Chapter 91: Chopping the ‘Rock Crotch’ with Force
While Ryan was replying to the enthusiastic bounty hunter, he checked the system prompts:
[Your skill Giant Bear Swordsmanship has been improved, experience +145]
[You have experienced a battle, Night Watcher professional experience +76]
The battle took a very short time. Although Ryan only mobilized 30% of the power of the "power burst" and only swung the sword twice, each sword was an excellent combination of Ryan's current level of power and skills.
Therefore, the experience gained can be said to be quite rich.
The three bounty hunters on the side were eager to get close to Ryan, which was completely different from their indifference when they first came. They seemed to have completely changed their faces.
"I heard that ogres appeared near the town of Goldshire?"
"I saw with my own eyes that Harald, the "little giant", took on this task in the county town."
"."
Hearing the bounty hunters talking about the "giant" who impressed Ryan, Ryan immediately thought of the scene that day when the other party's entire bounty hunter team entered the town of Goldshire.
And the barbarian girl with a big shield on her back walking at the end.
Ryan naturally wanted to know about the barbarians and the ogres.
Especially after a few days, he didn't seem to hear any news about them from other people.
It seems that the barbarian bounty hunter team waited for a few days at the Beechwood Inn and set out after getting accurate news from the ogres.
However, it has been two or three days since the other party left the Shimmering Gold Town Inn today. Calculating the time, the other party should have returned long ago.
But for some reason, Ryan has never heard about their return.
Could it be that the other party returned directly to the county town?
It's possible.
Perhaps these three bounty hunters from the county town know some news.
Thinking of this, Ryan also nodded slightly, and replied with a little reserve: "Yes, that team of barbarian warriors is very strong."
"Yes, but I see that Ryan, you have such strength at such a young age. I'm afraid that in the near future, it will be real."
Just as the bounty hunter was talking eagerly, there seemed to be some high-frequency vibration in the air that could not be heard by human ears.
Buzz!
A trembling breath suddenly descended, and everyone felt something was wrong.
"Crack!"
Before everyone had time to check around, Ryan and others felt a tremor in the ground, and the top of the mine tunnel began to fall with rubble of varying sizes, which immediately made everyone sway left and right and unstable.
"Is it an earthquake?" Many people exclaimed.
But 'Cookie' began to bark wildly at the back, and Ryan's heart was also alarmed in an instant.
"Not good, enemy attack!"
But before Ryan had time to turn around, he felt a huge gust of wind behind his head.
Ryan immediately rolled forward on the spot to dodge the attack from behind.
But the two elite night watchmen following Ryan were unable to dodge.
"Bang!"
It was like a sound of a hammer hitting a watermelon!
The heads of the two elite night watchmen were like exploded watermelons, instantly shattered into pieces, blood and white brain matter burst out and scattered all over the ground.
The colleague who was chatting and laughing with him before, at this moment, had died immediately!
Ryan looked back suddenly, and he found that the one who attacked them was a three-meter-tall monster whose head almost touched the top of the mine.
The opponent was like a giant, with pits and bumps on the surface of his body, holding a stone mace more than two meters long.
The horrible blow just now was caused by the opponent swinging the stone mace.
But what puzzled Ryan was that they had not noticed such a big monster when they came here before. They had passed this part of the tunnel once when they entered.
In addition, it stands to reason that a monster of this height and size walking in the tunnel should be able to feel the vibration from dozens of meters away, but the opponent's attack came so suddenly and secretly.
Moreover, he brought 'Cookie' with him this time. The hearing and smell of dogs are dozens of times that of humans, but they still found out just before being attacked.
It's really weird!
At this time, Captain Willen's eyes were red with anger. The two men just now were his direct subordinates. They had experienced many missions and battles, and their relationship was extraordinary.
Unexpectedly, he died here.
Immediately, Willen used all his strength to stab the monster's chest with an extremely fast step.
It seemed that the monster had no time to react.
Just when Willen thought that this attack should succeed.
"Ding!"
Everyone was shocked to find that after Willen's rapier hit the opponent's body, sparks flew everywhere.
At this time, due to the falling rocks, smoke and dust, as well as the sudden attack, many people's torches had fallen to the ground, and the entire mine tunnel was dim. Most people could only see an unusually tall and burly human figure attacking them.
But Ryan, who had dark vision, immediately discovered that the opponent's body was made of some special rock structure. In terms of defense, it was even better than the crystal lizard just now.
No wonder, even if Willen's rapier hit, it was in vain.
At this time, the monster seemed to react and waved the huge stone mace in his hand at Willen.
"Be careful!!" Hamilton, who was in the middle of the team, shouted.
Just now, he turned his head and saw that two of his men were hit in the head by a hammer, and both were killed.
Now, even Willen was going to die at the hands of the other party, which made Hamilton a little furious!
Willen hurriedly retreated, but the speed of the mace was extremely fast. Seeing that the giant hammer was about to hit his head, Willen had closed his eyes in despair.
"It's over!"
"I will follow the footsteps of those two men!"
He didn't expect that the monster was huge, but its attack speed was not slow at all.
The monster swung the stone mace, as if it was an extension of his arm, faster than he imagined.
At this time, Ryan just rolled up on the ground and saw this scene, but he was too late to rescue Willen.
"Dang!!"
Willen only felt a deafening sound of metal clashing in his ears, but the next second he reacted and realized that he was not dead.
He suddenly opened his eyes and saw that it was his boss Hamilton. His arm muscles swelled violently, and he held a steel shield in front of him. But at this moment, Hamilton's cheeks were red and almost dripping blood. Obviously, he could not bear it any longer.
It turned out that just now, Hamilton saw that Willen was going to die under the opponent's stone hammer, and he broke through the limit in anger and directly knocked several people away. He rushed to Willen from the middle of the team and blocked the monster's attack between life and death!
"Go!" Hamilton roared.
The next second, Willen turned around and ran to the back with a red face. Obviously, because of his recklessness, his boss Hamilton had to choose to head off the monster's attack.
But it was obviously a very stupid behavior to compete with a three-meter-tall stone monster in strength.
Even if Hamilton was a formal knight, he couldn't bear it at full firepower.
This is a difference at the species level!
At this moment, Ryan keenly discovered that after resisting the monster's hammer, Hamilton's strong arms after breaking the limit kept shaking, and the steel shield had a deep dent.
If it weren't for the good quality and toughness, it would have cracked long ago!
The monster seemed surprised that this small thing in front of him could actually take his blow.
But soon, a trace of anger was revealed in the huge khaki eyes, and the opponent swung a hammer at Hamilton again from bottom to top!
"Pah!"
This time Hamilton couldn't bear it anymore. At the moment when the stone hammer hit the shield, he was like a cannonball, and was hit at high speed.
Then, with a "bang", it hit the stone rock wall hard!
At this time, the fire finally illuminated the monster's body.
‘Ugly bumpy rock surface’ ‘Humanoid creature’
Endry at the back of the team was immediately shocked and shouted: “This is the legendary rock monster!”
“What the hell, this thing was extinct hundreds of years ago, how could such a monster appear here!” Endry said in disbelief.
Then, his eyes revealed deep yearning, no, more precisely, greed.
Endry continued to shout: “Everyone be careful, the opponent is extremely powerful and covered with special rocks, don’t fight hard!”
“However, as long as you kill the opponent, you may get the ‘Heart of the Stone Monster’, which is a treasure worth a thousand gold!”
When talking about the words ‘Heart of the Stone Monster’ and ‘worth a thousand gold’, Endry’s voice was particularly high-pitched and excited, and there was a hint of bewitching.
When Ryan heard Endry say ‘Heart of the Stone Monster’, he immediately thought of the advanced potion that Hamilton mentioned to him last time.
Because the core of the advanced potion is the so-called "supernatural wonder".
A special item that many supernatural creatures, including ferocious beasts, have a certain probability of forming when they die.
This "wonder" can never be found in the bodies of supernatural creatures when they are still alive.
But once supernatural creatures die, their supernatural qualities may condense into "supernatural wonders", thus remaining and being priceless.
Obviously, the "heart of the stone monster" that Endry just mentioned should be this kind of "supernatural wonder".
And the three bounty hunters beside Ryan licked their cracked lips after hearing the words "worth a thousand gold", and a fiery light was revealed in their eyes.
The three of them exchanged glances in an instant and immediately decided to go.
Although this so-called rock digging monster is extremely powerful, it seems that its attack speed is not much faster than that of ordinary people, and their physical flexibility is much better than that of ordinary people, so it is no problem to dodge the opponent's attacks.
Rock body protection?
With axe, chisel and knife, they didn't believe they couldn't break the other party's rock body protection!
"Go!"
One of the bounty hunters looked fierce, kicked his toes, and rushed forward with a short-handled battle axe.
The other two looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and immediately followed and rushed over.
Ryan, who saw this scene, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"It's a perfect interpretation of what it means that people die for money and birds die for food!"
The bounty hunter who rushed to the front was really good. He was flexible and slid to the crotch of the digging rock monster.
Then, he swung the axe towards the rock crotch of the digging rock monster with extraordinary skill and chopped it hard!
"Dang!!!"
