Bab 3: The Towering Giant
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Prince Eli, we can not advance!"
The general said solemnly.
They had actually come to the burial ground of the gods.
This was a golden land filled with the aura of death.
Legend had it that this was the battlefield of angels and demons.
The gods had launched an intense battle here. As a result, every piece of land was stained with the blood of gods and demons.
In the past, some people had been to this place.
Among them, there was no lack of powerful cultivators.
But no one had ever left alive.
Without exception.
As time passed.
This place became a forbidden area.
On the main road, the burial grounds of the gods were the existence of nightmares.
It could stop children from crying.
Eli frowned. He looked at the general's solemn face and turned his head to look at the pitch-black stone tablet.
He had heard of this place.
Especially the blood-red words on the black stone tablet deeply stimulated his soul.
At this moment, he seemed to have entered an endless abyss.
Inside, there was a demon that opened its mouth, wanting to devour him.
Soon, Eli woke up.
Even so, he still ordered the soldiers to move forward.
At this point, he had no way out.
He could only move forward.
The 100,000 soldiers of the Thunder God Empire were coming.
If they did not go in, they would die in the hands of the enemy.
Go in or die.
It was a choice.
Eli would rather die in there than fall into the hands of the enemy.
But the general disagreed.
He felt that there was a third way, and it might not even be a viable option.
The other soldiers were also trying to persuade Prince Eli.
They were also afraid of this place.
The legendary gods had the ability to turn the world upside down, not to mention the demons.
It had already penetrated deep into everyone's bone marrow.
Even if they died now, who knew if there were half-dead and half-alive monsters in there.
After all, gods and demons had extremely long lifespans.
Moreover, even if they were all dead...
The aura they left behind was not something they could withstand.
Otherwise, why would they...
Since ancient times, so many people had died when they entered.
There must be an unusual aura inside.
If they entered, they would definitely die.
When that happened, it would be terrible if they accidentally angered the gods.
Everyone was stunned.
"General Mofei, we can't wait any longer."
At this moment, Eli's face was solemn.
"The Thunder God Empire has already sealed off the Savage Forest. We have no other choice but to enter."
Eli had his own considerations.
Before his father fell seriously ill, he had a strange dream.
He said something he did not understand.
He said that the Kingdom of Wisdom was about to meet its end and that he would die soon.
The Thunder God Empire would march all the way, attacking the Kingdom of Wisdom and winning.
Eli asked if there was a way to break it.
His father took out a world prop: The Heart of Wisdom.
He said that he would take the Heart of Wisdom and go to the wild forest.
There was hope for the Kingdom of Wisdom there.
So...
When the Thunder God Empire had chased him, he had planned to flee the Savage Forest.
He did not expect that he would be discovered in the end.
There was no other way.
He retreated because 100,000 soldiers were looking for him.
His only hope was the god burial grounds.
Maybe he could meet a living God and save their kingdom.
For the hope of the Kingdom of Wisdom, for the billions of people.
As long as they could find hope, this little danger was nothing.
General Mofei nodded after hearing this.
He was once the old king's trusted aide and was deeply trusted by the king.
He believed Eli's words without a doubt.
Even if Eli were not there, they would still go in.
Protecting the prince was their responsibility.
Now, they were shouldering the heavy responsibility of saving the kingdom. However, they could not back down.
Even if they had to give up this life, they had to win the hope of recovery.
Under General Mofei's lead, the group crossed the god burial grounds and approached.
Nothing strange happened on the way.
However, the gloomy aura became heavier and heavier.
It was bone-chilling.
Prince Eli looked around cautiously and subconsciously tightened his clothes.
General Mofei walked at the front and listened to the roars of the wild beasts nearby. Finally, he perked up his spirits.
The other soldiers were also listening in all directions.
It would be a lie to say that they were not afraid. As they felt the gloomy aura around them, anyone who came would be afraid.
"Jiiii..."
"Ka cha..."
Strange roars came from afar, as well as the sounds coming from the bushes around them.
All of this made Eli and the others' hearts skip a beat.
The burial grounds of the gods.
As they went deeper in, the place became even eerier.
There were countless towering ancient trees around them, and they were pitch black.
The black and red leaves were hung all over the tree branches, and the sky was no longer as blue as it was outside.
Instead, it was filled with black and red, and it was dark.
In addition to the strange cries that came from time to time, there was rustling in the trees.
Their gazes were like electronic radar as they scanned their surroundings.
It was too strange.
There was not a single gust of wind around, but everyone felt goosebumps all over their bodies.
At this moment, a soldier's gaze suddenly widened, and it was unknown what he saw.
His trembling hands pointed at the mysterious object in front of him.
Eli and Mofei were puzzled.
They looked in the direction of the finger.
They were instantly stunned, their mouths agape.
They wanted to say something but found that they could not say anything. Their limbs were trembling.
In front of them.
There was a towering object that towered into the clouds.
With every step, it left a deep ravine, shaking the earth.
It was a giant foot.
They could all see that it was as huge as a towering mountain.
At this moment, they could not describe their feelings.
To them, this was completely beyond their understanding.
The lower half of the giant's body was comparable to a hundred thousand feet tall mountain. However, looking at the upper half of the giant's body, it stood in the fog and could not be seen at all.
This giant was Emerson, who was walking around.
"This..." Prince Eli swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
He was completely dumbfounded.
In his knowledge, he had never seen such a magnificent giant.
This supernatural phenomenon had surpassed his knowledge.
Perhaps, only the ancient gods could be so huge.
Mofei was also stunned.
As a general, he had traveled from north to south and fought in all directions. As a result, he had seen countless strange people and strange things.
However, he had never been as shocked as he was today.
The other soldiers seemed to have lost their souls.
Everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them.
"Could this be the hope of saving my kingdom? This is too terrifying."
...
Ten miles away, a mighty army swept through everything.
They were fully armed and wore silver-gray armor. They held bows, arrows, spears, sabers, and shields in their hands.
They gave off a powerful aura.
There were two generals riding horses among them.
"The king has ordered that whoever catches Eli will be rewarded with a thousand acres of land and ten thousand taels of gold. In addition, he will be conferred the title of Viscount."
Following the voice of this general, the soldiers roared loudly.
Their imposing manner shook the heavens.
"What... what is that?"
At this moment, someone among them shouted in fear.
