Chapter 485

Thunder roared in the sky, and Ren walked through the palaces of the Temple of Storms.

The scene here has not changed from last year. The buildings are tall and magnificent like the kingdom of the gods, but most of the area is shrouded in darkness, and the outline of the ruins is illuminated by the lightning across the sky from time to time. Even the bright places are deserted. Walking in it is like wandering in a strange city with no one there. Occasionally, you can meet two or three storm giants and cast curious glances at Ren.

The storm giant didn't step forward to question, most of them withdrew their gaze and continued walking.

There are also some whispered conversations with the companions around him. Ren’s voice of all things heard the giant language dialogue: “He is the human who visited the temple last year. He came back so soon. He should have collected a little source crystal and wants to exchange it for something. .”

"How much can you collect in such a short time?" A storm giant sneered.

"Too."

The giant who spoke in front did not diverge: "The elders provide so many good things, it is really a waste. For humans, even the cheapest ones can be sold at a very high price when they are taken back to the main material world. He should be more impatient. That's normal too."

"There is no other way. It is a good thing that he can bring source crystals." Another storm giant sighed: "It is becoming more and more difficult to mine source crystals in the storm plane. The elders can only trade with outsiders at a premium. Otherwise, Titan The furnace has been maintained for less than a hundred years, the area activated by the temple has shrunk and affected the breeding hall, and our population will decrease again..."

The voice of the storm giant lowered and gradually moved away.

Ren didn't look back at those storm giants, and continued to walk forward, with thoughtful eyes, it turns out that the situation of the Temple of Storms has become so critical!

The most glorious Second Era of the Storm Giant has ended for tens of thousands of years.

Now the main material world of Ellenus is dominated by human beings. With only one Titan elder demigod and two or three hundred giants, it is too difficult to gain a foothold in the material world, and it is difficult to resist people's greedy eyes on the storm giant. Moreover, the obedient meaning is that the continuation of the storm giant's race is inseparable from the temple, and the temple is maintained by the energy of the Titan's furnace, so the source crystal has become the most critical material.

Elder Solim did not hesitate to trade all his wealth for Yuanjing.

The storm giant in the temple is also used to outsiders, so it can be seen that the person who made a deal with Elder Sorim must be far more than himself.

But Rennes can be sure of one thing, that is, the empire and surrounding countries, including Congatro, should have no competitors.

Otherwise, those source crystal mines would have been monopolized long ago.

"I just don't know how many pounds of source crystals the Temple of Storms consumes in a year?" Ren thought to himself. If he could get the data and speculate on the urgency of Elder Solim's demand for the source crystal, then he could take some initiative in the transaction, and maybe even get a discount.

Such a large Titan furnace, even if its energy conversion efficiency is comparable to that of a nuclear reactor, would it cost thousands of pounds a year?

Ren roughly estimated that the efficiency of the Titan furnace should be inferior to that of a nuclear reactor.

Even lower by one or two orders of magnitude.

The lower the efficiency, the more fuel, that is, the source crystals are consumed each year. It is definitely not enough to survive without thousands of pounds a year, and tens of thousands of pounds is also possible. It is not enough for Elder Solim to do business with people, he mainly mines in the Storm Plane, or expeditions to other planes.

Ren thought further and further, and when he exchanged the knowledge of Titan runes and mastered them, he should be able to get accurate data.

"Athena!"

"Purtos!"

A noise came from the side of the road leading to the Temple of the Furnace, even though it was hundreds of meters away, Ren could hear it clearly without the Voice of Everything. He followed the reputation and saw that there was a wide square with an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters. The ground was covered with a layer of Titan blue iron, and there was a stone terrace on one side. There was a whole row of huge stone pillars around the square.

Ren read out the giant text on the stone pillar: "Thor Arena."

This is a magnificent arena!

At this time, there were more than a dozen storm giants sitting in the stands, each cheering for the two giants who were fighting in the arena. Giants, male or female, their voices were as loud as thunder, and they could be heard far away in the empty Temple of Storms, but they couldn't cover up the sound of fierce battle.

Ren looked at the two storm giants, and his expression changed slightly.

It was a man and a woman, and both were legends.

The male storm giant is about eight meters tall, his limbs are as strong as a column, and his muscles are extremely developed. He is bare upper body, and his metallic blue skin is flowing with lightning bolts. With a beautiful face, a pair of eyes full of lightning, and a golden beard on his chin, he looks like a god descending from the earth.

He holds a two-handed giant sword, which is more than five meters long from the hilt to the blade!

This is the largest weapon Ryan has ever seen. The width of the blade is as wide as a real door panel, and the visual weight is close to 10,000 pounds. It should not be much worse than his own Thor's Hammer.

The giant sword was held in the giant's hand, but it didn't appear to be bulky or slow at all.

The speed of the storm giant is very fast, and when it swings the sword, it makes a terrible howling sound, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and a single sword can cause terrible power. Looking at Ellenus, few legends can catch it head-on.

In fact, the soul's eye sees him as a legendary high-ranking storm troll.

Converted to the soul strength of an extraordinary person, it is equivalent to level nineteen.

Moreover, the legendary giant's fighting skills are very superb, and the style is simple and unpretentious. The gap between the swords is accompanied by two spells of lightning and wind elements, either to attack the opponent or to bless himself. There is no weakness in strength, defense and speed.

However, he was completely suppressed by his opponent at this moment.

Ren looked at his opponent. This was a female storm giant. Her height was actually comparable to that of a male storm giant, over eight meters!

But her figure was slimmer and more symmetrical, and her face looked younger.

Her skin was a light bronze color, and her muscles were strong and strong. She didn't seem to explode like the male storm giant, but she contained terrifying power. Every time she confronted, she could knock her opponent back and easily gain the upper hand.

This female storm giant has dazzling long golden hair tied into a neat ponytail. Instead of a helmet, she wears a jeweled headband. Her face is dozens of times larger than a human's and has exquisite facial features. , the proportions are perfect, and it actually gave Ren a sense of surprise, as if seeing a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth.

During the battle, her expression revealed a sense of determination and courage, the ponytail behind her head flicked back and forth, and she wore a battle armor made of Titan blue iron, showing her arms and long legs, which perfectly set off her figure, and she was heroic. The temperament is mesmerizing.

"This is the real 'big long legs'!"

Ren smiled wretchedly in his heart. According to visual inspection, her legs were five meters long, and she was wearing a metal battle skirt and high combat boots, revealing the part above the knee and below the mid-thigh, which was not a standard "absolute field".

He joked in his heart, but he didn't dare to underestimate him.

The characteristics of this female storm giant are obvious, the bronze skin, the terrifying thunder and lightning aura on her body, and the height far beyond her age all indicate that she is a titan!

The eye of the soul also confirmed this.

There are two legendary elements in her soul, "Titan Power" and "Immortal Body", these two elements alone make Renn look sideways.

In addition, there are many transcendent elements such as "thunder body", level seven "quickness", tenth level "toughness", "bloody rage", "electric energy skin", etc., the physical quality is terrifyingly strong, and the defense and magic resistance have reached the extreme. More than a dozen elements of combat skills have been trained to the upper limit of the element level.

For example, a simple heavy hit is level five.

There are also Charge, Anger Strike, Power Explosion, Shadow Thrust, Shockwave, Whirlwind, Battle Roar, Precise Block, etc. Almost none of them have reached the upper limit, and they are definitely masters of melee combat.

Not to mention, as a storm giant, she has also mastered a series of lightning spells, the number of which is no less than that of melee elements, and the power is extremely amazing.

"What a young Titan!"

Ren couldn't help being amazed.

Titan giants are advanced from legendary giants, not limited to storm giants, other high-level giants may also advance. Generally speaking, titans are at least high-level legendary, but there are exceptions. A few giants with outstanding talents can advance to titans at mid-level legendary.

Apparently this is the case with this female storm giant.

Ren's soul eye sees through her details. She is only a middle-level legend, which is equivalent to a fifteenth-level extraordinary person. There is a thin line between her and the high-level legend, and she may break through at any time.

But judging from the growth rings of her soul, she should have just reached adulthood.

The infancy of the storm giant is half shorter than that of the dragon, and she enters adulthood at the age of fifty, that is to say, she is just in her early fifties.

Most of the storm giants supported the young titan, mostly male, calling her name loudly: "Athena."

Ren stopped to watch this wonderful battle.

Athena held a huge round shield in her left hand, and a one-handed sword that shone with lightning in her right hand. She didn't blindly suppress her opponent with strength, and her footsteps were flexible and changeable. Every time her opponent Puertos swung his sword to attack, she was blocked accurately by the round shield in her hand, and then counterattacked with her sword.

There was lightning on her sword, and she could always break through Puertos' defense at the most tricky angle, leaving a scar on his body.

But she was still calm and steady.

From time to time, dodging the opponent's spells or fighting hard, incarnate lightning to distance or approach, the figures of the two giants flashed and chased in the huge arena, and every time they confronted, there was a burst of lightning and deafening roar.

The storm giants watching the battle waved their flags and shouted, blushing with excitement.

Ren has already seen that Athena's strength is more than one step higher than her opponent, and it is not difficult to win, but it seems that she does not want to use her full strength prematurely, but wants to hone her skills through fighting.

He watched for several minutes.

Gradually, there were more and more scars on Puertos' body. The thunder and lightning remaining on the wounds inhibited the speed of recovery, quickly consumed his physical strength, and began to be a little bit unable to resist, unable to keep up with the fierce fighting rhythm of the opponent.

On the other hand, Athena still seemed very relaxed.

She wasn't even hit by Puertos' giant sword once, she was either blocked or dodged, and she easily resisted a few spells that hit her, leaving no scars on her skin.

The outcome is clear at a glance.

Ren shook his head. Puertos's strength is also the peak of legend in the outside world, but he is just an ordinary legendary giant after all. He has no advanced level and lacks legendary elements. The strength accumulated by his older age is not enough to erase the Titan Giant's advantage.

As soon as his thoughts fell, he heard a loud "dang".

Athena flicked Puertos' giant sword in a shield block, charged forward, and directly smashed Puertos' defensive posture. Countless thunder and lightning erupted in his chest, and the tall giant body was blown up. It landed on the ground tens of meters away.

The shouting stopped, and the storm giants were not surprised by this result, and seemed to have been used to Athena's victory for a long time.

"Ahem... I lost again..." Puertos was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, looked at his injury, shook his head and said with a smile: "This time I persisted for a shorter time than last time, your strength has improved so fast! Well, how much strength did you use today, is it 70%?"

"That's all I can do."

Athena had already put away her weapon, put the shield behind her back, and hung the one-handed sword on her waist. With a snap, it turned into lightning and reached out her hand.

Puertos was pulled to stand up, with disbelief on his face, and helplessly said: "You don't have to worry about my dignity, if I care, I won't always agree to your challenge."

He watched Athena grow up, so he knew the character of this junior very well.

Over the years, Athena has challenged almost all the giants in the Temple of Storms. Except for a few Titans, no one is her opponent.

Athena's talent, even in the giant empire period ten thousand years ago, is a rare talent.

Elder Solim loved her very much, and he did not hesitate to give her more resources to increase her growth rate, personally built weapons and equipment for her, and often took time to give her advice. At the beginning, the giants in the temple were dissatisfied with this, thinking that the elder was eccentric, but later no one dared to object, and instead supported it very much.

All the clansmen were soon overwhelmed by Athena.

Athena has also shown talents other than fighting. She always rushes to the front when she goes out, but she does not act recklessly. It seems that she can easily see through the enemy's tactics on the battlefield and lead the tribe to victory at the lowest cost. Made great achievements many times.

Moreover, Athena's appearance is extremely beautiful, which is very rare among tall giants, and she easily wins the love of all male giants without a spouse.

It's a pity that there is no young giant who is her opponent, not even one with close strength.

Athena didn't have this kind of thought either. Every time someone expressed her affection, she directly challenged the other party and beat them black and blue. Even so, this did not extinguish the enthusiasm of the giants, and they were crazy to cheer when watching the battle.

"Forget it, that's all for today. I'll come back to compete with you after I recover from my injury." Seeing that Athena didn't admit it, Puertos didn't ask further.

He went to pick up his giant sword, and suddenly noticed that Athena's eyes were looking into the distance, and her expression changed slightly.

Turning around, he saw a small figure.

"Humanity……"

Puertos frowned. In order to trade the source crystal, the elder gave some foreign races permission to enter the Temple of Storms. It is not surprising that a human appeared here. Judging from the direction he left, he should just pass by and visit the elder.

But Athena seemed to have noticed something, her eyes lit up slightly, and after a few seconds of hesitation, she snapped and turned into lightning to catch up.
