Chapter 38 'Breaking the Pot and Sinking the Boat'
The long steel sword was inserted into the soft elbow joint of the earth monster that had been soaked in water, and he slashed hard.
The arm of the earth monster, which was originally as hard as a rock, was chopped off by Woody. The clear water turned turbid due to the evaporation of the earth.
After cutting off his elbow, Woody did not choose to pursue the victory, but immediately went up for a breather.
The blow just now seemed simple, but in fact he had used all his strength.
The earth giant is mad with anger, but it is trapped in the water and cannot get ashore, and the spell will be interrupted by the hateful humans who are stuck at the right time.
If this continues, death will be a foregone conclusion.
can not be like this!
The earth monster has a simple mind. It wants to live and does not want to be killed by a human with a long steel sword.
If it weren't for carelessness, if this human being wasn't too flexible...
Too many ifs made it extremely regretful at this time, but also stimulated some of its imagination.
Maybe he can do this...
So, Woody entered the water again and found that the giant earth monster that was waving his fist angrily was gone, replaced by a huge gray hill like a turtle under the water, with all its joints shrunk under the hard rock on the surface.
The earth giant gave up attacking and chose to defend.
As long as its weaknesses are hidden, it will be invincible.
The idea of the earth monster is simple and unsophisticated but very effective.
Moreover, the most troubling thing is that if Woody leaves, his spell casting will not be interrupted.
When the earth giants return to land, it will be unclear who will win and who will lose.
At that time, there was no second river or pool in the abandoned mine to rescue Woody.
Besides, if it has suffered a loss once, it will not be fooled a second time.
This time it was walking too fast and too hastily. I wanted to catch him quickly, otherwise he would not lose his center of gravity so easily and fall into the river.
Woody was indeed dumbfounded when he saw the tactics of the giant monster in front of him.
What is this, playing rogue?
Bullying him with a long sword is not even a +1 extraordinary weapon. Let alone a hundred times, even a thousand times, the end result will only be the tragedy of the blade breaking.
What should we do? Woody looked at the gray hill sinking under the water, a little dumbfounded.
Although it seems that this giant earth monster is focused on defense, Woody cannot guarantee whether it will use magic to escape from here after he leaves.
At that time, Woody did not have the confidence to face this terrifying elemental creature on land whose personal level was five levels higher than his.
Not to mention anything else, just throwing a stone the size of a millstone from a very long distance would stun him, let alone if a little girl was brought with him.
As a result, the balance of victory began to tilt towards the giant earth monster again, even though it had broken one of its hands and could not leave the water.
But Woody also couldn't leave the ocean before killing the giant monster.
…
"what to do?"
"Bet on one hand and leave directly, or swindle it two or three times to prevent it from casting spells easily and leave the water to buy yourself enough time."
The thoughts in Woody's mind were like electricity, and his thoughts were racing. His original plan to slowly kill the giant earth monster was aborted as it gave up resistance and entered a defensive state.
After all, he never expected that a level 9, almost level 3 earth giant would be so shameless as to cower in defense against a level 2 demon hunter, not even daring to fight head-on.
"Why does it feel more shameless than setting a trap for him?"
Woody's eyes widened in the water, as if he wanted to see if the face of the earth giant monster buried between his knees was as thick as a city wall...
He could finally see that the giant earth monster in front of him was planning to retaliate in kind.
Don't you like to harass it? It won't move and will let you harass it enough. If you have the ability, you will continue to harass it for the rest of your life.
Otherwise, it will immediately cast a spell that melts into stone to rescue itself from the water, and then hunt him down.
Unless you can kill him, in the end, you will definitely be the first to be unable to hold on.
Earth giants can survive for hundreds of years without eating or drinking. They are not flesh and blood creatures, but elemental creatures, and do not 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 can allow him to persist for a few days longer than ordinary people, the final outcome will definitely be that he fails first.
"This can't go on like this!"
Woody took two or three breaths on the water, and finally realized that he would definitely die if he continued like this.
Before the "blasphemy" curse on the back of his neck broke out, he would be consumed alive by this shameless earth monster.
"Either it dies or it dies!"
But in front of him, only the outline of a large lump of rock was left. How should he deal with it in the water?
If his weapon was an extraordinary weapon, it would have been over long ago.
But unfortunately, he didn't. Even if the steel sword in his hand was replaced by a mining pick that was more suitable for mining, it would be useless.
The layer of rock on the surface of the earth monster is not an ordinary rock, but a natural elemental rock armor transformed by the power of the elements.
In "Saint", the player's elemental rock armor can't even break the durability of his defensive rock armor with less than 15 points of damage, let alone damage the main body.
Unable to break defense! Your attacks are like scraping...
At that time, many warriors with novice whiteboard weapons had just ventured into the dungeon, and they almost became autistic because of this thing.
If you use too much force, the knife will bounce, but you can't hurt it. If it touches you, the health bar will be half empty.
This situation was not solved until later when extraordinary weapons were used.
Woody recalled the battle experience in his previous life in his mind, but he sadly found that facing this kind of stone bump, what he could do seemed to be very limited.
"Damn it!"
Woody subconsciously wanted to touch his neck to relax his mind, but he was still stunned when he touched the back of his neck, which was like an undulating and decaying hill.
He suddenly felt blessed and thought of an extremely bold solution.
He wants to corrupt this monster and impose the curse of profanity on it. In this way, the earth giant monster with the "vulnerable" characteristic will collapse its defense system.
The only thing he needs to worry about is that he is not a cultist and cannot use spells to cast curses.
And he can only use the most direct way to infect it.
That is, with your own blood!
Bloody stools represent wounds, and wounds represent the spread of the curse...
With his thoughts diverging, Woody originally wanted to stab himself on the wrist, but he stopped, but the tip of the sword did not leave his body.
Now he has only one way to solve it. He will not give up no matter what. Moreover, if everything goes well by killing this giant earth monster, his level experience should be able to reach level 3 smoothly. By then, he will have a seal and a specialty.
He is already qualified to solve hidden physical dangers.
When the tip of the sword scratched his chest, leaving a small wound, Woody thought a lot in his mind, but he never hesitated.
All are confident expectations for the future.
He may fall one day, but he will never fall because of cowardice!
…
The earth giant monster, which was always paying attention to the external situation, felt something strange about the humans above.
But now it has made up its mind to guard against it and use its own insignificant time to consume this short-lived species to death.
So even if the sky falls, it will remain still.
It will not act immediately unless the human leaves.
But what the giant earth monster didn't expect was that the human didn't leave, but rushed towards its position under the water with blood-stained hands.
For some reason, the earth giant's simple heart palpitated when he saw that bright red...
