The burning flames illuminated the entire demon tower, and in the firelight, we were stunned to see nine giant snakes standing upright. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

They picked up the remains of the human-faced spiders on the ground, and we could even hear the sound of these hideous and terrifying snakes, their sharp teeth biting the corpses, and in a moment's effort, the remaining human-faced spiders in the demon tower had been devoured by those terrifying snakes.

We're getting to see the whole thing, but that's not what scares us the most.

At that moment, I couldn't tell if it was one or nine.

The nine snake heads actually grew on a huge snake body, the largest in the middle and four snake heads on the left and right, the left one was black, the right one was red, and the huge snake head in the middle was red and black.

Hydra!

And this is not an ordinary hydra, the head of the snake on the same snake can grow back even if it is cut off, this is a monster that will never want to be killed.

The human-faced giant spider is not worth mentioning in front of the hydra, and it doesn't even have the ability to resist, it is the real overlord of Penglai, the demon king, no wonder it will be left in the demon tower.

With the blazing flames, we also saw the whole picture of the demon tower, in this spacious and empty tower, in the darkness that the light could not reach, dry bones piled up, filled with a strong blood and stench.

Presumably, this place should be the lair of the monster in front of you, and it is not difficult to see how many monsters have been devoured by it from those dry bones.

"What kind of monster is this?" Tian Ji asked in horror.

"Hydra has appeared in many cultures, but it is just a legend, and now I basically think it is a made-up monster, but I didn't expect this creature to really exist." Xue Xinrou said.

"Hydra in other places, too?" Gong Jue asked.

"Yes, the most famous of them all, the Hydra, should be the one that was killed by Hercules." Xue Xinrou nodded and told us that Hercules was a legendary hero who killed the Hydra in his twelve feats.

The rumored Hydra is so venomous that the water in the swamp has been foul for many years, turning the surrounding ground brown, and it often devours passers-by and livestock.

Hercules was ordered to be killed, and he lured the Hydra out with a rocket, and a great battle ensued between the two sides, and every time Hercules cut off one of the Hydra's heads with his sword, another new head was born.

In the end, Hercules cut off the eight heads one by one, and then struck off the main head in the middle with a huge club, buried it in the earth, and pressed it with a large stone, so as to eradicate this scourge.

"In legend, the hydra is an unkillable monster that will be reborn again and again unless all nine heads are cut off at the same time." Xue Xinrou said.

"Chop nine at once?" Ye Jiuqing smiled bitterly. "Then let's not go out, just stay here and wait for death, don't say nine, I'm afraid I can't cut down even one."

"This hydra left in the demon tower is much more powerful than the rumored one, not only is it so huge, but it can also shoot flames, there must be a reason why this thing is placed here." Gong Jue said.

Just when I was terrified, suddenly in the light of the fire, I saw a boxy shadow in the mountain of corpses, and the fire did not seem to illuminate the place.

I rubbed my eyes and looked at it for a long time, in the shadows there was a step leading to the bottom of the demon tower, I remember that before coming, the two old men told us that the gods are in the demon tower, presumably these craftsmen's understanding is a little biased.

They built the Demon Tower, but the god was not in the Demon Tower, but under the Demon Tower, and the Hydra stayed in the Demon Tower to guard the entrance.

I was so excited that I raised my hand and pointed out of the gap.

"Into the ......"

My mouth was covered by Ye Jiuqing, probably too excited, the voice was a little loud, and I was immediately noticed by the hydra, and suddenly the nine snake heads stood up, and the eyes showed fierce light and looked around, and the huge snake body wriggled towards us.

We held our breath and hid inside the stone platform, and outside there was a creepy and continuous low roar, and the letter of the hydra seeped through the cracks in the stone platform, emitting a heavy smell of blood.

We quietly retreated, the saliva dripping on the ground in front of us, and suddenly the stones were corroded, if they dripped on the body, I am afraid that the skin will be broken in an instant, this hydra can not only be reborn and spew flames, but also extremely poisonous.

Fortunately, the monster didn't notice us inside the stone platform, and swam back to the mountain of bones with its huge body, and then curled up together, and as the fire gradually extinguished, the entire demon tower returned to its previous darkness, and the hydra became the huge statue again.

And the Hydra is entrenched in an impartial position, right on the steps leading to the bottom of the Demon Tower, and it seems to have been guarding this entrance every step of the way.

"I didn't think there was this thing in the demon tower." Gong Jue lowered his voice with palpitations, and whispered while guarding through the gap in the stone pillar.

"Entrance! I just saw the entrance......" I said halfway through when I suddenly realized something, and my mouth slowly opened in shock. "If these monsters were all created, and the hooked snakes, Gu eagles, and human-faced spiders we saw before all appeared in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, then the nine snakes should also be recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas."

"There is also a hydra in the Book of Mountains and Seas?" Xue Xinrou asked.

“…… The minister of the co-worker said that the Liu family, nine heads, to eat in the nine mountains. Where the willows arrive, it is Zexi, and its blood is bloody, and it can't be ......planted with grains," I replied in a low voice. "The monster's name is Sang-ryu."

Everyone else looked at me in amazement, Xiangliu is a fierce beast in the Book of Mountains and Seas, with a nine-headed snake body, countless cannibals, a huge body and extremely poisonous, its venom can kill any bird or beast, and this fierce beast can control the flames, everywhere it goes, not a single piece of grass is born, and no armor is left.

"Legend has it that Xiangliu is an ancient demon beast, born at the time of the beginning of heaven and earth, when the aura of heaven and earth is thick and substantial, I don't know how many strong spirit beasts and monsters are produced, Xiangliu is in the deep mountains and Daze, and the vitality of yin and yang is staggered, and it is born." I said as I looked through the gap at the huge shadow outside. "Xiangliu is a hydra body, each head is a life, the body is strong and abnormal, it is an immortal body, and there are nine lives, as long as one life is still there, it can be recovered."

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas should exaggerate Xiangliu's ability, but this creature was obviously created, and the problem now is that we must reach the bottom of the demon tower, but that means we have to come into contact with Xiangliu head-on." Xue Xinrou said.

"With this thing's ability to torture the human-faced spider just now, I'm afraid we won't be able to get close to its body." Tian Ji sighed and said.

"We're all here, there's no turning back, and besides, the more time we delay here, the more time passes outside than we imagined, and we have to find a way to get through it anyway." I say.

"Just a few of us still want to compete with Xiangliu? It doesn't even need to breathe fire and poison, and we can't bear it when its body is pressed down. The palace lord's voice was full of helplessness.

"One thing descends one thing, the hooked snake is suppressed by the Gu eagle, and the human-faced spider lives by preying on the Gu eagle, this is a complete biological chain, interlocking and mutually restrictive, this phase willow is so strong, is there no weakness?" Xue Xinrou said thoughtfully.

"Didn't you see the mountains of bones piled up in this demon tower just now, it must be all the remains left by birds and beasts that accidentally broke into here, the Moon Palace Nine Dragons Boat is under the demon tower, and the one guarding the entrance should be the most ferocious monster in the entire Penglai, if there is a biological chain......" I said with a deep breath. Then this Xiangliu should also be the top predator. ”

"I can't wait like this, I have to think of a way, it's better to fight than to be able to do nothing." Ye Jiuqing whispered.

"Any rumors are well-founded, since in the legend, cutting off the nine heads of Xiangliu at the same time can get rid of this fierce beast, maybe this is Xiangliu's only weakness." Xue Xinrou said seriously.

"Xiangliu is standing in front of us, like a mountain, even if you want to cut off its head, you have to reach it first, didn't you see the consequences of the human-faced spider just now, cutting off Xiangliu's head?"

are already trapped in Penglai, I don't care about confronting this Xiangliu head-on, in fact, the result is obvious, we don't even have the slightest chance of winning, the scene of Xiangliu abusing the human-faced spider is still vivid.

Unless we kill the nine heads of Xiangliu at the same time, once this fierce beast is provoked to fight back, even this spacious demon tower will be caught in the intertwining of poisonous water and flames in an instant.

Originally, we could still count on the necklace, although it is still unclear what this necklace does, but the spar inside obviously has extremely powerful abilities, even the behemoth snake does not dare to approach.

I looked down at the necklace around my neck, and I don't know why, after entering Penglai, the halo that the necklace had been emitting suddenly disappeared, and I opened the necklace, and the spar inside was also dim, just like an ordinary stone.

"I can't count on this thing." I looked at Xiangliu entrenched outside, took a deep breath and said. "If I'm really going to fight once, I have another way."

"What's the solution?" They asked in unison.

"We were chased by the face spider, fled to the demon tower and hid here, but we were not discovered by Xiangliu, which shows that this beast's hearing is not too sensitive." I say.

"You, what are you going to do?" Ye Jiuqing seemed to understand my thoughts.

"The entrance is next to Xiangliu, this fierce beast is guarding every inch, to get to the bottom of the demon tower, no matter what, you have to pass through that passage, since Xiangliu is not sensitive to hearing, and now he is asleep, let's quietly walk over."

"What if, what if, when we come to us, we are noticed by Xiangliu?" Xue Xinrou looked terrified.

"The result is the same, we came here to find a place for the Moon Palace Nine Dragons Boat to moor, or go back and spend thousands of years here like those old men, not to mention that those hooked snakes will not let us go again this time." I said in a firm voice. "Staying here is a dead end sooner or later, since it is a death horizontal, it is better to fight."

"Chao Ge is right, we are facing Xiang Liu, it is impossible to fight hard, this time, we can only gamble on luck." Tian Ji nodded and said.
