Just as Joe was about to say something cool, he slipped and fell off the barren giant.
It was only then that he realized it wasn't blood that splashed all over him, but something sticky and slippery like oil.
The barren giant only had a sliver of HP left, and the players were fighting over it.
The barren giant had lost all will to fight, and ran towards the cliff as if it wanted the mountain bandits to help stall the players.
But the sharp-eyed players (mainly the rangers) suddenly noticed that the bandits' hideout on the other side of the cliff was already empty, they didn't know when the bandits had climbed up the cliff, but they were already running away.
That's right, they never had any intention of helping the barren giant.
It wasn't hard to understand the bandits' decision, in their eyes, their barren giant was invincible, it could even defeat the Sacred Army.
It was this impression that gave them the courage to do whatever they wanted, but when the players used a series of extreme maneuvers to force the barren giant to flee, the myth of the barren giant's invincibility in their hearts was naturally shattered, along with their pathetic courage.
The reason why none of the bandits came out to help the barren giant was simple, even Xi Wei, the God of Games, couldn't completely turn off friendly damage, and the Lord of the Peaks was even more helpless. And for a monster like the barren giant, even a stomp of its foot was an AOE attack, if the bandits really came out to help, they would most likely be wiped out before the players could even make a move …
Of course, the players could understand, but the barren giant, as the monster in question, felt differently.
Abandoned by the people it trusted, it was filled with rage and resentment.
It let out a wail that sounded like a steam whistle, losing almost all will to live. Instead, it used all its strength to crash into the cliff. Its body, which weighed almost a thousand tons, was like a terrible meteorite from outer space, directly smashing the bandits' stronghold into pieces!
The cliff itself wasn't sturdy enough to take a hit like that without a scratch, almost ten seconds after the bandits' hideout was destroyed, the entire cliff began to crumble, the bandits who were running in all directions couldn't escape the collapse, and were almost all buried alive under the rubble!
Half of the barren giant's body was also buried, only the neck and half a shoulder were visible, and it lay there on the brink of death.
Charle, who was chosen by the Players to deal the final blow, stood in front of it. After all, Charle's experience of dying dozens of times was too tragic …
Unlike the other players who were laughing and joking about completing their quest, the Barren Giant was bleeding pus (oil?) Charle, who was staring at him with its huge eyes, could feel the unwillingness and sadness from the other party.
He didn't want to say anything to avenge himself. He just said seriously, "In your next life, find a good master."
With that, he plunged his sword into the barren giant's eye, killing it for good.
In the next instant, almost all the players who participated in the battle glowed with the light of leveling up.
But what the players didn't expect was that the Barren Giant that was killed by the players would disappear as well, and the place where it was buried by the rubble turned into an empty hole, causing another avalanche of rubble. This time, the number of players injured increased by another level …
What was even more frustrating was that the Barren Giant's equipment and loot were all buried under the rubble, and they still had to dig them out.
But after digging out a bunch of excellent equipment from the rubble, this job became both painful and joyful at the same time.
And this joy reached a climax after they dug out the golden Legendary-level sword called the Giant's Toe.
Almost all the players were engaged in a heated discussion about who the equipment should belong to.
In the end, the players decided to give the first legendary weapon from the God of Games to Charle based on the two categories of 'highest damage output' and 'highest damage absorption'.
"Ah …" Looking at the other players who were busy digging, Terry suddenly looked as if he had thought of something. "Lu Xing …"
But before he could finish, Jom covered his mouth. "Shh! Get ready to run now! "
Actually, Jom's initial guess wasn't wrong, there was indeed a birdcage in the bandit hideout (similar to a stable for raising chocobos), but with the entire hideout being smashed to smithereens by the Barren Giant, the chocobos obviously wouldn't be able to survive.
After standing the other players up twice in a row, Jom felt that if he waited for the other players to realize what was going on, he would most likely be defeated, so it was better to retreat first.
After all, he and Terry were going to explore the Trinia Forests anyway, running into the mountain bandits was just an interlude … At least he wouldn't be returning to the town before the other players forgot about the fact that he had screwed them over.
Terry let out a muffled groan and nodded hurriedly. He didn't really care what he was going to do next, and he didn't want to use his brain either, so he just left all the brainwork to Jom. He just felt that if Jom didn't let go, he would have to hand over his first kill in the battle to Jom.
Just as the two of them were about to sneak away, Jom suddenly saw the gray dog sitting alone on the hill of rubble.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally walked up to the dog and asked, "Now that you've avenged your master, do you want to go on an adventure with us?"
The gray dog tilted its head and stared at Jom for a moment, then at the smirking Terry, and after a long while, it slowly wagged its tail.
Jom couldn't help but smile at that.
"Let's give it a name." Terry also came over, "Let's call it Sh * t Kiviak the Beast!"
The dog bared its teeth at him and let out a warning growl.
"It likes it." Terry lied through his teeth.
"Why does it smell so bad …" Jom rubbed the dog's head with a straight face, "Because I don't know your old name, from today onwards, you'll be called Pikes!"
Gou 'zi answered very simply.
"Woof."
"Alright, let's keep it a secret …" With everything ready, Jom took Terry and the dog and planned to sneak away while the other players were busy digging for equipment and items.
[Ding! Player Jom has obtained his first pet. The System will activate the 'Pets' and 'Mounts' system in ten minutes, all players please take note.]

Jom's entire body froze, he slowly turned his head and noticed that every player's gaze was on him.
He could only force an ugly and forced smile.
