The Thousand Needles Stone Forest is perhaps the most appropriate way to call this forest of stone pillars. Densely packed, all kinds of strange shapes, thousands of postures of stone pillars rise from the ground, and then abruptly form a fungus-like "hat" at the tip.

The rock caps are covered with a thick layer of snow, and there is no doubt that the pillars will be crushed by the snow in the next second. Just like many huge and stout trees, they can't resist the cumulative power of this seemingly light snowflake. Perhaps no matter how powerful life is in this world, it will be accumulated, eroded, and then died by some irresistible force.

After passing through the dense forest, at the end of the Thousand Needles Stone Forest is a huge and towering "throne", the whole body of the throne is made of light blue transparent and sharp icicles, and the giant king who needs to look up is poised on the throne with his head pestle.

Orlan could feel Lillian's trembling, and it seemed that it must have been the Giant King Kudelt who had attacked them. Perhaps when Lillian faced the giant again, the fear and shock from her soul made her uncomfortable. After all, she's dealing with a legendary creature that exists at the dawn of the Wars.

"Please give me my weapon, I will avenge my soldiers!" However, Lilian's words were beyond Oran's expectations, and the girl had the courage to say such a thing. It seems that she was wrong just now, and she was trembling with excitement.

Orlan didn't even forget to take her greatsword with him when he saved her, because Oran had seen that the greatsword seemed to have the same power as his dagger, and it was a powerful weapon fused with wedge-shaped stones.

"No...... This is what I picked up. Orlan says he's just following the normal rules of the Jungle Hunter, and you've seen beasts give away meat in their mouths, even if it's picked up.

"You...... You greedy and despicable hunter are still in vain...... Believe in you so much! "With that, he wanted to come up and snatch the great sword from Orlan's back.

"William, they're still waiting, let's solve the problem at hand first." Orlan propped Lillian's head in his hand and pushed her away, after all, Orlan was much taller than her. Perhaps hearing that William's life and death were at stake, Lilian gave up her plans to take revenge now.

……

"King of the Giants, salute you again." Orlan lowered his head slightly, and said in an obscure giant language, after all, the other party is a legendary creature. (Sure enough, Orlan's etiquette was learned from the mountain savages)

After hearing the giant's words, the Giant King seemed to have touched the mechanism, and suddenly "lived". He shifted his massive head, as if searching for someone to speak. After a moment, he lowered his head and looked at Oran at his feet.

"Accept your respect...... Oh, I don't know how long I've been asleep. You, you're the dwarf...... I remember you. You're coming......" The Giant King's voice hummed like it came from a cavern.

"I would like to ask you, something seems to be wrong with your heirs. The dead giants rose again, but attacked the living creatures like living corpses. And, Great Giant King, you seem to be involved. ”

"Oh...... Too long, too long in this world. I saw the flickering fire in the darkness, as if it was about to be extinguished! …… The gods, about to fall; The curse is about to spread. Haha. The Giant King replied, his laughter echoing through the forest, and the snow was shaken down.

Lilian grabbed Oran's arm, "What are you talking about, how do I feel like this giant is crazy!" ”

"What is the flame, and what is the curse you are talking about?" Oran frowned, he didn't answer Lillian's question.

"Dwarves, you'll know. You see...... You have that power too! The Giant King spread out his palms and displayed the pure black crystal in front of Oran.

Oran's eyes widened because he knew what it was. This is something that condenses from a corpse by virtue of some of his own abilities after killing a human. Or rather, this is Oran's biggest secret, a secret that even the old hunters don't know.

What is the use of this kind of thing, Orlan has never figured out, maybe this is the crystallization of the human soul.

He could even feel the sound of the black crystal in his breast pocket, which belonged to Hunter Mark, was this the voice of the soul?

"I ...... This kind of thing is needed. This allows me to find myself on the brink of being lost, which is an endless and delicious fountain for the dead. Dwarf...... Do you need this kind of stuff too? But you're not dead yet......"

It seems that the answer is self-evident, the giant king, Kudelt, is already dead, just like the living corpses of the giants. It's just that maybe it's because he's too powerful, and he can maintain his mind as a wise seed by condensing and absorbing this "soul crystal".

And he attacked and killed Lilian's centaurs, probably to get this kind of thing. Well, he can do the same to Orlan now.

After all, this powerful legendary creature does not have a "moral sense" equivalent to that of humans themselves, and in their eyes, human beings, like all lower lifeforms, eating humans are as common as eating Komodo and eating trolls.

Orlan drew his great sword behind him and waited, even in the face of legendary creatures, it was not his style to sit idly by.

"We may be in danger, you get on your horse and go first."

"Sure enough, the 'negotiations' have collapsed? It just so happens that I want to avenge the soldiers! ”

"Hahaha, dwarves. I can smell the fragrance in your soul...... Your darkness is so deep that I have never seen a creature like you...... Even those dragons can't match the souls. I've seen that you're the only one who can put the flame out...... Go to Rodland, the world of the gods, and destroy the flames of the gods, haha! ”

"Sure enough, you're already crazy!"

……

"Before that, the last battle...... In the name of the frost - Kudelt accepts your challenge! The Giant King waved his hand and pulled up the thick and sharp icicles on the throne!

"Let's go!" Oran shouted to Lillian. Before she could refute, the Giant King's weapon had already scraped towards them! Wherever it passed, the boulders and dirt were plowed into a ravine, which shows how powerful the blow was.

In the blink of an eye, Orlan turned and picked up Lillian to avoid the icicle, but the resulting air currents sent them both flying off into the distance. Lillian felt nothing but a whirlwind in Oran's arms, but she was largely unharmed.

Oran, who was a meat pad, was covered in mud, and even his silver hair was covered with a layer of dust. But he didn't stop after getting up, and rushed straight towards the Giant King. The Giant King's target was only Oran, and he didn't even take Lilian into account from beginning to end.
