In just a few minutes, Lin Ke had massacred these Ratn.
But the cost was significant.
All the mbers of the Fla Demon Knight Order collapsed on the spot, and so did the Magic Training Camp people.
However, Lin Ke did not fall.
He stood, approaching those Karst Mountain Giants, his eyes cold.
Just now, these Karst Mountain Giants didn’t make a move!
Their aura was above level 10, but not exceeding level 13.
But regardless of their strength, the Ratn were drawn here by them.
At first, they appeared to be united against a common threat, but when the Ratn’s attention was drawn to Lin Ke and his companions, they rely stood by.
Were they planning to watch and reap the benefits from the sidelines?
Lin Ke approached the Karst Mountain Giant with the strongest aura, crossed his arms, and looked at him coldly, "What do you intend to do?"
These stone giants stood in a row, their bodies shedding bits of the green platform, appearing about as tall as Lin Ke in his Fla Demon guise.
The atmosphere froze.
John and the others stood to the side, distinctly separate from the Faser people, watching Lin Ke and the Karst Mountain Giants with interest.
It seed as though they were prepared to remain uninvolved.
However, including the Karst Mountain Giants, no one doubted which side these foreign guests were on.
Just now, with the help of these foreign guests, they had killed several demigods!
The Karst Mountain Giants watched Lin Ke, and although they appeared stony-faced, their movents and faint expressions showed so signs of hesitation.
At this mont, a slightly smaller Karst Mountain Giant stepped forward.
"Honorable strong one, it’s not that we are unwilling to act..."
This Karst Mountain Giant was only just over three ters tall, not even reaching Lin Ke’s waist in his Fla Demon guise, and his voice was old and helpless.
"Then why?" Lin Ke squinted his eyes, "Were you waiting for us to be seriously weakened before acting?"
"No, that’s not it..." The old Karst Mountain Giant shook his head, the gray and white rock resembling his hair, "We Karst Mountain Giants have been struggling to survive here because we are cursed by the Mountain God..."
The elderly Karst Mountain Giant slowly narrated their story.
It turned out these Karst Mountain Giants originated from ancient tis, originally under the Earth Goddess’s patronage and were as close as brothers to the Mountain God.
However, at that ti, the Karst Mountain Giant lineage was too powerful.
This power wasn’t in the number of the race, but in their individual strength.
The Karst Mountain Giants were born with the Earth’s favor.
This talent even frequently amazed the Earth Goddess, who then included them in her Earth pantheon.
At their peak, the Karst Mountain Giants, numbering only a few tens of thousands, held half of the seats in the Earth pantheon.
However, those good tis didn’t last.
Before long, the Mountain God grew jealous.
He secretly brought forth mbers of the Karst Mountain Giants and led them to commit so wrong deeds.
"...That despicable executioner destroyed our image in the eyes of the Goddess and misguided the great Sky God into wrongly judging our forr Iron Mine God, and ultimately cursed us with the Mountain God’s curse..."
The elderly Karst Mountain Giant spoke with tears streaming down, as if mud was flowing from his eyes, and continued telling them, "Originally, under His curse, we were destined to forever be slaves producing iron marrow, gold essence, and mithril, eternally sinking, being unable to use magic, until those..."
"Wait!" Lin Ke suddenly widened his eyes, "Say that again?"
Not only Lin Ke, but even Rica and the others, who had been indifferent before, imdiately gathered around.
Gold essence, mithril, and iron marrow?!
This damn...
These three things, a gram costs ten thousand gold coins!
What do you an by producing?
The elderly Karst Mountain Giant was frightened by Lin Ke and the others, taking two steps back.
Several of the taller Karst Mountain Giants, however, stepped forward, appearing very sensitive.
"I... I said, we are forever sinking..." the elderly Karst Mountain Giant was puzzled.
"No, that’s not it..." Lin Ke pointed at them, "You produce gold essence, mithril, and iron marrow?!"
How are such things produced?
"Yes..." the Karst Mountain Giant nodded as if it were natural.
Lady Yongge approached, explaining to Lin Ke or rather to the Karst Mountain Giants and Rica, "Ten thousand years ago, gold essence, mithril, and iron marrow were not particularly rare... until the Karst Mountain Giant lineage perished, and these materials beca scarce."
It was so...
Everyone understood, and their gazes heated up.
They all looked eagerly at the Karst Mountain Giants, except for two people, or rather three.
"Who are you?" Rica looked at Lady Yongge, who was not far away, and lightly furrowed her brow.
Too close!
How is this Faser woman so close to my Little Lin Ke?!
Especially when looking at Lady Yongge’s curvaceous figure, and then looking down at her own flat chest, Rica’s mood instantly soured.
"Honorable Lord Naseng, I am Yongge, Buck’s right-hand ally."
Lady Yongge thought her knowledge was being appreciated, unaware of Rica’s gaze.
Sophie wasn’t looking at the Karst Mountain Giants either; she was watching Lin Ke transform into the Fla Demon guise, her cheeks slightly flushed, unsure if it was from the heat or sothing else.
As for the last person not attracted by the gold essence, mithril, and iron marrow, it was the madwoman.
The madwoman still maintained her Fla Demon Bear form, swaying left and right as she approached Lolita, curiously examining her, her two eyes appearing cute.
Lolita was carrying two large hamrs, drooling while looking at the Karst Mountain Giants over there.
Next to her, Knicks didn’t care one bit; after all, she didn’t manage the household and wasn’t concerned about the cost of daily essentials, as the family’s finances were under Lolita’s control.
Knicks, seeing the madwoman, perked up the two ears at the back of her head and curiously asked, "What’s wrong, madam? Is there sothing you need?"
The madwoman shook her head, then nodded, appearing a bit dazed.
When Lolita heard Knicks speak, she also turned around, looking strangely at the madwoman, "What’s with you staring at ?"
Since going to the battlefield, the originally cultivated and ladylike Lolita had long revealed her true nature.
"Lolita, mind your aura! Charm! Charm!" Knicks looked around, noticing several white-bearded old mages watching Lolita and swallowing hard, so quickly reminded her.
"Oh, sorry, sorry." With a "boom," Lolita dropped the two large hamrs, retracting the aura from the [Charming Beauty].
Those annoying gazes finally receded.
However, the madwoman still stared at Lolita, looking at her dazedly.
"Hmm?" Lolita was puzzled and glanced at the madwoman again.
The madwoman blushed, imdiately transford into a mole on the spot, and burrowed into the ground.
