Chapter 247 The Polluted Mountain Giant
It was already afternoon when Adrian Lange returned to the manor.

Although the whole process lasted less than half an hour, just recalling it made him feel dazed and a little excited.

Even the younger generations following behind him were all excited, and their aura was much stronger than when they just left.

When they walked into the manor, a group of brothers and elders came up quickly and surrounded Derian and them.

"How about it?"

"Nothing happened, right?"

"I seemed to hear a dragon roar just now."

"Did the messenger from Dragon Island ask you to come over?"

"Did you mention bloodline?"

After half a day of communication, they have learned the reason why the patriarch summoned everyone here this time, and they all hurriedly asked about it, and no longer had the impatience they had at the beginning.

After all, this is a major matter concerning their bloodline as descendants of dragons. Not to mention delaying their courses and work, they have to come back even if something big happens.

But soon.

They noticed that the eyes of those talented younger generations who were selected behind Derian suddenly widened.

"What's going on? How did you all advance?"

“They have all really advanced!”

"What on earth happened, Patriarch?"

"No, why has your blood aura become stronger?"

The last exclamation changed the expressions of everyone in the manor.

Looking at the seven or eight younger generations, they indeed had a strong aura of fire flowing through their bodies, and some even had obvious features of dragons, which were all manifestations of their extremely pure bloodline.

I just went out for a trip, how come there is such a big change?

"Ahem...be quiet for a moment."

Derian interrupted the tribesmen's commotion and stood out with a red face.

For a moment, all eyes were focused on him, or to be exact, on a small bottle filled with red liquid in his hand.

When they felt the dragon blood contained in it, their breathing suddenly became rapid.

"Clan... Clan leader, could this be..."

"That's right." Derian nodded solemnly. "This is the dragon blood that Lady Lux gave me. It can improve the blood purity of our tribe members. However, there are only five places available. Please select one young man from each branch."

Just now in the volcano, Lux had purified the blood for several descendants he brought with him, so the remaining dragon blood was naturally for these branch tribesmen who were summoned here.

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd became agitated again, all looking at the bottle of dragon's blood with fiery eyes, forgetting all the magic courses and swordsmanship training.

As descendants of dragons, they know best the value of dragon blood.

Not only can it greatly enhance their talents, it can also strengthen their bodies to a level far beyond their peers.

The reason why their Lange family has their current status is all due to the dragon bloodline inherited from their ancestors.

Unfortunately, as time went by, their dragon bloodline became increasingly thin and had long lost its former glory. They could only barely survive by relying on the foundation they had laid in the past.

"Chief, is this really given to us by Lady Lux? I heard that a big shot is coming this time?" someone couldn't help but ask.

It’s not that they haven’t asked Dragon Island for help over the years, but because of the disappearance of the ancestor dragon, the dragon clan has no time to care about anything else.

If it weren't for the contract signed by their ancestors, even the guardian dragon would not be sent to them. Now there are many people eyeing the Lange family's assets.

This bottle of dragon blood will undoubtedly help them get out of their predicament.

It also made them wonder what kind of person could make the entire Dragon Island pay so much attention to him that they even sent a giant dragon to accompany him.

"You don't need to know this."

Derian's expression became serious, and he spoke meaningfully: "All you need to know is that the person who came today is someone that even the ancestor of the dragon has to serve personally."

"The person the Great Dragon Ancestor serves? Could it be Yue..."

The man had just said half of his words when he immediately realized something, and quickly closed his mouth with his eyes wide open.

The others also reacted, their faces filled with shock.

The younger generation just looked at each other in bewilderment, totally confused as to what it meant.

soon.

The entire Lange family became lively and began to select suitable training subjects for the bottle of dragon blood.

……

the other side.

After leaving the volcanic area, Rod and Lux ​​had already flown away from the border of the Lange family's territory and were on their way to the Giant Kingdom.

"According to them, if we leave the territory and cross the next province, we will reach the border of the Giant Kingdom."

Rhodes sat cross-legged on the dragon's back, looking at the map in his hand and comparing it with the surrounding terrain.

Xiaobai poked his head out from above his head and looked curiously at the colorful logo patterns on the map.

"In this way, we should be able to get there before dark." Lux said after pondering for a moment.

She was moving very fast, and in order not to cause a riot, she avoided crowded cities and towns, and whizzed through mountains, forests and wilderness.

It was not until dusk that a vast expanse of land gradually came into view. The soil changed from loose mud to sand and gravel, and the mountains in the distance gradually became more numerous.

However, what caught Rhodes' attention the most were the plants. As they went deeper, they grew larger and larger, and some trees even grew to a height of nearly a thousand meters.

Although the vegetation is not dense, it feels like entering an ancient forest.

"Master Rhodes, hold on tight. This should be the border of the Giant Kingdom."

Lux flapped her wings and flew between the giant trees and vines.

Not only were the plants in the forest huge, but even the animals and monsters were several times larger than in other places. Rhodes even saw a butterfly as big as an eagle flying by. "Is this the Giant Kingdom?"

Coming to this magical place for the first time, Rhodes couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

He was a little curious about how these plants and organisms grew so big. Did they eat hormones?
"It is said that the berries grown by the mountain giants fall to the ground all year round, causing the soil to have an excess of nutrients. That is why the things here are much bigger than those outside."

As if she had guessed his thoughts, Lux explained aloud.

Although she had never been to the Giant Kingdom, she had heard a lot of news about this place and naturally knew something about it.

Snapped--

There was a muffled sound.

A huge purple berry fell from a familiar giant vine in the distance and exploded directly on the ground.

The familiar scene reminded Rhodes of the Giant Forest beside the altar and the polluted vines.

I didn't expect it to be available here.

And the reason why things became bigger was actually because of this.

However, what puzzled him was that as they went deeper, the originally brown fertile land gradually turned gray, and even the surrounding plants became withered.

"Is this... plane pollution?"

Rhodes's eyes narrowed.

The gray land and lack of vitality, aren’t they just the same pollution as in other planes?

Why is there one here too?

He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

You have to know that this is the base camp of the Dream Forest, the main world.

If even this is polluted, wouldn’t it be a big disaster?
Fortunately, he found time to come here, otherwise I wouldn’t have known that such a thing had happened here.

"What should we do? Should we ask someone where the mountain giants' habitats are?" Lux had been to and from the woods several times, so she naturally knew about the plane pollution, and her voice became solemn.

"That's fine." Rhodes nodded. "It's almost dark, let's find a place to stay for the night first."

Although the night had no effect on him, he should have a good rest after a whole day's journey. It would be even better if he could find out some news about the Giant Kingdom.

Just thinking about it.

Suddenly, Lux's voice of doubt came from below.

"Huh? There seems to be someone over there."

As she finished speaking, she lowered her flight altitude, changed direction, and landed on top of a giant tree beside the avenue.

From a distance, one could just see a few stopped carriages and a group of figures being besieged by monsters. They didn't look like a caravan doing business, but rather a group escaping from within.

Rhode was a little confused at first. Wasn't trade banned? Why were there still teams coming?

Available in the next second.

He sensed a familiar breath.

"It's a bit strange. I seem to sense the breath of mountain giants in those carriages." Rhodes asked doubtfully.

Mountain giants are so huge that a carriage cannot accommodate them, unless they are newly born giants.

"Want to go over and take a look?" Lux asked.

"Go ahead, it's a good opportunity to ask what's going on."

Hearing this, Lux did not hesitate, spread her wings and dived towards the battle location.

at the same time.

The battle in the distance had reached its most intense moment, with shouts and roars constantly ringing out.

"Hold on! We're almost at the border!"

"Be careful! There's another monster coming over there!"

"Damn monster, there's no end to it!"

"Retreat! They are coming!"

All around the carriage, the mercenaries and guards were facing away from the carriage, resisting the monsters' attacks. There were a large number of wounded and dead bodies lying on the ground.

However, they didn't seem to care about these monsters. Instead, they looked at the distance with anxious and panicky faces, as if something was coming.

Boom——

Dull footsteps were heard and the entire ground shook violently.

Then, the trees in the distance were pushed aside, and two huge monsters several dozen meters tall appeared. They kept approaching this side, making the faces of everyone in the carriage turn pale in an instant.

"Mountain Giant?"

Rhodes was slightly surprised while flying.

"No, they're a little abnormal!"

Lux's voice sank slightly, and she suddenly became alert.

It was not until then that Rhodes noticed that the two mountain giants had empty eyes and the rocks on their bodies had completely turned the same gray as the land.

Although there is still some breath of life left, it is completely suppressed by the death energy, like a giant walking corpse.

He roared to the sky and rushed towards the carriage team. The rumbling footsteps made people's eardrums hurt.

Rhodes was shocked.

Could it be that the mountain giants here have also been polluted? !
