Shadow Covenant

Chapter 38 "Breaking the Pot and Sinking the Boat"

The long steel sword inserted into the soft elbow joint of the earth giant that had been soaked in water, and slashed hard.

Woody chopped off the arm of the earth giant that was originally as hard as a rock, and the clear water became cloudy due to the volatilization of the soil.

After cutting off his elbow, Woody did not choose to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but immediately rushed up to take a breath.

The blow just now seemed simple, but in fact he had used all his strength.

The earth giant was furious and mad, but was trapped in the water and could not go ashore, and the spell would be interrupted by the hateful humans who were stuck at the right time.

If this continues, death is a foregone conclusion.

not like this!

The earth giant has simple thoughts and simple thoughts. It wants to live, and it doesn't want to be killed by a human with a long steel sword like this.

If it wasn't for carelessness, if it wasn't for this human being being too flexible...

Too much, if it makes it extremely regretful at this time, it also stimulates a little bit of its imagination.

Maybe he can do this...

So Woody went into the water again, and found that the earth giant that was waving its fists angrily had disappeared, replaced by a huge gray hill that shrank its joints under the hard rock like a turtle under the water.

The earth giant gave up attacking and chose defense.

As long as its weaknesses are hidden, it can remain invincible.

The umber hulk idea is simple and rustic but effective.

Moreover, the most tangled thing is that if Woody leaves, then its spellcasting will not be interrupted.

When the earth giants arrive on the land again, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.

At that time, there was no second river in the abandoned mine, and the water pool came to save Woody.

Besides, if it suffered a loss once, it will not be fooled a second time again.

This time it was walking too fast and hastily, thinking to catch up with him quickly, otherwise he wouldn't lose his center of gravity so easily and fall into the river.

Woody was indeed dumbfounded when he saw the tactics of the earth giant in front of him.

What is this, a rogue?

Bullying him with a long sword is not even a +1 extraordinary weapon, not to mention cutting it a hundred times, even if it is a thousand times, what he will get in the end will only be a tragedy of a broken knife edge.

what should I do now?Woody looked at the gray hill that sank to the bottom of the water, a little dumbfounded.

Although it seems that this earth giant seems to be immersed in defense, Woody can't guarantee whether it will use magic to escape here after he leaves.

At that time, Woody didn't have the confidence to face this terrifying elemental creature whose personal level was five levels higher than his on land.

Not to mention anything else, just throwing a stone the size of a millstone over a long distance would be enough for him, not to mention if he had to bring a little girl with him.

As a result, the balance of victory began to tilt in favor of the earth giant again, even though it had broken a hand and could not leave the water.

But Woody also can't leave the ocean until he kills the umber monster.

……

"How to do?"

"Give one hand and leave directly, or cheat it two or three times, make it difficult to cast spells easily, get out of the water, and buy yourself enough time."

The center of Woody's mind was like electricity, and his thoughts were flying. The original plan to slowly grind the earth giant to death died as it gave up resistance and entered a defensive state.

After all, he never thought that an earth giant monster of level 9 and almost level 2 would be so shameless that it would hide itself in defense against a demon hunter who was only level [-], and would not even dare to duel head-on.

"How does it feel more shameless than him setting a trap?"

Woody's eyes widened in the water, as if he wanted to see if the earth giant's face buried between his knees was as skinny as a city wall...

He figured it out, the giant earth monster in front of him was planning to repay him in his own way.

Don't you like to harass it, it won't move, let you harass it enough, if you have the ability, you will harass it like this for the rest of your life.

Otherwise, it immediately cast the spell of melting into stone, freed itself from the water, and then hunted him down.

Unless I can kill him, otherwise, in the end, I must be the one who can't hold on first.

Earth giants can survive for hundreds of years without eating or drinking. They are not flesh and blood creatures, but elemental creatures, and they don't need to eat or even sleep.

But he can't. Even an elf who doesn't need sleep needs to meditate for a period of time every day. Even if the physical fitness of a demon hunter allows him to persist for a few days longer than ordinary people, he must fail first in the end.

"It can't go on like this!"

Woody took two or three breaths on the surface of the water, and finally realized that if he continued like this, he would definitely die.

He didn't need the "blasphemy" curse on the back of his neck to attack, and he had to be consumed to death by this shameless earth monster.

"Either it dies, or dies itself!"

But in front of him, only a large lump of rock outline was left in front of him, how should he deal with it in the water.

If his weapon was an extraordinary weapon, it would have already been over.

But unfortunately, he didn't have any. Even if the steel long sword in his hand was replaced with a pickaxe that was more suitable for digging, it would be useless.

The layer of rock on the surface of the earth giant is not an ordinary rock, but a natural elemental rock armor transformed by elemental power.

In "Holy One", the elemental rock armor on the player's body, damage below 15 points can't even break the durability of his defensive rock armor, let alone damage the main body.

Unable to break the defense!Your attack is like scraping...

At that time, many fighters with novice whiteboard weapons had just entered the dungeon for adventure, and they were almost beaten into autism by this thing.

Even with a lot of strength, it can bounce the knife, but it can't hurt it. When it rubs against itself, half of the health bar is empty.

This situation was not resolved until the extraordinary weapon was replaced later.

Woody recalled the fighting experience of his previous life in his mind, but he found sadly that what he could do seemed to be limited in the face of this kind of stone bump.

"Damn!"

Subconsciously, Woody wanted to touch his neck to relax his mind, but he was still stunned when he touched the back of his neck, which looked like a rolling and corrupt hill.

He suddenly felt blessed and thought of an extremely bold solution.

He wants to corrupt this monster, and let the curse of blasphemy be applied to it, so that the earth monster with the characteristic of "vulnerability" will collapse its defense system.

The only thing to worry about is that he is not a profane cultist and cannot use spells to cast curses.

And he can only use the most direct way to infect it.

That is, use your own blood!

Bloody stools mean wounds, and wounds represent the spread of the curse...

With divergent thinking, Woody stopped his movement when he originally wanted to stab his wrist, but the tip of the sword did not leave his body.

Now he only has this one way to solve it, he will never give up no matter what, and if it goes well, his level experience should be able to reach level 3 after killing this giant monster. He already has the qualifications to go to solve hidden dangers in his body.

When the tip of the sword slashed across his chest, a small wound was produced. Woody thought a lot in his mind, but never hesitated.

All are hopeful expectations for the future.

He may fall down someday, but he definitely won't fall down from cowardice!
……

The earth giant, who was always paying attention to the external situation, felt the strangeness of the humans above.

But it has now made up its mind to guard against death, and use its worthless time to consume this short-lived species alive.

So even if the sky falls, it will remain still.

It will act immediately unless the human leaves.

But what the earth giant didn't expect was that the human didn't leave, but rushed towards its position underwater with bloody hands.

For some reason, the simple heart of the earth giant felt a little palpitating when he saw the bright red...
