After finding out the truth about the green dragon, Wayne used language guidance to obtain the task of killing the giant from George.
However, what he didn't expect was that killing this powerful giant was only an expert-level task.
It seems that his system is quite intelligent. It knows that this giant has almost no ability to resist and will not let him take shortcuts to complete high-level tasks.
However, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.
Under the pretext of practice, he got the opportunity to kill the giant from George. He took the refined steel sword given to him by Vesemir, stood on top of the giant's head, aimed at his eye socket, and stabbed it hard.
This position is undoubtedly the fatal weakness of any flesh and blood creature. Even the unconscious giant seemed to have reacted. After being stabbed in the eye socket, he began to struggle violently with his whole body, shaking his head, and almost knocked Wayne off his head.
But Wayne was no pushover. Seeing this, he immediately used his feet to stabilize his body and began to vigorously stir the steel sword in his hand, directly crushing the brain tissue behind the giant's eye sockets into pieces.
Only then did the giant suffer a truly fatal injury. He soon stopped struggling and lost his breath.
"Very good, Wayne. For large monsters like giants, ordinary physical injuries are not fatal to them. Only when you attack their brains, eyes, throats, or anus and genitals, can you cause them enough damage."
George held a steel sword in his hand and instructed Wayne on how to deal with large monsters. He also explained to Wayne what organs and tissues were in the giant's body and their uses.
Ding! [Kill the Giant] Mission Completed.
Obtain: Expert-level treasure chest, 32 experience points.
Hearing the rare reward prompted by the system in his mind, Wayne sighed softly in his heart.
Just when he was feeling a little frustrated, George suddenly shouted in surprise: "Hey, I didn't expect that there is a red mutation inducer in this giant's body, and it's a super-large one."
Red mutagen? Upon hearing this term, Wayne was stunned at first, but soon showed an interested look.
The chance of a mutagen occurring is very small, and the more powerful the monster, the more likely it is to be generated in the body, but overall it is very difficult to obtain.
To use a popular metaphor, they are like dog treasures, cow treasures, and sheep treasures among medicinal materials. They have very high nutritional value and special effects. Combined with special prescriptions, they can be used to make powerful decoctions or other uses. Even in the demon hunter industry, they are a very rare resource.
George from the Griffin School was a very upright guy. After finding this rare red mutagen, he gave it to Wayne without a second thought and said, "Wayne, you probably haven't used this mutagen before. When you go back, you can bring it to your Grand Master and let him teach you how to use it."
"Generally speaking, the first time this kind of mutation-inducing substance is used, it will bring a significant improvement to the demon hunter's body."
"Each school has different methods of use. Your Wolf School should have some as well."
Wayne did not refuse and accepted the item generously. He planned to ask Vesemir to teach him how to use it when he returned to Kaer Morhen this year.
"Thank you, George. I'll put this to good use."
George waved his hand and said with some emotion:
"I am also somewhat relieved to see the Wolf School emerge with such an outstanding successor like you."
"I just don't know if our Griffin School will have the opportunity to pass on this heritage in the future."
The inheritance of the demon hunter is always a very heavy topic. The two chatted for a few words and quickly calmed down.
After dealing with the possible hidden danger of the giant, Wayne immediately called Borch and George, who were already a little anxious, to explore the nest left by the giant to see if they could find the baby dragon in the green dragon's mouth.
This giant should be the overlord of the valley, and those human-faced monster birds might be the subordinates trained by this giant. After killing these two waves of enemies, Wayne, George and Borch had a smooth journey to the giant's lair without encountering any enemies that resisted them.
They moved forward and soon arrived at the entrance of the huge nest at the foot of the mountain. However, before they entered, the smell of rotten meat mixed with feces hit them in the face. Coupled with the witcher's keen senses, the feeling could be said to be very sour.
Even George, who had been through many battles, couldn't help but complain:
"You know, Wayne, the Giant's Lair is one of the places I hate to go to the most."
"These creatures have no sense of smell at all. Their method of dealing with parasites is the same as that of wild boars. They use special materials formed by mud, grease, and rotten meat to cover their entire bodies, forming a set of hard natural armor. That's why their defense is so amazing."
"I bet that after putting on this armor, most giants may never take a bath in their lives."
Upon hearing this, Wayne nodded in agreement. To be honest, the smell did make him very uncomfortable. Master Wayne, who had basically never lived a hard life and spent most of his time in Vizima City, found it difficult to adapt to this unpleasant smell.
The following exploration journey almost became Wayne's nightmare.
The habits of giants are different from those of dragons. They have no preference for shiny things. In fact, because they are born without a sense of smell, they prefer dirty and messy environments.
As we all know, wild animals have no concept of toilets. Since they have no toilets, toilets are everywhere.
So, with the help of the not-so-bright torchlight, the three of them moved forward all the way. The air was filled with an extremely strong stench, and the ground, walls and other places were covered with indescribable rotting corpses, rotten flesh and feces, which made Wayne almost want to turn around and run.
For ordinary people, not only will they not find any useful loot in the giant's lair, but they may even contract certain diseases due to the dirty environment.
Fortunately, their hard work paid off. After they searched hard for half an hour in this cesspool-like environment, they finally found the little thing tied up by vines in a sewage pool.
This is a green dragon cub about three or four years old, and its body has grown to the size of a foal. Its whole body has been tied up into a ball by vines and thrown into a mud pit full of sewage and feces. Half of its body is soaked in the sewage, and it can only raise its head and let out childish cries towards the three people holding torches.
Upon seeing this, Borch seemed to be immediately melted by the cry. He ignored the filth in the pool water, pulled out a knife, and walked towards the location of the green dragon cub.
At the same time, he used dragon language to comfort the lost and helpless little dragon.
While Borch was rescuing the baby dragon, Wayne told George his thoughts on the matter.
"George, there must be a mastermind behind this."
"It was he who kidnapped the young dragon and transported him all the way here, hiding him in the giant's lair, causing the battle between the green dragon and the giant."
"If it's just for stealing the baby dragon, or for wealth or something like that, there's no need to go through so much trouble."
"There is no need to reveal the news to the Green Dragon and let him set fire to Valen Village."
George stroked his mustache, thought for more than ten seconds, nodded in agreement, and said:
"Indeed, according to Mr. Borch's explanation, this green dragon has lived in Weiren for many years. All these years were peaceful, and it was only in the past two years that news of him hurting people came out. It is very likely that someone deliberately provoked him."
Wayne roughly guessed who was the mastermind behind the scenes. Anyway, in the area of Velen, no matter what the blame was, you could put it on the Lady of the Forest. Although this group of old monsters maintained the most basic order and helped some villagers, they were not good people at all. The price they demanded was much more than what they paid.
So, after thinking for more than ten seconds, Wayne told George some information he knew about the Lady of the Woods.
Then he said, "These monsters that have survived from ancient times are extremely well hidden. Ordinary methods cannot find them at all. Moreover, these three sisters can use various spells, curses, and summon other monsters. They have spies and followers throughout the Velen area."
"It may be difficult to deal with them."
George was not afraid or flinched when he heard this, and he spoke directly:
"As demon hunters, how can we be afraid of difficulties and dangers?"
"Since they are all evil, no matter how much effort or time it takes, I will find them, kill them, and fight to protect the people here."
Although Wayne did not agree with this kind of unreasonable dedication, he still silently gave a thumbs up to the existence of such good people in the world.
Soon, Borch finally rescued the little dragon. He pulled the little dragon covered in filth out of the mud, whispered to comfort her in dragon language, and also told her the news of her father's death.
Although the little thing was very sad, she was still too young and did not have any direct feelings about the death of her loved one.
Finally, after Borzi's repeated persuasion, the two dragons finally reached an agreement. He told Wayne that he would adopt the female dragon named Celia and bring her to Zerekan to raise her with Sakia.
With such a little dragon in tow, it was already difficult for Borch to travel with Wayne and the others, so after expressing his gratitude to Wayne, he also said goodbye.
As for the remains of the male green dragon, Borch said that it was Wayne and George's trophy and he would not interfere.
After the two men and two dragons walked out of the giant's lair, they found a clean water source and washed away the filth on their bodies.
As Wayne and George watched, the golden dragon Bolch picked up the little dragon Celia in his claws, flapped his wings and flew, and soon disappeared into the blue sky.
The two demon hunters who were left behind looked at the huge green dragon's corpse and fell into a kind of happy distress.
How should they get this valuable green dragon corpse back? (End of this chapter)
