Shadow Covenant

Chapter 35 "The Abnormality of the Earth Giant Monster"

Along with the ground shaking, the humanoid creature with a height of more than three meters and a body made of mud and rocks finally revealed its full view from the mountain.

Unlike the round earth elemental, the earth giant's arms are more like two cylinders plus a ball, but the face that should have been blurred reveals a recognizable indifferent and expressionless face, like Simple stone statues carved by primitive society are average.

And the mysterious imprint that Woody just observed is the imprint carved on the indifferent forehead of the earth giant.

It is exactly the same as the arcane imprint flashing on the surface of the phantom map card.

In other words, Reeves's secret imprint, that is to say, the treasure is actually hidden in...

Seeing the giant earth monster that appeared from the mountain in front of him, Woody's thoughts turned sharply, and he quickly sorted out the cause and effect.

A few years ago, Reeves summoned this underage earth giant from the elemental plane of earth to guard the treasure for him.

Later, the head of the circus, Brandon Fraser, found it according to the map mark on the card left by Reeves. After digging through the underground tunnel, he did not find the so-called treasure.

He thought he was deceived and left doubts in the diary, but he never thought that the treasure was hidden in the body of a sleeping earth giant, and the weak monsters brought by the goblin passage directly let him here The desire to continue searching was in vain.

In the end, he also turned into a horrible monster who likes to torture and abuse, and wanders in the ruins of the streets.

This is the fate of most Assen Rand adventurers, and adventurers will eventually die from taking risks.

After all, Reeves, an advanced illusionist, is a "fool". Even if you set up a treasure location, you will never be able to get it so easily.

Traps, traps, secret doors, or guardians like earth giants are nothing more than normal. In the treasure house of legendary dragons, you can even see lairs guarded by dragon souls and scarabs.

When the strength is insufficient, encountering treasures is sometimes not a gift from the lucky lady Temora, but an invitation to take a bath from the River Styx.

Just like now, Woody looked at the giant earth monster covered with rocks as hard as iron, and then looked at the long steel sword in his hand that he bought from the blacksmith for 15 gold coins.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately gave up his plan to pull the giant earth monster in front of him.

This is not a flesh and blood body like the sahuagin, but a strange creature from the earth elemental plane.

Creatures made of rock and clay.

Even if you cut it hundreds of times, you may not be able to break through its defenses, but if you get caught or rubbed by it, you probably will lose half your life.

Moreover, if there is no accident, the earth giant, as the guardian of the treasure, will always sleep here.

After he changes into an extraordinary weapon with at least +1, and his professional level increases to level 5, which is the second level, it won't be too late to trouble this big guy.

However, the appearance of the earth monster blocked his way back, and Woody could only try to hide in the passage on the inside of the cave.

Its perception is not high, and now it is attracted by the magic breath born after the collapse of the goblin passage, as long as you be careful, wait for it to enter the collapsed cavity, and then find a chance to leave.

Woody remembers that the way this earth monster grows is to absorb enough earth elemental essence to accumulate more stones on itself.

The newly born earth giant is only the size of a watermelon, and its challenge level has not even reached 1, which is about the same as a kobold.

But after becoming an adult, the adult earth giant with a body size of tens of meters and standing like a stone-cast tower has a challenge level of more than 18.

Immunity to mind spells and damage from extraordinary weapons below +3 is due to the fact that most of the minerals on the body are raw materials for extraordinary weapons.

In addition to absorbing the ore, the essence of the earth element is refined by this magical breath.

After all, in Asenland, it is very difficult for an earth giant to plunder the essence of elements here. In addition to strength, it also needs luck.

Unlike the earth element plane, the entire plane is a huge stone, and they live in the stone, and can absorb the essence of the elements anytime, anywhere.

Woody hugged Lin who was in a coma and retreated to avoid a face-to-face confrontation with the earth giant.

With his current strength, if he wants to head-to-head with the big guy in front of him.

Unless the earth giant stands still, it is still possible not to fight back, otherwise, if it is just a random stone that shoots out of the earth giant's body, he will not be able to withstand it, let alone retaliate. The earth hulks with spell-like abilities went all out.

Beyond the weaker monster's lair, there is a deep slope leading down to nowhere.

There is no trace of a mine cart on the ground, and it is obviously a naturally formed cavity.

The air seemed to exude a damp and cool atmosphere due to the surrounding moss, and the soil on the ground was also a little wet.

But what Woody didn't expect was that the giant earth monster didn't go towards the weak monster's lair, but came towards the inner passage where he was.

"How could this be?"

"Could it be a mistake in judgment?"

"Or is it that the giant earth monster itself, as a guardian, noticed the card on me and judged me as a treasure snatcher?"

"But the last time Brendan Fraser came here, he didn't seem to have mentioned any information about the earth giant."

"Damn!"

Woody watched the earth hulk ignoring the grotesque lair and walking towards him, knowing that he couldn't delay any longer.

In front of him, he had to fight hard, charge forward to bypass the earth giant, and then leave here, but in this way, he could not leave with Lin.

Moreover, it occurred to Woody that the passage to the surface had a hand-dug tunnel that was extremely difficult to move quickly.

There, his speed would drop by at least two-thirds.

As a rock creature, the earth monster is born with the characteristic of "melting into the stone". Simply put, it is similar to the earth dungeon. Although it was slow just now, its agility is not low, and the minimum is 10 points. The running speed on the ground is about the same as that of ordinary people.

In addition, the earth giant has an extremely perverted specialty.

——"Throwing Specialization"

Woody once saw with his own eyes on the forum that someone tried to steal the copper dragon's treasure house, and the copper dragon's lair was surrounded by a maze, and a whole tribe of earth giants lived in the maze.

And the dragon slaying team fell under the hands of the giant earth monsters in the labyrinth without even seeing the face of the red copper dragon. Among them, there was no lack of professionals with agility of more than [-] points and powerful mages.

But under the rain of rocks that were almost self-aiming, each of which weighed hundreds of kilograms, they still fell into the maze one after another.

Although he has a certain number advantage, Woody's current Demon Hunter professional level is only level 2.

"Go down first and talk about it!"

Woody, who was holding the little girl, had a serious expression on his face. It wasn't the worst time yet, and he looked at the speed of the giant earth monster.

It doesn't seem to know that it is here, but there is something there that attracts it to the past.
