61. Sudden victory
Experienced witchers know that there are two time periods when giant ghouls are the most dangerous.
One is when life is under great threat and the health value is too low.
Wounded ghouls will go into a state of madness, blindly attacking enemies in front of them, tearing everything in sight.
In this case, the clever Witcher will leave its line of sight and attack from behind.
And those who try to stand up to it often die as a result.
The second is when in the heyday, when attacked, the monster uses the bone spurs to counterattack, and the bone spurs burst out.
Huck was facing this situation at this time, and he would not have thought that the monster was so smart when he was killed.
Not only does he know how to hide his strength, but he also shows weakness to lure the enemy.
Moments before the Silver Sword arrived, the Giant Ghoul suddenly activated its bone spur function, and dense bone spurs suddenly bounced out of its body, one of which just blocked the Silver Sword.
Not only that, but the attack also induced the counterattack function of the bone spurs, and the sharp bone spurs of the finger-thick head came out of the body, like crossbow arrows off the string, heading straight for the enemy.
Puff~
In a terrifying sound of bone spur shooting, the dense bone spurs shrouded the approaching witcher like a black cloud.
The giant ghoul was pleased with the counterattack, perfect in terms of timing and distance.
Unexpectedly, at such a close distance, at such a fast speed, no one could dodge, and judging from its countless past combat experience, the prey was dead.
As expected, the unprepared witcher couldn't dodge the dense bone spur shoot at such a close distance and at such a fast speed.
His body was like a giant soap bubble, dissolved into countless fragments in the dense rain of bone spurs, and disappeared into a faint mist.
Phantasm?
Seeing the enemy disappear into thin air and miss the inevitable attack, the giant ghoul immediately came to his senses, and it suddenly turned around and rushed towards the left rear position of about 2 meters.
Huck, who had just used teleportation to dodge the bone spur shot, saw the monster turn around and slam into him before he could make the next move.
During combat, giant ghouls will try high-stakes tactics with the goal of knocking their opponents to the ground so that their companions can tear them to shreds.
Although he didn't expect the monster to react so quickly, Geralt's prior warning still worked.
As soon as he saw its muscles tense, its convex hind legs bent abruptly, and its black nails rocking forward against the ground, the witcher immediately guessed the other party's intentions.
As soon as he stood firm, he immediately rolled around with a lazy donkey, and successfully dodged the monster's ferocious impact a second before he was hit.
Rolling is a technical job, a versatile dodge in the game, but extremely rare in reality.
In the past, there was no shortage of witchers who thought they were perfect, and there was a case of rolling directly under the enemy's knife and monster mouth.
Huck rarely uses this trick, but this time the move is very well done, both in terms of timing and effect, it is perfect.
The cunning and ferocious enemy obviously did not expect the opponent to be able to dodge, and after the all-out impact hit the air, he didn't have time to brake his body at all, and he crashed headlong into the pile of logs.
Boom~
With a loud thud, a huge log bone piled on top of a two-meter-high log stack tumbled down and slammed into the giant ghoul's body.
The heavy log weighed like a thousand pounds, giving a perfect knockout to the monster that had been dizzy in the impact and had not yet fully awakened, simple and crisp.
The loud sound of the log rolling stopped the witcher, who had just stood up and was about to attack the monster.
The accident that followed made Huck a little dumbfounded, and the cunning enemy who had flaunted his might just now was already lying under the log in the blink of an eye, and could only survive.
Without hesitation, he stepped forward quickly, stabbing the silver sword through the ghoul's bloody jaw.
After being impaled in the brain, the harvested monster struggled frantically a few times, and then drooped down, completely lifeless.
This battle ended with such a dramatic ending.
Am I a child of destiny?
Even God is helping me?
Huck scratched his head, feeling a little incredible, he leaned down to take a closer look at the fierce and cunning enemy, only to find that the wound on its body was still recovering on its own.
The giant ghoul's super recovery ability is still in effect just a few minutes before he died, and his terrifying recovery power is terrifying.
By the time Geralt returned, Huck had finished dissecting the ghouls and gathered all the alchemy materials that could be used.
Venom extracts, monster eyes, ghoul blood, monster ears, monster hearts...
The rarest of them are the giant ghouls' claws, which are harder, slender, and sharper than ordinary goods, and are a rare material for dagger crafting.
The white wolf deliberately lured the ghoul farther away to give the young witcher more room to fight.
After destroying all the monsters, he immediately rushed back non-stop.
To be honest, although he thinks that Huck has enough self-protection ability, he still feels a little uncertain when he thinks of the difficulty of the giant ghoul.
After all, for witchers, every time they face an unfamiliar transcendent monster, it is a test of life and death, and no one dares to say that they can be foolproof.
The result surprised him, and the battle on this side ended faster.
Although there were some accidental factors in the process, seeing the bone spurs densely embedded in the logs, he knew that the scene was extremely dangerous.
The giant ghoul had already used all his body to solve the puzzle, but he didn't hurt the enemy, and it was only a matter of time before he was defeated.
The danger comes from the unknown, and the danger of the monster after the witcher is familiar with the attack routine will be greatly reduced.
Seeing Geralt's expectant inquiring eyes, Huck smiled and, like a trick, pulled out a red ordinary mutation inducer out of thin air.
Seeing the inducer, the white wolf's eyes lit up and he was quite relieved.
"Ghouls, evil ghosts, and water ghosts, which are the 'auspicious three treasures' you said, these three common monsters, almost all of them are difficult to obtain mutation inducers.
Even if obtained, only ordinary mutation inducers are obtained, and only evil ghost warriors have special mutation inducers.
However, this powerful subspecies, the probability of mutation inducers is still relatively large, and you are lucky. ”
Seeing that Huck was starting to absorb the trigger, he didn't speak again.
It wasn't until the young witcher had absorbed it and the inducer on his hand turned into white dust that Geralt asked expectantly, "How is it?" ”
[Strength +0.1, Skill +1]
Looking at the subtitles in front of him, he didn't answer right away, but called up the career panel.
Sure enough, the strength increased by 0.1 to 2.5, and the empty skill points finally increased a little.
Feeling the increased power, he looked at the Demon Hunter with a smile.
"The strength has increased a lot, which is equivalent to one-tenth of that of ordinary people!"
The white wolf didn't know how Huck had come up with such accurate data in a matter of moments, but he was curious about the effect of the increased strength.
He pulled out his steel sword and said excitedly, "Come on, let me see your improved strength!" ”
Huck was stunned for a moment, and said with some uncertainty:
"This place, I'm afraid it's not suitable at this time!
There are still a large number of people waiting for us outside, and if these corpses are not dealt with quickly, maybe we will have to deal with another batch of monsters later~"
As he spoke, he pointed to the corpses of the monsters on the ground, as well as the fragmented human corpses lying on the ground elsewhere in the sawmill.
Seeing the human corpse, both of them were stunned.
Like, our mission also includes saving people!
Thinking of this, the eyes of the two looked in unison at a wooden house that had just been surrounded by several ghouls.
Where the doors and windows were closed, the doors were full of scratches, and no sound was heard inside from beginning to end.
Are they asleep?
