In order to avoid exposing his trump card in front of "strangers", Lu Xiao did not use the increasingly proficient power of time and space, but raised his hand to write a set of runes in the void.
After the runes came into contact with the strong magic power of the outside world, they immediately underwent amazing changes.
Lu Xiao looked at the blazing flames that rushed out of the rune formation with some astonishment. The fire, which far exceeded his expectations, swept the three mountain monsters into it in the blink of an eye.
"roar!"
The silent mountain monsters could only express their emotions through roars. This time, Lu Xiao could clearly hear pain and fear in their roars.
To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself. Now that the fight has begun, Lu Xiao has no intention of letting them leave.
"Sorry, the general rule of the world is that the weak eat the strong!"
Lu Xiao used the dragonborn talent to add fuel to the fire. Driven by the wind, the flames created by the runes gradually formed into a fire tornado rising into the sky.
The roar of the mountain monster became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared completely along with the smell of roasted meat.
After waving his hand to disperse the spell, Lu Xiao stopped paying attention to the three dead mountain monsters and turned his attention to the two uninvited guests.
The sturdy man looked at Lu Xiao and frowned: "God?"
Lu Xiao shook his head: "No, I am a human being."
"That's good."
The big man had no intention of continuing to communicate with Lu Xiao and others, so he picked up the jumping naughty child from the ground and threw it onto his shoulder, then turned around and left without saying a word.
When the cheerful child left, he turned back and waved to Lu Xiao and others: "I hope to see you again in the future."
"Shut up, kid."
"Okay, Father."
"Huh~"
When the burly man walked away, Tamamo Mae, who had a frizzy tail, finally let out a sigh of relief.
"What a powerful oppression. Who is this guy? For a moment, I thought I would be torn into pieces by him."
Lu Xiao also relaxed his tense nerves slightly, and said jokingly to Tamamo Mae: "You are right, there are dozens if not hundreds of gods who were torn into pieces by him. With your current strength... I'm afraid...
Not enough to fill his teeth."
"Hey~" Tamamo-mae rubbed her arms that were covered in goosebumps: "It sounds scary. Let's stay away from him."
Even as he ages, Kratos is still Kratos.
He who once tore Ares to pieces and became the new God of War of Olympus still has a sword that has not aged, but has tempered the edge of his youth.
But the sense of oppression brought by the calm momentum is even more terrifying than when it is completely exposed.
After meeting Kratos and Atreus, Lu Xiao roughly knew the current time point. The two of them should have just embarked on their journey.
Kratos had always been very wary of Lu Xiao and others while watching the battle. Logically speaking, people who met for the first time would not be so wary.
'Have you ever been threatened by a stranger when you arrived not long ago?'
Judging from Kratos' standards, Atreus, who was unable to control his rage, was not ready to embark on the journey. He planned to train his son at home for a period of time before setting off.
But a sudden attack forced Kratos to change his mind. In order to avoid more trouble, Kratos took Atreus and left home in a hurry, and officially embarked on the journey.
"Suck~"
Fenrir moved closer to the roasted mountain monster and smelled it. The stench mixed with the aroma of the meat made him take two steps back hastily.
Yongzhen and Lu Xiao had already approached the downed giant deer at this time. Yongzhen waved to Fenrir and reminded: "Fenrir, don't eat randomly, come here quickly."
The demon wolf's drooping tail swayed slightly, and it rubbed its head on Yongzhen's body fawningly.
Yongzhen touched Fenrir's big head gently: "Don't worry, we will give you this deer for lunch after we finish the research."
"Ouch~"
Lu Xiao closed his eyes and put his hand on the neck of the giant deer whose eyes were filled with fear.
"Sleep, you will enter Helheim in a painless state to wait for reincarnation."
"Yo..."
The giant deer finally let out a nostalgic cry, slowly closed its eyes, and gradually lost the breath of life.
In Nordic mythology, there is a special world among the nine realms nourished by the World Tree, the underworld - Helheim.
The souls of all the dead in the nine realms will enter Helheim to wait for their fate. They may be reincarnated, or they may stay in Helheim to suffer from now on. It all depends on the mood of the ruler of Helheim.
The ruler of Helheim was supposed to be Hela, the god of death, but when the story of God of War 4 took place, Hela had not yet been born, and Helheim would swallow souls according to its own world rules.
"Aletheia, scan its body structure."
"It has been completed and is being analyzed."
Lu Xiao stood up from the ground, raised his head and patted the neck of the giant wolf Fenrir: "Okay, the record has been completed, this guy is yours."
"Woo~woo~"
Fenrir shook his head and pointed at the giant deer carcass on the ground with his paws. His smart eyes seemed to be asking Lu Xiao for something.
After Yongzhen explained it, Lu Xiao understood its meaning, and Fenrir, who was gradually attracted by Yongzhen, wanted to eat cooked food.
…
"Ah woo~ ah woo~"
After some disembowelment and hair removal, Lu Xiao used rune magic to roast the giant deer, and Fenrir began to enjoy the meal happily.
Anyway, we had to wait for Aletheia and Consus to analyze the results, so the group simply set up camp nearby temporarily.
The roasted mountain monster cannot be used as a reference sample, but Lu Xiao already has a rough grasp of the strength of this giant humanoid creature.
"As long as we are not attacked by a large number of mountain monsters, Yongzhen can deal with them on his own without using shikigami."
Yongzhen, who was watching the whole battle, nodded: "Although the speed of swinging weapons is not bad, the steps of these mountain monsters are too clumsy."
"As long as you seize this weakness and roam around to attack, it's not difficult to defeat them."
While Tamamo Mae was taking care of the messy tail after the fried hair, he added: "This kind of creature called a mountain monster should just exist in this world like a wild animal. It is not yet clear whether there are more powerful wild creatures.
.”
"Judging from the weapons of the mountain monsters, they should be able to use the runes that Lu Xiao mentioned...?"
Lu Xiao shook his head: "Not necessarily. They might have picked up those pillars from some ruins. I don't think the mountain monsters are smart enough to use runes."
"Let's sum it up."
Lu Xiao used Foucs to send the information he compiled to Yongzhen and Tamamoae: "Based on the initial contact, the wild creatures in this world are highly dangerous, but I don't know if this situation is normal."
"Lu Xiao, the analysis results are out."
Consus and Aletheia suddenly interjected at this time: "The muscle strength of this giant deer is at least five times that of the deer on Earth. Their fur is also very flexible and can slide open swords to a certain extent."
Aletheia sighed and said: "The creatures in this world have evolved to a certain extent under the nourishment of rich magic power."
"Unfortunately, we cannot analyze the principles of evolution in detail through scientific means."
Consus added: "Based on the current situation, it is at least certain that the level of danger in this world is not comparable to all the worlds we have experienced before."
"Lu Xiao, you'd better stay vigilant at all times as you continue to explore."
"If the gods of this world are really as described in Norse mythology... Believe me, Thor is definitely not the honest alien you know."
"He is the most brutal executioner under Odin, a fighting madman who kills many people."
