Chapter 406 Two-Headed Ogre
The tall trees are connected together, blocking the sunlight from above, making the surroundings a bit eerie, but not completely dark.
In the forest full of dead branches and leaves, a pair of huge feet stepped over, and an ogre carrying a log mallet wandered swaggeringly.
Not far away, among the treetops.
A shadow crow stood quietly on the branch, its dark eyes staring down. As the ogre continued to approach, it spread its wings and flew into the sky.
"...Blackbird?"
The ogre raised his head, with a foolish expression on his face, raised his rough palm, and grabbed the shadow crow.
In the eyes of the ogre.
Shadow crow = bird meat = food.
Ogres with huge stomachs are hungry most of the time, so when they see any food, their first reaction is to stuff it into their mouths.
However, the next moment.
Not far away, a shadow appeared in vain, like a sickle, it passed through the air and passed through the ogre's neck in an instant, and a head immediately rolled off.
Plop!
The headless corpse of the ogre slowly fell to the ground. Even though it is known for its strong physique, the ogre will inevitably die after losing its head.
"The fourteenth one!"
Not far away, Enzo walked out slowly, his footsteps stepping on dead branches and leaves, making a slight sound. He looked at the headless ogre corpse on the ground and whispered.
Within half a day, this was the fourteenth ogre hunted by Enzo.
As a dark creature, the adult ogre can compete with the great knight based on its physical combat power alone, but it is not worth mentioning in front of Enzo.
Only those elite ogres who have reached the first level of life form can attract Enzo's attention, but only slightly.
A second-level wizard would not be in any danger in the Weeping Forest as long as he did not encounter the two-headed ogre chief or be besieged by a large number of ogres.
What's more, Enzo is not an ordinary second-level wizard!
…
Weeping forest, deep.
The dark woods were filled with the smell of blood, and several ogre corpses were piled up everywhere, which looked a bit scary.
Next to it, the two-headed ogre stood there.
The expression on the right side of its head was furious, and it kept making roars of unknown meaning, while the face on the left side of the head was as gloomy as water, looking at the corpses of the ogres, with a cold luster in its eyes.
Behind the two-headed ogre were a dozen ordinary ogres. They all looked extremely angry after discovering the corpses of their companions.
The Weeping Forest is the territory of the ogres, but it is invaded at this moment. Several corpses of the same kind are undoubtedly a provocation to the ogres.
"Damn intruder, Magu will smash his head!" The two-headed ogre waved a huge mallet on the right side of his head and let out an angry roar.
"Shut up, you idiot!"
Maka scolded in a low voice, looked at the ogre corpse on the ground, a glimmer of thought appeared in her eyes, and murmured, ": Divine power, is that intruder coming for me?"
Afterwards, Maka came to the pile of ogre corpses and began to inspect them.
"The damage caused by the spell is caused by the wizard!"
Maka's eyes flashed, and through the wounds on the ogre corpses, she quickly analyzed the cause of their death.
"The opponent has divinity, but is not strong!"
"At least I'm not at the level of a demigod, otherwise I wouldn't need to use these little tricks. If you want to plunder divinity, just attack me directly!"
"A wizard who possesses divinity but does not reach the level of demigod..."
The two-headed ogre stood up, a strange smile appeared on Maka's ugly face, a faint glint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he whispered.
"A prey that comes to your door?"
"Very good! Ever since I was injured by that damn skeleton a hundred years ago, the killing mark in my body has been in a weak state. If I can absorb a stream of divinity this time, maybe I can reawaken its power! "
After analyzing the identity of the intruder, the anger on Maka's face disappeared and was replaced by an expression of excitement. As the wisdom in the two heads of the two-headed ogre, it is very aware of the mutual predatory characteristics between divinities.
Therefore, I also understood the intruder’s intention in a moment!
"Are you planning to kill some ogres first to consume my strength, and then take action later?" Maka licked her lips and murmured, "In this case, I will not let your plan succeed!"
Then, the two-headed ogre turned around.
Maka looked at the ordinary ogres and said, "From now on, all ogres will move in groups of ten. If they find an intruder, they will immediately roar to warn!"
"Do you understand? Idiots!"
Below, the ogres looked at each other. Although it was a very simple command, their simple brains were still unable to understand it.
"……Damn it!"
Maka cursed in a low voice, and then issued the order repeatedly. It took a lot of effort to make the ogres understand the meaning of a group of ten.
…
"A group of ten?"
At the same time, in another part of the Weeping Forest, Enzo was hiding next to a giant tree, using the shadow crow to monitor the forest, always watching the movements of the two-headed ogre.
"As expected of an intelligent creature, quite smart!"
Enzo's eyes flickered and the corners of his lips were raised slightly. After the two-headed ogre's order is given, the ogres in the Weeping Forest will move in groups of ten.
In this case, the difficulty of Enzo's hunting will be greatly increased. Although ten ogres are still vulnerable to him, if the ogres roar loudly during the hunting process, they will inevitably attract the two-headed ogres. The devil's attention.
The two-headed ogre has magical abilities, and as the ogre chief, it can command more than a hundred ogres in the Weeping Forest at will.
With a massive ogre siege and a two-headed ogre with unknown abilities, even Enzo may be in danger.
Fortunately, Enzo was not unprepared.
Using the vision arranged by the shadow crow, Enzo has the ability to control the dynamics of the forest at all times. Although the ogres have environmental and numerical advantages, Enzo can choose the timing of advance and retreat while hiding in the dark.
…
In the afternoon, somewhere in the Weeping Forest.
The two-headed ogre sat under a tree, tearing apart a walking corpse with its thick arms. The rotten flesh and blood was constantly stuffed into its mouth. Magu chewed it, with a satisfied expression on his ugly face, but Maka, the head next to him. His face was disgusted, and he was a little dissatisfied with the smell of zombies.
"Rotten stinky meat, so disgusting!"
Maka chewed the rotten meat in her mouth with a look of disgust on her face. The meat of the walking corpse could fill the ogre's belly, but the taste was far inferior to that of fresh flesh and blood.
"Come out! Come out quickly!"
Maka threw down the rotten meat in her hand, her scarlet eyes flashed with luster, and she whispered, "I have finally waited for the intruder, and I can finally enjoy the delicious food. I haven't eaten fresh flesh and blood for a long time. I have simply forgotten the taste." Got it!"
【
】
"Human flesh and blood, internal organs, and brains...it's so nostalgic..."
Suddenly, there was a roar in the distance.
"Appeared!"
Maka suddenly raised her head and looked at the direction of the sound. It slapped Magu hard on the head without any courtesy, interrupting her eating.
"Hurry around, you idiots!"
Immediately afterwards, Maka stood up and yelled at the ogres around him. Magu shook his head and grabbed the huge mallet beside him.
Bang bang bang!
Heavy footsteps sounded in the Weeping Forest, and the two-headed ogre led a group of men and ran in the direction of the roar.
After a while, the two-headed ogre stopped.
Ahead, there was a clearing in the forest. Ten ogres were waving wooden clubs and attacking ferociously. Maka's eyes narrowed and she frowned.
"what happened?"
The ogres were besieging the intruders, but Maka did not feel the aura of divinity. A shadow kept flashing, making it difficult to see his face.
"Get out of my way!"
Maka roared, and the two ogres in front spread out. It raised its arms directly, and waves similar to magic power appeared.
boom!
A burning flame was thrown forward, but after hitting the target, it turned into a shadow and exploded. Maka's expression suddenly changed.
"Oops, I fell into a trap!"
At this time, the ogre's roar sounded again, and at the same moment, it came from everywhere in the Weeping Forest. The two-headed ogre looked gloomy, gritted his teeth and ran in one direction.
Seeing this, the other ogres quickly followed suit.
"Damn it!"
After arriving at the next sound location, Maka discovered that what was besieged by the ogres was still a group of shadow-form soldiers, which soon turned into shadows and exploded with the attack.
In the Weeping Forest, the ogres kept roaring.
Under the command of the two-headed ogre Maka, all ogres roared warnings after encountering intruders. However, these stupid creatures could not tell the difference between wizards and shadows.
For a moment, Maka's face turned gloomy.
"Come on! Maka." At this time, Magu next to him waved his mallet and roared, "Magu is going to kill the intruder and smash his head!"
"Shut up, you idiot!"
Maka scolded in a low voice, forcibly clearing the chaotic roar in her mind, and relied on the killing marks on her body to try to find the identity of the intruder.
The owner of the killing mark can sense the direction of other gods, but this requires a process, not to mention that since the decisive battle between the two-headed ogre and the Skeleton King a hundred years ago, the mark in its body has fallen into silence.
…
At the same time, in another part of the forest.
On the same spot, shadows like a tide spread in all directions, turning into thin black lines, locking on targets one after another.
Bang!
Not far away, several ogres were controlled by shadow threads and were killing each other. Their strong bodies collided with each other, making the sound of broken bones.
"It's time to finish."
On the spot, Enzo murmured to himself, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and the shadow turned into a scythe, swinging it out in an instant, quickly harvesting the ogre's life.
A minute later, the corpses of ten ogres were lying on the ground, and the fishy smell spread, making people feel nauseated.
Enzo had no expression on his face and disappeared.
…
Not long after, with the sound of dull footsteps, the surrounding trees shook, and the huge body of the two-headed ogre came out.
"Damn guy!"
Looking at the several killed ogres on the ground, Magu had an angry expression on his face, while Maka's expression also turned gloomy.
Using the killing mark, the two-headed ogre finally vaguely sensed Enzo's location, but when it arrived, it only found a few ogre corpses.
At this time, the roar in the forest kept coming.
This shows that every ogre team was attacked by invaders, but most of them were shadow soldiers, and only one of them showed up.
"over there?"
The two-headed ogre turned around in vain, staring in one direction with his eyes, and then, without saying a word, he stepped forward and ran wildly.
The other ogres followed in confusion.
Maka relied on the guidance of the killing mark in her body to lock the position of divinity again, but when it came to the open space, the scene in front of it was the same as before.
The corpses of the ogres were lying in a mess on the ground. Each ogre was killed by a single blow, and most of the wounds came from the heart and neck.
The smell of blood continues to spread. The corpses of several ogres have not yet stiffened, but the culprits have long been missing.
Enzo, who is good at shadow witchcraft, is like a ghost in this forest. No one knows where he will appear next moment. With the strength of the second-level wizard, he can easily hunt the ogres.
"What a bunch of useless trash!"
The two-headed ogre Maka cursed. According to his original plan, although the ten ogres were unable to fight against the invaders after being attacked, they could at least delay it for a while.
As long as you arrive within a certain time, the intruder will have nowhere to escape.
However, Maka underestimated Enzo's strength.
With his weird and changeable shadow-based witchcraft, Enzo can continuously create chaos in the forest, and with his strength far exceeding that of ordinary second-level wizards, he can gradually reduce the number of ogres.
"This can't go on like this!"
Maka had a solemn expression on her face, suddenly raised her head, and let out a high-pitched roar that echoed in the Weeping Forest.
In this way, the two-headed ogre summons the members of the tribe.
Since the original plan has failed, if the ogres continue to disperse, they will only be hunted down by Enzo little by little, so the two-headed ogre can only summon them all back.
Only in this way can we avoid being hunted by intruders.
Not long after, there were the sounds of chaotic footsteps all around, and ogres emerged from the woods and gathered together in a mess.
"Quiet, you damn fools!"
Distraught by the noise of the ogres, Maka couldn't help but scolded. Next to him, the irritable Magu raised his mallet and smashed the head of a short ogre to pieces with the mallet.
Suddenly, the surroundings were quiet.
The two-headed ogre looked around and found that there were only ninety ogres summoned by him, which meant that more than thirty ogres had been killed by the invaders.
In less than a day, the number of ogres in the group was reduced by a quarter. Maka's face was as gloomy as water, but she was not too distressed.
The reproductive capacity of the ogres is not weak. The reason why there are not many is mainly because the food in the Weeping Forest is limited. Therefore, before the expansion of the territory, the two-headed ogres, as the chiefs, deliberately controlled the number to about a hundred.
