Since the establishment of Cloud City, the speaker has only stepped into the "Yuncheng Ruins" twice. Every time it was when the Usang Empire was facing a major crisis, it was personally guarded by the general general.

But when he entered the place for the third time, he was not allowed to let anyone else follow him. Now, in addition to recalling his first two operation steps, his mind is full of thoughts about how to do it without leaving his hands and tails.

With the faint green light emitted by the fluorescent algae, the warriors of the Guardian once again worked together with the help of the mage to slay a mutant It. In this filthy and muddy dungeon, the devil knows how many of these spider herders who raise "eight-legged herdsmen" are hidden.

The unguardable spider silk trap cut through one of the guard's fingers and swollen like a carrot in a few moments, and two others were even worse, despite their armor, they were bitten by the mutant It monster and the giant pus spider it raised, respectively, and were killed by poison.

"It should be almost there. ”

The Speaker of the Senate thought to himself, and the last time he came here, he also encountered a large number of nesting mutant It monsters. These monsters were once small pets that once existed, and are now the main source of food for their offspring.

As the team marched, the sewage level under their feet gradually decreased—the terrain became a little higher, and the feet were not as muddy as before when stepping on the raised stone slabs.

Soon after they started again, they came to the front of a double arch bridge. There is a majestic inscription on the head of the bridge, which originally had the words "Kamimachi Imperial Palace", but at this time it has been cut out with a sharp weapon.

With the help of the light emitted by the fluorescent algae, everyone could faintly see the dark and gloomy buildings behind the double arch bridge, and from time to time the muffled roars of some monsters could be heard from there.

A mage took out a secret snake from the pet's pocket, bowed his head and whispered to the pet. After receiving the master's instructions, the arcane snake dived into the dark shadows outside the range of fluorescent algae.

The owner of the demon pet closed his eyes slightly, and if you looked closely through the gaping eyes, you could see that his eyeballs had turned into vertical pupils similar to snakes—at this time, he was sharing his senses with the secret snake and conducting reconnaissance first.

Magical pets that have been transformed by spells are not just ordinary animals, and the arcane snake not only moves much faster than ordinary snakes, but can even meander through walls. With infrared vision and a keen sense of touch, obstacles in the dark can't stop it at all.

After passing through the double arch bridge, the mystical snake saw the "torii" that formed an arcade - except that not only did the patent leather of these ancient buildings fall off and the original color cannot be seen, but most of them have collapsed and collapsed beside the road.

Suddenly, it heard heavy footsteps, and several red humanoid figures appeared in its infrared vision.

These figures are clearly not human. Because even if the thermal radiation makes the silhouette of the creature in infrared vision appear larger, the figure of the "human" is too tall.

It turned out to be a ruined giant!

As the creatures walked past the crumbling torii gate beside them, the arcane snake finally saw the shape of the figure after switching its visual perception.

They carried huge sticks on their shoulders - the pet and its owner understood where the missing pieces of the torii gate had gone, each one slightly longer than the height of two normal humans combined.

From time to time, the Waste Giants exchanged something with each other, and the peeps who hid on the side listened carefully to their conversations. Although most of their language is Giant, there are some ancient Usang languages mixed in!

"We... Gather... More... Spider-Man, roasted... And... Eat. (Let's collect more It's and roast it.) ）

"Yay... Yay, spider... Stew... It's not tasty. (Okay, the spider stew isn't tasty.) ）

Understanding the conversation of the Waste Giant shared from the pet's ears, the mage understood why he had encountered so many nest-building mutant It monsters along the way. Probably feeling the sound of the hearing become a little quieter, he slowly controlled the demon pet a little closer.

The mage suddenly felt as if he had been overturned in the skull with a stick, and the connection between the secret snake and him was instantly severed. The Waste Giant unexpectedly discovered his pet.

This is definitely the result of the mage's lack of seriousness in learning the knowledge of "monsterology" - as a type of giant (about the third lowest overall strength, slightly stronger than the two-headed giant and the mountain giant), the ruin giant has a good sense of insight.

Because of this, they are accustomed to operating in underground caverns, and it is difficult for them to be attacked by enemies. The amplitude of the secret snake is still too large, so it will be discovered and hammered.

Although the mage who had been sharing his senses just now was not injured, he still felt the same feeling as the demon pet. Enduring the concussion-like vertigo, he recounted his findings to his companions as he tried to comb through the spells he had memorized—the Waste Giants had apparently discovered them, and a battle was inevitable.

"Don't use lethal spells or cut off those guys' heads!" the Senate Speaker sternly reminded the Senate as everyone was getting ready, "just stun those guys, or you'll be in big trouble." Remember, this is an order!"

The Speaker's words were puzzling - he had no one to tell him about the monsters that stood in his way, but the mages and guards were still accustomed to obeying the will of the ruler of the Usang Empire.

Some of the warriors took out the leather pads lining the armor to wrap the blades of their weapons, while others simply unsheathed their weapons to trap them, and the mages were a little more complicated in their preparations, as they had to swap out some of their memorized spells, such as "chain lightning" for "group monster immobilization".

The Waste Giants reacted a little faster than everyone expected, and the mages who had lost their favor had only seen two giants just now, but by this time they had called for more companions.

Luckily, these monsters are tough, but they don't have a long-range attack - due to their deformed bodies, they can't throw boulders like other giants.

However, when in close combat, be wary of their "Evil Eye Curse" - when looking into their ugly apricot eyes, their natural curse ability will be triggered, and the cursed person has a chance to undergo the same distortion as their body.

So the mages cast a protective spell on everyone that resisted the malicious transformation before the Waste Giant rushed over. The Speaker's personal guards were all one-in-a-million Usang warriors, and even in the face of huge monsters, they decisively launched a counter-charge.

The Waste Giant is probably the ugliest and most vicious of the Giants, with a tumor-like head with uncoordinated facial features, and some limbs of different sizes and shapes. The breath that came out of their unsightly nose and mouth turned into a terrible howl.

If it weren't for the Speaker's previous strict order, the enemy guards really wanted to be deadly, so that they could face this creature that broke through the lower limit of human tolerance for ugliness as soon as possible. However, they were limited by orders, and they could only try to find a way to inflict heavy damage on their opponents with bladeless weapons.

But it's not easy.

The height of the top of the head of the average human is only just about the thigh of the ruined giant, and the only targets that these Usang warriors can choose to attack are their Achilles tendons, knee sockets, and crotch. At the same time, they must cheer up their spirits and always be careful not to be swept away by the giant stick.

There are currently less than thirty of the guards brought by the Speaker of the U-Sang, and there are a full ten of them in this nest of ruined giants. Even according to the nature of this kind of monster - they will come out of the nest when fighting, so you shouldn't have to worry about them still having a new force. But with an average of three people dealing with a ruined giant, the odds of victory for humans are slim.

Fortunately, they had mages to help, and while the warriors of the Usang were grappling under the crotch of the ruined giant, these spellcasters were not idle. Buff spells are constantly being unleashed on the warriors, and profit and loss spells are constantly being applied to the heads of the Waste Giants.

Originally, the best tactic to deal with this deformed giant was to kill it with powerful spells - the ruined giants are also giants, and their bodies are still much stronger than other creatures and are not afraid of ordinary physical attacks - although the warriors frequently succeed in striking weak points such as the Achilles tendon, the weapon is not sharpened, and not a single giant has fallen for a long time.

However, the mages also obeyed the will of the Speaker of the Senate, so they had to find another way. In the case that the direct use of some enchanted spells does not work, they choose to use illusion spells to drain the opponent's energy, and then slowly figure it out.

Under the influence of "illusion", the number of human warriors in the eyes of the waste giants began to change, and more and more "little bugs" appeared at their feet. After hitting the target with a big stick, the phantom shattered, but at the same time, the warrior who found the opportunity also hit the monster's heel fiercely.

Some of the Waste Giants will suddenly let out a panicked roar as they fight—this is the work of "simulacrum", because the human warriors in their eyes will now shed their disguise and become the drow elves or psions that creatures that live in the underworld are the least likely to see.

These illusion tricks did have an effect, and the affected Waste Giants even had the intention of retreating.

"Cheer up, you shit," one monster suddenly roared in surprise in the Old Usan language, "it's just a little trick, what's there to be afraid of." Here we are kings, kings of this underground city!"

The roar was heard far away in the empty underground space, and the ruin giant who let out this roar was standing at the head of the double arch bridge, smacking the head of the would-be deserter with a large stick in his hand.

Unlike the other Waste Giants, he seems to be more shapely-shaped. In addition, he was holding a wooden stick made from a random torii pillar, but a scepter in the shape of a "Houpak staff".

"Hupak staff?" In the shadows behind the U-Sang, a knowing smile appeared on the face of a man.
