Chapter 238: The Miserable Hydra (Part I)
Hearing the sound of fighting in the distance, the necromancer Rowan gripped his staff, and a huge zombie giant was summoned by Rowan.
However, the noise in the distance soon stopped, the mercenaries had won, and Rowan had also dispersed the summoned zombie giants back to the underworld.
It didn't take long for the mercenaries to escort eight people to the front of the Chamber of Commerce.
Of the eight people escorted, two were heavily armed and wearing heavy armor, which should be knights, five were wearing light armor, and it seemed that they should be guards, and as for the remaining one, whether it was Jenny or Keno, they were very familiar.
It was Miss Jenny's biological father, Earl Ian Tennison.
As a result, the eight people of the earl, who had been escorted, were immediately released by Jenny, and the scene became a little embarrassing for a while.
But the stalemate didn't last as long as expected.
The Count, who loved his daughter, had always had a good relationship with Jenny, and although the scene was beyond the Count's expectations, the Count accepted his daughter's words.
After his daughter uses [Psychic Connection] to communicate with her, the Count believes that Jenny is the chosen darling of the god Sistem.
Two days later, as Jenny's father, Earl Ian joined the Golden Banana Chamber of Commerce, becoming the first nobleman in the Golden Banana Chamber of Commerce......
……
……
I don't know if it's an illusion, when Systm was recalling the banana in his dream, he inexplicably thought of Jenny, the daughter of the count, who was a little mentally abnormal.
But the illusion only appeared for a short time, and then it never came again, and Systham could not imagine that Jenny's little girl could have anything to do with bananas.
After all, Systm didn't think of any useful results for the banana in his dream.
But as he continued to feel the bananas, Sistum's [intuition] gradually became more and more sensitive, as if the hidden things in these bananas would be closely entangled with him in the future.
……
The study of bananas did not delay Sistelm's time, because thinking about bananas was only done in Sisstem's free time.
For most of the past two days, Systham has been preparing for [Shadow Avatar] to visit Hydra Diamius, learning more about the abilities and temperament of the snake man Rex's nine heads of the Hydra.
However, the snake man wizard does not know much about Hydra, but he only knows that most of the Hydra's heads are not very irritable, and all snake heads can communicate.
It is possible to communicate with Hydra, which is very much in line with Sistum's previous inference about most abyssal creatures - among abyssal creatures, the higher the rank strength, the higher the intelligence; The higher the intelligence, the more rational the irascible personality will become.
In addition, through the snake man wizard, Sistemm also received a very special piece of news about the hydra, the legendary abyssal creature Hydra Diamius, who has never left his lair twenty meters away in the more than 100 years since Rex was born.
For more than a hundred years, he has been living in his lair and never going out, which has to be said to be a miracle.
This left Heatham very confused.
Could it be that Hydra is a homely creature in the abyss?
Or is there some particular reason?
But Rex and another snake wizard alone were no longer able to get Sistemm to know more about Hydra.
In any case, knowing that Hydra Diamius would not leave the lair easily, gave Sistemm more certainty that he would send [Shadow Incarnation], and Sistemm decided not to wait any longer, after all, there was only a limited amount of time left for him.
……
After some preparations, Systm commanded [Shadow Avatar] to follow the snake man wizard Rex eastward to the Hydra lair in the jungle of the Blackwater Wetlands.
The snake man wizard's movement looks clumsy, but in fact the speed of movement is not slow, even in the mud-covered Monaide swamp, the snake man can reach a speed of about 40 kilometers per hour when he wriggles his body quickly.
However, compared to the flying Sisttm, the snake man is still a little slower.
But if there is no transcendental-level snake man to open the way, the [Shadow Avatar] that flies all the way will inevitably encounter a lot of unnecessary troubles and be attacked by magical creatures with strong territorial awareness.
After a day and a half, and with a proper rest, the [Shadow Avatar] of Systm traveled nearly a thousand kilometers to the forest-like blackwater wetland.
Although it is like a forest, the Blackwater Wetland is very different from the real forest, because the plant species here are not very rich, and there are no more than 10 species of plants.
There are many unknown trees in the jungle, about the thickness of a bucket, no more than three meters high, and the branches of the trees are very rugged, with many forks, and the leaves are purple-red like willow leaves.
There are also many such trees in the Monet Marsh, but in the Monet Marsh, this kind of tree does not grow at all, at most a small sapling of ten centimeters, like a grass plant.
Upon entering the jungle, it was clear to Systham that although there were still many mosquitoes here, there were at least two-thirds fewer mosquitoes than those in Monet's swamp.
And in the jungle, at the bottom of the food chain, there is a new kind of bug that is noticeably new, and that is the ubiquitous earthworm.
Some large earthworms roll in the dirt, even to the extent of snakes, and can be up to half a meter long.
However, compared to the ferocious and irritable mosquitoes, earthworms are clearly vegetarians and feed on the soil of the wetlands.
Hearing some movement, or being attacked by mosquitoes more violently, earthworms will actively flee and burrow into the dirt to avoid the attack.
At the upper end of the food chain, with the exception of fewer toads and lizards, most of the abyssal creatures here are abyssal snakes.
To put it simply, the big snake eats the small snake, and the small snake eats the earthworm.
……
Because of the general territorial consciousness at the level of the abyss, Rex, as a transcendent creature, will avoid most hostile creatures as long as he releases his breath during his movement.
This is true in the Monet Marshes, but also in the Blackwater Wetlands.
After nearly a day's journey, hundreds of kilometers later, the [Shadow Avatar] of Systm and the snake man Rex managed to reach the lair of the legendary creature Hydra Diamius.
Two kilometers away from Hydra Diamius, Sistemm felt a faint oppressive force.
This oppressive force is very secretive, and if it weren't for the talent [perception], maybe it would be difficult for Syst to feel it.
Three hundred meters outside the Hydra's lair, the Snake People surrounded a very large fence with relatively straight tree branches, and the fence was crawling with vines unique to the jungle, which looked like a wall.
There were only a few entrances and exits in the walls, each guarded by relatively tall snake warriors armed with wooden spears.
It seems that he was afraid that ordinary snake people would disturb the hydra Diamius who lived here.
Because of the path opened by the snake wizard Rex, Sistum's [Shadow Avatar] was unhindered, easily passing through the guards and entering the vine wall, and seeing the legendary creature Hydra with his own eyes.
The level of [Psychic Transmission] inherited by Sistem's [Shadow Avatar] is not very high.
So [Psychic Connection] couldn't go as far as the proprioceptive sense, and it wasn't until he got close to Hydra that Systm discovered the incredible condition of the legendary creature Hydra......
