Chapter 28 Hunting Ice Worms

Finally freed from the "firewood, rice, oil and salt" every day, especially the effects of the "Heroes' Banquet", William has been in a very happy mood recently. Seduced by the delicious food, the little girl has forgotten her previous worries and spends the whole day with El. Fu was playing and laughing at the dining table.

Hillen, who intended to sneak attack on William, was disgraced that day, and was "Danced by Otto"! A top-level magic that has an effect similar to a prank. Although Hillen heard her sisters talk about the Corner of Cole, she never heard anything about it. Thinking that the effect of this artifact would be so perverted, the poor woman had to dance in the snow all day until she was knocked unconscious by William who came back from the trip. The next day she endured back pain and leg cramps. After summoning the "Heroes' Banquet" again, Shiron recovered with the help of divine magic.

Even if it is snowy weather, the frost giants will brave the wind and snow to go hunting. As the king of the cold snowfield, the heavy snow will not only not hinder their actions, but will even help the hunters get closer to the prey. However, this time the frost giants are planning to hunt. The goals are not simple, they are also very adapted to the ice and snow of the North.

Ice worms, also known as centipede monsters or polar worms, are creatures that live in the cold and barren polar regions. They are quite aggressive predators. They will eat all edible creatures, including humans and half-humans. Or humanoid creatures, it is said that they will even attack frost giants and dragons.

When ice worms are angry, their bodies can generate temperatures high enough to melt steel, and anything that touches their bodies will be burned by the heat. They use their own heat to burrow through ice and rocks as their cold homes, and prey on any nearby creatures.

Ice worms are wild creatures. Every year, many frost giants unfortunately fall into their mouths and become delicacies. However, ice worms are sometimes tamed by frost giants as guards. Since the incident of divine intrusion during the blood sacrifice ceremony, Gotti and Azuna's heart was filled with fear.

The majestic Winter Goddess was so frightened that she ran away, which seriously shook Oluel's status in the hearts of the frost giants. Gorty was extremely worried about the possible reaction of the Frost Maiden, and Oluul made a fool of himself in front of the believers. They will definitely try to cover up the matter, and the frost giants present at the time will be in trouble. Although the Winter Goddess will not do it herself regardless of face, it is very possible to use small tricks to seduce some monsters to come forward.

The only thing that could threaten the Frost Giants on the Spine of the World was the ice worms, except dragons and frost giants. Gordy and Asuna decided to take a preemptive strike and clear out the ice worms living nearby. The strong men took turns leading the team to clear out the dangerous creatures within a hundred miles. Don't think that Gotti and Yasuna were weak. The last time William was able to defeat Gotti was just by surprise, and the close combat effectiveness of the martial arts master was too strong. , in fact, the two frost giant leaders are definitely much stronger in head-to-head confrontation.

Fenia, who holds the Thunder Frost, is now recognized by the frost giants as the third strongest person here (they do not agree with William, who is a human, and Sheron, who is suspected of being a dragon). After all, the power of the magic weapon is really great. It was too powerful, so Finia naturally became the main force of the hunting team. However, after learning about the characteristics of ice worms from Elf (the monster map was still in the hands of the moon elf), William was not worried about Finia's head. Guazi, if this silly girl bumps into an ice worm, she might get confused at any time! Ice worms are not a kind creature! Therefore, William also volunteered to become a non-staff member of the hunting team.

Frost giants are indeed the pride of the ice and snow. Even in the snow-covered mountains and forests, they can still come and go freely. Frost giants are not afraid of the cold. The clothes they wear are not so much used to protect themselves from the cold.

Decoration for decoration. After walking for a long time, the hunting team found no trace of ice worms, but the guide who led the team swore that two underage frost giants had indeed disappeared in this area. Yasuna led the team

He stopped at the foot of a leeward mountain wall.

"Rest here for a while, and then we return to the valley!" Yasuna said loudly. Any mage or priest will have one or two skills to provide logistics spells, such as "Water Creation" and "Food Creation" ("Heroes' Feast" is one of them)

Advanced existence), it can easily provide the rations and drinking water needed by people in trouble, but this kind of food made with magic cannot be eaten regularly. They cannot provide the eater with enough nutrition like ordinary food, so

Except for emergencies, spellcasters generally do not use it often.

Obviously this situation does not apply to frost giants. In the winter when food is scarce, the magical food made by frost giant priests accounts for a large proportion of the frost giants' diet. This is why frost giant priests occupy a high position among ordinary frost giants.

One of the important reasons. William watched with great interest as large chunks of magic bread were made out of thin air by Asuna, and then devoured by hungry frost giants. William looked at the good-looking golden bread in his hand and exuded

The charming aroma of wheat seemed very tempting, but when William took it into his mouth, it changed its appearance. It was dry and dry, just like chewing old rotten sawdust and wheat bran.

It is indeed the most appropriate to use it in this context.

William's tooth ached as he watched the frost giants swallow these "garbage bread" indifferently. His nose felt a little sour. Who would be willing to use such pig food as food if not forced by the environment? The so-called hateful thing

People must have pitiful points, and these giants who are evil and cruel in the eyes of ordinary people have an unknown bitterness.

Finia, whose appetite was whetted by William, could no longer eat these "magic breads". The female half-giant, who might have forgotten the taste of these breads, took a big bite, and then hurriedly spit out the food in her mouth.

Looking at the glaring Asuna with a bitter look on her face, the female frost giant leader also held a piece of magic bread and ate it with gusto.

It is indeed not an easy task to go from extravagance to simplicity. William sighed and was about to take out the food accumulated in the ring and give it to Finia, but he saw the snow layer under the stone wall suddenly sank, accompanied by a burst of leather wings.

At the sound, a huge head that looked like an insect raised up, a huge mouth big enough to swallow an adult human, and bit fiercely towards Finia.

The attack of ice worms! But Finia didn't notice the movement behind her, and all the frost giants had no time to react. They even kept chewing the magic bread. William roared angrily, and there was an explosion under his feet.

His body seemed to turn into a phantom as he quickly pushed away the female half-giant and rushed into the big mouth of the ice worm.

This was an adult super-large ice worm. When William rushed towards its huge mouth, he had curled up as much as possible to prevent being injured by its mouthparts. William only felt his eyes darken, and he understood that he had entered

In the monster's mouth.

He stretched out and drew the sword! The unsheathed Qiu Shui Broken Dreams seemed to emit a faint blue light, causing ripples. In fact, William understood that it was just an illusion reflected in his heart by the Qiu Shui Broken Dreams. William inserted the sword fiercely.
