The king of Calydon, Onius, was a devout believer and sacrificed the gods every year with fresh fruit from the harvest season, and each god had a corresponding sacrifice.

However, this year, due to some changes, he did not offer a sacrifice to Artemis, the goddess of hunting and the moon, and during the sacrifice season, Artemis had neither offerings nor fireworks in front of his altar.

This makes the already wayward Moon Goddess very angry, and decides to take revenge on the country that snubbed her.

"So you threw a wild boar into the plains of Calydon?"

Zheng Shu pinched the bridge of his nose, looking at the moon god who was suspended in mid-air in the form of a duck sitting, and he still sobbed a little headache.

"I just lost a little cub down, I didn't think this guy would grow so fast." Artemis revealed grievances in her voice, "The power of the demon pig should be much smaller than that of the dragon, and the growth rate will not be very fast. I don't know what this little cub didn't know where it was eating, but by the time I found out, it had become completely different. ”

Zheng Shu had an even more headache when he heard this.

Not to mention the changes that happened later, just the cub that was dropped at the beginning allowed Artemis to compare with dragons, which already represents how difficult the demon pig is.

Well, for the gods, this practice of King Onius of Calydon is indeed quite contempt, and it is normal to inflict severe punishment.

With Kaludon's strength, it is not too much of a problem to deal with a demon pig that is still underage and weaker than a dragon, it is nothing more than a price to pay.

"I probably know about you coming to me, but I don't know one thing, since it's meant to punish them, why do you have to find someone to solve it? And even if you find a problem, you can just solve it, why do you come to me? Zheng Shu was a little curious.

"I just want to teach them a lesson, so that they remember that they are going to sacrifice to me next time, and it will be bad if that country is bulldozed."

Artemis pressed her fingers together and whispered.

"But if I collect the boar now, it will be too easy to talk to, what if they forget me once......"

"Well, Artemis-sama, you're rightly worried, but is it necessary to be in such a hurry?"

Zheng Shu was talking about the fact that the moon god directly hit him, and in any case, it was also a bit too anxious.

"I'm so anxious, of course, because that kid from Tameow is also going to Caludon to fight the demon pig, and no matter how much I persuade her, she won't listen. Hercules was punished by Zeus again, and there is no way to act, so I can only come to you now. ”

Artemis began to weep again.

The corners of Zheng Shu's mouth couldn't help but twitch, he was not surprised that Atalanta chose to go to the crusade against the demon pig of Caludon, he was surprised by the name of the moon god Artemis.

This guy ...... It can't be that you've been quietly and slowly staring at Atalanta, right?

It's quite possible to think about it, after all, Atalanta can be considered the adopted daughter of Artemis in name.

However, Zheng Shu also understood the reason why the moon god was in a hurry, although in myths and legends, the heroes did crusade against the demon pig that ravaged Kaludon, but it is difficult to say what the final result would be in the case of a mutation.

Thinking of this, Zheng Shu no longer hesitated, the magic power in his body flowed, and the seawater on his body evaporated in an instant: "Okay, I already know the general situation, since this is the case, then I will take your commission." ”

"Really?! Great, thank you Zheng Shu! ”

Artemis cheered and was about to pounce, but Zheng Shu was prepared, and his body tilted to avoid the other party's embrace.

Looking at the moon god who was wrinkled and seemed to be crying again, Zheng Shu's expression immediately became serious.

"First of all, Lord Luna, although the two of us have a good relationship, you still have to pay me for this matter."

"Of course, no problem, you helped me solve this matter, I can do whatever I want." Artemis clenched his fist with one hand, his face resolute.

Zheng Shu felt a little funny, but also a little admired, although these gods will play with human beings for fun, but at least they know their mistakes and can correct them, and they are also willing to put down their bodies, in a sense, these gods are much better than most leaders in the human world.

"Perhaps...... It's because they're essentially mekhan.,So the character is much better than in myths and legends.。 ”

A thought flashed through Zheng Shu's mind, and then he smiled: "It's just a reward, it's not so exaggerated, I heard that there is a treasure called 'Golden Apple', I hope you can give me one after solving this matter." ”

"Huh? Is that all? ”

"Oh? Isn't this golden apple actually too precious? But I've heard that anyone who sees a golden apple is fascinated by it. ”

Artemis nodded cutely: "If it is indeed quite precious for non-god creatures, but for gods it can only be regarded as average. After all, as long as there is enough time, it can eventually grow, and the only effect is to prolong life.

As for the fact that all the people who see the golden apple will be fascinated by him, in fact, it is because the golden apple itself is an extremely concentrated life essence, which has an excellent tonic effect on all living things, so the biological instinct of the living beings themselves after seeing it will prompt you to turn your attention to the golden apple.

This kind of thing is also easy to deal with, as long as you eat the golden apple once, you will no longer be confused by it. ”

As she spoke, Artemis opened a black vortex beside her, reached out and searched it, and soon pulled out a golden apple from the vortex.

Although it is in the shape of an apple, both the skin and the rhizome on it look golden, as if it were a model made of pure gold.

As Artemis said, Zheng Shu was attracted the moment he saw the golden apple.

However, this attraction is not mandatory, it is a bit similar to the level of a hungry person suddenly seeing a large meal, and Zheng Shu quickly turned his attention back when he was prepared.

"Here you go."

"Will you pay me now?"

Zheng Shu took the golden apple in a bit of a daze, I have to say that the golden apple is not only the appearance, but also the quality of this thing is quite heavy, although it cannot reach the density of gold, but it is far heavier than ordinary apples.

"It's not very precious anyway, it doesn't matter, but do you really just need golden apples? Do you need me to help you find another piece of divine weaponry? ”

"That's not necessary, the golden apple will suffice."

The corners of Zheng Shu's eyes twitched unconsciously, he deserved to be the most favored main god, can something of this level be given casually by the weapon of the gods?

"Then thank you, Zheng Shu, you are such a good person."

Artemis raised her body happily and patted Zheng Shu on the shoulder, and then her expression became anxious again.

"Can you hurry up and get going? I was afraid that the child was too impatient and would break down if he went late. ”

"No problem, I'll leave right away! But does Master Artemis know where Calydon is? I'm a little disoriented right now. ”

"Ah, that's easy, you just need to use my blessing."

Before Zheng Shu could speak, the moon god pointed to the sky, and the originally bright sunlight instantly dimmed, and the moon rose in Zheng Shu's stunned gaze.

“？？？”

Zheng Shu was really stunned at this moment, judging from the fluctuations of the ocean under him, it was indeed a real moon, not an illusion.

Can the gods do whatever they want?

Even if he had reached the level of a black king in the dragon world, the power Zheng Shu gained could not support him to do such a thing.

Can the gods of the Moon World be so powerful? This is just the power of the moon god Artemis, if it is Zeus, how terrifying it must be, Zheng Shu doesn't even dare to think about it.

It was only then that Zheng Shu suddenly realized how difficult it was for him to "be immune to the power of all gods" that he had required for the divine armament, and how high the value of his divine armament was after realizing it.

It's no wonder that even Hephaestus, the god of fire, used the last precious piece of god's metal to create a god's armament that had no defenses at all.

Feeling Artemis's puzzled gaze, Zheng Shu knew that he had been in a daze for a long time just now.

He exhaled, halted all his thoughts, and then activated the blessing of the moon god.

Looking at the pillar of silver-white moonlight falling from a certain direction, Zheng Shu nodded towards Artemis, and then unfolded his god's armament and flew in the direction of the target.

……

……

The king of Calydon, Onius, has been in a very bad mood lately, because the grain used for the sacrifice to Artemis suddenly went out en masse, resulting in the absence of Artemis among the gods sacrificed that year.

In fact, Onius also thought of various ways to make up for it, such as using a living sacrifice that had not been used for a long time to offset his sins, but he did not expect that the living sacrifice chosen by the gods was himself.

That would certainly not work, Onius was pious but not brain-dead, and certainly would not really dedicate himself to appeasing the wrath of the gods.

Naturally, Artemis fell into a rage because he didn't sacrifice to himself, and sent a batch of huge magical beasts.

The monster's body was huge and beyond its specifications, and although it looked like a pig on the outside, it couldn't be called a wild boar at all.

The Demon Pig has always emitted the stench of corruption, and wherever it passes through it will be polluted, the land will decay, the crops will rot, and the water will stink, and it is a real natural disaster-like life form that will cause harm as long as it exists.

At the beginning, when the size of the demon pig was not so big, many heroes went to crusade, but without exception, all of them were devoured and turned into food for the growth of the demon pig.

And now, the size of that demon pig has far exceeded the range that normal heroes can solve.

At this point, neither the army nor a single hero is useless, so of course, Onius thought of gathering a large number of heroes to organize a crusade team.

So he summoned the brave men to hunt the demon pigs, represented by his son Melachros.

At this moment, Melaculus and the heroes he had gathered were standing outside the ancient forest, discussing whether to set a trap on the uphill first.

In the face of monsters of that level, if you rush forward recklessly, you will only die in vain, and none of these heroes here will be so stupid, so everyone is waiting for the return of the scouts.

However, while waiting for the investigators to return, the atmosphere in the crusade team was a little wrong, and the root cause was a young girl sitting away from the crowd.

The most conspicuous thing about the girl was her yellow-green hair, which she wore in a bun, with an ivory quiver on her shoulder, and a bow in her right hand, and a ruddy face.

Obviously, the other heroes have rough skin due to the perennial wind and sun, but this girl's skin doesn't know why it looks unusually white and tender, and she looks like a noble lady who has been carefully maintained.

That's why, ever since the girl joined the ranks, the rough men have tried every means to show their prowess in front of her.

If it weren't for the fact that someone had seen the girl kill two centaurs with a longbow, perhaps there would have been a hero ready to use it by now.

Sitting on a tree branch at the edge of the raiding party, Atalanta couldn't help but frown as she looked at the heroes in the distance who were deliberately showing their strength.

To the heroes of this era, "fighting" was equivalent to "offering to the gods" and "ravage", so even hunting them showed unnecessary rudeness.

And in the face of such rude heroes, none of Atalanta can be eye-catching, and if there is really the only man who can make her care, it is probably only that person.

Thinking of this, Atalanta frowned a little again, and she took out a fist-sized earthy yellow crystal from her backpack and pointed it at the sun to observe it carefully.

This is the core of the puppet that Zheng Shu gave him at the beginning, but compared to when Zheng Shu sent it out, this crystal looks much dimmer, except for the little crystalline starlight in the center, the whole spar no longer looks like a crystal but like a stone.

"Do you want to go to that guy?"

Atalanta is a little entangled, and she doesn't know why, but lately her desire for fruit has become more and more intense, so much so that she overuses the doll's fruit-making function, causing the doll to completely run out of energy.

But that guy should be happily doing in Corsky right now......

Although he doesn't know the specific situation, Atalanta knows Zheng Shu's character very well, and he must have helped the king of Korski through this difficult time in some way.

So unlike the other Argo heroes who thought that Zheng Shu had died on the way to break off for them, Atalanta always believed that this guy was definitely alive and quite comfortable.

After all, if they helped the king solve a problem, they would definitely get a lot of rewards, and if it was too much, maybe even the young daughter of the legendary king, whom they had never seen before, would marry Zheng Shu.

Therefore, Atalanta was a little hesitant, if it was really as she expected, Zheng Shu and wandering hunters like her now would no longer be at the same level of identity at all.

Not to mention whether it is appropriate to disturb him for the sake of this puppet, Atalanta has seen many heroes who have achieved status upgrades for some reason, showing disgust and even impatience for their original teammates.

This is also normal, after all, except for a very small number of god-blood heroes or strong people, the vast majority of heroes are similar to "powerful street runners", otherwise the task of crusading against the demon pig is obviously a task of sending people to death will not be handed over to these people, and they will naturally not refuse to have the opportunity to be a master in the palace.

In the midst of the hesitation, the raiding party over there had already resumed other operations.

The information they received from the people who had encountered the demon pig before was so shocking that the crusade team decided to set up various traps before the scouts arrived.

The heroes who joined the crusade this time were basically heroes with a certain degree of confidence in hunting.

While waiting for others to set traps, some heroes who keep hounds or monsters in captivity release their "pets" and let them look for traces of monsters.

"Ah!!h

Suddenly, a scream caught everyone's attention, and a figure full of injuries ran out of the jungle, which was the same person who had been sent out to investigate.

"What's wrong?!" Melachros immediately greeted him.

"Magic ...... Demon Pig! ”

It seems that the injuries suffered were so severe that the investigator passed out after shouting these words.

Several people around Melaculus immediately went up to take a closer look, and found that his injuries were more serious than expected, and he should not be able to wake up in a short time.

After consulting with the rest of the raiding party, and after the trap-setter had set up the trap around him, Melagros led the group in the direction pointed out by the scout.

If they suddenly encounter a demon pig on the road, they plan to attract each other here and hunt for it.

Soon, they came to a steep valley overgrown with thick reeds and salicylyl, where the previously discovered demon pig was hiding.

Before everyone could take a closer look, the hound's voice suddenly disturbed the demon pig, causing it to suddenly become furious and suddenly burst up from the ground.

It wasn't until the demon pig stood up that everyone found that the other party's size was indeed ridiculously large, with a shoulder height of more than ten meters and a body length of dozens of meters.

And when it ran and rushed towards everyone, it looked like a five- or six-meter-high building was pressing against it, and it was full of oppression.

Looking at the demon pig that had crushed countless trees and rushed towards him, Melaglos did not lead the people to move immediately, but instead asked them to set up their spears to block the impact.

He knew that in this case, if he commanded the crowd to retreat, he would only be chased to death by this demon pig.

After setting up the spear, countless magical lights flashed on everyone's bodies, and even the spear, which was originally only more than two meters long, turned into a cone of light three or four meters long under the blessing of magic power, and the formation of the entire crusade team looked like a glowing hedgehog for a while.

But the wisdom of the demon pig is not low, it saw the dense light spear in front of it and sensed the danger, so it made a sharp brake to avoid them, and sprinted towards the diagonal side, looking like it was about to escape.

When they saw that their prey was about to flee, the heroes no longer listened to the command of Melaglos and hurried after it, throwing spears and darts at it in the process.

But the spears thrown by the heroes can't even scratch the hard skin of the demon pig, they can only provoke it and make it wild.

The demon pig turned its head again, and because of the excessive anger, there was even some fire in its eyes, and it swooped back and pounced on the hero, and immediately knocked down the heroes who broke away from the team and ran to the front because they rushed too quickly.

In the face of the counterattack of a demon pig of this size, these heroes did not have any ability to resist at all, and they were trampled to death on the spot.

Seeing this scene, the heroes who were originally collectively charging forward to snatch the merits were stunned, looking at the demon pig that rushed towards them and the others, they immediately changed their direction and ran back, eager to let their parents have two more legs.

Looking at this rabble, Melaculus gritted his teeth with hatred, but there was no one around him now except for a few guards, even if Melagolos shouted and commanded, the heroes who had fallen into a rout did not want to listen.

Seeing that the demon pig was about to rush into the crowd and cause huge casualties, Atalanta, who had been observing the situation from the branch behind her, finally made a move.

Pulling out a bow and arrow from his quiver, the bow of the sky in his hand was directly full, and the divine weapon given by Artemis showed its strength, even without any magical blessings, it can automatically transform the arrow on the bowstring into a pure energy body.

Airplanes!

Before the bowstring could make a sound, the arrows that turned into white light had already hit the demon pig, but unfortunately the demon pig turned its head at the last moment, and Atalanta only shot it at the base of the ear.

While the white light tore apart the huge ears of the demon pig, it also scratched a shallow scar on its body, and the bristles were stained with blood for the first time.

Mel'agros, who was trying to command the hero, saw this scene and his eyes lit up, and he immediately yelled and told the others the news.

The heroes who had fled in panic also saw the blood left from the demon pig after turning their heads, and the morale that had collapsed immediately rose, and seeing that it was only a woman who caused all this, the heroes who felt that their faces were dull immediately clenched the spears in their hands, and howled again and launched an attack on the demon pig.

However, the high morale does not mean that the difference in strength between the two sides has changed, and the spears and darts thrown by the heroes are still bounced off the hard skin of the boar.

Someone raised a heavy weapon and tried to inflict damage on the demon pig in melee combat, but as soon as he got close, the demon pig was directly smashed into a pulp with its thick teeth like a log.

Seeing that the attacks of himself and the others were completely ineffective, the morale of this group of rabble that had just gathered once again dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon came to the brink of collapse.

Atalanta fired a few more arrows in quick succession, but the demon pig had already noticed the enemy that could hurt him, so he was always very cautious.

In the face of Atalanta's attack, the seemingly unusually large demon pig showed a dexterity that did not match its size at all, and dodged the arrows fired at it with unimaginable speed.

Luckily, this movement speed seems to consume a lot of mana, so the Demon Pig doesn't use it much.

Otherwise, if it charges at this speed towards the heroes who are forming a formation, it will probably only take a few charges to trample all the heroes into a pulp.

Melagolos gritted his teeth angrily as he looked at the rabble around him, he knew that if this continued, it wouldn't be long before the group would be defeated again.

Glancing at Atalanta, who was still shooting, he suddenly thought of something, snatched a throwing spear from the hand of the person next to him, and took his breath to aim at the moving demon pig in the distance.

Just as the Pig dodged another shot from Atalanta, Melagolos struck, throwing his spear while the Pig was just gaining footing.

The Demon Pig actually discovered this attack of Melagramus, but for these "toothpicks" that could not break through its own defenses, the Demon Pig naturally chose to ignore them, so he ......

"Huh!!"

The demon pig let out a sharp howl, and its body twitched involuntarily because of the pain, and after it took a few steps back, everyone saw clearly that the demon pig had been pierced with a spear from the wound that had just been shot by Atalanta.

Before the demon pig could slow down, Atalanta struck again, this time not only at the vital point of the demon pig, but at the belly, which was easier to aim.

A wound appeared on the demon pig's body again, and the surrounding heroes also got inspiration from Mel'aglos's actions just now, and immediately brandished their weapons and spears, aiming at the two scars on the demon pig's body and concentrating on attacking.

Under the joint attack of everyone, the demon pig was furious, spinning in place irritably, spitting blood and white foam from its mouth.

Atalanta continued to shoot, looking for an opportunity to leave more wounds on the demon pig's body and expand the attack point of the crowd.

Seeing the opportune moment, Melaculus raised his spear and stabbed it into the boar's neck.

The surrounding heroes also raised their spears to assassinate, and the demon pig was poked into a honeycomb like a honeycomb, and it struggled a few times, and finally could only fall in a pool of blood unwillingly.

"Oh!!"

All the heroes let out a deafening cheer to celebrate the killing of this formidable enemy, and some have even begun to imagine how they will brag about their brava when they return to the city.

Melagros climbed onto the boar's body, and with his sword, he painstakingly cut the crust off the boar's head, handing it to Atalanta as a representative trophy.

"Take it, although it should be mine, but I think you should accept this glory even more."

The people around immediately stopped cheering when they saw this scene, and the atmosphere instantly cooled down.

Suddenly, several people ran out of the crowd and rushed to the front of Melaculus, who was none other than Melaglos's uncle.

"What are you doing?! Why give this glory to others, with our leadership, these people can succeed in the crusade! ”

After yelling at Melaculus for a moment, an uncle suddenly snatched the boar's crust from Atalanta's hands and walked away.

"Put down the loot in your hands, don't you want to get this prey, it belongs to us!"

At a glance, it was clear to Atalanta, this was definitely that kind of court struggle, in fact, they were not interested in whether they could get this glory, the important thing was that they couldn't let Mel Agros get this glory, so they jumped out to find trouble.

However, at this time, he was still young and straightforward, and Melagramus did not expect this, and his face showed an angry expression, and he thought that his uncles had insulted his dignity and majesty, so he did not hesitate to draw his sword and slash at his uncles.

"You robbers!"

"Are you crazy?!"

Just as the two sides were in a mess, a distant roar suddenly interrupted their nonsense.

Thundered......

It sounded like a thunderous voice approaching quickly from far and near, and before everyone could react, a figure had already appeared in front of them, and after that, a thunderous voice came from behind him.

"Who is it?!"

"Is that you?"

In the midst of the noise, Atalanta's eyes, which had been unresponsive just now, suddenly widened.

"Yo, Tameow, long time no see."

Zheng Shu put away his god armament, saw Atalanta standing in the center of the crowd at a glance, and waved his hand to say hello.

"How did you get here?"

"Ah, Lord Artemis, I was really worried about you after I heard that you were going to hunt demon pigs, so I asked me to come and help you. I couldn't refuse what she paid, so I came. ”

"Master Artemis...... It's really worrying. ”

Despite that, a smile still spread across Atalanta's face.

It took her a moment to realize that her performance seemed to be too direct, so she quickly retracted her smile and changed the subject with two coughs covering her mouth.

"Ahem, you're late, this demon pig has already been disposed of by us, you can go back now and let Master Artemis stop worrying so much."

"That's right, boy, it's too late to grab the merit now, so you better go back obediently!"

The few people who were originally confronting Mel Achros didn't know what they were thinking, and suddenly their brains twitched and they launched a provocation towards Zheng Shu.

Zheng Shu blinked, glanced at these few people who could be regarded as weak in the fluctuation of their magical power, and then glanced at the trajectory that he had "drawn" in the sky when he flew over just now and had not completely dissipated, so he turned his head to look at Atalanta with a puzzled face.

"Shhh...... Have these guys always been so brave? ”

"Maybe they're a little bit unclear."

Atalanta also smiled helplessly, I don't know why these people dared to say this to Zheng Shu, even Melagramus looked at his uncles with a look of a ghost, didn't you see the way this guy flew over just now?

"Hmm...... You're right, they're a little bit less sober-minded. ”

Zheng Shu's eyes flashed with secret magic lines, and he glanced at these few guys who dared to be mad at him, and immediately discovered the power in their bodies that was full of corrupt aura.

"But their problems are easy to deal with, as long as the magic pig is solved."

"What are you talking about? Haven't we killed the Demon Pig yet? Atalanta was puzzled.

"Demon pig? You mean this little piglet? ”

Zheng Shu glanced at the behemoth next to him that was still about the same height as a two-story small building after it fell, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

"It's not a demon pig, it's a family member of that guy at best."

It's written very smoothly, so add more.
