Chapter 100: The Proper Ways of Provocation

Xi Wei almost swore when he saw the barren giant.

At first, he had just thought that the villagers didn’t know what they were talking about, calling some earth elementals like the stone golems a barren giant. After all, besides the mountain giant, the barren giant was the most popular earth elemental among humans.

Even the smallest mountain giants were a couple hundred meters tall, so there was no chance of mistaking it, that’s why a lot of humans instinctively called larger stone golems barren giants by accident.

But barren giants usually lived in dry places like deserts where water was hard to come by. They never came close to the ocean since the extra moisture in the air could cause them discomfort.

So Xi Wei never expected their enemy to actually be a barren giant.

“Things aren’t looking good.”

Barren giants were true creatures of myth, a fully grown barren giant could easily come toe-to-toe with a regular dragon.

The barren giant that appeared before his players hadn’t fully matured yet, it was still in between the stages of adolescence and adulthood, if it were a Digimon, it would probably still be at the Rookie stage.

Even so, it had enough strength to best even a group of Extraordinary level players.

Not only that, the barren giant was also the sacred creature of the Lord of the Peaks, and the Lord of the Peaks was himself the sub-deity of the ‘Earthweaver’, one of the Seven Divine Fathers.

“No wonder I haven’t seen it.”

As the sacred creature of the Lord of the Peaks, the barren giant possessed some of the deities’ divine power as well, it was similar to the divine protective emanating out from the churches located at the hearts of large cities, the barren giant had a barrier hiding it from Xi Wei’s Divine Eye.

Xi Wei had originally planned on not interfering with the quest to train up his players, but with the appearance of the barren giant, he didn’t even have the option of helping them.

After all, the battle between the players and the barren giant was completely conducted on a personal basis, in the eyes of the Lord of the Peaks it was basically a dogfight, even if his dog died during the altercation, he wouldn’t do anything about it except blame his dog for being too weak—as a deity, who didn’t have tens of thousands of dogs at their beck and call (save for newer deities like Xi Wei)? These high and mighty deities weren’t going to stoop down to the same level as dogs.

But if Xi Wei interfered with the battle, it would be as if he killed the dog right in front of its owner, getting on the owner’s blacklist would be inevitable.

Xi Wei had the protection of the Justice Lion Aslan, so he wasn’t scared of the Lord of the Peaks, but the lord had a protector of their own, and a Divine Father no less. If those webnovels had taught Xi Wei anything, after taking out the small ones, their much stronger people behind them would come back for revenge. Even with the lion’s help, they would end up as dead meat…

“Aye, this is not going to be pretty.” All Xi Wei could do was obediently watch his players from his kingdom. “Whatever, it’ll teach them a lesson, let them know that players aren’t invincible either.”

Even so, Xi Wei did still think about what would happen if his players won… Although the chances were slim, what if?

And so, he pulled the Rotten Bones out of his blender and broke off its pinky toe with a clean crack, shoving the skull back in once he was done.
