Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 281: Meeting the Giants

The group appeared before a huge desert on flat ground. However, led by Yue Xuexia, they stopped a few steps before this flat land. Crown Prince Rasheed and the father and son with him were also bewildered, after all, the way before they looked safe to walk through.

The crown prince said, "Hal sanamdi fi hadha altariqi? limadha tawaqafat faj’atun?"

Translation: [Are we going to walk through this way? Why did you suddenly stop?]

He was about to lead the way and check the path for the group, but his back collar was caught by the Snake God.

With a reprimanding tone, the Snake God said, "Hadha al ahmaq al saghira! Hal yumkinuk astikhdam hawasik litahasus almintaqat awlaan min khilal mithl hadha alfakhi alwadihi!"

Translation: [This little fool! Can you use your senses to feel the area first before going through such an obvious trap!]

The people of the sand country plus Tan Bingyu were surprised to learn that the peaceful path before them was a trap. Tan Bingyu frowned as she tried to spread her senses, only to feel something block it when she tried to see through the sand.

Tan Bingyu said, "Hadhih alrimal tueiq hawasi al’iilahiati."

Translation: [This sand is blocking my divine senses.]

Snake God slightly nods his head in agreement with Tan Bingyu’s words as he tries to do so as well, and his divine senses are also blocked. He looked at his human saint and disciple.

He pulled back his careless disciple, and one of his shoes fell into the area where the path begins. At first, there was no problem. It was just that the fallen shoes kept rolling as if this flat path was sliding toward the center itself.

Lord Junna and Noble Yunas were stunned by that scene. In their eyes, they felt that the prince’s shoes were rolling in a flat space rather than downwards. Until it finally reacted to the center and the whole space started swirling. This flat-looking path was a huge quicksand.

Crown Prince Rasheed and the other mortals were startled. Such a huge quicksand, and it was quite deadly. It would only move and sink when the weight reaches the center of the path, making it hard for those who walk through to escape.

Woah!

Crown Prince Rasheed exclaims, "Mithl hadhih alrimal almutaharikat aldakhmati! laqad kan haqana fakhaa!"

Translation: [Such a huge quicksand! It was truly a trap!]

Noble Lord Yunas frowned, "Kayf lam yulahiz ’ahad hadhih alrimal almutaharikat aldakhmat eabr alqamar alsinaeii? Min ghayr al mumkin ’an yazala fi halat subat li’anah sayakun hunak bialtaakid baed alhayawanat alati tamuru eabr hadha altariqi."

Translation: [How come no one noticed this huge quicksand through the satellite? There is no way it would remain dormant, as there will definitely be some animals passing through such a route.]

The Snake God said, "Hal nasit ’anana dakhalna ’aradi shakhs akhara? Al’ajnas alati kanat laha silat bialfatrat albidayiyat sayakun ladayha dayman tariqatan li’iikhfa’ wujudiha. Hunak tashkilu, fi lisan ealamik, kan hunak hajiz yuhit bihadha aljuz’ min alhalwaa. Laqad kanat nuskhatan ’aqala min namudhaj alhajiz almuhit bimawqie khaymatik min qibala. La yumkin lihadha siwaa altamwih wala indimaj mae altadaris walakin la yumkin ’an yajeal min almustahil aleuthur ealaa almawqae."

Translation: [Have you forgotten that we have entered someone else’s territory? Races that had connections to the primordial period would always have a way to hide their presence. There’s a formation, in your world’s tongue, a barrier surrounding this part of the dessert. It was a lesser version of the barrier around your tent location from before. This one can only camouflage and blend with the terrain. However, it cannot make the location impossible to find.]

Taiyang said, "La tuqarin tashkilati aldifaeiat alealiat aljawdat bitashkilat munkhafidat aljawdati."

Translation: [Don’t compare my high-grade defensive formation to a low-grade one.]

He added after picking a rough stone, which can be considered uncommon in the desert.

"Eilawatan ealaa dhalika, min al sahl tadmir hadha alnawe min altashkil aldifaeii."

Translation: [Moreover, this kind of defensive formation is easy to destroy.]

Taiyang was about to flick the stone in his hand when it was blocked by Shen Jueyang, who caught it before it flew off. It turned to dust by the sheer impact after hitting Shen Jueyang’s hand.

Shen Jueyang said, "Tawaqaf ean allaeab. hunak yukhrijuna."

Translation: [Stop playing around. They are coming out.]

Everyone turned silent as they looked at the flat path of sand before them. They didn’t notice when the quicksand had halted. However, they can see figures coming from the center of the path. It was weird. They didn’t notice these people until they were a few meters close to the location where they stood.

Tan Bingyu stood before her mistress, showing a gesture of protection. Lord Junna also stood before his father and the crown prince. It was only when the group from the desert had gotten closer that they realized how tall these men were. Moreover, most of them were muscular and unexpectedly handsome. They are more than ten feet tall and almost twice the size of an ordinary adult.

There are at least only five men that come out of the quicksand before them. As soon as these men stood before them, they felt towering. Except for Taiyang, Shen Jueyang, and Yueyue, the rest were on guard and terrified. This is the first time they met such tall people. They are even taller than the tallest man in the world, who was 8 feet plus in height.

Tan Bingyu turned completely serious and held her sword. Lord Junna and Noble Lord Yunas also pulled out their weapons and were completely on guard. The looming shadow over them shows how tall these beings are in front of them. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

However, unexpectedly, the frightened Crown Prince calmed down after looking at the giants. He saw that except for their height, these people had similar features as they are humans. Moreover, like him, their curiosity towards the human race is equally the same.

The one in the lead of the giants looked at their group and noticed their reaction. Two were indifferent, one innocently interested, three on guard, and the last one was frightened at first but looked at them with curiosity and admiration. Unexpectedly, there is no disdain or fear in the eyes of these humans, which they didn’t expect.

A giant race language resounds in the area. In the ears of the humans, it sounds like gibberish instead. However, for some beings from the immortal realm, this language was the most common language, the ancient language.

The leading giant said, "Humans, we art the sand giant raceth. Our chief did want to meeteth thee. Wouldst thee liketh to cometh to our village?"

Translation: [Humans, we are the Sand Giant Race. Our chief wanted to meet you. Would you like to come to our village?]

Aside from the Snake God, Taiyang, and Shen Jueyang, the rest couldn’t understand the ancient language that was spoken. Yue Xuexia was still looking at the giants and tilted her head. Not because she couldn’t understand, but because the system once again resounds in her head.

[A new sign-in location had been detected. The Fallen Sand Giant Tomb, would the host like to sign in to get the rewards?]

Yue Xuexia looked confused as the system treated the Giant Race’s home as a tomb. That’s why she looked so confused. She wanted to ask Shen Jueyang about it but the situation didn’t allow it. She decided to sign first before thinking about what to do next.

She responded through her thoughts. ’I would like to sign in, System?’

Once again, that robotic wording is completely different from Shen Jueyang’s voice that resounds in her head.

[Ding! The host had successfully signed in to the Fallen Sand Giant Tomb.]

[Congratulations! The host received the following as sign-in rewards: Ancient Language, Gigantification Skill (Awakening Stage), and Heart Piece of an Ancient Giant.]

[Skills are integrated into the host’s body and can only be explored and appraised once used. The Heart Piece was placed in the host’s personal inventory.]

[Please enter the Tomb and sign in the altar of Gods.]

After saying these words, Yue Xuexia woke up from the daze and noticed a giant squatting in front of her trying to meet her eye level. She was a bit startled meeting those pairs of eyes.

The giant said, "Thee’ve woken up. We bethought thee hadst suff’r’d from a heateth stroketh. A satteth in front of thee to block the travelling lamp, how art thee humour dram one?"

Translation: [You’ve woken up. We thought you had suffered from a heat stroke. A sat in front of you to block the sun. How are you feeling, little one?]

Yue Xuexia can feel the worry of these big guys and feel that they are innocently cute despite their large size. She smiled at them and looked friendly, as she couldn’t feel any malice from these giants.

She said in an ancient language, "I’m good now anon. Thanketh thee, kind uncle! Nice to meeteth thee, mine own nameth is Yue Xuexia. Thee can calleth me, Xiao Yue!"

Translation: [I’m alright now. Thank you, kind uncle! Nice to meet you, my name is Yue Xuexia. You can call me Xiao Yue!]

Everyone was startled when they heard Yue Xuexia speak in the ancient language; even Shen Jueyang didn’t expect this. However, the giants were delighted knowing that there wouldn’t be any obstacle between the groups as they conversed.
