Second Simulation

It was a giant standing around fifteen meters tall, its entire body bluish-black and covered in a thick layer of Bluestone Armor.

The Bluestone Armor, over half a meter thick, wrapped around not only the giant's limbs and torso, but also its relatively vulnerable joints and neck.

"(⊙o⊙)..."

Staring up at the mountain-like Armored Titan, the burly mercenary who had been acting so ferocious moments ago was trembling so badly that he did not even notice his Tiger Head Broadsword had fallen from his hand.

Meanwhile, Xiao Feng, positioned inside the Armored Titan's nape, felt as though his entire body had been immersed in a warm, comfortable hot spring. His field of vision had suddenly risen much higher as well.

From Xiao Feng's current perspective, the burly mercenary, who had originally stood nearly two meters tall, now looked like a kitten.

Transforming into the Armored Titan for the first time, Xiao Feng tried raising his right foot and kicking at the burly mercenary.

Since there was less than five meters between the mercenary and the Armored Titan, he had no time to dodge. He could only watch helplessly as the massive bluestone foot grew larger and larger in his vision.

Bang!!!

Like a football, the burly mercenary was sent flying by the Armored Titan's kick without the slightest ability to resist, crashing into the dense forest.

Rumble...

Driven by the immense force of the impact, several trees as thick as water barrels were snapped cleanly in half, causing a thunderous crash.

"M-Monster..."

The other mercenaries' expressions changed drastically at the sight. They fled in panic.

"Since you came, you can all stay!"

Looking down expressionlessly at the mercenaries scattering like rats, Xiao Feng raised his massive foot and stomped down on them with all his strength.

Although the Armored Titan was relatively clumsy, that was only compared to other intelligent Titans. It was still far faster than the mercenaries present.

Splat! Splat! Splat...

Under Xiao Feng's control, the Armored Titan became a grim reaper harvesting lives. Every step took a mercenary's life, leaving behind a huge footprint more than half a meter deep and a mangled heap of flesh beyond recognition.

"W-What is that thing?!"

"A Stone Giant? Could it be some humanoid Magical Beast?"

"Oh no! It's coming this way..."

The commotion caused by the Armored Titan's battle was enormous and soon alerted the other mercenaries in Green Mountain Town.

Seeing the Armored Titan steadily approaching Green Mountain Town, everyone immediately treated it as a grave threat. Even the leaders of the Three Major Mercenary Groups were alarmed.

Hisss...

Just as everyone wore solemn expressions and prepared to receive the Armored Titan's first charge, it suddenly stopped. Vast amounts of white mist burst from the gaps in its Bluestone Armor.

When the white mist gradually dispersed, everyone discovered in astonishment that the imposing Bluestone Giant had vanished into thin air.

Only after quite a while did everyone recover their senses. They could not help letting out long sighs of relief, feeling as though they had narrowly escaped death.

Based on their experience hunting Magical Beasts, while powerful Magical Beasts were not necessarily enormous, enormous Magical Beasts were usually not weak.

That humanoid Magical Beast, which stood over fifteen meters tall, was at least a Third Order Magical Beast and might even have been a Fourth-Order Magical Beast.

If that Bluestone Giant had truly charged into Green Mountain Town, none of the mercenaries present would have been able to stop it. The entire town might have been destroyed.

After waiting for more than an hour, someone finally could not suppress his curiosity and headed toward the place where the Armored Titan had disappeared.

When those people arrived near the battlefield, all they found were enormous footprints, dozens of heaps of flesh too mangled to identify, and dozens of trees lying haphazardly on the ground.

Combining this with the news that Xiao Feng had entered the Monster Mountain Range earlier, people soon guessed that the mercenaries trampled to death by the giant were likely those who had intended to murder him and seize his treasures.

Of course, no one suspected that the Armored Titan had been Xiao Feng's transformation. They merely thought that Xiao Feng and the others had been unlucky enough to encounter a terrifying humanoid Magical Beast.

Many believed that Xiao Feng was already dead, perhaps among those unidentifiable heaps of flesh.

In order to seize the Storage Ring Xiao Feng might have left behind, those mercenaries began fighting over the heaps of flesh, plunging the area into another round of chaos.

Meanwhile, Xiao Feng, the culprit behind it all, entered the outer region of the Monster Mountain Range and began searching the cliffs closest to Green Mountain Town one by one.

According to the original plot, a cave dwelling left behind by a Dou Wang expert was hidden on a cliff near Green Mountain Town. It not only contained many precious medicinal herbs, but also a Fragment Map of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.

Unfortunately, Xiao Feng had arrived in Green Mountain Town too early—at least a year before Xiao Yi Xian would discover that Dou Wang cave dwelling.

Therefore, Xiao Feng could only use the most foolish method and investigate every cliff near Green Mountain Town.

Fortunately, there were not many cliffs near Green Mountain Town, only six in total. At most, it would take Xiao Feng half a month to investigate them all.

Xiao Feng's luck was not particularly good. After arriving at the first cliff, he spent several hours conducting a rough search. Though he found several caves on the cliff, they were all ordinary caves without any treasure.

"Forget it! It's getting late. I'll rest for today and search the second cliff tomorrow!"

Xiao Feng looked up at the distant setting sun and ultimately gave up on moving at night. He found a cave on the face of the cliff and climbed inside.

After entering the spacious, dry cave, Xiao Feng first sprinkled some medicinal powder near the entrance to repel insects, then took out some cooked food and fruit wine to enjoy.

As he ate dinner, Xiao Feng summoned his Character Attribute Panel. It displayed:

Name: Xiao Feng

Bloodline: Armored Titan

Cultivation Technique: Xun Dragon Nine Transformations

Dou Skills: Storm Split Dance, Phantom Shadow Step, Lion Mountain Split, Swift Wind Steps

Seeing that the Merit on his attribute panel had increased by more than two thousand points, Xiao Feng nodded in satisfaction before silently saying, Begin simulation!

"Ding! Randomly selecting a Simulation World..."

"Ding! Simulation World selection complete!"

Soon, the familiar lottery box appeared again. After spinning rapidly for a while, it finally displayed four large characters: Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.

"Ding! Please choose a simulation method!"
