Chapter 112: The Black Giant

  Although the scene was frozen, the ten treasure hunters did not dare to delay for too long. They couldn't stay in the same position for a long time, and if others found this place, the competition would become even more intense.

  In desperation, they actually adopted a game of rock-paper-scissors, selecting the unluckiest loser to go and check on the box.

  Losing is losing, it's the will of heaven. The man walked towards the statue with a gloomy face, slowly. He couldn't not go, otherwise he would be subject to public censure, this was agreed upon beforehand.

  When he arrived in front of the altar, this slightly chubby young man first rushed to the statue and bowed respectfully, then trembled with both hands and touched the box.

  Seeing this scene, not only Su Che, but also the other nine people couldn't help but smile: That's a Wu tribe statue, you as a human being, even if you kowtow to it a hundred times, it won't bless you, and those who should be killed will still be killed.

  However, the smile could only be suppressed in his heart, and everyone was extremely tense, not knowing what would happen next if he touched the box.

  His hands slowly pressed down on the box, and suddenly, he let out a muffled groan, his entire body began to convulse violently, even rolling back his eyes, as if he had been electrocuted by a low-level thunderbolt...

  What's going on?

  Another nine people suddenly dispersed and made preparations to withdraw at any time, ready to rush into the stone forest...

  After a few gasps, the person in front of the altar stopped trembling, suddenly turned his head, and gave a gloomy smile to the others, then licked his lips again, saying in a gloomy tone: "I'm so hungry..."

  "What does it mean?"

  The other nine people immediately realized that something was wrong, and no one could make such a joke at this critical moment...

  Return

  Quick retreat

  In a small fairyland, once encountered a tricky situation, immediately run away, no matter how far to run, this is also another experience.

  Wow!

  The person in front of the altar suddenly let out a loud shout, instantly tearing off his Taoist robe, and then his body began to swell violently. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a gigantic figure over three zhang tall, with a completely black body. Moreover, countless pustules like boils appeared on the surface of his skin, making him look like a monstrous creature with flesh tumors, a truly terrifying sight.

  Rumble rumble rumble

  He casually chose an explorer and trudged over with heavy footsteps, like a mighty mammoth, rumbling loudly.

  That treasure hunter had already run to the edge of the stone forest, and with one step, he was about to dash into the stone pillars. However, with a "thud", he collided with an invisible wall that was full of elasticity, and instead of entering the stone forest, he was bounced back several meters away, dazed and disoriented, and landed on his butt on the ground.

  The remaining sanity made him think of jumping up to continue escaping, but as soon as his body left the ground, he was caught by a giant who had rushed over and sent straight to his mouth.

  "I'm so hungry"

  With a crunch, the treasure hunter was bitten in two. His upper body entered the giant's mouth, leaving only his buttocks and two legs below still kicking wildly.

  Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock...

  The giant's powerful jaws chewed, blood flowers splashing from the corners of his mouth, the scene extremely terrifying.

  Another eight treasure hunters were also blocked by an invisible wall and no matter how hard they tried, they could not return to the stone forest.

  Only Su Che, who was originally hiding in the stone forest, was unaffected.

  Tick-tock, tick-tock...

  A giant over three zhang tall devoured a big living person in just a few breaths, but he was still yelling with hunger.

  Hungry.

  "I'm hungry."

  "I'm so hungry"

  On one side shouting with hunger, on the other searching for the next prey.

  The eight treasure hunters trapped here, no matter what, were seasoned cultivators. Since they couldn't penetrate that invisible wall and hadn't panicked to the point of running around wildly, someone immediately shouted: "Everyone, don't panic! Hiding isn't an option, let's join hands and...

  "Ah"

  Before he could finish shouting, a miserable cry escaped his lips as he turned into a puddle of flesh and blood, staining the ground red for a large area.

  Thinking of not letting others panic, he himself forgot that loud noises were not allowed in the Xiaoyao Immortal Realm, and was immediately punished by the sacred land's guardian power. Perhaps only witches can shout loudly here...

  "Hungry, hungry, hungry..."

  The giant shouted that he was hungry, but did not suffer any punishment. Or rather, he had already suffered another form of punishment.

  "It's been hundreds of millions of years since I've eaten anything, it's strange if I'm not hungry." In the immortal prison, Old Black ground his teeth and muttered: "Being called out by him, I'm also hungry, let's find something to eat."

  Lao Hei certainly wouldn't eat people; there was a lot of food stored in the immortal prison after all, and they still had to feed over ten prisoners.

  At this moment, the seven surviving treasure hunters have joined forces, each displaying their magic, treasures and spirit symbols, and launched a crazy bombardment on the giant.

  Rumble... rumble... rumble...

  The giant's skin burst open, and black blood splattered everywhere. However, it no longer knew what pain was, half-crouching on the ground like a huge black gorilla, stubbornly withstanding the dense barrage, approaching its next prey with an abnormal fixation.

  Seven treasure hunters worked closely together, taking turns and switching positions, constantly disrupting the giant's line of sight. Their attacks didn't stop either, causing the giant to look around frantically, changing its target repeatedly, but no one could catch it.

  If this can be sustained, it will eventually exhaust the giant to death. After all, he is not a real sorcerer, but a human being transformed into a monster, and his power is limited.

  But since an anomaly has already occurred here, things can't be that simple.

  Soon, the seven treasure hunters discovered that the invisible wall was rapidly shrinking, and their activity space was getting smaller and smaller...

  "How did this happen?"

  "It's all over, this is the end"

  "Hurry up, everyone think of a solution quickly"

  Seven people were all flustered, and the rhythm of their footsteps also began to become disordered.

  The invisible wall contracted rapidly, forcing them to move closer to the statue in the center.

  "Hungry, hungry, hungry..."

  The giant approached a treasure hunter with a pointed chin, at the critical moment, this person not only triggered his own potential but also burst out the darkest side of human nature. His body twisted like a spirit snake, turning the impossible into possible, and he actually circled to the back of another companion, and launched a double palm strike, pushing hard on someone's back.

  "Are you still hungry? Let me feed you again and see if I can fill your belly." This was what he was thinking at the moment.

  "Ah"

  The person who was pushed by him was caught off guard and flew up into the air, unable to stop himself, and crashed headfirst into the giant's embrace.

  The giant held him in his arms, opened his bloody big mouth, and immediately took his head in.

  Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock...

  Another big living person, three mouths and two mouths were eaten into the belly, the giant's body became more majestic, and the flesh tumors on his body also grew a lot; however, the remaining six treasure hunters who could still move around had less and less space, and at this moment, they were already crowded to the edge of the altar.

  Others may not have the time to condemn the despicable behavior of 'pointed chin' monks, perhaps if it were them, they would do the same. Moreover, the current situation seems like everyone is already unable to escape.

  "Hungry, hungry, hungry..."

  It's still hungry

  "Ah, I don't want to be eaten, I'd rather eat people!" A treasure hunter was driven nearly mad, and suddenly he pounced on the altar, also pressing down on the box with both hands.

  He would rather become a man-eating monster than be torn apart and swallowed alive by monsters, that feeling is just too terrifying.

  He also went through the process of trembling all over, turning up his white eyes, and finally became a black giant with a height of more than three zhang. However, unexpectedly, the giant who had been there earlier let out a loud roar, suddenly collapsed to the ground, instantly turned into a cloud of black smoke, and left no trace behind.

  Why is it like this?

  A clever person would immediately realize that at the same time, there can only be one giant here, and the later one will replace the previous one.

  "I'm so hungry"

  The giant also started roaring and fixed his ferocious gaze on the remaining five people.

  The five treasure hunters looked at each other in dismay and simultaneously let out a wry smile.

  The one with the pointed chin asked in a hoarse voice, "Who goes first?"

  "I'll go first, don't any of you rush to follow me" A big-bearded monk was the first to pounce onto the altar, his hands also pressing down on the box.

  Rather die than be a monster, and be replaced by those who come later...

  But such a miserable wish was also impossible to fulfill. He had just pressed the box and hadn't even had time to enjoy the transformation process when he was caught by the giant who had just successfully transformed.

  Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock...

  Taking advantage of the giant's big mouth tearing and devouring, the remaining four people stared at each other and pounced on the box together...

  Hurry up, otherwise it will be too late.

  Although they pressed the box at the same time, the transformation sequence could still be distinguished. As a result, the remaining four people transformed into giants one after another: A was replaced by B, then C took over...

  In the end, it was that pointed chin guy who became the only surviving black giant. The others all turned into black smoke and dispersed into nothingness.

  Hungry

  I'm hungry

  "I'm so hungry"

  He wandered around in circles, shouting out loud: Hungry, hungry, hungry...

  In the Stone Forest, Su Che was stunned by this change, and for a while, he couldn't figure out whether this guy's luck was the best or the worst.

  "I think he's the most unlucky" Old Hei said with his mouth full of beef, mumbling: "Starving to that point, being alive is worse than being dead."

  "Perhaps his soul has already died."

  Su Che secretly shook his head. No matter what, the last giant left had become an obstacle for him. To get that box, he must first take care of it.

  "Lao Hei, are you certain that box is a top-grade treasure and not an evil cursed object?" Su Che asked cautiously once again.

  "Yes, master, I've sensed it already. That box is at least a spiritual treasure." Old Black explained patiently: "The cursed power you mentioned should be a kind of powerful sorcery, which doesn't attach to the box but comes from that statue."

  Su Che nodded in his heart: "Alright, then find a way to get it"
