Chapter 93 Hill Giant
"I'm going to eat you!"

An excited roar came from the hillside.

A five-meter-tall body with rough brown skin, holding a randomly uprooted tree still covered in mud as a weapon, wearing untanned animal fur that was simply held together with hair and leather strips, the sweat on his body dripping on the rotten animal skin, giving off a strong smell - that was a hill giant.

Hill giants are selfish, dull-witted savages who live in the hills and valleys of various places, often gathering in mountain sawmills or lath huts.

They hunted, foraged, and robbed everywhere just to get more food. They crossed the mountains and forests to hunt prey with all their might, bullying the weak. If it weren't for their huge bodies and endless energy, the lazy and slow-moving hill giants would have been extinct long ago.

Now, food seems to be coming to us.

The hill giant licked his lips, and smelly saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Ever since the incredibly large ogre and his group of monsters drove the hill giants out of the valley, they have been wandering around the edges of Storm Peak every day, picking up rotten food or devouring passing humans.

The greedy hill giant hadn't had a full meal in a long time, and now was obviously a good opportunity.

Mantou sighed, "This monster is quite strong, can we really defeat it?"

Singo said disdainfully, "What are you afraid of? With our configuration, we can crush it with just basic attacks. This time we are here to give you experience. If you hadn't reached level 4, believe it or not, it would have been dead by now."

"Alright, just don't get slapped in the face and get wiped out later."

At the foot of the hillside were the "Dragon Vein Foursome". Their team's strength had been greatly improved, so they accepted the most difficult mission, [Defeat the Hill Giant Who Destroyed the Farm]. The official recommended challenge level for this mission was five.

You have to know that professional players like Singo have only barely reached level four now, and this is the result of working hard day and night, while more people remain at level one or two.

Staring at the hill giant rushing down the hillside holding a big tree, Singo was not panicked at all: "Brother Zhan Kuang, you and Qiu Yu hold it back here, and Mantou and I will attack from the air."

The natural warrior nodded simply: "Okay."

Then Singo and Mantou turned over and mounted their mounts, riding the wyvern into the air.

The born warrior went forward to fight without hesitation. Facing this enemy who was much taller than him, he was not afraid at all. He had even killed interstellar beasts in the past, so in his eyes, such a giant was nothing.

He chose the barbarian berserker path.

For the barbarian, rage is a way of reaching the extreme—the extreme of violence.

The Berserker Path is a path of blood and unbridled fury. When players enter the Berserker's fury, they will tremble in the chaotic pleasure of battle and sacrifice themselves without caring about their own safety.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

The natural born warrior raised his head and roared, going berserk.

Suddenly, his eyes turned red, his muscles bulged exaggeratedly, veins popped out, and a bloody energy emanated from his whole body.

The natural born warrior with rage rushed up to the hill giant excitedly, leaped up, and raised the giant axe in his hand high.

"Frenzy Strike!"

The giant axe carried great force, cutting through the air and slashing down.

However, because the hill giant on the opposite side was too tall, the giant axe could only barely hit the chest.

Even the hill giant was frightened by the menacing "little man", but soon when he realized that he was frightened by the little creature and that the other party was not afraid of him, ferocious rage appeared on his ugly face.

"I, I'm going to smash you into a pulp!"

The hill giant used a big tree to block the giant axe in front of him, and swung it with all his strength. The huge force caused Tiansheng Zhan Kuang and the giant axe to fly backwards together.

The natural warrior fell heavily, and his battle axe stuck into the ground beside him.

After being knocked away, he did not show any intention of retreating. Instead, his red eyes revealed a hint of joy and enthusiasm of encountering a strong enemy.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

The natural war maniac pulled out the giant axe that was deeply embedded in the ground and rushed forward again with red eyes.

"Wait a moment—"

A clear female voice came from behind him, but the born warrior continued to charge forward as if he didn't hear it.

Xia Ye Qiu Yu held his forehead and sighed behind him, the Berserker profession is good in every way, it can fight and resist, but once it goes berserk, it will not listen to anyone and will just rush forward.

Fortunately, she followed and cast a spell on the natural war maniac.

【Giant Transformation】

The natural war maniac's body suddenly swelled, from nearly two meters in height to nearly four meters in height. Even the weapons in his hands and the animal skin clothes on his body grew larger. He looked only slightly smaller than the hill giant, but could be said to be on the same level.

The natural war maniac felt his field of vision getting higher, he laughed loudly, and jumped high again, but this time he jumped and chopped not the chest but the head.

The stupid hill giant did not know any magic, but he knew that the "little man" had grown bigger and could pose a threat to him.

The hill giant roared and smashed forward with both arms.

"boom!"

The blunt-edged axe hit the tree and trembled slightly, and the natural war maniac fell to the ground with a bang.

But the hill giant still had an absolute advantage in strength, pushing the giant axe and the body of the natural war maniac down little by little.

"Aganassa fire breathing!"

Xia Ye Qiu Yu opened his lips slightly and spurted out a line of surging fire, taking advantage of the hill giant's stalemate to directly hit its huge body.

The hill giant's right shoulder was burned black, causing it to open its smelly mouth and let out a painful howl, and its hands holding the tree also loosened a little.

It was this slight slackness that allowed the natural war maniac to seize the opportunity.

He knocked the tree out of the hill giant's hand and swung the more than three-meter-long axe in his hand down hard at the hill giant's shoulder.

"Shh!"

The giant axe chopped off the entire right shoulder, which had been burned black, along with the arm.

The thick and huge right arm fell to the ground.

The warm, sticky blood splashed onto the face of the natural war maniac, but he showed no disgust at all. Instead, his expression became more excited.

“Ah ...—I’m going to kill you!”

The giant raised his head and let out a painful howl. He became furious and even unconscious because of the loss of his right arm.

He simply grabbed the giant axe that was cutting into his flesh and blood, threw it more than ten meters away, and rushed forward to engage in the most primitive and brutal close combat with the natural war maniac.

The two "giants" wrestled with each other, using knees, fists, heads, and even teeth, using every possible means.

In the sky, Singo overlooked the battle on the ground and said to Mantou: "I told you, if you don't take action, this hill giant will be beaten to death by Zhan Kuang. He never listens to others after he goes berserk, and only cares about having fun."

Mantou looked at the natural warrior who was fighting bloody battles and wanted to eat the hill giant, and exclaimed: "Damn, the warrior is really fierce!"

Singo said simply, "Stop talking nonsense and prepare to charge."

Mantou said, "Okay." Then he skillfully controlled the flying dragon and prepared for a dive.

"Ow—"

The roars of flying dragons were heard in the sky.

The hill giant, who was holding the natural war maniac down and hammering him madly, ignored the strange sound and continued to vent his anger for losing his right arm.

Even though his body size had grown, the natural war maniac's strength was still far inferior to that of the hill giant, and his rage had ended, his entire body in a state of exhaustion.

It is difficult for even a professional player like him to fight against monsters of higher challenge levels on his own.

What's more, he still has a backup plan.

And his goal was not to kill the hill giant.

The natural warrior had been beaten black and blue, but when he was lying on the ground and saw the flying dragon in the sky, a ferocious smile suddenly appeared on his face.

The dragon swooped down and Singo drew his bow and arrow.

A complex purple rune appeared on the hill giant's arm, it was the hunter's mark.

"Whoosh-"

A sharp arrow pierced directly into the mark on the hill giant's left arm at a high speed, and the bloody arrowhead went out from the other side of the arm.

Under the influence of the purple rune, an unusually large amount of blood gushed out of the hill giant's wound.

"who is it!"

The mad hill giant was attacked from behind, and he immediately raised his head and roared, turning his head, staring at the dragon rider in the air with his red eyes.

"Death!"

The hill giant picked up stones on the ground and threw them at Singo. The huge force made these stones, which were difficult for ordinary people to move, fly easily to the enemy in the air.

However, Singo controlled the flying dragon and rolled sideways in the air lightly, avoiding this dangerous attack.

The stone drew a graceful arc in the air and was about to fall to the ground.

Singo shouted, "Mantou!"

It turns out that Singo was just feinting this time!

And the real killer move is still behind!

Due to the huge force used, the hill giant still maintained the posture of throwing the stone just now, and a loud dragon roar came from behind him.

"Roar--"

Mantou swooped down from behind the hill giant at an extremely fast speed, and the wings of the wyvern under him tightened.

He bent his body slightly, his arms tightly gripping the six-meter-long lance. He could even feel the whistling wind beside his ears.

At high speed, Mantou's heart was pounding and he was filled with an extremely excited emotion.

"Come and die!"

Mantou yelled.

[Dragon Roar Charge] was activated, and the lance pierced directly into the back of the hill giant's huge head.

Under the powerful kinetic energy of the dragon rider's dive, the enormous force was transmitted along the tip of the spear, and it was even covered with red dragon aura.

In an instant, blood splashed.

The lance pierced the hill giant's tough skin, pierced through its hard skull, pierced through its dirty flesh, and went out from its open, ferocious mouth.

The hill giant's roar came to an abrupt end, and his huge body fell to the ground.

"boom!"

Mantou threw down his lance in a cool manner.

The two-legged flying dragon "Noodles" under him suddenly spread its wings to buffer its speed, and quickly climbed up again along the airflow.

The information is refreshed on the panel.

[You killed the Greedy Hill Giant and received 1800 XP]
[Your career level is increased to level 4]
Mantou's heart had not yet calmed down, and he was still a little excited. He looked up pretentiously and said, "The wine is still warm, and the enemy general's head has been taken."

He circled in the air for several times before landing on the ground.

Mantou started to look smug: "Xin Gou, let me ask you if you are handsome or not!"

Singo poured cold water on him, saying, "If you weren't a rookie who hadn't reached level 4 yet, my arrow would have hit his head, and Brother Zhan Kuang's axe would have hit his neck."

Mantou suddenly became dejected.

The natural warrior got up from the ground and touched his bald head: "This monster is really strong. I feel like I can't beat him in a one-on-one fight."

Xia Ye Qiu Yu looked at the devastated ground and nodded with lingering fear. Her physique was not strong, and she would die if she was hit by the hill giant.

But soon she asked, "Singo, what...what are you doing?"

This guy was seen holding the hill giant's smelly arm as if he had found a treasure. He even smelled the smell on it and wanted to take a bite.

Singo said as a matter of course: "This is a good thing. The finger of the hill giant can be made into a hill giant elixir that increases the strength to 21 points."

"21 points? That's amazing!"

The natural warrior suddenly became interested and came over to study the stinking giant's remains with Singo without any disgust.

Even the flying dragon hovering in the air landed aside out of curiosity, but it was not there to study.

"Hey, Feilong, don't eat it. It's a waste for you to eat it!"

Summer Night Autumn Rain: "..."

By the time they had finished cleaning up everything, the ground was a mess, and Singo's backpack was bulging and he looked excited, apparently he had returned with a full load.

But the strong fishy smell on his body, as if he hadn't taken a shower for years, made Xia Ye Qiu Yu couldn't help but quietly move away a few steps.

Singo suddenly said mysteriously, "Do you know what the next main mission is?"

Mantou scolded, "Xin Gou, stop talking nonsense and speak quickly."

Singo slowly uttered two words:
"war."

Xia Ye Qiu Yu asked curiously: "How did you know?"

Singo explained: "I stayed in the Dragon Valley, the headquarters of the Burning Embers' Nest, for three days. Unlike Mantou, who was just completing the mission, I also paid attention to the situation in the valley."

He paused and continued, "Almost every day, the hobgoblins and lizardmen armies are training. In a place with productivity close to that of the Middle Ages, training the army every day is a very unusual thing.

Mantou also quickly agreed: "I heard those voices too."

The natural warrior said, "So what you mean is that our next main plot will be a war?"

Singo nodded. "Yes, and the scale will definitely not be small. As sub-class Red Scale Conqueror, Mantou and I will play a big role in it."
