209 The danger of a protagonist partner 2 (1/2)
The massive earthen giant stood before the three carriages of differing quality at a distance of a kilometer.
Even with the expansive stretch of land that appeared to present some modicum of security, Shen Haoren who was leading the group felt his back flooded with cold sweat.
Limbs of a hundred and twenty meters respectively, whilst the torso was as large and sturdy as the iron palisade that guarded the Wang City – the most fortified location the middle-aged man could think of on the spot.
The boulders that served as the joints of the giant were larger than the volume their three carriages would generate once stacked upon the other.
Given how the monster's height was roughly a little over a half of a kilometer, the safety presented behind the length of a kilometer's in distance seemed to be nothing more than a façade.
The middle-aged man found to his dismay, that he wasn't even able to fool himself of his welfare.
Though the dust storms prevented his gaze from properly inspecting the 'attractive' features of the giant, Shen Haoren swore in his heart that the creature of earth was displaying a mocking smile on its countenance.
”Damn…” the middle-aged man cursed numerous times, his hands quivering as they loosely held onto the reins.

”Husband…”
The young woman called out from within the carriage, her voice tinged with a deeply startled fear and apprehension.
The young woman consoled the faintly trembles with one hand, whilst digging through another inconspicuous bag with the other.
”Lord Shen, what shall we do!?”
The voice of a disheartened but still relatively energetic youth echoed throughout the empty plains, forcing the middle-aged man to jolt in his seat.
A completely distasteful and wry smile manifested on Shen Haoren's countenance, and the middle-aged man turned to the right to face the ruddy countenance of a dusty and worn-down youth.
Tang Shiqi had disembarked from his carriage to run towards Shen Haoren, of which he felt a degree of stability and assuredness.
The youth of the Tang Clan panted with his hands on his knees, his brow dotted with cold beads of unforgivable terror.
”Young Tang, what do you think we can do?”
Shen Haoren grimaced, his hands patting around his pockets to soothe his agitated consciousness.
”An Earth Giant that's at least half a kilometer in height; such a fierce creature as that possess the might of a peak Core Formation Realm cultivator – and more! Now, lad, I know you have some secrets regarding your uncanny cultivation, but the Body Tempering Realm won't stand a chance against a single huff of air from that monster!”
The middle-aged man emphatically waved his arms to emphasize his point, and the two's countenance dimmed a step further after opening themselves to the grim reality that stood a kilometer away.
Tang Shiqi took another glance at the menacing tower that constituted an Earth Giant – one of the recorded mysteries of the earth and subsequently, one of the recorded terrors.
The spiritual world of the Shattered Star Continent was divided into three general realms that spanned the entirety of the jianghu in a single breath.
Spirit Beasts, practitioners, and fierce creatures.
Spirit beasts were animalistic creature that gained a fundamental evolution in their intelligence in addition to their strength following the baptism of atmospheric spiritual essence.
Though they were not particularly powerful nor cunning as the other two categorizations, spirit beasts constituted the majority of intellectual animals found within the continent.
The small fox was a spirit beast, as well as the little raven – however much it protested, it still constituted a spirit beast in essence.
Practitioners were as obvious from their title; they were the cultivators of the continent, but did not necessarily have to be human.
Mixed races were the most common of practitioners, though some spirit beasts, upon a significant attainment in their cultivation, transitioned into a higher being of intelligence as they devoted themselves into developing extensive utilization of spiritual essence rather than their fleshly body.
Nonetheless, the phenomenon of spirit beasts forgoing their balanced nature in bodily physique and the manipulation of the elements, deeming the notion of doing so as subpar and ill-befitting of their pure bloodline.
Lastly were the fierce creatures, their existence of which was one of the mysteries of the jianghu.
Fierce creatures could barely be confused as spirit beasts upon first examination; other than sharing a common form, the differences were far too strict and unforgiving for the assumption to be casually made.
