Chapter 639: Chapter 4: Land of Giants

"Second sister, is big brother not back yet?"

Half of his body submerged in the sea, a clearly teenage-looking Longbo Giant turned his head to look at his nearby companion.

"Kid, don’t lose focus."

A female Longbo Giant slapped the back of the teenager’s head annoyedly, her voice lowered in admonishment.

They were at a critical moment in baiting the gold turtles, and she didn’t want this rash guy to scare them away.

Among the three siblings, she was the only one who was relatively smart.

Yao Xi was often annoyed by the eldest’s foolishness and the youngest’s impulsiveness.

Up to this day, Yao Xi finally understood why their mother often showed that pained expression when she was alive.

"I say, we should forget those messy ruins."

"Without the right fishing lines and nets, even if we lure the gold turtles over, what’s the use?"

Pouting defiantly, Luo Qiao really couldn’t understand everyone’s obsession with the Longbo Kingdom ruins.

Even knowing it’s a futile task, big brother, second sister, and everyone else tirelessly baited nests during the turtles’ breeding season.

"Because only in this way, we won’t forget we’re Long Bo People."

Gazing deeply at her younger brother, Yao Xi’s voice was exceptionally somber.

Unfortunately, her words were too obscure for Luo Qiao, who couldn’t grasp the underlying message.

"Watch out!"

Suddenly raising his voice, Luo Qiao lunged at Yao Xi like lightning.

The next moment, the nearby sea surface suddenly surged, and a gigantic island slowly emerged from beneath the ocean.

And wrapped around the island’s surface were enormous chains.

The ends of those chains held minerals resembling gold, forming an enormous net-like structure.

Squeak!

Before Luo Qiao and Yao Xi could get up,

The giant net emitted a piercing sound of metal stress.

The whole net was forcibly tightened, revealing a chain that strung through the sea.

"Why did it come so fast this time?"

Staring in shock at the taut iron net, Yao Xi instinctively opened her mouth wide.

She and Luo Qiao hadn’t had time to anchor in this sea area, and the remaining few anchors couldn’t possibly trap this gold turtle.

"This is no time to think about that!"

Without hesitation, Luo Qiao grabbed Yao Xi to move away from this dangerous place.

Because aside from the insufficient anchors, the giant net surely couldn’t trap the gold turtle.

Boom!

Almost as if answering Luo Qiao’s words,

With a thunderous explosion, those taut chains suddenly snapped.

Luckily, Luo Qiao reacted swiftly and wasn’t hit by the fracturing chains.

Otherwise, even with the Longbo Giants’ physique, it would surely lead to no good result.

"Ooh!"

Right then, a muffled moan suddenly emanated from underwater.

Next, a golden turtle head emerged from beneath the island, its long whiskers fluttering with the wind.

Although not highly intelligent, the gold turtle certainly held grudges.

Seeing Luo Qiao and Yao Xi, it even abandoned its favorite "gold paste," rushing at them with its mouth open.

......................................................

"It’s the sound of the gold turtle!"

Not far from the sea area, several other Longbo Giants also heard the gold turtle’s roar.

Each Longbo Giant had an extended lifespan, making it hard to gauge their age by appearance.

But these Longbo Giants here were evidently elders.

All had white hair, with mountain-like wrinkles on their brows.

"It’s bad, it’s where Luo Qiao and Yao Xi are!"

The eldest among them was the first to react, his face instantly changing color.

In the current Longbo Giant community, Luo Qiao and his siblings were the youngest individuals and the hope for the entire species’s future.

If anything happened to them, these old fellows couldn’t possibly sustain their kind alone.

"I said they shouldn’t have acted alone!"

One of the Longbo Giants lamented, then rushed over without hesitation.

During the process, the originally massive Longbo Giant body floated over the water, seemingly walking on it.

This defiance of the most basic physical laws was, naturally, because they were not ordinary mortals.

Visible Qi surged around them...

The Qi reserve, even more absurd than the Three-Eyed Holy Demon’s, transformed into a stellar battle and soared to the sky...

This was the essence of the Longbo Giants, bringing more than just physical strength with their colossal form.

A little practice of the "Breathing Technique," and the Life Essence Qi within would become tangible power, crushing anything blocking their path.

"Follow, if necessary, at all costs!"

A slight eyebrow twitch, the elder then instructed those beside him.

Hearing "at all costs," the other Longbo Giants noticeably hesitated.

"Including killing those gold turtles?"

Whether due to longstanding education or the Longbo Kingdom ruins those gold turtles bore...

Made the Longbo Giants feel restrained, unable to unleash their full power confronting the gold turtles.

"I do wish to retain the ruins of Longbo Kingdom."

"But it’s to ensure our descendants don’t forget our past, not for them to sacrifice for it."

With a deep gaze, he scanned the surroundings, his tone distant and solemn.

"If the heavens truly wish to doom Longbo Kingdom, let it vanish!"

"As long as the children are safe, they’ll eventually create a new Longbo Kingdom."

Receiving the elder’s affirmation, the remaining Longbo Giants no longer hesitated, surfacing and walking on waves.

"Hoo..."

Watching the departure of the Longbo Giants, the elder sighed lightly.

This breath echoed with the sound of wind and thunder.

The surrounding seawater was pushed away rapidly by an invisible force.

At this moment, the elder standing in this water was no longer an elder, but once the High Priest of Longbo Kingdom.

Before the East Sea God fell, this High Priest was the Gods’ will’s spokesman.

"Great God, may you protect them!"

Just a spontaneous chant, the High Priest never expected the Gods to respond.

What surprised him was, after this chant, the surrounding displaced seawater suddenly surged.

Following closely was a will that made the High Priest feel exceedingly familiar.

"You... are indeed alive!"

Wide-eyed in amazement, tears unconsciously flowed from the High Priest’s eyes.
