Chapter 1066: Demi Giants in Ice lands (1/2)

The family they are going after next is actually a Demi Giant family that was cursed by some other god who is a subordinate of Hou Yi.

They were cursed and banished to this place. These Demi-Giants have no elemental affinity, they are pure warriors with large bodies. Their bloodline purity is around sixty three percent and currently they worship Hou Yi because, their god died.

As for why they suddenly migrated, it is because, they heard about a prophecy that the key to their curse being lifted and them being able to get out of this realm will be present there.

They created a small town in a valley where they settled. The town is completely governed by them and the main source of attraction for the people are the merchants that come there for doing business with the Demi Giants.

After all, the Demi Giants who didn't even have an elemental ability, might as well be one of the strongest exisitences in the realm, even though they don't have any particular territory in this place. They are biggest suppliers of the treasures, beast products and other resources that are available in the frozen fields of this planet.

They don't rule the whole realm and they don't even rule the planet they are in, their only goals are to maintain an easy and proper way of survival and to find a way to break their curse.

It was said that the natural laws completely stop them from moving away from this planet, if they enter the worm holes, the spatial turbulence will kill them.

Sam couldn't help but suspect Hou Yi, after all it is not exactly a coincidence when it happens two times. The prophecy for the Hob Goblins and now these Demi Giants, both are powers of Hou Yi.

But since the gods are not meddling, then he must be playing within the rules.

Sam didn't care much anyway. Since they are inside the valley of this town, there is no need for him to worry too much, as long as their location is available, it is all okay for him.

But this time he decided to piss Hou Yi off even more than the last time for making him travel more than needed.

Soon, they reached the vicinities of the valley.

Sam looked at the valley from far away as he tried to analyze the structure and terrain to see if there is any advantage he could take.

Meanwhile, he let the team enter the town and gather some intel.

While Sam is busy doing this, the Demi-Giants that is currently in a meeting. The head of the Demi-Giants looked at the rest of the family and said.

”How are the preparations for the defenses of the valley? Is the formation ready to be activated?”

”Yes, lord. The formation was connected and it would surely awaken the hidden power in the valley at any moment, even the frontline defenses are made.

We managed to construct everything according to the blueprints. No matter who attacks the valley, we can definitely hold them back and send them back.”

”What I want is not sending them back. I want them o stay here. I am telling you, the person that comes to attack us has the thing that could make us escape this realm. The only way for us to do is make sure that we kill every intruder and make them stay here for eternity.

They will stay in this valley of death for the long time to come.” The lord replied sternly and the elder sat back down silently.

”How are the Ice cannons doing? Are they ready?”

”Yes, lord. The Ice goblins are working day and night. They will deliver them by tonight and will help us in the operation. Their payment was also done.”

”The Ice cannons are important, the prophet said that the other party has many tricks up their sleeves, we need to be prepared. They can strike anytime now.”

As they are discussing, an attendant ran into the room without any etiquette or propriety and whispered something in the ears of the lord.

When the lord heard it, his widened in surprise and immediately dismissed all the elders and only let a few elders stay.

He sent the attendant away and gave some instructions of the Elders before sending them away too. He walked to the ice statue of Hou Yi in the room and bowed to it before sitting in meditation to calm himself down.

Meanwhile, Night Ghost and the rest of the team are currently looking through the town as they talked with different merchants doing business.

Even though the town is small, some exclusive merchants will come here to do business with the Demi Giants, since they are from the foreign lands, some people from the surrounding locality brought a bunch of their local produce to advertise if the foreign merchants like this, they will buy and along with that, the people from different localities in the surroundings can also buy each others products creating a small market and there is a lot of information they could gain from these people about the rest of the family.

At this moment, Night Ghost is drinking some liquor and talking with the crew of a Foreign merchant who came to do business with the Demi Giant.

But as he sat there, he sensed something and immediately ducked down, a hammer was swung past his earlier position as it hit the wall and half of the bar was destroyed with a single attack.

Night ghost frowned and stepped away from him, before saying.
