No matter how strong the opponent is, their size alone is enough to give the three of them a headache.
If it's really like Ji Shuangshuang said, and these frost giants are not in their original form yet, and they can grow to the size of small mountains, then let alone fighting, even if each of them spits, they could drown the three of them.
Now, none of the three of them can unleash the true power of the Three Emperor Artifacts. Dealing with enemies of that size, one or two might be manageable, but if there are three or more, they will have to find a way to escape.
But to the surprise of the three, when all the giants grew to about five meters, Laufey actually actively closed the box inside his body. Indeed, as Ji Shuangshuang guessed, the coldness immediately reduced a lot as soon as the box was closed.
The sky no longer had snow falling, but at this time, Shennongjia had completely turned into winter. It seemed like just a change of season, but this sudden advance of winter would bring unknown damage to this forest.
So, did Laufey close the Ancient Winter Coffin because of his love for nature? Of course not. Even if there are countless possibilities, this is the most unlikely one.
Ji Shuangshuang's expression changed, and soon she combined the information given by Yang Le, plus the records within the S.H.I.E.L.D. (Shen Spear Bureau), and came to an answer.
"He is afraid of killing all living things in the world." Ji Shuangshuang said her guess. "Since he picked up that hammer, it means he has been taken in by something called the Serpent (Orochi), and the Serpent needs intelligent creatures to provide him with fear."
"I understand." Lin Lie understood immediately. "That is to say, he can't fully release the power of the Ancient Winter Coffin now, otherwise the entire Earth will be frozen, and then there will be no living things to provide energy to the Serpent."
"Sounds like good news." A Cheng sighed. Giants of about five meters are also very tall, but they are obviously more acceptable than mountain-like giants.
Sure enough, the broken window effect is correct.
"You guessed it right." Laufey praised. "If I fully open the Ancient Winter Coffin, our race can indeed be more comfortable, but if that's the case, we will become the ones who fall into fear instead of humans."
The Serpent has not recovered to his full strength, but it is still very easy for him to join forces with other Worthy (Heavenly Hammer Venerables) to destroy the giants. Laufey is not so brainless. At this time, being honest and obedient is the most correct thing to do.
When the Serpent and Asgard are both defeated, he can regain his freedom, and then take the Ancient Winter Coffin and his people back to Jotunheim, and then plan for a comeback.
Now, all he needs to do is to endure.
"I won't hide it from you, my mission is to take back the Heavenly Hammer from your hands. If you are willing to turn around and leave, I won't stop you, but if you want to look for trouble, I can also accompany you."
"Then sorry." Lin Lie brandished a sword flourish. "Our specialty is expelling invaders, it has been like this since ancient times."
A Cheng and Ji Shuangshuang took a stance, obviously they also agreed with Lin Lie's words, then there is nothing to say.
The frost giants roared when they saw this, but Laufey raised his hand to stop them. He picked up the warhammer at his feet and said.
"All retreat, I need to vent the anger I received in Asgard."
The giant king's order is absolute, and the giants picked up their shields and short weapons and began to strike/beat, the rhythm is full of rhythm, like cheering for their king.
"Capture the ringleader first." A Cheng said with a smile. "As long as we take down the boss on the opposite side, these small fries are just decorations."
"Attack first!" Ji Shuangshuang ordered decisively. A Cheng immediately obeyed, and the Shennong whip in his hand ignited flame-like energy, like a dragon biting towards Laufey.
Not only A Cheng moved, Ji Shuangshuang and Lin Lie also moved together.
Lin Lie jumped up from the ground with his sword in hand. Ji Shuangshuang next to him clenched his fist suddenly, and a blue translucent arm immediately appeared under Lin Lie's feet.
Like throwing a ball, under Ji Shuangshuang's control, the energy arm exerted force like its owner, throwing Lin Lie out, the target was Laufey, the same as Shennong whip.
Seeing two aggressive attacks coming one after the other, Laufey showed an interested expression.
The whip at the front is a probing move, the purpose is to cover teammates and trick out his defense, so that the kid with the sword at the back can safely kill him.
This tactic looks simple, but it tests the degree of tacit understanding. If the whole process is commanded by mouth, then there will be no surprise attack effect, and the enemy will be on guard, but will put the teammate who is the killer into a dangerous situation instead.
These three people did not say a word throughout the whole process except for the initial command. This kind of tacit understanding is indeed rare. It seems that this battle will not make him feel bored, and it is okay as a leisure activity.
Laufey thought in his heart, but his movements were not slow at all. He raised his left hand upwards, and a thick ice cone suddenly rose from the ground. The time when this ice cone rose was just right, so that A Cheng had no way to change his move in advance to avoid the ice cone.
A Cheng secretly said it was not good, Shennong whip had been entangled on the ice cone. In the crisis, he did not use flames to melt the ice cone, but extinguished the flames on the whip.
Lin Lie saw that their moves were broken, so he exerted force on his waist and abdomen to change his posture in the air, stretched out his gauntlet-clad hand and grabbed the Shennong whip under him, and after gliding a little distance, he forced himself to stop.
Before Lin Lie could stand firm, the ice cone raised by Laufey shattered in an instant. It turned out that Laufey himself smashed the ice cone with the hammer in his right hand. It is conceivable what Lin Lie's fate would be if he hadn't stopped.
Shennong whip lost its foothold and naturally softened. A Cheng turned his wrist, and Shennong whip wrapped around Lin Lie in the air as if it had come alive, and pulled him back.
Breaking the opponent's first move did not make Laufey relax his vigilance. He heard the sound of breaking wind coming from under him and quickly took a step back, just in time to dodge an uppercut.
Looking closely, it turned out to be Ji Shuangshuang. She took advantage of Laufey's focus on Lin Lie and the two to run to Laufey's feet, and used the fist condensed by Nuwa gauntlet to punch an uppercut.
Ji Shuangshuang was not annoyed by the failed sneak attack, and she didn't only have one hand, the other fist had already been ready and waiting.
Ji Shuangshuang put on a stance, and punched a powerful straight punch towards Laufey's face. The latter did not dare to neglect this fist, which was about the same size as his arm, and retracted the hammer he swung out to block it in front of his face.
"Dang!"
Like a bell ringing, the force of the collision spread in all directions, blowing away the snow on the ground, revealing the grass that had just withered not long ago.
