The huge towering building stood quietly in the frozen dusk, with no sound around, as if it was just an oil painting.

Walking through such an environment, Derrick Berg was even more nervous than exploring other places in the depths of darkness, and the hairs on his back stood up.

After entering the place shrouded in dusk, the entire exploration team, including Chief Colin Iliad and the "Shepherd" Elder Lovia, inevitably became exhausted and decadent, as if they had entered the last years of their lives. As they moved forward, the number of rotten giants roaming the road or rushing out of different buildings increased, and they became stronger and stronger.

As one side was weakened and the other side was strengthened, it became difficult to move forward. After several fierce battles, the Silver City exploration team finally broke through the "blockade" and "interception" of those monsters and came to an extremely quiet area with no sound at all, which made people's scalps tingle.

In response to this, Demon Hunter Colin Iliad had to break the silence and remind:

"This means that we have truly entered the Giant King's Court and are about to approach the core. The danger level will only increase, not decrease."

After hearing this, a small number of exploration team members became shaken due to the influence of "Dusk". In their opinion, although they did not dare to stay for most of the previous stage for fear of being surrounded by the rotten giants, they finally cleared out all the monsters in a small area and had a chance to rest and adjust for a while. They obtained a lot of extraordinary properties, magical materials and potion formulas. It can be said that this exploration has yielded enough results and there is no need to go deeper. The most important thing to do now is to find suitable buildings and establish a forward camp to prepare for the second exploration.

Faced with such a proposal, Colin Iliad did not say much, but only emphasized that the purpose of this exploration was to find out as much as possible about the general situation of the "Giant King's Court" and accumulate sufficient information for subsequent actions.

Then, he asked a team member named Antina to "calm" those whose wills were wavering.

Since the "Shepherd" elder Lovia also supported the Chief, the small number of exploration team members quickly adjusted their mindsets and followed the Chief quietly forward.

After a while, they saw a huge stone staircase. It was grayish white in color, but stained with orange light. It was both gorgeous and silent.

Each level of the stairs is relatively high. If it were a normal human, it would definitely be very difficult to walk up. Fortunately, the shortest elder in the exploration team, Elder Lovia, is nearly 1.9 meters tall and can control strong winds.

Above the huge staircase is a city wall that is so majestic that one has to look up to see the top. There are many signs of damage and burning on it. In some places, there are arrows as thick as ordinary trees and several meters long stuck in it, causing some stones to collapse.

In the middle of the city wall is a double-door gate that is several dozen meters high. Its color is more gray-blue, and it is inlaid with golden nails. There are two guards standing outside, and the mere sight of them can create a strong sense of oppression.

They were five or six meters tall, wearing exquisite and sturdy silver full body armor. One of them held a big sword, and the other one hammered a huge axe into the ground. There was a ball of orange-red light behind their visors, like a single eye.

"Silver Knight... Demon Hunter" Colin raised his right hand, held the straight sword horizontally, and blocked the members of the exploration team behind him.

He had already pulled out the two straight swords on his back and coated them with different medicines.

Silver Knight... Derrick Berg's eyelids twitched slightly and his heart began to palpitate.

He had recently come across some intelligence from the Chief that only the top brass could know. He learned that Sequence 3 of the "Giant" pathway was called "Silver Knight" and that the City of Silver lacked the correct potion formula but had the corresponding Beyonder characteristics.

What surprised and horrified Derrick was that the gatekeepers of the core part of the Giant King's Court were actually two Sequence 3 demigods, which was one level higher than the strongest combat force in the City of Silver!

And this is just the gate area of ​​the royal court. If you go deeper, there is no telling what you will encounter.

After the shock, Derrick could not help but feel a certain anticipation:

Perhaps, in the "Giant King's Court", the potion formula after the "Giant" path sequence 4 can be found.

In that case, the Chief will have the possibility to become a "Silver Knight", greatly enhancing the strength of the City of Silver. At that time, he will be able to further explore the "Giant King's Court", find more potion formulas, hunt more monsters, and gain more and higher-level extraordinary characteristics and magical materials.

Subconsciously, Derrick glanced around and found that the reactions of Joshua, Haim, Antina and other members of the exploration team were basically the same as his own. They were nervous and fearful, but also had some hope.

At this time, the Shepherd Elder Lovia took two steps forward and stood side by side with Colin Iliad. She looked up at the gray-blue door and the two Silver Knights who were in an unknown state and said:

"If there's only one, we have a chance to fix it."

What she really meant was that there are now two "Silver Knights". Even if we are willing to suffer huge casualties, we have no way to eliminate the enemy. After all, even if the Chief can control the form of mythical creatures and can normally fight against Sequence 3, the environment here does not allow him to make a similar attempt. The shroud of dusk has brought decay, and what was previously bearable may not be bearable now.

Colin Iliad nodded, looked at Lovia and Derrick Berg respectively, observed the front for a while and said:

"At present, it seems that as long as we don't get close to that gate, the two guards will not attack us."

"Perhaps we can try to lure one of the 'Silver Knights' away and clean it up separately?" The female warrior named Antina made a suggestion after careful consideration.

She has medium-length burgundy hair and her facial features are not delicate, but when put together, they are extremely elegant and bright.

In this exploration mission, her main task is to rely on a sealed object in her control to heal the psychological problems of the team members and fight against enemies with spiritual abilities.

Antirna's specific idea was that she and other members would lure away one of the "Silver Knights" and deal with the situation by relying on the terrain and coordination, while the Chief and Elder Lovia would work together to deal with the remaining one and try to resolve it as soon as possible.

This is the textbook way of dealing with similar situations encountered by Silver City.

"Even if there is only one 'Silver Knight', it will be difficult, and there is no guarantee that the 'Silver Knight' you lead away will not directly reveal the form of a mythical creature. Demon Hunter," Colin calmly rejected Antirna's suggestion.

Not to mention that the "Silver Knight" itself has powerful extraordinary abilities. As long as it reveals the form of a mythical creature, most members of the Silver City exploration team will not be able to look directly at it and will be affected, making it impossible for them to deal with it.

Without waiting for the other team members to speak, Colin Iliad looked back and said:

“Take another route.

"Derrick found some information in the reflection world of Afternoon Town, which recorded a passage in the rear area of ​​the 'Giant King's Court'."

The Shepherd Elder Lovia then turned her gaze towards Derrick Berg, indifferent and calm, without any emotion.

Derrick subconsciously raised the "Darkless Cross" in his hand a little higher, suppressing the indescribable trembling.

"Okay." Lovia agreed with Colin Iliad's proposal.

So the exploration team exited the huge stone staircase and went around to the left.

Before long, they saw a rugged path with a towering cliff on the right and clouds with the light of dusk that were so low that they could not see the bottom on the left.

Of course, the path is only relatively spacious for the giants. It is still relatively spacious for the members of the Silver City Exploration Team.

As they moved forward step by step, Derrick and the others were inspired at the same time and subconsciously looked to the side.

At the edge of the cliff, gray-blue swollen hands stretched out from the orange-red clouds and grabbed there. They were so dense that it was difficult to count them.

If these were all giants, even if they were only Sequence 7 or Sequence 6 giants, relying on this number, they would be enough to destroy the Silver City exploration team here.

Colin Iliad was about to swing the straight sword in his hand, but Derrick suddenly had some subtle feelings. He raised the "Darkless Cross" in his hand a little higher and pressed a finger on a thorn, oozing bright red blood.

The dusk light emitted by the Pure Cross suddenly became brighter, as if it had returned to noon. It rushed to the edge of the cliff and enveloped the gray-blue giants who were trying to climb up.

These giants solidified there at the same time, their bodies faded away bit by bit, and quickly disappeared.

They are not real giants, but the ghosts of the giants who died tragically, so the "Darkless Cross" was able to sense them.

It is a holy seal from the "Sun" realm and the nemesis of resentful souls, shadows and evil spirits.

After easily getting rid of these monsters, the Silver City Exploration Team continued to move forward vigilantly. After a while, they finally bypassed the mountain walls and cliffs and saw a gloomy forest.

The trees in that forest were dozens of meters tall and extremely sturdy, but their bark was peeling, their trunks were rotten, and their branches and leaves were withered, giving people an intuitive feeling of decay.

Those branches and leaves should have been tangled together, forming a cover in mid-air, blocking the light of dusk and making the interior dim. However, at this time, due to the collapse and breakage of a large number of trees, the orange-red light has spread to most of the places visible to the naked eye inside the forest.

"This is the 'Decaying Forest' where the ancestors of the giants, the parents of the giant king, are buried." Derrick looked ahead, silently calculated how long he could use the "Darkless Cross" and spoke to the chief and his teammates.

Colin Iliad stared at the forest for a while and said:

"It has been destroyed. Even if there is any remaining danger, it will not be too strong. We can try to explore it."

"Yes, Your Excellency." Derrick responded without hesitation, "My cross can withstand the environment here. I will go ahead."

He remembered that Mr. World had reminded him that there might be some kind of pollution hidden in the forest, and the No Dark Cross could provide an effective early warning.

Colin, with gray hair, nodded slightly and said:

"Be careful around you."

Derrick took a silent breath, took a big step, and walked towards the "Decay Forest".

At the same time, taking advantage of the convenience of walking in front, he quietly recited the honorific name of Mr. Fool.

Then, Klein, whose vision was obscured by the dusk and who had been offline for a while, was finally able to see the specific situation, but he was unable to expand his field of vision too far.
