Pretending To Be A Boss
Chapter 857 - 41: The Sudden Appearance of the Land of Eden

The status of the Zudun Giants in the Myriad Beasts Realm is quite bizarre.

They possess the strength of a perfect level boss, especially in terms of power, which is comparable to that of a disaster level, but the population of the Zudun Giants has never grown significantly.

Originally, there were over a hundred Zudun Giants. Over the long years, they seem to lack the ability to reproduce.

Other beast groups would grow in number without natural predators, while the Zudun Giants were dwindling.

The last time Tang Xian saw the migration of the Zudun Giants, there were forty.

Tang Xian was not aware of this situation.

This creature towering six hundred meters tall should have been an existence that made all beasts retreat, but in reality, the status of the Zudun Giants was quite low.

Tang Xian had never heard of Giant Island.

Even with hundreds of years of explorations by adventurers, Tang Xian had never come across the name "Giant Island" in any adventure literature.

After obtaining intelligence from the Six-Tailed Fox, Tang Xian hurried non-stop towards the east.

According to the rules of the Myriad Beasts, only those capable of taking on a human form can be granted a human name by the court.

But within the various beast tribes, there are still various forms of address.

Since the fox tribe had pledged allegiance to Jiuye, Tang Xian also gave names to several of the fox tribe elders in charge.

With names like Qing JiuYu and Qing Jiuye, where the nine-tailed fox bears the character for nine, the Six-Tailed Flame Fox naturally included the character for six.

The first elder of the Six-Tailed Foxes was revered and managed the overall affairs of the fox group. Although not as clever as Qing JiuYu, it was also considered quite spiritual among the foxes, so Tang Xian named it Six Walnuts.

The second elder was responsible for internal affairs, which meant allocating the wealth and resources of the fox group; during emergencies, the foxes would also consolidate their resources. Thus, the second elder was called Jin Liufu.

The third elder was in charge of leading combat and would often organize hunting parties for the fox tribe. The name given by Tang Xian was Liu Shanmen.

And the fourth elder responsible for executions was named Yan Xiaoliu.

The reason the fox group had survived up to this point was that these perfect level creatures chose not to act alone but cooperated as a team.

Although they didn't understand the style of human names, the fox tribe elders all had a feeling that they had been tricked.

Fortunately, the next morning, Tang Xian took Jiuye and others and headed in the direction of the easternmost lands. Taking the lead, he was away from the fox group; otherwise, Tang Xian would probably also have arranged names for the three-tailed foxes.

The Hungry Sea is located in the northwest direction of the entire region; if compared to the map of the Human World, it would be near the location of Iceland.

As for Giant Island, if it truly exists, it's probably located at the junction between the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, that is, near the Bering Strait.

So these days, Tang Xian had almost made a complete circuit of the Myriad Beasts Realm.

Being able to migrate such a long distance in such a short time was indeed thanks to Tang Feiji.

Tang Xian, who was flying on the back of the Dragon King, did not praise Tang Feiji.

Combining previous clues, Tang Xian felt there were some very strange aspects:

"Bai Shuang said that the Zudun Giants' nest is moving, but an island should be stationary. Over a thousand Zudun Giants, it seems they are guarding something. At that time, I thought it was the sarcophagus of a beast god. Considering the Destroyer's mastery of tombs and knowledge of human writing, and the fact that the galaxy is close to humans, perhaps the Lost God also knew something of human civilization."

"Have I overlooked something critical?"

Still unable to find the island, Tang Xian and Tang Feiji were still searching incessantly above the sea for the island's whereabouts, but Tang Xian could already feel that strange and oppressive sensation drawing near.

All the connections between events were clear now, and the most formidable enemies were revealing their true faces.

Yet Tang Xian always felt like he missed something somewhere.

It was the kind of omission that seemed to cause a chain reaction.

He suddenly remembered the words entrusted to Bai Shuang by his mother, Zhong Yao.

"Enter the Eden Ruins last."

What would happen if they encountered the Eden Ruins?

What if they entered the Eden Ruins ahead of time?

The holy land of Eden, just like a sacred mountain, or perhaps the sacred mountain was actually modeled after the holy land of Eden?

The moving ruins, the moving giant's nest mentioned by Bai Shuang, harboring the Tree of Eden, and the Zudun Giants who regarded it as a totem...

As the dragon flew over the sea, Tang Xian suddenly thought... what if Bai Shuang was wrong? What if that nest wasn't of the Lost Bird?

Upon this realization, Tang Xian suddenly felt a chill of horror on his back.

Not only because he thought of a possibility, but also because a familiar sensation emerged from his heart.

The sea was shrouded in thick fog, and although Tang Feiji was fast, at this moment it became vigilant, like a giant cruise ship navigating through icy seas surrounded by impenetrable fog and hidden reefs below the surface.

Tang Feiji had to slow down.

And just then, a multicolored light emerged in the sky, like a radiant aurora.

Tang Xian had a bad feeling, and as Tang Feiji approached a certain place, gigantic statues akin to mountains began to emerge from the fog-obscured vista below.

All of these statues were kneeling, as if worshiping a deity or as though their backs were bent under the weight of something immense.

Tang Xian had never seen such a scene before.

The statues were lifelike and identical to the Zudun Giants, even in their size and proportions.

Who would carve so many stone statues of Zudun Giants on such an island?
