This group of people clearly feared the people of this Lilliputian kingdom, and Jiang Fan exploited this situation, causing them all to hesitate and dare not advance.
"If you have the guts, come up! I'll definitely make every single one of you submit! What kind of skill is this? Come fight us if you dare."
These people seemed to be employing a provocation tactic, wanting Jiang Fan to go and fight them. However, neither Jiang Fan nor Yao had any such intention. They both knew that fighting this group was akin to a fantasy. Those people could easily kill Jiang Fan with a casual swipe.
Jiang Fan was incredulous at their current cowardice.
They had completely aligned themselves with these giants. If they were to launch an attack on Jiang Fan and his companions, they would undoubtedly crush them to pieces. Therefore, Jiang Fan and Yao had no intention of going forward and instead continued to walk backward at their own pace.
At this moment, that group seemed to grow anxious. Seeing Jiang Fan preparing to leave, they picked up a horn and blew it. Upon seeing the horn, Jiang Fan felt an immense sense of disbelief, as he possessed one himself, which he had pilfered during a previous skirmish.
The reason they were in such a hurry now was likely due to this horn. As Jiang Fan watched them blow the horn, the giants seemed to go mad and leaped directly towards Jiang Fan's location. Jiang Fan immediately began to evade. Fortunately, while they were fast-moving, the giants were slow. They couldn't instantly rush over and kill Jiang Fan.
"This horn actually controls them. No wonder they could act in conjunction with these giants. How can we best utilize this horn?"
After saying this, Yao next to him quickly shook his head. He clearly didn't know how this horn controlled the giants either. The best course of action now was to escape back to the Lilliputian kingdom. Otherwise, they were extremely likely to be killed by these giants.
Just then, Jiang Fan kept running, and the giants continuously pursued. If they were led into the city, the ordinary people there would undoubtedly be in danger. Jiang Fan made a split-second decision to blow the horn and observe their actions.
However, when Jiang Fan blew the horn, he discovered that the giants stopped attacking him and instead ran off in another direction. Those people, seeing the giants charge away, quickly fled. But they were momentarily too slow to react and were directly trampled to pieces by the giants, with only a few managing to escape. Jiang Fan was filled with disbelief.
"This is too terrifying! I never imagined these people would be killed by these damned things. This is a disaster!"
After saying this, Yao next to him was filled with dread, for he knew that these giants definitely did not possess their own consciousness as they might have imagined. Instead, they were like stitched-together monsters, controlled by someone, and this horn was their command signal.
"This is madness! Who would do such a thing to make them so frenzied? Could it be they're using this horn to control them? No, we must go back and tell Zhou Niannian and Dai Xiaomei about this. Otherwise, the two of us won't be able to figure out the principle behind this thing."
After Yao spoke, Jiang Fan found his words very reasonable. Jiang Fan and Yao returned to their lodging, where Zhou Niannian and Dai Xiaomei were very surprised to see them back so soon.
"You scared me to death! I thought you two would get hurt when you went out, but I didn't expect you both to return unharmed. That's wonderful! What is this golden horn you have?"
After saying this, Jiang Fan immediately told Zhou Niannian about the incident. Zhou Niannian also found it incredible that a horn could control giants; it was too crazy.
"I don't know either, but there are indeed people here who are like us. We must ask them what's going on. If we can find out, perhaps we can leave this cursed place."
"But if we can't leave, we'll probably have to go through another life-and-death struggle, because these giants don't seem to be just a few. Their numbers are incredibly terrifying, to the point of being unimaginable. Because their territory is so vast, if we were to blow the horn continuously, we might summon hundreds of them."
Upon hearing this, Dai Xiaomei shivered and quickly examined the horn. However, no matter how she looked at it, it appeared to be just an ordinary horn. Jiang Fan and Yao were also quite helpless. Although the horn could control the giants, they had no idea how to blow it or what commands it conveyed, making it very dangerous.
"Let's just fight them then, isn't that enough?"
"We'll try blowing the horn while running to see what happens. Don't worry about them."
"Their movement speed is very slow anyway, we can use this weakness to toy with them. We won't dwell on the outcome."
"In any case, we must ensure our own safety. Everything else is secondary. Regardless of what this horn is for, we just need to guarantee our own survival."
After saying this, Dai Xiaomei and Zhou Niannian quickly nodded. Yao also strongly agreed with Jiang Fan's idea, as their movement speed was indeed not fast, making evasion not difficult.
"Alright, if that's the case, there's no need to delay any further. We'll go find them directly tomorrow. We don't know how strong they are, so let's all four of us go up the mountain together and tell their king that we are going to search for the giants, and ask them to help us find an exit in advance."
"Once we understand what's going on with those people like us, it will be easier for us to leave. In any case, we must go and find them."
Jiang Fan was very curious about this strange group of people.
However, Jiang Fan had no idea what would happen next, nor did Yao.
The two girls beside them knew even less, and even Gun Gun, who had been bewildered the entire time, didn't understand.
But this expedition was imperative; they had to go.
The world above gradually receded from them, and their adventure underground was now unfolding step by step!
