Otto escaped, and with such a big figure it was extremely difficult for him to do anything without attracting attention.
Chimera would not forget the guy who provoked it first. Driven by its evil vengeful nature, it gave up attacking the human adventurers surrounding it and instead flew into the air, chasing Otto.
This made Blackheart George extremely anxious. How did both of his star monsters run away in an instant?
It was as if his gold coins had grown wings and flown away.
“Damn it, Reby, my babies are running away!”
Blackheart George screamed, clutching his hair, while Bald Reby laughed and said: “George, my old friend, I sympathize with you, but this is an unexpected situation. The job’s difficulty has increased, you have to pay more!”
A Dragon Beast like Otto, with such good looks, could be worth at least a thousand gold coins if sold to the nobles of Serbia.
Blackheart George, unwilling to give up, gritted his teeth and said: “Damn it, as long as you catch both Chimera and the Dragon Beast for me, I’ll give you double the reward!”
Having received a satisfactory answer, Bald Reby shouted to a ranger: “Pete, follow that Dragon Beast for me. Everyone else, stop this big flying bug.”
Pete laughed and replied: “Don’t worry boss, don’t forget to treat me to a drink afterwards!”
This young man’s family had been hunters for generations, relying on the mountains for their livelihood. Tracking beasts was their specialty.
Pete followed Otto’s escape trajectory, while the others focused their firepower on Chimera.
Although Chimera wanted to leave, Reby’s two mages were not to be underestimated, with a thick layer of frost covering its wings, it could not fly high nor fast.
If they just wanted to kill Chimera, this group of veterans could end the fight quickly.
But Blackheart George wanted it alive. If they accidentally killed it, no one would pay them a reward.
So now Reby’s strategy was to drive Chimera in the direction Otto fled, fighting and chasing it along the way.
On the other hand, Otto had returned to the arena.
Kor Town wasn’t that big, and by now it had descended into chaos, filled with bloodthirsty monsters everywhere.
Monsters had already spread to the arena, leaving behind only a few evil slaves in charge, but at this moment, not a single one of them could be seen.
Either they had already run away or they had been eaten by the monsters.
Using his enhanced sense of smell from the dire wolf, Otto easily found Sofia. He was very familiar with the scent of this half-elf little girl.
At this moment, Sofia was hiding in the corner of a stone cell, with two gnolls struggling to bite the iron gate in front of them.
The gnolls’ teeth were very sharp, and the iron gate wouldn’t hold for long. In fact, if Otto was willing, he could’ve torn down the broken iron gate long ago.
“Owooo…”
Just as Sofia was curled up in the corner, her eyes tightly closed, waiting for death to come, she heard the dying wails of the gnolls.
Sofia was confused because she also felt the ground vibrating, and it felt familiar.
As she looked up, she saw Otto’s big head. Strangely enough, she felt like the hideous head was smiling at her.
Otto, who had just come out of the swarm of monsters, was covered in blood and broken flesh, exuding a pungent smell of blood.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this was undoubtedly a scene from hell, but the half-elf little girl felt extremely relieved.
“You came back…”
Having been a listener for a year, Otto finally said his first words to Sofia: “Do you want to come with me?”Sofia opened her eyes wide with disbelief, not expecting Otto to speak, but she knew now wasn’t the time to waste asking questions, so she quickly agreed with a delighted smile.
“Alright!”
This was the first real communication between the two, brief but full of trust. Otto understood Sofia and had grown accustomed to her presence; in this strange world, he didn’t want to be alone.
As for Sofia, she considered Otto her only family. The half-elf girl didn’t mind the dirt on Otto’s body, climbed onto his broad back, and held onto his neck tightly.
There were terrifying monsters all around, and Otto was the most frightening of them all, but feeling the familiar sensation beneath her, Sofia felt incredibly at ease.
Otto knew that Blackheart George wouldn’t let him go easily. Once the distraction Chimera was captured, it would definitely be his turn next.
One-on-one, those adventurers were no match for him, but the humans had almost ruled the entire continent, and it wasn’t just because of individual strength.
Even powerful Ancient Dragons often couldn’t gain any advantage when facing a large number of well-coordinated humans.
Otto’s plan was simple: leave Kor Town, find a place with complex terrain and plenty of prey to hide.
He would develop stealthily, avoid taking risks, and only consider other matters after his six divine weapons were ready.
But what he didn’t know was that a human ranger had already set up many Elemental Traps outside the stone cell.
Elemental Traps were invisible traps set up using Elemental Crystals. Apart from the expensive main material and limited power, they had almost no drawbacks, and most rangers could make them.
Pete was surprised by the relationship between the Dragon Beast and the half-elf girl. He couldn’t understand it, but at the same time, he felt lucky.
If Otto had run straight out, he might have already escaped Kor Town by now.
But now wasn’t the time to worry about that, because he noticed Otto was about to leave with Sofia.
Pete, hidden behind a stone wall, gritted his teeth and exclaimed through the communication crystal, “Boss, I used all the elemental crystals I had on me. You’d better let George compensate me double!”
Bald Reby’s rough voice came through the communication crystal, “Don’t worry, Pete. I’ll make Blackheart George provide you with three times the amount of elemental crystals. We definitely won’t lose money on this deal!”
The greed of these adventurers was on par with that of a dragon, otherwise, they wouldn’t risk their lives exploring dangerous places.
On the other hand, Otto, carrying Sofia on his back, stepped on an Ice Trap as soon as he left the stone cell. Although it couldn’t hurt him much,
the cold air slowed down his movements and made Sofia on his back shiver.
A child’s body couldn’t withstand the power of an Elemental Trap, even with Otto acting as a cushion underneath her.
Through his Wild Beast Heart, he could sense the Elemental Traps but couldn’t determine their exact locations.
This was troublesome. Normally, he could just charge straight through. If the power of the other traps was similar to the Frost trap, it would be like scratching an itch for him.
But he couldn’t do that now because Sofia’s delicate body wouldn’t be able to handle such torment.
Just as Otto was about to retreat back into the stone cell, planning to break through the wall and escape from another location, Sofia stopped him.
Her red pupils glowed with a strange light, and the Elemental Traps in her perception appeared like dazzling bright spots.
“Big Dragon, follow my instructions. I can see where these Elemental Traps are!”
Otto was stunned. Though he didn’t know how Sofia could see the Elemental Traps, he chose to believe her immediately.
Under Sofia’s guidance, though slow, the two of them finally managed to break through the layers of Elemental Traps.
Meanwhile, Pete, hiding behind a broken wall, looked like he had seen a ghost.
