The team ran into so trouble; they encountered a Mountain Giant.
Compared to the Scorpion Demon that had previously transford into Hong Jiuling, this giant made of stone, which had sohow arrived in the Human World, was a relatively gentle creature.
The Mountain Giant.
This was its na.
Born from jagged mountains, the Mountain Giant could cause landslides by hurling large amounts of earth and stone. It could also throw anything into the air, demonstrating the giant-like strength hidden beneath its unremarkable appearance.
Its rock-hard exterior would cause harm to attackers. Over ti, the magnet in the center of its body could attract surrounding rocks and earth, allowing its body to grow and beco a true giant.
Standing over twelve ters tall, it lay sprawled across the team’s path.
Chen Feng finally understood why the warriors had looked so incredulous earlier, a creature made of stone but having human-like features; this was beyond many people’s comprehension.
It wielded the abilities to hurl massive boulders and execute war stomps. Generally speaking, unless provoked, the Mountain Giant would not initiate an attack.
They were nature lovers.
Earth and stone were their sustenance. Possessing the ability to absorb rocks, these creatures could sleep for months, even years, and over ti, when everyone thought they were standing atop a true mountain, it could actually be the body of a Mountain Giant.
The Mountain Giant belonged to the Druids, advocates of nature and neutrality, hermits who regarded the entire wilderness as their ho, using their unique powers to protect nature and maintain the balance of the world.
In so dinsions, dense forests would often attract so Mountain Giants to slumber, and its appearance here was evidently due to the forest.
Chen Feng gave the Dark Elf a glance. This leather-clad female priest demonstrated incredible agility, and in no ti, she had climbed next to the Mountain Giant’s ear and opened her mouth, not knowing what she was saying.
Living among the elves, although fallen into darkness, the Dark Elf still spoke the Elven tongue. She was now attempting to use this special thod to awaken this creature that had been asleep for an unknown length of ti.
The Dark Elf’s awakening quickly proved effective. Originally lying on the ground, the Mountain Giant’s body shook slightly, and then its eyes slowly opened as its consciousness gradually returned.
The Mountain Giant seed not to have expected so many humans to be around it, appearing sowhat surprised. Its previously prone body slowly stood upright, causing the sky to be blocked, and everyone was suddenly enveloped in its shadow.
The Dark Elf pacified the Mountain Giant. Standing near its ear, she seed to be speaking to it, though the Mountain Giant’s mind wasn’t the quickest—put simply, it was sowhat dull.
"Master."
This was a word the Dark Elf repeated several tis.
The Mountain Giant followed the Dark Elf’s direction and focused its gaze on Chen Feng.
A subtle presence of Golden Tier energy erged, and the Mountain Giant seed to sense sothing, opening its eyes slightly. After pondering for a mont, it moved its body off the path.
Demons represented chaos and evil. To a creature like the Mountain Giant that cherished peace and nature, they seed incongruous. But the Mountain Giant did not rush to act because Chen Feng’s power was already exerting so pressure on it.
Although its tough skin could withstand a long period without breaking, offending a Golden Tier strongman was not sothing the Mountain Giant wanted. As long as there was no hostility from the other side, it wouldn’t rashly retaliate.
Chen Feng also breathed a sigh of relief.
The Mountain Giant’s defense capability was sothing that would trouble any creature. Although it could suppress its strength, if it went berserk, his own forces might suffer before he could completely kill it. A Mountain Giant over twelve ters tall wouldn’t need to hurl anything; it could just walk over the crowd and fall heavily, taking away a vast number of lives.
In the wild.
Fighting isn’t the only way to resolve issues.
Negotiation.
Like just now, it would reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.
The warriors began to resu their journey. Perhaps due to the recent encounter, they seed a bit nervous, quickening their pace as they headed toward the distance.
Chen Feng walked leisurely at the back, glancing at the other side.
If he could conquer the Mountain Giant, it would be a significant aid. During a siege, it could kill with its hurling. His entire rock body could cause massive destruction with a gentle bump when attacking a city.
However, although the Mountain Giant was a peace-loving creature, it didn’t an it could be easily subjugated, especially when he was still a Demon.
In all dinsions, Demons and Devils seed to play the villains’ role. To the Mountain Giant, they were also on opposing sides, and getting it to easily defect was even more challenging than asking an Inferior Demon to stop devouring.
Moreover, he was currently on a mission, and if delayed, T City would completely fall. At that ti, his plans could be disrupted.
Even if he wanted to subjugate it, everything would have to wait until after the situation stabilized.
A Mountain Giant.
Chen Feng looked at this massive creature, a flash of red gleaming in his eyes. In this land, he, Chen Feng, never lost anything he wanted.
Let this big guy enjoy a little more freedom.
Once T City was conquered, with plenty of ti, he had a hundred thods to make it obey him.
Continue the journey.
The Mountain Giant was just an accident, but it didn’t an this rescue path was without danger. On the fourth day of marching, the team was attacked by a group of undead ravens.
While passing through a small town, a series of hysterical screeches swirled over the town. The warriors imdiately picked their weapons and guns, aiming upwards.
"Caw, caw..."
The flock of ravens cawed, breaking through the darkness and coming swiftly with the wind.
This was a group of undead ravens, each roughly half a ter in size, completely black, with eyes as red as blood, not so much birds as undead fallen into darkness.
These undead ravens attacked the town, killing everyone around, consuming the living beings as the undisputed overlords of the area.
But this ti, they encountered a fierce counterattack.
"Fire!"
As the undead ravens charged, the humans began to retaliate. Hearing the command, they all pulled their triggers. In an instant, like white light slicing through darkness, countless undead ravens fell to the ground, fluttered a couple of tis, and then stopped moving.
The moon, as if afraid, hid shyly among the clouds, casting a faint glow. The entire town was silent, with bare trees reaching up desperately with their withered branches, unable to escape the grip of darkness, looking like vengeful spirits in Hell trying to clutch a scapegoat.
The ground was littered with countless undead ravens, and no one knew how many of these creatures had died; they only knew this long-term assassin was just completely exterminated.
Sixteen soldiers died, nearly a hundred were injured. There’s no war where no one dies. To keep the death count this low in such a crisis was already a miracle.
Fortunately, among the eight healers in the mission, six ca. The losses were not as severe as imagined with their healing energies.
There was no ti for grief.
After a brief rest, the team set out anew.
Day six.
The team had traveled over two hundred kiloters and would soon arrive in T City.
Chen Feng’s expression beca sowhat ominous.
No one knew what enemies or dangers he would encounter here!
