As the ground shook, the humanoid creature, which was over three meters tall and made of soil and rock, finally emerged from the mountain.
Different from the round earth element, the earth monster's arms are more like two cylinders and a ball, and the face that should have been blurry reveals a recognizable cold, expressionless face, like
They are like simple stone statues carved by primitive societies.
And Woody just observed that the secret mark was the mark carved on the indifferent forehead of the earth giant.
It is exactly the same as the arcane mark flashing on the illusion map card.
In other words, Reeves' secret mark, which means the treasure is actually hidden in...
Looking at the giant earth monster that had appeared from the mountain in front of him, Di's mind raced and he quickly sorted out the cause and effect.
A few years ago, Reeves summoned this underage earth giant from the earth elemental plane here to guard the treasure for him.
Later, circus leader Brendan Fraser found this place according to the map mark on the card left by Reeves. After digging the underground tunnel, he did not find the so-called treasure.
He thought he had been deceived and left doubts in his diary, but he never thought that the treasure was hidden in the body of a sleeping giant monster. Coupled with the bullying monsters brought by the fairy passage, he was directly here.
The desire to continue searching was in vain.
In the end, he also turned into a terrifying monster that loved to torture, abuse, and wander around the ruins.
This is the fate of most Asenrant adventurers. Adventurers will eventually die in adventure.
After all, "Male Mask" Reeves, whose advanced illusionist profession is the "Deceiver", will never let you get it so easily even if he sets up a treasure location.
Traps, traps, secret doors, or guardians like earth monsters are normal. In the treasure house of the legendary dragon, you can even see the lair guarded by dragon souls and scarabs.
When the strength is insufficient, sometimes encountering treasures is not a gift from the lucky lady Tymora, 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 steel long sword he bought from the blacksmith shop for 15 gold coins.
Without any hesitation, he immediately gave up his plan to fight with 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 soil.
Even if you chop it hundreds of times, you may not be able to break its defense. If it catches or rubs you against it, you will probably lose half of your life.
Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, as the earth monster is the guardian of the treasure, it will always sleep here.
After he switches to an extraordinary weapon with at least +1 and raises his career level to level 5, which is the second level, it won't be too late to cause trouble for this big guy again.
However, the appearance of the giant earth monster currently blocked his way back, and Woody could only try to hide in the passage inside the cave entrance.
Its perception is not high, and it is now attracted by the magical aura that was born after the collapse of the fairy passage. As long as you be careful, wait for it to enter the collapsed cavity, and then find a chance to leave.
Woody remembered that the way the earth monster grows is to absorb enough earth element essence to accumulate more stones on itself.
The newly born earth monster is only the size of a watermelon, and its challenge level is not even 1, which is similar to that of a kobold.
However, after reaching adulthood, the challenge level of the adult earth giant, which is tens of meters tall and stands like a stone tower, exceeds 18.
The reason for immunity to psychic spells and damage from extraordinary weapons below +3 weapons is that most of the minerals in the body are raw materials for making extraordinary weapons.
The earth element essence is not only obtained by absorbing ores, but also refined by this magical breath.
After all, in Asenland, it is very difficult for a giant earth monster to plunder the elemental essence here. In addition to strength, it also requires luck.
Unlike the earth elemental plane, the entire plane is just a huge stone. They live in the stone and can absorb the elemental essence anytime and anywhere.
Woody held the unconscious Lin and moved back to avoid a face-to-face conflict with the giant earth monster.
With his current strength, if he wants to go head-to-head with the big guy in front of him.
Unless the earth giant monster stands still and does not fight back, it is possible that if a random piece of stone is shot from the body of the earth giant monster and scratches the body of the earth giant monster, he will not be able to withstand it, let alone fight back.
The earth giant with magic-like abilities took full action.
Beyond the lair of the bully monster, there is a deep slope that leads downwards to an unknown place.
There are no traces of minecarts on the ground, so it is obviously a naturally formed cave.
The air seemed to be exuding a moist and cool atmosphere due to the surrounding moss, and the soil on the ground was also a little wet.
However, what Woody didn't expect was that the giant earth monster did not go towards the lair of the bully monster, but towards the inner passage where he was.
"how so?"
"Did you make a mistake in judgment?"
"Or is it that the earth giant monster itself, as a guardian, noticed the card on me and judged me as the one who took the treasure?"
"But it seems that last time Brendan Fraser came here, he didn't mention any information about the giant monster."
"Damn it!"
Woody saw that the earth giant ignored the bully monster's lair and was walking towards him, knowing that he could no longer delay and hesitate.
He could either fight it out, charge head-on to bypass the giant monster, and then leave here, but in this case, he would not be able to leave with Lin.
Moreover, Woody suddenly thought that the passage to the surface consisted of a manually dug tunnel that was extremely difficult to move quickly.
There, his speed will drop by at least two-thirds.
As a rock creature, the earth monster is born with the characteristic of "melting into stone". Simply put, it is similar to earth escape. Although it was slow just now, its agility is not low. 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 monster has an extremely abnormal specialty.
——"Throwing Specialization"
Woody once saw with his own eyes on the forum that someone tried to steal the copper dragon's treasure house. The copper dragon's lair was surrounded by a maze, and an entire tribe of earth trolls lived in the maze.
As for the dragon-slaying team, they fell to the giant earth monsters in the maze without even seeing the face of the copper dragon. There were many professionals with more than 20 points of agility and powerful mages in the team.
However, under the rain of rocks that were almost self-aiming, each one weighing hundreds of kilograms, they still fell in the maze one after another.
Although he has a certain numerical advantage, Woody's current demon hunter career level is only level 2.
"Go down first and then talk!"
Woody, who was holding the little girl, looked gloomy. It was not the worst yet, and look at the speed of the giant earth monster.
It seems that it doesn't know that it is here, but there is something there that attracts it.
