Chapter 42: Enormity
But like the big boars, this frog has nothing special other than its size.
In other words, this big frog and those big wild boars have inexplicably become bigger!
Everyone is still watching this big frog. The sound of a rope was already heard in the woods.
This time, Canakas was on the alert. Because Yorkton and Rost were already around.
The sound in the woods was definitely something else.
The three of them looked back at the woods at the same time, and what came out of the woods was something that none of them expected.
Because what slowly crawled out of the woods turned out to be a huge emerald green praying mantis!
And there was a noise behind it. Apparently there is more than one giant praying mantis.
Canakas did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent Rost to the top of the waterfall.
In this way, not only can you temporarily protect Rost, but you can also stand on a high ground and observe the situation.
As expected, several large praying mantis were crawling out of the woods.
Although they are not as rampage as large wild boars. But Karnacas got nervous.
He jumped underneath and tried to drag Yorkton up as well.
Because he is a witcher who is very fond of observing animals.
He knew that the praying mantis was slow before attacking, but once the prey was within striking distance, it would strike with lightning.
No prey can escape with a quick enough reflex.
But the stubborn Yorkton had already raised his greatsword and was ready to go to war. He simply rejected Karnacas's suggestion.
Canakas couldn't care so much, and directly tied Yorkton's waist with a thick rope.
"Hey, what are you doing!" shouted Yorkton.
But before he could finish speaking, he had been dragged to the top of the waterfall by Karnacas.
As soon as he came up, Canakas rushed ahead of Yorkton and said, "Big guy." From now on, I will do whatever I say. Unless you think you're smarter than me. ”
One of the advantages of Yorkton is that he can be honest with his strengths and weaknesses.
So he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay." It's up to you. So what are we going to do?"
Karnacas nodded in satisfaction and said, "The praying mantis is a creature that attacks extremely quickly. However, they will approach their prey more slowly. In fact, they are more accustomed to waiting for ......"
Canakas' words weren't finished. A few praying mantis have already spread their wings and are flying!
York tilted his head and said, "I'd better leave it to me, an unsmart person, to solve it." ”
After saying that, he swung his big sword continuously. Several crescent moon slashes flew out one after another. Cut down the praying mantis flying in the air one by one.
"Uh...... It seems that they cannot be judged by their usual habits. Canakas said, spreading his hands.
"yes, they're not that big. I'm not usually very smart. Yorkton said.
After all, it was his own misjudgment, so Canakas was willing to be ridiculed by Yorkton.
But again, he frowned and said, "These huge creatures are obviously coming at us. I'm afraid it's all ugly devils. So we must find and kill the ugly demon as soon as possible. ”
Of course, all of this is the work of the ugly devil. They are ugly and beautiful. That's why they steal other people's lives.
They don't want anyone to see what they look like. Including the enemy.
So they would rather make the animals bigger and have them fight the enemy. They just don't want to show their faces.
Yorkton thought for a moment and said, "Rost, I'm carrying you on my back." You show the way. Canakas, you just have to keep up. ”
Rost was about to say that I could walk on my own. Yorkton had already copied him up and carried him on his back!
Rost shook his head helplessly, since he came out with these two people, he had lost his right to speak.
He had no choice but to guide Yorkton on his back.
Kanakas not only followed, but also constantly jumped into the air to observe the situation and look for targets.
He also hopes to find the ugly devil's lair as soon as possible.
After finally crossing a small hill, I saw a very tall cave halfway up the mountain.
Yorkton put down Rost, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's finally here." Rost, it's time for you to go. ”
Rost was about to argue at once.
But Canakas suddenly pressed his shoulder and said, "You saw it too." You can't even deal with those giant animals sent by the ugly demons. We also want to protect you. We're about to face the nature of the ugly demon. Do you want to be killed instantly by them, or do you want us to be killed by the ugly demon because of your drag?"
Rost bowed his head and remained silent.
Carnacas said, "Listen, no matter what this ugly demon looks like. If only we could kill him. I'll bring it to you one day. ”
Rost nodded helplessly.
Canakas went on to say, "You go to a place called Orsenhold Castle. Tell the lord of the city that I told you to go. The lord is a wizard who will teach you how to fight demons and monsters. That's exactly what you want, right?"
Rost nodded vigorously and said, "How do you know? I do wish I could kill those abominable things like you did!"
Yorkton said, "Of course he does." After all, people are smart!"
Canakas ignored Yorkton, but patted Rost on the shoulder again and said, "Keep going south." Just ask, and you'll find Orsenhold Castle. Let's go, quick!"
Rost gritted his teeth, waved goodbye to Karnacas and Yorkton, and set out on the road to Orsenhold.
At this time, Canakas and Yorkton went to see the cave again. The entrance to the cave has been blocked by a swarm of giant beetles!
The black carapaces of those giant beetles shone brightly in the sunlight.
"Oh...... It's hard to do. Canakas said.
Where does Yorkton care so much. He had already picked up his great sword and slashed it with a crescent moon......
However, the Countless Crescent Moon Slashes that slashed countless enemies failed to hurt a single beetle!
Karnacas shook his head and said, "When these worms become so big, I'm afraid their shells are stronger than the city walls." We'll have to find another way......"
Yorkton didn't wait for him to finish, but walked forward as he put his sword back into its scabbard.
By the time he got closer, he had already picked up the sledgehammer.
As he approached, Yorkton jumped up and struck one of the beetles on the head!
Suddenly, a loud bang shook the valley! The sound wave echoed for a long time......
Look at the beetle's head intact, but ......
But the beetle's body, which had been slightly off the ground, fell to the ground with a pop.
That's because...... It's dead......
Yorkton's hammer blow failed to shatter the thick and sturdy skull of the giant beetle. But the tremors had already turned the beetle's head into a pulp......
