Chapter 272: Chapter 272: The Temptation of Going Home

"Are we destined to stay here forever? Playing this cat-and-mouse game with the giant day in and day out, with us as the pitiful mice, possibly becoming the big cat’s prey at any moment!" Princess Zi Yun said, her face filled with reluctance as she looked toward the mountain peak.

Shi Feng did not speak, but stared at the Blood-colored Stone Stele and the giant, which was now in a berserk state. It seemed that the key to leaving this place lay with the stele. The weirdness of this peak seemed to stem from the stele.

Even if he could reach the stele, he didn’t have full confidence in leaving this place. He placed his hopes on the Sacred Flame, believing that the Blood Demon Clan had erected the Blood-colored Stele, and the Blood Demon Clan had an unbreakable connection with the Blood Pattern Tribe.

Immediately, Shi Feng moved and leaped onto the top of a blood-colored tree.

Seeing this, Princess Zi Yun looked at Shi Feng, puzzled about what he was trying to do, but she followed him and leaped onto the top of the large blood-colored tree, standing beside Shi Feng.

Shi Feng gazed at the mountain peak and the giant warrior, and with Soul Power, he communicated to the giant, "Big fellow, do you want to leave this place?" Shi Feng’s voice resonated directly in the giant’s mind.

"Roar!" At the peak of the mountain, the berserk giant’s massive body suddenly shook. Leaving this place, leaving this place, he had yearned for it for countless years, sometimes even dreaming of leaving and seeing his tribe and loved ones.

"Who? Who is speaking!" The giant opened his mouth wide, issuing a thunderous voice, and his lantern-like eyes began to scan across the Blood-colored Peak.

"Kid, don’t play with fire. Although the Blood-colored Stone Stele was erected by the Blood Demon Clan, they are not the Blood Pattern Tribe. If you can’t break it and anger the giant, your death wouldn’t matter, but you would implicate me." At this moment, the Sacred Flame inside Shi Feng spoke.

"It’s fine. If that big guy wants my life, it won’t be that easy," Shi Feng said.

The giant’s lantern-like eyes kept moving, rotating, and turning toward Shi Feng.

Princess Zi Yun saw the giant’s lantern-like eyes staring at her, and her heart lurched with fear. She felt an overwhelming pressure that made her chest so tight she could hardly breathe. Her complexion changed dramatically, and she quickly said to Shi Feng, "He’s looking this way! Let’s run!"

At this position, if the giant took another deep breath toward them, Princess Zi Yun had no doubt that she would be blown away again.

"No worries!" Shi Feng reassured Princess Zi Yun while his voice, carrying Soul Power, transmitted into the giant’s mind. Naturally, Princess Zi Yun didn’t hear what he had said before, but Shi Feng noticed that when he had communicated with the giant just now, the giant’s body had suddenly shaken, indicating it couldn’t resist the temptation to leave this place.

"It’s you!" the giant’s two lantern-like eyes focused on Shi Feng. He spoke again in a human language with a voice like rolling thunder.

"Hmm?" Seeing the giant looking in their direction and then uttering the words "It’s you," Princess Zi Yun looked at Shi Feng with bewilderment.

Shi Feng nodded at the giant and then communicated through his soul, "It’s me!"

At this moment, not only was Princess Zi Yun baffled, but even the Martial Artists on the Blood-colored Peak heard the giant’s voice. They weren’t like Princess Zi Yun, though, standing right beside Shi Feng, and had no idea who the giant was talking to.

"Can you help me get out of here?" An excited expression appeared on the rough face of the giant as he asked.

Shi Feng didn’t answer whether he could or could not but instead used his Soul Power to directly say to the giant, "Come down, take me to the mountaintop!"

"Oh!" The giant nodded. The temptation to leave was so great that he quickly followed Shi Feng’s instructions, leaping down from the mountaintop, "Bang bang bang bang!" He began to run within the Blood-colored Peak, charging and smashing around, scattering blood-colored trees and stirring up clouds of dust. His massive body hadn’t run far when the giant came close to Shi Feng and extended his huge hand, reaching out right in front of Shi Feng.

It wasn’t that the giant trusted Shi Feng without any doubt. Rather, the temptation to leave was overwhelming. He was constantly thinking of returning to the Giant Clan’s territory, seeing his own people, his own family. If he found out that Shi Feng had deceived him, he would certainly crush him to dust in an instant.

"Alas!" The Sacred Flame within Shi Feng sighed softly. It understood the giant’s feelings of being imprisoned and losing his freedom the most. There was a time when it saw the hope of escaping the Ice Evil Punishment Heaven Array, got overexcited, was tricked by Shi Feng, believed in Shi Feng, and ended up in its current plight, aggrieved for its own sake, benefiting that accursed lad.

Without any hesitation, Shi Feng walked towards the giant’s broad, massive, and translucent palm. When Princess Zi Yun also wanted to follow Shi Feng onto the giant’s hand, Shi Feng quickly communicated through his soul, "Don’t come, it’s dangerous."

If Shi Feng went alone, he was confident he could escape, even if he couldn’t solve the mystery of the Blood-colored Stone Stele. But it would be difficult for Princess Zi Yun.

"Oh!" After hearing Shi Feng’s words, Princess Zi Yun nodded and retracted her foot.

Then, the giant put Shi Feng on his shoulder and continued to run towards the Blood-colored Peak, "Bang bang bang bang!"

In the blood-colored forest, Martial Artists were constantly watching the giant’s movements. Suddenly they saw a black figure appear on his shoulder and someone shouted, "There! Who is that person? How is he standing on the giant’s shoulder, and the giant just ran down as if to pick this person up, and now he’s running back up to the mountaintop."

"It’s him! The Black-clothed Death God!" Another person called out in shock, "He’s just like us, having just arrived at this Blood-colored Peak. How does he know this giant, and why is the giant so friendly to him, letting him stand on his shoulder, while we Martial Artists are treated like food by the giant, sucked into his mouth to be chewed and swallowed?"

"Could this Black-clothed Death God be the giant’s illegitimate son?"

"Why, why is it like this!" Yang Zhong stood on a blood-colored tree, staring at the black figure on the giant’s shoulder, murmuring in a low voice, "In the Flame Territory, those Magma Ground Fires were ultimately stolen by him too, just after entering this space, he obtained all of the Blood Red Water, and now in the Blood-colored Peak, he’s also gained this giant’s favor. I always feel, as long as I am in the same place as him, I, Yang Zhong, always seem to be a mere backdrop. Could he truly be the protagonist under this piece of the sky, while I, Yang Zhong, can only ever be completely overshadowed by him?"

Yang Zhong clenched his fists tightly, filled with unwillingness, his face becoming increasingly ferocious, and his body began to tremble slightly.
