In fact, Duncan had already detected something amiss through the god’s perspective, but he still pondered aloud, "Notice anything?"
Others looked puzzled.
But Hegel’s expression gradually grew serious. He glanced at Duncan in surprise and said, "There’s a bit of rotten stench!..."
"Forest troll?"
Duncan slowly shook his head and said, "Feels more like an ogre!"
Uh-oh.
They had two companions out hunting.
Hegel grabbed his weapon and charged ahead; he had lost many comrades and didn’t want to see it happening again.
"This way!"
"It’s upwind!"
Duncan pointed in a direction, and others followed. Hegel turned around and actively followed behind Duncan, still unaware of when the human form acquired such a keen sense of smell.
A group of robust men sprinted through the dense jungle.
Their speed was incredibly fast because Barbarians have the Quick Movement ability. Soon, they heard the roars of battle ahead.
"It’s a Frenzied Battle Cry!"
"They’re in danger!"
Hegel shouted with rage, instantly activating Frenzy Ability. His hulking figure became like a small giant, his speed increasing several notches above the others.
"Give me a spear!"
Duncan shouted, tossing a shield to Crete. He leapt through the jungle, much like Tarzan, catching a spear in midair during his dash, and in an instant, a streak of light darted out like lightning!
— Ogre (Giant Monster) (Giant’s Blood) (Four-Star Silver Gray)!
There is not just one!
Within the god’s perspective’s marked range, besides the huge ogre in front, there were more ogres on the hills farther away; they encountered a monster nest.
— Great Frenzy!
Duncan’s figure let out a thunderous roar, his muscles coiling, veins bulging, and his bones crackling—the whole person seeming to expand a few degrees.
Ogres, or better described as ogres,
are considered a branch of the Giant’s Blood lineage, very common in this Barbaric Era, with many branches.
The wilderness in this era is extremely dangerous; creatures with the Giant’s Blood strain are only considered medium difficulty. There are many more terrifying legends, and even blood gods worshipped in ancient times. However, they normally dare not approach human cities, as humans have now entered the city-state era.
