The fearless warrior gently patted the large rock's arm twice.

"It's actually a player?"

"The stone statue race, how amazing."

Zuya was patted twice and slowly turned his head to look at the fearless warrior.

Zuya is about 2.7 meters tall, much taller than a normal human, and it usually looks down at humans.

It is also wide enough to shield everyone behind it.

The Stone Statue race is not the stereotypical image of stone giants that one might imagine.

They have different postures and irregular shapes.

They are even more bizarre and varied in appearance than humans.

The stone statue in front of us, named "Zuya," is a figure with all four limbs supporting it on the ground. (As shown in the image above)

From a distance, it looks like a strange, still stone.

"Thanks."

It conveyed a message in a calm and understated way.

He simply thanked everyone.

"Oh! They're quite polite." Brave Warrior said in the team voice chat. "I thought all alien races were like orcs, killing anyone they saw."

“Different races have different attitudes toward humans, but we should all be as vigilant as possible when encountering unknown races,” Lu Cang replied calmly.

After thanking him, Zuya lifted his "leg" and prepared to leave.

But suddenly, Lu Cang called out to it.

"Wait, are you going to the Adamantite Forge?"

Zuya turned back again and looked at Lu Cang.

Its thoughts stirred slightly, and it remembered the rankings it had seen in the race rankings.

[The strongest human race - Azure Sky]

Zuya paused slightly, as if considering how to answer.

When it stops, it looks just like a real stone.

It's just that the shape is a bit strange.

Finally, after waiting for about half a minute, it gave a dull response: "Yes".

"Well, it's on the way, want to come along?" Lu Cang extended an invitation directly.

Zuya fell silent again.

Meanwhile, Bai Lu, Leng Qingying, and Yongzhe Wuwei all looked at their guild leader.

The president never invites others to join him without a reason.

If the president does that...

Bai Lu and the fearless warrior turned their gazes to Leng Qingying.

Leng Qingying felt slightly embarrassed as the two men stared at her.

Why are you looking at me...?

Look at the chairman.

Bai Lu and Brave Warrior nodded affirmatively; the guild leader definitely wanted to bring this stone into the guild.

This stone seems to be quite extraordinary.

After another half minute, Zuya finally responded again: "Okay."

Upon hearing Zuya's agreement, Lu Cang immediately sent her a [Membership Invitation].

[Azure Sky invites you to join the Human Race Guild - Godslayer]

Do you agree?

This message popped up in front of Zuya.

Zuya stared at the message, then froze again.

Membership invitation?

Does "going along the same road" mean something other than forming a team and acting together?

Zuya raised a hand and touched the stone head.

Did I misunderstand the meaning of "human race"? Was it due to cultural differences?

So, does "by the way" mean joining the other person's guild?

What does it mean exactly? 0.o

...

o.0?

After thinking for about five minutes, the burned trees had been restored and the grass on the ground had grown back.

The entire field has once again regained its vibrant life.

Under Lu Cang's orders, the others did not interrupt Zu Ya's thoughts, but waited for Zu Ya's response.

Monkeys gradually appeared around them, chattering and making a ruckus.

However, after they spawned, the fearless warrior, having nothing better to do, casually took away the monkeys that spawned around him with a few sword strikes.

Killing these monsters yielded little reward, except for a few copper coins.

The brave and fearless are too lazy to even pick it up.

Just as the fearless warrior was about to urge him on, a notification finally popped up.

[Zuya has joined the guild - Godslayer]

Welcome to our newest member!

Everyone was slightly taken aback when they saw the pop-up notification.

ah?

You've joined a guild already? That's way too sudden!

Did you just say to join a guild?

Didn't we say we'd go together?

They thought they were waiting for the stone man to accept the team invitation so they could all act together.

Unexpectedly, Lu Cang sent an invitation to join the guild!

No wonder this stone man took so long to think.

If it were them, their CPU would also burn for a while.

But what does it mean to agree like that? We've only known each other for less than five minutes!

Bai Lu and the others thought that bringing this stone man into the guild would involve some twists and turns.

For example, sharing hardships or taking risks together.

So you just joined?

Naturally shocked, everyone still clicked on the guild panel to check Zuya's detailed information after seeing that Zuya had agreed to join the guild.

As expected, Zuya's talent is S-level.

The guild leader indeed invited the player to join the guild because the other party was a player with S-level talent.

-------------------------------------

【Zuya - Level: 21 - Talent: Oblivious (S)】

[Sluggishness (S): Any damage received will inflict a 50-second Collapse state, causing the user to lose one-fiftieth of the damage amount as health per second. Damage from different attacks will be calculated separately and will not stack. The Collapse state caused by the source of the damage will end immediately upon the source of the damage's death.]

[Gain fixed damage reduction equal to 10% of Constitution; the Collapse state is affected by this fixed damage reduction.]

-------------------------------------

Perfect tank talent.

If 100,000 damage is dealt to him, it will turn into 2,000 HP loss per second for 50 seconds.

At the same time, it also grants damage reduction.

A 10% damage reduction based on Constitution means that with even a little Constitution, you have 2000 points of damage reduction.

That way, you can completely ignore 100,000 damage.

Even if an attack dealing a million damage lands on him, even if it cannot be completely ignored, it will still result in him losing 20,000 health points per second.

During this time, adding shields, drinking potions, and healing can help him withstand attacks for longer.

As for the attack that deals ten million damage...

There's no point in going any further; as long as the damage is high enough, even the tankiest tank will die.

This is just Zuya's talent, not his profession or equipment bonuses.

The existence of talent raises the ceiling, and just by seeing this talent, everyone can imagine how high Zuya's ceiling is.

In fact, the fact that you get 10% damage reduction from your constitution is already ridiculously powerful.

"Little Leng, your nemesis," Lu Cang said with a smile.

The veins on Leng Qingying's head were slightly visible.

Indeed, Zuya is the bane of multi-hit damage; the lower the single-hit damage, the more it counters you.

"As long as they're not enemies, that's fine," Leng Qingying replied in an indifferent tone.

Lu Cang recruited Zu Ya into the team.

In this way, the five-person team was finally assembled.

Zuya's level is not high, only level 21.

Because it lacks offensive capabilities, it can be said to be almost entirely harmless.

Therefore, the leveling speed is also much slower.

"Brother Stone, why did you agree to join the guild?" Brave Warrior asked tentatively.

Zuya tilted his head slightly.

It felt a little strange.

Wasn't it you guys who pulled me into joining the guild?

However, Zuya still intends to answer the question about the fearlessness of the brave.

It raised one hand and punched Lu Cang: "Pull."

He punched himself in the fist with his other hand: "Me."

"Oh, Stone Bro, you mean, when he pulled you, you agreed?"

Zuya nodded.

Uh, isn't that reason a bit too casual?

Wouldn't that mean you'd agree to anything anyone tried to get you to do?

After Zuya joined, the group's pace slowed down considerably.

Zuya is unable to ride a horse.

However, Lu Cang strangely pulled out a board with wheels from his backpack.

Make Zuya stand on the board and hold down three ropes.

At the other end of the rope were three crimson warhorses, which pulled Zuya galloping!

Lu Cang took quite a few mount horns from the orcish treasury.

Anyway, the backpack has plenty of space and can hold a lot of things.

Zuya, who was being dragged along, never imagined such a thing could happen.

As a slow-moving stone man, he has never enjoyed the feeling of galloping across the grasslands.

0.o

But this feeling of speed.

It was pretty fun.

After running for about 20 minutes, covering nearly 100 kilometers, the group gradually disappeared into a dense forest.

The speed slowed down considerably again.

But gradually, they heard a series of noisy shouts coming from not far away!

The ground also trembled slightly from time to time.

The direction in which the people were moving was also the direction from which the sound was coming from.

Boom!

A huge, muffled tremor followed.

A neighing sound came from the horses.

Immediately afterwards, the group passed through the dense forest and arrived at a relatively open area.

As soon as the view opened up, we saw a giant tortoise with a huge body and trees and grass growing on its back.

-------------------------------------

【Forest Giant Turtle】

[Special: World Boss]

[Level: 30]

[Health Points: 45,848,255 / 976,500,000 (Nine Hundred and Seventy Million)]

-------------------------------------

A world boss? Appearing in a place like this?

But what also attracted everyone's attention were the goblins who surrounded the giant tortoise, blocking it completely.

Oh, so it's other races fighting the world boss.

They just happened to run into them.
