Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

Only Wu Zhan, Liu Nian, and a few others who had mounts could barely see the giant's figure.

The rubble and ice blocks that had been blasted down and blocked the entrance were simply smashed away by the giant with brute force!

When the players of the Dragon Abyss Guild followed three frost giants, who resembled primordial beasts, out of the tunnel and back onto the battlefield, the scene before them was awe-inspiring.

The already noisy battlefield became even noisier the moment three adult frost giants appeared.

"It's a huge, adult monster! Run!"

"Damn it! Who let them out?"

"It must be those human scum!!"

"So they went to spy on us and ruin our plans!"

"Retreat! Everyone retreat!"

A chorus of terrified screams erupted from the goblin players.

The goblin army, which had been so aggressive just moments before, crumbled instantly!

Those piloting logging machines, those riding salamanders and dromaeosaurids turned tail and fled, while rotorcraft pulled up and disappeared into the distance without looking back... It was a complete rout in the blink of an eye.

Their escape was so decisive, so orderly, without the slightest resistance, as if they had rehearsed it countless times...

"Damn scum!!"

The roars of the giants thundered, and the three frost giants attacked in anger.

Bram roared and swung his battle axe, unleashing a massive frost slash that cleaved several lumberjacks that hadn't managed to escape, along with the goblins inside, into pieces!

Aislin swung her staff, and a rain of ice spikes crashed down on the fleeing goblin team, causing widespread slowing and damage!

"ah!!"

"not good……"

"Whoa... I'm dead..."

"My plane, oh no!!"

……

The goblin players let out all sorts of pitiful screams, but none of their companions turned back; instead, they ran even faster... In the blink of an eye, all the goblins seemed to have never existed.

The goblins fled, and the crisis was resolved in the blink of an eye.

Ymir cast a powerful healing spell on the three young giants. Under the warm, icy blue light, the young giants' injuries healed at a visible speed.

The three frightened young giants ran back to the adult giants, letting out soft, aggrieved whimpers.

Ymir comforted the children, then his massive body turned toward Wu Zhan, Liu Nian, and the others.

"Brave friends, on behalf of the tribe, I thank you for your kindness. Please accept this as a token of my gratitude!"

The giant bent down and stretched out his huge hand. A badge of ice and snow, which seemed to have wind and snow flowing inside, slowly floated down in front of Wu Zhan.

【Name: Ymir's Ice Beacon】

[Type: Special Item (Consumable)]

[Quality: Legendary]

[Effect: Can be used at any location to summon a Frost Portal. Frost Giant Elder Ymir, Warrior Bram, and Ice Summoner Aislin will arrive through the portal to fight for you. The beacon disappears after use.]

Wu Zhan received the beacon, his heart filled with excitement.

This stuff is great!

Whether it's clearing out the high-level monsters of Ascalon in the future or dealing with the crisis of the war between the six races, the help of these three giants is crucial.

Looking at the three NPCs, Liu Nian couldn't help but recall his earlier thought: "If only I could also fool these big guys... no, I mean invite them to live permanently in the future Dragon City and become the city's guardians..."

At this moment, the system time indicated that night had arrived, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Zhan suggested that he rest for the night in the giant's tribe.

Ymir readily agreed: "Human warriors, the Frost Tribe welcomes you to rest here."

"Thank you for taking me in!"

With Elder Ymir's permission, the members of the Dragon Abyss Guild, filled with curiosity and awe, stepped into this tribe forged from ice and snow.

Everyone felt it strongly, especially those who had been to Prince City of Gear Heart before.

If the Gearheart Prince's City of the Dwarves is a "Lilliputian Kingdom" filled with intricate gears, clockwork, steam pipes, and shimmering arcane light, then this Frost Giant tribe before us is a primitive and magnificent ice village magnified ten times.

Everything is too big.

They walked on the ice path trodden by the giants, feeling that everything was incredibly large. The entrance to the igloo was as tall as a tunnel, and from inside came the deep breathing and snoring of the giants, like the sound of wind in a cave.

Those rugged ice crystal totem poles require several people to encircle them. The ancient reliefs on them appear even more weathered and mysterious when viewed up close, telling an epic story of giants battling glaciers and ancient monsters.

The air was filled with a polar freshness and coldness, along with a faint, peculiar scent reminiscent of a mixture of permafrost and some kind of pine resin.

The [Eternal Ice Cores] placed throughout the tribe emitted a stable, pale blue light that was not dazzling, yet enveloped the entire tribe in a tranquil and cold atmosphere.

They were led to a plaza in the center of the tribe, where several giants were not resting but were engaged in their own activities.

A female giant named [Ice Whisperer Herok LV.98 (Elite)] was sitting behind a "counter" carved from a single block of ice. In front of her were some items radiating powerful energy fluctuations—this was the giant tribe's "shop".

The guild members all curiously crowded forward, but the counter was so tall that they could only crane their necks to look up.

Herok's voice was crisp and cold, like the clash of ice and snow: "Insignificant ones, Herok has the tribe's treasures here. Thank you for helping the children. You are welcome to look around."

After saying that, they somehow cast a spell, and suddenly everyone saw the items for sale on the interface in front of them:

[Mythical Essence]: These crystals, shimmering with seven-colored light, are essential raw materials for forging powerful equipment!

【Ancient War Totem Pole - Glacier Trial】: Placing this totem pole in the center of a player's city will activate a level 100 team dungeon called 【Glacier Trial】 that is exclusive to that city. Players can challenge the ancient battlefield of giants once every 24 hours, which yields ice-type equipment and materials.

【War Skill - Glacier Path: Mythical quality war skill, requires multiple players to guide, can create a large area of ​​frozen land on the battlefield, greatly restricting the movement of enemy troops.

【Frosty Earth Dragon】: Mount, a majestic dragon-like beast covered in thick ice armor.

【Mammoth Bone】: A high-level material used to forge the keel of warships.

【Polar Fur】: A high-level material for sewing mythical-level or higher ice-type robes.

……

There are so many great things!

The problem is that, apart from mythical essences and materials, other items either require a certain city level or a certain player level or special permissions, which they simply cannot use right now.

Wu Zhan looked at the Mythical Essences and felt that the price was acceptable and affordable, so he used guild funds to buy some.

Old Chen wandered around somewhere and somehow found a giant [Scholar Grom LV.99 (Elite)] grinding the roots of some kind of ice-blue plant.

After some conversation, I learned that this giant was actually a master of biology!

Old Chen found Wu Zhan and paid a tuition fee. Grom stretched out his huge finger, and a point of ice-blue light gathered at the tip of his finger, which he gently touched on Old Chen's forehead.

[System Notification: You have received guidance from the Frost Giant Scholar Grom, and your [Biology] level has been raised to LV.5!]

Old Chen was very surprised because he had always learned skills by buying skill books and learning little by little. He never expected that he could learn directly from NPCs here!

Biology level 3 was enough, but now it's level 5. With the Mythical Essence bought from Wuzhan, and all the materials ready, Old Chen immediately found a corner to start learning the Legendary Equipment Forging Blueprint. Before long, he took out his Legendary Iron Hammer and forging tools and began forging [Dark Swiftness].
