Chapter 22: First Arrival at Bay Vilge

  The blood-red moonlight illumihe endless pins.

  The winding Silvermoon River cut across it, inating from the t Supreme Mountains in the north, flowing through the frozen tundra wastends, passing through the dark forests, and nourishing the surrounding millions of square kilometers of pins.

  Finally, it flowed gently and obediently into the o.

  The faint sounds of is blew in from the wind, watg the familiar vilge in the distance, listening to the babbling of the stream, Leo as if he were in another world.

  "Finally bae!"

  Warily gng at the shaking bushes to ensure no aberrant creatures were hiding within, Old John shifted his gaze aatted his shoulder, asking curiously:

  "Is the salted fish from Bay Vilge really as delicious as you say?"

  Mentioning salted fish, Leon proudly raised his head, pointing towards the endless pins to the east, and replied proudly:

  "Our Bay Vilge is he sea, and our salted fish are renowned far and wide for being fragrant and having a great texture, one sell for five silver s..."

  "It's just that there are too many murlocs, too troublesome, our vilge only go there twice a year, and each time we ’t bring much back..."

  Salted fish make money, lots of murlocs!

  Old John silently his information.

  Although his steward Ralph would surely know everything about the tiny Bay Vilge inside and out, attitude is another matter.

  One must humble oneself when asking for help.

  As their gaze shifted from the two, Steward Ralph looked at Yaya, who had returo her previous form, and silently lowered his head.

  Such a special young dragon was pletely different from the information he had.

  As is well known, the more uhe appearand abilities, the greater the potential for development.

  "Is this part of the lord's pn? Or the arra of the mysterious dy?"

  This thought was merely a fleeting one, quickly buried deep by Steward Ralph, his gaze catg his daughter diligently at her post, he whispered to Matthew:

  "We've arrived, I'll arrange for Old John to scout the area first."

  Matthew didn't make a fuss, approving of Steward Ralph's arras, who had already proven his capability.

  But just then, a pierg roar spread through the air.

  A red figure, over three meters tall, charged over uhe moonlight.

  It was enveloped in burning fmes, yet uhe aberrant murlocs that buro death, it was vigorous.

  Fming tendrils stretched out from its back, dang in the air, causing ripples of fme.

  "Aberrant giae, challeier 12+! Ied!"

  Simple information, but it made Matthew squint his eyes.

  He had never expected to enter an aberrant giant in Bay Vilge, this peculiar species was rarely seen even in his past life.

  The Crimson Moon could i many lives, causing physical aberrations, but evey years ter, just the initial influence of the Crimson Moon would hardly i higher-tier life forms.

  Before he could gather more information, Matthew suddenly saw, in front of the elite giant, a nimble figure, swiftly esg.

  However, the elite giant was faster.

  Especially uhe tinuous illumination of the Crimson Moon, its aberration deepened rapidly, its inal reason quickly disappearing, repced by increasing physical strength.

  The elite giant swung a bck thick club, nearly hitting the figure several times.

  Matthew could see that the petite figure, having exhausted too muergy, was almost uo hold on.

  "Leon, e back!"

  Old John's familiar voice came, Matthew saw Leon rushing forward, and lightly touched the staff in his hand.

  "Huff... Huff..."

  Her lungs burned painfully, each breath felt like hot kabbing inside.

  Her legs also throbbed with pain, the aftereffects of overexertion began to show, gradually slowing her dodging speed.

  Rebecca's eyes showed a hint ret, this terrifying creature, even if lured out of the vilge, would return as long as the Crimson Moon was not over.

  Not just tonight, but possibly iure as well...

  Feeling the heavy whooshing sound behind her, Rebecca's previously drifting gaze became firm again, she struggled forward, nimbly rolling.

  As long as she had breath, she would lead this creature away from the vilge as much as possible.

  Sptter!

  A wet mud pit made her legs go weak, uo trol her force, she fell headlong into the wild grass, the sharp grass cutting her cheek mask, creating a fresh wound, yet this pain was nothing pared to the despair in her heart.

  Rebecca turned her head, just in time to see the all-bure giant charging over, more thaendrils from its back reag out to grab her viciously.

  "No, even ih, I ot bee such a monster!"

  Determination fshed in her azure eyes, Rebecca ched her dagger, gnced in the dire of the vilge o time, and bid her final farewell.

  "Goodbye..."

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  The exploding airflow burst forth, mixed with the stench of char, the giant hand that was close at hand suddenly retreated.

  "Rebecca, how are you? Are you hurt?"

  A hand grabbed Rebecca's shoulder, pulling her backward, the familiar call entering her ears, bringing tears to her eyes.

  The voice of her older brother Leon!

  The narrowly escaped Rebecca quickly shook her head, then sensed something and her smile turned bitter.

  The crimson moonlight was equally deadly, she had been inated!

  "Even so, I must take this creature with me!"

  Before Rebecca could reignite her fighting spirit, a bze of azure light fshed before her eyes, brushing past her hair, "whoosh", striking the chest of the oning giant, tearing open a fist-sized hole in its already muddled flesh.

  "This..."

  The much wiser Leon quickly pulled his somewhat dazed sister back.

  He had noticed that his sister's sleeve and pant leg were torn, definitely exposed to the Crimson Moon's light, so they must purify her quickly, not fetting to fort:

  "Our new lord has arrived, I now work for him, he has a purification potion, I'll ask for a bottle for you, let's go!"

  "Roar...!"

  The stench-filled roar echoed over the open pins, the elite giant chasing after Leon and Rebecca, its chest wound rapidly healing, its twisting tendrils stantly whipping, making crag sounds.

  This terrifyingly twisted image, a normal person seeing it once, would have tinuous nightmares!

  "Fuel ready, throw!"

  A crisp and decisive voice spread, followed by the "crack" of a pottery jar shattering, bck fuel spreading out behind Leon and Rebecca.

  The mindless elite giant plunged into it, raising its club high, aiming to cleave at Leon's head!

  Boom!

  The rising firelight created a fierce shockwave, instantly engulfing the elite giant.

  The burning serpents turhe dang tendrils to char.

  Its vitality was extremely tenacious, tinuously regeing after being charred on the surface, the severed pieces falling into the fuel, struggling wildly, tinuously jumping until they turo ash!

  Over ten arrows sped away, mainly aiming at the giant's head, which resembled a torch.

  Most were swept aside by its wildly swinging club, and a part cked enough lethality, pierg the giant's skin but uo inflict fatal damage.

  Matthew stood up nontly, his gaze sweeping over Leon, who had survived the ordeal, he raised his staff, pointing at the not-too-distant giant.

  "Health left 6 points, it's my turn to act!"
