Chapter 170: The giant’s hard work

This kind of one eyed human shaped giant monster had reddish brown skin with a rough rock like texture. Their muscles were very bulky and seemed incredibly strong, and they were wearing cooking apron like armour on their lower bodies. Their giant feet only had three toes and most of them had weapons in their hands.

In the era Chu Tian had lived in.

These kinds of monsters had been exterminated over ten thousand years ago.

Cyclopes were known as cave dwelling people who had beast like intelligence while being in human form. They had low intelligence, but they still had special capabilities. Because of their cruel natures, they were very aggressive!

Chu Tian shouted, “Be careful of their eyes!”

It was too late because the cyclopes had already released a strong cold light from their eyes. Nangong Yun and Yun Yao were prepared to fight back, but once the light shined on them, they felt a kind of spirit energy fill their minds that froze their bodies, almost as if they had been petrified.

“This is bad!”

“I can’t move!”

This was one of the innate skills of the cyclopes, they could release a paralyzing ray. The paralyzing effect did not come from them, but rather their spirit energy, which would make a person lose control of their own body. But this power was transferred through light, so if one closed their eyes and did not look at the light, they would not be paralyzed.

No other way!

He could only fight!

The little fox spat out a red needle that pierced through a cyclops’ head, instantly killing him.

The netherworld sword was enveloped in blue and white flames, which turned into a streak of flaming sword glow that shot at the cyclopes. It instantly chopped off a cyclops’ head.

There were a lot of cyclopes, but their strength was quite normal.

They had strength around the 3rd Awakened Soul Layer and had no cultivation techniques. They could only use their innate skills to fight, so they were not very strong.

Sou!

A cyclops’ arrow flew by.

Dang!

This arrow slammed into Chu Tian’s shoulder and pulled him out of his concealed state!

The cyclopes’ eyes were very special, not only could they release a special attack, they could also see through illusion techniques. With Chu Tian’s current cultivation base, he could not trick the cyclopes’ eyes.

It was a good thing he had the Immortal Body.

Otherwise Chu Tian would have been heavily injured!

With two more cyclopes charging forward, Chu Tian quickly raised his sword to block them. The moment the hammer smashed down, the surrounding ground sunk down and formed a hole.

It was a good thing this was a normal soldier.

Otherwise he would have been destroyed in just two hits.

“Scram!”

The Demon God’s Sword was released into the sky and a fierce aura forced the cyclopes back two steps. The sword glow increased in intensity by several folds and two cyclopes’ head fell to the ground.

Nangong Yun and Yun Yao felt their bodies slowly recover, “Let’s go together!”

Nangong Yun also released her Immortal Body and charges forward with closed eyes, like a blazing fireball, she knocked aside three-four cyclopes. She grabbed a cyclops with both hands and threw him several meters away, smashing a giant hole in the ground.

Yun Yao and Feng Caidie attacked from a distance, providing cover with ranged attacks.

Yun Xiao, Lin Mu, and Fang Han were very weak, so they did not dare to rashly charge into the fierce cyclopes, so they could only guard Yun Yao and Feng Caidie, helping them block the cyclopes’ arrows. When a cyclops charged forward, the three of them grouped up against it.

The seven of them fought against the cyclopes that outnumbered them ten to one.

Although it was very tiring, they still managed to hang on.

At this moment, from the passageway in front of them, there was the scream of cyclopes once again. There were several cyclopes charging over like hungry wolves, preparing to join the battle.

Nangong Yun knocked down a cyclops and sat down on him, turning his head to paste.

A burst of wind shot forth and a hammer hit Nangong Yun’s back.

The starlight layer shattered and Nangong Yun was sent flying several meters. The four-five cyclopes wanted to charge forward, but a large mass of sword qi and lightning shot out and knocked the cyclopes flying back. Nangong Yun seized this chance and restored most of the starlight barrier. She jumped up and kicked out, sending a cyclops’ head into his chest.

“We can’t kill them all! There are too many of them!”

When she saw the reinforcement cyclopes come forth, she revealed a helpless look.

These fierce cyclopes were too strong and it was already hard for them to deal with a ten to one scenario. Now that there was another group coming over, how could they deal with them?

But.

They had no path of escape either.

They were completely surrounded by cyclopes and they definitely could not retreat. There were giants waiting behind them, each one as fierce as a hundred cyclopes!

“Zhi, zhi!”

The little fox stood up and jumped out. Turning into mist in the air, it suddenly disappeared. Almost at the same moment, the little fox appeared in front of the cyclopes support team that just came, and its four claws slashed the face of the cyclops standing in the front.

The cyclops roared wildly as he slapped at his face, resulting in him slapping himself and knocking himself to the ground. The little fox turned into mist again and then appeared on the face of a second cyclops, using its claw to stab his eye.

“Ao!”

The cyclops was enraged and attacked it with a palm.

Pa!

His head began to bleed!

Another cyclops had knocked itself to the ground.

The little fox used this strange movement technique to harass each of the cyclopes once. Immediately, the cyclopes were all filled with rage and brandished their weapons as they chased the little fox around.

“Zhi, zhi!”

The little fox led the large group of cyclopes as it danced around the large space. While it was dancing around, it gave Chu Tian a look telling him to hurry it up.

Chu Tian gave a laugh, “Little fellow, good job! Help me distract them for a minute!”

The others did not think that this little fox would be able to distract these cyclopes at the most crucial moment, giving them this precious chance to catch their breaths. They were lucky that the cyclopes had low intelligence. If they were even a little smarter, they wouldn’t be paying any attention to this little fellow.

Chu Tian and Nangong Yun rushed into the cyclopes’ ranks.

Feng Caidie and Yun Yao attacked from a distance while Yun Xiao and the other two supported them.

The cyclopes fell one by one to the ground and the pressure on them slowly faded. They combined their power to take care of the other cyclopes.

At this moment, the little fox was dancing around the cyclopes and there were several that were bleeding, with some being heavily injured. They didn’t know whether to laugh or cry because those that had been heavily injured did that to themselves.

“Let’s go!”

After a few rounds of fighting.

The cyclopes all fell to the ground.

“You have successfully destroyed a giant hard labour team! You have been awarded three trial points! You currently have one hundred and forty eight trial points!”

“You have successfully destroyed a giant hard labour team! You have been awarded two trial points! You currently have one hundred and fifty trial points!”

On everyone’s trial necklaces, the glowing number began to change and they all increased a bit.

The two cyclopes teams had been completely destroyed and Chu Tian gained five points, Nangong Yun gained four points, Yun Yao and Feng Caidie gained three points, and Yun Xiao and the others all gained twenty points.

How stingy! A single cube puzzle gave twenty points!

Of course to the designer of the trial, solving the cube puzzle was harder than defeating one of the armoured giants! In this trial, everything they did could earn them trial points, but how much they gained all depended on the difficulty of the task!

Yun Xiao said with a surprised voice, “Look! The cyclopes’ bodies are disappearing!”

The cyclopes’ bodies turned transparent as they began to slowly disappear.

This was not strange at all.

For this kind of trial space, it was impossible for it to be real. It was a mix of illusions and reality, meaning the cyclopes and giants were all illusions created by the trial space’s illusion array.

“Yi! They seemed to have left something good!” Yun Xiao walked to where the giants disappeared and picked up a bronze key.

“There’s another one here!” Nangong Yun went to where the second group of cyclopes had come from and picked up another bronze key.

Yun Yao was not surprised as she explained, “Those are spoils of war! After a fight in the trial space, there is a certain chance to obtain a spoil of war. It could be Elixirs, weapons, or an item that could be used in the trial space.”

“What use does this key have?”

“There will be random treasure chests that appear in the trial space and that key will open a corresponding treasure chest.”

Nangong Yun held the key with a curious look on her face. This seemed a little interesting! She never thought that the person who designed the trial space would have this kind of talent for fun!

“We shouldn’t stay here long, let’s quickly leave this area.”

There were two pathways.

One was where the cyclopes came from and the other led to an unknown place. After discussing it, they decided that it would be better to go down the path the cyclopes came from.

The cyclopes were tough, but that did not mean they couldn’t be dealt with.

The cyclopes were regarded by the trial space as “giant hard labour,” which meant that in this trial space, the cyclopes were the lowest grade monsters. There was no safe area in the trial space and there were too many unknown passages, so they might as well enter the den of the giant’s hard labour force.

When they passed through the long corridor, a large palace appeared in front of them.

This palace was around the size of the Central State City’s square and the floor was covered in rocks and wood. There were hundreds of cyclopes transporting the materials to the center, where they seemed to be constructing some sort of tall tower.

The tower was already half complete.

When Chu Tian looked over, he suddenly revealed a look of pleasant surprise.

“It’s Starlight Stones!”

“There are several large Starlight Stones embedded to the top of the tower!”

Nangong Yun noted the gems at the top of the tower that seemed to glow like stars. This starlight energy was very familiar because she had extracted it from the Meteor Grass before.

Only the starlight energy extracted from the Meteor Grass was very weak.

“The starlight energy contained within this Starlight Stone is around the amount in about a hundred thousand pieces of Meteor Grass!” Chu Tian’s eyes suddenly started to burn, “These stones would be enough to increase our «Starlight Immortal Body» from the Small Success Glass Body Realm to the Diamond Body Realm!”

Nangong Yun’s body trembled.

If it really were like this, those stones were priceless treasures for them. Even if they obtained nothing else from the trial, just getting these Starlight Stones would mean that this trip was not wasted!
