Dark light, dilapidated ruins, and the ferocious appearance of the guardian beast awakened by the outsiders.
Various minerals coalesced into brave and fearless stone figures, whose status was determined by the hardness of the minerals. They were quickly organized into an army and launched a counterattack against the invaders.
"Bang!"
A meteor pierced the chest of the 30-meter-tall stone figure, and Haddad charged out like a wild beast, dug out a piece of gold, and put it into his storage belt.
He was burly and powerful, his giant magic continuously running, the burst of energy comparable to a single strike from a magic cannon, causing mountains to crumble and the earth to split, leaving the guardian beasts of the Giant City ruins unable to lift their heads, reduced to rubble, and dropping various rare metals.
Similarly, he was also in a bad state, suffering minor injuries. The greed hidden within the stone statue had slightly affected his mind, and he almost succumbed to it.
"I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the number of stone figures is even smaller than before."
Standing atop a shattered stone golem, Kana frowned, her brows slightly raised, her eyes sweeping across the surrounding battlefield.
The three extraordinary beings attacked together, and the stone man was no match for them, being utterly destroyed by the three.
The ruins were littered with rubble. While the stone figures were being cleared away, the three of them searched for the entrance to the ruins.
For some reason, the Stone Legion, which had once caused headaches for the three major duchies, now numbers less than one-tenth of its former size.
Perhaps, according to the oracle, this is the best opportunity to seize the Titan's Armor!
"here!"
The paladin unleashed a sword aura that swept across a large area of ruins, revealing the faded blood patterns beneath.
This is the entrance that was activated by the old lich and his party, who used the blood of the giant royal family to irrigate it.
Kana's eyes lit up. Holding a scroll sealed with divine magic, platinum-gold light surged out, condensing into a beam of light that struck the spot.
Divine power is eroding the gate leading to the core of the ruins.
"Lord Haddad, what kind of Lonely Mountain did you mention?"
As the power of the divine magic slowly seeped in, Kana turned to Haddad and asked in confusion.
This ruin holds many secrets, and even involves dwarves.
"Lonely Mountain is considered a sacred site by the Dwarf Kingdom. It contains abundant gold resources and was once mined by the Dwarf King to a depth of thousands of meters. Its current wealth is among the greatest in the Central Plains."
Facing the bishop who was favored by the true god, Haddad naturally told him the information he knew.
"It can produce resources on its own, and has everything from gold and silver to agate and jade. It is a treasure trove of minerals and once brought prosperity and wealth to the dwarf kingdom."
"Doesn't that mean that if you own Lonely Mountain, you'll have endless wealth?"
Kana exclaimed in surprise, noting that the Harvest Divine Court had very few records of such secrets, unlike the Duchy that had been stationed in the North for a thousand years, which had analyzed the giant race's documents and searched for various historical truths.
"That's true, but as it turns out, what seems like endless wealth is actually a curse that destroys a nation."
Haddad shook his head. He glanced at the gold and silver treasures left behind and his eyes gleamed. "I said before that the Dwarf King was blinded by the wealth of Lonely Mountain. In the end, the kingdom was conquered by giants, the people were enslaved by giants, and even the royal dwarves were exiled to forge giant weapons."
"The allure of wealth can indirectly destroy a kingdom. The ruins we see today actually contain elements of the dwarf kingdom."
Glancing at Kana's curious expression, Haddad hesitated for a moment before saying, "The guardian beasts of the Giant City Ruins are all formed from the greed of living beings for money and jewels, so they cannot be killed or destroyed. After all, how can a person sever the greed in their heart?"
Upon hearing this, the paladin standing to the side seemed to be deep in thought.
"So, it's because we were greedy that we couldn't kill those monsters... I see."
Kana suddenly realized that her pure and elegant appearance made Haddad glance at her a few more times.
Of course, this is to avoid misunderstandings. Bishops who believe in God must have a pure heart that is devoted to farming. If they are greedy for worldly wealth, it may cause the principality to become enemies with the divine court.
"Hiss!"
Like the sound of a gentle breeze, the land covered by divine magic was corroded, creating a large hole. The three immediately set off and entered the ruins inside.
...
"Bang!"
The crystal wall crumbled into a whirlwind, sparkling and dazzling, carrying up huge piles of gold and silver treasures and flying towards the center of the altar.
Beside the altar, a three-legged toad opened its huge mouth and swallowed a large pile of wealth in one gulp. Its small belly showed no signs of swelling. This large meal made it croak happily, making one want to kick it.
All around, the gourd vines spread wildly and took root in the ground. Xiao Han pricked up his fox ears and was entangled by the gourd vines as a torrent of information flowed into his body.
The skill tree not only grants skills, but also allows you to gain free energy factors.
A little girl who had changed into a coat stared in astonishment at the scene, her fair and adorable face filled with a look of utter disbelief.
She shook her head, squatted down, hugged her head, and looked completely bewildered, having no idea what she was going to do.
Because of the old lich, she was brought here by Xiao Han to join forces and harm the old lich and his group.
"A feeling of disgust."
Minnie stood up, swung her arms, her delicate figure revealing a powerful burst of strength.
She possesses one-third of the Demon King's bloodline, and after fully mastering it, she leaped to a higher level, displaying astonishing potential.
It could be said that she could wrestle with a young dragon, withstand a dragon's breath and survive, and arm wrestle with a little fox for half a day without even panting.
