Chapter 95 3.17 Battle with Hermit Crab

Among the 8 upgrade paths in Valhalla, the most mysterious one is the "Thor's Path".

The one who contributed this upgrade path is Odin's son, Thor. It is rumored that Thor is a free god who likes to travel around, especially wandering in the world as a mortal.

Therefore, if you want to obtain the Thor's Path, it is useless to enter Valhalla and drink the potion. Only by fighting a large group of enemies with real swords and guns can you get Thor's attention.

Old Gore succeeded in doing this. After experiencing the difficult defense of Hanshui Village and successfully surviving, he successfully attracted Thor's attention and became a Chosen One under the Thor's Path.

This was the first battle he faced after being promoted to the Chosen One. Facing the monster, he was not afraid at all, but raised his hammer and laughed! A thunderbolt struck from the dark clouds, and this thunderbolt accurately fell on Old Gore's hammer, forming a huge flashing arc!

The hermit crab has two vertical eyes standing outside the heavy armor. This beast, which was used to living in the polar night environment, was blinded by the sudden lightning and struggled desperately with its huge crab claws.

This gave Loki a short gap, allowing him to swim out of the cold sea water. Using his hands and feet, he climbed up the shore with difficulty, and a layer of snow-white ice shell immediately appeared on his skin.

This is the Arctic Circle, and the temperature here is as low as minus fifty degrees! He must move immediately, otherwise the wet clothes will take away all the heat in his body within a few minutes.

Running to the vicinity of the sled, the ship doctor Lawrence was about to release the holy light spell when the mountain-like building ship in the air was like a heavy hammer hitting several people.

"Dodge! Dodge!" Loki shouted. In a hurry, Lawrence temporarily interrupted the spell and used the holy light spell to illuminate the darkness. The two hurriedly looked for the gap between the wooden boards of the building ship to temporarily hide.

With a loud bang, the broken wooden boards mixed with ice and ice cones hit the tops of the two people's heads. However, at this moment, a wooden barrel fell from the broken gap of the ship and smashed beside Loki with a crash.

Turning around, it turned out to be a barrel of gunpowder.

In the 8th century AD, although guns and shells had not yet been invented, gunpowder had been used in many ways. Whether it was blasting mines or making fireworks, the Tang people were accustomed to carrying some gunpowder in the ship to deal with various emergencies. The "Lizhi" where several people lived yesterday, and even the commercial ship that the guard gave to Loki, had gunpowder.

And this flagship obviously had more.

(The ships under the Izumo Trading Company generally like to store gunpowder, fuel oil and other items in the dry cabin at the rear of the ship to prevent the gunpowder from getting damp, if the gunpowder can still be used)

According to Loki's memory of the "hermit crab" creature, their most vulnerable part is the soft body that must be hidden in the conch at all times. As the hermit crab grows, they must constantly replace the conch in exchange for a more suitable residence for body growth.

Running quickly to the vicinity of the sled, Loki raised the barrel of fuel they were carrying, and when the building ship fell again, he accurately poured it on the stern of the building ship.

"Brother Gore, thunder!"

The blinding time has passed, and the huge hermit crab is about to regain its sight. Old Gore was holding the hermit crab with a vertical pupil that was 3 meters high, but in this crisis, he still accurately understood Loki's meaning.

The Tang people's building ship was built entirely of wood. Although wood is flammable, it is impossible to ignite trees simply by fire or thunder in a cold environment of minus 50.

But if the fuel is poured on, the effect will be very different.

Once the fuel that can continue to burn when encountering fire heats the wood to a certain temperature, the entire wooden ship will immediately burn. And everything that followed perfectly witnessed the speculation of Loki and Gore.

The thunder struck, and a raging fire began to burn. The hermit crab just noticed the fire behind it, and before it had time to break the ice and get into the water, the fire had already detonated the gunpowder placed at the stern of the ship.

With a violent explosion of "bang", the burning wood fragments mixed with the pale blue flesh of the hermit crab burst out, and a blue blood smoke exploded in the dark night sky! The broken intestines and digestive organs flew in all directions and fell on Loki's head.

Along with the charred flesh and blood fragments, several skinny figures slid out of the intestinal fragments and fell beside him.

This

This turned out to be a "living sacrifice"!

Loki immediately understood where the living sacrifices in Xiao Lu's fleet had gone. Emma once mentioned that living sacrifices were a favorite food of the gods. Presumably, this hermit crab left over from ancient times had eaten several living sacrifices in the process of looking for food in the Arctic Circle.

From then on, the size of this beast became larger and stronger. It couldn't find a conch that was suitable for its size, so it could only use the huge building ship of the Tang people to hide the fragile back half of its body.

In order to achieve this goal, the beast must have killed all the people left by the fleet on the coast.

The tail was hit suddenly and severely, and the hermit crab let out a high-frequency painful howl. The beast that was injured but not dead was the most dangerous. The best way to deal with it at this time was undoubtedly to escape and wait for the beast to bleed to death.

But Loki couldn't escape because Old Gore was still holding the hermit crab's vertical eye tightly.

And the beast had recovered from the blindness caused by lightning.

The burning hull scattered around temporarily dispelled the coldness around. Loki raised the axe behind him and rushed towards the hermit crab with a roar. The explosion of the hull completely shattered the body of the hermit crab hidden inside the ship. The light blue blood of the hermit crab poured all over him, making him feel like he was in a blood mist environment.

At this time, after the blood axe in his hand absorbed the blue blood of the hermit crab, it also absorbed the blood containing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the axe surface!

The familiar rhythm of the heartbeat appeared again, and Loki quickly approached the hermit crab while stepping on the floating ice and jumping left and right. The hermit crab obviously saw the bug rushing towards him, and raised its huge crab claws to smash Loki.

"Brother Gore, take this opportunity to run!"

Roaring this last sentence, Loki raised his axe and continued to charge at the hermit crab. He ignored the giant claw that fell from mid-air. That was the hardest part of the hermit crab's body.

He couldn't split it at all.

His target was the head below the eyes of the hermit crab.

The giant claw fell, but this time, Loki's broad axe hooked the spikes on the claw. Climbing up the claw, he ran at full speed! The blue blood falling on his body provided him with sufficient spiritual energy, and at this time he could actually turn into a phantom without substance, just like in the blood mist.

Loki approached the huge head at a very fast speed. The soft reef rolled towards him, but in the phantom state, Loki's figure was like air and could not be hit at all.

The distance of 50 meters passed in a flash, and behind the claws were the eyes and head of the hermit crab.

Loki jumped up from the end of the claw! In mid-air, he bent his body into an arc, which was the battle memory passed down from the Viking ancestors' battle with the ancient giants thousands of years ago. When holding the axe high, the body can be bent into a curved bowstring to maximize the power of the core area of ​​the waist and abdomen, and the stone axe that fully absorbed the blood of the hermit crab is almost indestructible!

The blood-red stone axe cleanly broke the shell between the eyes of the hermit crab, and Loki plunged into the wound spurting light blue blood with the axe.

Crabs rely on a hard shell to resist external enemies. Once the shell is broken, there is some tender soft meat inside. Loki stepped on the unknown flesh and blood tissue and swung the axe left and right. The blood-red stone axe became sharper after fully absorbing more flesh and blood.

At the same time, the light blue blood of the hermit crab was slowly rising around Loki.

Swinging the stone axe, more and more blue blood with rich spiritual energy was sucked into Loki's body through the stone axe. His whole body continuously produces inexhaustible violent power!

The blood axe flew, and the hermit crab struggled slower and slower. After almost the entire brain was turned into meat paste by Loki, the huge crab finally stopped moving.
