Due to Sharkey's teachings since childhood, Skadi has an almost fanatical obsession with hunting.
Odin valued her weakness and set up a trap for Skadi to accidentally kill her father during the hunt.
As the saying goes, one learns from one's mistakes.
When Skadi's blood began to boil, Fenrir's warning growl woke her up at the right time.
This is a task Lu Xiao specially assigned to Fenrir before one man and one wolf set off.
Always remind Skadi to stay objective and focused, and not to be fascinated by the prey in front of you and ignore the traps that may exist in the surrounding area.
Fenrir's warning was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, cooling Skadi's boiling hunting blood.
After the giant demon pig walked out of the cave, it was immediately attracted by the giant wolf in front of it. It lowered its head and dug its front feet into the ground, breathing heavily from its mouth, and was ready to fight at any time.
The magic pig attracted by Fenrir did not notice Skadi hiding in the forest, allowing her to lay out tactics and traps more calmly.
Fenrir had no intention of fighting this big pig to death. The protagonist of this hunt was Skadi. It was only providing some assistance to the hunting queen and would not overwhelm the hunter.
Seeing that Fenrir had no intention of attacking, the demon pig first howled and charged at the enemy who invaded his territory.
Once the demonic pig, which is as huge as a hill, charges up, its pressure is astonishing, and the ground begins to shake violently under the impact of its four hooves.
While launching the charge, some of the runes on the demon pig's body were lit up. These runes increased the demon pig's charging acceleration. The seemingly bulky demon pig rushed in front of Fenrir almost in the blink of an eye.
Although he was a little surprised by the speed of the demon pig, Fenrir had followed Hela through hundreds of battles, so this little trouble could not trouble it.
While leaping sideways to dodge, Fenrir could still take some time to use his front paws to scratch a few blood marks on the side of the demon pig's body as he passed by.
"Whoosh!"
Two feather arrows shot out from the woods almost at the same time, locking the demon pig's eyes as wide as copper bells before it stopped moving.
Sensing the crisis, the demon pig immediately closed its eyelids, and its skin, which was harder than rock, blocked Skadi's sneak attack.
"Ding~"
The arrow hit the demon pig's eyelids and made a crisp knocking sound. Fenrir took the opportunity to shrink his body and disappear into the forest.
Finding no trace of Fenrir, the demon pig turned its attention to the direction of the attack.
Skadi did not immediately transform back into her original form and start a head-on battle with the demon pig. When the demon pig roared and rushed towards the trees, she flexibly dodged left and right in the coniferous forest, relying on the dense needles of evergreen plants to block the demon pig's sight.
.
The angry demon pig crashed through the forest like a tank and forcibly opened its way. When it approached the location where Skadi had been hiding, ice-blue runes suddenly flashed on the ground.
"Ouch!"
The power of frost that burst out from under its belly froze the demon pig's two hind legs, losing the support of its hind legs. The demon pig, which was moving at high speed, fell forward unconsciously.
After standing up tremblingly, its movements became much slower, and the flashing red runes on its body seemed to be dispelling the cold and thawing the parts of the body that were attacked.
Skadi would not let go of this perfect opportunity. While transforming back into her original giant form, she detonated multiple rune traps buried around the magic pig.
The indigo rune array formed a barrier to trap the slow-moving demon pig. The rapidly dropping temperature in the barrier made the demon pig feel a fatal threat.
"Huh! Huh!"
As the demon pig's eyes lit up with an earthy yellow light, the frozen earth shook and cracked, and the runes buried by Skadi were also destroyed during the cracking process.
"It's indeed an earth attribute."
Previously, the Demonic Pig used fire and wind spells respectively in a short period of time. This should be the combat wisdom developed by this lord-level monster through years of struggle to survive, in order to cover up its true main attributes.
When faced with a life-threatening situation, the Demonic Pig did not care about anything else and subconsciously used its dominant attributes to destroy nearby traps.
Skadi had already guessed that the runes would not be able to trap the demon pig, and he was ready for the next step when the demon pig escaped.
The five arrows on the bowstring were shot out at the same time. The arrows collided mysteriously with each other in mid-air. The arrows glowing with magic light penetrated into the demon pig's body from different angles.
The location where these arrows hit happened to tear apart the yellow runes on the demon pig's body. The demon pig, who was about to use earth spells to strengthen his defense, felt his whole body lose strength.
Skadi's movements have not become sluggish despite her enlargement. Her well-proportioned and well-proportioned physique allows her to possess both strength and agility.
Realizing that something was wrong, the demon pig began to use spells to build a wall between the two, in an attempt to slow down Skadi's attack rhythm and give himself more time to recover.
Skadi, who was rapidly moving in a Z-shaped path in the forest, bypassed all the earthen walls and approached 20 meters in front of the demon pig to fully draw the bowstring.
A charged enchanted arrow shot directly at the forehead made the demon pig lower its head as if facing a powerful enemy, and concentrated all the earth elements it could gather in a short period of time into its head.
"clang!"
There was a sound of gold and iron clashing, and the demon pig blocked Skadi's arrow with its forehead.
But at this time, the trace of Skadi disappeared from the aftermath of the disaster.
The demon pig, which was too focused on frontal defense, ignored other directions. It wasn't until it saw the changing shadows on the ground that it suddenly raised its head.
But by now it was too late.
Skadi landed lightly on the demon pig's back, and wrapped the bowstring of the short bow in his hand around the demon pig's neck like a flowing cloud.
He gently stroked the bowstring with his fingers as if plucking the strings of a piano. The demon pig, which was about to roll on the spot and knock Skadi down, suddenly stopped moving.
The huge head seemed to have been cut by a sharp weapon. The broken piece slid flatly to the ground, and a thin layer of ice could still be seen vaguely at the cut.
…
When Skadi dragged the demon pig's body back to Langham Village in giant form, the remaining villagers headed by the village chief immediately became excited.
The magic pig that had troubled them for several years was finally defeated. From now on, the hunters in Langham Village can once again use the golden hunting ground closest to the village to support their families.
Throwing the huge corpse of the demon pig in the village square, Skadi sat down on the ground and transformed back into human form.
"So hungry..."
After rubbing her belly with a grimace, Skadi turned her longing eyes to the village chief of Langham.
The giant's body form can exert powerful combat power, but it also consumes a lot of physical energy.
In order to travel as fast as possible, Skadi has not eaten on a large scale since she was awakened from death by Lu Xiao.
Transforming back into her original giant form consumed her little physical strength. As soon as she returned to the village, Skadi immediately returned to her human form and cried out that she was hungry. Lu Xiao could even hear the growling sound in her stomach.
"Haha! We have already prepared food!"
Langham Village is a village of giants, and the cost of fighting to return to its original form is fully understood.
As early as when Skadi left the village to start hunting, the housewives who stayed in the village took out the few grains in the village and began to prepare food.
Seeing Skadi eating at high speed in a fairly elegant manner, Lu Xiao smiled bitterly and shrugged at Yongzhen and Tamamoae who were standing aside.
"No wonder the number of giants has been unable to increase. The amount of food they need to consume is too terrifying. Jotunheim, with its barren land, cannot support many giants at all."
Mimir added with some emotion: "Yes, food is the biggest problem limiting the growth of the giant population."
"Most giants will save consumption in human form, but once a full-scale war with Asgard begins, the consumption rate of food will become very scary, so giants have always tried to avoid wars."
"Lu Xiao, if you want to persuade the giants and Asgard to start a full-scale war, logistical supplies are an unavoidable problem. You should make corresponding preparations first."
