Chapter 58 Giant Corpse
The ground shaking continued, but fortunately the fluctuations were not large, and the houses on both sides did not collapse. Only the dust on the roofs fell to the sides of the road.
Doggie helped Muriel, who had fallen and squatted, up and said gloatingly: "You are so outspoken, are you in trouble now?"
Muriel held her old waist and was about to curse, but a roar from the distance made her shut up quickly.
Shirley raised her head and looked into the distance, muttering in a puzzled tone: "The sound of a fire dragon."
"That's right." Rove also pricked up his ears and carefully distinguished: "It sounds very much like the Romanian long-horned dragon raised by grandpa. It seems that it is not a simple earthquake."
It can't be that the magical creature in Newt's box escaped and caused the ground to shake, right?
"Go back and have a look." Rove said, skillfully picked up Princess Shirley, took her up from the ground, and flew towards the old house.
Doggie and Muriel didn't care about arguing anymore. They both looked up blankly and stared at the two people flying.
Rolf was very fast. He flew over the old house in a few seconds. As expected, he saw a Romanian longhorn dragon standing on the roof, spreading its wings and flying towards the sky.
Newt was holding his shabby box and standing on the head of the fire dragon Vaghar. When he saw the boy and the girl, he waved his hand.
Rolf brought Shirley and landed on the head of the fire dragon. At this time, there was a turbulence, and the two hurriedly grabbed the shiny golden horns of the Romanian longhorn dragon.
After stabilizing his body, the boy couldn't wait to ask: "What happened, Grandpa?"
"It's hard to say for the time being, but the epicenter came from the Forest of Dean."
Newt raised his hand and saw a purple-skinned toad lying in his palm, with a bulging belly, a piece of snow-white, and constantly shaking.
That is the vibrating frog. Its body is very sensitive. With just a slight rub, its belly will vibrate at a high frequency. Therefore, it is also a favorite pet of many witches.
The vibrating frog can also sense earthquakes in advance and find the location of the epicenter, so the Ministry of Magic also likes to use it to survey earthquakes.
At this time, the tongue of the vibrating frog is pointing to the northwest, which is also the direction of the giant tribe.
"Is it related to the Upper Barnton Giant Tribe?" Rolf's face became solemn.
"It is likely that it is. Let's go and have a look first."
Newt touched Vhagar's head, and the long-horned dragon let out a deafening roar. It spread its wings and quickly flew across the fertile land and flew straight to the northwest.
The fire dragon is very fast. In just a few minutes, the farmland on the ground has retreated, and a large area of dense forests and rugged hills have appeared.
At this time, it is not only the ground that is shaking, but the three can also hear bursts of dull sounds, as if someone is beating a drum, which is terrifying to listen to.
The long-horned dragon continued to fly deep into the forest. Rolf looked at a ridge and saw some buildings in a dense forest.
Those were some dilapidated houses, built very simply, with huge woods and large stones simply piled up, so many houses had collapsed long ago.
And those houses that did not collapse were also amazing, more than ten meters high, with vines and thorns crawling on the walls.
The source of the loud noise was in a cave not far away, as if someone was digging the mountain.
"This is the Upper Barnton Giant Tribe." Sitting on the head of the fire dragon, Newt said slowly:
"Since the last batch of giants left Britain, this place has been abandoned for more than ten years."
A place that has been abandoned for more than ten years, but there is a loud noise, is it really the giants who have returned? !
Shirley looked around, suddenly leaned close to Rolf's ear and whispered: "What is that?"
Rolf immediately turned around and looked in the direction pointed by the ponytail girl, and saw a dilapidated stone house.
Soon, a tall, ugly humanoid creature emerged from the house:
He was nearly six meters tall, with a round little head and a pair of big, fleshy ears under thick dogtail grass-colored hair, like protruding ears.
But the head was too small, and compared with the huge body, it gave people an extremely uncoordinated sense of deformity.
After seeing the appearance of the creature, Shirley exclaimed: "Giant!"
Rolf said strangely: "It seems to be dead."
The giant was indeed dead. There was a large piece missing on the left side of his head. When he walked, the flesh fell off the bones, and there were maggots inside.
Two black eyes stared at them blankly, and they looked like two rotten dates.
Another giant walked out of the room, his head seemed to be broken, drooping awkwardly to one side. His body was huge, but skinny, and the white bones were exposed in his chest, as if someone had bitten him.
Then, the third and fourth giants came out. Their bodies were not as well preserved as the first two, with only pale skeletons left to support them.
Every step the giants took left a huge skeleton footprint on the gray-green moss.
It seems that the footprints Newt found before came from them!
"It's the giant corpses." Newt's face became solemn.
The giant corpses stared at the air, and suddenly stretched out their hands to pull up the trees beside them by the roots, and threw them into the sky like javelins, with thunderous momentum and amazing speed!
The long-horned dragon roared, his throat bulged, and he opened his mouth to spit out a large ball of flames, which submerged all the trees.
Soon, another huge rock broke through the flames and flew from the ground to the sky.
The fire dragon had to spread its wings and fly upwards.
At this time, the giant covered with maggots had already climbed a towering tree more than 30 meters high with his hands and feet, and reached the top.
He instantly exerted his strength, soared into the air, and rushed forward. A giant hand as big as a cattail leaf fan smashed into the fire dragon's head.
Facing the giant inferi charging towards him, Luofu did not dodge, but calmly inhaled, exhaled, and then...squirted out a large pool of liquid.
Like a torrent pouring away!
"My tongue and teeth are sticky!"
The mucus from the carnivorous slugs, with a strong corrosive and pungent smell, splashed on the giant in an extremely unsightly way.
His chest felt like hot iron touching water, making a squeaking sound, bubbling, and then being corroded by the mucus in an instant.
The mucus corroded all the way up the arm, and soon only a dense white bone remained in the giant's arm.
The long-horned dragon opened its mouth, and with another burst of dragon breath, it completely devoured the inferi.
"Stop!" An old voice suddenly sounded.
The giant skeletons on the ground immediately stopped attacking as if they had been ordered.
I saw an old man appear out of thin air. He put his hands together, looked up at the sky, and said with a smile:
"Newt, long time no see."
