Chapter 214 5.6 Jotunheim
Asgard is a perfect world.
The twin suns bring warm golden sunshine, golden plants grow all over the ground, and even this sweet smell floats in the air.
But "Jotunheim" is a completely different frozen hell.
According to records in Norse mythology, the ancestor giant "Ymir" led an army of giants to fight against the "Aesir" and was unfortunately defeated. Some giants were exiled to the "frozen land" Jotunheim, where their bodies were transformed by thousands of years of ice, turning into frost giants whose bodies were covered with ice and snow and could adapt to the harsh winter climate.
The other part, led by the witch "Gaowige", entered the land of fire "Muspelheim" and evolved into a more violent and moody fire giant.
Frost giants and fire giants are necessary materials for making potions. Low-level potions require giant hair, nails and other materials that are "certainly obtained after hunting". But after upgrading to Sequence 7, even if you simply configure a bottle of magic potion, a giant would not be able to assemble the required materials.
At this time, there are Slavs in the Slav hunting team who have been promoted to Sequence 6 under the "Mountain Giant" path.
When configuring the Sequence 6 "Crystal Giant" potion, one bottle of potion requires 10 "Giant's Eyeballs".
This kind of workload is really difficult for a Slavic hunting team with only 30 people.
It is precisely because of this that "Greedy Wolf" Gulaur came to discuss cooperation with Loki. On Loki's side, he really couldn't catch the golden-winged elk needed to configure the berserker potion. The two parties only briefly finalized the deal, exchanging 10 eyeballs for 10 bottles of deer blood.
I have to say that this transaction was a bit of a loss.
When the elevator stopped running and the golden door reopened, the cold wind that hit his face immediately made him almost unable to stand upright. Tightening the bearskin tightly, he led more than a hundred hunters behind him into this hell of ice that was always deep blue.
There is no sky in Jotunheim.
After walking out of the lift, several people appeared in an ice cave.
A huge ice cave with endless ice on its front, back, left and right. Outside the cave entrance where several people appeared, a dozen giants tens of meters tall were carrying the stone wall above the cave on their backs.
They stood staggered, their bodies already decayed into rocks. But even so, their expressions are still lifelike, and to this day, you can still see the great pain they suffered when they were exiled to this desperate place from their facial expressions.
"Dong dong dong"
The Viking hunting team had just set foot on this frozen land, and the sound of heavy objects running violently in Shandong in the distance could already be heard.
"Brothers, raise your bucklers and form a defensive formation!"
"The mindless giant has smelled our scent and started charging towards us!"
"Remember, this is not the first time we have fought these things! These giants have no weapons in their hands. If they are caught, their only attack is to stuff you into their mouths! Just find the right opportunity and stuff the buckler first If you go in and deck his mouth, he won’t be able to swallow you!”
"Look for an opportunity to chop their necks! This thing is just like humans, it will die if its head falls off!"
"They're coming, get ready to fight!"
**
Loki pulled out the blood ax, held it with both hands, and stood at the front of the team.
Although the illusions of the seven major divine realms behind the portal are different, they all contain extremely abundant spiritual energy. The stone blood ax here can directly absorb the spiritual energy floating in the air and become extremely sharp.
Facing the dozen giants running towards him, Loki roared and jumped up. The blood ax in his hand slashed directly at the charging giant's head, splitting his skull open with one axe!
However, the following giants had already swarmed up. They stretched out their big hands to grab the Viking pirates on the ground. All the pirates showed no fear, raised their bucklers and took advantage of the gap in defense, and slashed their axes at their knees.
After more than two months of fighting, they found that this wandering giant without intelligence was not difficult to deal with.
"Hunters, prepare to release the rope!"
Behind him, several herdsmen who were good at roping horses threw their lassoes. Seven or eight giants were hit, and the strong Viking men pulled hard together. The giants lost their balance and were all knocked down!
Then, a group of berserker warriors headed by Sartre swarmed forward with giant decapitating axes on their shoulders. They skillfully chopped into pieces the giants' legs and hand joints. Finally, they brought out a five-meter long saw and began to cut off their heads. .
"Don't forget to cut off all their palms and hearts! These raw materials are needed to configure the Valkyrie and Berserker with frost attributes!
Be more agile in your movements, you are risking your life for this, so don’t waste any more! "
Loki cut down at least 5 giants with his own strength. This kind of mindless giant that appears outside the cave and looks like a walking zombie is the weakest monster in Jotunheim. At this time, they had created a lot of blood, and they had to be more energetic when collecting the trophies from the giant next.
Because various frost beasts will appear immediately after smelling blood.
"The shield axemen continue to line up, and the matters of cutting the heads and collecting materials are left to the hunters. We must brace ourselves, because the second wave of attacks is likely to be coming soon!"
Just one minute later, a low roar came from the entrance of the cave. Five pairs of light blue eyeballs opened. They were five giant white wolves that were not much smaller than the giants. Loki raised his ax again and stood directly in front of the team.
In the past two months, his team suffered casualties every time they faced this kind of giant wolf. The most casualties in one battle were 12 people!
"Be careful, they are coming!"
The hunters hurried to collect. For fighting with giant wolves, Loki's strategy is to "avoid fighting as much as possible."
The materials on this kind of giant wolf can only be used for mid-level potions. At this time, the hunting team has not even equipped low-level potions. Therefore, they don't need to waste manpower on giant wolves.
Several strong shield axemen behind him hurriedly threw the giant corpses that had been collected. The giant wolves smelled the flesh and blood with the smell of psychic energy, jumped up and ate with relish.
Their noses can accurately smell the difference between mortals and the chosen ones. Almost everyone behind Loki is a mortal, and the sequence level of a few chosen ones is not high.
As the primary intelligent creatures outside Jotunheim. Not to mention eating, the giant wolves don't even have the urge to smell them.
One corpse after another was thrown over. The well-fed giant wolf looked at the ordinary mortals for a few times, but didn't say anything to them in the end. Instead, it raised its neck and howled a few times, and then retreated.
Loki looked at the faint cold light in this cold cave. A faint doubt arose in his heart. In the past two months, every time they walked out of the portal, they would face a wave of giant attacks at the same place. And every time they harvested a wave of giants, they took the materials and ran away immediately.
He had never passed through this cave supported by the shoulders of the frozen giants.
What would be in the next room?
Unable to suppress the doubts in his heart, he picked up the axe and walked slowly forward along the giant wolf's footprints.
