Chapter 54 Endless Glacier
From the cave entrance, Thor looked down and saw several young blue dragons dragging the informant like a dead dog, casually tossing him onto the gentle slope below the Gobi Desert.
Judging from the scales that had fallen off his body, the bloodstains of varying depths, and the charred marks left by electric current, it was clear that he had resisted during the capture process, and as a result, he was brutally beaten by his companions.
After all, the anger that had been building up inside them due to being forced into this situation needed to be vented somewhere.
Since they dared not direct their anger at Thor, they could only vent their resentment on the young dragon that had implicated them.
Thor, who witnessed this scene, inexplicably found himself somewhat uninterested.
The blue dragon hatchling in front of us was already powerless to resist, so what's the point of beating a punching bag that can't move?
However, it was absolutely impossible to let him go so easily, so Thor growled in a low voice.
"You did a good job. Next, knock all of this guy's teeth out, not a single one!"
Seeing the hesitant expressions on the faces of the blue dragon hatchlings, Thor's eyes narrowed instantly, and his voice suddenly turned cold and stern.
"Aren't you going to make a move? If you don't attack him, I'm going to attack you."
Upon hearing this, the blue dragon hatchlings immediately stopped hesitating.
Since we've already fought with this snitch, fighting him again doesn't seem to make much difference.
With this thought, their minds suddenly cleared. One of the blue dragon cubs grabbed the informant's scalp and lifted his head up, while the other two swung their claws and attacked from both sides.
After a few muffled thuds, the pure white and delicate dragon teeth scattered all over the ground.
Seeing this, Thor nodded in satisfaction.
After confirming that all of the baby dragon's teeth had been knocked away, he waved his claws, signaling the blue dragon hatchlings to drag him away.
During this time, several notifications of increased essence flashed below his line of sight, adding up to about 2 points.
This was a small boost to his already depleted essence balance after he obtained the Great Wild Boar King monster template.
Looking at the blue dragon hatchling that was being dragged away, its eyes were filled with resentment and malice. Clearly, it was he who provided the bulk of those two essences.
At this moment, he is probably already plotting how he will get revenge in the future.
Thor, however, didn't care at all.
He has plenty of power and means to deal with such idiots, and if he can find a suitable opportunity when he goes out next time, he wouldn't mind just killing them outright.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. As the dawn broke, all the young dragons flew down to the top of the Gobi Desert on time, quietly waiting for Leilia's arrival.
It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky that the young blue dragon slowly appeared on the distant horizon.
After landing, she glanced at the baby dragons around her, and after confirming that the number was correct, she shouted "Follow me!" and took to the air again.
More than twenty young dragons followed in groups of three or five, and from a distance, they looked like a five-colored rainbow stretching across the sky.
Vast stretches of desolate Gobi Desert were left behind, and the temperature gradually dropped. After some time, the rolling white snow-capped mountains could be seen in the distance.
The moment Thor saw those snow-capped mountains, he felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
The situation seems a bit bad. Will the next battle take us deep into those snow-capped mountains?
As a red dragon that is compatible with both fire and earth elements, he naturally dislikes low-temperature environments.
Moreover, the fire element content in the snow mountain is extremely low, which will seriously affect the recovery of his magic power and reduce the power of his breath.
The only thing that remains unaffected is probably his formidable physical condition.
No wonder there were so many white dragons among his batch of young dragons. Thor had wondered before how there could be white dragons in the desert. It turns out they all came from these continuous snow-capped mountains.
So, what will their next enemy be? A small frost giant tribe? Barbarians of the highlands? Or perhaps a white dragon?
As the vast expanse of white glaciers draws ever closer into view, the elevation of the terrain also increases accordingly.
A biting wind swept by, and the endless mountain peaks rose abruptly from the ground, inspiring awe at the power of nature.
To Thor's relief, Leilia did not lead them into the depths of the glacier, but instead searched along the dividing line between the glacier and the desert.
Several more days passed in the blink of an eye, and just when Thor was getting a little impatient with flying, they finally arrived at their destination—an ice-covered canyon nestled between two snow-capped mountains.
Perhaps due to the magical energy, the climate of this world is much more distinct than that of the world Thor lived in his previous life.
Between the desert and the glacier, there seems to be an invisible dividing line. Although the two places are not far apart, they present completely different environments.
Leilia, leading her many young dragons, stopped at the entrance of the canyon. As a blue dragon, she also disliked the harsh environment. After a brief rest, she continued flying into the canyon.
A biting wind blew in his face, carrying flakes of pure white snowflakes that landed on Thor, making a soft "hiss" sound as they melted away at his extremely high body temperature.
The harsh environment not only made him feel uncomfortable, but even the green and black dragon hatchlings showed expressions of disgust on their faces.
Only those idiots who originally lived in the endless glaciers were now like huskies returning to the snow, their faces full of excitement.
After advancing for about ten more miles, the canyon suddenly opened up, revealing a coniferous forest surrounded by mountains, interspersed with some hardy birch trees.
On the forest side near the canyon entrance, a large number of trees had been felled to build a makeshift camp, where human figures could be seen moving about.
Thor recognized the orcs inside, as well as the dragonborn with blue scales.
It seems that this is not the enemy they are dealing with, but rather a member of the Blue Dragon Clan.
As expected, Leilia led the baby dragons straight toward the camp.
A dragonborn atop a watchtower quickly noticed the approaching shadowy figures. Then, the melodious sound of bull horns rang out, and the entire camp erupted in a cacophony of cheers.
Seemingly having known in advance about the impending arrival of Leilia and the young dragons, a huge tent had already been erected in the open area in the center of the camp.
The tent was supported by a thick tree trunk and covered with a large amount of animal hides. Although it looked somewhat rudimentary, it was enough to protect against the constant cold winds from the outside.
After landing with her flock of young dragons, Leilia, who had had enough of the harsh environment, gave a few instructions to one of the particularly tall dragonborn who came to greet her, and then disappeared into her tent.
Two blue dragon hatchlings seemed to want to follow, but she turned around and gave them a warning look, so they had no choice but to stop.
The young dragons were left alone on the spot, their bodies exposed to the cold wind.
