Chapter 6: Death Flowers
After about half an hour, the giants stopped praying. They slowly walked out of the city and gathered at the edge of the hill.
They were huge, but they were well organized. Thousands of giants are gathered here, like an army of trolls ready to go on battle.
On the hill, the leader of the giant let out a low roar.
The low roar seemed like a command. Thousands of giants began to disperse after receiving the order. They lined up in groups of three or five, and headed towards the depths of the forest.
"Babble~Babble~" The bear child pointed to the figure of the giant in the distance in front of him, looking very excited.
At this time, Jiang Xiaobai sat on the shoulder of the bear child and did not speak, with a depressed expression.
"Babble~" Seeing that Jiang Xiaobai was unwilling to take care of himself, the bear child looked a little dazed. His intelligence is not high, and he does not have the complex emotions of normal humans, but curiously stretched out a finger and gently poked Jiang Xiaobai's body a few times to get his attention.
The bear child looks very light, but the power hidden beneath his massive body is not to be underestimated.
At present, Jiang Xiaobai's body is like a mortal, and the bear child seems to be a few strokes, but it hits him like a thousand pounds of boulder, making him miserable. His facial muscles twitched slightly, the corners of his mouth turned upward, and he squeezed out an ugly smile in response.
Although Jiang Xiaobai is wide and fat, in the current situation, if he lets the bear child poke him a few more times, he has to be poked to death.
"Roar~" Another burst of tearing roars came deafening from the mountains and forests. Suddenly, a thunderous roar sounded in the forest, and countless giant beasts ran wildly in the forest. Their bodies are also huge, some are a few zhang in size, some are more than a dozen zhang in size, and some are even larger than the giant's body.
The giants are hunting, and the giant beasts of the forest are their main source of food.
The herds were desperately fleeing, but the giants had already formed a circle and were driving them somewhere deep in the forest.
With an angry roar, a terrifying beast more than thirty feet long suddenly rose from the forest. It has a hideous and terrifying face, with two horns on its head and a pair of huge fleshy wings on its back.
"That's... Dragon!" Jiang Xiaobai was shocked, he actually saw the legendary dragon. However, this ugly thing is just a dragon in Western legends, not the mighty dragon of Huaxia.
The giant dragon fluttered its huge flesh wings and stayed in mid-air, its whole body was covered with cyan scales, and a pair of dark blue eyes stared at the giant on the ground with a fierce light.
Suddenly, the dragon's neck shimmered with a scorching glow. A bolt of pulp fire erupted from its mouth, spewing like a rainbow through the sun towards the giants below.
The giant raised his hand to protect his eyes, letting the pulp fire envelop his body. However, the fire did not hurt the giant, only scorched the hair on his body, and burned his rocky skin.
"Bang!" the giant picked up the black iron rod in his hand and smashed it into the dragon's head. The dragon was dizzy, lost its balance, and shook in the air for a while before falling to the ground.
The dragon gasped heavily on the ground. It struggled to prop up its front paws and tried to get up and resist. But the giant didn't give it any chance at all, and just crushed its head with one foot.
"Simple, direct, and rough!" Jiang Xiaobai was dumbfounded, the giant was too fierce. If it were him, even if there was no restriction of the Fallen Forest, it would be impossible for him to shake the huge dragon with his current strength.
The giant roared into the sky, and he grabbed the dragon's tail and dragged the dragon corpse in the direction of the herd's run.
The bear child was still young, and he did not participate in the hunting operation, but just took Jiang Xiaobai to follow closely behind the giants. But at this time, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly found that among this group of thousands of giant people, there was only one giant baby, the bear child.
The giants began to slowly shrink their encirclement, but they were slowly driving the herd deeper into the forest. Such a move made Jiang Xiaobai feel extremely panicked, because all the uneasy emotions in his heart came from the deepest part of this forest.
Jiang Xiaobai was very reluctant to approach the depths of this forest, but at the moment he was very helpless. Because of the current situation, he simply cannot escape the "coercion" of the bear child.
The herd fled for their lives, and soon they were driven into an open valley. Through the dense forest, you can faintly see the shimmering silver light dancing in the valley, which is a small lake with ripples.
The valley is about a dozen kilometers wide and is flanked by cliffs on both sides. But the valley is not sealed, and the other end of the valley can be seen through the low vegetation as a vast plain.
Suddenly, the rumbling of the run came to an abrupt halt, replaced by a mournful roar. The real hunt of the giants began.
"Strange? Why should they stay in this valley when they could continue to flee for their lives?" But for some reason, they would rather be the ghosts of giants than cross the valley to the other side of the valley.
The roar of sorrow was endless. But now Jiang Xiaobai understands very well that this is a world where the weak eat the strong, and excessive compassion will only speed up his annihilation in this world.
The giants slaughtered the herd, and they simply distributed food and began to eat on the spot. Jiang Xiaobai also got a piece of food, which was given to him by the bear child. But looking at the disgusting bloody flesh, he couldn't muster his appetite at all.
Jiang Xiaobai put down the disgusting minced meat and looked up at the other end of the valley. Fear filled his heart, and he only hoped that the giant would finish eating and return to the edge of the forest.
But his hopes were shattered. The giants actually started to clear the valley after eating, and it seemed that they were not ready to leave. They picked up the bones and flesh all over the ground and walked towards the mouth of the valley at the other end.
"Mom! You're still so particular! No, this can't be your nest!" Jiang Xiaobai was stunned, and it seemed that he had to continue to accept the torture of fear.
On the other side of the valley, the wind howled, and gusts of wind and waves poured into the mouth of the valley like a ghost howling a wolf in the underworld.
The giants reached the edge of the valley, but they did not cross the valley mouth, but threw the bones and flesh in their hands towards the vast plain ahead.
With curiosity, Jiang Xiaobai also walked to the edge of the valley.
"This..."The scene in front of him made Jiang Xiaobai gasp, and he instantly felt a numbness in his scalp and a chill down his spine, both shocked and frightened.
It was a terrifying, cold sea of bones, covered with blood-colored leafless flowers. The sea of bones and phosphorus fire is secluded, ghostly, and the bright red leafless flowers grow from thousands of dry bones, revealing a cold and bewitching light.
In the middle of the sea of bones there is a huge spring, from which blood-like water is bubbling out, nourishing the endless sea of blood-colored flowers. Looking at it, the faint blood color is breathtaking, and the white bones of Sensen are terrifying, giving people the feeling of stepping into the Nine Shades Purgatory in the underworld.
There was a gloomy cloud between the heavens and the earth, and under the shroud of endless blood, the world was suddenly lightless, and a cold aura of death seemed to fill the ten heavens and the earth in an instant.
"Here... Could it be the burial place of those millions of cultivators?But what are these golden bones?" After being frightened, Jiang Xiaobai was puzzled again. Among the thousands of dry bones lay a golden skeleton, their whole body was cast in gold water, exuding a golden and round luster. They come in a variety of forms, including humanoids, beasts, birds, and so on.
Approaching the sea of bones, the uneasy emotions in Jiang Xiaobai's heart were reduced for some reason, and replaced by a different feeling. It was as if this sea of death flowers resonated with the blood in his body, giving him a feeling of embracing his hometown.
The red sun fell, and the afterglow of the setting sun stained the western sky red, giving the white clouds a dazzling golden edge. At sunset, the giants returned from the valley mouth and lay down in the valley to rest, ready for the next sun.
The bear child also carefully put Jiang Xiaobai beside him and slowly closed his eyes.
