Please be my partner.

What made Melen a little frightened was that the weirdness between heaven and earth this time seemed to be even worse than yesterday, which also confirmed the statement that the fairy tale reversal would continue to intensify.

Looking at the kingdom once again plunged into smoke and destruction, Melen shook his head slightly and began to move towards the direction of the magic vine.

Soon, Melen arrived at the area where the magic vines were located. Due to the growth of the magic vines, all the buildings in this area were overturned by the vines extending from the ground, and many fairy tale characters were strangled to death by the vines.

This magic vine is dark green in color and twists its way up into the sky. Overall, it looks similar to the beanstalks in movies and TV dramas that Melen remembers.

But there are countless tiny leaves growing on the magic vine. From a distance, these leaves look like the fluff on some big insect and are constantly wriggling.

Whenever the wind blows, the leaves sway, and what you hear is not a comfortable "rustling" sound, but some strange hoarse cry, which is extremely creepy.

However, when Mellen stepped into the area of the magic vine, he could clearly feel the latter's closeness, although this closeness was a little...

Those tiny leaves continued to gather towards him, and even climbed up along his thighs, trying to wrap him completely!

The vines dragging the corpses also kept coming closer, hoping that he could enjoy the "delicious food" first.

For this reason, Melen could only speed up his pace to get rid of the "hospitality" of the magic vine.

Mellen: It’s too passionate. I can’t stand it. I can’t stand it at all!

Climbing up along the magic vine is quite easy for Melen now.

The magic vine was just more enthusiastic, but it didn't really stop him.

Soon, Mellen arrived at the cloud. Looking at the clouds that looked like marshmallows, he grabbed the magic vine with one hand and stepped on it tentatively.

Although it feels soft to the touch, it does give you a down-to-earth feeling.

Melen breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted the magic vine behind him to express his gratitude.

The magic vine immediately conveyed a happy emotion.

Chapter 124 Giant King’s Court

After bidding farewell to the magic vine that looked a little scary but was actually very cute, Melen walked towards the depths above the clouds.

He reached out and scooped off a piece of the cloud beneath his feet. It felt light and soft in his hand, but when he stayed still, the clouds slowly softened and turned into something like a sticky liquid, flowing out of his hand.

Mellen said to himself, "It feels a bit like a non-Newtonian fluid, but..."

He stomped his feet again, but apart from making the clouds under his feet more solid, there was no sign of them sinking.

Then he smiled silently. He had just been struggling with the scientific principles of the fairy tale world.

He shook his head slightly, no longer paying attention to these trivial matters, and started moving forward quickly.

Soon, there were some changes above the endless clouds, and there were even scattered traces of plants.

These plants, which look like ordinary grass, are not green, but completely black, a bit like charcoal after being burned by flames, but they are indeed living plants.

Melen had no intention of touching them, so he just walked around them when he saw them.

The further we go, the more of these dark plants we see, and gradually shrubs and some very tall trees appear.

The postures of these plants all have a terrifying feeling of baring fangs and claws, which looks particularly weird.

Shortly after the changes occurred, a place similar to a village appeared in front of Melen, except that the houses in this village were extremely tall.

Living inside is a group of giants that are ten meters tall, about forty or fifty in number.

These giants are all humanoid in form, but they are not proportionally enlarged humans. They seem to be taller and thinner, and their eyes are pure black without whites.

Combined with its huge size, it gives off a strong sense of oppression.

Normally it should be night now, and all the fairy tale characters in the fairy tale kingdom on the ground are in a state of reversal, but the giant in front of him does not seem to be affected by this and goes crazy. Instead, he is still working normally.

The giants seemed to be cultivating a place that could be called a field, and the clouds here were darker than elsewhere.

If the clouds that Melen first saw when he landed were white clouds in a clear sky, then after arriving near the village, the clouds here were like thicker clouds. Although they were not as bright and white as before, they were still pretty good. The clouds in the cultivated areas were like dark clouds when a heavy rain is about to come.

Among them was a kind of pitch-black plant, and Melen couldn't tell what it was.

After observing for a while, Melen came to a rough conclusion that these giants probably hid during the day and came out at night.

Meren quietly bypassed the village and continued on his way.

Next, he encountered several similar villages, in which the number of giants varied. Some were like the one he saw at the beginning, with only forty or fifty giants, while others had more than two hundred.

The goose that lays golden eggs is the treasure of the Giant Kingdom, so it is naturally placed in the safest place. Melen currently has no idea about this.

But it doesn't matter. He just needs to find a lone giant and ask him a few questions, and maybe he can get something.

Of course, if one doesn’t work, try two or three. I believe you will always get the answer.

But before that, he also had to confirm whether these giants would feel friendly towards him.

Soon Meren found his target, a giant who had left the village and went to the dark forest to cut down trees.

Judging from his face, this giant is still a bit young. He carries a huge axe on his back. His physical strength alone can reach the level of the second level.

When they were far away from the giant village, Melen appeared behind the giant and said loudly, "Hello."

The giant looked puzzled, turned his head and looked around, but didn't see the person who spoke. He scratched his head in confusion.

Mellen had to speak loudly again: "Down there! Look down there!"

The giant looked down and was shocked when he saw Mellen, then reached out to grab him without hesitation.

Mellen frowned, dodged and continued loudly: "Hello, can you hear me?"

The giant didn't care and kept grabbing at Melen, with an almost greedy desire in his eyes, which made Melen very unhappy.

Seeing that the idea of normal communication failed, Mellen had to take tough measures. Spike jumped out of the [Blue Ring], and the power of [Heavy Mountain] acted directly on the giant. The latter's body sank and he actually fell to his knees on the ground.

Mellen showed a hint of surprise at first, then nodded slightly.

Although the giants are physically strong, this is based on their huge size. If their size and strength were reduced proportionally, the giants in front of us would probably be at the level of ordinary people with slightly better physical fitness.

In other words, their strength is just right for their bodies. Once several times the gravity is applied to their huge bodies, their physical strength is naturally unable to support it, so they kneel down directly.

When Melen slowly walked in front of the giant, the latter had already prostrated himself on the ground, unable to even lift his arms, and even his breathing began to become rapid.

Melen just watched silently, without saying a word, until the greed in the giant's eyes was gradually replaced by fear. He then spoke again: "Now, can we communicate?"

As Mellen finished speaking, Spike slightly slowed down the power of [Heavy Mountain].

The giant suddenly began to breathe heavily.

After a moment, he said with difficulty: "You, outsider, what are you doing?!"

Melen felt a little uncomfortable listening to this disordered word order, but at least they could communicate normally.

He asked, "What's your name?"

The giant answered honestly, "Gudu, my name."

This "Gudu" does not seem to be an onomatopeia. It may have other meanings in the giant's language, but Melen is too lazy to understand.

He began to ask various questions about the Giant Empire, including many questions that sounded confidential but were of no use to Melen.

Mellen was no expert on torture, but he had never eaten pork, but he had never seen a pig run.

Through various threats and asking questions from simple to complex, the psychological defenses of the person being interrogated are gradually broken down until the answer to the question they want most is obtained.

Isn’t that how it’s played out in the movies?

When Melen asked the question, he did not give the giant Gudu much room to think. Once the other party showed hesitation or resistance, Spike would increase the effect of [Heavy Mountain] without hesitation.

The feeling of having a congested lung and being unable to breathe in any air even though you are gasping for breath is enough to drive a person crazy.

Especially when the giant Gudu realized that he had said too many things that he shouldn't have said, he felt like giving up and answered the questions more fluently.

Seeing the time was right, Melen pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "What treasures does your Giant Kingdom have?"

The giant Gulu said in confusion, "The king's scepter, the fruit of the god's tree, and the goose that lays golden eggs."

Mellen's eyes lit up slightly, and then he asked, "Where are they?"

The giant Gudu said as a matter of course: "They are all the king's treasures, so they are naturally in the palace."

Having obtained what he wanted most, Melen stopped asking questions related to this aspect and instead asked other questions, especially those related to the Giant King's Court.

After asking all the questions he wanted to know, Mellen fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, a fierce light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the giant Gudu. He roared, poured all his accumulated strength into his hands, and grabbed towards Mellen.

With this action, a faint black gas surged from the giant Gudu's body.

He had only one thought in his mind at this moment. As long as he could catch the little thing in front of him, he could... could...

"Buzz!~"

Invisible gravity waves swept across and then instantly concentrated near the giant Gudu's head.

The giant Gudu's head was smashed to the ground by a gravity that was several times stronger than the previous one. Although his bones were not seriously injured due to his strong body, his brain had turned into a pool of paste under the sudden gravity.

Melen didn't care too much about the death of the giant Gudu.

Because, the greedy and longing look the other person showed when he first saw him was clearly...appetite!

The bulging throat and saliva at the corners of the mouth also prove this.

The giant gurgled, wanting to eat him.

What surprised Melen was that after Gudu's death, he did not absorb any spiritual energy at all.

what does that mean?

Mellen collected his thoughts and asked Xiao Honglian and Spike to destroy the body (suck out the blood) and eliminate the traces (bury it in another place), and then continued to look for the next lone target.

It took nearly an hour for Melen to interrogate the four giants. After seeing Melen, they all showed a strong desire to eat, as if they really wanted to eat him.

Of course, this idea was naturally suppressed by Spike.

The answers obtained after asking the questions are basically the same. The slight deviations are still caused by the cognitive errors of the giants.

It is worth mentioning that there was actually a smart man among the giants who were interrogating him. He guessed Mellen's bad intentions and immediately wanted to fight him to the death. The result was naturally that both sides died.

After getting the answer he wanted, Melen quickly headed towards the Giant King's Court, which was the core of the Giant Kingdom and where the king resided.

If possible, Mellen wanted to get the goose that laid the golden eggs today, but he felt that time was a bit tight.

The time when the fairy tale turns around is twelve o'clock midnight, and the time when the first ray of sunlight shines on the fairy tale kingdom is six o'clock in the morning.

In other words, six hours of this time are Mellen's activity time. If he cannot get what he wants within these six hours, the giant kingdom above the clouds will be closed. If he wants to leave, he can only wait until the third midnight.

In this case, the risk of uncertainty is too great.

However, it took an hour to collect intelligence, and half an hour to travel before, which means it has already been an hour and a half. Including the current distance, it will take about half an hour to reach the Giant King's Court.

It would take him at least an hour to return to the magic vine from the Giant King's Court.

So the actual time left for him to steal the goose that lays golden eggs is only three hours at most.

Three hours, right under the noses of the Giant King and numerous other giants, stealing their treasure?!

It's a bit exaggerated no matter how you think about it.

There is no good solution for now, so we can only take it one step at a time.

When Melen arrived at the Giant King's Court, it was exactly two o'clock. He was shocked by the scene before him.

The Giant Kingdom could definitely be called a large city, with huge city walls and various buildings built in proportion to the giants' heights. This even gave him the same shock as when he first saw the Leshan Giant Buddha in his previous life.

A rough estimate shows that there are at least tens of thousands of giants living in the Giant King's Court, and their height and build are generally taller than those giants in the village.

Guarding the city gates are well-trained giant warriors, whose combat effectiveness must be far beyond that of their peers.

Melen observed for a long time, but felt he had no idea where to start.

If entering the city is already so difficult, wouldn't sneaking into the palace be even more difficult?!

Fortunately, Mellen's small size has its advantages. At least it is not easy for the giants to notice him.

After half an hour, Mellen stopped observing.

In fact, he had already thought of several ways to sneak in, but what about entering the Giant King's Court?

Now is the active period of the giants. If he enters, he will probably be discovered immediately.

Thinking of this, Mellen's heart gradually calmed down. It seemed that he really needed to stay for a while.

There is no doubt that the giants also have normal work and rest schedules. Since they are active now, they just need to continue waiting. There will always be time to rest.

And that was his chance.
