Chapter 279: Vicissitudes of Life
After passing through the spatial rift with ease, the familiar sense of dislocation has changed the world.
Richard stepped onto the humus and leaf-covered land and looked around. There was silence among the trees, only a few forest deer were looking curiously with glutinous black eyes, and there was no half of a figure in sight.
"Oh, people. The lord scratched his head.
According to his previous agreement with Chief Setos, in order to facilitate communication between the two sides, he would set up a sentry post near the passage on the other side and send people to garrison it for a long time.
The Iron Giant obviously still attaches great importance to the visitors from the other world, and last time he was even in charge of Chief Setos himself, but this time he couldn't even see a tiger spirit, and the contrast was a little strong.
"It's so comfortable. The second general looked up at the canopy of the arbor, greedily opening his nostrils to breathe in the air.
It was the first time they had come to the New World, and as elemental users, they could of course feel the richer and richer elements in the air, and they were deeply intoxicated by them.
"Could it be that they have moved? "Abu's imagination has always been rich.
"Little man, don't guess. Ha pouted, bent down and patted him lightly on the top of his head.
As we all know, a man can't touch the top of his head. As we all know, although Abu is small, it does not prevent him from being a bloody man.
"Hutt, put it down. Richard snapped his fingers.
The centaur fired his bow with an arrow, and a moment later a sharp whistle rang out in the air and spread in all directions.
After a while, another whistle sounded deeper and farther into the forest, echoing it.
"You see, there was no move. Ha Chong said with a shrug as he was baring his teeth and claws, and the latter was jumping up and hitting him in the knee frantically.
However, for a thick-skinned troll, this attack isn't even tickling.
"Looks like Chief Setos is here. Hurt looked at the shaking canopy of trees in the distance, and the large number of birds that were startled, which was definitely not a movement that the tiger spirit could produce.
"Everyone, don't stand. Richard triumphantly took out the bench from the space ring and sat down peacefully, which was really very convenient.
The group sat on the bench and drank the ale and blew the water for more than an hour before finally waiting for the Iron Giant to separate the canopy of the tree and appear in front of them.
Chief Setos looked very tired, his two huge eyeballs were covered in bloodshot bald scoops, and his lips were dry.
It vividly interprets what it means to be disgraced.
"Richard, long time no see. He squeezed out a very reluctant smile, and it was clear that he could not relax at all, and sat cross-legged on the ground and yawned several times in a row, apparently extremely sleepy.
"Chief, what's wrong with you?" the lord hurriedly bought a barrel of wine from the system shop to quench his thirst.
In his memory, the Iron King, as the master of the Twilight Forest, had never been so embarrassed.
"I wanted to send someone to find you, but Qiqiu is not there, and there is no way to pass through the passage on the other side. Chief Setos sighed, "Well, let's talk about you first, is there anything wrong with this time?"
"Well, I'll cut a long story short. Richard saw that the situation was not right, and he didn't bother much, and pointed to the second general behind him, who was playing with mud, and asked, "Chief, do you think they look familiar? Do they look like silver giants?"
"The top giants are all about the same height, they are not half as tall as me, how is it possible. Chief Setos took a sip of ale and glanced at Richard's whims.
This glance is eternal.
It is like a pair of long-lost blood brothers, looking for each other without a clue, but inadvertently reunited quietly on the war-torn streets.
The ale barrel fell silently from his hand, falling to the ground, splitting into eight petals, and the golden liquor flowed everywhere and seeped into the dirt. Chief Setos was unresponsive to this.
"Chief, chief?" the lord shouted tentatively.
Setos's lips trembled violently, and his voice became as loud as a bronze bell due to excessive excitement: "This ...... This!"
The second general was concentrating on playing with mud, and was suddenly taken aback. They looked up at the Iron Giant, and felt the urge to turn around and run away.
The troll is considered a big man in the Alpine Fort and even in the entire wilderness, but compared to the real giant in front of him, it is like a Doberman Pinscher facing an adult male lion, not in the same weight class at all.
"Chief, is it?"
Setos' chest heaved violently like a bellows. For an elderly person with tens of thousands of years of rich experience, this is undoubtedly a manifestation of extreme inner turmoil.
"It's a silver giant, but how ......"
"Sure enough. Richard sighed slightly.
After the second general Hum Ha took San Jose's dragon hunting medicine and was still unharmed, he was already a little suspicious.
The trolls are often considered to be a stupid and cowardly race of low intelligence, and in the eyes of the world, they are less powerful than goblins. But I have it
Outstanding elemental talent and excellent toxin resistance, no matter how you look at it, it is also an extraordinary appearance, and the situation is completely incommensurate with the situation.
Asking Chief Setos for confirmation now is just a conjecture. I have been mentally prepared for a long time, but I can't talk about being surprised.
It's just that there is an indescribable emotion brewing in my heart: "Alas, the power of time." โ
Survival, for all races, is an extremely heavy topic.
The continuous decline of the elemental tide is a fatal but powerless environmental change for the upper giants. Just as the water in a pond is drying up, there are only two paths left in front of the fish - either adapt to the new environment or die.
Richard could almost imagine what kind of predicament the silver giants who remained in the other world back then were facing.
The decay of the elemental tides is unwavering, and will not slow down for half a minute because of their fear. The elements that are getting sluggish are gradually unable to support even the minimum physical consumption.
Taking a step back is an abyss, and in order to survive, they have to start compromising. And soโthe god-tall body gradually shrank, and the once clever mind became more and more clumsy.
Take drastic measures, cut down all the functions that can be reduced, abandon all the perseverance that can be discarded, and give up all the glory that can be abandoned!
Try your best to adapt to the harsh environment, even if it is extremely humble, just to survive!
The decline of the elemental tides, like a ceiling getting lower and lower, bent their backbones and wore away their pride.
As a result, the high-ranking giants of the Titan Age became trolls that roamed the wilderness and were widely known for their recipes.
If the silver giants of the past could still travel through time, in their eyes, the trolls must be deformed to the point that they can no longer be deformed, imbecile to the point that they cannot be lower, so lowly that they can no longer be despicable, and they are not even qualified to be called giants at all!
However, they managed to survive the most difficult years.
