Chapter 61: Clay Giant (2)

Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!

Zhang Sheng’an cursed in anger.

They really did have bad luck!

Calamity had struck when Zhang Sheng’an and his team had been searching for Tunneling Grass.

The Tunneling Grass was a plant with a high amount of spirit power. Mature Tunneling Grass could create their own paths underground and hide in these tunnels whenever they ran into danger, quickly changing their position.

This made them quite difficult to harvest.

The juice pressed from the Tunneling Grass’s roots could be blent and processed into a great raw ingredient for Origin Tools. Thus, its price was extremely high in the outside world.

Zhang Sheng’an and the others had stumbled upon a Tunneling Grass, but it escaped from them underground.

Thankfully, their team was good at pursuing targets. They followed the traces the Tunneling Grass left behind until they arrived at the Clay Giant’s territory.

They originally planned on quickly grabbing the Tunneling Grass before leaving, but unexpectedly the Clay Giant suddenly went crazy, rampaging through the forest.

Zhang Sheng’an and the others were no match for this frighteningly powerful Clay Giant, so they immediately retreated.

Under normal circumstances, the Clay Giant would retreat as soon as it chased the intruders out of its territory, but for some reason the Clay Giant continued to chase after them relentlessly. It was not particularly fast, but every step it took was equivalent to four or five of theirs. The ground trembled underneath the Clay Giant’s massive, weighty strides.

The Clay Giant charged forwards with a towering momentum. It first caught up to Morning Dragon Jiang Yang, the slowest in the group. It swung its giant hand through the air, the wind turbulently flowing around its hand.

Jiang Yang knew the situation wasn’t good. He reacted quickly and thrust his palm out just when the giant’s hand was about to slam into him. He yelled, “RISE!”

A wall of earth appeared behind his back, directly appearing in front of the Clay Giant’s body.

Even so, when faced with absolute strength, this kind of defensive attempt was completely pointless.

The Clay Giant’s massive hand slammed into the earth wall, breaking through it like a piece of paper.

The wall of earth instantly shattered. The giant hand continued through the air. Jiang Yang had no time to dodge, so all he could do was apply an earth-type barrier to himself.

BANG!

The giant hand slammed into Jiang Chang.

Jiang Yang flew through the air like a shooting star. No one knew if he was still alive after being struck by that attack.

The Clay Giant continued to chase them. It had already arrived before Sword Rhinoceros Zheng Kuang, raising its foot to stomp him.

Just when Zheng Xia was about to be stomped into a powder, a howl of rage pierced the air. A black shadow shot past him, stopping the Clay Giant’s foot in place.

It was the Giant Adamantine Ape. Its body was thick and sturdy like the Clay Giant, but it was much shorter than the Clay Giant. It held the Clay Giant’s foot in place as it snarled in feral rage.

Zheng Xia had narrowly escaped his death. Jin Ling’er spoke into his ear, “Hurry and run, the Giant Adamantine Ape won’t last long.”

High-tier Vicious Beasts were simply too weak compared to peak-level Vicious Beasts, and the Clay Giant could be considered the peak of the peak. There was no way the Giant Adamantine Ape could last very long.

The Giant Adamantine Ape bled from multiple wounds under the Clay Giant’s assault. Everyone else was so scared that they instantly scattered.

Suddenly, Jin Ling’er cried out, her face draining of all its color.

She said, “The Adamantine Ape died.”

They glanced behind them, only to find that the Giant Adamantine Ape had been squashed into a meat patty by the Clay Giant.

A high-tier Vicious Beast couldn’t even last a few moments before being forcefully beaten to death.

Upon seeing this scene, they felt as if their souls were about to depart from their bodies. They began to run even faster.

In that moment, Zhang Sheng’an’s eyes lit up.

He was good at archery, which required extremely high visual acuity. The adrenaline made it so his eyes were particularly active. He had spotted a group of people nearby looking in his direction, evidently trying to see what was happening.

Zhang Sheng’an recognized a few faces amongst them, causing his killing intent to soar.
