching, and let out a low whimper from its throat.

Gnoll Knight reflexively held down the scimitar, and rainwater dripped down the seams of its claws.

Ogre The guard's head didn't respond. The burnt aroma of the meat made him unconscious, and his mouth kept drooling.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Kobold The sentry seemed to have seen some terrible monster in the rain, as if its tail had been stepped on, and he let out a piercing scream and blew the warning horn.

The next second, a subtle tremor came from the entire foundation of the sentry tower, and the charcoal fire in the brazier was extinguished.

On the distant horizon, a shadow darker than night tore through the rain curtain.

At first it was just a vague outline, but as the distance got closer, the figure gradually became clear - it was a terrifying giant beast that was taller than the sentry tower. Its white fur was covered with ice Blue Dragon's cold air, and the rain on its body evaporated into white mist and condensed into ice crystals.

Every step it takes makes the earth tremble, and branch-like cracks open and extend.

Its speed is very fast. When the distance is closer, the whole picture is revealed in Gnoll Knight's eyes.

This is a giant humanoid beast with thick limbs, a pair of forelimbs as strong as a giant gorilla, mammoth-like fangs protruding from its mouth, white hair all over its body, blood-red eyes, and a body length of nearly twenty meters.

"Ancestral Spirit is on top."

Gnoll Knight's pupils shrank to the size of a pinhead.

The giant beast's scarlet eyes were like two wheels of Blood Moon in the heavy rain. It raised its head and let out a deafening roar, and the sound wave overturned the nearest watchtower.

"Hammer your skull and drink blood, break your bones into song!"

All the guards named Ogre stood up, roared the group slogan, and faced the giant beast. The Iron Will warriors were shaking a little, and they charged with Ogre. However, in front of the giant beast, Ogre was knocked away like a toy, and the other Gnoll Kobold and others were directly crushed, beaten, and turned into pulp.

Dire Wolf Knight, Hyena Knight and other iron cavalry were galloping, relying on their speed and agility to harass.

Phew!

The giant beast breathed out a biting cold air, turning all the rain in the sky into ice crystal particles, and the water on the ground turned into ice. The bodies of the knights were almost frozen, and the limbs of their mounts were frozen.

Soon, the monsters began to disperse.

As intelligent creatures, when they realize that they are completely outmatched and are being massacred, their morale will naturally weaken, and they will break up and run away.

Kobold The sentry looked panicked and spread a pair of wings behind him.

A few Kobolds are born with wings and can fly, and this sentry is one of them.

It flapped its wings desperately in the rain. Looking back, I saw that the giant beast did not deliberately pursue the remaining soldiers after destroying the sentry tower blocking the road. It just wandered aimlessly in the direction of Shingle Beach.

Conifer Valley.

Sorog shook the rainwater between his scales. The cold and wet feeling made Iron Dragon feel uncomfortable, but what made it even more uneasy was what happened before.

The sentry stationed further north of Shingle Beach was attacked by a giant beast.

The stationed monsters were defeated, but not all died. Those who were lucky enough to survive reported the matter immediately.

After receiving the information, Iron Dragon went to investigate in person and saw that the target had crossed Shingle Beach and was heading in the direction of Quenching Heights.

Because it recognized the target's identity, Iron Dragon Sorog did not overestimate its capabilities and test it. It knew that it was no match, so it immediately informed its brother, Molten Iron Clan, the real king.

"You mean, there is a Frost Behemoth approaching Quenching Heights?"

Garos wrinkled the skin on his forehead, stopped his daily neck-circling exercise, and said.

"Yes! I suspect it comes from Permafrost Tundra."

Cross Estonia River and head north, leaving the wilderness area and gradually approaching Permafrost Tundra.

This place is also called Permafrost Icefield, Cold Desert, and is the territory of Frost Giant, White Dragon, Winter Ghost Undead and other creatures, as well as Silver Dragon.

Permafrost Tundra The environment is harsh and barren.

From time to time, some powerful ferocious beasts and monsters migrate towards Ser Wilderness.

The sentry post that was attacked before is located north of Shingle Beach, close to the Estonia River, in order to prepare for attacks from further north.

Although it was destroyed, it completed its original mission and will be rebuilt later.

"I initially thought it was the vanguard of a certain Frost Giant tribe who wanted to come to Ser Wilderness to expand its territory, but after careful inspection, I didn't find any Frost Giant accompanying it behind."

Iron Dragon said solemnly.

Garos closed his eyes slightly, thoughtfully.

Behemoth is not a creature in the traditional sense, but a biological weapon created by the Giant clan in ancient times to fight against Dragon Race. It has quite terrifying power, but has no wisdom. It is similar to Beast, and is often driven and controlled by Giant warlocks.

Frost Behemoth mainly exists in the super large Frost Giant tribe.

"It's wandering aimlessly, but the overall direction is heading towards Quenching Heights."

"If it gets close to Shattered Stone Camp's Symbiotic Pool and causes damage, our losses will be serious."

Iron Dragon whispered.

Shattered Stone Camp refers to the original Stone Giant Camp, and the Symbiotic Pool inside is the most precious resource of the Molten Iron Clan today. The high-quality ore produced can not only make equipment, but can also be used for trading. It is a strategic resource and cannot be lost.

The combat units of Star-Shattering Hammer Warband, including Kalu, are mainly stationed at Shattered Stone Camp.

But with the strength of Frost Behemoth, if they were encountered, they might not be able to resist.

When Iron Dragon Sorog is fine, he won't bother Garos.

It knows that Garos is more focused on its own strength, and now it has come here deliberately. Its meaning is already obvious, and it wants Garos to take action to solve this matter.

Except Garos.

No one can solve it.

If it were to lead the battle group in an encirclement and suppression attack, use its lives to destroy Frost Behemoth's life, there would be a chance to defeat it, but Molten Iron Clan would definitely pay an extremely heavy price.

Garos waved his wings, and the strong wind rolled up the rain curtain like water waves.

"Lead the way."

He spoke concisely and concisely, letting Iron Dragon guide him in the direction.

He didn't know where Frost Behemoth came from, which made him feel a little threatened and he couldn't let it go.
