Chapter 610: Secret
The forest itinerary in early spring should have been full of fun, the trees gave birth to new shoots, and the grass on the ground was full of grass, but it was a pity that now Kailot and his party had no intention of caring about the beautiful scenery under the spring light, and it was really that some uninvited guests on this trip were always troublesome.
Because of the giant's desire to kill humans, most of the ordinary giants will unconsciously approach the human city, looking for human refugees who occasionally come out to search for food and other resources, the number of giants in the mountains and forests should be considered small, but there are fewer ordinary giants, but there are more powerful guys, in the early hours of this morning, when the team was resting, the shock of the earth made everyone look up at the more than 20-meter-high giant, this is a rock giant who does not know where to go, the surging momentum on his body spreads unscrupulously, and it took a lot of effort for Kailott to suppress the tidal blood in his body, for fear that he could not resist rushing out to fight with the other partyγ
The five of them held their breath, and finally waited until the rock giant left, but as soon as he left, his brain suddenly sobered up, and the rest was completely unable to continue, and he could only work under the tree for a few hours, and only continued to go on the road when the sky was just dawn, and at this time, it was time for lunch, and Kailot saw that several people had tired looks on their faces, and the horses under him were also panting, so he raised his hand to signal the team to stop.
"At lunchtime, how about a little rest, everyone is tired, this kind of mountain trek has physical exertion for us and the horses, how much distance is left?"
Kylot made a proposal, and Antonia nodded, and she was about to say that the guardian spirit of the underground treasure should be in the best state to deal with it, and to wear herself out in such a place, and if she failed again, she and Emma would not regret eating, and it was always better to be steady.
"Your Excellency, at our current pace, if nothing else, we should be there before dusk. β
The guard held the road map in his hand, this road had been walked several times before, and he had some memories, but this time because of the means of transportation, the speed had increased compared to before.
Find a towering tree, nearly 100 meters high, a dozen people can hug the trunk around the roots of the tree bulging on the ground, the open space left between the roots is just to give everyone a place to rest, the horse is tied to the surrounding small trees as an early warning, if there is danger approaching, the beast's perception ability can react at the first time.
"Huh, in the morning, I was oppressed by the momentum of the rock giant, and my body was a little unwell, I just recovered from it, I have to say that our luck is not bad, but we just passed by the rock giant, if he finds out about our existence, it will be trouble. β
Emma didn't feel dirty, so she sat down on the ground, leaning against the roots of the trees behind her, and put the cereal porridge and beef jerky heated by her own flame on the ground beside her, and handed a copy to Antonia, and was about to help Kylot get one too, but he waved his hand and refused.
"I'm not used to drinking cereal, so I brought some burgers with me, and the appearance of elemental giants around Omtar proves that the giants' army should have completely taken over the place...... The city of Omtar two days ago is in ruins, it is hard to imagine that a few months ago it was a prosperous city, the destructive power of the giants is too strong, the dark ages of decades ago, and we still can't stop them from moving forward decades later. β
Holding the dried fish marinated with anchovies and feeding it to the current, Kylot took the initiative to stir up the topic, and if the rest time was too dull, the quality of the rest would be greatly reduced.
"Actually, there are still changes, you may not know, the ancient road and the wall of sighs that the giant tide broke through was purely an accident, according to the reports of the soldiers who came back from the front line, the attack of the giant tide has always been regular, we have a lot of weapons in defense, there may be corruption problems within each country, but there is no doubt that the investment in this area will never be reduced, no one wants their country to be trampled by giants, but at that time, a large number of elemental giants appeared outside the city, that was an unprecedented situation, there were not many radical character giants among the elemental giants, but at that time there were more than a dozen, and even high-level elemental giants appeared...... The strong men in the principality are not defending the fortress, and by the time we receive the news, the siege over there has long been over. β
This is the secret of the royal family, the Abraham family, as the Flanders royal family, must not only be a pure spirit-level powerhouse in the family, but there must be a mortar in charge, but unfortunately the distant water can't save the near fire.
"What about the Deep River? It's normal to not be able to react in the western fringes, but the Deep River is at the junction of the Midwest, and the invasion of the giant tide should be the most important thing at that time, why is it still ...... I knew that the Deep-Flowing River defense line might not last long, but it would fall too quickly. β
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kailot wanted to inquire about the Deep River, all he knew was that someone had stabbed him in the human defenses, but he didn't know the specifics.
"I don't know, not only the people, even our royal family is not psychologically prepared for the sudden collapse of the defense line of the deep river, in order to block the tide of giants, we have mobilized the country's combat effectiveness troops to the front line, the bridge on the deep river was blown up first, and then three large magic crystal cannon positions were built within a month, even if it was an elemental giant, it couldn't withstand a round of salvo, the most powerful mage troops in the principality were on standby at any time, and the whole country mobilized the refining heart and pure spirit powerhouses who were willing to protect the country to go to the battlefield, just hoping to buy enough time for the people to migrate, but in the attack of the giant tide, the three magic crystal cannon positions were dumb one after another, The position of the mage unit was successively dropped by several high-level forbidden demon scrolls, and the professional troops had no problem, but without the long-range bombing support on both sides, they could not stop it in the face of the giant tide that had no scruples about erecting a rock bridge to rush across the river. After the battle, all positions were destroyed, and no one could get close to the defense line of the Deep River, who were those bastards...... I don't know!"
Gambling on the future of the entire country, the well-arranged defensive position was not crushed head-on by the giant tide, but it was stabbed in the back by Xiao Xiao, who came out of nowhere.
Antonia said these things, the anger on her face still couldn't be hidden, she was telling the truth, not finding the murderer is the most helpless and angry, the entire position was shattered and destroyed, and who did it at that time was no longer scrutiny.
"I only hope that the tide of giants can stop here, the ancient road will be opened, if all the giants who have wandered in the old land all these years pour in, the new dark age will come again, this time there is not much land for human beings to give up......"
According to the description in some history books, before the dark ages, the territory of the human kingdom was about three times that of the present, when there were eight empires on the entire continent, but under the crazy attack of the giants, the last five empires were difficult to maintain, and they were wiped out.
Herod!!
The atmosphere was turning to a low tone, and a high-pitched neighing of nearby horses pulled everyone back to reality, and there was danger approaching!
Woo~
Tidestream climbed onto Kylot's shoulder, roaring to inform him of the presence of elemental giants nearby.
The ground trembled, the humus on the ground that had not been completely digested naturally was constantly thrown up and down, and the sound in the distance made all the breath here aggravate, Kelot patted Emma's shoulder, stretched out his fingers and rushed up, the water element traveled a series of pedals on the trunk of the tree, and Kelot climbed up with them, and quickly climbed up to a branch of the tree at a height of tens of meters.
Looking in the direction where the voice came, a dark green figure was walking towards this side, not only wrapped around a large number of vines, but also a lot of moss flowers and plants, and a large area of vegetation was crushed at every step that fell, but under the exploration of Kellot's hawkeye, although the vegetation was destroyed in the place where its footsteps passed, a large number of new shoots would immediately grow, he seemed to be the gardener of this forest, a forest giant with a height of nearly 25 meters!
"Retreat, you can't have a conflict with him here!"
Fighting with the forest giant in the forest, it is still a 25-meter forest giant, even if Kailot completely erupts, it is estimated that it will be difficult to defeat the other party, just like the ability of the tidal giant in the ocean, the forest giant is also close to the invincible existence of the same level in the vast forest, perhaps only the forest giant's nemesis magma giant can compete, and the magma giant generally lives near the volcano, and the giant tide can not see a few.
While the forest giant had not yet approached within 100 meters, the horses were still able to control themselves and not directly collapse on the ground, and the group did not care about eating lunch and left quickly.
Luckily, the Forest Giants have the best temper of all the elemental giants, as long as they don't set fire to them or act aggressively, they don't react aggressively, and they are more interested in dense forests than human flesh.
Without looking back, they ran out for hundreds of meters and turned back, and found that the forest giant had stopped next to the huge tree where they had stayed before, reaching out and stroking the trunk, not knowing what they were doing.
"Whew...... That was its goal, and I thought it had discovered us. β
Emma let out a long breath, and her highly tense nerves eased.
The appearance of the forest giant greatly shortened the lunch break, and he didn't plan to find another place to stop, so he just went straight to the road, ready to go to his destination and rest again.
When the sun was setting in the west, and the white clouds in the sky had just been dyed red by the setting sun, the group finally arrived at their destination.
Eventually, what appeared in front of Kellot was an underground cavern-like existence, with the cries of bats coming from the cracks in the slender rock walls.
