Shadow Covenant

Chapter 37 "Reversal! Earth Monster"

A clear river flowing through the rocks is what links Asenland to the Goblin Wild.

Generally, the location of this kind of passage is called the border land.

And if you want to go to the Fairy Wilderness through the Fairy Passage, you either need a key spell at a certain boundary, or the passage will appear at the right time.

Like the night of the full moon, or when the snow melts, or when the moon stands on the top of the tower...

The current goblin passage is gradually disintegrating due to the elimination of the weak monster's lair. Naturally, it is impossible to open the passage to the goblin wilderness by entering the river or using specific spells.

The resulting strange phenomenon is nothing more than a natural reaction when two planes overlap.

The river blocked the way, but fortunately it was not wide.

Even if Woody was holding a person but with enough support, he successfully relied on his agility of up to 18 points, coupled with the assistance of the wall, to jump to the opposite bank in two stages.

As soon as Woody landed, he felt that the soil on this side was softer than the other side, as if he was stepping on a swamp. Fortunately, Woody had a good sense of balance.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have staggered and fell to the ground together with the girl in his arms.

His original plan was to cross the river to see if there was a fork leading to other places at the end of the passage, so as to avoid this giant monster.

However, things turned out to be contrary to his wishes, and before he had walked ten meters, a rock wall composed of hard rocks blocked his way.

This is a dead end.

Although the surface soil is soft, you can try to dig around it, but Woody always feels that it is a little naive to try to escape by digging in front of an earth giant?

"It seems that there is no way to avoid it!"

Woody gritted his teeth, and put the little girl in the shadow at the end of the passage. The steel long sword and long-bladed dagger on his waist and back were already in his hands at some point.

"You can only fight!"

The intelligence of the earth giant is much lower than that of ordinary people, similar to that of a young white dragon.

But it is more difficult to deal with, just look at the data.

"Young earth monster "elemental alien life" (level two). "

"Challenge level 5, personal level 9, with spell-like abilities."

"The highest attribute is 20 points, the lowest attribute is 7 points, and the total attribute value is 85-95 points."

"Special feats: throwing proficiency, melting into stone, rock blood."

"Challenge Difficulty: A-."

……

Moreover, the earth giant believes in the most typical law of the jungle, the law of the jungle, and the magic energy overflowing after the tunnel bursts will find all living creatures nearby.

Therefore, when the earth giant absorbs magic energy, as long as Woody is within a certain range, he will definitely be found by the earth monster along the hole where the magic energy disappears.

Rather than being discovered, it is better to take the initiative.

The shadow ambush of the Shadow Snake school also advocates these demon hunters to be decisive and resolute when encountering problems, instead of looking forward and backward.

Moreover, the length of the river that has not yet disappeared also gave him a piece of land in the cave surrounded by rocks.

Apart from the elemental core surrounded by hard rocks, the earth giant's weakness is that it is afraid of water flow, and it generally doesn't get close to water flow.

But it will choose a detour - although the earth giant is not very intelligent, it does not mean that it is stupid.

For it, there are two walls that cannot be broken no matter how you swing.It is an excellent broad avenue, merging into the stone allows it to easily walk through the rocks, and there is no need to enter the slippery water flow that can moisten and soften the soil in its body.

However, as Woody, who once went to the earth elemental plane to mine and made himself a legendary sword, he is very clear.

Although the earth giant knows how to be flexible, it is not affected by any spells.

But there is a class of spells that it cannot be immune to, that is, spells that are not cast against it.

Just like you use fireball to smash the red dragon, the red dragon will be unscathed, but you use fireball to collapse the cave above the head, bury or even directly crush the dragon with the falling stones, and you use "stone line" The "Rock Walking" talent attached to "The Ring" escaped.

In the end, he successfully killed the red dragon with fireball.

Does this mean that red dragons are immune to fire, so spells like fireball are useless?

No, you just lack a reasonable use of spells.

A legendary mage teammate who Woody knew once emphasized it more than once.

The real spellcaster does not rely on spells to solve opponents, but his own wisdom.

Those who only know about indiscriminate bombing and magic machine guns are actually not far behind the barbarians to some extent.

Thinking about it, Woody already has an extra phantom card in his hand that he just got.

--"terrain."

It was originally used to hide the hidden compartments and pits under the stage.

But the appearance of the terrain on this card depends on the surrounding environment.

Therefore, when Woody threw the card, the back of the card made of sheepskin and mithril touched the ground.

The originally ten-meter-wide, five-to-six-meter-deep clear river turned into the same soft, rotten black soil under his feet now, extending to the opposite bank, completely covering the river surface, and there was no sign of water movement at all.

This is the beauty of illusion.

After Woody marked the position of the phantom on the river bank so that he would not be blinded by the phantom, he jumped back to the other side of the river, preparing to lure the slow-moving earth giant over earlier.

Sure enough, when Woody took the initiative to show up in front of the earth giant, the long-suppressed anger of this alien creature from the elemental plane had nowhere to release. When he met a short and weak human being at this moment, he had to take it seriously. bully bully.

So it chased after it.

So it fell into the water.

The earth giant that stepped into the pit has not yet understood why there is a pond that can submerge it in the place where there is obviously black soil.

The humanoid face was full of puzzlement.

But it naturally will not sit still, it wants to use the strength of its hands and legs to break itself out of the water.

However, when the soil on the ground sank heavily due to its weight, and the stone hands couldn't use any strength on the ground as weak as a swamp, even it with an IQ as simple as a white dragon knew that this plan could not be implemented.

Therefore, it chose another option with a higher success rate, which is to cast a spell in the water and integrate its body into the underwater rock.

In this way, it can completely break away from the shackles of the water and return to the embrace of the rock, and then he can also...

However, the dream was shattered with the clanging sound, and his spell-casting ceremony was suspended.

By a human.

How dare the human come alone underwater to fight it.

And he's a dual-wielding warrior.

Although it is wishful thinking to want to defeat it.But let it be trapped in this water that makes it uncomfortable to turn around for a long time.

Even clay figurines are full of anger.

After the earth giant found the target, it stretched out its hand angrily in the water, but Woody, who had been expected for a long time, easily kicked off the rock wall, jumped up, and avoided the waving arm.

Woody, who has rich experience in naval battles, is much richer than the giant earth monster in front of him.

Coupled with the weakened speed, even though his current swimming speed is not as fast as before, it is still very easy to deal with an earth giant.

Also, the attack positions he chose were all blind spots in the field of vision where the earth giant couldn't fight back in time.

Again and again.

Excluding the time to go back to take a breath, Woody has been entangled with the earth giant in front of him for four or five minutes.

However, the steel long sword didn't bring him much fruitful results, it was just a few shallow white marks on the rocks on his back.

But Woody's plan was not to think of a quick solution, he planned to wait for an opportunity.

And before the time came, he definitely couldn't let this earth giant go into the rock wall unharmed, the spell would definitely be interrupted.

Before that, the competition between him and it was patience.

And the earth giant obviously knew that this hateful human was waiting for its joints made of mud to soften, so it was not polite, and launched hundreds of punches and collisions, but Woody, who was like a loach, still dodged one by one.

Finally, the soil joints, which were originally as hard as rocks, began to become soft with the immersion of water.

If it is in the game now.

In Woody's vision, he can clearly see that under the head of the earth element, there is already an extra layer of "vulnerable" negative debuff.

The opportunity has come.

Naturally, without hesitation, Woody stabbed the long sword into the softest elbow joint of the earth giant.

The balance is reversed!
