His divine sense spread out, sensing the surging blood and qi from the Giant Stone Tribe. Wu Tao was secretly astonished.
Good heavens, with such astonishing blood and qi, such immense strength, and such colossal physiques, if they were equipped with specially customized defensive armor and offensive weapons, and then organized into a disciplined giant army, the destructive power would be unimaginable.
With their robust bodies, ordinary magic artifacts and treasures would be unable to harm these giants.
A legion formed by giants wearing special armor and wielding special weapons, powered by their formidable blood and qi energy and their mountain-like bodies, could easily break through elite human armies several times their number.
Even his meticulously trained Flying Demon Wolf Army would likely be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot against these giant legions.
At this thought, Wu Tao's desire to subdue the giant race grew even stronger.
...
"Uncle Wu Zhe is back!"
"Wow, the spoils this time are truly substantial! They actually brought back the corpses of over a thousand bird-people!"
"No, look at the back. There are even Chi Mei, Ning Hu, Gui Che, Golden Winged Great Peng, Kun Peng..."
"Grand Uncle Wu, Second Uncle Wu, Fourth Uncle Wu, you are all so amazing!"
"This hunt brought back so much prey."
...
Before they even entered, a group of children, tall and sturdy, comparable to a ten-story building, rushed out in a swarm, surrounding Wu Zhe and the others, singing and dancing.
Wu Tao was truly seeing the world anew.
Each and every underage giant child was more than a hundred times taller than him.
This left Wu Tao speechless.
His height of 1.8 meters was like an ant in the eyes of these giants.
Perhaps because Wu Tao was so "short," this boisterous group of little brats showed no interest in him.
They all had their eyes fixed on the over a thousand corpses of the Heavenly Human race.
Wu Zhe and the other dozen or so adult giants couldn't help but blush when they heard the children's words.
Although these Heavenly Human race members they carried on their shoulders were killed by them, those powerful divine beasts were killed by the person before them.
These children speaking this way made them feel rather awkward.
Wu Zhe even glanced at Wu Tao secretly. Seeing that Wu Tao did not speak, he breathed a sigh of relief.
...
Wu Zhe and his party finally managed to send away this group of meddlesome little brats who enjoyed making a scene.
...
Afterward, Wu Tao and his group finally entered the Giant Stone Tribe smoothly.
At first glance, the surroundings were filled with houses built from large stones, giving a first impression of roughness and grandeur.
Whether it was the houses of ordinary giants or those of elders and leaders, they were all the same, except for their size.
As they walked, Wu Zhe and the dozen or so others enthusiastically greeted relatives and acquaintances in the tribe, receiving blessings from their kin, while also informing Wu Tao of the rules of the Giant Stone Tribe.
Despite the small population of the Giant Stone Tribe, only a little over a thousand people, their occupied area was by no means small.
The entire Giant Stone Tribe spanned two to three thousand miles from east to west and north to south.
This two to three thousand miles of land, located in the middle of the mountain range, was extremely fertile, flat, and even had a large river flowing through it.
Moreover, Wu Tao, with his keen eyes, noticed that these giants also raised a herd of extremely massive yaks.
One must know that such a fertile two to three thousand miles of land was enough to support tens of millions of people.
From this, Wu Tao could imagine how large the appetites of these giants were.
It was estimated that the food required to sustain one giant could feed a mortal population of over ten thousand.
The overall architectural style of the Giant Stone Tribe was simple and rough.
Initially, Wu Tao thought that the defenses of the Giant Stone Tribe, though simple, had some merits.
However, upon seeing the interior of the Giant Stone Tribe, Wu Tao realized he had overestimated these giants.
Perhaps because no one was responsible for planning, all the houses were built haphazardly, looking messy and quite unsightly.
The entire tribe, apart from a main thoroughfare, had almost no other road facilities.
Let alone the division of districts, even the most basic concept of individual households, rooms, and plots of land was not well-defined.
To put it this way, apart from what appeared to be the tribal council hall, nothing else was presentable.
Looking at this scene, Wu Tao secretly mused, "It seems the IQ of these giants is not very high either, otherwise, it wouldn't be like this."
As Wu Tao walked side-by-side with Wu Zhe, his group attracted curious glances from many adult giants on their way to the core council hall of the tribe.
Although with Wu Tao's current strength, destroying this small giant tribe would be a matter of turning his hand,
these giants, who were as tall as mountains, did not think so.
While these giants would not superficially assume that being "short" necessarily meant being weak,
they could never believe that the tiny figure before them was capable of destroying their entire tribe with a mere flick of his wrist.
Therefore, besides curiosity, their eyes held a hint of sympathy.
...
Wu Tao, having lived for hundreds of years, naturally understood what the sympathy in these giants' eyes meant.
Alright, in the eyes of these giants, he was not even a cripple, likely truly comparable to an ant.
Perhaps even less than an ant.
He wondered what these fellows ate to grow so tall?
Could it be that the innate bloodline of the giant race truly originated from the Three Thousand Demon Gods at the beginning of chaos, as legends say?
As they walked, Wu Tao's divine sense was fully engaged. Everywhere in the Giant Stone Tribe, except for areas protected by the giant race's formations, Wu Tao could see clearly.
In other words, the Giant Stone Tribe was completely defenseless against Wu Tao at this moment.
Of course, even if they were defended, if Wu Tao truly wanted to act, killing his way through this Giant Stone Tribe with one person and one sword would be effortless.
When Wu Zhe and the others brought Wu Tao to the tribe's council hall, Wu Tao found that the giants coming and going were all very powerful.
There were dozens of individuals comparable to human cultivators at the late stage of Core Formation, like Wu Zhe.
Coupled with the adult giants outside and the five Great Shamans comparable to human Nascent Soul cultivators,
such formidable strength was merely that of a small tribe among the giant race.
Then how strong would larger tribes be?
His Ascending Immortal Sect was probably not much stronger than a large tribe.
The strength of the giant race was much greater than he had imagined.
Could his snake-like self truly swallow this colossal elephant of the giant race?
Wu Tao thought to himself.
Wu Zhe and the others took Wu Tao to deposit the prey in the specially designated warehouse.
Afterward, Wu Zhe gave a few instructions to his subordinates and then, taking Wu Tao alone, pushed open the doors of the tribal council hall.
The moment he entered the council hall, Wu Tao's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up, clearly having discovered something.
Through the feedback from his divine sense, he knew that the five Great Shamans of the Giant Stone Tribe were all seated in the council hall.
Indeed, after a few steps, Wu Tao saw the five Great Shamans.
"Leader, Great Priest, three Elders, I'd like to introduce this young brother Wu Tao. We brothers met him during a hunt..."
"Don't be fooled by this young brother's short stature and not-so-sturdy build; his true identity would shock you to death."
"We discovered that this young brother possesses the royal bloodline of our giant race. The bloodline pressure he exudes is the strongest I have ever encountered!"
Upon hearing this, the five Great Shamans exchanged glances, and disbelief was evident on all their faces.
Seeing their expressions, Wu Tao naturally knew what the five Great Shamans were thinking.
With a slight shift in his mind, Wu Tao unleashed his astonishing bloodline aura.
The incredibly potent bloodline aura instantly startled the five Great Shamans, their expressions changing, and their brows furrowing deeply.
The atmosphere in the hall immediately became tense.
...
The tribal leader, the Great Priest, and the three Elders exchanged glances and rose simultaneously, speaking enthusiastically to Wu Tao.
"Oh my, young brother Wu Tao, we were blind and did not recognize your greatness just now. We apologize for offending you."
"We welcome you to the Giant Stone Tribe as our guest!"
It would have been better if the five Great Shamans had remained seated; once they stood up, their colossal figures were like five sky-piercing peaks.
...
"Leader, Great Priest, three Elders, you are too kind."
"Actually, I have no other intentions in coming here. I merely wish to connect with my kin."
Seeing this, Wu Tao clasped his fists and replied politely.
...
Through several rounds of conversation and probing, Wu Tao learned the names of the five Great Shamans.
The leader of the Giant Stone Tribe was named Wu Fei, the Great Priest was Wu Ming, and the three Elders were Wu Cao, Wu Pi, and Wu Zhi, respectively.
Wu Fei, Wu Ming, Wu Cao, Wu Pi, and Wu Zhi, the five Great Shamans, looked at this small figure whose identity, origin, and intentions were unknown, but whose pure giant royal bloodline was undeniable, and felt immense headaches.
If they kept him, they feared it would be like a sparrow usurping a nest, inviting a wolf into their home.
If they drove him away, they couldn't. If they expelled him, they couldn't.
Regardless of how suspicious this little figure's identity might be, the giant royal bloodline he possessed was undeniably real.
If they sent this little figure away and he spread the word,
what would happen to the reputation of their Giant Stone Tribe?
