Chapter 1640: Giants and Monsters (Ⅲ)
Almost a year has passed since the day when Joan received the "Korstchurch Spirit Collar" from Clark.
Joan has neither enough time nor enough strength to go to the extremely dangerous "Country of Fog" Niflheim.
Clark entrusted him with the mission of delivering the spirit collar to the Styx Temple in the North Pole, so he had to delay it, and planned to go north to perform the contract when his strength strengthened enough to be capable of this mission in the future.
During this year, Joan, as the temporary holder of the spirit collar, has caused this artifact to complete the first phase of attunement by hunting giants and witches (hags), gaining the special function of resisting cold damage.
Just now, Joan killed eight hill giants with his own mouth, which inadvertently promoted the coherence of the spirit collar. Unsurprisingly, this artifact collar is about to complete the second coherence, and it is unknown what new functions will be added later.
Joan was hesitant to change back to human form, to check with his own eyes what stage the "Symbolism Meter" of the spirit collar had reached, when a roar suddenly came from behind him, interrupting his train of thought.
Joan turned his head and stared at the place where the roar came from. He saw an exceptionally tall and fat hill giant crawling out of the pile of corpses. His leather armor was stained with blood, and his fat face was flushed with extreme anger. , carrying a big wooden club and rushed over.
"Damn monster! You've got me on fire! I'm going to smash all your heads!"
The fat man roared angrily and rushed out two steps. Suddenly, he was caught by the corpse, and fell with a plop, and the big stick in his hand flew out.
Joan couldn't help being amused by this stupid fat man, the twelve heads hissed strangely at the same time.
"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo L L L L l K L L L L I ! I can't spare you!"
After the fat man fell down, he cried in embarrassment, got up in a hurry, and with his face full of tears, he rushed straight up to the twelve cold snake lizards, which were far bigger and more ferocious than himself, with his bare hands.
Joan was baffled by this mentally abnormal fat giant and was a little confused.
Although this big fat man was cute and stupid, he was an enemy after all. Since he rushed up to die, Joan had no choice but to harden his heart and send him on his way.
Thinking of this, Joan spread out his long neck, and threw his head at the fat giant rushing towards him, wrapping him tightly from head to toe.
He originally thought that this stupid guy would not be difficult to deal with, but as soon as he tightened his grip, he realized that something was wrong-he couldn't control the fat man, and instead had faint signs of being broken free!
Joan was secretly surprised, and quickly separated another snake neck, opened his bloody mouth, and bit the fat giant's throat fiercely, preventing him from struggling hard.
However, the opponent's counterattack came faster than he expected. With a sudden roar, his limbs forcefully opened the snake neck that was tightly wrapped around the body, and freed a pair of thick and powerful hands to grab the upper part of the second snake neck. Jaw, tear it hard!
Joan was taken aback by this crazy hill giant, and instinctively closed his mouth, trying to bite off his fingers.
The wrestling between the two sides reached a stalemate, and at the moment when Joan was planning to dispatch more heads to participate in the attack, the fat giant howled, his eyes were bloodshot, became doubly crazy, and his strength increased dramatically.
Seeing his abnormal demeanor, Qiao An immediately guessed that this guy was a "barbaric warrior" who had just activated the professional ability "Rage".
The fat giant who turned on "Rage" has significantly improved his strength and physical attributes. He immediately broke the stalemate. With both palms, he tore off the lizard's fangs, and then made another crazy move that was beyond Joan's expectations. ——Opened its big mouth and bit the snake lizard's neck fiercely, its teeth tore the scales of the snake, sinking deep into the flesh and blood.
Ever since Qiao An became a snake-lizard, he has always been the only one who bites others. He never thought that he would be bitten by a crazy fat man's neck. He couldn't help being very annoyed. He lifted the fat giant up into the air, and then slammed him to the ground.
boom! boom! boom!
Like smashing a walnut with a hammer, Joan slammed the fat giant who was clinging to him to the ground. He fell three times in a row before shaking off the crazy guy. The flesh and blood were torn off by the opponent, and the wound was rolled up, which was horrible.
Despite the blessing of "Pain Deactivation" in advance, Joan still felt a tingling pain from the injured neck. Fortunately, the snake lizard's "regeneration" physique was very strong, and the bloody wound on the neck healed quickly.
Joan breathed a sigh of relief, and looked down at the fat giant who was beaten to the ground but still struggling to get up, and was surprised by his unusual ferocity.
In the twelve-headed cold snake lizard form, including the increase of the "advanced gorgeous belt", his strength attribute is as high as 34, and his body size is much larger than that of the hill giant. However, in the process of wrestling with that crazy fat man, he did not take advantage to what cheap.
Qiao An couldn't help wondering, what is the origin of this fat man? The combat power is obviously much stronger than those giant mercenaries he killed just now!
After experiencing the accident just now, Joan learned his lesson. Before satisfying his curiosity, he stretched out all twelve heads to the fat giant who was seriously injured, and opened his mouth to spit cold wind at him.
Twelve cold breaths, with a total of 36 levels of cold magic power, all concentrated on the fat giant. No matter how brave and tenacious he was, he couldn't bear it. In a blink of an eye, he was frozen into an ice sculpture, lying stiff on the ground and sinking coma.
Seeing that the other person had lost consciousness, Qiao An started the "Advanced Internal Vision Technique" with confidence to check the person's physical condition.

Wow! Amazing power! Perverted physique!
And the same shockingly low IQ...
With only 5 intelligence points, even among the hill giants who are known for their stupidity, this guy is probably a fool who is laughed at, just like a standard "silly big guy" like a textbook!
Joan retracted his gaze from the frozen stupid big man, and turned his head to observe the situation on the battlefield.
After his coquettish operation, the fifth squadron of the Calydon Mercenary Regiment was completely wiped out, and the morale of the other four squadrons was also severely hit.
Borson, the leading brother, stood up at the critical moment and directed his mercenaries to gather in the center of the battlefield, changing from offensive to defensive formation.
The hill giant mercenaries each hold a tower shield and form a circular formation with the squadron as the unit. The peripheral mercenaries are mainly responsible for holding up the shields to block arrows and bullets, and blocking the besieging Asa warriors. The giant mercenaries living in the circle, Under the cover of the peripheral companions, they freed up their hands to throw stones, like a human-shaped fort, suppressing the opponent with fierce firepower.
