The man carried Catherine behind the two-headed giant. He bent his knees slightly, let out a soft snort, and bounced off the trunk. With this jump, he jumped onto the giant's left shoulder. The two-headed giant noticed that something was wrong, and his left head immediately turned and glared at the two of them.

Catherine sat on the man's shoulder, always in an inexplicable state of excitement. Since she gradually evolved emotions, various feelings have been difficult to suppress by reason. For example, sitting on a man's strong shoulders and jumping in the air is an indescribable tension and excitement, as if there is a fluffy brush, constantly brushing back and forth in the heart.

The female mage didn't know much about the two-headed giants, but she knew that this kind of giants unique to the underworld were far from their relatives on the ground. The common perception is that two-headed giants are not actually sapient, and that they are closer to animals. Since this creature has two heads, it is said to have a very large appetite, as it always eats double portions each time it eats.

I don't know what time it was, there was a rumor that a two-headed giant attacked a human village. Gradually, the two-headed giants became demonized in the human world, and they were said to be monsters that ate a hundred people in one meal. As a child, Catherine had heard those scary legends. To this day, in some remote villages, you can still find the nursery rhyme of "two-headed giants and bad boys".

So when the two-headed giant glared at Catherine, the female mage panicked. She almost didn't fall off the man's shoulder, if it weren't for the man holding her legs tightly.

The two-headed giant's face was rather ugly, with two large nostrils facing the sky, and it seemed to have two holes embedded in its face. Thick, messy brown nose hairs grew from the nostrils, like a hard bush. Its eyes are just above its nostrils and are about the same size as its nostrils, and at first glance it appears to have four eyes. However, the eyeballs are yellow, and the whites of the eyes are barely visible. The two-headed giant has no ears and eyebrows, a wide mouth, blackened gums exposed, and canine teeth turned out. This dignity is really more like a beast.

However, the two-headed giants have a peculiarity, they have long hair. These hairs grow from one head to the other and connect the two heads together. According to the two-page "Goblin Encyclopedia" collected by a royal family in the Eastern Continent, if the hair of the two-headed giant grows together, then the minds of the two heads will connect, resulting in wisdom.

The two-headed giant that Catherine is facing now is precisely the two-headed giant with his hair growing together. So it seemed to think as it glared at the man and the mage, and leaned over to look at Catherine carefully.

In those few seconds, Catherine felt the stench coming from the two-headed giant's mouth and almost fainted. Fortunately, the man struck hard, and an elbow slammed into the giant's eye. It howled and reluctantly retracted its head.

"Its name is hunger. The man introduced to the female mage, "Hunger is not very obedient, and I must keep an eye on it at all times." ”

Catherine said, "If I'm not mistaken, it's a two-headed giant. It seems to have intelligence, I mean, its hair growing together. ”

"Wisdom? If it really has wisdom, it won't be caught. The man shook his head, "At most, it's the intelligence of a child of a few years old." The two-headed giant clan will only truly become intelligent life when the two heads grow together and evolve into a two-faced giant. However, there may not be one two-faced giant in tens of thousands of years. What's more, the number of two-headed giants is not large. ”

"It turns out that there is such a thing. The mage unexpectedly gained a new knowledge, "Where is it going now?"

On the shoulders of the two-headed giant, the horizon has widened a lot. Hunger is going back along the path it opened up when it came, but the forest is so vast and deep that it is impossible to see where it leads.

"Go to the altar. "Hunger is a lumberjack whose job is to come here to cut wood and then haul it back so that it can build an altar." ”

The man's answer was exactly what Catherine had guessed. It's just that the female mage didn't expect this handsome elf to tell herself so easily.

"I can ask if there is any particular reason why it has to go so far to cut wood. Catherine communicates with the man in a unique way, "This forest is so vast that wood should be everywhere. ”

The man said, "No, the timber for the altar is only found by the waterhole." And this dense forest is constantly growing, and it is getting harder and harder to find a waterhole in the dense forest. If it weren't for hunger's special ability to find water, I wouldn't have been able to get to the waterhole. ”

"Alright, let's go first. The man suddenly jumped off the shoulders of the two-headed giant, and as soon as he hit the ground, he began to run, much faster than hunger could march.

Catherine sat on the man's shoulders as if she had mounted a horse. The trees on both sides joined together and rapidly retreated.

I don't know how long this run lasted, and the female mage almost dozed off on the man's shoulder.

"Here we are. Finally the man slowed down, "Human, I must go back to watch over the hunger, and you can go the rest of the way." I don't know why you're by the waterhole, but I'm sure your destination must be the altar. ”

The man lowered Catherine from his shoulders and handed her the grilled fish in his hand, "If someone asks you why you went to the altar, you say it's food." With that, he turned and ran into the forest.

Catherine watched the strangely friendly tall elf walk away, and looked back at her destination. At the end of the road, I saw that it was wide, and I could already faintly see the scene outside the dense forest. The female mage took a deep breath and began her trek on foot.

Even on the ground that the two-headed giant had trodden on, there were still staggered trees in the middle of the road. Catherine advanced almost in a climbing fashion, far from being comparable to a man's run. The difficulty of the road was completely beyond the female mage's expectations, and her stomach was screaming uncontrollably.

Catherine had never noticed that a grilled fish could be so fragrant and so tempting. The female mage couldn't help but want to destroy this golden roasted and steaming fish on the spot.

But her instincts told her that she must not do that. The female mage even felt that this might be a test that the man had deliberately left for her. If she can't resist the temptation and eats the grilled fish, she will be in danger when she arrives at the altar.

Catherine pinched her nose with her hand, trying to stop the smell of grilled fish from getting in.
