If the blood chamber is the heart of Dawning Hills, then the council hall is its brain. Many of the Bloodline's important decisions were made in the council chamber. It is a rectangular hall on the first floor of the Aurora Villa, and on the floor in the center of the hall, a strange symbol is carved: a huge circle surrounds a "V", with a straight line running through it. It was a symbol of Orlando, the Elder of the Bloods. At the time of the birth of the Bloodline, each of the 12 elders had a different symbol of their own, but now only this symbol has survived.

On the high walls of the hall, there are nine terraces that are at least 3 meters high above the ground. The terrace built on the wall at the end of the room is higher than the other 8 terraces, which only the Bloodsuck Prince is entitled to climb, and the 4 terraces on the walls on either side, each corresponding to one of the Eight Sages. The terrace is not empty, and there are plush seats. Some of the terraces are already occupied, others are still empty. In what should have been a solemn council hall, there was a very snoring sound. On the second terrace to the right of the door, a man in a black robe was sleeping soundly on the handle of the chair. He was the source of the snoring in the audience.

The door to the council hall was pushed open, and a man and a woman strode in. Leon glanced at the black-robed man who was sleeping, and his eyes were full of freshness: "What a rare guest, even the legendary black fox is here"

The sleeping black-robed man didn't pay attention to him at all, and didn't even bother to move his eyelids.

Melissa next to her was the least experienced of the group, but she felt that the situation was unusual: "It seems that something terrible has really happened. ”

The two of them each came to the bottom of their own terrace, and easily jumped onto the terrace with the strong bouncing power of the blood clan, and sat down in their seats.

"Looks like everyone is here. The sound came from the terrace on the wall at the end of the council hall. The back of the chair, which had been facing everyone, turned around, and what appeared in front of the sages was the blood-sucking prince Dekra with a precious cigar in his mouth.

In Olopa, tobacco is not a luxury, and some farmers with better family conditions can buy their own pipes and stuff some cheap tobacco to smoke, but the expensive cigars that the vampire prince now smokes are only qualified to smoke by the royal family. Just a few days ago, a true king gave a whole box of these cigars to the Vampire Prince.

"There are still people who haven't arrived. The Grand Butler Uonic pointed to the empty terrace across from him, and pointed out to his face the Bloodsucking Prince's misspeech.

"You Shi still has a mission on the side of the blood chamber, so she won't be here for this meeting. The prince took out the cigar that had been in his mouth, spit out the smoke rings, and replied lightly.

Muffer, as always, took over a topic in the middle of the meeting, and then turned it into a cold joke: "The master didn't really throw that Korista into the blood cavity to strengthen it, did he? Sparrow, you have to be careful, maybe people will take revenge when they come out, and they will press you to the ground with one finger, and let you count how many earthworms are in the mound of the Blood Mountains." Hahahaha......"

"Bastard, you dare to say it again!" the teased sparrow was furious. If it were normal times, she would have rushed over to fight with Muffle, but since the punishment for the incident a few days ago had not yet been decided, she didn't dare to cause trouble.

And the troublesome Muffer was nostrils facing the sky at this time, smiling evilly.

Muffle's expression made the sparrow angry, and the veins on her forehead were furious: "What do you mean by this?

At this time, someone finally spoke for the sparrow: "I said Muffle, you don't want to bully people like this." Knowing that people have low self-esteem because of their small breasts, can't you let her go?" It was Leon who spoke, but he didn't sound like he was helping a sparrow.

Suddenly told of the sore spot, the sparrow jumped on the railing of the terrace, pointed at Leon and scolded: "What do you say? Who has small breasts? And this matter has nothing to do with the hair of the chest! I sue you, and you ......."

Looking at the sparrow's crazy appearance, Leon also laughed so evilly, he couldn't get used to the sparrow's usual arrogance. For the sparrow who was swearing non-stop, Uonik let out a sigh of "sigh" and shook his head helplessly. In the end, even Melissa couldn't help it, and interrupted Sparrow's scolding: "Can you stop for a while? This is the gathering meeting of the Eight Sages, not a game played by children." ”

"What are you talking about, child? I am older than all of you! Hear me clearly, you newcomer, I am the senior of all of you! You are not qualified to lecture me!" the sparrow scolded in an irrational manner, apparently forgetting the existence of Eurome.

However, Orome, who had been "overtaken" by the sparrow, was still looking at the book in front of him as usual, and the black fox still did not seem to have any intention of waking up from his sleep. What happened in the noisy council hall didn't seem to have anything to do with the two of them.

"Is there enough of the noise?" In the end, it was the Vampire Prince who put an end to the farce.

The Prince's voice was not loud, but it was extremely majestic, and the council hall immediately fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to the Prince, except, of course, Eurome and the Black Fox.

"There are intruders who have broken into the mountains. I'm sure you've all heard about it. The prince flicked the ashes of his cigar and looked at Ionik, who understood, and stretched out the middle fingers of both hands at the same time and made a few strokes.

The symbol on the floor of the council hall, which symbolized the blood-sucking elder Orlando, emitted a burst of dark red magical light, and a three-dimensional image immediately appeared in front of everyone, and it was a human army of more than 200 people, led by a silver-haired boy, a champion knight, and a fat mage.

"According to the information we have so far, these humans are planning to snatch Miss Korista. "Uonic is in charge of the affairs of the lodge, and he has the first say.

"Cut!" the sparrow gave a disdainful look, then turned her head away, and continued to bite her fingernails as if she hadn't heard. However, judging from the killing intent in her eyes, she would definitely find a way to kill the human girl named Korista.

"I can't help myself. Leon was full of contempt, and in his view, those were not living enemies, but nothing more than walking blood bags.

"Don't underestimate them. The interception forces sent out before were all defeated, and the lower blood clan was no match for them at all. Uonic replied truthfully.

"That's because it's daytime, and if you wait until night, hee-hee-hee......" It was the mufflor who lifted Jiro's feet to the railing, and he turned his gaze to the prince, "Master, I should be fine if I suck the souls of these intruders." ”

The prince was noncommittal about Muffle's appeal, and he still swallowed the clouds and watched the discussion of his subordinates.

"It is worth noting that now these intruders have reached the perimeter of the pond in Hydra. As Uonik explained, he made a few finger strokes in the air. The stereoscopic image extends further, and in front of this human army is a swamp-like terrain.

As early as Uonik spoke of "Hydra", several other sages invariably turned their attention to Orome. The latter also knew that it was time for him to take a stand, he slowly turned the pages, raised his glasses, and spoke unhurriedly: "Hmm. It's also time for my pet to be active, I can't keep it for so long. ”

The glass lens reflects cold light, but in fact, he cares more about the effect of real yàn.

"Tough battle, here?" Cassius looked nervously at the swamp in front of him.

The swamp is one of the least popular terrains in Olopa, and its water-filled quagmire is full of dangers beyond one might think.

"Stay where you are, and don't move. With that, Owen walked straight to the edge of the swamp.

He closed his eyes tightly and stood with his hands in his hands, his mental energy highly concentrated, as if he was communicating with something in the swamp.

As the minutes ticked by, Owen remained motionless in that position. It was past noon, and seeing the sun setting in the west, the feelings of the army had changed from nervousness and fear to irritability. Even the commander couldn't help but ask Cassius beside him: "How long is he going to stand there? Didn't he say that there was an enemy, where was it?"

"Shh......h Be quiet. Don't bother Owen, he's at the most critical point right now. Cassius replied mysteriously.

In fact, this is just Cassius nonsense, and even he doesn't know what medicine is sold in Owen's house. But perhaps by luck or coincidence, not long after Cassius spoke, Owen suddenly opened his eyes and jumped two steps back.

Owen's move immediately made the restless army nervous, and they all stood up for their combat posts, grabbed their weapons, and stood ready for battle.

The water in the swamp "poofed" and bubbled. Owen sneered, "I knew you couldn't bear it." ”

A thick column of water suddenly sprang up in the swamp of the "Porphyry ......".

The monster hiding in the swamp couldn't stand Owen's telepathy, and finally came out of its original form.

After the water column dispersed, what appeared in front of Owen was a giant snake thicker than a tree pole, completely black, at least 10 meters high out of the water, the snake's head was like the head of an iguana, and the gills had a circle of iguanas like umbrellas, glaring at Owen condescendingly. From the murderous eyes it looked at Owen, it could be seen that it had suffered a lot of sins in the illusion that Owen had created with his telekinesis.

"Woo za"!

The serpent roared, opening its mouth and biting down on Owen. Owen dodged and took a leap in the air, slamming his foot into the head of the giant snake below. The serpent's head was pressed into the soft earth under this double force, and Owen stepped on the snake's head hard, allowing the serpent's body to move constantly, but he could not pull its head out.

Just then, another column of water emerged from the swamp. A second serpent appeared in front of Owen, its appearance and size exactly the same as the previous one, the only difference was that it was yellow all over.

Owen dodged before the swung snake's head hit him, causing the two serpent's heads to collide together. But before Owen could stabilize his form, a third giant snake emerged from the swamp, this time dark green. Immediately after, red, grass green, brown, white, purple, and blue, six giant snakes appeared one after another. The black serpent that appeared first finally pulled its head out of the dirt. Nine giant snakes danced wildly, letting out a roar of "woo za", "woo za", and the whole swamp vibrate.

The soldiers were terrified. Although they had already been told that they were going to fight a tough battle, they had a certain amount of psychological preparation, but they thought that at most they would encounter powerful or more powerful vampires, who knew that they would have to fight against these monsters. At this time, Owen had already retreated to the side of the champion knight and Cassius, and he woke up the stunned commander: "Please give the order, let the brothers prepare to meet the enemy, and there can be no slackness." ”

The vibration of the swamp reached the top, and nine giant snakes rose up at the same time, showing the lower part of their bodies to these humans: it was a huge lizard body, thick limbs, strong and powerful long tails, nine giant snakes were attached to the neck of this lizard's body, they were not independent individuals at all, they were originally one and the same!

By now, everyone present knew what kind of monster they were fighting against. A powerful magical beast that wasn't supposed to appear in the Blood Mountains: the Hydra Lizard.
