Chapter 8: Give the Mountain Ogre a Little Shotgun Shock

Seeing that Anna was no longer trembling, Luke said, "I'm ready to explore in the direction you fled to see if I can save your friends, or at least kill the ogres to avenge them." Do you want to follow me or stay here and wait for me? ”

Hearing Luke say that she was going to take the initiative to find trouble with the ogre, Anna was a little reluctant, but thinking that the friend who came with her was currently uncertain, it was difficult to stop Luke. She struggled with her thoughts, and it was less likely that she would stay where she was and encounter an ogre, but if she did, she would surely die; Follow Luke to take the initiative to find the ogre, although it is also dangerous, but after all, it is two people, and Luke still has a gun in his hand.

After a few seconds of thought, Anna replied, "I'll go with you, I know where the ogre lives, and if we can't find it, we'll go to his house and set up an ambush." ”

After setting off, Anna added, "Be careful of your step, the ogre has put a lot of traps and traps in the forest, and Morty is caught up and killed after stepping on the trap. ”

The two followed the route Anna had fled from to find back, and after a while, they came to the place where Anna and her friend had separated. Luke leaned down to carefully identify the chaotic footprints here, and roughly determined that the ogre was pursuing due north, and continued in the direction of the pursuit.

They had already been stepped on along the way, so there was no risk of traps, and the two of them sped up slightly.

As he walked, Luke's ears twitched slightly, and he faintly heard the sound of "humming" breathing and the sound of heavy objects being dragged. He hurriedly pulled Anna to hide in the thick grass next to the trees, and used his hand to signal Anna to be quiet.

Two minutes later, the ogre appeared, and I don't know how many more people he had killed, and the dark red and black blood stains on its body were soaked in fresh blood and became slimy, dripping with the ogre's actions. The ogre's form is roughly the same as that of a normal person, with a forehead half high and half collapsed, ears replaced by ram's horns, yellow and fierce eyes, a flattened and crooked nose, occasional grinning at the corners of the mouth, and ugly sharp teeth in the mouth that look like they were made to bite. In the rugged woods, it dragged a man's body through it without any effort. The dragging human body kept rubbing against the ground, without making a sound, and looked dead.

Luke stared at the ogre, and the identification ability was touched, and a translucent information box appeared that only he could see, floating in front of him:

Mountain Ogre (Transforming)

The deformed offspring produced by long-term inbreeding of mountain people, due to long-term predation of humans, cannibalism, and being impregnated with negative energy, are transforming into wendigo.

【Skills】

[Cannibalism]: Devouring human flesh will increase the degree of aberration, reaching a certain level of mutation to become a monster Wendigo. According to Indian legend, humans will monster Wendigo after cannibalism, and Wendigo's stomach is like a bottomless pit, never satisfied, and it is forever chasing fresh human flesh.

[Rough skin and thick meat]: Mountain ogres have strong vitality, the impact of non-lethal trauma other than the heart and brain is reduced, and the ability to heal itself is enhanced.

Luke looked at the mountain ogre not far away, and secretly cried out in his heart. The previous plan was simple, ambush and wait until the ogre came into range, and directly end its life with a few shots. But when I really met the enemy, I realized that I had thought too simple before. He didn't take into account the effect of the trees in the jungle on shooting, even if he was hiding in an ambush until the mountain ogre came into range, it was difficult to find a suitable angle to shoot, and the shotgun's lead bullet was too easy to block by the dense trees around him, and even if he hit it, it was difficult to ensure the effect.

Of course, there is good news, and that is that the ogre's bow and arrow are also difficult to play properly in this environment.

Anna, who was on the sidelines, quickly realized this. After experiencing this tortuous and bizarre day, my heart gradually gave birth to some courage in the grinding of huge twists and turns. Facing the evil monster not far away, she found that the hatred in her heart was far greater than the fear, looking at the corpse dragged in the hands of the ogre, a few hours ago, they were talking and laughing together, and now, I don't know how many people are still alive.

She stared fiercely at the ogre, and whispered to Luke, "I deliberately made a little noise, and then ran away, attracting this blame me to chase me, and you find a chance to shoot." ”

This girl, who was trembling and unable to stand on her feet half an hour ago, is so resolute and brave at this moment. Luke subconsciously dissuaded: "No, it's too dangerous. ”

Anna looked into Luke's eyes seriously, smiled, and said, "I believe in you." The tone was firm and undeniable.

Luke didn't know how to answer for a moment, and froze in place.

She reached out and pushed the branch next to her so hard that it made a brushing sound, then she stood up, glanced at the ogre, and saw that it had noticed her, and immediately made a frightened look, and fled into the distance, one foot deep and one shallow.

Seeing the fresh prey, the desire to kill filled the ogre's brain again, and compared the distance with the prey, it was about seventy or eighty meters, and it was completely impossible to hit with a bow and arrow, but in terms of speed in the mountains and forests, it was much faster than this panicked prey scurrying like a rabbit, and it could catch up in a few minutes.

The ogre threw down the ingredients in his hand, took out a bloodstained dagger, and strode forward as he imagined slitting the throat of the beautiful female prey for a moment, drawing showy blood on her fair skin.

Luke hid himself deep in the grass and held Winchester in his hand, staring intently at the rushing monster.

60 meters... 50 meters, already in range, but not yet insured. He continued to wait

40 meters... 30 meters... 20 meters... The excited shouts and laughter of the monsters can already be heard. Not enough...

10 meters... The monster was about to pounce on its face. It's not enough, there are trees to shade it, and it still has room to escape.

One-step... Two steps... Three Steps...

In just three steps, the ogre was already less than five meters away from the grass where Luke was hiding, and there were no trees between the man and the monster, and if he wasn't even in a hurry to pursue his prey, the ogre would probably have discovered Luke's traces.

Luke jerked to his feet, Winchester's gun aimed at the ogre's chest. This position is the easiest to aim, and the area of bullets is the largest, and if you hit a shotgun at close range, even if you have the skill of [Rough Skin and Thick Flesh], you will definitely die.

The sudden movement on his side caused the ogre to pause briefly, and Luke decisively pulled the trigger, and 8 12-gauge lead bullets rushed out of the muzzle of the gun with Luke's rage, and splashed evenly on the ogre's chest. There is no scene in the movie where a shot flies out directly, it is a simple hit and fall to the ground, and the ogre who was still chasing his prey excitedly just now is like an elk that has been hit by a shotgun, his chest is rotten, his mouth is overflowing with blood, his hands and feet twitch unconsciously, and the skill effect of [rough skin and thick meat] makes the ogre have a trace of breath, and he is not dead for the time being, but he has completely lost his ability to move.
