Qin Lun stopped at the same spot, looking at the direction where Jianhao Beast and Cassie disappeared, his eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking. It wasn't until Cassie's cries for help became inaudible that he turned around and ran back to the hill giant's lair without hesitation.
"Hill, how is your progress going?" Qin Lun asked in the team channel while speeding.
"Hansen is leading the big guy towards the ambush circle, and the young giant really failed to keep up. However, you have to be careful, there is a slight deviation from the original plan. When we arrived at the lair, the big guy seemed to be alarmed in advance!" Hill said calmly.
"Well, I see!" Qin Lun estimated the time and quickened his pace.
The mountain giant's hillside lair soon came into view again, and Qin Lun carefully approached the open space in front of the cave under the cover of trees. At this time, in the open space of the cave, there was a bloated little giant sitting cross-legged on the ground, hanging his head in frustration.
There was a large bleeding swelling on the forehead of the young hill giant, which seemed to be hit just now. Perhaps it was because his child was hurt that the adult hill giant was furious and chased after Hansen and the others. But the young hill giant had poor legs, so after chasing for a while, he was probably pulled behind and had no choice but to return to the lair.
At the little giant's feet was a thick animal femur bone. The end of the bone was covered with soft fur, and a sharp stone was tied to the front end with vines. It was made into a crude stone axe. The little giant didn't seem to be in a very high mood, he was viciously gnawing on a ball of bacon wrapped in fresh leaves.
"Hehe, he actually knows how to mix vegetables. It's a burger or a sandwich!" Qin Lun smiled lightly. It seemed that the hill giant's intelligence was as high as that described in the information!
The hill giant looks ugly in appearance, with arms above the knees and a high spine. It is born with a hunchback. Their foreheads are raised high, their skulls are pointed, their eye sockets are sunken, and their brains are out of proportion to their bodies. They look a bit like macaques.
The hill giants living in the jungle have taupe skin and sparse hair, mostly brown or black. The jungle-dwelling hill giants are smaller among the giants. Adult giants are 14-16 feet and weigh between 4500-5500 pounds. In conversion, it is five meters high and weighs two tons.
According to intelligence, the little giant in front of Qin Lun was under ten years old, and his intelligence was about the same as that of a two- or three-year-old child. It stands about 2.56 meters tall, but under the careful care of its mother, this little giant is well nourished. It has a thick head and a thick body, a fat body, and a protruding belly like a ball.
The hillside cave of the hill giant is about ten kilometers away from the camp, which is considered to be a relatively close nest of high-level creatures. The reason why the pair of hill giants have not been hunted down by the camp members until now is largely because everyone is unwilling to do it.
The high-ranking powerhouses in the camp were unwilling to do anything because the gain outweighed the loss. The hill giant has no magic ability, and there is no magic core formed by the condensed magic elements in his body. Bones and skins are used to make equipment, which is not as good as the fifth-level Howling Wolf and the fourth-level Shaggy Bear.
What's more, the hill giant has high intelligence and never disturbs the shelter camp. Some high-ranking powerhouses sometimes hire them to do some physical work, and they don't have to be killed.
The most important thing is that the hill giant believes in all the gods of the forest and the earth, and Anna Artemis of the Silent Forest is one of the gods they believe in.
Although Anna Artemis will not interfere with the hunting of the hill giant, she has given the hill giant a powerful magic immunity. As long as it is in the Silent Forest area, except for the forbidden spell, even the twelfth-level magic is just tickling the hill giant.
You can't use magic, and it's no good to sweat to kill the giant, and you have to risk offending the forest goddess. In this way, any high-ranking strongman in the camp would have nothing to do when he was full and went to trouble the hill giant.
As for the apostle team, quite a few people in the camp wanted to try to kill the pair of giant mother and son. Even with a weak team like Qin Lun, as long as the giant is lured into the trap and the location is favorable and the people are harmonious, there is a certain chance that the mountain giant can be crushed to death.
However, the reality is that, so far, no team or individual has really succeeded.
Adult hill giants are not low in intelligence, at least at the level of thirteen or fourteen-year-old human teenagers, and they are very familiar with the terrain in this area. If it weren't for the well-designed series of traps, the hill giant wouldn't have been fooled at all, and he might have trapped himself in it.
Another problem is that no matter what the hill giant is, it is also an eighth-order creature. Although he has no magical ability, he has infinite strength, thick skin and thick flesh, and has incredible tenacity and vitality.
It takes a long time to kill it. You must know that its magic immunity ability is not only for high-level powerhouses in the inner world, the magic skills that apostles can use in the inner world are also in this category.
With such a long consumption, many problems will arise if you want to hunt the hill giant. For example: other apostle teams who heard the news, other high-level predators in the jungle...
Therefore, to plan to kill the hill giant, only one black iron team is not enough, at least the close cooperation of two teams is required. One team is responsible for the hunting mission, and the other team is responsible for blocking those voyeurs who hear the news and move with malicious intentions.
Because of this, Cora subconsciously noticed that something was wrong with the team's plan, and became suspicious of the plan of the three murderers.
It's a pity, because the three murderers showed good team spirit and fair distribution of benefits in the previous Crystal Lake mission. Let her hesitate in the contradiction and lose the final opportunity to choose.
In fact, in the plan of the three killers, hunting the adult hill giant is just a preliminary step, and the real plan will not be entered until other variables appear in this step. Of course, in addition to introducing variables, this pre-step also has a small real goal, which is to create opportunities for Qin Lun to hunt and kill Xiaoshan.
In this pre-step, only Qin Lun's side cannot fail. On the other side, except for the Sass couple who were kept in the dark, and Frank who had already completed the trial mission, Hill and Hansen were already mentally prepared to fail the main mission.
After going through the whole plan in his mind again, Qin Lun put away his disguise, and slowly showed indifference on his face. He lowered his body, rushed out from his hiding place, and rushed towards the young hill giant sitting cross-legged in the open space.
"Oh..." Seeing a creature rushing towards him in the woods, the young hill was slightly taken aback, and immediately reacted as a natural thing for jungle creatures.
It uses both hands and feet, its obese body crawls up, grabs the stone ax at its feet with one hand, squats and jumps, and its huge body leaps into the air. Juvenile Hill's jump easily exceeded a height of five meters, and there was a loud "bang" when it landed, and the ground of the entire open space trembled.
This is the main reason why the hill giant is as high as the eighth step. The powerful legs endow it with extraordinary jumping power, and an adult hill giant can even cross a height of twenty meters.
Just imagine, how big a trap would need to be dug to trap a hill giant with a height of five meters, an arm length of three meters, and a jumping ability of more than twenty meters. It can be said that there is almost no way to trap an adult hill giant except for using a series of traps to severely injure the hill giant's legs first.
As for using arrows and other long-range physical attacks to kite off adult hill giants, that's even more of a joke.
There are trees everywhere in the forest, and the hill giant is so powerful that it can easily pull up a tree as thick as an adult thigh. You use bows and arrows, it uses big trees. An arrow in it is like being bitten by a mosquito, you are hit by a big tree, and you become a meatloaf directly, how can you play this.
Feeling the shock under his feet, Qin Lun didn't even look at the young giant who jumped aside. He rushed straight in front of it and flew towards the cave at the end of the clearing.
Since Qin Lun dared to kill the young giant alone, of course he had done his homework beforehand.
According to Hill and Qin Lun's analysis, although the juvenile hill is only at the sixth level, and its intelligence and jumping ability are far inferior to that of the adult hill, it is almost impossible to kill the juvenile hill alone in an open field Task. What's more, they must also consider that as time goes on, the adult hill giants may abandon Hill and the others and return to their lair.
Therefore, Qin Lun set the battlefield in the mountain giant's lair, inside the cave on the hillside.
The interior space of the hillside cave is limited, which basically limits the jumping ability of the small hill. And there is an additional benefit of doing this, the enraged young hill will not escape easily, and will inevitably fight Qin Lun to the death in order to protect the lair.
Of course, the narrow cave also limited Qin Lun's dodging space, but he has a Hellfire Demon Dog with the same rough skin and thick flesh as a meat shield, so he is not afraid of having a close contact with the young hill.
"Wow wow wow!" Seeing Qin Lun rushing towards the lair, Juvenile Hill was really furious, and chased after him twisting his fat buttocks.
Qin Lun's indifferent face was calm, and the moment he rushed into the cave entrance, he flicked his right finger, and several objects as small as broad beans were scattered in front of him, and then he was trampled into the dark brown soil by his cowhide military boots.
The cave where the hill giants lived was a little too spacious for humans. The cave is about six meters high, seven meters wide, and more than ten meters deep. The innermost part is covered with a thick layer of dry grass and dead leaves.
The Giant's Cavern was even more foul-smelling than the clearing outside, not only stinking of rotting flesh, but also of disgusting feces. There are several relatively complete wreckages in the corners around the cave, and they look like human skeletons.
It is estimated that some camp newcomers who troubled the hill giant before, maybe they are the last batch of apostles who entered the world of Narsli.
