A white figure suddenly appeared among the giants. Strangely, the giants showed no hostility towards this person; instead, they displayed an attitude of great respect.
In contrast to the blood and corpses scattered around, such respect felt oddly out of place.
However, Wang Long and his companions were more concerned about the identity of this person in white. Clearly, he was not one of the Giant Clan, so why did the giants treat him with such deference?
"How did you all end up here? Where is Lord Rada?"
"Sir, Lord Rada sent us here. He, heh heh heh, has his eyes on a beautiful woman and is currently enjoying himself by Aran Lake. We didn’t dare to interrupt."
"Hmph! Did you come here on behalf of the Giant Spirit God just to do this? Go find him immediately. I will give him half a stick of incense's time. If he does not appear before me by then, this operation will be canceled! You can figure out how to appease the Giant Spirit God's anger yourselves!"
"No, no, please, sir." The man in white was evidently very familiar with the Giant Clan. Just a few words were enough to frighten these brutal giants into submission, leaving them with no thoughts of resistance. "It’s our fault for being careless. We will go find Rada right away. Please wait here for a moment."
Now Wang Long and Jiang Xue were in no hurry to take action.
It was clear that this man in white had some sort of cooperative relationship with the Giant Clan, and he must possess some key element of that cooperation to command such respect from the Giant Spirit God. Otherwise, these giants would not genuinely believe they could be punished by the Giant Spirit God just because of his words.
Wang Long and his companions understood that "Rada" was a typical general within the Giant Clan. His ability to summon someone of that rank further confirmed their suspicions.
What kind of cooperation did they have?
Before long, a giant much larger than those Wang Long and his companions had encountered earlier approached with heavy steps. Upon seeing the man in white, he clearly displayed an unwilling expression.
"Sir!"
He greeted with a voice filled with irritation.
"Ah, Lord Rada, you seem quite at ease! Off playing with women while your subordinates are here causing chaos! With all this bloodshed, are you afraid we won’t be noticed by others?"
Wang Long and Jiang Xue felt a chill; it seemed the man in white was quite alert and they needed to be cautious.
"Uh, this is our Giant Clan's territory; who would come here? You needn't worry too much," Rada said as he glanced at the blood-soaked ground, surprised that his subordinates had created such a mess. However, he quickly regained his composure; to him, it wasn’t a big deal.
"Hmph!" The man in white was clearly angered but restrained himself due to their cooperative relationship rather than being subordinate. "Lord Rada, my companions have already gathered information over there. Let’s set off immediately; there will be things we need your help with later. Even if you have strength without purpose, there will be no shortage of outlets for it!"
After speaking, he couldn't be bothered to deal with this group of brainless fellows and directly leaped forward to lead the way.
"Lord Rada, this kid is so arrogant!" Seeing this scene, the giants thought that the white-clad man had been subdued by their Lord Rada, which is why he didn't dare to say much. One by one, they crowded around, trying to curry favor.
"That's right! When you weren't here, Lord Rada, he said quite a few bad things about you!"
Initially, these youngsters had caused such a commotion that even he felt a bit displeased and wanted to scold them. But now, flattered by these words, he felt elated: "Hmph, of course! Just look at who we are. If this kid cooperates obediently with us, that's fine. But if he makes any moves or keeps babbling, just watch how I deal with him!"
"Indeed, indeed."
Wang Long and Jiang Xue did not rush to catch up. The movements of these giants were simply too loud. Even from a distance, they wouldn't lose track of them, not to mention the chaos they caused while running along the way.
Trees toppled and birds startled.
Wang Long and Jiang Xue truly doubted how their Giant Clan had survived during the war between gods and demons. Such characteristics made it impossible for them to conceal their tracks; they couldn't launch any surprise attacks nor hide the movements of their army. Wang Long realized that once they encountered opponents like the Yin Ghost Clan, they would surely be played with until they collapsed on their own.
The place they were heading to wasn't far. After following them for half a day, Wang Long and Jiang Xue saw them come to a stop. This area seemed to be even deeper into the Giant Clan's territory; the surrounding trees were larger and thicker than before. Even these giants could no longer charge straight through on the ground and had to clumsily fly in mid-air.
However, there were more giants gathered here, and the white-clad man's companions also appeared. They stood in a circle holding swords, all dressed in white. The only difference from the previous white-clad man was that their belts were black instead of his purple-gold one.
"Rada, look at the giants already gathered around here. Are these all your subordinates? If your people are all here, we can head directly into the valley now."
Wang Long and Jiang Xue were left speechless.
It turned out that his subordinates had arrived before him; instead, he—the commander—had brought his small team last!
At the same time, they were shocked.
When they previously encountered those giants, fortunately, they suppressed their displeasure and didn't kill them; otherwise, if they counted heads now, they would immediately notice some giants were missing. If that raised their alertness, it might lead to discovering that outsiders had infiltrated here.
"We're not missing anyone! No need to count," the giant Rada waved his hand dismissively and said nonchalantly. "Even if a couple fell behind, it's probably because they got too caught up in something. With us here, we have enough people to complete your mission and give you adults an explanation!"
The white-clad man frowned again but was unwilling to create conflict over such trivial matters at this moment. He coldly nodded and led the way into the valley.
Wang Long and Jiang Xue watched as the giants and the man in white walked directly into the Valley, where not even a single guard was present. They felt uncertain in their hearts.
The leader of the man in white did not seem like someone who acted without thought. Even though this was the territory of the Giant Clan, they should not make such a low-level mistake.
"Wang Long, should we go in?"
Wang Long pondered for a moment and calmly asked, "Did we leave our markers on the way here?"
"Don't worry, they will definitely be able to follow the markers to find us."
"Alright, then let's leave a ring marker here. You wait here while I scout ahead."
Jiang Xue disagreed, "As the leader, it doesn't make sense for you to take this risk. You should stay here while I scout ahead. If they have set up an Illusion Array, that is my specialty."
Wang Long chuckled, "That's true, I am indeed a leader, but I am also a man. What kind of man stays in a safe place while letting his woman take risks? This time you don't need to argue with me. Besides, I just used Spirit to scout and didn't detect any Spiritual Energy Fluctuation. I feel that their boldness in entering is not because they have set up any powerful traps at the valley's entrance, but rather because they are not worried about being followed. I suspect that the real mystery lies within the Valley itself. In any case, your Shen Walking Dragon Technique won't be of much use here. Wait here and keep your distance; only follow when you see that I am safe."
After saying this, Wang Long did not wait for Jiang Xue to argue further and charged ahead into the Valley.
