save the bachelors

Chapter 4481 [Sea Giant]

The giants were cooking at this time.

They skewered a whale that was more than ten meters long using skewers made from large tree trunks and roasted it directly on the campfire.

While roasting, they used two or three meter long knife to slice the roasted whale meat and eat it. In fact, the meat was not cooked well, and each piece was still bloody, but they still ate it.

The mermaids they caught were locked in cages and soaked in a pond on the island. It was called a pond, but in the eyes of the giants, it was probably just a small puddle.

“Sing, sing... otherwise... I’ll roast you... and eat you…” said the giant leader, waving the long knife in his hand.

The mermaids were so frightened that they began to sing.

The giants listened to the singing while eating slices of whale meat.

Xiang Nan was quite surprised when he saw this scene.

The purpose of these giants capturing mermaids was not to eat them, but to listen to their singing, just like people raising orioles, larks, and thrushes.

What surprised him even more was that although these giants seemed to live a primitive and backward life, eating raw meat and drinking blood, he clearly saw huge blacksmith furnaces, anvils, hammers and other tools on the island, and it seemed that these giants were very good at making weapons.

"The knives they use are indeed very sharp." Xiang Nan thought to himself when he saw this.

Although mermaids are beautiful, due to the regression of civilization, they are not good at making weapons and still hunt by tearing with their hands and biting with their teeth.

The civilization of the Gill people was also very backward. They could only use stone chisels and hammers. Although they had a large amount of minerals, they did not know how to smelt or forge them.

But the giants were obviously different. They seemed to be very good at making weapons. The knives they used to cut the whales were very sharp, shining with cold light, and not stained with blood. It was obvious at a glance that they were very sophisticated weapons.

"No wonder. The books of Atlantis all record that the giants are good at smelting and making weapons." Xiang Nan thought immediately.

According to the records in the Atlantis collection, Zeus's thunderbolt scepter, Hades's invisibility helmet and Poseidon's trident were all made with the help of the giants.

So it is not surprising that giants are good at making weapons.

……

As he was watching, Xiang Nan suddenly noticed that the hammer standing next to the blacksmith furnace seemed to be flashing a strange light.

"This seems to be a treasure." Xiang Nan immediately moved over and saw that the hammer looked inconspicuous, but when he got closer he could see that there were complex and delicate patterns engraved on the hammer.

There was a string of ancient Greek letters on the hammer handle, but most of it was covered by thick mud, so Xiang Nan had to look carefully to recognize that it was actually a name - Argus.

Xiang Nan knew that Argus was the son of Gaia and Uranus, the first generation of gods in Greek mythology, and should be the uncle of Zeus.

However, Argus was a member of the Cyclops clan. Because of their ugly appearance, this clan was imprisoned in the underworld by Uranus since birth.

Later, in order to overthrow the rule of his father, Kranos, Zeus rescued these Cyclops from Hades. In order to repay their kindness, the Cyclops helped Zeus, Poseidon and Hades forge weapons.

After that, the Cyclops were able to multiply and thrive, and it is not surprising that the sea giants are the descendants of the Cyclops, so they possess the hammer of their ancestor Argus.

"Since this is the Cyclops' hammer, it must be a divine weapon." Xiang Nan couldn't help but admire the hammer that was much bigger than him.

……

At this time, the giants had finished eating the whale that was more than ten meters long. Then they lay on the ground, burping, and fell asleep with their heads on the hill.

Seeing this, Xiang Nan hurried forward.

"Priest, you are here to save us~"

"The priest is here, come and save us~"

"Great, the priest is here, come and save us~" The mermaids said excitedly when they saw Xiang Nan.

"Shh, don't make noise. I'll open the iron cage and let you out." Xiang Nan said as he walked to the iron cage.

The cage was quite large, made of steel, with each steel bar as thick as Xiang Nan's waist. The cage had only five sides, shaped like a big bowl, just enough to hold the mermaid inside.

But because the cage was so big and heavy, the mermaid was not strong enough to lift it, so she couldn't escape even if she wanted to.

"The cage is too heavy. We can't lift it." The mermaids said worriedly.

"Then don't worry." Xiang Nan said, and he used the Great Shift of the Universe. In an instant, the iron cage weighing ten thousand pounds was lifted up by him.

Several mermaids were shocked when they saw this.

The iron cage was so heavy that they could not move it at all even with all their strength. Who would have thought that Xiang Nan would just wave his hand and the iron cage would be lifted up. It was really amazing.

Immediately, several mermaids scrambled out from the gap below.

Xiang Nan gently put down the iron cage, then used the Great Shift of the Universe to take out several mermaids from the pool and released them all back into the sea.

Several mermaids felt a gentle force wrapping them gently, and then they returned to the sea as if flying in the clouds. Everything seemed like a dream.

"Do you know how to go back?" Xiang Nan asked.

“Yes,” the mermaids said in unison.

They are the people of Atlantis and can find their way home automatically.

"Then hurry back, your people are waiting for you." Xiang Nan said.

"Thank you, priest." Several mermaids said gratefully after hearing this, and then they dived into the water and disappeared in an instant.

……

After the mermaids left, Xiang Nan came to the Hammer of Argus, looked at the hammer and wanted to take it away.

But even if he could take such a big hammer away, he probably wouldn't be able to use it.

After all, the handle of the hammer alone was as tall as four of him, and as thick as two people hugging each other. With such a big hammer, only a giant could wield it.

"But, can it be like the Frost Wristguard?" Xiang Nan placed his hand on the Hammer of Argus, "I hope you can be smaller~"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Hammer of Argus indeed emitted a strange light and then shrank several times.

"It's amazing!" Xiang Nan was amazed when he saw it, "Smaller, smaller~"

As he kept asking, the Hammer of Argus gradually became smaller.

After a moment, it had returned to its normal hammer size.

Xiang Nan lifted the hammer with the handle and almost sprained his waist.

I saw that the hammer was really heavy, at least ten thousand pounds.

"What a heavy hammer." Xiang Nan exclaimed, and then he picked it up. "A hammer weighing ten thousand pounds is perfect for using to kill someone."

Who would have thought that such a small hammer could actually weigh 10,000 pounds? If it were to hit someone, even a person with a copper skin and iron bones would be deformed.

However, Xiang Nan believed that this hammer would not be that simple.
