Chapter 2702 - Giants Move Mountains (2/2)

He spent a while watching the giants, but even after a considerable amount of time, he couldn’t understand what the giants were doing.

“Are these guys the heirs of Yu Gong? Are all of his children here, moving this mountain? Or does the mountain possess some kind of treasure?” Han Sen wondered with interest.

Han Sen examined the mountain more closely. God knew how long the 300 giants had been working there. They had only removed a small part of the mountain’s foothills. If they were trying to make a tunnel, it would take years.

“The way they’re striking seems like they’re trying to move the mountain, not dig into the side of it,” Han Sen thought with a frown. He decided that he should fly around the mountain. Perhaps he could find some piece of text carved into the mountain, or really anything that might shed light on this baffling situation.

Han Sen hadn’t flown very far around the mountain when his eyes widened. He came to an abrupt stop.

A giant metal pillar had been pushed into the side of the mountain. It looked something like the Sky God Pillar, actually.

Even more strangely, the metal pillar had been rammed through the chest of a giant. It was pinning him to the mountain.

That giant looked stronger than the other 300 Breakskies that Han Sen had seen so far. Its armor was crusted with dull, dried blood. Its blood-matted white hair looked like a waterfall, but it also obscured the giant’s face. What did he look like? Han Sen had no idea.

Han Sen couldn’t sense a lifeforce within this massive creature, but he could definitely sense a presence. It was hard to describe. When Han Sen looked at the giant, he felt numb. Goosebumps flared across his skin.

The giant was a dead man pinned to a mountain, but Han Sen felt as if his presence could break the sun and the moon. It was like the sky and the ground would be forced to obey this monster.

“How can a dead man have this much power? How strong had he once been, then?” Han Sen’s shock quickly gave way to confusion. “Are these giants trying to move the mountain so they can bring this body down? That is so stupid. Wouldn’t it be easier to dig around the lance itself? If they follow their current path, they’ll have to dig through almost the entire mountain in order to bring the body down.”

Han Sen couldn’t understand what the giants were thinking, and so he continued soaring around the mountain to see if he could find anything else.

He ended up disappointed. He flew around the mountain, but aside from the pillar and the giant corpse pinned to the mountain, there was nothing else to find.

“The giants have to be after that body, but the way they’re digging into the rocks makes no sense. There must be a reason why they cannot bring the body down right away,” Han Sen thought to himself.

Han Sen spent a long time watching them from afar. The giants kept using their fists to shatter stone. They did it would reprieve.

Han Sen made a calculation. At their current speed, it would take more than ten thousand years for them to bring the whole mountain down.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The bells in the sky rang again. Han Sen raised his head. The three needles were pointing north again. That meant it was 12 o’clock.

Upon hearing the bell, the giants striking the mountain stopped their work. They all turned and headed back the way they had come.

When the giants were gone, Han Sen saw something unbelievable.
