Chapter 48 The Troll

Seeing the crazy behavior of this monster, all the young people in the woods were shocked. Only the old dwarf Flint remained unchanged, and suddenly let out a thunderous roar, his long beard fluttered like a raging flame, and his short and sturdy body seemed to swell out of thin air.

The fighting spirit erupted like a tidal wave breaking a bank, and the old dwarf unleashed all the potential in his body, and his ferocious aura instantly overwhelmed the opposite troll, who was almost twice his height, and swung his shield vigorously while stepping forward.

boom! The large stainless steel shield engraved with the family crest of the Anvil clan hit the troll's abdomen heavily, with such force that the troll bowed his waist and held his stomach, retching in pain, and his already crooked body was curled up like a lobster at this moment. .

The old dwarf threw down his shield resolutely, strided forward holding the hammer in both hands, and swung four hammers one after another with the momentum of the charge.

boom! boom! boom! boom! The four heavy hammers hit the troll almost at the same time, smashing the monster's chest to pieces. Every time the troll was hit by the war hammer, he staggered and took a step back. After suffering four consecutive blows, he finally couldn't hold on, and fell on his back on the grass.

The ferocious attack just now exhausted Flint Anvil's stamina. After knocking down the troll, he couldn't help coughing, his face flushed sickly, but his eyes were still fixed on the troll lying on his back struggling on the ground .

The troll lay moaning and cursing on the grass, his sternum cracked and caved in by the hammer, his entrails shattered into a puddle of slime. If other creatures had suffered such severe injuries, they would have died long ago, but the troll is not only alive, but the wounds are also healing at an astonishing speed. If this momentum continues, in a minute at most, this monster that seems to have an immortal body will die. Can get up intact and go into battle again.

Joan stood on the tree, condescendingly witnessed the scene of the troll coming back to life, and immediately remembered that a book described this monster with super vitality. Only strong acid and flames can restrain this monster's perverted regenerative physique. He was about to tell the trick to deal with the troll, but the old dwarf, who was well-informed, gave the order first: "Children, bring a torch, only the flame can completely destroy this loathsome troll!"

"Let me do it!" Kanti jumped down from the tree more than ten feet above the ground, quickly made a spell-casting gesture, and chanted the divine spell prayer, and a ball of scorching flames rose from his palm.

Kandy held up the magic flame created by the "burning fire technique" and walked up to the old dwarf, turned his palm and pressed down, the flame flew out of his hand, igniting the troll who was trying to get up.

The troll's dark green skin is like dry bark, and it burns immediately when it touches the flame. With a horrified scream, the monster ran towards the lake, trying to extinguish the growing flames by jumping into the water.

"Lie down obediently!" Flint threw out the magic hammer vigorously. The whistling hammer hit the troll's knee, breaking the monster's right leg and throwing it to the ground. This time the troll couldn't get up again, and surrounded by the fire, it made a crackling sound similar to that of dry wood burning, emitting a disgusting burnt smell.

Joan came down from the tree and ran to Flint. The young mage stood side by side with the old dwarf, watching the troll still groaning and convulsing in the fire, feeling a chill in his heart.

Brothers Candy, Tom and Tyndale also gathered around one after another, watching the bonfire with troll flesh as firewood silently until the bonfire was extinguished.

Conti stretched out the oak stick, and tentatively poked the scorched body. There was a muffled "pop" sound from the end of the stick, and the charred corpse shattered, turning into a pile of ashes.

"Okay, it's impossible for this monster to be resurrected now." Conti said with a sigh of relief. The people around also breathed a sigh of relief.

Flint held up his horned helmet, and ordered everyone to form a group and search around the lake. If a large group of water ghosts or other monsters were found, they would whistle and call the police, and the other groups would rush to the location where the alarm came.

The Tyndall brothers formed a group, with Sissy as the sentinel, Flint and Tom and his nephew as a group, Jerry led the way, Joan and Candy formed a group, and Jamie, who had a keen sense of smell, led the way. The three groups went on the road at the same time, and scouted on foot along the misty "Unfrozen Lake". Nothing unusual was found on the way. It seems that the water ghosts entrenched by the lake have been eliminated in the battle just now, and there is no second troll. Or will-o'-the-wisps lurking in the area.

Joan and Kandy returned to the assembly point first. Kandy walked to the lake, picked up a handful of water, and couldn't help admiring: "It's so warm, I really want to take a bath in this hot spring."

Joan made no sound. Thinking that this hot spring was once occupied by foul-smelling water ghosts, he thought it best for Conti to give up the idea of ​​taking a bath.

Jamie didn't dislike it, and jumped into the hot spring happily, and even caught a big fish, and enjoyed a delicious supper. Looking at the fish, Joan had to admire its tenacious vitality.

Not long after, the other two groups also returned to the assembly point. The Tyndale brothers didn't find the enemy. Flint and Tom caught a wounded water ghost by the lake, and before the opponent jumped into the lake, they smashed it to death with two hammers, completely ending the short-term rule of the water ghost family on the ice-free lake. .

Conti found that Nick and brother were not with them, so she asked Tom where the two had gone.

"Sissy took her brother back to the lake, and said that she wanted to get back the treasure they had hidden at the bottom of the lake and give it to us as a thank you." Tom said expectantly.

"Will they really come back?" Roger muttered to himself. "If they dive to the bottom of the lake and don't show up again, there's nothing we can do about them."

Dick gave his younger brother a contemptuous look, and said angrily, "You're the only one with a lot of thought! Jerry and Sissy aren't the kind of ungrateful people!"

Roger shrugged, no longer defending.

Everyone set up a bonfire by the lake, picked up the water and dry food they carried with them, and had a simple late dinner. It was almost midnight at this time, and Flint directed the young people to set up tents and arrange a round of vigils. He and Jamie were responsible for the first half of the night, so that the exhausted children could sleep peacefully.

Just as everyone was going to bed, there was the sound of rushing water from the lake, and Sissy and Jerry surfaced immediately, their wet green hair shining in the silver moonlight.

The two siblings laughed and swam to the shore, returned to the crowd, and sat down around the campfire.

Sissy held two boxes made of red coral in her hands, and when she opened the larger one, everyone was immediately dazzled by the jewels. In the box were six round and beautiful pearls, each as big as a pigeon's egg.

Sissy took out the pearls and presented them to Joan, Candy, the Tyndale brothers, Flint and Tom one by one.
