Chapter 288: The Giant's Abode
A tall giant on the mountain-like furnace was wielding the forging hammer in his right hand and striking fiercely at a piece of red-hot iron on the anvil, perhaps because it was too tall, the loud voice had become very faint when it reached Qin Tao.
"Giant, giant?!......" Qin Tao said as he glared at it and looked at it in surprise.
The bearded giant didn't seem to notice the insignificant Qin Tao, and had been concentrating on his own business.
Qin Tao looked around, this mountain-like furnace had occupied all the space at the end of the iron bridge, so there was no object to compete with it for territory at all.
"Maybe the door to Tower Eighth is behind this furnace. Qin Tao secretly guessed.
At this point, the giant seemed to finish beating the iron, put down the hammer in his right hand, and lowered the beaten iron into the pool of water beside him.
It is said to be a pool, but it can be called a lake, and when the hot iron burrows into the icy water, a cloud of white mist rises from the surface of the water, and suddenly turns the huge furnace into a white world.
"Good guy, what the hell is this giant smelting......" Qin Tao exclaimed as he looked at the white mist that obscured his vision.
Taking the iron out of the water, the giant picked up the hammer and thrashed it there, I don't know if it was because of the immersion, the forging sound at this moment was much louder than before.
However, this sound made the surrounding mountains a little unbearable, and the surrounding peaks began to tremble slightly as if they had been hit by an earthquake without the hammer being beaten.
"Bell! Bell......"
Sparks splashed on the iron felt, and some small iron filings were constantly knocked out in the knock. Falling to the ground below directly punched an extremely deep hole.
Gradually, the fiery sun was halfway buried on the top of the mountain, and the giant wiped the sweat from his forehead. He glanced contentedly at the sunset in the same color as the lava, and then stepped out of the furnace.
The giant's size was huge, and every step he took brought an earthquake-like tremor to the mountain, so he was accompanied by a lot of rumbling along the way.
Qin Tao watched the giant walk down from the furnace, and he didn't mean to leave half a step, but the giant seemed to be aware of his gaze and looked over unconsciously.
The giant's grassy eyebrows furrowed slightly. The big mouth hidden under the thick beard snorted softly, and then he held the ridge to the side with his right hand and pressed his face to the ground.
Qin Tao was taken aback. He knew that the giant had noticed it by his direct gaze just now, but he did not have a trace of fear, and still stared at the giant's eyes steadily.
The giant tilted its head, a scorching breath erupting from its thick nostrils. It was like a scorching wind that suddenly blew up.
I watched it for a long time. The giant got the joke from nowhere, but he grinned and showed a mouthful of yellowed teeth, and began to laugh.
Qin Tao frowned, and after making sure that he didn't know what the giant was laughing at, he shouted loudly, "What are you laughing at!"
What Qin Tao didn't expect was that the giant could understand his own language and speak the language of the Life Continent.
"It's funny to laugh at you, little one. The giant hummed.
"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Qin Tao asked in surprise.
The giant still smiled and said, "I am also a human being in the Living Continent. Why can't I understand your words, is it possible that you think of me as a person from another world?"
Qin Tao waved his hand. "No, there is no ......"
The giant lifted his face, and then walked down completely, found a large enough clearing at the foot of the mountain beside him, and sat down cross-legged.
"You were imprisoned by the king?" asked the giant, as he sat down.
Qin Tao slowly flew up, stopped at the same height as the giant's face, and then said, "Yes." ”
"Then why are you locked up here?" asked the giant, puzzled.
Qin Tao scratched his head, his gaze moved to his feet, and he wondered whether to tell the truth to the giant.
But the giant smiled and said, "If you don't want to say it, I won't force you." ”
Hearing this, Qin Tao raised his head and looked at the giant, who smiled at him and continued: "I'm not like other guys in prison, they are all very evil. ”
"Then, then you ?......" Qin Tao looked at the giant in surprise.
"You're trying to ask me why I'm locked up here, aren't you?" said the giant, heartily.
Qin Tao nodded lightly, unconsciously moving his gaze away from the giant's eyes.
The giant looked at Qin Tao and said, "I don't look like a bad person like you, but I don't know how you provoked the king and locked you in." ”
"But I'm not like you. The giant continued, "I came in of my own free will. ”
"Voluntary?!Are you breaking into the Eighteenth Pole Prison?" Qin Tao asked in surprise.
The giant smiled and said, "How is it possible, where do I have that ability?" ”
"And what are you?"
"I am an iron-striker, and the king is as kind to me as a mountain, so I naturally want to repay him, but the place of Killing Sea Purgatory is too small, so I live here. The giant said heartily.
Qin Tao looked around and said, "This place doesn't seem to be suitable for living......
"What you see is the scenery of the smelting room, which is naturally not suitable for habitation. The giant said.
"What? Smelter, you mean, there's somewhere else here?"
"Of course, this is my residence, how can it be so simple as a smelting room. The giant said proudly.
Qin Tao hesitated for a long time, he really didn't expect that the seventh prison turned out to be the residence of a giant, and he was breaking into this guy's house.
The giant looked at Qin Tao and smiled: "I don't think you're a bad person, why don't I take you around here." ”
Hearing this, Qin Tao blinked in surprise and hurriedly asked, "How do you know that I'm not bad?"
"We giants are born with a natural ability to peek into the hearts of human beings, and from the first time I saw you, I saw the majestic righteousness in your body, so I concluded that you are not a bad person. Come, come to my shoulder!" said the giant, and stretched out his hand.
Qin Tao jumped on the giant's hand, and then came to the giant's shoulder. Standing on the shoulders of giants, his vision suddenly widened, and this guy who was taller than the mountains really had a view overlooking the world.
"Sit tight, I'm leaving!"
So saying, the giant took a broad stride toward the mist-shrouded mountain.
"Hey, little one, I don't know what your name is for a long time. "The giant's voice is very hearty.
"My name is Qin Tao. Qin Tao replied.
"Oh, my name is Dashan, but I think it's a bit smaller. ”
Qin Tao smiled and said, "Actually, it's big enough." ”
Standing on the shoulders of the mountains and crossing the mountains shrouded in thousands of mist, the space seemed to be transformed, and the world changed drastically.
The space where Daisen stays is a warm, sun-drenched beach, with gentle waves, soft sand, and a blue sky overhead, and lush tropical forests behind the sandy beach, it is simply a paradise close to nature.
Standing on the beach, Oyama stretched out his arms against the endless blue sky, breathing in the refreshing fresh air and enjoying the warm sunshine.
Qin Tao looked at everything in front of him in surprise, and muttered, "I didn't expect there to be such a place here......
Dashan sucked in the air and said to Qin Tao on his shoulder: "How about it, this place is not bad." ”
"Yes, yes, I want to stay here for a while. Qin Tao said with a smile.
"You can live here, I'm alone here, you can be my companion when you come!" Dashan said heartily.
"By the way, there's endless fruit in the woods behind there, so you won't go hungry!" added Daiyama.
Qin Tao smiled and asked, "Dashan, are there only these two places?"
Hearing this, Dashan said mysteriously: "How is it possible, this is the residence that the king himself gave me, and the king is too stingy in these two places. Let's go, I'll take you!"
"What kind of place is it?" Qin Tao asked.
"You'll know when you go, I promise you like it!" Giant Dashan looked excited, let go of his pace and immediately ran out of the blue sea beach. (To be continued......)
