"Not only is a Giant Emperor's intelligence not inferior to a human's, it's actually higher than most. Once a Giant Emperor appears, the giants' power level is unpredictable, and they can easily control these giants," Hui Santong continued.
"Cut the crap. Who doesn't know that? Now, let's talk about how to get past the wall." Ku Lei was annoyed.
Hui Santong continued, "There's only one way to get past the wall, and that's to hide your scent. To the guardian giants, we're just ants. As long as we hide our scent, they rarely pay attention to what the ants are doing. Would you care what the ants on the ground are doing?"
Everyone looked at the wall, as Hui Santong's intentions were clear. He wanted them to capture the giants and use their blood to cover their scent.
On the other side, Silver and the other two had also arrived. They looked at the giant wall in the distance, and Silver was shocked. "There's actually a giant civilization in Progenitor Chen's tomb. It looks like a Giant Emperor has appeared. Interesting."
Lu Yin was also shocked. He still remembered what he had seen in the trial on the giant planet in the Umbral Butterfly Weave.
The giants on the giant planet liked to cover their backs with mud as a form of defense, but those giants were very weak. Compared to the guardian giants here, the difference was like heaven and earth.
The giants on the giant planet were probably just a branch of the giants. The Giant Emperor was very intelligent and could play around with many people. It also knew how to hide its strength. If a Giant Emperor had appeared among the guardian giants here, then its intelligence would not be low. In that case, it probably already knew about Lu Yin's group.
"The heirs of the Seven Courts are thinking of a way to get past the wall. Let's wait for them to attract the guardian giants' attention, then we'll sneak in from behind.
What do you think, Captain? "Silver beamed at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's eyes were filled with an aura of death, and he stared blankly at the wall without saying a word.
Silver smiled as he looked in another direction. Xia Jiuyou and the others were there.
Not long after, several guardian giants jumped down from the wall and smashed into the ground, bending the spikes and causing the ground to shake and crack.
They could smell Xia Jiuyou and the others.
"Hide!" Hui Santong barked.
Everyone concealed their auras and spread out.
A total of three guardian giants walked out, twitching their noses as they moved in three different directions. As they walked, they used their clubs to smash holes in the ground.
Xia Jiuyou and the Tear Lady were in charge of luring two away while the rest attacked the remaining guardian giant.
Boom
The earth trembled as the Tomb Guardian Giant collapsed. The club fell to the side, and Ku Lei used lightning to form a blade that slashed across the calf. Blood splattered across the ground, splattering onto You Qin and the others.
Xia Jiuyou and Tearing Lady rushed back, and at the same time, they were stained with the giant's blood.
At this moment, the two guardian giants rushed back. Hui Santong said, "It's done. We'll be able to enter in a few days." Then, everyone dispersed.
The injured guardian giant stood up after everyone left. Compared to his huge body, the injury to his calf was like a cut by a tree branch. It was not an injury at all.
With everyone's scent covered, the three guardian giants could only return to the city wall.
The injured guardian giant's movements were clearly slower, and he almost fell when he leaped onto the city wall. Silver almost laughed out loud when he saw this.
"Why do we have to wait for a few more days?" Ku Lei asked anxiously.
Hui Santong replied, "A Giant Emperor has appeared here. Ordinary guardian giants don't have much intelligence, but a Giant Emperor is different. We can't attract its attention."
No one refuted him. If the Giant Emperor really had the intelligence of a human, then it would be terrifying. Moreover, to be able to become the Giant Emperor, he would definitely be the strongest among the guardian giants.
They might not be able to deal with him even if they worked together, and they might not even be able to escape.
You Qin looked at Xia Jiuyou. "Why aren't you leaving?
Your Xia family has always been fearless in Progenitor Chen's tomb. The guardian giants won't attack you, right? "
Xia Jiuyou replied, "The Giant Emperor has awakened his intelligence. No one can guess his actions."
"Ordinary guardian giants attack based on scent. The Xia family lives on the Xia Blade, and it's said that the Xia Blade was once a weapon used by Progenitor Chen's clone. The scent is the same, so it won't be attacked. The Giant Emperor is different," Hui Santong explained.
Xia Jiuyou glanced at Hui Santong. Although he was explaining for him, he was actually telling everyone that the Xia Blade was indeed a weapon used by Progenitor Chen's clone. The Hui family knew too much.
Two days later, Xie Xiaoxian and Shu Jing arrived.
"We thought you wouldn't come." Hui Santong looked at Xie Xiaoxian in surprise.
Xie Xiaoxian's expression was sullen as she glared at Shu Jing. She had thought that he wouldn't be able to take it and would leave. Who knew that he would stay at the entrance for an entire month?
Shu Jing was very calm. His goal was to strengthen his physical body, and the Seven Courts' She family was very good at this. Since Xie Xiaoxian had entered Progenitor Chen's tomb, there was no reason for her to return empty-handed. He didn't know much about Progenitor Chen's tomb anyway, so he just stared at Xie Xiaoxian until she went crazy.
"Oh? You got some giant blood?
Is there more?
Give me some, "said Xie Xiaoxian.
Ce Jiu smiled and pointed at the ground.
Xie Xiaoxian looked over and saw a pool of giant blood on the ground. It had been spilled by the injured giant.
She pursed her lips. "What do you mean?"
"You should know what it means to have a wall here. We can only lure the giants here once. If we do it again, we might attract the Giant Emperor's attention," Hui Santong said.
Xie Xiaoxian rolled her eyes. "Forget it. The Giant Emperor will know as soon as we come in. Besides, didn't he hear the loud sound of the horn a while ago?"
"The Giant Emperor might think that the giants are rebelling. He might not be sure that it's us," Ce Jiu said.
Xie Xiaoxian pouted. "I can't be bothered to argue with you." She then walked over to the pool of blood on the ground and was about to make a move, but Shu Jing acted before she could.
Not long after, the two of them were also stained with the giant's blood.
Hui Santong looked up at the dark dome. "Let's wait for three more days. We'll cross the wall in three days."
On the other side, Silver looked into the distance. "They shouldn't be waiting for much longer. We'll follow them in. Captain, if you're still conscious, run if you can. Don't stab me in the back. I didn't do anything wrong."
Lu Yin stood in place, not moving as he continued to stare at the wall.
There were no rune lines in Progenitor Chen's tomb, so he couldn't see anything. However, he could sense a terrifying power lurking on the other side of the wall.
He kept reminding himself that the guardian giants in front of him were completely different from the giants he had seen before.
The giants on the giant planet could only destroy planets at their strongest, but the guardians here had the power to do so.
Suddenly, Lu Yin recalled the giant's right arm that he had obtained from the border warehouse. That size wasn't for a normal human, but it was still too small for a true giant.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. During these three days, there was nothing unusual about the guardians. Everyone used the giant's blood to mask their scent, and the guardians outside the wall returned to their tribes one by one. The guardians on the wall were very calm.
"Let's go!" Hui Santong shouted. Even though he wasn't the strongest, it was common knowledge in the Neoverse that the Hui family should be the main force in a battle. This was common knowledge that the Hui family had established over countless years, and even the head of the Seven Courts, the Xia family, acknowledged it.
Although the wall was tall, it was nothing more than a single step for the group. They easily crossed it and rushed past under the noses of many guardians to see the other side of the wall.
Everyone was shocked. Even though they had already guessed that this was a civilization, it was still unbelievable when they actually saw it.
On the other side of the wall, there were huge houses built for the giants to live in. They were arranged neatly, and even though each house looked like it had been casually piled up with stones and was filled with a sense of desolation, it was still a style. The streets were also very clean, a stark contrast to the outside of the wall. A civilization had really appeared here.
The group crossed the wall and was first shocked by the giants' civilization. Then, everyone looked into the distance, where there was a huge pool of blood in the center of the houses built by the giants. Blood qi filled the surroundings, and just one look was enough to make everyone's minds rumble. It was as if they were looking at a giant standing in the starry sky. It was so huge that it could crush planets and destroy space with a casual pinch.
Everyone felt their chests tighten, and they all fell to the ground. They subconsciously hid in a corner and panted heavily.
Xia Jiuyou clutched his chest in shock. What had just happened?
How could there be such a giant?
Compared to that giant, the guardians here were like ants. Did such a giant exist in the universe?
That kind of pressure, that kind of overflowing aura?
Could it be … Progenitor Chen's clone?
It wasn't just Xia Jiuyou; everyone else had the same thought.
There was blood at the corner of Hui Santong's mouth. It was no wonder why a civilization had appeared here and why a Giant Emperor had appeared. One of the giants must have accidentally dug up Progenitor Chen's clone's blood and gained intelligence. No, that wasn't all. If that was really the case, then the Giant Emperor's strength and potential were extremely terrifying. It was possible that it had inherited a portion of Progenitor Chen's clone's strength.
Xie Xiaoxian looked excitedly in the direction of the blood pool, as the blood was definitely from Progenitor Chen's clone. Since there was blood here, it also meant that there was a high possibility that there were bones. She wanted bones, and as long as she could obtain Progenitor Chen's bones, her power would increase by leaps and bounds. She would be on a completely different level from her current strength, and she would be able to break through to the Enlighter realm.
So what if they had the Nine Clones Technique or the Three Yangs Ancestral Qi? She didn't believe that those people were invincible. However, the prerequisite was that they had to obtain Progenitor Chen's bones.
Lei Nu and Shu Jing exchanged glances, both of them secretly shocked. Progenitor Chen's blood had actually appeared here. Progenitor Chen's tomb had changed, and the value of this place was even higher than what the Hall of Honor had estimated. It was possible that Progenitor Chen's clone's corpse really existed here.
No one said anything, as they all had their own thoughts, but no one said anything.
Everyone was silent for a while, and Ku Lei was the most impatient. "Now that we're past the city walls, let's split up."
Hui Santong glanced at him but didn't say anything.
Ku Lei snorted and was the first to leave.
