899 The Giant Spirit Race (2)
Ordinary people would definitely be able to hear the sarcasm in Zhou Shu’s words. But Ji Lutian’s train of thought was completely different from that of ordinary people.
He said, “How would I know where he came from? Wait, why do I feel like I’ve seen such a giant somewhere before?”
Ji Lutian looked thoughtful.
Zhou Shu’s heart skipped a beat. Ji Lutian’s background was mysterious. The Ji Lutian he knew had once said that he had lost some of his memories, so he couldn’t remember many things.
It was unknown what relationship this Ji Lutian in front of him had with the Ji Lutian he knew. But it was obvious that Ji Lutian wasn’t an ordinary person. Could he really know this giant?
“I remember now!” Ji Lutian patted his head excitedly. “Isn’t he a giant spirit?”
“What is a giant spirit?” Zhou Shu was puzzled.
“Giant spirits aren’t humans. They’re from the giant spirit race,” Ji Lutian said. “A long time ago, before the human race existed in the world, the giant spirit race was the ruler of the world, just like the human race now.”
Zhou Shu couldn’t help saying, “The current human race isn’t the ruler of the world.”
The strength of the human race was inferior to that of demonic beasts. How could there be such a weak ruler?
“Don’t interrupt,” Ji Lutian said angrily. He seemed to recall something and continued, “When the giant spirit race attacked Heaven, the entire race should have died in battle. Why is there still one who escaped?”
The giant spirit race? Attack Heaven? Zhou Shu seemed to understand something. Before the appearance of the human race, there was a race in the world, the giant spirit race.
If the giant spirit race attacked Heaven, didn’t they fight Heaven like humans were doing?
They had been defeated, and their entire race had died in battle and disappeared from the world.
For a moment, countless scenes flashed through Zhou Shu’s mind. If the human race was defeated, the outcome would be the same for them.
If all humans died in battle, leaving him alone in the world, he would be like this giant spirit. He would live for countless years and then die alone in a corner of the world.
No, I will never allow that to happen.
The human race must not lose!
“Ji Lutian, have you seen the giant spirit race?” Zhou Shu asked solemnly. “How do you know of the existence of the giant spirit race?”
“Shouldn’t you have some knowledge about common things?” Ji Lutian said. “Who am I? I am Ji Lutian! Is there anything in this world that I don’t know?”
Ji Lutian was full of confidence.
Boom!
Before Ji Lutian could finish speaking, there was a sudden loud bang, and the ground shook.
The entire palace shook violently.
The giant sitting cross-legged on the ground moved his fingers. He was actually still alive!
Zhou Shu stabilized himself and quickly asked, “Ji Lutian, how strong is the giant spirit race? What is their personality like?”
“How should I know? I’ve never dealt with them before,” Ji Lutian replied.
“Didn’t you say there’s nothing you don’t know?” Zhou Shu said angrily. He was already prepared to fight.
“It’s said that the giant spirit race has a gentle personality—”
Before Ji Lutian could finish speaking, the giant sitting cross-legged opened his eyes.
A glint flashed across his bell-like eyes as his ancient gaze landed on Zhou Shu and Ji Lutian.
“You’re finally back,” the giant said. His voice was like deep thunder, resonating with the entire bronze palace, causing a buzzing sound.
“Me?” Zhou Shu and Ji Lutian spoke at the same time.
At this moment, another voice sounded. “Yes, I’m back.”
Zhou Shu and Ji Lutian looked over at the same time and saw Xiaoyu’er, who was sitting on Zhou Shu’s shoulder, suddenly light up with white light. She slowly flew into the air.
Then her figure grew at a visible speed.
From three to four years old, she became five years old… eight years old… and then twelve years old…
After a few breaths, Xiaoyu’er had already become seventeen to eighteen years old. She was slender, curvaceous, and graceful like an immortal.
Zhou Shu frowned. The grownup Xiaoyu’er was too unfamiliar.
Ji Lutian’s eyes widened. He rubbed his eyes again and pinched his thigh, causing him to grimace in pain.
“Welcome back, Your Highness.” The giant stood up and knelt on one knee.
Ji Lutian’s jaw dropped. “Hey, isn’t she your daughter? Why is this giant spirit calling her princess?”
He looked at Zhou Shu in shock. “Are you the king of the giant spirit race? Your head doesn’t look like it. Legend has it that the king of the giant spirit race is nearly thirty meters tall…”
Zhou Shu was speechless. Ji Lutian’s train of thought is really special. Why would he think of that?
He didn’t answer Ji Lutian but stared at Xiaoyu’er, who was in the air.
Although Xiaoyu’er looked like she had grown up, she wasn’t as tall as the giant. At most, she was about the same height as Zhou Shu.
“Rise. It’s been hard on you all these years.” Xiaoyu’er raised her hand elegantly.
Her voice and temperament were completely different from those of the little girl from before. It immediately felt like she was in a superior position.
“For my race, it’s not hard.” The giant’s voice rumbled like thunder.
“Your Highness, should we get rid of these two outsiders?” Killing intent flashed across the giant’s eyes, and an invisible pressure instantly descended on Zhou Shu and Ji Lutian.
Zhou Shu’s expression was solemn. Before he moved, Ji Lutian was already furious.
“So what if you’re big? Do you think you can defeat me?” Ji Lutian shouted angrily. “Come, let’s fight!”
A dazzling light erupted from his body, and he rolled up his sleeves, ready to attack the giant.
Zhou Shu grabbed him and looked at Xiaoyu’er in the air.
His expression was calm. If she gave an affirmative answer, then his Xiaoyu’er would no longer be around, and he wouldn’t show mercy.
Xiaoyu’er didn’t turn around, but Zhou Shu still saw her shoulders tremble slightly.
“No need. Just chase them out,” Xiaoyu’er said.
“Yes,” the giant replied. He stood up, his aura extremely violent, and stomped heavily.
A deafening sound came from the bronze palace. Before Zhou Shu and Ji Lutian could react, a violent force was already smashing into their bodies.
Boom!
A powerful light erupted from their bodies at the same time, and they flew out of the bronze palace uncontrollably.
Boom!
Right on the heels of this, the bronze door closed with a bang.
Zhou Shu and Ji Lutian flipped in the air and landed on the ground almost at the same time.
“Damn it!” Ji Lutian was furious. He rolled up his sleeves and kicked the bronze door.
Boom!
A light appeared on the bronze door and bounced Ji Lutian back.
Ji Lutian shouted angrily. He took out a long sword and attacked the bronze door crazily.
The bronze door was unscathed under the attacks of the Grotto-Heaven realm expert. Instead, the sword beams reflected by it made Ji Lutian a little flustered.
“Ji Lutian, stop! There’s an avalanche!” Zhou Shu shouted.
Under the wrecking of the sword beams, mountains collapsed and the ground cracked on the ice plain. The snow mountains in the distance directly avalanched, and the snow waves rolled toward them.
Zhou Shu cursed in his heart. He took a step and soared into the sky.
Seeing this, Ji Lutian cursed and also flew into the air.
The two of them had just soared into the air when the huge pit that Zhou Shu had created was already submerged by snow. The entire ice plain instantly turned into a vast expanse of white, and the bronze door had already disappeared from sight.
Ji Lutian said unhappily, “Kid, aren’t you the kind of the giant spirit race? How can your subordinate treat you like this? How can you tolerate this? Anyway, if it were me, I wouldn’t be able to tolerate it!”
