Killing the Frost Hound

Just then, Taiyi wrapped his entire body around Frost Hound to prevent being thrown to the cold ground by the frantic hound.

"Is there any Latin spell? Any spell! Latin or French, even if the Sanskrit, just say something!!!" Taiyi shouted angrily at Caroline.

He's not mad at Caroline; he's angry at the 100% immersive game model:

Come on! Foreign players' lives matter! He really doesn't have a vocab reserve of spells!

Taiyi was clearly remembered before Mr. Hoover used to test that "Lumence" is actually a Latin word.

He had reason to suspect that the spell had to be in Latin or some foreign language to activate the magic.

"Flamma? You try flamma! It means flame!" Caroline quickly suggested a word.

Okay, flame, alright? That's it!

Taiyi's one hand raised his axe high, his right hand still firmly clutching Frost Hound's neck.

"FLAMMA! FLAMMA!! FLAMMA!!!"

With his guttural roar, a massive blaze of fire gushed out from the metal part of the axe!

Each of the magical flames embedded precisely in the gap of Frost Hound's head, making it unable to move.

The axe was firmly nailed to Frost Hound's head, and Taiyi was keenly aware at that moment that Frost Hound was no longer moving and that it was probably indeed dead.

[Ding - you have completed the side quest "Frost Hound's minions"!]

Taiyi felt like he was going to faint from exhaustion.

He didn't think Survival Online could make the combat system so realistic.

That sounded like...as if he had actually accomplished the feat of killing a giant magical creature through his own strength and wisdom!

With the system confirming Frost Hound's death, the icy fog that had just enveloped the trio also dissipated.

At this time, the country road back to Ralu Village finally revealed its original face.

Everything was so calm and peaceful, as if just being attacked by magical creatures was just a collective hallucination of the three people.

"Eastern! You did it!" Caroline's eyes were moist with moisture, unsure if she was shocked or touched by Taiyi's initiative.

"It's okay; it's better than I thought it would be to handle."

Taiyi jumped down from Frost Hound's giant corpse, and it took him a lot of effort to pull his axe head out of the hound's skull.

Strange, something was different.

Taiyi carefully examined the axe head; he found that not only was it not stained with any blood or brain tissue from the hound, but it had a bright and clean aura, like a particular item in the game that had been "enlightened".

Taiyi still has not opened the "Seven Color Identification Method", so he is unsure if this change is related to the magic power.

"Eastern, you are a natural warrior. You saved us." the village head said.

The village head also got down from the dilapidated wagon at this time. He pointed to the corpse of Frost Hound on the ground and explained,

"This is a magical creature; it should have at least level three or blue ability; you should examine its corpse properly; there might be magic fragments hidden inside it."

The village head is not an awaker; he is just an elder who has seen a lot of things, so he gave his judgment.

"I'm too tired. just now, I used magic; maybe it drained some of my physical energy." Taiyi sighed and said.

"What should we do with his body?" Caroline asked, stepping forward and taking a closer look at the giant 500-pound magical creature.

Caroline was sure the magical hound was a boy because it had two huge balls exposed naked for all to see.

But for a country girl like Caroline, it's nothing to be shy; it's not like she's never seen animals in heat and mating.

"Magical creatures are rare existence, and every inch of their flesh and blood can be sold for a fortune,"

The village head commented, "Caroline, don't you and Eastern go to magic school for tuition? This beast can afford all the expense."

"He is so valuable?!" Caroline and Taiyi said at the same time.

The two looked at each other, seemingly not expecting this ugly monster to have such an expensive value.

"Let's carry it to the carriage first. Of course, first put the planks you took back together in their original position, this carriage ... well, the plank wagon. It really is rather fragile now." village head twirled his beard and did not continue talking about Frost Hound's stature.

"Will there be any new magical creatures to attack us later?" Taiyi asked.

He assessed his physical ability; he currently had no player's extra ability and was as ordinary as a native Pacificia continent youth.

He would probably die if there was another sudden attack from a magical creature.

"That won't happen again."

"Magical creatures, especially blue level 3 magical creatures, usually stray from the herd and own a territory alone. It's not clear why it roamed here, but it is indeed the king of this wilderness." the village head commented.

The village head's tone was calm, very confident in his own judgment.

"That's great." Taiyi nodded, which was also consistent with his judgment.

He had played many games, and an elite-level monster was enough to test new players.

Game companies usually don't want to push players to their death. If they did, they would inevitably receive extensive bad reviews from players.

With Caroline's help, Taiyi managed to move Frost Hound's corpse onto the crate while the gluttonous dwarf horse was grunting and working. It took a lot of effort to drag the crate successfully.

The crate's wooden wheels creaked in ears, and Caroline stood by Taiyi's side, laughing and joking.

The village head continued to hunch his back and watch them with a smile on his face.

"It's good to be young." the village head lamented.

And Taiyi dragged his tired body back to his thatched hut in Ralu Village; he was not even interested in listening to Caroline's legend of the bard and the Life Witch.

He was too sleepy, so sleepy that he just wanted to sleep.

This should be the game system prompting him to pause the game; the game company must have imposed a "weak/sleepy" debuff on him, so he had to immediately go to sleep.

"Have a nice dream, my hero," Caroline said.

Taiyi lay in bed, his eyelids heavy.

He saw Caroline helping with the housework with the help of a glowing quill that looked brighter than before.

When Taiyi thought he was about to exit the game interface, Caroline sat on the edge of his bed and gently branded a kiss on Taiyi's forehead.

Her lips were soft and red, as dangerous and enchanting as the roses that mages trust in.

She is beautiful, Taiyi thought to himself.

But we're not suitable, Taiyi added in his mind.

******

Hello guys, please give him some time.

Taiyi is a rather shy introverted personality; he and Caroline need to develop their relationship by events;

and finally, he currently still sees Caroline as game data, not as an independent person.

I swear they'll have a sweeeeettie 'connection' on our boat.

You ask me why so confident?

Cause I used a fetter to lock their fates together.
