They were all men in full armor!
He jolted awake and quickly got up, kneeling down covered in mud, head bowed, not daring to utter a sound.
The crowd quickly parted, and the king, dressed in gold-trimmed armor, walked over.
“Commoners, stand up and speak.” His voice was deep and resonant, full of authority but not oppressive.
Jack stood up shakily, head bowed, not daring to look the king in the eye.
He had never stood so close to someone of such status before.
The king said, "Commoner, my princess has disappeared. We tracked her down to your house. Now it seems she vanished along with your house, but this...thing has appeared instead. So, can you explain this to me?"
Jack followed the king's gaze and saw the pea shoot soaring into the clouds. He immediately recalled yesterday's experience: first the excitement of seeing the princess, then the terror of almost falling to his death when the house went up into the sky.
He stammered out his account of what happened last night, not daring to hide a single word.
The king's heart sank. Was the legend about their ancestors true?!
That day, he was reminded of the fear of being dominated by giants.
What to do now? Cut down this giant bean sprout to prevent future problems?
As a result, the executioner tested the feel of the axe, and with one blow, he only left a shallow mark.
Looking at the massive saplings that would take more than a dozen people to encircle, the king's heart sank to the bottom.
Back then, Eric's ancestor had 60 people working in three shifts, day and night, chopping with magical axes for a week before they could cut down the bean sprouts!
These days, even magic axes are hard to find!
Besides, his beloved daughter is still in heaven.
The king immediately organized a rescue effort, and warriors were summoned from across the country.
And so, Hospital Knight Abaddon, Monster Hunter Damian, Jack who volunteered to atone for his sins, the Royal Guard Captain and Earl Lauder who ran away from his marriage, all climbed up the bean sprouts with their men.
……
Zhao Hao was not idle in the sky.
In that day, they had already circled the giant's castle, covering an area of several miles around it.
More than a dozen places similar to those used for raising cattle, sheep and pigs were discovered. Some places were guarded by one giant, and some places were guarded by two giants.
Zhao Hao showed no mercy and killed them all.
Eight giants, who gave over six hundred Fate Points.
At first, Zhao Hao was overjoyed, but then he did the math and realized something was wrong. One giant is over a hundred, eight giants are over six hundred, do you think I can't count?
He assumed that the fate points given by the giants were different, some high and some low, reflecting the diversity of the world. However, upon checking his adventure diary, he discovered something was amiss.
Although there are differences between individuals, the general trend is that the more giants are killed later in the story, the fewer fate points are given.
Why do the first few Titans killed have the greatest impact on fate? Why does the impact diminish as more Titans die later in the game?
Does even giants experience inflation?
Zhao Hao couldn't understand it.
He wanted to go inside that enormous castle.
The current situation is that there are restrictions on how to get high scores, so the only option is to try and acquire treasures.
That's right, Zhao Hao was certain that the giant possessed a treasure.
There are probably more than two hundred giants in the castle, and they simply cannot survive on livestock raised by that number alone.
Considering that the giants in various versions of the story are all very rich and have many good things, Zhao Hao guessed that the giants' food source must be problematic.
He infiltrated the castle at night. That's the same both in the sky and on earth.
He was dressed in all black, including a black face mask, looking very professional.
The castle was built on a low hill, and it was incredibly tall, indeed suitable for giants to live in.
As Zhao Hao got closer, he realized that the castle was somewhat old and dilapidated, but upon closer inspection, there were still many remnants of magnificent and exquisite decorative reliefs.
It has the style of a luxurious and grand castle, with meticulous attention to detail.
Then think of that filthy, stupid giant now, like a huge, deformed savage. One can only say that their ancestors were once wealthy!
The castle gates were closed, but that didn't matter; Zhao Hao could squeeze through the cracks in the dilapidated gates.
Once inside, the first thing you see is its size.
The floor tiles underfoot were also large, each a full ten meters square!
The distant beams and pillars resemble tall buildings; you have to look up to see the top.
Those dilapidated tables and chairs were so worn that Zhao Hao would have to climb five or six meters up the table legs to get to them.
The corner was piled with ridiculously large amounts of junk and trash.
Orange, standing to the side, also stared wide-eyed: "What a huge rat!"
Zhao Hao turned his head and sure enough, there was a rat the size of a fat pig perched on a roof beam above him, staring at them menacingly, its mouth watering!
Orange has never suffered such an injustice in her life!
Do you know how much harm a mouse can cause a kitten when it stares at you and drools? .JPG!
Without a word, Orange leaped several meters into the air, rushed onto the pillar, and climbed upwards at lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, he was on the beam above his head.
The big rat wasn't afraid at all; it actually bared its teeth and went to meet it.
After all, in terms of body size, the Orange constellation doesn't have much of an advantage.
Seeing that a major battle was about to break out, Zhao Hao quickly led Xiao Ruan, Wang Cai, Ao Wu, and the mud puppet to hide.
Sure enough, the cat-and-mouse battle was quite a commotion, even shaking the dust off the roof beams.
Orange quickly gained the upper hand, wielding a salted fish spear and a money-grabbing hook, chasing after the giant rat like a dual-wielding warrior and unleashing a barrage of attacks.
Zhao Hao followed under the roof beam, and soon they arrived at a place filled with meat hooks, fire pits, and stoves.
That big black pot can stew twenty people at once!
Just then, a muffled roar rang out: "Damn it, you wretched rat!"
A piece of firewood, as thick as Zhao Hao's thigh, was thrown into the air and landed on the beam.
Following closely behind was a hunched, old, and unkempt bald giant wearing a large, stained apron.
He still looks sleepy.
At this moment, Orange also dealt with the big rat, throwing it off the roof beam.
With a "thud," the dead rat fell at the old giant's feet. He was startled at first, then chuckled.
Looking around to make sure no one was watching, he quickly picked it up and took it to the still-burning fire in the stove to light it.
Considering the surrounding environment, this old giant is actually a chef!
Giants are ranked, and the giants herding livestock outside the castle are the lowest rank, and they can't even speak clearly.
They guarded the cattle and sheep but dared not steal any.
It's obvious that this old giant is smarter and more cunning. He even knows how to hog food.
Just then, a footstep sounded—the footsteps of a giant.
Another young giant with a round face, high cheekbones, and a stronger build walked in.
He sniffed around suspiciously, then grabbed the guilty old giant: "Old man, are you hiding something?"
The giant chef chuckled and spread his hands, revealing a half-cooked rat.
“Frmm, forgive me,” he pleaded.
The young giant, Fum, grabbed the giant rat and said, "Here you go!" He opened his mouth to eat it.
After thinking about it, he tore off half of it and threw it back into the chef giant's hands.
The old giant quickly downed his drink in one gulp, then beamed and bowed as he saw Nafm off from the kitchen.
Zhao Hao watched in the corner, finding it strange; he hadn't expected that the Giant Society would be so difficult to deal with.
He dispatched a large number of insect scouts to search for any possible treasure...
Meanwhile, the princess, still shaken, who had been carried to the sky by the bean sprouts and the wooden house, shakily descended.
She saw the land in the clouds, remembered the stories passed down in her family, and realized the seriousness of the problem.
Not daring to wait in place, fearing that the legendary man-eating giant would come looking for them, they hurriedly ran away in a panic.
She was lucky; Zhao Hao had killed and eaten all the extraordinary creatures and wild beasts nearby. Otherwise, she would have been dead not far away.
While running around aimlessly, she accidentally bumped into Zhao Hao's barrier and discovered Zhao Hao's cave shelter!
Zhao Hao's barrier's main function was to conceal illusions, but it had no protective capabilities.
The princess saw signs of habitation, and more importantly, there were dry clothes and food!
Without a second thought, she changed out of her wet clothes, ate something, and finally fell asleep on a bed...

Chapter 202 Secret Heavenly Soup
There were fewer than fifty giants in the castle. Apart from a few service staff who were clearly similar to the giant chefs in the row, the rest were all strong and robust giant warriors.
The most obvious thing is that they all have worn-out and simple armor and weapons.
Under the cover of night, Zhao Hao quietly approached a sleeping giant warrior.
The snoring sound was as loud as a train entering a tunnel.
Zhao Hao took out a specially made device, a sphere about one meter in diameter riddled with holes. This was Zhao Hao's specially made puppet device, capable of remotely launching hundreds of sharp spikes.
Zhao Hao used the shrinking lamp to shrink it to the size of a fist, and then had Ao Wu carry it into the giant's ear...
"Hmm? Uh, oh~" The giant seemed to feel an itch in his ear, so he stretched out his thick finger and casually picked at it, then rolled over and lay on his side, pressing down on his ear.
Zhao Hao and Ju Zuo stared at each other, dumbfounded.
