Chapter 770

The giant pushed the door open and entered. In his other hand, he was holding a basin that Zi Chen normally used to wash his face. The basin seemed to be filled with a liquid that emitted white steam. The air was filled with a pungent smell of medicine.

"You're awake," the giant said when he saw that Zi Chen had woken up.

The giant's voice was loud and clear, like the volume of a quarrel between humans. Moreover, his pronunciation was slightly strange. Zi Chen could barely understand him.

Zi Chen nodded. Kindness appeared in his eyes as he asked, "You saved me."

To the giant, Zi Chen's voice was soft and gentle. Naturally, his pronunciation was also strange. There was a strange look in his eyes, but he didn't say anything. He placed the basin on the stone table and said, "When I went out to hunt some savage beasts, I found you hiding and fainting. At that time, a savage beast approached you and paced around you. I killed it and brought you back."

After hearing what happened, Zi Chen immediately expressed his gratitude. Then, he looked at the giant and hesitated for a moment. In the end, he didn't ask where his spirit ring and battle armor went.

"Drink the medicinal liquid. It will help your body recover." Zi Chen was already able to stand up. The giant pointed at the basin on the stone table. He didn't bring it over himself.

The medicinal liquid in the basin glowed with a green light, and the smell of the medicine was very pungent. Just the smell made it hard for people to swallow. Zi Chen was grateful to the other party for saving him, but he politely refused the medicinal liquid, indicating that his injuries were not serious.

"You fainted because you lost all your strength. Moreover, I saw you vomiting blood. This medicinal liquid is good for replenishing blood and strength. It's a good thing. We drink it often," the giant said again.

Zi Chen looked at the medicinal liquid. He still didn't dare to drink it.

"Outsider, I won't harm you. Trust me." The giant lowered his head and looked at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen's face clearly showed vigilance. He quickly took two steps back and activated the extremely weak yuan energy in his body, assuming a defensive posture.

In Zi Chen's imagination, all existences on the ancient paths were enemies. Zi Chen had fought against each other on the first and second ancient paths. However, on the third ancient path, this giant had saved him.

Zi Chen had previously guessed that the other party did not know his identity and had saved the wrong person. However, now that the other party had pointed out that he was an outsider, Zi Chen could not help but be vigilant.

"Don't be nervous, I don't mean any harm. Besides, you outsiders will all get a strange disease here and become weak."

The giant looked at Zi Chen with a rare smile on his face. He then pointed a finger at Zi Chen and said, "If I wanted to deal with you, I would only need one hand, no, one finger to knock you down. So, I don't mean any harm. Drink this liquid."

Zi Chen's expression changed. The other party had only said a few words, but he had already guessed his condition. If outsiders would get sick and become weak, then didn't that mean that everyone who came here would be sealed?

The laws of the seal were not a punishment, but the laws of the world itself. The laws of the world here were used to seal yuan energy and spiritual sense.

Before Zi Chen could continue thinking, the giant left the room. However, before he left, he pointed at the medicinal liquid in the large basin.

Zi Chen walked towards the stone table that was almost as tall as he was. He looked at the large basin and couldn't help but click his tongue. "This basin should be the bowl they use."

As he approached, the unpleasant smell of the green medicinal liquid became even more intense. This made Zi Chen feel even more conflicted.

However, Zi Chen didn't feel any malice from the giant before. Moreover, if the giant wanted to kill him, he would have already made a move. There was no need for him to go through so much trouble. Thus, Zi Chen lifted the large bowl with both hands and forced the medicinal liquid into his mouth.

When the medicinal liquid entered his stomach, it was suffused with a strong bitter taste. Zi Chen grimaced, but he didn't dare to stop. He could only swallow it all in one breath. After drinking all of the medicinal liquid, Zi Chen's stomach clearly became round.

A few minutes later, Zi Chen felt as if there was a flame burning in his stomach. Zi Chen sensed that the medicinal liquid turned into energy and merged with his body. This feeling was similar to the wine he had drunk in the Starting Ground.

Zi Chen felt warm all over. His powerful physique seemed to have improved at this moment.

While Zi Chen was secretly delighted, he also seriously thought about where this place was. Clearly, this ancient road was different from the previous two.

Unable to figure it out, Zi Chen decided to go out and take a look. Zi Chen walked out of the room and saw many large houses and many giants.

There were men and women among these giants. It was easy to distinguish between the men and women. The women were slightly shorter than the men, and their towering breasts were wrapped in loose animal skins. They also wore some simple accessories on their wrists and earlobes.

The houses here were very tall. There were dozens of them, and they were densely packed together. It looked like a small village.

When Zi Chen appeared and saw the giants, the giants also saw Zi Chen. Their faces were filled with curiosity as they walked towards Zi Chen.

"He is the outsider that the Crow Barbarian chief brought back."

"Even an outsider has come to our small tribe."

"An outsider hasn't appeared for a long time. Moreover, as soon as he appeared, he would enter a large tribe. I didn't think that we would be lucky enough to have an outsider here."

The giants approached Zi Chen and looked down at him curiously. They whispered to each other, just like humans. Although the syllables were strange, Zi Chen could hear them very clearly.

Looking at the giants, they did not seem to have any hostility towards the outsider. They were more curious, which made Zi Chen feel relieved.

"Hey, outsider, it was me and the chief who saved you. I also carried you back. At that time, you were almost eaten by the savage beasts."

A giant walked out from behind the crowd and spoke to Zi Chen in a loud voice.

Zi Chen looked at the giant in front of him. To be more precise, he was looking at the giant's chest. The giant was using a vine to string his spirit ring together and hung it around his neck like a pendant.

Seeing Zi Chen looking at the pendant on his chest, the giant laughed and showed off, "How is it? Beautiful, right?"

The other giants also looked at the pendant on the giant's chest and looks of envy appeared on their faces.

"Woola, if you give me the pendant, I will be with you," a tall female giant said after taking a fancy to the spirit ring.

"Una, you are telling the truth."

The giant known as Woola's eyes lit up. Clearly, he was moved. Next, he seemed to have recalled something and said, "But Una, didn't you say that you like the chief?"

The giant known as Una did not try to hide anything and said, "Of course I like the chief. However, for the sake of this beautiful ornament, I can be with you for one hourglass."

Hearing that, a look of dissatisfaction appeared on Woola's face. However, he looked at Una and saw that she was very concerned about her beauty. In the end, he clenched his teeth and said, "No, you have to be with me for at least three, no, five hourglasses."

As he was speaking, Woola pulled open the vine rope and held the spirit ring in his hand.

At that moment, everyone's attention was focused on the spirit ring. It would appear that such an exquisite ornament had surpassed the attraction of Zi Chen, the outsider.

"No, I will only be with you."

"Five."

"Two."

"Four."

The two of them ignored Zi Chen, the original owner of the spirit ring, and began to discuss how long they would be together. Zi Chen felt slightly embarrassed. However, he had to quickly open his mouth. According to the human way of bargaining, the two of them would soon reach a deal of three hours.

Later, Zi Chen found out that the hourglass that they were talking about was actually a calculation of time. One hourglass represented one day, which was the human equivalent of one day and one night, a total of 79 hours.

Zi Chen cleared his throat and said, "I am sorry, fellows. It seems this item should be mine."

Zi Chen spoke up. His strange tone attracted the attention of the giants once more. All the giants turned to look at Zi Chen with peculiar expressions on their faces.

Woola was also carefully sizing up Zi Chen. She looked at him from head to toe until Zi Chen felt a chill run down his spine. Then, she said in a serious tone, "No, no, outsider. Although I am very interested in you, you are a man. I am not interested in men. Therefore, I cannot give you this item."

Zi Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry at Woola's reply. However, in order to take back the spirit ring, he had no choice but to explain, "What I mean is, this item is mine to begin with."

Afraid that the other party would not understand, Zi Chen pointed at his finger and said, "This item was originally on my body and I am wearing it on my finger. It is mine to begin with. Therefore, it should belong to me."

Zi Chen's explanation and actions were clearly understood by all the giants. The giant named Una looked at Woola and snorted, saying, "Woola, you actually dared to take something that belongs to an outsider. You are truly shameless."

"I saved him. Everything that belongs to him is mine. Even his body is mine. However, I, Woola, am magnanimous. I do not want him. I only want his item." Woola argued.

"This is the rule of the Barbarian Tribe. It does not apply to outsiders. Woola, hurry up and return the item to the outsider. Otherwise, I will tell the chief that you dared to touch an outsider's item. He will definitely punish you." Una scolded.

When the other giants heard this, they also began to criticize Woola. From the looks of it, these giants all had a strong sense of justice.

Woola's expression turned ugly. He seemed to be extremely fearful of the chief. However, he was extremely unwilling to hand over the spirit ring. His expression kept changing. He was probably thinking of a way to keep the spirit ring.

After a while, he held the spirit ring tightly and said, "This outsider is lying. I picked this item up when I was out hunting a savage beast. It is not his. He is lying."

Naturally, the giants did not believe him. They once again condemned Woola. Their loud voices were like thunder.

"We are all members of the Raven Tribe. How dare you not believe me and believe an outsider."

Woola appeared to be somewhat angry. He then said, "Don't you all believe that this item is his? Fine. Since this outsider says that this item is his, then what proof does he have? What proof does he have?"
