Chapter 607: The Giant's Weakness
As a result of Sharkey's childhood teachings, Scati has an almost fanatical attachment to hunting.
Odin took advantage of her weakness and set up a scheme for Scati to kill his father by mistake during the hunt.
As the saying goes, eat a trench and grow a wisdom.
As Scati's blood began to boil, Fenrir's warning roar woke her up just in time.
This is the task that Lu Xiao specially assigned to Fenrir before the departure of one man and one wolf.
Skati is always reminded to stay objective and focused, not to get carried away by the prey in front of him, and to ignore the traps that may exist in the surrounding area.
Fenrir's warning poured down his head like a basin of cold water, cooling Scati's boiling blood of the hunt.
After the huge demon pig walked out of the cave, he was immediately attracted by the giant wolf in front of him, lowered his head and ploughed the ground with his front feet, and let out heavy breathing from his mouth, ready to start a war at any time.
Attracted by Fenrir, the demon pig did not notice Skati hiding in the woods, allowing her to lay out tactics and traps more calmly.
Fenrir didn't plan to fight the big pig, the protagonist of this hunt was Scati, who was just providing some assistance to the queen of the hunt, and would not take the lead.
Seeing that Fenrir had no intention of attacking, the demon pig first howled and charged at the enemies who invaded his territory.
Once the huge demon pig as a small mountain rushed up, the pressure was very amazing, and the ground began to shake violently under the bombardment of its four hooves.
At the same time as the charge was launched, some of the runes on the demon pig's body were lit up, and these runes increased the acceleration of the demon pig's charge, and the seemingly bulky demon pig rushed in front of Fenrir almost in the blink of an eye.
Although he was slightly surprised by the speed of the demon pig, Fenrir had been with Hela in many battles, and this little trouble was not enough to stop him.
While dodging from the side, Fenrir was able to spare time and use his front paws to cut a few blood marks on the side of the demon pig's body.
"Whoosh!"
Two feathered arrows shot out of the trees almost simultaneously, locking the Pig's eyes as it could stop moving.
Sensing the danger, the demon pig immediately closed its eyelids, and its skin harder than a rock blocked Scati's sneak attack.
"Ding~"
The arrow made a crisp click on the pig's eyelid, and Fenrir shrank into the forest.
With no trace of Fenrir to be found, the pig turned his gaze in the direction of the attack.
Skati didn't immediately turn back to her prototype and fight the demon pig head-on, and when the demon pig roared and rushed all the way to the tree, she nimbly dodged left and right in the taiga, relying on the dense needles of evergreen plants to block the view of the demon pig.
The enraged demon pig slammed into the forest like a tank to force its way away, and as it approached where Scati had been hiding, ice-blue runes suddenly flashed on the ground.
"Whew!"
The frost power that erupted from under the stomach froze the two hind legs of the demon pig, losing the support of the hind legs, and the demon pig in high-speed movement unconsciously fell forward.
After standing up tremblingly, its movements became much slower, and the flickering red runes on its body seemed to be thawing the cold of the attacked body parts.
Skati didn't miss this perfect opportunity, and while she turned back into the prototype of the giant, she detonated a number of rune traps buried around the demon pig.
The indigo rune array formed an enchantment that trapped the slow demon pig, and the rapidly dropping temperature in the enchantment made the demon pig feel a deadly threat.
"Humph! Hum! ”
As the eyes of the demon pig lit up with an earthy yellow light, the frozen earth shook and cracked, and the runes buried by Skati were also destroyed in the process of cracking.
"Sure enough, it's an earth attribute."
Previously, the Demon Pig used fire and wind spells in a short period of time, which should be the combat wisdom that this lord-level Demon Beast has cultivated after years of struggling to survive, in order to cover up his true main attributes.
In the case of a threat to his life, the demon pig didn't care about anything else, and subconsciously exploded his dominant main attribute to destroy the nearby traps.
Scati had long guessed that the runes could not trap the demon pig, and he was ready for the next step at the same time that the demon pig was freed.
Five arrows on the bowstring were fired at the same time, and the arrows collided with each other in mid-air, and the arrows glowing with magic light pierced into the demon pig's body from different angles.
The location where these arrows hit was exactly tearing the yellow runes on the demon pig's body, and the demon pig who was about to use earth-based spells to consolidate its defense felt a burst of strength all over his body.
The gigantic Scati didn't slow down, and her well-proportioned physique allowed her to combine strength and agility.
Sensing that something was wrong, the Pig began to use spells to build a wall between the two, trying to slow down Scati's attack and give him more time to recover.
Skati, who was speeding in a zigzag through the forest, bypassed all the dirt walls and drew a bowstring 20 meters closer to the demon pig.
A charged enchanted arrow shot right in the forehead caused the demon pig to bow its head as if it were facing a great enemy, concentrating all the earth elements it could gather in a short period of time to its head.
"Bell!"
There was a clatter of gold and iron, and the demon pig blocked the arrow shot by Scati with his forehead.
But at this time, Skati's trace disappeared from the aftermath of the demon pig.
The Pig, which was too focused on frontal defense, ignored the other directions, only to suddenly look up when it saw a changing shadow on the ground.
But by this time it was too late.
Scati landed lightly on the pig's back, wrapping the bowstring of the short bow in his hand around the pig's neck.
Gently stroking his fingers over the bowstring as if he were plucking the strings, the demon pig that was about to roll on the spot and shake Scati off suddenly stopped.
The huge head seemed to have been cut by a sharp weapon, and the fracture slid smoothly to the ground, and a thin layer of ice could be faintly seen from the incision.
……
When Scati dragged the body of the demon pig back to Langham Village in the form of a giant, the remaining villagers led by the village chief suddenly boiled.
The demon pig that had plagued them for years was finally defeated, and the hunters of Langham Village were able to use the nearest golden hunting ground to feed their families.
Dumping the giant corpse of the demon pig in the village square, Scati sat on the ground and changed back into his human form.
"I'm hungry......"
Rubbing his stomach with a bitter face, Scati turned his longing gaze to the village chief of Langham.
The giant's main form can exert great combat power, but it corresponds to a huge physical energy consumption.
In order to hurry as fast as possible, Scati was awakened from death by Lu Xiao and has not eaten on a large scale so far.
This time she turned back into her original form of a giant and used up her already small amount of physical strength, and as soon as she returned to the village, Scati immediately turned back into her human form and shouted hunger, and Lu Xiao could even hear the gurgling sound in her stomach.
"Haha! We had the food ready for a long time! ”
The village of Langham is the village of giants, and it knows exactly how much it costs to fight back to its original form.
As early as when Skati left the village to start hunting, the housewives who stayed in the village took out the little food in the village and began to prepare food.
Watching Scati eat at high speed in a fairly elegant manner, Lu Xiao smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders in front of Yongzhen and Yuzao on the side.
"No wonder the number of giants has not been able to rise, the amount of food they need to consume is so terrifying that the barren Jotunheim simply can't afford to raise many giants."
Mimir added with some emotion: "Yes, food is the biggest problem that limits the growth of the giant population. ”
"Most giants will save money in their human form, but once an all-out war with Asgard begins, the rate at which food is consumed becomes terrifying, so giants have always tried to avoid war."
"Lu Xiao, if you want to convince the giants to start a full-scale war with Asgard, logistics supply is an unavoidable problem, you should prepare accordingly first."
