The enormous cyclops displayed its powerful physique to its heart's content. Along the way, the earth shook, the mountains shook, ancient trees snapped, and all beasts retreated.
Even in the Dark Forest where danger lurked on every side and super rank magical creatures frequently roamed, there were still very few creatures who were willing to provoke a creature as powerful as the cyclops. It wasn't an easy thing to become enemies with such a big fellow.
Han Shuo and Gilbert followed the tracks the cyclops had left behind and caught up to him without much effort. In order to avoid attracting his attention, Han Shuo rode on Gilbert's dragon body and purposefully kept a large distance from the cyclops.
Following behind the cyclops, Han Shuo paid close attention to his surroundings along the way. He actually discovered a few powerful presences that seemed to be interested in the cyclops' movements.
However, these presences also purposefully avoided the cyclops and hid far away, unwilling to approach him. They only followed the tracks the cyclops had left behind, seeming to have the same intentions as Han Shuo.
When Han Shuo sensed these powerful presences, he immediately had Gilbert transform into his human form and used the Art of the Demonic Ninth Heavens to drag Gilbert along. This was to prevent Gilbert's enormous size from attracting the attention of these powerful creatures and becoming their prey.
The three yin demons were placed in the surroundings, constantly on the lookout for danger that could descend at any time. Danger was everywhere in the Dark Forest, and Han Shuo had to be cautious.
The cyclops' towering body covered a distance of five to six meters with each step. After a period of turbulent travel, they finally entered a small mountain, Tanai.
Tanai's waterfall flowed freely, the trees were verdant, the small lake was clear, and the flowers were beautiful. There were a few strange rocks of various colors at the bottom of the clear river. Under the illumination of the sunlight, they shone with gentle light, causing the small river to shimmer with a phosphorescent light and accentuate the colors of the swimming fish.
Strangely, when the cyclops arrived at the valley, his previously reckless footsteps suddenly became cautious. He was very careful with each step, as if afraid of breaking the tranquility of the valley and alarming some powerful creature.
Han Shuo, who was following the cyclops from afar, hid in a crack on a cliff above the valley. He focused his gaze on the valley below, paying attention to the cyclops' movements.
The Cyclops arrived at the valley and carefully walked forward with light steps. As he walked, he untied the huge iron shovel on his back and walked straight towards the small lake where the waterfall fell.
To Han Shuo's surprise, the lake was very deep. When the cyclops' ten-meter-tall body fell into the lake, the lake water actually reached up to his shoulders.
No matter how careful the cyclops was, he still caused the water to ripple violently the moment he fell into the lake. The colourful fish fled in all directions in fright. The clear water around him gradually became murky, clearly affected by his footsteps.
When the cyclops waved his hands and used the iron shovel in his hands to work, the water in the lake became even more turbulent, and the clear surface of the lake became murkier and murkier. Huge rocks were sent out of the lake by the swing of the iron shovel.
The cyclops only needed a glance to distinguish the useful ones from the useless ones. Once the useful rocks were shoveled to the shore, he would immediately put them away and continue his work.
The rocks dug out by the cyclops were all covered in mud and silt. Han Shuo couldn't tell what kind of rocks they were, but since the cyclops had taken a liking to them and made him secretly dig for them from thousands of kilometers away, they shouldn't be easily obtainable.
Suddenly, a few powerful auras descended from different directions near the valley. They all locked their attention on the cyclops, as if waiting for something.
In an instant, Han Shuo's breathing calmed and his heartbeat slowed. He began to deliberately conceal his movements to avoid being discovered and causing unnecessary trouble.
As a super rank magical beast, Gilbert also had a miraculous method of concealing himself. Under Han Shuo's gaze, he slowly dove into the flowing river of the lake and continued to sink until he reached the bottom of the swamp.
As an evil race in the underground world, dark dragons had an innate talent for hiding in swamps. When Gilbert dove into the swamp, the flowing river water and mud obstructed his detection. Even Han Shuo had to carefully sense his surroundings in order to vaguely find traces of him.
After concealing his body, the three yin demons carefully circled around the mountain valley under Han Shuo's control. They slowly closed in on a few directions based on the auras they sensed.
First, on the branch of a seven meter tall old tree stood an old woman with wrinkles all over her face, wearing a fiery red mage robe. From the magic insignia on her robe, Han Shuo discovered that this old woman was actually a fire grand magus. Her gaze didn't linger on the cyclops. Instead, she kept looking around, as if she was more interested in the valley itself.
The second person was a middle-aged man with a handsome and robust appearance. His short golden hair stood on end, and he seemed to be in high spirits. He stopped behind a rock and focused his attention on the cyclops.
This middle-aged man had a strange aura that was actually somewhat similar to that of dark dragon Gilbert. When Han Shuo used this feeling to carefully size up the middle-aged man, he suddenly realized that this middle-aged man should be an adult golden dragon.
The third powerful creature landed in the shrubbery. It was a giant ape around four meters tall, with long silver fur and a pair of blood red eyes. The nails at the ends of its slender arms were as sharp as knives, and there were even traces of blood on them, as if it had just torn apart a magical beast.
The last person was a beautiful girl on a pegasus, hovering in the air. Her teeth were white, her eyes were bright, and her skin was fair. Her beautiful and flawless face exuded a holy aura. She sat on the pegasus, her slender body straight and her chest high and full. Her attention was also focused on the cyclops.
Through the prying eyes of the three yin demons, Han Shuo observed the four powerful beings hidden in the valley one by one. He couldn't help but be shocked. The Dark Forest was indeed a frightening place. A single cyclops had attracted so many experts.
Four powerful creatures, two magical beasts, and two humans. The middle-aged man was, of course, the transformation of the super rank magical beast golden dragon. Golden dragons were one of the strongest races of dragons, and their strength was publicly recognized. The middle-aged man's aura was as distant and heavy as a mountain. He was a powerful existence that had evolved at least three times, and definitely wasn't something that the little dark dragon who had just made her debut could compare to.
The silver-eyed giant ape had a four meter tall body. Just from the sharpness and coldness of its fingertips, Han Shuo could keenly sense that they were stained with the blood of the powerful humans and beasts of the Dark Forest. The smell of blood permeated the air around it. Although he didn't know what kind of mutated monster it was, the powerful aura was definitely not weak.
The wrinkled old woman was a fire grand magus. Her use of fire magic had already reached the pinnacle, and her strength was absolutely shocking and terrifying.
Only the beautiful girl on the pegasus was left. Han Shuo couldn't judge her strength from her appearance, but the fact that she dared to appear here made Han Shuo believe that she wasn't an easy opponent to deal with. If it wasn't for her extreme confidence in her own strength, she definitely wouldn't have appeared in this place.
When Han Shuo observed the four powerful creatures hiding in the dark through the yin demons, he immediately communicated with Gilbert and told him to stop moving, in case he suffered an unexpected calamity.
"Roar …"
A loud roar suddenly rang out from the depths of the earth. The entire mountain valley shook, and the rocks on the cliffs shook and fell towards the small lake and river.
This roar came from the depths of the earth and revealed boundless rage. The four powerful creatures watching in the dark all had different expressions when they heard this loud roar.
The golden dragon and the beautiful girl on the pegasus were both startled and seemed to be caught off guard. They didn't know what had happened, and their gazes moved away from the cyclops to look towards the lake and river. The fire grand magus and the giant silver ape seemed to understand what had happened, and their expressions were filled with unconcealable excitement.
After a loud roar, the temperature of the small valley, which was originally at a comfortable temperature, soared. The small lake and the cool river water suddenly became like a hot spring. Steam rose from them and gradually spread throughout the valley.
The cyclops obviously also knew what had happened. His originally gentle movements immediately sped up, as if he was hiding from something. He wanted to obtain more of the strange ores in the lake in the shortest amount of time possible, and frantically increased his pace of work.
Following the loud rumbling sounds, Tanai's earth trembled and the lake and river seemed to split open from the ground. The temperature in the mountain valley rose steadily, and a few tender flowers were the first to wither, unable to withstand the heat. Afterwards, some shrubs and leaves dried up and cracked, gradually emitting thick smoke.
Gilbert, who was hiding in the depths of the mud, suddenly felt the temperature of the water skyrocket. Even his strong body couldn't withstand it, and he almost turned into a roasted dragon. He couldn't help but want to leave the mud and escape.
However, Han Shuo discovered that the four powerful creatures hidden in the surroundings had all raised their attention to the maximum. A thick killing intent permeated the valley, as if a great battle was about to begin at any moment. Han Shuo was greatly alarmed and hurriedly tried to stop the dark dragon with all his might, dispelling any thoughts of leaving the bottom of the river, lest he become the first target.
When Han Shuo strongly tried to stop the dark dragon, he gave him the order to make use of the mud to leave the mountain valley first. This was to prevent him from becoming the target of everyone's attacks and ending up with a miserable death.
Gilbert forcefully endured the danger of his body being burned and used his innate ability as a dark dragon to quickly move towards a place where the temperature was lower. He gradually left the area of the mountain valley and disappeared along the direction of the river.
Not long after the dark dragon's body left, a terrifying roar sounded from the depths of the earth. It was as if the river and lake had been torn apart as underground fire erupted from the mountain valley. Magma bubbled out of the lake and river, the scorching heat making anyone feel extremely uncomfortable.
In the middle of the river where the magma had gathered, a dozen or so fiery red stone giants that seemed to be made of magma slowly bent their bodies and stood up.
These stone giants were as red as branding iron, and there seemed to be magma constantly churning within their bodies. Each of them was as tall as the giant silver ape, and magma flowed from their eyes, making them appear extremely terrifying and sinister. As the rolling magma spread, they charged towards the cyclops.
"It's the Flame Demon Battle General! It's here indeed!" The fire grand magus couldn't help but exclaim in surprise and excitement.
The giant silver ape had a sinister appearance, and a fierce light flickered in its blood red eyes. At this moment, it was anxiously waving its two thick arms, as if planning to rush forward and fight, but also hesitating and waiting for something.
The golden dragon and the pegasus girl seemed to only be targeting the cyclops and obviously hadn't encountered such a situation. They stood there in a daze for a moment, rapidly thinking about something.
Just as the four experts lurking in the dark were contemplating what to do, the Flame Demon Generals made of lava stood up straight from the river and charged at the cyclops.
At this moment, the cyclops didn't dare to stay here any longer. It picked up its shovel and once again took heavy steps, planning to leave the mountain valley as soon as possible and avoid the attacks of the Flame Demon Battle Generals.
Sensing the rising temperature of the Tanai, the surrounding ground rapidly cracked and all the plants and flowers withered in an extremely short amount of time. The scorching heat from the depths of the earth made Han Shuo feel extremely uncomfortable.
However, at this moment, Han Shuo instead closed his eyes and relaxed his body, as if he wanted to feel everything around him more clearly.
After a while, Han Shuo opened his eyes. His eyes sparkled as he gazed at the mountain valley that had turned into a sea of fire. He murmured, "Yes, yes, the place of extreme fire should be down there!"
