Jiang Fan was too lazy to bother with the giants' affairs. He was more curious about who had been here before him with the same build, what they had done, and how they had gotten out. If they could find those clues, they might have a chance to escape.
"Do you know where they went, those people who are about the same size as us? Where are they now? The exit we're looking for is probably the same one they're looking for. If we can find out where they are, we might be able to get out."
Upon hearing this, the kings of the little people shook their heads, their faces filled with dejection, as if ashamed to speak of something.
"We are truly sorry. It seems they got out, but it also seems they might have died. We can't be sure, as we haven't thoroughly investigated this matter. All we know is that at the last moment, they abandoned all of us here and fled. The giants were launching an attack, so we were helpless but to stay here and defend ourselves. We put in a great deal of effort at the time, and lost many of our talented people, to temporarily drive away those giants."
Jiang Fan was very disheartened upon hearing this.
"Alright, but you need to help us find clues about them as soon as possible. We are in urgent need of their clues. If you can let us know where their clues are, you must tell us, and let us see what's happening recently. After all, we are very eager to know these clues. If we have these clues, it would be a very fortunate thing for us."
"Regarding the giants, don't worry. With us here, you have nothing to fear. We will help you resist them."
"If they launch an attack again, we will still stand up without hesitation and will never leave before you. You don't need to worry about this at all. Just help us search diligently, and leave the rest to us."
Upon hearing this, the little king nodded quickly. For this candy world, only Jiang Fan and his group could stop the giants. For anyone else to stop these giants would be like dreaming, utterly impossible.
"I understand. You should go and rest first. You've been fighting for so long. The giants' strength is indeed formidable, and it's incredible that you were able to kill them all. You've done very well. Now, please go and rest. We will tell you if we have any information, so don't worry."
Jiang Fan nodded gently upon hearing this and led Zhou Niannian and Dai Xiaomei towards the dormitory. At this moment, Jiang Fan saw clues about the people who had arrived here with the same build as himself, and his mood improved significantly, as there was finally hope of finding these so-called "ghostly things."
If they could find these people, it was highly likely they could lead them out together, and possibly gain more companions. The most lacking thing on the scene was companions, because their combat effectiveness was too low. The giants had made them deeply aware of their own weakness. If it weren't for sheer luck, they wouldn't have been able to drive away all the giants.
"What should we do now? Should we stay here? If we stay here, then since we've come, we have to attack them. After we've killed so many of their people, they might get increasingly angry, and our battles will become even more difficult."
Dai Xiaomei, standing beside him, expressed her concerns to Jiang Fan with some worry. Jiang Fan nodded helplessly and then said to Zhou Niannian.
"There's no other way now."
"With their help, we might be able to find those clues. Without their help, it's too speculative for us to search their kingdom. Their kingdom is so vast, and obtaining any clues from here is not a simple matter. We can only use their strength to search for clues."
"Our build is too large, and finding clues here doesn't seem like an easy task. We need to be realistic now. Don't think you can surpass their strength, because they are the rulers of this place, and we are just outsiders. Finding any clues here is like dreaming. We'd better not harbor any侥幸 (jiǎoxìng -侥幸) mentality."
Jiang Fan knew that they had to rely on them to find clues, so he had no intention of leaving immediately. Instead, he planned to help them resist the giants first.
After all, it had at least proven that the giants could be killed, so there was no need to be overly anxious. If it proved too difficult to fight them, they could simply continue to kite and fight them slowly like last time. It wasn't as difficult as imagined.
His companions nodded quickly upon hearing this. They also believed that only by helping the people of the little kingdom resist the giants could they find the clue.
These buildings were not places that Jiang Fan and his group could easily enter. Because Jiang Fan and his companions were too large, it was difficult to move within a single house, let alone find anything inside. It was like dreaming, basically impossible.
After returning to their rooms to rest, the group no longer considered this matter. They could only wait for the people of the little kingdom to tell them the clues. Wasting time here would be meaningless. It would be better to let the people of the little kingdom handle it.
"By the way, I saw the giant obey a command and then they all left. It seems that horn had a great effect on them. If we could find a horn, it might be able to do something to them. Why don't we try going up the mountain to get that horn? Then the little kingdom would be able to resist them."
