Chapter 328 Facing the Giants

The mountain giant tore a piece of fur from the shadow leopard's corpse and stuffed it into the wound on his back without hesitation.

The acid rain and pus clinging to the shadow leopard's fur caused its wounds to burn with excruciating pain, and its fierce face twitched involuntarily at the corners of its eyes. However, it did not back down; instead, it roared even more ferociously, as if the pain only excited it more.

Then he tore a branch off the giant tree and wrapped it around his back with vines.

"This guy is really ruthless. Even in this state, he still wants to fight us?" Su Li's lips twitched as she watched the mountain giant's actions. "My god, it looks painful."

“We’re both at the Iron level, so it’s normal for them to look down on us.” Sun Lili cracked her knuckles, a glint of fighting spirit flashing in her eyes. “In the eyes of beasts, level suppression equals victory. But I’m a little curious, just how strong is this guy?”

"It's definitely bigger than yours, don't even think about wrestling," Sun Keke complained from the side. "You're so timid and a battle maniac, how are you like a magical girl?"

“A magical girl in a late-night show is still a magical girl.” Sun Lili shrugged dismissively.

Song Mingyu was panting heavily, his face somewhat pale. "This time, I can only help you heal. Activating plant growth inside a silver-level monster consumed too much magic energy. I currently have 14.71% of my magic energy reserves, and my magic energy meridians are fatigued. It's not advisable to output too much magic energy in the short term." After saying this, he threw a magic energy spring on the ground and began to slowly recover his magic energy.

"Huh?" Su Li was taken aback, and couldn't help but mentally complain, [Wait, your magic energy statistics are accurate to two decimal places? Doesn't my description of it as 'one or two percent' make me seem really stupid?]

However, due to the urgency of the situation, Su Li suppressed her urge to complain.

He quickly assessed his physical condition and found that the internal injuries he had sustained when he was grabbed by the Titan Eagle's claws had almost fully recovered thanks to Song Mingyu's treatment, and his overall condition was quite good. However, due to using the Lunar Eclipse form, his internal energy channels were somewhat overloaded.

Furthermore, having just used the Moonlit Form, the greatsword has now transformed into the Sunlit Form, making it unable to use the Moonlit Sword form again for a short period. If it were to use the Eclipse Form, it could only sustain the form for a maximum of 13 seconds.

Su Li quickly removed his tattered cloak and put on a new acid-resistant one. He gripped his greatsword tightly and looked solemnly at the mountain giant.

At this moment, the mountain giant already held the tree heart in its hand, emerald green light shimmering in its palm. It suddenly raised the tree heart high, and the tree heart instantly released a strong energy fluctuation, transforming into a beam of green light that shot directly towards Su Li and his group.

This surprised Su Li and the others. A magical attack?

However, upon sensing the magical fluctuations, Su Li overturned her previous thought. This was not a spellcasting ability, but the ability to activate and control weapons. The spell was cast by the tree heart, not the giant.

[This mountain giant actually possesses weapon-related abilities?] Su Li was genuinely surprised; such abilities are extremely rare. This meant that this mountain giant had the potential to evolve into a subspecies like a warrior or swordsman.

"Watch out!" Su Li shouted, quickly dodging. The beam of light grazed his body, struck the ground behind him, and instantly blasted a deep crater.

The mountain giant continued to hold up the tree heart, but this time, it did not release any beams of light. This relieved Su Li.

The mountain giant did not stop its attack despite its previous setback; instead, it became even more ferocious. It roared to the sky, and its massive body leaped up like a mountain descending from the heavens, wielding the tree heart in its hand with unparalleled power, and smashed it down on Su Li and his group.

Su Li and her two companions reacted swiftly. As the core of the melee combat, they pressed forward without hesitation, protecting Sun Keke, Song Mingyu, and Sophia behind them. Against such heavily armored warriors, they couldn't allow them to easily penetrate their backline.

Sun Keke quickly cast a spell, applying a resistance reduction skill to the giant.

The mountain giant's leaping strike was powerful and destructive, clearly not something to be taken head-on. Su Li, Ivan, and Sun Lili quickly spread out, with Ivan in the center and Su Li and Sun Lili on the left and right, forming a triangular formation.

"boom!"

The tree trunk crashed heavily to the ground, sending up a wave of mud and acid rain mixed with soil flying everywhere. Although Su Li and the other two avoided the direct impact, they were still shaken off their feet by the aftershocks.

"Come on, you big oaf, open your eyes wide!" Ivan seized the opportunity, raised his longsword, and the blade suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light, like a small sun exploding in front of the giant.

"Ah!" The giant instinctively closed his eyes, the intense light temporarily blinding him.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Li and Sun Lili quickly approached the giant's ankles from either side, their weapons aimed directly at its tendons. However, just as they were about to succeed, the giant slammed down with both hands, protecting its ankles.

With two muffled thuds, the giant's palms slammed heavily into the ground, blocking Su Li and Sun Lili's attacks. Clearly, this giant was not just brute force; it also possessed rich combat experience and was well aware of its weaknesses.

"So fast!" Su Li was startled. The giant had always shown strength, never such a swift reaction speed.

Although the giant kept its eyes closed, it did not panic. It pressed its hands to the ground, and with a sudden burst of power, its massive body spun around twice. The mud and acid rain kicked up by its paws swept around like a storm, forcing Su Li and the other two to temporarily avoid its attack and retreat quickly.

After the spinning stopped, the giant slowly opened its eyes. Although the dazzling light had made it dizzy, it stubbornly relied on its powerful fighting instincts to push Su Li and his group back several steps, despite the discomfort.

At that moment, the giant's gaze was fixed on Ivan, the culprit who had temporarily blinded it. Its right hand was raised high, and the tree trunk, whipped up by a fierce wind, slammed down towards Ivan.

"boom!"

Ivan raised his shield and took the blow head-on. The immense impact caused his legs to sink, his legs below the knees sinking into the mud. He groaned, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth, clearly suffering a serious internal injury.

However, the giant's attack was not over. Its second punch followed immediately, smashing towards Ivan with even more ferocious force.

At the critical moment, Su Li and Sun Lili arrived at the same time, and their weapons struck the giant's elbow, forcing its attack to deviate from its course.

"How are you?" Su Li landed from mid-air and quickly helped Ivan up, asking with concern.

"It's nothing, I just didn't expect it to be so fast." Ivan coughed up blood, regained his footing, and his injuries were rapidly healing with Song Mingyu's help. "I'll distract it!"

Many people, influenced by movies and television shows, believe that larger creatures are slower. However, this is not the case. Some creatures, while enormous in size, possess astonishing strength; great strength translates to greater explosive power, naturally resulting in greater speed. Clearly, the mountain giant before us is this type.

Just as the giant was preparing to attack again, Sophia pulled the trigger from a distance. An enchanted bullet shot through the air, striking the giant precisely in the body. The mental damage contained in the bullet caused the giant to clutch its head in agony, letting out a shrill roar.
