Chapter 248 Mother Earth
"The giant is coming, run!"
In the ancient forest, screams continued to echo.
Seeing the appearance of the mountain giant, the team that was resisting the monster's attack did not dare to stop at all, and drove the carriage rampantly along the forest road.
This road was originally a commercial road between the two countries, but after several months of neglect, it has become overgrown with weeds and scattered with a large number of dead branches.
But what's even more concerning is the team's mix. In addition to the human race, there are actually several stone men over two meters tall, who look like miniature mountain giants.
It seems that the mountain giant's true form hired a human mercenary group to escort them away.
But when they saw the pursuers behind them, the mercenary group looked at each other.
"Sorry, we won't do this task!"
With a shout, he abandoned the carriage and fled out of the forest, leaving only a few stone men and the accompanying human guards behind.
"Damn it, how could they run away like this!"
The guard captain looked gloomy and turned around to kill the attacking demon wolf with a sword.
They are not residents of the Giant Kingdom, but escorts sent by the East China Sea Empire to negotiate.
But who would have expected that as soon as they entered the capital of the Giant Kingdom, they encountered various changes, and even the envoy was unfortunately killed, and he finally escaped from it.
Thinking of the horrific scenes he had seen in the Giant Kingdom before, the guard captain felt chills in his heart. No matter what, he had to pass the news back to the empire!
"Captain! They're almost catching up!"
At this time, an anxious cry came from behind the team.
I saw the speed of the two mountain giants getting faster and faster. The roaring footsteps echoed in the forest. One of them even exploded from the sole of his feet and suddenly jumped into the sky.
Boom! !
The ground shook hard.
The group of monsters chasing them were trampled into pulp by the mountain giants that descended from the sky.
The terrifying aftermath turned into air waves, lifting the running carriage away and hitting a giant tree on the side of the road, causing a muffled groan.
"King! Are you okay!?"
The accompanying stone men exclaimed and hurriedly came to the carriage.
After a while, a small crystal figure with a golden halo all over his body was pulled out from the wreckage.
This is no one else.
It is the soul of the giant king Uldaman Titan!
It's just that his current condition is very poor. Not only have all the rocks protecting his body disappeared, but the crystal halo on his body has also become very dim, and it looks like it will go out at any time.
It was obvious that he had just experienced some drastic change.
"Let's go! You can't continue to sacrifice for me!"
Uldaman stood up from the ruins of the carriage and looked at the two mountain giants blocking their way with stern eyes.
Although only the main body is left, it still exudes a supreme majesty. This is the aura of those who have been in power for a long time.
But now.
All is gone.
The entire giant kingdom was reduced to a puppet, and even he, the king of giants, had to flee in embarrassment. How could he have the dignity to continue to survive?
"No! If you die, we really have no hope!"
The stone men immediately surrounded Uldaman and vowed to stay by his side to the death.
The guards and others also shouted loudly while resisting the attack of the mountain giant: "Take him away quickly! If you don't leave, it will be too late! We can't hold him back for too long!"
The two mountain giants were both at the sixth level, and they obviously wanted to kill them. Even though the guard captains were both at the sixth level, they could only barely resist the attack of one of them.
Other soldiers were swept away directly, and screams were heard.
And just as they were shouting, another mountain giant also chased after them, slamming down their huge fists.
It’s over…
The guards were unwilling, but they could only watch the fists falling.
Two sixth-level monsters plus a large group of monsters were simply not something they could resist.
Some simply closed their eyes as if resigned to their fate, with their wives and children in their hometown flashing through their minds, waiting for death to come.
"Rock barrier!"
Suddenly, a deep voice sounded.
The moment the mountain giant's fist fell, a huge magic circle lit up under their feet, and a large amount of rocks rose up in a rumbling vibration. Layer after layer of rocks protected them.
"boom!!"
The rock barrier instantly shattered into ten layers.
Uldaman and the others suddenly woke up, looked up at the sky, and saw a huge figure swooping down. It slapped two mountain giants away with one claw, breaking several trees before they could stop.
"Dragon!"
The guard captain exclaimed.
Why is there a giant dragon here?
Could it be that he came from Long Island?
"What are you still doing? Let's get rid of the remaining monsters first."
On the branch nearby, Rhodes stood there, holding his newly made life staff in one hand, with the earthy yellow halo still remaining on it after the spell had just been cast.
Although the time was a bit short, with only ten layers stacked, the effect of his newly learned fifth-level earth magic was still good, and it was already able to block a sixth-level frontal blow.
And it's still a huge sixth-order monster like the Mountain Giant.
Hearing his voice, everyone below was stunned for a moment, then reacted with ecstasy on their faces.
"We are saved!"
"Quick! Get rid of the monsters first, then go over and help besiege those two..."
Boom——
Before the voice could finish, the two mountain giants who had just climbed up from the ground were smashed to pieces by the grumpy Lexi's claws, and even their bodies were shot out.
"..."
"???"
The crowd was silent for a moment, and then there was a sound of inhaling.
Two sixth-level giants who had cornered them were killed instantly?
Not to mention them, even the giant king Uldaman fell into a moment of sluggishness.
Seeing Lex trying to trample the two giants to death, he quickly shouted: "Don't kill them! They can still be saved!"
"Is there any hope?"
Lex and Rhodes both looked at him.
"Yes." Oldaman nodded repeatedly, "They are just polluted souls, and they can recover as long as they are brought to clean land!"
Hearing his words, Lex glanced at Rhodes, saw Rhodes nodded, and then brought back the two giants who were seriously injured and fell to the ground.
Only then did Rhodes finally see what they looked like. Sure enough, they looked the same as the newborn stones, but the crystal body was gray.
"It seems to be really contaminated."
Rhodes landed on the ground with a wind dance and looked at the two mountain giants.
He stretched out his hand and touched them lightly, sending a breath of life to them.
All of a sudden.
The gray dissipated and turned back to its original khaki color, and then slowly woke up from the coma.
"I...where am I?"
"Shouldn't I die?"
The two mountain giants looked around blankly, as if they didn't know what was happening.
It can be seen that the pollution is not serious, it only affects their minds and does not kill them.
But even so, Uldaman and others were shocked.
"You actually dispelled the pollution in their souls. How did you do that?!"
Uldaman's voice was excited. They had thought of countless ways to save the people, but they all failed in the end.
Because the entire giant kingdom has long been corrupted by this force, and their mountain giants rely on the earth as their source of life, unless the pollution of the land can be completely purified.
"Watch the way you speak!"
Lex looked at these stone men with some dissatisfaction.
"Forget it, let them recover first."
Rhodes waved his hand, then turned and left, standing on the gray land to feel it.
What puzzled him was that the pollution here was indeed the same as in other planes, but it was mixed with a weak spiritual atmosphere.
It was this breath that polluted the mountain giants and also controlled their consciousness. No wonder they could not be contacted in the forest.
When he returned to the team again, Uldaman seemed to be talking to Lex about something, and looked at him with a somewhat reserved look.
"Lord Rhodes, I have finished asking."
Lex leaned down: "The Giant Kingdom is indeed contaminated, but it is not because of the spread of the plane, but other reasons."
"Other reasons? What is that?"
Rhodes was a little surprised.
"Mother Earth!"
Before Lex could speak, Uldaman spoke first: "It was the Mother of the Earth who polluted this land. She was the previous God of the Earth. She fell from the throne due to the disappearance of the earth element. For some reason, she suddenly woke up recently and took control of the earth. Kill our giant family!"
His voice was low, with a hint of self-blame, as if he had seen the scene of clan members fighting each other again.
Rhodes was shocked when he heard this.
He did not expect that the culprit turned out to be the previous God of Earth, the legendary earth god.
Could it be that that guy wanted to kill the mountain giant because he resented the Moon God?
"You are the king of the giant clan? Are you not even a match for Mother Earth who lost her divine position?"
I heard from Ogula that the Giant King's strength is very close to the eighth level. Coupled with the terrifying defense and recovery power of the mountain giant, even if he encounters the eighth level, he will be able to fight.
But with things like this now, is Mother Earth also polluted?
How else could this power be used?
"I……"
Uldaman looked depressed. He was so depressed now that he could not look like a king.
After a long silence, he finally made a sound and half-knelt in front of Rhodes: "Please save the Shanling clan!"
This scene shocked the Imperial Guardsmen who had just returned from clearing away the monsters, with a look of shock on their faces.
You know, this is the Giant King!
Even if he is in despair now, his dignity as a king cannot be trampled on, but now he is kneeling in front of this tree spirit, making them unable to react for a moment, with their mouths wide open.
But what shocked them even more was what happened next.
"Get up first."
Rhodes stretched out his palm and placed it on Oldaman's shoulder.
A surge of earth energy poured into his body, making his originally dull body become crystal clear.
Crash--
Countless gravels gathered on him, protecting his body, and in an instant he turned into a middle-aged man with rock skin.
"First tell me about Mother Earth."
The other party was a former god. As a gardener, he could save people, but in a head-on fight, he might not even be able to fill the space between his teeth.
It seems that we need to find a few more helpers. Not everyone can bully the members of the Moon God!
