The melon had been hollowed out, stuffed with two plump hazel hens.
The sweetness of the fruit and the unique meaty aroma of the game intermingled, creating an intoxicatingly rich flavor.
“Haha!!” Excitedly, Liu Zhenhan rubbed his hands together, put out his cigar, picked up two branches from the ground, peeled their bark off, preparing to make chopsticks.
He had grown tired of using a spoon for his meals recently.
“Such a wonderful smell!” A voice like a muffled thunderclap echoed through the silent forest.
Liu Zhenhan raised his head.
From the leap of the campfire light, a tall figure slowly emerged from the darkness.
The figure gradually became clear – a giant, standing at a height of over seven or eight meters, clad in clothing made from lush green leaves.
Long, vine-like strands were fluttering all over, and the giant’s face was a waxen yellow hue, mixed with a faint touch of green, his hair and beard resembled the vines of an ancient tree – all green, swaying gently in the night breeze.
Was this a beggar or a giant’s battle gear?
Liu Zhenhan was first dumbfounded, then burst into a snort of laughter.
“Traveler of the night, your food smells great!” The giant seemed to fear fire and circled around the fireplace to Liu Zhenhan’s side.
Liu Zhenhan looked up at him.
Emerging from under the giant’s leaf clothing were two massive muscular legs, devoid of any hair, skin patterned like the annual rings of a tree.
“Care to join me?” Liu Zhenhan asked, waving his melon stuffed with hen at the giant.
“Oh, thank you so much!” The giant squatted down, his massive body obscuring the night sky behind him.
“You’re so big, I’m afraid this won’t be enough for you!
You must be a Titan Giant, right?
I’ve heard that Cyclopes could be about seven or eight meters tall.” Liu Zhenhan said, pretending to be quite knowledgeable.
“Titan Giant?” The giant laughed heartily as he swallowed a hazel hen whole, still chewing as he responded, “Traveler of the night, I’m no Titan Giant, those fellas with brains as dense as stones, I’ve nothing to do with them!”
“Slow down, won’t you?
How do you swallow even the bones?” Liu Zhenhan saw the giant eat, horrified.
His eating manners were even worse than his own, “Try this!”
Liu Zhenhan took out the water bladder of a Larza Beast, shaking it vigorously before handing it to the giant.
He had filled it a few days ago with spring water and left a Turtle Bead soaking in there for days now, not having needed to drink it himself yet.
“What’s this?” The giant asked curiously, struggling to hold the Larza Beast bladder with his coarse fingers.
“It’s wine.” Liu Zhenhan replied.
I have some too.” The giant’s eyes sparkled, and it felt as though he’d found a comrade. Googlᴇ search NoveI★Fire.net
He took out a giant wooden jug from within his leafy attire and passed it to Liu Zhenhan.
Liu Zhenhan took the jug and felt the heaviness in his hand.
The jug easily weighed fifty or sixty pounds.
The jug was naturally formed with a brown exterior, polished until it was smooth.
It was so unique that it was hard to believe.
“Not a bad taste.” Liu Zhenhan removed the wooden cork and took a sip, and a sweet fruity taste lingered in his mouth.
The giant laughed heartily, uncorking Liu Zhenhan’s water bladder and chugging it.
“Pff…” The giant spat all of the wine he had just drunk out, extinguishing the bonfire with a loud “plop” that shot the fire up high, billowing a black cloud into the air and blackening the dangling tree branches with sparks.
The giant fell onto the grass, shaking the towering spruce behind him, and a large pile of nuts fell to the ground.
“What’s wrong?” Liu Zhenhan jumped in fright.
“Your wine is too strong!” The giant’s face turned green, “What kind of wine is it?”
“It’s water that had been soaking a Star-tailed turtle’s turtle bead for several days.” Liu Zhenhan said disbelievingly, taking back his water bladder, sampling a drop and an intense burning sensation followed the saliva down to his stomach.
“That’s some strong booze!” Liu Zhenhan was panting and tonguing, picking up the giant’s jug and chugging it.
“A Star-tailed turtle’s bead?
How old was that Star-tailed turtle?” The giant moved further away from the sizzling fire.
“It’s over a thousand years old.” Liu Zhenhan picked out the black turtle bead, the size of a pigeon egg, from his water bladder and showed it to the giant.
“With a bead from a thousand-year-old Star-tailed turtle soaked in so little water for several days, you planned to drink it?” The giant looked at him as if he were mad.
“What’s wrong with that?” Liu Zhenhan was a bit puzzled.
“This high degree of alcohol could kill you!” The giant was exasperated.
The ignorant human in front of him first mistook his identity, and then joyfully almost got himself killed by this terrifying fire.
“Then what’s the use of it?
I’d rather drink your wine.” Liu Zhenhan poured out the wine from the water bladder onto the fire, grabbed the giant’s wooden jug firmly, and took a few gulps of the sweet wine every now and then.
