The martial world is full of dangers.

Chapter 572 The Giant King's Capital

The power emanating from that person was immense, his senses incredibly sharp, and what was even more intriguing, he wasn't one of the Giant race.

Standing in the sky, watching the bronze carriage gradually disappear from view, the man spoke indifferently, "He did discover us just now..."

"To be able to detect the aura you emit, Yu Tiansheng, this likely surpasses the level of a Great Shaman."

Perched on Yu Tiansheng's shoulder, the miniature three-legged Golden Crow responded, "Such an existence, for your pet to fall into his hands is not entirely without reason."

"To think that just by coming here to scout the Giants' true strength, we'd encounter a powerhouse of this caliber."

At this point, Yu Tiansheng, whose expression had been impassive, finally showed a flicker of emotion.

"Should we perhaps change our location? I'm not confident I can eliminate him without making a sound!"

...

"Then let's change our location," the three-legged Golden Crow stated.

...

"Speaking of which, the Giants seem to be preparing to blood sacrifice the Sun-Slaying Divine Bow again."

Looking at the three-legged Golden Crow on his shoulder, Yu Tiansheng said with a hint of mockery, "How about you go and witness such an exciting event..."

"After all, it is a top-tier spirit treasure that slew several of your ancestors."

...

Hearing Yu Tiansheng's words, the three-legged Golden Crow's eyes narrowed, and an intense heat was suddenly released, clearly provoked.

"You don't need to mock me, as if none of your ancestors ever died by this Sun-Slaying Divine Bow!"

"Once, the entire Yun Province belonged solely to us three-legged Golden Crows."

"If not for the rise of the Human race in ancient times, after defeating your Celestial race and the Giant race in succession, your ancestors would not have fled to Yun Province for refuge."

"It's laughable that after we, the noble three-legged Golden Crow clan, mercifully accepted you into Yun Province, you, like stray dogs, repaid kindness with treachery and betrayed us..."

Faced with Yu Tiansheng's sarcasm, the three-legged Golden Crow retorted without politeness.

...

Hearing this, Yu Tiansheng let out a cold laugh and replied equally unceremoniously.

"Bullshit, what kindness? Your Golden Crow clan back then was merely coveting the treasures left behind by my Celestial race and the Giant race."

"What you never expected was that your Golden Crow clan couldn't defeat my Celestial race and the Giant race."

"It was your extreme foolishness to invite wolves into the house, and such a consequence is entirely deserved."

The man and the crow bickered for a while longer, but after some time, they both calmed down.

After a long pause, the three-legged Golden Crow said, "Forget it, I won't argue with you. After all, our two races are currently allies."

...

"Hmph, good that you know. Our mission this time is very important."

"We must thoroughly investigate the Giants' true strength this time, so that our alliance can provide accurate intelligence for the joint offensive against the Giants."

...

"That's why you should listen to me. My race's Golden Crow Zhu Rong technique can shield us from the Giants' shamanic probes," the three-legged Golden Crow stated calmly and indifferently.

"I hope you don't disappoint me."

Yu Tiansheng, who had been conversing with the three-legged Golden Crow, raised his head, looked at the distant disappearing carriage, and turned directly, walking in another direction.

On the other side.

Wu Tao was also lost in thought, his brow furrowed, clearly pondering something deeply.

He had indeed sensed a very subtle aura outside earlier.

Although the other party had concealed it well, under the gaze of the Dream Eye on Wu Tao's forehead, a flaw was still revealed, and Wu Tao caught hold of it.

...

Because the other party's strength was too great, and coupled with Wu Ming's presence beside him, the other party did not trouble him at that time, and Wu Tao had no intention of troubling the other party.

He planned to find an opportunity to inform the high-ranking officials of the Giant race about this matter.

After all, in the end, the Giants were the true rulers here, and any invaders or other issues should be handled by them.

...

Among the Giants, blood sacrifice held a position of great importance; even a young Giant knew of this ritual.

The blood sacrifice was regarded as a gift from their ancestors by countless Giants, holding a sacred status within the Giant race.

Whether one's child or fellow tribesman could participate in the blood sacrifice was an important criterion for the Giants in measuring the strength of a tribe.

Generally, only the children of Great Shamans were qualified to participate in the blood sacrifice.

Therefore, Wu Zhe and Wu Hong attached great importance to Wu Tao and Wu Ming participating in the blood sacrifice this time, considering it an extremely glorious event, and extensively publicized it within the Great Stone Tribe.

As time passed, the enormous bronze carriage, pulled by Kirin, gradually advanced towards the Giant royal capital.

Under the deterrence of adult Kirin, ordinary demonic beasts and divine beasts dared not provoke them.

Only the occasional encounter with some more belligerent divine beasts, such as Taotie, Niuzhen, and Guiche, proved troublesome.

These divine beasts did not possess high intelligence; they cared not whether their opponent was strong or not, and any creature that appeared before them was food.

However, with Wu Tao guarding them, these divine beasts naturally couldn't cause any significant trouble.

Thus, after several days.

Wu Tao and Wu Ming finally arrived at the royal capital of the Giant Kingdom.

The capital, built from countless giant stones inlaid with shamanic script, towered higher than the sky, presenting itself before the two.

As soon as he saw this massive royal capital, Wu Tao's divine sense involuntarily reached out.

But as his vast divine sense probed into the city walls, it was like hitting a black hole; upon approaching, it was sucked in and vanished in an instant.

...

"Truly interesting!"

Seeing his outward divine sense being completely absorbed, Wu Tao immediately withdrew all of it.

The next second, Wu Tao opened the Nightmare Eye on his forehead.

From the perspective of the Nightmare Eye, the entire Giant royal capital was shrouded in darkness, as if not a single ray of light existed.

In this capital, the Great Daos of "time" and "space" seemed to be rendered ineffective, giving an unfathomable impression.

As Wu Tao increased the spiritual energy infused into the Nightmare Eye, he perceived more.

"Tsk tsk, so that's how it is. What a grand undertaking."

This Giant royal capital was vastly different from other cities Wu Tao had seen before, shimmering with extraordinary power.

The forces symbolizing laws caused Wu Tao's pupils to contract slightly.

"What a unique royal capital. I wonder what the builders were thinking, to have integrated a small world into this royal capital."

"Such an imaginative, bold, and even insane idea, yet it actually succeeded, truly a miracle..."

"I truly wish to witness the Giant who built this royal capital back then, to see what kind of magnificent presence he was."

...

Stepping out of the carriage, Wu Tao gazed at the Giant royal capital and couldn't help but exclaim, his gaze filled with increasing solemnity.

The city before him was the largest city Wu Tao had ever seen.

Neither Tongguan City in the underground world nor Chang'an City in the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty on the Purple Continent could compare in size.

Perhaps in other aspects, this Giant royal capital couldn't match Chang'an City of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, but in terms of safety and defense, it was also a top-tier, heavily fortified city of its time.

"Hey, who are you guys? How do you have such a cool carriage? And the divine beast pulling it is actually an adult Kirin!"

A voice sounded from the side.

A giantess several thousand zhang tall lowered her head and bent down to speak to Wu Tao and Wu Ming.

This gregarious giantess was quite beautiful, with long black hair cascading down, a delicate appearance, and two shallow dimples that appeared on her face when she smiled.

...

"Little girl, who are you?"

Hearing the giantess's words, Wu Tao raised an eyebrow slightly and didn't answer, instead asking a question.

...

The giantess's smile remained unchanged, looking at Wu Tao with great interest, a hint of endless curiosity flashing in her eyes.

"You're really interesting. You're so small, yet you have the nerve to call me a little girl."

Hearing the giantess's somewhat playful words, Wu Tao shook his head and said, "A person cannot be judged by their appearance, just as the sea cannot be measured by a dipper. A person's age and abilities are not determined solely by their height."

...

"What you're saying does have some logic. Someone who can subdue an adult Kirin calling me a little girl is indeed not wrong."

The giantess surprisingly nodded upon hearing Wu Tao's words, a hint of slyness flashing in her eyes.

Hearing the giantess's words, Wu Tao's lips curved slightly. He then asked, "How did you know this Kirin pulling the carriage was subdued by me?"

The giantess chuckled, smoothed her hair, and said, "Although Kirin are relatively gentle among divine beasts, their temper is arrogant. If their master is not present, it would absolutely not be this quiet."

"And besides you, there's only an underage brat nearby."

"An underage brat could never subdue an adult Kirin, so if it's not you, who else could it be."

...

Wu Tao found this giantess quite interesting and chatted with her casually.

Through their conversation, Wu Tao learned the name and origin of the giantess.

This giantess was named Wu Remu, and she was also here to participate in the blood sacrifice.

As the date of the blood sacrifice approached, many tribes were bringing their outstanding younger generation to participate in this ritual.

Wu Remu before him was a genius from a certain tribe, and according to her, she was born into a great tribe.
