Chapter 294 Which corpse dares to steal from me?
Unfortunately, after asking around for a long time, Du Mu discovered that the village chief was just an ordinary Vanaheimer.
Although Vanaheim looks rather primitive, it is still an advanced civilization among the Nine Realms. The village chief only knows a little about it and is not a villager who can share controlled nuclear fusion technology.
Du Mu casually asked why these people were fighting.
It's understandable that the dwarves and trolls are fighting; both races come from Nidavellir and are sworn enemies, so it's only natural that they would fight each other when they meet.
But the elves and the frost giants, one from Alfheim and the other from Jotunheim, usually have nothing in common, so why did they suddenly start fighting?
However, the village chief said that both races were just bystanders.
The main problem was that the elves were notoriously picky about appearances. When they saw the frost giants' rough, blue appearance, they thought they were too ugly, which angered the frost giants, and then the two groups started fighting.
Du Mu: Two—This damned age of judging by appearances.
The village chief frowned, looking worried: "But letting them keep causing trouble like this isn't a solution. These outsiders staying in Vanaheim will cause us big trouble sooner or later."
NPC Thomas has given you a new quest.
[Mission: Drive out the outsiders]
[Objective: To repatriate the outsiders who arrived here through the spatial rift to their original kingdoms.]
[Rewards: 1000 experience points, +10 favorability with the people of Vanaheim, 1 random piece of equipment, 1 random item]
Just as the system notification sound ended, a deafening roar suddenly came from afar, causing the leaves in the forest to rustle and fall.
Dust billowed up in the forest instantly, and the cracking sounds of trees breaking echoed one after another as large trees fell.
Not long after, a colossal beast charged towards them.
This behemoth was at least three or four stories tall, its entire body covered in pale blue frost armor, with short, thick limbs and a long tail covered in spikes trailing behind it, looking ferocious and savage.
This is a frost behemoth, the exclusive war beast of their frost giant race. It also came from Jotunheim through a spatial rift.
As soon as the frost behemoth charged into the battlefield, it first smashed into several large trees, knocking over the elves who were crouching in the trees and firing arrows.
Then it charged wildly, scattering the dwarves and trolls fighting nearby, before raising its head and letting out a roar, as if declaring itself the overlord of this battlefield.
"Well done!"
The leading frost giant, beaming with pride, burst into loud laughter.
After rampaging through and dealing with the other races around it, the Frost Beast was clearly not satisfied. It turned its massive head and fixed its beastly eyes on the Vanaheimers at the edge of the battlefield.
It exhaled two streams of white air from its nostrils, and with a burst of power from its four legs, the ground shook as it charged toward this side.
The village chief's expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Oh no! Get out of the way!"
The villagers of Vanaheim scattered in terror, but Du Mu stood still, watching the frost behemoth charge straight at him.
Just as the frost behemoth was about to crash into him, a black tentacle suddenly shot out from behind Du Mu.
Bang!
With a dull thud, the frost behemoth was sent flying, crashing into a thick tree that would take several adults to encircle.
The tree snapped in half, and the once arrogant frost behemoth crashed heavily to the ground, twitching twice before falling silent.
Du Mu stepped forward and said, "Thor, the eldest prince of Asgard, is my good brother. Let's give him some face and stop fighting."
Seeing the Frost Giant defeated in one fell swoop, the Frost Giant was initially startled, but upon hearing Du Mu mention Thor, a surge of anger instantly rose to his head, and his eyes turned red.
Right now, the people the entire Frost Giant race hates the most are undoubtedly the brothers Thor and Loki.
These two brothers not only stormed into Jotunheim and wreaked havoc, but also plotted to kill Laufey, the Frost Giant King, and even used the Rainbow Bridge, a star-destroying strategic weapon, to blast away nearly half of their home.
And all of this stemmed from a family conflict between the two brothers.
The frost giants harbored a deep-seated hatred for the two brothers.
Du Mu's mention of Sol only added fuel to the fire.
"He's Thor's brother! Don't let him get away! Attack!"
The leading frost giant roared.
The other frost giants immediately conjured sharp ice spikes in their hands and charged straight at Du Mu.
"Thor also claims to be a celebrity of the Nine Realms, but that title is completely useless."
Du Mu muttered a complaint, then flipped his right hand, revealing several playing cards between his fingers.
With a slight flick of the wrist, the playing cards flew out of his hand.
The speed of the playing cards is terrifying.
All the people saw was a flash of afterimage before the playing cards were driven deep into the bodies of the first few frost giants, causing them to let out piercing screams of pain.
[Skill: Throwing (Any object you throw will have its accuracy, range, damage, etc. greatly increased; even a thin piece of paper can become a deadly weapon in your hands)]
These playing cards were made of special materials, and combined with Du Mu's terrifying strength and throwing skills, piercing the flesh of these frost giants was as easy as puncturing a piece of paper.
The next second, crimson magic runes instantly lit up the surface of the playing cards.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Several deafening explosions followed, and the playing cards embedded in the Frost Giants' bodies instantly shattered, spraying blood mist on the spot. Several Frost Giants screamed and collapsed to the ground.
Du Mu did not stop, and quickly threw out playing cards. Explosions echoed among the frost giants, and one after another, the tall figures fell to the ground.
"Go to hell!"
But a frost giant still rushed in front of Du Mu, its ice spike piercing through the air.
Du Mu tilted his head and turned to the side, easily dodging the fatal blow. He then reached out and grabbed the other person's arm, his five fingers suddenly exerting force, digging directly into the other person's flesh and locking the entire arm firmly.
Ignoring the Frost Giant's heart-wrenching screams, Du Mu used his waist and abdomen to twist and spin, directly throwing the two-meter-tall Frost Giant like a shot put, smashing it hard against several other Frost Giants that rushed up behind it.
The Frost Giant is also an object, and it also benefits from the effects of throwing skills, making this attack incredibly powerful.
They flew dozens of meters, leaving a series of deep craters on the ground. When they finally stopped, their limbs were twisted and their bones were broken in countless places, making for a gruesome sight.
Glug!
The other races watching nearby swallowed hard when they saw this.
Fortunately, they didn't make a move, otherwise they would have ended up like those frost giants.
After Du Mu finished dealing with the group of frost giants, he turned his gaze to the leading frost giant.
"Do you have a grudge against Thor?"
The frost giant froze, shaking his head frantically: "It's gone now!"
In the face of death, the mere hatred of destroying a star is insignificant.
Seeing how quickly he changed his expression, Du Mu chuckled: "Alright, take your people and go back to where you came from."
"Okay, okay."
The Frost Giant leader felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He called on the Frost Giants who were still able to move to carry their people lying on the ground, and even dragged the Frost Beast onto the rig, and they ran quickly toward the spatial rift leading to Jotunheim.
Once they had completely disappeared, Du Mu turned his head and looked at the remaining races.
"Do you want to continue fighting?"
Upon hearing this, everyone waved their hands repeatedly.
"No, no, it's too late, I need to go back for dinner."
"It's going to rain where I am, and I haven't brought in the laundry yet, so I have to hurry."
"My grandma is about to give birth to my dad, I need to go home to see her."
Even the dwarves and trolls put aside their personal grudges and looked at each other in a friendly manner.
There's no way around it, Du Mu is just too convincing.
There's a saying that goes, "Reason is for speaking, force is for making others listen to you."
Once all the outsiders had entered the spatial rifts in their respective countries, the system's voice sounded again.
The mission "Expel Outsiders" has been completed.
[Rewards: 1000 experience points, +10 favorability with the people of Vanaheim, equipped with the best sword in the village, and the Power Needle]
[Equipment: The best sword in the whole village (as long as you stay in the starting village, it's the best weapon)]
[Item: Stamina Injection (One injection, and you can run 100 floors in one go without breaking a sweat)]
The reward wasn't much, since this kind of task was indeed too easy for Du Mu at the moment.
He was just about to pack up and leave when his arm was suddenly grabbed.
Turning around, he saw the village chief, his eyes red with tears: "My benefactor! You've saved our village again! I have no way to repay you, please accept our village's ancestral thousand-year-old salted fish!"
Du Mu's lips twitched: "There's absolutely no need..."
'
The village chief added, "I have an unmarried granddaughter at home, which I'd like to introduce to you. She's the most beautiful girl in the whole village."
Du Mu's expression changed slightly, and he hesitated for two seconds with a troubled look on his face: "Alright, I really can't refuse your kind invitation. Don't misunderstand, I'm just more interested in your thousand-year-old salted fish."
Half an hour later, Du Mu regretted it.
Ignoring the villagers' enthusiastic pleas to stay, he grabbed a bag of cosmic coins and a thousand-year-old salted fish and rushed out of the village without looking back.
"Damn it, the village chief's illiteracy is really a burden to me; he doesn't even know how to use measure words."
"Is that one?" It's clearly a car!
Du Mu muttered curses under his breath.
Actually, you can't entirely blame the village chief; it's just that Du Mu wasn't very familiar with the local customs of Warnaheim.
Vanaheim's preferences are very similar to those of a certain dynasty in the East, where plumpness was considered beautiful and weight was directly proportional to beauty.
Feeling cheated, Du Mu grew increasingly angry and grilled the thousand-year-old salted fish on the spot.
I had just taken a bite after it was baked when a system notification suddenly popped up.
【Roasted Thousand-Year Salted Fish: A mysterious species from ancient times; consuming it permanently increases strength by one point】
【Power: 102→103】
Du Mu: "?"
This was the first time he had ever seen food that could permanently increase attributes.
So the most valuable thing about this mission isn't the system reward, but this thousand-year-old salted fish?
Du Mu quickly took two more bites, and this time the system did not react.
It seems that only the first bite increases attributes; after that, it only adds to the taste.
What exactly is the origin of this thousand-year-old salted fish?
Du Mu was completely baffled.
But having just escaped from the village, it wasn't appropriate to go back and ask; he could only save it for another time to ask the village chief.
He didn't finish eating it, but put the rest into his game inventory, thinking that maybe giving it to someone else later would increase their attributes.
Upon obtaining the thousand-year-old salted fish, Du Mu's depressed mood instantly improved.
That's just how he is; his emotions come and go quickly.
Du Mu took out his flying broom and set off again.
The journey was smooth this time, and they soon arrived at the hideout of the raider's spaceship.
The camouflage at the cave entrance was intact and didn't look like anyone had touched it, which was good news.
However, once he entered the depths of the mountains, his expression instantly fell.
The number of raider ships has decreased.
It wasn't an illusion; the once neatly arranged raider ships now had a large empty space, starkly clear.
Du Mu narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flashing in them.
"Which corpse dares to steal from my head?"
As he approached the open space, he sensed something was amiss.
Small pebbles floated in the air around them, some even appearing and disappearing intermittently, like a bug in a game.
Du Mu was no stranger to this scene. Not long ago, when he sent those outsiders back to their country, the area near the spatial rift looked exactly like this, defying the laws of physics.
He picked up a stone and threw it towards the open space.
The next moment, the stone disappeared into mid-air.
It is obvious that there is also a spatial rift here.
The vanished raider ships weren't stolen; they were swallowed by the spatial rift and transported somewhere unknown.
Du Mu's lips twitched.
This is incredibly lucky; a spatial rift just happened to appear where he had hidden his raider ship.
"So the question is, where does this spatial rift lead to?"
Du Mu stroked his chin, pondering.
If a few distinct races like the Frost Giants were to emerge from the spatial rift, he would recognize them at a glance.
The problem is that it's completely empty now, there's nothing there, and you can't see anything at all.
But this spatial rift swallowed more than a dozen raider ships, and there were still a lot of resources inside. It would be a real shame to lose them.
As I said before, Du Mu was a man who wouldn't waste a single grain of rice.
If he were to give up like this, he would probably be devastated.
However, just to be on the safe side, Du Mu did not immediately step into the spatial rift. Instead, he took out a small smart device and threw it into the rift to let it explore the situation inside first.
However, he waited for a long time but the small intelligent device did not return.
Undeterred, Du Mu threw out several more small smart devices, but they still didn't return.
"I refuse to believe this nonsense."
With a wave of his hand, Du Mu summoned an Ultron robot.
He pointed to the gap in the space in front of him: "Go in and check the situation. If anything seems wrong, retreat immediately without hesitation."
The Ultron robot nodded, plunged into the spatial rift, and its figure disappeared in sight.
Time passed second by second.
There was still no movement on the other side of the spatial rift.
Du Mu was genuinely surprised.
What's going on on the other side of this spatial rift? Even Ultron can't come back.
With the power of Ultron, it could easily take down most superheroes, let alone Hulk and Thor.
When it was thrown into the spatial crevice, not a single drop of water was splashed.
