When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 802 - 886 Old Giant Spirit

Xiang Beifei decided to see if he could communicate with these Giant Spirits. If possible, he might be able to find out some information.

With this thought, he stepped onto the old Giant Spirit’s finger, but he remained on guard, ready to escape at any moment. After all, he had witnessed a Giant Spirit stuffing other Yi Tribe cultivators directly into its mouth as food.

The old Giant Spirit saw Xiang Beifei come up, then withdrew his hand, lifting it to his nose to inspect Xiang Beifei closely. He sniffed lightly, seemingly trying to catch Xiang Beifei’s scent, because Xiang Beifei had hidden himself using Orifice Perception, making it hard to be detected by smell.

That sniff almost sucked Xiang Beifei into the large nostril due to the strong suction from the nose.

"Hey, watch your boundaries!"

Fortunately, Xiang Beifei quickly wrapped his breath soil around the old Giant Spirit’s finger, firmly holding onto it to stabilize himself.

The old Giant Spirit seemed to realize Xiang Beifei’s dangerous situation, leaned back slightly, and said apologetically, "Apology, Shoddy One!"

The sound wave was terrifying; Xiang Beifei nearly vomited blood. To prevent the old Giant Spirit from approaching to sniff him again, Xiang Beifei released his Orifice Perception and spread his aura to make himself perceptible to the other.

As expected, the old Giant Spirit’s murky eyes lit up slightly, and he said again, "Human Shoddy One!"

"I can’t understand what you’re saying!" Xiang Beifei shouted.

The old Giant Spirit blinked as if he hadn’t clearly heard Xiang Beifei, moved him to his ear. Xiang Beifei could only shout into that giant black earhole again, "I don’t understand you!"

But the old Giant Spirit still seemed unable to hear, glancing at the other Giant Spirits before exchanging looks, unsure how to communicate.

After a moment, one of the Giant Spirits suddenly shouted at Xiang Beifei, "Water Shoddy One!"

Everyone nodded, looking toward the old Giant Spirit, seemingly waiting for his response. The old Giant Spirit appeared thoughtful, nodding slightly after a moment.

Seeing the old Giant Spirit agree, the Giant Spirit who spoke stood up immediately, then Xiang Beifei saw him retrieve a huge ladle from a corner of the courtyard, made of stone, terrifyingly over a hundred meters long, capable of scooping an entire pond.

Then the Giant Spirit climbed over the city wall and ran outside.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The ground rumbled again, and from the direction of the sound, it seemed he was heading toward the Ruishui River bank.

The Giant Spirit’s approach to the Ruishui River frightened all the Yi Tribe cultivators.

Many Yi Tribe cultivators had been trapped by their inability to cross the Ruishui River, finding a place by the riverbank to form factions, huddling together for warmth. They never expected the Giant Spirits to come there, but suddenly seeing a massive figure charging at them with a giant ladle was a huge shock!

All the Yi Tribe cultivators were scared out of their wits, fleeing hastily along the Ruishui River bank, afraid of being caught by the Giant Spirit and eaten if they tarried.

However, the Giant Spirit didn’t care about these cultivators at all, moving to the riverbank and scooping water from the Ruishui River with the large ladle!

This action stunned the Yi Tribe cultivators!

They knew that the weak water of the Ruishui River had a deadly, mysterious swallowing force for cultivators, dragging anything into it and completely eroding it once it fell in.

But who could have imagined that here, the Giant Spirit could scoop up the water, seemingly with ease!

The Giant Spirit quickly ran back to the village with the river water-laden ladle. A distance of over a hundred kilometers was a matter of seconds for him, as he handed the ladle filled with weak water to the old Giant Spirit.

The old Giant Spirit carried Xiang Beifei into the house, followed by other Giant Spirits, while those left stayed outside to guard. Then the old Giant Spirit gently placed Xiang Beifei onto the ground and himself drank the weak water from the Ruishui River.

"He dare drink this?"

Xiang Beifei was incredibly astonished!

He perceived the terrifying nature of the Ruishui River even when contained in the ladle, the dreadful aura made him wary, but he didn’t expect the Giant Spirit to drink the weak water so boldly!

After drinking the river water, the old Giant Spirit frowned slightly, as the taste was evidently unpleasant.

He handed the water ladle to a robust-looking Giant Spirit beside him, who also drank the weak water before setting the ladle aside. However, besides them, none of the other Giant Spirits drank.

Soon after, the tall bodies of these two Giant Spirits made creaking noises, like bones squeezing against each other. Bones, hair, skin all started wriggling. Then, Xiang Beifei saw the thousand-meter tall old Giant Spirit’s body gradually shrink!

This bizarre transformation left Xiang Beifei utterly amazed!

The old Giant Spirit’s head, limbs, and body shrank in proportion over two or three minutes, the thousand-meter giant slowly reducing to just over three meters tall, which was absolutely startling to see!

After shrinking, the old Giant Spirit waved his hand, gathering a thick fog around him that condensed into a coarse cloth to cover himself.

The shrunken old Giant Spirit appeared a bit scrawny, but he looked spirited, finally able to see what Xiang Beifei looked like, scrutinizing him with intrigue.

And another shrunken Giant Spirit appeared younger, standing guard beside the old Giant Spirit with a watchful expression, seemingly protecting him.

"Human Shoddy One."

The old Giant Spirit nodded slightly, sitting cross-legged on the ground, though even sitting, he was nearly as tall as Xiang Beifei standing.

"I can’t understand your words," Xiang Beifei said. "But I can learn if you tell me what your Shoddy language means."

The old Giant Spirit and the young Giant Spirit exchanged a look, appearing to ponder something.

"I understand your words," the old Giant Spirit spoke in a very fluent language.

He spoke very standard.

Xiang Beifei was momentarily stunned and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone understands Jiuzhou language; the ancients did not deceive me.

"My name is Xiang Beifei, from the Human Race," Xiang Beifei said.

"I know, Human Shoddy One," the old Giant Spirit laughed.

Xiang Beifei felt a wave of silent complaints in his heart; he always felt like he was being scolded again.

"Why do you all have to add ’scum’ when you talk?" Xiang Beifei couldn’t help but ask.

The old Giant Spirit stroked his white beard and said very frankly, "Because in our eyes, you’re all as small as scum."

Xiang Beifei was speechless for a moment.

Indeed, the Giant Spirit Race was too tall, with heights reaching thousands of meters. All other races appeared tiny as specks of dust before them.

"My name is Father Pu, the Clan Leader of the Giant Spirit Race," the old Giant Spirit said with a broad smile.

Father Pu?

The name seemed very familiar.

"It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the Human Race," the old Giant Spirit said, looking at Xiang Beifei. "What did you use to awaken it?"

"It?"

"Seeking Wood, you awakened the god tree Seeking Wood," the old Giant Spirit said, pointing at the towering black jade tree outside that blocked out the sky for miles.

Was that tree called Seeking Wood?

Xiang Beifei seemed to have heard about something like Seeking Wood before.

"Awoo awoo."

Erha was confused beside him; if this was wood, why couldn’t he control it?

"Youmeng you!"

Little Youmeng interjected, expressing that since it was a "god tree," not being able to control it was quite normal.

"Awoo woo!"

Erha felt offended, flicked his tail, causing the leaf on top of Little Youmeng’s head to curl up and cover its eyes. Erha howled proudly twice more, indicating that while he couldn’t control Seeking Wood, he could control Little Youmeng.

Little Youmeng angrily extended its branch-like arms to push the leaf away from its eyes, grumbling a couple of complaints.

Xiang Beifei didn’t bother with these two and instead asked, "Is the god tree Seeking Wood very important to you?"

"It’s the only god tree that matches our stature," the old Giant Spirit said.

Giants match giant trees, it fits. Anyway, Xiang Beifei had never seen anything taller than these two, even the big fellow he saw near Chen Hou last time wasn’t as tall as the Giant Spirit and Seeking Wood.

But Xiang Beifei always felt the old Giant Spirit wasn’t being truthful.

"You still haven’t told me what you used to control Seeking Wood," the old Giant Spirit said.

"With my blood," Xiang Beifei replied, not intending to mention the brick incident.

"Your blood?" The old Giant Spirit examined Xiang Beifei, asking, "Why?"

"Good question." Xiang Beifei shrugged, "I don’t know, maybe because of my thick skin."

The old Giant Spirit laughed, "Young people are interesting."

When he laughed, he looked no different from an elderly human, seemingly having a cheerful personality.

After laughing, the old Giant Spirit blinked his aged, cloudy eyes and said meaningfully, "I know you’re not telling the truth."

Xiang Beifei raised an eyebrow.

"You should have Five Pieces of Stone, at least two of them," the old Giant Spirit said.

Xiang Beifei felt a slight caution rising in his heart.

This old man knew about the Five Pieces of Stone!

And he knew Xiang Beifei had two of them!

The old Giant Spirit stroked his beard and continued to laugh, "Now I have to verify something, which will determine whether you leave here alive."

Xiang Beifei felt a hitch in his heart.

This old man was somewhat mysterious. Even if he had intentions to kill, he still remained so relaxed.

But Xiang Beifei stayed calm and didn’t panic.

"What is it?"

"One of the bricks you hold comes from an old friend of mine, I can tell. Usually, he wouldn’t just throw something like that around, so did you kill him to obtain this brick?" the old Giant Spirit asked.

Xiang Beifei calmly replied, "If you ask like that, even if I killed him and stole it, I wouldn’t admit it, would I?"

"Hahaha!" The old Giant Spirit laughed heartily again, "That’s indeed the case. You’re right, I can’t argue with that."

He still looked very cheerful, not angry at all, and kindly observed Xiang Beifei from head to toe.

"So, is your grandfather still alive?" the old Giant Spirit asked.

Xiang Beifei was slightly stunned!
