“Master!”
With the eerie crimson radiance continuously emanating from their chest cavities, three bronze giants directly knelt before Jiang Hui. Their voices shook the mountains and rivers, causing all trees to tremble and leaves to fall rustlingly.
At the exact same moment, the vast power from their knees battered the ground, causing rubble and stone to spew forth and the earth to crack open ~ Their bodies were incredibly heavy, able to casually crush boulders underfoot. Even the sturdy mountainous terrain could barely support them. Each step they took would leave behind a massive footprint.
It was fortunate that the mountaintop Jiang Hui was on was big enough, majestic and towering, otherwise, if it were any other smaller hills, they might have already been flattened by now.
Fortunately, the bronze giants were not living creatures, they were more akin to items, allowing Jiang Hui to be able to withdraw them at will when not in use. And when he needed them, he could release them again.
As the three giants knelt, Jiang Hui also surveyed them closely.
Apart from their towering size, the faces of the bronze giants resembled the threatening, fierce visages of the Eighteen Arhats seen in temples, with grotesque expressions and terrifying looks.
What shocked Jiang Hui most was the degree of detail on these gigantic bodies. Every sweat gland and pore could be clearly seen.
Besides their bluish-gray tattoos and the crimson vertical eyes within their chest cavities, they almost perfectly resembled living beings, as if they were real creatures of flesh and blood.
Just as Jiang Hui was observing minutely, at the mountain peak entrance, Old Man Lin hurried over with a crowd.
Having had previous experience, this time at the foot of the mountain, he immediately arranged a worshipping formation, bringing not only hot, fresh blood but also a substantial number of offerings.
“Thump, thump, thump…”
“Thump, thump, thump…”
Overlapping footsteps echoed without pause.
Figures began to appear.
But before these people could get any closer, as soon as they raised their heads, they were immediately stunned by the sight of the three bronze giants in front’ of them, not daring to take another step.
“What are those? How could there be such outrageous giants?”
“Help me, I cannot breathe!”
“When did we of Liu Village incur such terrifying monsters?!”
“Everyone, do not be afraid. With Lord Willow God’s protection, we will be fine.”
Some shouted in fear, their legs weakening, with many faint-hearted people collapsing, mentally repeating the words ‘Lord Willow God’ over and over.
These words held unfathomable comfort to them. Although they couldn’t elevate their power, they could stabilize their emotions.
“Umm!”
Seeming to recognize the intrusion of strangers, the three giants moved instantly.
Twisting their enormous necks, they slowly turned to look at the gathering of Liu Village people. Their crimson eyes showed no sign of emotional fluctuation. They stared as if they were immortals from the Nine Heavens gazing at mortal ants, filled with an aura of solemn murder.
The three colossal figures towered imposingly, their vast bodies aligning with the mountain ranges in a triadic formation. Even a single hair from their bodies was thicker than an adult’s waist.
They watched vigilantly, their gazes intense.
On Jiang Hui’s command, they would obliterate the daring little dots attempting to ascend the Heavenly Stairs without hesitation.
Old Man Lin was also frightened. His gaze kept shifting among the three bronze giants, fearing that with a moment’s carelessness, they might crush him underfoot.
The pressure exerted by three bronze giants was immense, particularly with their gruesome and terrifying faces. Even demons would be frightened into reincarnating.
Fortunately, he had been with Jiang Hui the longest, had the strongest ability to withstand stress, and was able to force himself to walk over to Jiang Hui.
Most importantly, he knew clearly that this was Lord Willow God’s territory. If these giants had truly wanted to harm him, they would have probably punched down the moment they noticed him.
“Lord Willow God, we have come specifically to pay tribute to you.” Old man Lm cautiously spoke, explaining the sudden reason for their trip up the mountain.
Such tributes are not a common ritual in the Wilderness and are even more elaborate.
Having resided in the Wilderness for a long time, old man Lin was very clear. If Liu Village wanted to continue existing in this vast Wilderness, the foremost task was to please Lord Willow God and show their loyalty in every possible way.
“These are the three new Guardian Protectors bestowed upon me. They mainly protect my serenity on normal days, but they will also intervene if Liu Village is in trouble. You need not fear.”
Jiang Hui demonstrated the Divine Ability Dream of Millet and explained to old man Lin, his sincere and dedicated aged servant.
“So, these three giants are the guardians of the village, just like the Black Python Protector, and are all under Lord Willow God?!”
The shock on old man Lin’s face quickly turned into sheer excitement.
With the Black Python Protector in the front and the Bronze Giant Statue Protector at the back, even if Lord Willow God didn’t take action, he felt that Liu Village could survive in the Wilderness.
However, old man Lin also knew well that even though he was the village chief, he couldn’t order these Guardians!
The status of the Guardians was second only to the great Lord Willow God, far above him, and they only followed Lord Willow God’s arrangements.
This was common knowledge to everyone in Liu Village.
Resuming his composure, without further ado, old man Lin immediately relayed the news notified by Jiang Hui to other villagers.
These people were clearly out of their depth, crying and wailing in front of Lord Willow God. One should learn from him to maintain composure!!!
“Those are actually the Guardians under the Deity of Worship!?”
Some were shocked, such as the former clan leader of the Native Tribe.
His knowledge was more expansive. The tribe even had some ancient body refinement prescriptions passed down. He knew some secrets that others didn’t.
The fact that a Deity of Worship could have Guardians was news to him.
Of course, apart from shock, many villagers were also excited and proud to be people of Liu Village!
Those three giants emitted such terrifying energy, yet they were mere servants under the Deity of Worship.
Could other Deities of Worship be as unparalleled as their Lord Willow God?!
The sacrificial ceremony lasted for a whole two hours.
Jiang Hui did harvest a wee bit more Faith Value than usual.
He observed all his worshippers with his senses open, mainly focusing on Lin Xin Tong and Tu Dequan.
Little Eight Lin was already in his twenties this year, standing tall and elegant. Tu Dequan, on the other hand, was much younger, only eight years old.
However, the latter showed great potential, especially in the Body Refinement Realm, showing remarkable progress for his age and breaking through the strength of ten thousand pounds.
This was indeed impressive, given his young age. After all, he was just a little kid. One should know that only Lin Zhuang and Lin Chen displayed pure strength which reached perfect body refinement in the whole village, flaunting the immense power of tens of thousands of pounds influenced by Inferior Dragon Elephant Power Pill.
Beyond this, even Lin Xin Tong was merely able to muster tens of thousands of pounds. However, Lin Xin Tong’s talent was great in the area of practicing the treasured technique.
Especially, with many years of meticulous research, her power, when reinforced with the Treasured Technique, had surpassed that of Lin Zhuang and Lin Meng.
As for Lin Meng and Lin Zhuang’s ability to reach completion in such a short time, it was largely due to the discovery of a few Red Fruits.
Those Red Fruits were quite precious. Over the years, they scoured the surroundings but failed to find even a single fruit.
