As he went deeper, Griffith discovered a collapsed and destroyed pit and two bodies. There were also deliberately collected tree trunks and branches scattered around the pit, but the soil in the pit had been completely collapsed.
These hired workers seemed to have made careful plans in advance. They first dug a huge trap, covered it up and lured the mountain monster over. After the mountain monster fell into the trap, they launched an attack from above, but at this time something unexpected happened.
The mountain monster used great force to dig up the soil in the pit, causing it to collapse. He successfully escaped and killed several hired workers.
Griffith thought about the current situation for a moment. Since the mountain monster fell into the trap and retaliated against the shooter, it means that the attack by the hired workers was successful at first, and it is possible that one of its eyeballs was shot out. The rest of the people did not either.
He was killed immediately, but continued to fight the mountain monster while moving.
These people are very brave! Griffith admired slightly. It is very difficult for ordinary people to face the mountain monsters, let alone fight, and flee without panic. Moreover, they have lost at least one-third of their men, and they can still continue to fight.
!
Griffith was a little afraid for a moment. Both the mountain monster and these hired workers were very cruel, and it was not safe for him to intervene rashly.
Thinking of this, Griffith was about to run away. Before he could take action, another huge explosion broke out in the nearby woods, and then a loud rumble came in his direction.
Three hired workers covered in blood fled out of the woods in panic and fled in the direction of Griffith. The leader was holding a two-handed sword and was the leader of the group, Root. The two people beside him were holding axes and
The hatchets all looked like they were in despair.
As soon as Root saw Griffith's figure, he immediately shouted: "Sir, help! Mountain monster!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the trees behind them were torn apart, and a thick tree trunk smashed into the head of the hired worker at the back.
"Bah!"
The hired worker turned into a ball of blood and mud and spattered away on the spot.
As blood and flesh splattered, a mountain monster rushed out of the dense forest with earth-shattering momentum! It was nearly four meters tall, as strong as a city wall, and its gray-brown skin was tough and full of wrinkles. There was a broken arrow stuck in its right eye.
There were many bloody wounds around his knees and neck.
Griffith weighed the throwing spear in his hand and threw it towards the knee of the troll's right leg with all his strength.
There was a blast that tore through the air, and the spear pierced the mountain monster's knees like lightning. The giant beast let out a wail and rolled directly to the ground.
My attack is so strong!? Griffith was surprised for a while. He didn't expect that he could kill a mountain monster with one blow, but he quickly realized that the mountain monster and the hired workers had been fighting for a long time, and there must be something on his body.
There were multiple injuries. The employees probably also targeted its knees, eyes and other key locations. The accumulated injuries, coupled with Griffith's full blow just now, directly broke the mountain monster's right leg.
When Root and his companions saw that the mountain monster had been knocked down, their faces showed expressions of ecstasy. But before they could take a breath, the mountain monster was already roaring crazily.
It beat the ground violently, howling with pain and anger. It lifted up the rocks under the soil with its hands and threw them at the hired workers.
Root hurriedly dodged to avoid it. However, his partner did not have such skill or luck. He was hit in the forehead by a stone and fell straight down.
The mountain monster with a broken leg grabbed the dirt and rushed forward, grabbing the hired worker's thigh and biting it directly.
Damn it! Griffith acted hurriedly, rushed towards the flank of the mountain monster with a throwing gun in hand, and shot towards the exposed waist and abdomen.
"Bang!" The spear hit deeply into the mountain monster's belly and was stuck in the muscle.
"Sir, this monster's body is extremely strong," Root shouted to Griffith, "We have been attacking it for a long time, but it is difficult to cause fatal injuries to it."
Griffith glanced at Root, who was covered in blood, and asked: "How many people are still alive?"
"Only now," Root shook his head with difficulty, "We found traces of this monster, and we followed it out of fear that it would attack the academy. We didn't expect it to be so terrifying."
"Did you shoot his eyes out?"
"Yes, Exu shot the mountain monster's right eye out, but was immediately retaliated against."
In just a few words, the mountain monster had eaten most of the hired man's body. He patted his belly and turned around, looking at the two people in front of him with his small eyes.
There was half a crossbow arrow stuck in its right eye, and the socket of its left eye was also covered with wounds, so it could only barely open it. The joint of its right leg was broken, and blood was gurgling. It could only kneel on the ground with both hands to support it.
But even so, this mountain monster is still very dangerous. Griffith estimated that his armor was as big as the mountain monster's millstone and his fist was very sure that he could not withstand the mountain monster's blow.
"Let's retreat," Griffith said after thinking for a moment. "His movements have been restricted and he can't escape very far in a short time. After returning to the academy, I will summon more people to kill him."
"Yes, sir." Root's face was covered in blood, and his expression could not be clearly seen, but his answer was simple.
The two of them immediately retreated in the direction they came from, preparing to escape over the thorns. The mountain monster actually followed them, chasing after them with both hands and the remaining leg.
This giant beast still has arrows and short spears stuck in its body. Both eyes are heavily injured, but the only remaining eye has a fierce look, which makes people really frightened. Although Griffith has not killed the mountain monster, he has also fought with his comrades.
We have hunted down giant wild bears. After those beasts had their stomachs pierced, they would stuff the outflowing intestines with grass and pursue the hunters relentlessly.
Griffith felt that he was quite cruel, and he did many bad things when he was in the East. But his courage to continue risking his life instead of retreating after being seriously injured really made him a little scrupulous.
The two of them ran all the way to the thorns, and the tree trunk that had been knocked down to serve as a bridge was right in front of them.
Griffith was about to step onto the tree trunk when he suddenly felt a pain in his leg. He immediately lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground. He saw Root holding a two-handed sword and cutting across his leg, splitting his greaves and injuring his calf.
He actually had the idea of killing Griffith here, and then he stabbed his waist with a sword.
Griffith screamed something bad in his heart and hurriedly rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding the blow.
Lute chased after him with his sword and slashed at Griffith's head. The mountain monster also noticed that his prey had stopped, showed a ferocious smile, and accelerated after him.
Griffith drew his sword, deflected Root's blow, and asked while adjusting his breathing: "It seems that you have a reason to kill this mountain monster, but why did you attack me?"
Root didn't say anything, turned around and rushed towards the tree trunk on the thorns.
"Ouch!" At the same time, a terrifying roar came, and Griffith had actually fallen into the range of the mountain monster's ability. With this heart-rending roar, his brain felt dizzy, and his body also felt dizzy.
Stiff.
As soon as the mountain monster succeeded, he raised the giant tree in his hand and smashed it down towards the trainee knight.
"Goodbye, my friend," Root waved to Griffith as he ran, "I will avenge you soon!"
It seemed like he was looking down on me. Griffith opened his palm and pressed it down.
"Freeze under my power, Freeze Nova!"
Between the lightning and flint, a ray of extremely cold ice hit Lute. Before he could see what was going on, his feet were already frostbitten and congealed.
"Boom!" The mountain monster's heavy blow landed on the ground, splashing several meters of soil, but it also missed its target. Its huge hands and feet were covered with frozen ice, and it looked at it in disbelief.
Without saying a word, Griffith rushed up to the tree trunk despite his minor injuries, grabbed Root's shoulders and threw him down.
"No!"
Root screamed, and before he could stand up, a huge palm pressed down. Root was slapped into the ground on the spot, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out.
The mountain monster raised his fist with a ferocious smile, and struck Lute with just one punch. His eyes were cracked and black beads burst out, as if a dyeing workshop had been opened, with red, black, and purple all blooming out.
Then, it grabbed Root's legs and tore them to both sides like a person tearing apart a roasted chicken.
Griffith is already ready to go. The tree trunk under his feet is too heavy to be destroyed or lifted by him alone. And the mountain monster has also seen this road, will he follow suit in the future?
It's hard to say how the big tree can be used as a bridge to escape. Once it escapes from the forest, it will be dangerous to enter Homemonworth late at night.
Seeing that the mountain monster was about to tear Root's body apart, Griffith took two steps back, sprinted forward along the trunk, and jumped up at the end.
The mountain monster who was tearing apart his prey suddenly heard the whistling of wind in his ears. Just as he was about to raise his head to look, Griffith had already passed by sideways and stabbed the mountain monster's right ear with a throwing gun. At this position, the mountain monster's right ear
Its eyes have been shot out, and its right leg has been broken, making it difficult to detect and react in time.
"Bang!"
Griffith used the power from his jump to spin around in the air, and then stabbed the sharp spear into the mountain monster's unprepared right ear. The feeling was like piercing the core of a tree, a raw feeling penetrating the brain tissue.
It also passed along the barrel of the gun.
This huge mountain monster suffocated, and the hands holding Root loosened its hold. Its remaining ferocious left eye turned up to reveal the white of its eye, and its big mouth, still dripping with saliva, opened.
It was hit hard! Griffith put his gun back on the ground and was about to launch the final blow.
At this moment, a huge and weird phantom of a bison suddenly appeared behind the mountain monster. The cold breath of death enveloped its body, and it charged towards the mountain monster menacingly.
Griffith was shocked and hurriedly stepped back, only to see its soul-like phantom appear behind the mountain monster that was hit by the bison's phantom. It let out a scream under the violent collision, and then shattered into pieces.
The ferocious mountain monster just froze there, as if it had lost its soul and turned into a rock. After about a minute, it slowly fell to one side, splashing a piece of soil with a roar.
It should have been killed. Griffith pulled out his sword, carefully walked around the mountain monster's head from behind, and slashed it towards its neck. This sword not only failed to chop off the mountain monster's head, but almost killed it.
The long sword in his hand flew out. The thick skin of the back of his neck was only slightly torn, and no vital parts were injured at all.
It's so tyrannical. With the mountain monster's vitality and extraordinary strength, not even a Shutoral team would dare to challenge it head-on.
However, Root and several hired workers not only found the mountain monster's lair hidden near the college, but also successfully led it into a trap and injured it. If it hadn't been for their previous battle, Griffith would have been alone in front of the mountain monster.
To flee for one's life in a hurry.
Root's body was thrown aside, almost torn in half, and he had lost his life. But why did he insist on killing the mountain monster here, even at the cost of trying to murder Griffith?
The information currently available is that these employees are trying to please Kroger and become regular employees of Homemon Watts. However, Homemon Watts’ selection criteria are also quite strict, and daily work on the farm alone is obviously not enough.
Let them pass the test.
From the perspective of Homemon Watts, after capable temporary employees kill the mountain monster, they are nothing more than rewarded with money and formal employee status. Griffith believes that if it is purely for money, there is no need for these employees to escape death.
If you come and fight the mountain monster, you can report it to the school and get a hefty bonus. The reason why they tried to get extra points by killing the mountain monster was that Root even chose to try to kill Griffith at the last moment.
, preventing him from escaping and asking for help from the school, probably because he wanted to take over the credit of killing the mountain monster.
After all, killing the mountain monster with his own hands and discovering the mountain monster are completely different from each other, and the school will most likely grant him the status of a formal employee for this reason.
But, is the status of a regular employee worth taking such a big risk? What exactly do they want to do when they enter Homemonworth?
Several broken clues are like a puzzle, and key information is missing and cannot be connected together.
Griffith came to Root's side and prepared to check his body. The man who had just been torn apart by the mountain monster fell on the muddy ground, and his limbs were twisted. An extremely ominous feeling filled Griffith's heart.
Haunting, as if urging him to escape from here.
Why... why did he try to kill me, the reinforcement? The first reason was naturally because he didn't want me to escape and call for help and prevent him from killing the mountain monster. But...
But with his strength, how could he kill this mountain monster? How dare he face a mountain monster alone?
Griffith reached out his hand to Root's body in confusion. A thought suddenly came to his mind.
Could it be that this Root has some kind of trump card, some kind of trump card that cannot be known to anyone, and it can only be used without witnesses?!
"Snapped!"
Suddenly, Root's right hand bounced up. He had already fallen face down to the ground, but his right hand was swung back at a weird angle, as if the shoulder and elbow joints did not exist, and he held Gerry with his backhand.
Faith's right hand extended.
"ah!"
Griffith was startled by this unexpected sight. Although he had been tested in battles for many years, the scene in front of him was too shocking and completely beyond the scope of common sense.
Root, who had been torn apart, twisted his back and moved like a normal person. His hands and feet were stretched and raised very naturally. His legs hooked Griffith's knees, and his two arms held him back.
His hands and armor.
At the same time, in the eyes of the horrified Griffith, an even more incredible and terrifying scene appeared.
The scarf wrapped around the back of Root's head suddenly squirmed, revealing the outline of a human face, and he chuckled at Griffith.
This crazy and terrifying scene was truly unheard of. Griffith had never seen such a scene even in his most absurd nightmares. His mind was in a mess, and fear instantly defeated his will, scaring him out of his wits.
Griffith began to struggle crazily. He had lost his mind and only wanted to escape from the hands of this monster.
Root's body was tightly wrapped around Griffith, as if it was hanging on him, and it was impossible to get rid of it. As Griffith rolled and struggled, the hood on the back of Root's head also fell off.
On what should be a smooth bald head, there is a hideous and twisted human facial sore. The weird and brutal wounds are like eyes, nose and mouth, staring at Griffith's pus leaking out. Suddenly, it seems that
The mouth was split open, revealing sharp fangs, biting towards the trainee knight's neck.
The frightened Griffith burst out with rare strength. While pushing the monster that was about to bite him, he pulled out a dagger and stabbed the monster randomly.
Finally, the monster was thrown out. But it had just landed on the ground, crawling on the ground on all fours like an insect, and jumped towards Griffith again.
Griffith screamed and rolled towards the area. He picked up the sword that had fallen aside and prepared to fight to the death. Suddenly, a hoarse and terrifying scream broke out around him. The sound did not sound like a human being.
Hissing is terrifying.
When the monster rushed towards Griffith, it missed the target and plunged headlong into the black thorns in front. The sharp thorns immediately pierced its flesh, and the surrounding thorns seemed to have gained life. They all surrounded the monster.
Clinging to death.
Root's body was splattered with blood like a squeezed orange. The thorns gathered more and more, and finally wrapped Root like a ball of thread.
The human-faced sore on the back of the head howled at Griffith, and then spit out blood foam and organ fragments. Its body became smaller and smaller. Finally, the thorns sucked its flesh and blood, turning from black to blood
Red slowly let go. Root's body also turned into a tattered human skin with two faces, hanging on the thorns and blowing in the wind.
Griffith looked at the mountain monster on the ground in horror, then at the nearby bloody thorns and the human skin hanging on the thorns, and his teeth trembled involuntarily.
