Chapter 409 Living Gold
The Styx shipping transported the rune giants ashore, and a long horn sounded in the mountains, and it was heard from the distance with unique pauses and continuous echoes. At the same time, two brown-yellow hill giants rushed over from the cliffs and hillsides. Their bodies were fat and their bare belly bounced up and down, but their entire bodies could hang on the cliffs like balls and jump forward, several times more flexible than rock sheep. Soon they came to Fitch.
"Tell your king Jiaoluo, we have rescued Tata." Yaka said to the giants at Feichi's gesture: "Pay the reward quickly, we have limited time!"
"It seems he is dead, we..."
The hill giant's mind is indeed not very smart. Such quibbling may affect others, but the devil is unmoved. Yaka directly spat on the ground and said, "What qualifications do you have to make a big fuss about here? Are you the king Jiao Luo?"
So the hill giant began to shout, saying nonsense like "This is the kingdom of giants, we are the rulers here, and all creatures must obey the giants." Yaka responded from time to time with ridicule, and acted like this kind of verbal confrontation. But the devils had already taken this time to consolidate their positions and spread the reconnaissance and defense posts around.
After more than an hour, a team of forty giants emerged from the mountains and gathered towards the riverside. The leader was three rune giants. Only compared with the mountains, their size would not appear so large. As they approached, the vibration of the ground became more and more obvious, and the roar of giant rocks and landslides rose one after another. In fact, the giants were used to the mountain environment and could move on the cliffs without hurting the turf. They deliberately made such a huge sound just to shock the devils.
It was just that a very successful raid was completed. Feige's devils were full of enthusiasm for fighting, and the shocking actions of the giants only made them more excited. As the spokesperson of evil, the devils would first fulfill the contract, but after completion, there were also many things that started raiding immediately and killed the former partners with a cruel and ruthless attitude. Therefore, the devils were always in the battle preparations, killing was killing, so that they would not waste time playing tricks to shock the enemy.
The giants approached, and judging by their rapid spread of their actions to seize the high ground, they were also guarding against the devil. A particularly strong rune giant stood in front of Yaka. He had his head shaved, but had a large white beard, combed into sixteen braids and hung down. The ends of each braid were dark red, which was made of stained with enemy blood according to the custom of giants. Each braid symbolized two hundred kills, or conquered a city of more than ten thousand people. Feichi hoped that it would be the latter, so that the giant would be richer.
"Horn Demon, you really sent my Tata back. But why did he remain unconscious?" Jiao Luo squatted down, then lowered his head, still higher than Yaka. He looked down at the more than thirty devils in front of him, and his brown eyes trembled slightly, as if he was observing and evaluating the strength of these devils in front of him. "My Tata must be intact, so I will pay you."
"He is indeed intact," Fitch said.
"Why dare this contract demon interject?" The corner waved his hand vigorously, and the slap passed by Yaka, slapped heavily on his chest. "Pan!" A loud bang swept across with the strong wind, and the terrible destructive power of the rune giant's every move was undoubtedly revealed. The wings behind Yaka shook slightly, maintaining balance effortlessly, while Feichi did not shake in a flash.
"The soul contract is with me, and I can speak on behalf of the lord, so of course I have my say in this matter." Feiqi raised his right hand and a scroll with golden light appeared in his palm. The giant Jiao Luo did not need to be careful. His soul throbbed and he had already determined the authenticity of the soul contract without doubt.
"I allow you to speak." Jiao Luo habitually narrowed his eyes and looked at Feiqi, especially the soul contract that was tightly held in his hand: "According to the contract, bring my son back intact, and you will get the promised reward."
At this step of the transaction, Feiqi was not worried that the giants would violate their promises. The deterrence of the soul contract was still very powerful. The rune giants were born evil, so they could not get the help of the angels, so they could not use redemption to fight the soul contract. Therefore, Feiqi took back the spell that kept the rune giant sleeping and let the giant prince wake up slowly.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he immediately entered the battle alert. He waved his fist at the devil closest to him without thinking. A smile appeared on the corner of King Jiaoluo's mouth, and he was proud. Such a lively and full of fighting spirit was his son! When meeting a stranger in a strange place, wave his fist first. The rest must be easier than before wielding a fist. This is the Rune Titan's philosophy of dealing with things!
Feiqi was not within the range of being attacked, but he was prepared for it. With his right hand waving, a space crack appeared in front of the giant's fist, teleporting something a hundred times more terrifying than the siege hammer to other places. The ice demon, who was originally in front of the fist, had raised his arms to make blocking moves, and was surprised to find that the giant's "hand was broken". He smiled, vibrated his wings, and opened the distance.
The giant prince retracted his fist in confusion. He felt no discomfort except for one punch. The lack of magic knowledge made him unable to understand the power of the space crack blocking technique. He supported the ground with one hand and prepared to punch another with the other. At this time, Yaka roared: "The second punch is to pretend to be confused and want to attack! Is the giant ready to tear the agreement in this way?"
"Stop!" King Jiao Luo shouted immediately, so his son had to give up the second punch halfway and took it back in disappointment. "Come here, come back to the tribe, we have more battles to do."
It was obvious that the giant prince was still a little unsatisfied. He looked at the devil around him with contempt, deliberately swung his arms and walked over from the devil with a striking attitude, and returned to his father. He was slapped twice in the first place, and his face sounded loud and red, but any devil who was proficient in torture and torture could see that the two slaps could not leave any wounds. "Go and find Haman and let her check it."
The other party must inspect the goods, which is also within the devil's expectations. The rune giant's spell ability is not strong, and their detection and medical spells are primitive and simple, so it is difficult to find out the control spell that Feiqi hides with the ability of the heart-turning demon.
The caster waiting for the giant - not sure whether it was a shaman or a priest, because he didn't know whether the sign in the guy's hand was totem or a holy emblem - waited for her to examine Tata's body in detail, and even checked the inner side of his lips and nostrils, he finally confirmed that the rune giant prince was intact.
"Come with me, I will pay you." King Jiao Luo waved his hand and asked the devils to keep up.
Feiqi jumped onto the shoulder of an ice demon and followed it as a mount first. Yaka followed with other demons. The devil's reconnaissance post by the river did not move. They wanted to guard this place so that they could call on the Styx to take everyone away.
The giants followed him for a while and soon separated, leaving only King Jiaoluo and Prince Tata. "The only places we are going to now are my immediate family members who can go. You are a special case. Do you know what to do?"
"The contract stipulates that the location and inventory of the rune giant treasure house is not disclosed in any way. The devil has always abide by the contract, so you don't have to worry about this."
"Hmph. Although you are another devil, there is no difference between the devil and the devil. After getting the reward, you will leave my sight. I will not struggle to identify your face next time I meet."
"Please don't identify it and fight as much as you like." Feiqi showed the devil's smile: "If possible, please attack hell! Since the devil was cleaned up, we were completely idle."
The Rune Giant King snorted, "There is a good verbal skill, and he is a competent contract demon, that's all."
They climbed over more than thirty hills and had already penetrated into the core of the mountains. They came to a barren land without vegetation, and then stopped. Feiqi jumped off the Ice Demon's shoulder, frowned as soon as he landed on the ground, leaned over and placed his palm on the rocks covered with gravel. Seeing this, the Horned Demon Yaka immediately began to be alert, but Feiqi clapped his hands and stood up with a smile: "There is indeed a feeling of gold here, and the quantity is huge, and even the elemental environment has been seriously affected."
"At most, there can only be grass here, and no tree can grow." Tata said, then his father glared at him.
"I'll let you come here today, because you know how much the tribe pays for your mistakes! From today on, your spoils and income will be used first to compensate for the losses!"
"Hey, isn't it just to rob more? Give me a team and I'll be able to grab it back soon!"
Feiqi flew into the air and stood among the two giants: "If you have robbery work in the future, we can also accept employment. But pay the reward first, then there will be a next time, okay?"
King Jiao Luo waved his hand and seemed to drive away flies, but he did not slap the slap on Fitch in the end. Then he hammered hard at a specific position on the rock, and at the same time activated his bloodline to make the runes hidden under the skin shine. When the runes light up, the giant can use simple spells and even make himself bigger. This is true for King Jiao Luo. His body expanded and he became a giant standing tall. Then he reached into the mountain and lifted it up hard. The entire hillside was lifted up by him, revealing the huge hole below.
Feiqi was sweating. He originally thought that this place would be a kind of magic mechanism that would automatically move the passage after receiving the correct password, but he did not expect it to be a manhole cover that was transported by brute force. However, the "manhole cover" moved by the giant was very strong and showed no sign of its own disintegration. Feiqi went around the inside to check and found that it was actually a mountain covered with mineral veins.
The rune giant did not leave time for the devils to test. As soon as they put down the manhole cover, they took them down. They walked from the inside of the mountain into the ground. The disappearing light had no effect on them, but the howls from deeper were confusing. Soon, with the sound of dull and rapid footsteps, two giants holding all-metal spears rushed over. When they saw King Jiaoluo, they immediately lowered their weapons and knelt down in tame.
These are two deformed giants. They are extremely hunched, their curved spines are almost semicircular, and there are tumors similar to hump behind their shoulders. The hunchback giants can hang their arms to the ground, and their legs bend backward like chickens, completely different from other giants. Their eyes are thin and narrow, and emit milky white light in the dark, which is obviously adapting to the underground environment. A very strong smell emitted from them is not body odor, but rather like some kind of alchemy potion.
"Fight his weight, and then take out ten times the weight of living gold." King Jiaoluo said.
"Living gold?" Feiqi captured this keenly and asked immediately: "Are you going to change the reward?"
"Our gold is different from you, and you will understand after you see it." The king was not in a hurry to explain, but led them to go deeper.
After walking down hundreds of meters, his eyes suddenly became clear. A huge cave appeared in front of everyone. There was underground magma flowing, and on the other side there was a river. In the middle of the double-teamed water and fire was a flat open space, where more than thirty golden dragons lived. They were tied up with chains like goats, and each of their wings and legs were cut off. The only way to move was to crawl on the ground with their bound front paws. The wailing sounds I heard before were made by these golden dragons. After seeing the devil, they showed a more desperate expression in their eyes. However, Fitch noticed that this despair only appeared in the eyes of larger and older golden dragons. Those younger ones only had numbness in their eyes. Perhaps they had not flown freely from the beginning, and without comparison, they would not have such deep pain.
"This is our living gold," King Jiaoluo said proudly: "These golden dragons belong to a special category, they are real golden dragons. If we feed them this alchemy gold, they can grow golden scales. Come and see how they look!"
He walked to the golden dragon and pressed the dragon's neck with one hand, and directly picked the dragon scales with the other hand, and pulled down a piece of it. The golden dragon trembled for a moment, but he did not dare to wail, let alone resist. Feiqi couldn't bear it, but he could not show any sympathy on his expression. He stretched out his hand and took the blood-stained dragon scale.
In terms of hand feel material, half of the heavy dragon scales are indeed gold, forming an extra layer of protective shell, and the other half is ordinary horny dragon scales. This is a protective scale similar to composite armor. Although I don’t know how much defense it can improve, in terms of value, these dragons that can produce golden scales can indeed be called live gold.
"If the growth time is extended, the entire scale can be gold. Then you can take it down and melt it directly. What I want to give you are pure gold scales." King Jiao Luo pointed to several boxes in the corner and said, "These boxes have a total of 700 tons of gold, and then I will give you a few live golden dragons to tell you how to raise them. Your lord will definitely reward you with such a money tree!"
"No wonder you are the richest giant king in the world," Yaka saved one or two words, which was a flattery. "This is how the gold you paid to the devil mercenaries came, right?"
The Rune Giant King snorted twice, as a default. He was thinking about the soul contract, so he kept looking at Feiqi and asked, "What do you think of this payment method?"
