Chapter 248 Mother Earth
"The giant is coming, run!"

In the ancient forest, screams continued to echo.

Seeing the mountain giant appear, the team that was resisting the monster's attack did not dare to stop and drove the carriage recklessly on the forest road.

This road was originally a trade route between the two countries, but after being abandoned for several months, it has become overgrown with weeds and scattered with a large number of dead branches.

But what is more worrying is the team's combination. In addition to the human race, there are also several stone men more than two meters tall, who look like miniature mountain giants.

It seems that the real body of the mountain giant hired a human mercenary group to escort them away.

However, when they saw the pursuers behind them, the mercenaries looked at each other.

"Sorry, we won't do this mission anymore!"

With a loud shout, he actually abandoned the carriage and fled out of the forest, leaving behind only a few stone men and the human guards.

"Damn it, how could they just run away like that!"

The captain of the guard had a gloomy expression on his face. He turned around and killed the wolf that pounced on him with a sword.

They were not residents of the Giant Kingdom, but guards sent by the East Sea Empire for negotiations.

But who would have thought that as soon as they entered the capital of the Giant Kingdom, they encountered all kinds of accidents, and even the messenger was unfortunately killed. They finally escaped from it with great difficulty.

Thinking of the horrific scenes he had seen in the Giant Country before, the captain of the guard felt a chill in his heart. No matter what, he had to pass this news back to the empire!

"Captain! They're catching up!"

At this moment, an anxious shout came from the back of the team.

The two mountain giants were seen speeding up, their rumbling footsteps echoing in the woods, one of them even had his feet explode and suddenly leaped high into the sky.

Boom! !
The earth shook violently.

The group of monsters chasing after them were trampled into pulp by the mountain giant that descended from the sky.

The horrifying aftermath turned into an air wave, which blew the galloping carriage away and crashed into a giant tree on the side of the road, causing a muffled groan to be heard.

"King! Are you okay?!"

The stone men who were accompanying him cried out in surprise and hurried to the front of the carriage.

After a while, a crystal figure emitting golden halo was pulled out from the wreckage.

This is not someone else.

It is the soul of the giant king Uldaman Titan!
However, his current condition is very bad. 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.

Obviously, he had just experienced some drastic changes.

"You guys should go! You can't keep sacrificing for me!"

Uldaman stood up from the ruins of the carriage and looked sternly at the two mountain giants who blocked their way.

Although only the original body was left, it still exuded an aura of supreme majesty, which was the aura that only those who had been in a superior position for a long time could have.

But now.

All is gone.

The entire Giant Kingdom was reduced to a puppet. Even he, the Giant King, had to flee in embarrassment. How could he have the face to continue living!

"No! If you die, we will really have no hope!"

The stone men immediately surrounded Uldaman and vowed to stay by his side until the end.

The guards and others were also fending off the mountain giant's attack while shouting, "Take him away quickly! It will be too late if we don't leave now! We can't hold him off for too long!"

The two mountain giants were both level six, and they obviously wanted to kill them. Even though the captain of the guard was also level six, he could only barely resist the attack of one of them.

Other soldiers were swept away and screams were heard.

Just as they were shouting, another mountain giant followed closely and smashed down with his huge fist.

it's over...

The guards were unwilling, but they could only watch the fists fall.

Two level six monsters plus a large group of monsters were totally beyond their ability to resist.

Some simply closed their eyes resigned to their fate, with images of their wives and children back home flashing through their minds, waiting for death to come.

"Rock rampart!"

Suddenly, a deep voice sounded.

The moment the mountain giant's fist fell, a huge magic halo lit up under their feet. Large pieces of rock rose up with a rumbling vibration, and layer after layer of rock protected them.

"boom!!"

Ten layers of the rock barrier shattered in an instant.

Uldaman and the others were suddenly awakened, and looking up at the sky, they saw a huge figure swooping down, slapping two mountain giants away with one claw, and crashing into several trees before it finally stopped.

"Dragon!"

The captain of the guard exclaimed.

How could a dragon appear here?

Could it be coming from Dragon Island?
"What are you still standing there for? Get rid of the remaining monsters first."

On the branch next to him, Rhodes stood there, holding his newly made life staff in one hand, on which there was still a khaki halo from the spell he had just cast.

Although the time was short and only ten layers were stacked, the effect of his newly learned fifth-level earth magic was still good and was able to block a direct attack from a sixth-level magic.

Moreover, it is a sixth-level monster with a huge body like the Mountain Giant.

Hearing his voice, everyone below was stunned at first, then they reacted and their faces showed ecstasy.

"We are saved!"

"Quick! Get rid of the monster first, then go over and help besiege those two..."

Boom——

Before the voice fell, the two mountain giants who had just climbed up from the ground were smashed to pieces by the hot-tempered Lex's claws, and even their bodies were knocked away. "..."

"???"

The crowd was silent at first, and then there was a sound of people inhaling.

The two level six giants who had forced them into a desperate situation were killed instantly?
Not to mention them, even the Giant King Uldaman fell into a moment of daze.

Seeing that Lux wanted to crush the two giants to death, he quickly shouted: "Don't kill them! They can still be saved!"

"Is there any hope?"

Lux and Rhodes both looked over at him.

"Yes." Uldaman nodded repeatedly, "It's just that their souls are polluted. They can recover as long as they are brought to clean land!"

Hearing his words, Lux glanced at Rhodes and when she saw him nod, she carried back the two giants who had fallen to the ground and were seriously injured.

It was not until then that Rhodes finally saw their appearance clearly. They looked exactly like newborn stones, except that the crystal bodies were gray.

“It seems to be really contaminated.”

Rhodes performed a wind dance and landed on the ground, looking at the two mountain giants.

He stretched out his hand, touched them gently, and sent a breath of life to them.

All of a sudden.

The gray dissipated and turned back to its original khaki color, and then he slowly woke up from his coma.

"I...where am I?"

"Shouldn't I die?"

The two mountain giants looked around in confusion, seemingly unaware of what was happening.

It can be seen that the pollution was not serious. It only affected their minds and did not take their lives.

But even so, it still shocked Uldaman and others.

"How did you dispel the pollution of their souls?!"

Uldaman's voice was excited. They had thought of countless ways to save their people, but they all failed in the end.

Because the entire Giant Kingdom has already been corrupted by this force, and they, the 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!"

Lux 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 faint spiritual aura.

It was this breath that not only polluted the mountain giants, but also controlled their consciousness. No wonder we couldn't contact them in the forest.

When he returned to the team again, Odaman seemed to be talking to Lux, and his eyes looked a little reserved.

"Lord Rhodes, I have finished asking questions."

Lux leaned over and said, "The Giant Kingdom is indeed polluted, but it is not due to the spread of the plane, but other reasons."

"Other reasons? What are they?"

Rhodes was a little surprised.

"Mother Earth!"

Before Lux could speak, Uldaman spoke first: "It was the Earth Mother who polluted this land. She was the previous Earth God, but she fell from the throne due to the disappearance of the earth element. For some reason, she suddenly awakened recently and took control of our giant clan!"

His voice was low and contained a hint of self-blame, as if he had seen again the scene of his tribesmen killing each other.

Rhodes was shocked when he heard this.

He didn't expect that the culprit was the previous God of Earth, the legendary earth god.

Could it be that the guy was targeting the mountain giants out of hatred for the Moon Goddess?
"You are the king of the giants? Even you are no match for the Earth Mother who has lost her throne?"

According to Augla, the Giant King's strength is very close to the eighth level. Coupled with the mountain giant's terrifying defense and recovery ability, he is able to fight even if he encounters an eighth-level opponent.

But in this situation now, has Mother Earth also been polluted?

How else can one use this kind of power?
"I……"

Uldaman looked downcast. He was in such a miserable state now that he didn't look like a king at all.

After a long silence, he finally knelt down in front of Rhode and said, "Please save the Mountain Clan!"

This scene startled the Imperial Guards who had just returned from clearing out the monsters, and their faces were filled with shock.

You know, this is the Giant King!

Even though he was down and out now, his dignity as a king could not be trampled upon. But now he was kneeling before this tree spirit, which made them unable to react for a moment, their mouths opened wide.

However, what shocked them even more was yet to come.

"Get up first."

Rhodes stretched out his hand and placed it on Uldaman's shoulder.

A surge of earth energy poured into his body, making his originally dull body become crystal clear.

slam-la-

Countless pieces of debris gathered on his body, protecting his body, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a middle-aged man with rock skin.

"Tell me about Mother Earth first."

The other party was once a god. As a gardener, he could save people, but if they fought head-on, he would probably not even be able to fill the gaps between his teeth.

It seems like I need to find a few more helpers, because not everyone can bully the Moon Goddess's followers!
