150 meters was not a long distance for either the giants or Luo Yuan.
Luo Yuan threw away the short spear in his hand and stretched his arms. He realized that his muscles were not torn this time. He did not even feel sore. His 14-point Physique had made his muscles stronger, so he would not get injured as easily as he had before.
The giants were getting closer and closer. The roars of these monsters were so loud that it made his ears buzz. He raised his eyelids and looked at the giants that were charging towards him from all over the mountains. A cold smile appeared on his face.
He gripped the handle of his saber tightly and his body suddenly blurred. The air around him surged and his body disappeared from where he was standing. He dragged the saber with his right hand and lowered his body like a ferocious tiger. He stepped on the soft soil with his toes and rolled up the leaves that were a few meters high. Every step he took covered a distance of five to six meters as he ran down the hill.
A strong giant with a huge stick in its hand was smiling as it ran towards him. Its wide mouth had almost split its face into two halves due to its smile. It looked extremely ferocious. As it ran, a huge object was swaying under its skin. Before it could get close, a strong stench of blood assaulted Luo Yuan's nostrils.
Luo Yuan frowned in disgust. He suddenly jumped up high like a swallow and curled his body into a ball. At the same time, his silver-white Zhanmadao sliced through the air and an ugly head flew into the sky. Blood gushed out from its neck. The headless giant continued to run for a few more steps before it fell to the ground, its body twitching unnaturally.
As soon as Luo Yuan landed on the ground, he ran like an agile cheetah and rushed into the crowd of giants with his saber. Soon, there was a bloody storm.
The gigantic body of the giant was like a slightly bigger target. Faced with Luo Yuan, whose speed and reflexes were a notch higher, the only result was a highly efficient massacre. Wherever he passed, there were broken limbs and fresh blood, as well as heart-wrenching screams.
Most of the giants did not die on the spot. Due to the difference in size, Luo Yuan was only as tall as the giants' thighs, so most of the giants only had their thighs cut off. The only difference was that some of them had one or two legs.
Time passed by. In less than 10 seconds after Luo Yuan rushed into the crowd of giants, more than 30 giants were severely injured. Almost every second, there were three giants who had their legs chopped off and could no longer escape. This was because the giants were too scattered, otherwise, there would be more of them.
Luo Yuan's figure was like a shadow moving at a high speed. One moment he was on the left, his saber flashing like lightning, and the next moment he was more than 10 meters away. The sharp Zhanmadao cut through the muscles and bones of the giant's thighs without any resistance. A giant that was trying to escape fell to the ground after a few steps, its legs detached from its body.
At the foot of the hill, there were giants rolling and screaming in pain. The strong smell of blood stimulated the surrounding branches to shake, and the bushes to move. Many people were staring at them, and there were even some shadows hovering above their heads.
After 30 seconds, none of the giants were still standing. Only those who had their legs separated and could no longer escape were still struggling and screaming in a pool of blood. The shrill and miserable voices echoed in the valley.
Luo Yuan stood where he was, blood dripping from the tip of his saber. Soon, it was as fresh as new. He took a few seconds to breathe, and his breathing quickly stabilized. After his Physique had been enhanced, his recovery speed had become insane.
He glanced around, and his gaze was like a sharp blade. The giants who were still crawling with their hands were so scared that they forgot the pain of losing their limbs. Their bodies were trembling, and their faces were full of despair.
A series of strange sounds came from their mouths. Some were begging, some were cursing, but none of them could change the final outcome.
Luo Yuan quickly walked over and killed them one by one. Soon, there were more than 100 headless corpses on the ground.
"The first step has finally been completed!" Luo Yuan thought to himself. His face was filled with excitement. He returned to his original spot, took the pouch filled with short spears, carried it on his back, and quickly walked deeper into the valley.
Until Luo Yuan completely disappeared from their sight, a large number of mutated beasts dared to rush out of the bushes and rush towards the corpses, tearing them apart.
… …
Luo Yuan met some giants on his way back, so he did not have to worry about going in the wrong direction. As for the giants, they were all killed by him.
All the trees on both sides of the road that were slightly larger had been chopped down, leaving only tree stumps. From the time he set out until now, he had seen no less than two thousand tree stumps. As he walked along the road, he saw more and more such tree stumps. His expression became more and more serious. He didn't know what these giants were doing with these huge logs. It must be known that with so many trees, it would be enough to build a small city.
After walking for nearly a few kilometers, a huge stone wall appeared in front of him. He took a closer look and quickly crouched down. He found that there were caves everywhere on the stone wall, and he could see the shadows of giants from time to time. Strangely, there seemed to be thick smoke coming out of those caves, and the air was filled with the smell of smoke. Also, there were waves of heat blowing in front of him from time to time.
He slowed down, hid his body in the bushes, and crawled forward. After walking for more than 10 minutes, the heat had reached a level that made Luo Yuan feel hot. The temperature had reached more than 70 degrees Celsius, and even the bushes around him had turned yellow and dehydrated. A trace of doubt flashed through his mind, and he walked a few steps forward. He gently pushed the bushes aside and took a closer look. His face changed slightly.
It was a huge brazier. The group of giants had dug a huge pit in the open space in front of the stone wall. It was about 100 meters wide, and the flames were burning fiercely in the air. From time to time, it would shoot more than 100 meters high.
At that moment, countless giants were sweating profusely as they threw logs into the huge brazier from afar. Their skin was a little yellow from the high temperature, and the hair on their heads was completely burnt and curled up. However, these giants looked excited and solemn.
However, the high temperature was obviously a harsh test for the giants with thick skin. Almost none of the giants could withstand three rounds of the brazier. Soon, another group of giants would take over.
There were a lot of giants there. There were about 150 to 160 of them in the open space alone, and the number of giants standing on the stone wall watching the fire was a few times more. It was hard to distinguish their expressions, but their eyes were burning with passion. To put it more vividly, it was fanaticism and devotion.
Luo Yuan had thought of many uses for the giant logs, such as building residential buildings, making hunting weapons, and building defensive walls. However, he had never thought that the giant logs were just for a brazier.
After watching for a while, Luo Yuan gradually understood that the fear of fire was deeply imprinted in the genes of living creatures, and that fear could lead to worship. It seemed to be a primitive worship of nature, and humans had gone through the same path.
Moreover, this huge brazier was placed there not only for the purpose of worship, but also to scare other mutated creatures. In this dangerous forest, the use of a brazier was enough to save countless giants.
This was no longer a simple fear, but the initial stage of using fire. In a sense, this was the most important step for intelligent creatures.
Along the way, most of the tree stumps around them were recently cut down, which meant that the fire pit had not been here for long. The giants had only learned to use fire recently. Connecting this with the thunderstorm and forest fire that happened some time ago, it was obvious that the fire pit was the turning point.
Humans had been eating raw meat for millions of years, and they had only learned to use fire during the Neolithic Age. However, this group of creatures had only learned to use fire in a few days. Even if they tried to extend the time, it would not be more than two years. The difference between two years and millions of years made Luo Yuan feel a chill in his heart. This group of intelligent creatures had progressed too quickly. Luo Yuan did not dare to imagine how much they would evolve if they were left alone for a few more years.
A hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes. These creatures must not be left alive.
However, it would be difficult to kill all of them. He carefully observed his surroundings and finally looked at the rock wall.
The slope of the rock wall was very steep, almost vertical. It was about 300 meters high, and the surface of the rock wall had traces of being repaired. It was very smooth, and there were almost no protrusions or pits to hold on to. There was a zigzag road that went from the bottom of the rock wall to the middle of the rock wall.
Such a road that was dug from the rock wall was a huge project, even for these powerful giants. There were still a few giants at the top of the rock wall who were still digging. Obviously, the road would continue to extend.
The caves on the rock walls were opened on the side walls of this path.
The terrain was easy to defend, but difficult to attack. It was as if one man could hold the pass against ten thousand enemies. If they wanted to kill these giants, they would have to advance from the bottom of the road. There was almost no turning back.
Luo Yuan frowned.
