As the night faded, the sun seemed to be frightened by the fierce battle below, and had been hiding in the thick clouds since it had risen in the east.

The morning light brightens the sky, and the canopy over the sea is used as a canvas for fighter planes and flying monsters, and after a continuous night of work, an abstract painting has appeared on the canvas.

The track left by the fighter plane when it cut through the sky is the white lines that can be seen everywhere on the canvas, and these lines are entangled with each other and become large and small threads, which are connected by the rest of the thick or thin lines to form a meaningless picture, just like the "precious ink" left behind by some sensational "masters of Chinese culture" who squander their brushes indiscriminately.

Below, the originally prosperous city was full of holes, and all kinds of aircraft, artillery and missiles ploughed back and forth in this area of every inch of land more than a dozen times, symbolizing prosperity and wealth, most of the high-rise buildings could not withstand such ravages and collapsed one after another. If you look at it from a distance of 10,000 meters, yesterday's Shanghai looks like a barbed hula wood, but today, this hula wood has been polished and smooth, and the "barbs" that rise from the ground are gone, leaving only dense pits and pits.

The choking smell of gunpowder smoke and the rich smell of blood drifted along the strong winds outside the defensive line, and the smoke and dust that filled the ruins rose and fell, falling and rising, and in some of the areas that had just been bombed, the charred black spread outward, and the color gradually faded, like smoke rising from chimneys, while in other areas, there were also pitch-black plumes of smoke that rose straight up like wolf smoke, and looked up along these plumes of smoke, they seemed to connect the sky with the earth, as if they had become a thoroughfare.

Each such black pillar of smoke represents the death of a powerful monster, and only a precision-guided high-power missile can create such a spectacle, and the high-cost missile, the target is naturally a high-level monster that cannot be killed by conventional weapons.

The silence didn't last long, and the ruins of corpses were littered with monsters of unprecedented power.

Under the attention of the world, in the city of Shanghai, in a crack as high as 200 meters and as wide as 120 meters - both of which broke the historical record, if nothing else, this record will be held for some time - stretched out a giant hand with five fingers.

This giant hand is not much different from a normal human in terms of physical structure, all of them are five fingers, four long and one short, corresponding to the thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger respectively, of which the thumb has only two knuckles, and the other four fingers have distal, middle and advanced joints, which looks like a human hand that has been magnified countless times.

But there are still significant differences between this giant hand and the human hand, not only in terms of volume, but also in skin color, this giant hand is silvery-white, spotless, and the fingerprints and palm prints are no longer ordinary lines, but by a mysterious symbol and text connected into a circle of circular or arc-shaped lines, all over the palm and fingertips.

Thirty kilometers south of the crack, in an underground base, Yang Xiaoqian pointed to the image on the screen, amazed.

"Is that the 'Silver Giant'? It's a fitting name. Yang Xiaoqian turned his head and asked Mohuan, "Are other body structures similar to humans?" ”

Although all known information about the Silver Giant had been reported, Mohuan patiently explained to Yang Xiaoqian: "Yes, the other body structures are similar to humans, but the Silver Giant does not have a mouth and nose, and only has a single eye on its head that can be recessed. ”

"Oh?"

"Many families believe that the earliest ancient talismans appeared tens of thousands of years ago, but at that time, people did not even have a common language to communicate with each other, and only used some relatively simple syllables and body movements to express meaning, so the Mohists have a different view on this. Our Mohist scholars believe that the Tianhuan tribe is not only the origin of the rune civilization, but also the first human beings to use rune runes. ”

"According to historical records, the Celestial Ring tribe encountered the corpse of a silver giant during a migration. The remnants of the corpse of the silver giant were enough to deter the rest of the demons, so the Tianhuan tribe set up camp next to the corpse of the silver giant, and soon after, the people of the Tianhuan tribe found that the fingerprints, palm prints and bone patterns of the silver giant were composed of runes, so they began to study the runes, and thus, the Tianhuan tribe became the first tribe to master the knowledge of runes, and it was also the most powerful tribe in history. ”

After Mo Huan finished speaking, he sighed: "Every child of the family will learn this history in the clan academy, but how many people can see the real silver giant?" I didn't expect to see a silver giant with my own eyes. ”

"Oh?" After listening to the description of the ink ring, Yang Xiaoqian raised his eyebrows slightly, "The number of silver giants is scarce? ”

"Maybe less, or more, at least I have never seen it, and no one has seen it in the thousand-year history of the Mo family. Legend has it that the spatial rift is opened by the silver giant, and every time it goes to a world, the silver giant will collect a large amount of silver, and then open the crack, leading to the next world with the magic tide, and will not stay in one world for a long time. ”

"Where did the legend come from?"

"I don't know, maybe someone has seen it with their own eyes, maybe it's just a groundless conjecture."

"Hmm." Yang Xiaoqian's heart was full of questions, and since it was wartime, he first asked the Silver Giant what his weaknesses were.

However, the ink ring can't answer this question, for the humans of Earth Four, the Silver Giant is a legend that exists in the history books, the origin of rune technology, the bearer of the rune avenue, and the existence of a god.

In fact, many tribes and even families have deified the image of the Silver Giant, forming a religious worship, for the humans of Earth Four, the Silver Giant is not only a powerful creature that cannot be killed, but also a god that cannot be offended. Therefore, even the well-read Ink Ring has never seen any information that records the weakness of the Silver Giant or the way it was killed.

"So, what kind of existence was the corpse of the silver giant that the Tianhuan tribe encountered was killed?" Yang Xiaoqian knew that the ink ring could not give an answer to this question, so he immediately asked the next question, "I heard you say just now that the silver giant has fingerprints, palm prints, and bone patterns. I have seen all the fingerprint palm prints, what is the bone pattern? ”

In Yang Xiaoqian's mind, a tribe that doesn't know how to farm and can only use simple tools is not much different from primitive people, even if he tries to imitate the runes on the silver giant after seeing them, he shouldn't quickly find the trick and know that if he wants to engrave the runes on silver, even if he guesses, he can't refine high-purity silver.

Recall the name of the Silver Giant and the giant hand that appeared in the city, and one can deduce that the Silver Giant is made of silver. Only in this way will the Tianhuan tribe who encounter the corpse of the silver giant know that the runes must be engraved on the silver in order to exert the greatest effect, and it is likely that the Tianhuan tribe took local materials and made the first batch of rune utensils from the corpse of the silver giant.

But if it is a non-carbon-based life form made of silver, how can it have flesh and bones?

"It is said that when the Silver Giant dies, the runes that keep it alive will fail, and then the silver layer on the surface of the Silver Giant's body will fall off, revealing the skeleton used to support the body, which is also engraved with runes." Mo Huan's tone was a little erratic, not sure, "But this is just a statement that has been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years, and it may not be accurate." ”

Yang Xiaoqian nodded, thinking that this explanation was acceptable, with the size and weight of the silver giant, if it was really similar to the body structure of a human, then it should be difficult to even keep standing, so it is very likely that the so-called silver giant is nothing more than a rune mechanical body composed of silver and other metals, the outside of the body is formed by silver, and the hollow body is supported by a skeletal system engraved with runes.

Glancing up and down the Silver Giant's arm with great interest—a complete arm had reached out of the crack at this point—Yang Xiaoqian asked one last question, "Can you remember anything else about the Silver Giant?" ”

Mohuan shook his head after thinking about it again and said, "No, but I want to give you, or rather, a suggestion for you." ”

"Huh?"

"Since your country is so powerful, ten million times stronger than the Ming Dynasty, then immediately give an order to collect the silver of the world." Mohuan looked serious and said solemnly, "Unlike those bloodthirsty demons by nature, the Silver Giant does not like to kill, and will only collect silver from all walks of life, after the disintegration of the Tianhuan Clan, the Silver Giant has also appeared in the Rune Continent a few times, but has never taken the initiative to harm other living beings. ”

Yang Xiaoqian hooked the corners of his mouth, smiled at Mo Huan's suggestion, and smiled disapprovingly.

Mohuan looked at Yang Xiaoqian's expression in his eyes and suddenly felt anxious, but as an uninvited guest, he couldn't say much under the fence, so he could only grit his teeth and watch the changes.

At this moment, the entire upper body of the silver giant had poked out of the crack, two arms, a body as smooth as a flat plate, and a round head with a single eye on the head, which was not flesh and blood when looked closely, but was carved into an oval eye pattern by thousands of runes.

To date, most of the otherworldly creatures that have appeared in this world are flesh and blood, and even the most exotic ones are sometimes carbon-based mixed-based creatures, and the Silver Giant is the first non-carbon-based life form to appear.

With such a special identity and incomparably strong strength, the Silver Giant naturally attracted the attention of the whole world, and the reconnaissance satellites of various countries invariably chose it as a target. Although the other hemisphere has changed from day to night, the people in the urban area of Shanghai can be observed through reconnaissance satellites without sleep, one by one in their offices or small rooms, holding coffee or energy drinks, staring intently at the camera.

After a while, the silver giant finally broke out of the crack and stood on top of the cannon-battered ruins.

Its round head spun left and right a few times, the Rune Eye lit up, and then it bent its knees slightly, reaching for the "Giant Corpse" at its feet, the remains of the staircase that had collapsed to the ground.

The Silver Giant rarely seemed to see anything taller than itself, and it moved cautiously, with some doubt, and a little caution, and when its fingertips touched the building to make sure it was just a dead thing, it pressed its palm against the wall. When the silver giant exerted his strength, the fingerprints between his fingers, the palm prints on his palms, and the dense runes arranged in rings on his arms all lit up, and after the reflection and reflection of the silver, they became more eye-catching.

And the palm pressed against the wall, like a 10,000-ton hydraulic press squeezing an aluminum can, easily crushed the staircase made of reinforced concrete into powder.

Yang Xiaoqian's chin was slightly raised, and what the heart Dao ink ring said was true, just this shocking power was not an existence that a mere dragon could contend with, if the dragon dared to fight hand-to-hand, I am afraid that the silver giant could tear their wings like tearing chicken wings, and slap them like flies.

Not to mention, the Silver Giant must have other means, and the runes carved all over its body alone were enough to make people tremble.

"It is estimated that conventional weapons will not be able to cause effective damage to it, but I don't know if the General Command will first use a round of conventional weapons as a test, or will it directly use a large-scale killing weapon?" Yang Xiaoqian talked to Zhou Tianming and others who were in a group call state through a Bluetooth headset, and it was said that he should first use conventional weapons to test it, try to find out the weaknesses of the silver giant, and analyze its characteristics and abilities according to the response of the silver giant, and then formulate a targeted combat plan. But according to the description of the ink ring, the silver giant is far more powerful than other monsters, perhaps, instead of trying to make it vigilant first, it is better to go directly to the final plan, surprise it, and attack it unprepared.

As soon as the voice fell, the results appeared on the screen over there, three short-range missiles dragged a long tail flame, and flew straight towards the silver giant, at this time there were no high-rise buildings around, and the silver giant was still squatting in place and motionless, so the three missiles successfully hit the target.

The flames of the three explosions lit up almost at the same time, but the silver giant was unharmed, and at the moment when the missile was about to make contact with it, a translucent film-like protective shield appeared outside its body, intercepting all the shrapnel and shock waves generated by the explosion.

Seeing this scene, the ink ring, who was originally like sitting on pins and needles, finally couldn't bear it, he stood up suddenly, and shouted loudly: "I know that you are very strong, I have already seen the video of you capturing two giant dragons alive, but you have to understand that a mere dragon can be captured alive with the power of a top family, but the silver giant, even if he gathers the power of the world's families, does not dare to be an enemy of it...... The Silver Giant is far more powerful than you can imagine! Instead of provoking it and paying a heavy price, it is better to pay a large amount of silver, and when the silver giant is satisfied, he may open the rift and go to the next world! ”

Yang Xiaoqian glanced at the ink ring and gently waved his hand to signal him not to be impatient.

"Well, don't get excited. Silver, it's not worth much, how much you want, but I'm in China, the state of etiquette, and there are guests from afar, of course, I have to receive them well, how can I send some worthless things like a beggar, and I'm in a hurry to drive people away? Yang Xiaoqian smiled and pressed the ink ring back to his seat, picked up a few porcelain plates containing meals and handed them to him, "You eat well, drink well, watch well, and soon you will find out, you can rest assured, everything is fine." ”
