You have to get closer to see...

 "Let's go and say hello."

 Xing Mo walked straight forward and came in front of the four-meter giant.

 "Hello, can you please show me your weapon?"

 The four-meter-tall giant looked around for a long time but couldn't hear where the sound came from. It was not until he lowered his head that he saw a tiny star foam.

 "Stranger?" he muttered, crouching down. "Let me show you my weapon. Can you catch it?"

 "Yeah, it looks heavy..." Xing Mo nodded, then pointed to the empty space beside him, "Could you please put the weapon over there?"

 For a moment, all the giants on the field looked over, most of them looked surprised, and a few whispered to each other.

 Obviously, they had not seen many outsiders.

 "This stranger is like a doll..." Xingmo heard someone whispering.

 The four-meter-tall giant was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter:

 "Hahaha, outsider

 If you want the residents of Stone Nest to lay down their weapons, there is only one way!"

 "Let me guess, do I have to defeat you?" Xing Mo tilted his head.

 This made the four-meter-tall giant slightly stunned, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly before he nodded:

 "Yes, you have to defeat me. After that, I can even give you this weapon. That's your ability!"

 Wow, you’re such a nice guy, you even gave me weapons as a gift.

 Then let's fight, it shouldn't be difficult anyway... Xingmo nodded seriously at the giant:

 "Then let's fight. Are there any rules?"

 As soon as he finished speaking, the giants burst into laughter.

 "Hahahaha, outsider, are you really planning to duel with me?" The four-meter-tall giant laughed non-stop. "With your physique, one strike of my sword would turn you into blood foam!"

 The giants laughed louder and louder, as if it was ridiculous for a little guy like Xingmo to propose a "duel".

 Until there was a "buzz" sound.

 The scorching flames flowed like sparks lighting up the night sky, bringing all the laughter to an abrupt halt.

 The four-meter-tall giant swallowed his saliva - he saw Xingmo holding a dagger as bright as the sun in his hand, with flames flowing on the sword body, like the fangs of a fire dragon.

 "Then... fight?" the four-meter-tall giant asked cautiously.

 Xing Mo nodded, took two steps back, holding the sword in one hand and the other hand behind his back.

 The four-meter-tall giant raised his giant sword, and a light blue light shone on the runes.

 All the giants watched this scene with bated breath: on one side was a tall giant, and on the other side was a doll-like girl, the height difference was exaggerated.

 But for some reason, they felt...

 ...It seems like the boss can’t win?

 Yes, the boss lost.

 "bass--"

 At the moment the four-meter giant launched an attack, Xing Mo lightly swung his sword, and a curved arc of flame fell on the giant sword.

 "clang--"

 "Pfft-"

 A corner of the rune giant sword was cut off. At the same time, the four-meter-tall giant twisted his foot and fell to the ground in a mess.

 He looked in horror at the girl who was still standing there - she didn't even move, but just swung her sword lightly and calmly.

 "Does this mean I win?" Xing Mo noticed the giant's gaze and tilted his head slightly.

 This...all the giants were stunned and didn't even dare to breathe.

 Outsiders...are they so scary?

 "You...you...you..." The four-meter giant pointed at Xingmo.

 "What? Are you not convinced?" Aurora put her hands on her hips. "Do you want to fight again?"

 "No more fighting, you win."

 The four-meter giant put down his weapon and squatted down with his head in his hands, looking frustrated.

 A four-meter-tall giant crouching with his head in his hands is quite scary.

 Xingmo walked to the giant, picked up the piece of debris cut from the rune giant sword from the ground, weighed it, and felt it was quite heavy.

 "Just give me this piece," Xing Mo raised her hand, "and you can keep the sword for yourself. I can't take it away from you."

 "well..."

 The giant looked up at Xingmo, then immediately looked away.

 This made Xingmo a little confused - why are you so scared? Are you really that timid?

 Just when Xingmo was feeling strange, a two-meter-tall giant came over.

 She had pigtails and was obviously a woman.

 "I'm so sorry, my son was naughty and didn't know you were Merlin's friend," the giantess smiled. "It would be an honor for him to fight with you."

 Everyone present was in an uproar: This guy is Merlin's friend? The Merlin who fought off the dragon alone?

 Xing Mo shook her head modestly and smiled:

 "It's ok."

 She hesitated for a moment, raised her head, and asked the giantess:

 "By the way, you said he was your child, so how old is he this year?"

 "Ah, my child is already three years old this year," the giantess smiled brightly. "He is a very strong child, isn't he?"

 Xingmo:?

 This is three years old! ! ? ?

 "Who would have thought that a giant's child would grow so fast..."

 Xingmo, with a frown on her face, walked on the street and sighed.

 She thought that the competition venue was where the giant army practiced.

 When she left, she saw clearly that the sign next to the venue read "Street Garden".

 This is where mothers bring their children to play.

 But who knows your child can be four meters tall at the age of three! And he is wearing armor and holding a rune sword!

 Who are you, kid? You've caused so much harm to others!

 "In the end, I became a bad guy who bullied kids..." Xing Mo was speechless.

 "Pfft..." Aurora laughed. "It's okay. As long as the goal is achieved, that's all that matters."

 Aurora was holding a fragment of the rune giant sword in her hand, and the surface of the fragment was covered with a faint glow.

 "What are the analysis results?" Chloe leaned over.

 "Hmm... the concentration of the supernatural substance in here is quite high, huh?" Aurora was a little surprised. "But it's not very pure. It must have been extracted directly from some supernatural creature."

 "Not very pure supernatural substances..." Xing Mo frowned, "Wouldn't that be very unstable?"

 Generally speaking, the extraordinary source materials used in ascension rituals or experimental purposes require extremely high purity.

 The higher the purity, the more stable it is, and it can eliminate some unexpected variables.

 This is why the processing of extraordinary substances requires an entire high-level alchemy workshop - because processing these things is very difficult.

 The knowledge behind this is so profound that it can be taught in a separate course at the Nefera Beta School of Magic.

 But now, the rune swords used by the giants contain a large amount of extraordinary substances with extremely high impurities.

 Not only is it impossible for such extraordinary substances to exert their effects stably, they also run the risk of getting out of control.

 "Since this is the work of Arcadia, the son of a craftsman, then this must be his intention..." Chloe frowned, "I think there's something fishy."

 It is indeed strange. Could it be that the giants' industry is not developed enough and they are forced to forge weapons in this way?

 Xing Mo nodded and said:

 "It's possible that it's simply due to industrial backwardness, but as an ancient kingdom, I don't believe that the civilization passed down from the Age of Gods to the present day has become so backward."

 Three thousand years have passed since the Age of Gods. During this long period of time, even humans have figured out a complete system of alchemy and forging.

 The Giants can't be so far behind...

 "In short, if the Stone Nest Legion's weapons were all provided by Arcadia, the Craftsman's Son, then we must be careful when we reach the Floating Island."

 After Xingmo finished speaking, she stopped and raised her head.

 Directly in front of her stood a huge tower with crooked writing in Giant language on it.

 All around, extraordinary giants in armor were entering the tower in an orderly manner. Most of them had solemn expressions, did not speak, and did not make any unnecessary movements.

 It looked like some kind of fully tuned machine.

 "We're here, the Winged Beast Station," Xingmo said, "This is the starting point for the Floating Island."

Chapter 297: Crazy Abyss (Part 3) -4k- (Two Updates in One)

 After entering the spire and walking down the spiral staircase, the group soon arrived at the floating platform.

 What came into view was the sky obscured by pale blue plants, and a faint white light appeared below, but it seemed extremely far away.

 There were winged beasts parked beside the platform. They were the same as the winged beasts flying in the royal court's airspace, with snake heads, lion bodies, eagle wings, and huge sizes.

 But the difference is that their body is covered with a layer of gray scales, and there is a faint layer of white light hidden between the scales. If it were not for the darkness of the vine forest, it might not be noticeable.

 "The extraordinary essence in these winged beasts is a bit too much," Aurora exclaimed. "Poor children, they are mutants."

 "Were these mutants artificially bred by the giants..." Xingmo muttered.

 No matter how you look at it, letting a healthy creature mutate into this... is still a bit cruel.

 At this moment, there was a deafening sound of footsteps, accompanied by a high-pitched voice:

 "Cruel? How do you define cruel?"

 Xingmo turned around and found that the person coming towards him was a giant about six or seven meters tall. His skin was white with a hint of bluish-gray, like moldy marble.

 The man who came was undoubtedly the warrior Minosk! Xingmo had seen him in the royal palace before!

 "Mr. Minosk," Xingmo smiled faintly, "What a coincidence?"

 "Unfortunately, I heard that Merlin's guests had come to the Stone Nest, so I came to take a look." Minosk squatted down, his eyes deep. "Do you know why we want to promote the mutation of these winged beasts?"

 "To resist the high temperature of the floating island?" Xing Mo guessed.

 Minosk raised his eyebrows slightly and said:

 "It seems that you are not heading to the floating island without any preparation, but have done the corresponding homework."

 "As you said, the floating island is close to the Earth's core, beneath the floating cloud layer, and unprotected. The core's fire string hazard will directly illuminate all who enter, and the damage will increase exponentially as you go deeper."

 "Under these conditions, even super-giants with simple protective gear need to be rotated every three days, or they will die from the contamination of the Fire String. A normal winged beast will become brain dead if exposed to the Earth's core radiation for half an hour, requiring decapitation."

 Hearing Minosk say this, Xingmo recalled the winged beast that came to pick her up - it only had two snake heads, and one of them was broken off.

 "In order to increase the survival rate of the winged beasts, the giants took the initiative to carry out extraordinary pollution on them," Minosk said, "This way, they can survive in such extreme environments."

 "Just like you?" Xingmo's gaze fell on Minosk's moldy marble-like skin.

 Hearing Xingmo say this, Minosk's mouth corners slightly raised:

 "Good eyesight, indeed. I was once a resident of the airspace. After entering the Stone Nest, I voluntarily accepted the extraordinary pollution and gradually mutated into my current appearance."

 "Are we doing this to adapt to the environment of the floating island?" Xing Mo asked.

 "No, it's to be no different from them."

 Minosk pointed behind him, and following his direction, Xingmo saw extraordinary giants lined up in an orderly manner and boarding the winged beasts.
