Chapter 136: Giant Country and Dwarf Tribe

There are four areas around the Moon Goddess Altar.

Druid's Lair, Holy Mountain of Elements, Dreamland, Mountain Giant Forest.

We have to wait until Alpha recovers his strength before we can go to the Holy Mountain of Elements. The Dreamland is dangerous and weird so we can't go there for the time being, so the only place left to visit is the Mountain Giant Forest.

Previously, due to his limited strength, Rhodes only went to the lake outside the forest. In addition, he had to build a canal, so he never explored further.

The Giant Forest is on the opposite side of the Druid's Lair, belonging to two completely different directions.

I don’t know where I will be after passing through the forest. Will it be an endless black soil plain like outside the druid’s nest?

"I'm telling you, don't scream when you meet a mountain giant, or I won't care if you're caught and used as toothpicks."

On the way, Rhodes looked serious and gave instructions to Kaba and the little thing.

"Yeah?"

The little thing turned its head, as if wondering what a toothpick was.

Kaba ignored him and ran happily on the sandy and black soil.

Originally it wanted to fly directly, but was stopped by Rod.

Flying over the mountain giant's territory is like flying a mosquito in the face, asking for a fight, isn't it?
fortunately.

After it was upgraded to the second level, its running speed was not slow either.

Moreover, because of the lantern trees beside the canal along the way, we didn't encounter many flower fairies, so it can be said that the journey was smooth.

Less than half an hour.

The lake and the giant forest came into view. They looked no different from before, and there were far fewer lantern trees than in other places.

Obviously.

Lantern Trees have very limited effect against Mountain Giants.

"Huh? Why are the piles of rocks getting smaller?"

Suddenly, Rhodes noticed that the piles of stones formed by the corpses of mountain giants at the edge of the lake seemed to be fewer than before.

Is it because he took the seeds?

Or is it for some other reason?
This change made Rhodes secretly alert.

He rode Kaba all the way to the lake, checked the water inlet, and after confirming that it was not blocked, he slowed down and walked into the forest.

"Be careful, don't get discovered by the mountain giants."

Rhodes looked around and reminded quietly.

Although he was confident that he could escape from the siege of the third-level black beast, it was better to avoid it if possible.

This is also the reason why he didn't bring the dark elf ranger with him, because the target is small and easy to escape.

Kaba and the little thing obviously knew that it was dangerous here, so they all restrained their breathing and walked into the forest carefully.

soon.

The edge of the forest gradually receded.

All that was left around were giant vines entangled with each other and growing into the sky.

From time to time there was a rumbling sound in the distance, which sounded like the footsteps of a mountain giant.

“How on earth do these plants grow so big?”

Although it was not the first time he had seen it, Rhodes was still very surprised.

Could it be that when the Moon Goddess was still alive, she used breeding magic to specially cultivate them in order to match the size of the mountain giants?

And I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

As they went deeper, the purple mist around them seemed to become thicker and thicker, and there was also a smell of decay in the air.

"Snapped!"

There was a muffled sound and explosion in the distance.

Kaba, who was moving forward, was startled and hid behind a giant vine, sticking his head out to take a closer look.

Rhodes looked through the gap and finally saw the source of the sound.

It was actually a purple fruit that was bigger than him, and it was bursting into jam on the ground.

"Fruit? Why are there fruits here?"

Confused, Rhodes and the little thing looked up subconsciously.

Just then they saw an identical purple fruit falling from the tip of the vine above their heads.

Snapped!
Another muffled sound.

The fruit exploded, and the flesh, which looked like curry mixed with brain matter, splattered everywhere.

The smell that was emitted was exactly the same as the purple mist that permeated the forest!
"So that's how it is. Fruits can grow on these plants? What's going on?"

This made Rhodes even more confused.

You know, the plants on the black soil have been corroded, so they should not be able to grow fruits.

But the giant vines here can not only grow flower monsters, but also grow fruits, which is a bit weird.

"Yeah!"

"Roar!"

Suddenly, the little thing and Kaba let out a low growl.

Rhodes' face changed, thinking that a mountain giant had appeared, but it turned out to be a series of black afterimages smaller than the little thing, flying towards this side from the depths of the forest.

It moved so fast that even the naked eye could not see its specific appearance. In a blink of an eye, it came to the fruit that had just fallen in the distance and absorbed the jam on the ground.

Until then.

Rhodes finally saw the black shadow's appearance clearly.

They were actually mini figures less than 20 centimeters tall!
This……

Mountain giant + little man?

Luna, are you sure this combination is okay?

I thought.

The creatures living here should be various giant creatures, at least elephants, mammoths or something like that.

However, he did not expect such a huge contrast in the combination, which made Rhodes even more curious about this forest.

Seeing that the little men had absorbed all the jam, they turned around and flew towards the depths of the forest.

Rhodes quickly said to Kaba, "Let's go, follow them, don't let them find you."

Those little men had obviously been corrupted and turned into black beasts, but like the mountain giants, they retained extremely high intelligence and would eat the fruits that fell from the giant vines.

This alone is enough to make him curious, maybe he can discover the secret to resisting the black soil.

Kaba did not stop after receiving the order, but followed carefully, hiding behind giant vines from time to time.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, so long that he began to wonder if he was lost, the monotonous giant vines in front of him finally changed. Mushroom houses made of stones began to appear between the giant vines.

And as we go deeper, there are more and more of them, and finally they even connect together to form communities on top of the giant rocks, which looks like a Lilliput country.

Those little figures flashed and turned into afterimages, rushing into one of the groups and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

But at the last moment, Rhodes still captured the information.

[Corrupted Tatars lv25]

Such a small guy.

It’s actually the second level?

Although he had vaguely sensed the aura of those dwarfs, Rhodes was still very surprised after seeing the information.

Fortunately, I did not expose myself rashly, otherwise, there would be at least dozens of dwarf humans hiding in that community alone.

And such communities are everywhere in the Giant Forest.

"I understand! They brought back the rocks from the lake to build their houses!"

At this moment, Rhodes suddenly realized why the piles of stones outside had become smaller.

It turns out that these dwarf people live in houses made of rocks. No wonder they live with mountain giants.

As if in response to his guess, a rumbling sound of heavy footsteps suddenly came from a distance.

A mountain giant that was thirty meters tall pushed aside the giant vines and slowly passed by the community of the little humans.

There were also many mushroom houses made of rocks on its body, and there were small black beasts living in the houses. It looked like a moving castle.

If you accidentally get into trouble with one.

Wouldn't that stir up a hornet's nest?

Rhodes thought about it and decided not to move forward rashly. He signaled Kaba to slowly retreat in the direction they came from and prepare to explore in another direction.

But at this moment.

With a whoosh, a black afterimage suddenly fell from the sky!

"Yeah!"

The little thing reacted first, pulling out its short spear and leaping up suddenly, heading straight for the afterimage.

At this time, the speed of the little thing was much faster than when it was just promoted to the second level. With an extremely fierce momentum, it turned into an afterimage and instantly appeared behind the other party.

puff!
The short spear enchanted with the penetration effect directly pierced through the body of the Tata dwarf, killing it instantly.

"Little thing, you actually figured out the assassination method?"

Rhodes was surprised when he saw this scene.

When he was in the dark elf tribe before, he asked the great elder to teach the little thing for a period of time, and he didn't expect that it really worked.

The little thing now looks like a dryad assassin, which is just enough to deal with the speed-type black beasts of the human race.

only.

“￥%@#￥…”

A series of chattering sounds were heard, and the originally silent forest suddenly became restless.

When Rhodes looked up, he saw a large number of black afterimages jumping back and forth. There were actually dwarfs hiding above the giant vines to conduct reconnaissance!

"Come on!"

Seeing figures rushing out from the distant group, Rhodes didn't dare to stay. He raised his hand and a giant shield wrapped the three of them, then ran outside amid Kaba's rampage.

Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
A black afterimage flashed by and hit the shield with a bang.

The shield, which originally had a thick layer, began to show a lot of cracks and was attacked by the black beasts of the dwarf human race.

"Damn, this really stirred up a hornet's nest."

Looking at the black beast of the dwarf human race chasing him relentlessly, Rhodes felt helpless and relieved.

Fortunately, the third-level mountain giant did not notice them, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with them.

If it were just these little second-level creatures, then he would have nothing to be afraid of.

"Okay, let's find a vacant area and get rid of them first!"

These little people can use giant vines as springboards to travel back and forth in the forest.

Therefore, the best way to deal with them is to find a large enough open space to restrict their movements.

Their luck was good and they soon found a suitable open space half a kilometer away and stopped the car with the brakes.

"Do it!"

Accompanied by a loud shout.

Rhodes took out his staff, and several magic circles instantly appeared on it.

Rumbling--

Ten level 20 Thorn Guards rushed out of the ground, accurately entangled several dwarf humans that rushed up, and slammed them to the ground.

The little thing and Kaba were not idle either. One jumped onto the giant vine to attack, and the other flapped its wings to blow the dwarfs away.

However, there were too many dwarf humans, like dumplings being cooked in a pot, endlessly, and their bodies were too small to use the lantern seeds at all.

Rhodes could only continuously replenish shields for himself and the little creatures while assisting them from the side. His magic power was soon consumed.

"In that case, let me try my new method!"

He took out a bottle of Moon Spring and drank it down suddenly to restore all his magic power.

He raised his hand, and a giant magic halo lit up, with complex patterns quickly formed.

Fortunately, after obtaining this magic yesterday, Rhodes has been practicing hard and finally can release it stably.

Less than half a minute.

The magic circle took shape, and a dazzling light burst out.

"Forbidden spell: Light of life!"

With Rhodes's loud shout, the magic power was instantly drained and transformed into surging light of life that illuminated the entire open space.

The thorn guards, who originally had thin arms and legs, suddenly grew in size and turned into movable twisted monsters with a large number of tentacles growing on their bodies.

But what shocked Rhodes the most were the giant vines all around.

It was actually affected by the light of life, and its corrupted body began to twist continuously, as if it had come alive.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Countless vines rushed out, like tentacles wriggling in the air.

The dwarf black beasts standing on it were unable to react in time, and almost all of them were instantly entangled by the tentacles, dragged into the gaps in the giant vines, and merged with them.

"Is this even okay?"

Rhodes was amazed when he saw this scene, and felt the horror of this forbidden spell for the first time.

It can even affect plants corrupted by black soil!
