Within minutes of the exchange, dozens of giants were injured in the chaos!

Kuangfeng saw this scene from afar, and when he saw He Jinqiu in the crowd, he was so angry that his hair and beard stood on end.

But then he took a deep breath, and the surrounding flames were drawn into his mouth like a tornado, materializing into a flaming spear in his palm.

"wind!"

(kill!)

But then he threw it with all his might, and the flaming spear arrived in an instant, piercing through four B-level gene warriors before reaching He Jinqiu!

He Jinqiu turned his body slightly to the side, and the flaming spear grazed his nose and slammed into the tree trunk behind him, causing his hair to curl due to the high temperature.

In an instant, enormous flames enveloped the giant tree, and its canopy transformed into torches in the night.

"wind!"

(You betrayed us!)

He Jinqiu was speechless. His alliance with the giants was now useless, but he couldn't leave Bolton unattended!

With so many people around, he couldn't explain the situation to Kuangfeng!

There is no way out.

It's midnight!

But then He Jinqiu slightly raised his right hand, flicked his fingertips, and all nine jade heart swords hummed out from the tip of his index finger.

The sharp Jade Heart Sword moved swiftly through the camp, passing through the bodies of giants and piercing their leg muscles and bones.

In the Giants Force, apart from Gale, everyone else is at the B-rank strength. They don't need gene injections or training; they only need to eat and sleep well to become exceptionally ferocious and are guaranteed to awaken their racial talents.

Once these giants recovered from their initial surprise, they immediately routed the gene warriors.

But they encountered He Jinqiu, one of the top masters in the world!

The nine jade heart swords were nowhere to be found, like antelope horns hanging from a tree.

A giant tried to grab a jade heart sword with his bare hands, but the sword was too sharp and sliced off the giant's hand.

Qing Chen's heart skipped a beat. Boss He was exceptionally ruthless at this moment. In order to gain the trust of the Fifth Princess and Marquis Bolton, he showed no mercy to his former allies.

He even regretted revealing his identity to the other party. When such a ruthless person starts to use any means necessary, it's terrifying!

At one point, he became curious. According to Zheng Yuandong's description, this Boss He had once been full of enthusiasm, inspiring his comrades like a sun.

What exactly happened to the other person to become like this?

At this moment, He Jinqiu had single-handedly, in coordination with the gene warriors, completed the battlefield suppression.

Qing Chen had already opened the cover on the tracked vehicle and looked at the trembling Marquis Bolton inside: "My lord, the Third Division has been attacked, and we have come to rescue you."

Marquis Bolton scrambled out, tears streaming down his face, "Butler, you've finally arrived! Thank goodness you were here, or my wife would be a widow! And He, He is simply amazing! You are my saviors!"

Qing Chen comforted him, "The giants' offensive has been temporarily halted."

Bolton looked at the battlefield and said excitedly, "When you brought these experts here, my wife said you were making enemies for me. Now that I think about it, if it weren't for these people, I would have died here."

Putting everything else aside, the more than two hundred gene warriors made a great contribution; otherwise, Qing Chen and He Jinqiu would have had no choice but to run away if they had encountered hundreds of giants.

The wind roared, "Wind!"

(Retreat, take your people with you, I'll cover you!)

The next moment, Kuangfeng's hair burst into flames, and his eyes turned bloodshot, as if lava was flowing from his eye sockets.

His head was engulfed in flames.

Giants as imposing as mountains hurled flaming spears, turning the once dark Forbidden Forest into a sea of fire.

If Qing Chen almost thought he had met Kuafu when he first saw Ding Dong, then at this moment, he felt that this raging wind was like Zhu Rong, the god of fire in mythology!

It felt like he was fighting against a god! Even He Jinqiu had to temporarily retreat!

Unfortunately, Gale's state did not last long. As the giant carried his people into the Forbidden Forest, he immediately extinguished the flames on his body and turned to retreat.

Qing Chen roared, "First Company of the Reconnaissance Battalion, follow me in pursuit! This is the moment to make our mark!"

The gene warriors were greatly encouraged.

If we don't charge now, what are we waiting for? Killing one giant will grant us a three-rank promotion. After tonight, the Third Division might even produce several barons!

The gene warriors followed the head butler into the fray, but after chasing for an unknown amount of time, they suddenly discovered that the butler, who was rumored to be a C-rank, was always able to outrun them.

Moreover, just as they were about to catch up with the giant, the butler suddenly turned around, smiled eerily, and put on a string of Buddhist prayer beads on his wrist.

Behind the gene warriors, a dark figure holding scissors snipped away at the shadows.

The gale a hundred meters ahead was already at its last gasp, and he almost thought he was going to die for the dynasty.

But in the instant he turned around, he was shocked to find that the gene warriors were fighting a group of black shadows, and it was a completely one-sided situation where they were being crushed!

Kuangfeng frowned and looked at Qingchen. At this moment, Qingchen stood in the Forbidden Forest, on the edge of the chaotic battlefield, as calm and composed as the protagonist of this world.

Qingchen turned to Kuangfeng and said seriously, "He has already betrayed us. I've come to rescue you."

Kuangfeng paused for a moment: "Wind?"

(Are you also a rebel? Are you one of us?)

Qing Chen nodded and said, "That's right. I only found out today that He has betrayed us. Luckily, I was hiding here, otherwise you would have been in danger."

The gale was stunned, thinking to itself, "This is truly a series of twists and turns."

However, the human was right. If it weren't for him, he would have died here, and countless members of his tribe would have perished as well.

Wait, something seems off?!

Kuangfeng frowned: "Wind!"

(You can understand the language of my giants, who are you!)

Qing Chen said, "I once received a gift from a giant who gave me a red fruit that allowed me to understand your language."

The raging wind spoke in human language: "So you know the prophet!"

Among the giants, those red fruits are all under the control of the prophets, and only when a human is proven to be friendly with the giants will he receive such a gift!

Chapter 857, The Prophet and the Past

The language of the giants is the most difficult to understand in the Otherworld, bar none.

You can find some patterns in other languages, but the language of giants has no patterns; it relies entirely on telepathy.

Dudu, kacha, feng, gege, hehehe, ho—there is no logic to these sounds. Even if the giant only says one word, he can express thousands of meanings.

At the same time, the giants also realized their racial advantage: as long as humans did not understand their language, it would be difficult to fully explore their secrets.

Even if the giants were to plot loudly in front of humans, they wouldn't have to worry about their secrets being leaked.

Kuangfeng looked at Qingchen and said seriously, "You should have said earlier that you were a friend of the prophet. We will trust the friends of the prophet without reservation."

"A prophet?" Qing Chen asked in confusion.

In the Roosevelt Kingdom's network, he had never even heard of the existence of "prophet" among the giants.

The Gale nodded: "Prophet! The supreme beings of our giant race are led by generations of prophets to live in the shadow of the Roosevelt Kingdom, otherwise we would have disappeared long ago. The fruit you ate can only be possessed by a prophet, so you must be a friend of a prophet."

In the Kingdom of Giants, the king was the de facto ruler of the kingdom.

But the prophet will choose who will be king.

Therefore, although the prophet does not usually participate in management, he holds an extremely high position and is the spiritual leader of the giants.

In the early years, before the Forbidden Forest was connected into a continuous expanse, the Roosevelt Kingdom completely overwhelmed the giants, and humanity's advanced technology and weapons were enough to keep the giants from catching their breath.

More than two hundred years ago, the racial talent of the 'prophet' was born. The first giant prophet led the giant race to seek refuge, always avoiding danger and good fortune, and finally, 81 years ago, the Forbidden Forest was formed.

At that time, the first prophet's first prophecy was: "The great giants need a short period of patience. When the dense forests become a green ocean, new rules will emerge in the world. The giants will rebuild their homes here and await the world's revival!"

In fact, without this prophet, the giants would probably have all perished.

Later, in order to keep the secret of the giants, the wise prophet asked all the giants to hand over all the red fruits to him for safekeeping, forbidding them from giving them to humans privately, and even from telling humans the secret of the red fruits.

The prophet led the giants through the Forbidden Forest and destroyed all the trees that bore red fruit, leaving only one planted in the giants' royal court, in the prophet's former residence.

Only a select few humans whom the prophet considers friends will receive the gift.

Qingchen wanted to pretend that he was really the prophet's friend, but such a thing would be exposed sooner or later, and people would just go back and ask the prophet.

You don't even need to ask the prophet; some giants possess telepathic abilities, like Ding Dong.

Lying in front of such a giant is pointless.

Qing Chen explained, "I come from the other side of the Forbidden Sea. The fruit was given to me by a giant friend of mine. He is not your prophet; his name is Ding Dong."

Kuangfeng's expression changed again, and in his mind, the great prophecy made by the first prophet seemed to become clearer.

He murmured, "Wind!"

(One day, a giant's friend will arrive at the edge of the ocean. This friend wields thunder in his hands, and golden light shines deep within his eyes. He is the faith of the mountain peaks, a creature of the waves, and an eagle of the sky. He can understand our language and will ignite a new flame for the giant race, ushering in a new era. He will save us from fire and water and guide us on our path forward.)

At that moment, the raging wind actually uttered only one word, but the unique nature of the giants' language directly transported Qing Chen to the stone chamber where the prophet resided. The old prophet, nearing the end of his life, used the last embers of his life to make his final prophecy.

Qing Chen fell silent.

This prophecy is practically ready to recite his ID card.

Qing Chen sighed, "Really...?"

As he spoke, he opened his palm in front of the raging wind, and saw golden arcs of electricity dancing within, like midnight elves flapping their wings.

The next moment, he looked up at the raging wind and saw a captivating golden light deep in his pupils, as if flowing with molten lava.

Everything was happening right before my eyes, just like the prophecy of a prophet coming true.

The gale cried.

This wasn't an exaggerated rhetorical device; Kuangfeng was genuinely moved to tears. He crouched down and looked directly at Qingchen: "Friend, why did you take so long to come? We've had such a hard time these past few years!"

Qing Chen: "...Does your emotion have to be so abundant?"

In fact, Qingchen had met Dingdong before, so he knew that although giants looked rough, their emotions were no different from those of humans, and in fact, they were more simple and honest.
