Chapter 12: People From Outside Dragon God Village

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Time flew.

Matthew wandered the Maar Mountains for three days.

Through the Godly Treasure Hunting System, he found seven Tier 1 herbs.

These herbs were of little use to Heber.

Matthew planned to sell the seven herbs after finding a human city in exchange for some money to buy the powder of the Dark Dragon Stone and Blood Dragon Demon Crystal.

In the past three days, Heber’s injuries had recovered significantly.

Even if it encountered a mutated beast like the Polar Hound again, it wouldn’t be in such a sorry state like last time.

Even if it could not end the battle quickly, it could at least defeat its opponent!

On the fourth day.

Matthew wandered in the Maar Mountains as usual.

He was currently searching for a path to a human city.

Soon, he made a pleasant discovery as he moved forward.

“There are humans ahead!”

Matthew saw many human footprints on the damp ground.

According to the footprints, there should be three men and two women.

Furthermore, the footprints were still fresh. This meant that the other party had just passed by this place and was not too far away from him.

“Heber, hurry!”

Matthew told Heber to grow bigger and fly him to find these humans.

“Roar!”

Heber let out a dragon’s roar.

Then, its body immediately transformed into a 30 meters tall dragon!

Matthew rolled onto its back just as Heber lowered its head.

Whoosh.

Heber flapped its huge wings and soared into the sky.

A hurricane roared, overturning the surrounding trees.

In just a few moments, Heber had already turned into a small black dot in the distance.

Matthew was sitting on Heber’s head, looking down on the Maar Mountains. Everything below looked minuscule to him. A huge mammoth looked like an ant.

“What’s going on? Logically speaking, they shouldn’t have been able to move so far on foot…”

After a minute, Matthew frowned.

Those five people had just left. No matter how fast they were, it was impossible for them to be that fast.

Heber flew at a speed of more than ten kilometers per minute. How could he still not see the five people?

“There’s a problem.”

Matthew lowered his head and shouted, “Heber, let’s go back.”

It wasn’t easy to encounter humans, and he still had to rely on them to bring him to the human city. How could he let anything happen to them?

Heber obediently growled in response to its master before flapping its wings and returning.

Before long, they returned to the area with the footprints.

Although this place had been damaged to some degree when Heber rose into the air, he could still chase after them through the footprints.

After Heber landed on the ground, it returned to its palm-sized form and came to Matthew’s shoulder.

Matthew, on the other hand, immediately followed the footprints.

Ten minutes later, the footprints suddenly disappeared after traveling a kilometer or two.

“What happened?”

Matthew watched the footprints disappear from the ground, and was lost in thought.

“Disappearing into thin air… Do they have a flying pet too?”

Matthew looked up at his surroundings.

Nothing was damaged… This meant that there was no flying pet.

It was also possible that the flying pet was relatively small in size and did not cause a strong blast when it took off.

But how could a small flying pet carry five people?

Could it be that they really disappeared into thin air?

Matthew was puzzled.

“Heber, fly up and see if there are any unusual areas.”

Heber nodded obediently, then flapped its tiny wings and flew into the sky.

Matthew, on the other hand, looked down and wondered where the five men had gone.

People couldn’t just disappear.

If they could not be seen, it could only mean they were somewhere else.

It was just that Matthew hadn’t seen them yet.

“Aawoo…”

A moment later, Heber returned to Matthew’s shoulder.

It transmitted what it saw to Matthew through its thoughts.

“You are saying there is nothing unusual nearby?”

Matthew’s frown deepened.

“Did they really fly away?”

“But if they had flying pets, why didn’t they fly at the beginning but waited until they entered the depths of the Maar Mountains?”

Matthew felt a sudden headache.

“Forget it. If we can’t find them, then let it be. We can go to human cities ourselves.”

Matthew shook his head with a frustrated expression, and he decided to ignore this matter as it would only add to his troubles.

There were so many ways to go to a human city. There was no need for him to waste time on five people he had never seen before.

“Let’s go.”

Matthew muttered and prepared to leave.

However, right at this moment, a flying mutated beast appeared in the air before plummeting toward Matthew.

This caused Matthew to immediately become vigilant, and he looked at the other party solemnly.

Bang!

Before it even landed on the ground, the mutated beast turned into specks of starlight and dissipated.

A girl with messy clothes and a pale face fell from its back.

Hope flared in the girl’s eyes when she saw Matthew, and she limped toward him.

However, due to her body’s condition, the young girl only took a few steps before she fell heavily onto the ground.

“Save… me…”

The young girl reached out for help and said weakly.

Matthew hesitated for a moment, then decided to check the situation.

After all, if he wanted to leave the Maar Mountains as soon as possible, he had to rely on others. It was too slow for him to figure out his own path. There was not much time left for him.

If the young girl was not in serious trouble, Matthew would be happy to save her.

Matthew stepped forward to help the girl to her feet. “What happened to you?” he asked.

It was only then that he saw the girl’s injuries were not a big issue. Her pet must have been the one to suffer a serious injury.

“We were attacked by a mutated beast.”

The girl’s face was extremely beautiful. Her face was pale due to her injuries, making her look even more sickly and beautiful.

“All of you?” Matthew realized that there was trouble.

“Yes.” The girl nodded. “I have four companions.”

“Don’t move first. I’ll treat your injuries.”

Matthew supported the young girl to a large tree and sat her down before pulling out a Tier 1 Herb.

This was what he had found in the Maar Mountains over the past three days through the Godly Treasure Hunting System.

“Petite Grass!”

When the young girl saw the tier 1 medicinal herb in Matthew’s hands, she couldn’t help but exclaim softly.

“This is too expensive. I can’t accept it.”

The girl waved her hands at Matthew and refused.

Although the Petite Grass was a Tier 1 herb, it was expensive because it was very effective on mutated beasts and Beast Tamers.

In their city, one Petite Grass could buy a house.

This young man was actually willing to use it to save her!

If the young man asked her for a huge sum of money… it would not be worth it.

Matthew replied with a cold expression, “It’s alright, just return me a stalk of Petite Grass in the future.”

When the young girl heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes. However, she still said very politely, “Thank you so much.”
