482. Mythical Creature
With only a single body of the monster exposed, it's hard to guess how long it is hidden deep underground.
But just by looking at the terrifying appearance, you can see that there must be a longer and larger body buried underground.
Everyone was stunned, it was a large creature, like a water serpent, covered in a bright film that was difficult to refract by light. The upper part of an extremely ugly triangular head has countless compound eyes the size of a millstone, which are reflected by the silver moonlight from time to time.
The purple-red tongue protrudes from the jaw and head like tentacles, and wriggles wildly around it.
And behind that ugly head, there were two more heads faintly, but they were entangled in a thick black gas, and the boundary between them and the body was not very obvious.
On the tip of its tongue, there is an amorphous black evil aura, ethereal, and occasionally you can see the strong things contained in it, maybe its teeth?
It looks like a super serpent from ancient legends.
Hydra!
Finally, when someone saw it, they screamed as if they had lost their minds.
That's right, this is simply a mythical monster, the nine-headed serpent.
Hydra is a mythical creature in human legends, which appears most frequently in ancient Greek mythology, and can also be seen in the Persian scriptures, the Bible, legends of the African continent, and oriental mythology in human civilization.
In fact, this multi-headed monster is not only recorded in the classics, but also appears in mythology all over the world, and in some areas, such as the "Eight-headed Snake" in the mythology of the Sun Country, and the nine-headed monster bird "Xiangliu" in the Chinese Oriental mythology, etc., are its incarnation.
Its grotesque image represents evil, its huge body represents strength, and its multi-headed body represents its strong vitality.
And more similarly, these monsters are one of the background legends of great heroes.
Although there are all kinds of records about this god in human mythology, everyone from the realm knows that it is not a myth or legend, but a real monster.
Before humans began to record their history in words, the Lord of the Sea, named Dagon, and his consort, Hydra, had their descendants all over the planet, from the deep sea to rivers and lakes.
Their offspring are collectively known as the "Deep Divers", with amphibian heads and human bodies, and incredibly, the "Deep Divers" have been entangled with the Jidu people throughout history.
Hydra and Dagon are both known as the "Old Gods".
But no one knows whether these giant creatures are native or alien to the planet.
The ancient myths of the people of the Certus are vaguely explained, but some people call them the "Old Dominators" because they once worshipped an ancient god called "Cthulhu" in ancient times.
These obsidian people are not very clear about the records of ancient documents in the holy city, but they all know one thing, there is a very important reason why "Ispartine" was built here, they don't know, there are actually two reasons for this.
One is that because the mysterious meteorite containing Sartre alloy fell here, buried deep underground, after the ancestors of the Jidu people discovered its existence, they began to try to mine it.
Each gram alloy is incomparably precious, and a small piece of fingernail cover can be fused and symbiotic with other mineral metals, containing a huge amount of unknown energy.
In long-term research, the ancestors of the Jidu people found that this alloy was like a living one, and although it was difficult to fuse them, once the fusion was successful, it also had an impact on the intelligence of the creature.
The demand for this precious alloy is very high in the Holy City of Radiance, but it is almost impossible to mine it on a large scale.
The raw Sartre alloy exposed to the outside world has strong radiation and will have a huge impact on the human body, so it must be passivated and then mixed with other metals and smelted with a special device.
Therefore, it is necessary to put a cover on top of the Sartre alloy vein, so that it cannot be exposed to the air any longer, and it is necessary to send practitioners to strictly guard it.
It can be said that the original design concept of the "Ispartine" temple was actually a hidden arsenal of the Jidu people.
The second reason is basically unknown, and the only ones who keep this secret are the high-level councils and the House of Elders of the realm.
In ancient times, the Jidu people fought fierce wars with their alien enemies in this area. As a result of the war, hundreds of miles around the area were scorched, and the site of the temple of "Ispartine" was destroyed by the powerful force used by both sides.
A terrifying cloud of radiation rises, the ground becomes as soft as melted cream, and all species that live here are wiped out.
Thousands of miles of white bones, thousands of miles of yellow sand, all the land is barren.
Even the Earth's magnetic poles were changed in an instant, icebergs appeared in the desert, and cold winds with snow blew over the equator......
And the end of the war was almost a defeat for both sides, and while countless alien creatures were suppressed, the Jidu people also paid a terrible price.
Destroyed ruins abound, and even the palaces deep underground were crumbling, but they still couldn't completely kill these alien creatures, and their powerful regenerative abilities were temporarily dormant, making everyone feel uneasy and terrified.
Eventually, they succeeded in capturing an ancient "god", which was Hydra.
After seven days and seven nights of slaughter, almost all of Hydra's descendants, the "Deep Divers", were killed or exiled.
In the midst of the valiant battles of countless Jidu, the limbs of the enemy were turned into their battle songs in the bloody wind, and they succeeded in imprisoning Hydra and her sons here, although only a few of them, but their violent habits still terrified the Jidu people.
To prevent Hydra from escaping, they created a sturdy prison out of satyr alloy and modified a device left behind by the "Atlanteans" to study the secrets of these creatures.
These people have long studied the genetic structure of Hydra and her offspring, trying to find a way to assimilate it in the hope of removing the dreaded alien vitality.
In the years that followed, "Ispartine" sent the most powerful guardians to the ground of the secular world in turn, and imposed a powerful sealing energy - the prohibition of spiritual power.
This approach was once effective in curbing the emergence of threats.
But after a long period of time, many things have been forgotten, and the guards of the garrison have long forgotten their true mission and purpose.
Similar practices have been inherited in small quantities over time, but more formalism has been retained, and has gradually evolved into another distorted rhetoric and custom.
No one can say exactly what happened to the beginning and end of that war.
There are only a few words recorded in the scriptures of the Jidu people, but they are all incomplete.
There are actually many kinds of alien creatures, such as bloodlines, werewolves, deep divers, winged wingers, and mutated humans...... But there is no record of what caused these alien races to suddenly multiply and grow, and there is no conclusive evidence that they attacked humans first.
Before human history, there were many juggernauts on this planet.
The existence of those mutated creatures is universal, and the level of civilization and intelligence is quite high, such as the blood and wolf clans, and the deep divers.
According to the literature of the Zodu, deep divers are a race of humanoids who live on the bottom of the sea: their bodies are supposed to be a dull green color, although their bellies are white. Most of the body is shiny and slippery, but it has a high ridge with scales on its back. It had the vague features of a humanoid, but its head was fish-like, with large, bulging eyes that never closed. On both sides of the neck, there are constantly quivering gills, and there are webbed hands and feet.
As they travel on land, they leap forward in a haphazard manner, sometimes on their hind legs, sometimes on all fours, with hoarse, high-pitched guttural voices...... It conveys all the dark feelings that his face cannot express.
Duan Wenyu's forehead and back were soaked with cold sweat, and his empty sleeves trembled in the night wind.
After the people of the Obsidian Temple realized that they had encountered the terrifying ancient god Hydra hidden deep beneath the "Ispartine", everyone had no hope of survival.
This creature, which only exists in myths and legends, is difficult for humans to compete with, they are gods!
All people's consciousness is invaded by one voice.
"Tiny reptile, do you think you can fight me? I am immortal, and sucking your brains dry is my gift to you! ”
Hydra's voice was like a death proclamation, constantly reverberating in everyone's minds.
It is a whisper that goes beyond the ordinary sense of the word, directly connects with the consciousness of living beings, and responds to the deep layers of the cerebral cortex, even if you don't want to hear it.
"Stop talking nonsense with them, hurry up and do your business!"
Suddenly, the chaotic consciousness of everyone in the Obsidian Hall was interrupted by another voice, and they only felt that their minds were clear, and their thoughts were pulled back by the voice of reality.
Duan Wenyu gasped heavily, blocking his vision with one arm, not for anything else, just because an aura shone in front of him, which was extremely dazzling.
He saw a huge black shadow trembling violently in the light, and Hydra's ugly, raised head was unwillingly lowered.
The light came from two hundred meters away, and a man was sitting on the top of a tall tree protruding from the mountain wall, holding a strong blowtorch in his hand, and it was the light that made Hydra lower his head!
"The Obsidian Hounds? Who are you, who are you, and why are you sitting here? Duan Wenyu avoided the light, squinted his eyes, and already recognized that it was a person, and the outfit was actually a member of the Obsidian Society.
The Obsidian Society is no stranger to the people of the realm, they are also a mysterious and powerful force in the realm, hiding on the edge of the dark realm, and at the same time an unknown evil organization.
The major sects have avoided it, the reason is that they are not pure-blooded Jidu people, they can be said to be descendants of the ancient Atlantean lineage, and their behavior is very strange and their methods are also very despicable.
What's even more terrifying is that they have touched almost all the forbidden things that the Holy City has set forbidden.
