At this moment, there were more than a dozen villagers surrounding the empty space.

Snow was falling, and the air was freezing.

The cold wind constantly stung the villagers’ faces.

Once Molmo had finished speaking, everyone slowly walked forward.

Then, they came across a giant footprint.

The footprint was nearly a meter wide. Even though there was a thick layer of snow covering it, it was still an attention-grabbing sight.

Moreover, the aura left behind by the footprint caused them to feel extremely shocked.

Everyone inhaled a breath of cold air.

‘Just where on earth did this thing come from?’

“What creature does this footprint belong to? How can it be this huge?!!”

One of the villagers exclaimed.

“Could it be from the Snow Wolves?”

Someone made a guess.

Molmo glanced at the villager who made this guess with disdain and explained slowly.

“Even if the Snow Wolf is an anomaly, it would only be 2 meters tall at most.”

“This is just a footprint, and it’s already 1 meter long. How could it be from a Snow Wolf?”

Everyone nodded after hearing Molmo’s explanation.

Such a huge footprint was definitely not left by a Snow Wolf.

‘In that case, what could it be?’

The footprints contained claw-like marks. It was definitely not from a creature like an elephant or a hooved creature like boars.

Those with claws were either birds, reptiles, or tigers.

At this moment, Osse, who had been silent the whole time, touched his beard and slowly walked forward.

“What do you plan on doing, Mr. Osse?”

“Don’t talk, you’ll disturb Mr. Osse’s thought process.”

Osse squatted down.

He touched the snow on the ground with his finger and placed it before his nose.

“It’s not a Frost Mountain Sabretooth, nor is it a Butterfly Lizard…”

Following this, Osse then placed the snow into his mouth and chewed on it slightly.

He was silent.

The villagers surrounded Osse and looked at him nervously. They dared not breathe loudly, for fear of disturbing Osse’s thoughts.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and shock flashed in his eyes.

“Do you know what it is, Mr. Osse?”

The old village chief hurriedly inquired upon noticing Osse’s reaction.

Osse looked around at the villagers and spoke in an indifferent manner.

“It is a dragon. Moreover, it is not a sub-dragon. It is a pure-born dragon.”

Osse’s words resonated like thunder within everyone’s mind.

The old village chief gulped down a mouthful of saliva. His eyes were filled with disbelief.

He opened his mouth with great difficulty and spoke slowly.

“Mr. Osse, you mean to say that the owner of this footprint is not a snow monster… But a genuine dragon!?”

…

Osse nodded. He did not attempt to correct the old village chief’s words.

The village chief voiced out the puzzlement in the villagers’ hearts. They could not believe that a dragon had appeared around their village!

One had to know that their ancestors had lived in the Moldos Mountain Range for hundreds of years.

Despite that, they had not once heard of dragons roaming about their region!

A terrifying calamity that razed everything appeared within the villagers’ minds.

Everyone felt as though they were being suffocated by the image of the dragon in their minds.

Molmo’s eyes were also filled with disbelief.

After all, dragons stood at the top of the food chain throughout the entire continent!

Even a newborn dragon could easily kill countless adults.

Once dragons matured, they would become even more terrifying.

They could wantonly enter human cities and snatch everything they wanted, be it treasures, food, or even humans.

As long as there was something they wanted, no one would be able to stop them!

It was said that a few months ago, the old king had specially formed a army of 100 thousand soldiers to fight against the Ancient Dragon Agatha that resided in the desert north of Longsong Alley.

Not only did he send three powerful Platinum Rank humans to lead the charge, but he had also brought countless Dragon-vanquishing Ballistae.

Even so, the 100 thousand strong army was completely wiped out by the dragon.

There were even rumors that the ancient Dragon Agatha did not appear. Just Agatha’s two children alone had wiped out an entire 100,000-strong army.

Although no one believed this rumor, the sudden appearance of the dragon had reminded them of the rumor once more.

Dragons were existences that humans could not defeat!

Even if humans sacrificed countless amounts of blood, it would only serve to irritate the dragons. In the end, they could not deal lasting damage on them.

‘Moreover, dragons generally liked treasures.’

‘There were no treasures in the Moldos Mountain Range!’

‘There number of people living within the region were few and far between. How could there be any treasures?’

‘No, what if there were gold and silver mines in the mountain range? This would explain everything!’

Upon this thought, Molmo instantly became excited.

‘What if my guess is true?’

He quickly said to Osse, “Mr. Osse, it is rumored that dragons are extremely fond of treasures!”

“You said that these footprints belong to a dragon. In that case, does it mean that there are gold mines within our vicinity?”

Osse nodded slightly.

“What you said is very possible. The dragon would not appear for no reason. There must be a reason for this.”

“However. this is just a minor issue. More importantly, the appearance of a dragon would undoubtedly bring about death.”

“Hurry up and prepare the village’s defenses.”

“Be careful of the sudden appearance of the dragon. It will have an irreversible impact on the village.”

The old village chief nodded.

He immediately looked at the other elderly villagers behind him.

They were the elders in Bohr village. Most of the matters in Bohr village were decided by them.

“Let’s go back and quickly store food and other necessities. Unless there’s an urgent matter, do not let anyone head out.”

“Should the dragon appear, have the elderly and children escape into the cellar immediately.”

“I almost forgot, Molmo.”

The old village chief turned his head and said to Molmo.

“Inform the lord about the appearance of the dragon in Bohr village and request them to send over some guards.”

Molmo looked at the old village chief. Although his father had insulted him earlier, he was not so petty that he would lose sight of the important matters to be done.

Molmo nodded and ran toward the village chief’s house without looking back.

After all, his sleigh was still parked there..
