Chapter Twenty-Three: The Hydra of "Death and Resurrection" Hüdra

Little Kratos' life is as calm and simple as ever. However, Zhang Shen saw something called "sorrow" from the words and demeanors of the adults in the village.

The Spartans were very good, not only to select Spartan warriors with extremely strict standards, but even ordinary Spartans, whose courage and ability were not inferior to ordinary nomadic warriors.

It is conceivable that what can worry these people is naturally not a simple trivial matter.

After some exploration, it turned out that a violent hydra suddenly appeared in the southern harbor, destroying the harbor, killing many people, and still lingering, interrupting normal commercial navigation. It was a very important commercial port, and the closure of these days has affected the village where Kratos lives.

"It's also a meeting with Kratos, so I'll help you." Zhang Shen thought about it, there was nothing to do, so he just wanted to be an unsung hero. Success is gone, and merit and fame are hidden.

…………

…………

Two days later, the seaport of Ladors.

The once prosperous harbor has become depressed under the threat of the hydra, especially near the ocean, where there is not even a single seabird except for snakes, insects, rats and ants, which live in dark corners.

The air was filled with a thick fishy stench, mixed with a strong cold breath, which was the smell left by the hydra. If you look closely, you can still see half-wet and half-dry traces on the destroyed buildings and the ground, and if you look at the shape, most of them are left by the body of the hydra.

From the mouths of the residents who were ruined but did not want to leave, it was learned that before Zhang Shen, several groups of people had come to eradicate the Hydra, including soldiers, rangers, knights, wandering mages and even heroic demigods, but unfortunately they all failed and became a meal in the belly of the Hydra.

Local elders speculate that this powerful hydra is most likely the legendary monster - Xudra!

The first hydra in the world, the first hydra in the world, is the son of Typhon, the ancestor of demons, and the power to manipulate venom, smoke, water, ice, silt, and other substances. Unlike its offspring, which can only live in swamps, Hurdra prefers to stay in shallow waters, and can even live and fight on land for a short time, which is all-round.

In the legend, Xudra was killed by the famous demigod hero and later Hercules with the help of the power of divine fire, and the locals speculated that this hydra was Xudra, in addition to the relevant abilities it showed, more from the mouth of the surviving snake warriors: the nine necks of the hydra were cut off by sharp weapons and burned by flames, which is very consistent with the legend.

"Hey, is this God's punishment, why does this legendary monster reappear......"

Zhang Shen looked at these locals kneeling on the ground and praying for the protection of the gods, and he didn't know what to feel in his heart.

There was a commotion, footsteps, horses' hooves, shouts, cries, and a mess. There were quite a few people approaching this way. Immediately people came into view, and the few people who walked in the front were obviously dressed more upscale than the surroundings, with delicate skin, exuding the majesty of being in the top position for a long time, and behind them was a group of dozens of soldiers in armor, and there were several prisoner carts in the middle, which were full of twenty or thirty people, desperately begging for mercy, crying, and describing miserable.

"What is this for?" Zhang Shen asked the old man beside him.

The old man showed a sad and helpless expression: "Sacrifice." ”

Sacrifice is the main means for the various races in this world to please and serve the gods, and sacrifices to monsters that occur at this moment also occur from time to time, after all, for weak mortals, powerful monsters are even more terrible than national race wars, because you have no possibility of victory at all. There are too few heroic demigods in the legendary story after all.

Zhang Shen was silent, standing aside and watching things develop.

They grabbed a man from the prisoner cart, hung him from the top of a long pole, and slowly controlled the pole to extend it over the ocean. Afterwards, several soldiers shot arrows at the hanging man. The arrows sank into the body, and the blood gurgled down into the ocean.

The atmosphere around him was so solemn that Zhang Shen could hear the breathing and heartbeat of the others. They were very nervous.

The sea stirs, and the waves rise.

With a strange scream, in the midst of the skyrocketing waves, the hydra appeared.

Dark cyan and blackened triangular scales, bucket-thick snake neck, dragon-like head, protruding sharp fangs, cold and violent snake eyes, as soon as the hydra appeared, there was a huge pressure that was violently pressed, and it was pervasive in all directions, and the feeling of being in a snake cave and being stared at by countless snakes made people tremble physically and mentally.

"Mortals, are you going to worship Uncle Xudra?" A cold and strange voice came into everyone's ears, and this hydra was indeed Xudra, the ancestor of the wise hydra, and the powerful monster in the legendary story.

In its eyes, in addition to the coldness and the brutality of choosing people, there are also human banter and ...... Inexplicable ...... Miss?

"Your Excellency Xu, Xu Da......" The man with the most colored clothes on his body forced a smile, and his body trembled slightly, "We are willing to offer flesh and blood sacrifices on time, please allow us to go to sea freely." ”

A snake's head stretched out violently, its mouth opened, and swallowed the still wailing prisoner into its belly, swallowing it directly. "It tastes good." The head in the middle actually grinned at the corners of his mouth.

"That ......"

Before the words fell, Xu Dra's other eight heads pounced together, eating all the people in the prisoner car in three or two blows.

It was extremely fast, and it took more than ten seconds for people to react, and I don't know who screamed, and Hula was about to run away.

！！！

The eyes of the middle head narrowed, and the pressure of substance was overwhelming, and those who wanted to run immediately became rolling gourds, falling to the ground one by one, their faces full of horror, and the last trace of resistance disappeared.

Killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, no one dares to move.

Xudra nodded with great satisfaction. After a moment, it spoke again.

"You have only one way out, believe in me!"

"From now on, I will be your God!"

Wow~~~

Even in the midst of Xudra's obscenity, people couldn't help but be in an uproar.

"Interesting, this snake actually dares to call itself a god, it's really not afraid of death." Zhang Shen watched the development of things with interest. He still has a certain understanding of this world, and in order to maintain his orthodox status, the Olympus god system is absolutely immortal for those who dare to claim to be gods, unless you kill the twelve main gods alone.

This unwritten rule should be clear to Xu Dela, who has lived for so many years.

"You blasphemous, you will be ...... by my lord," a gray-haired old man stood up suddenly, his eyes wide and he roared at Xu Dra, but before he could finish his words, he was swallowed alive by a snakehead.

"Lord Poseidon...... absolutely. Yes! ”

"My Lord Will Punish ......"

"Heresy! Blasphemous ......"

…………

…………

The guys who were almost scared because of Xudra's magic power a moment ago reprimanded Xudra one by one as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. Of course, they all ended up being eaten alive on the spot.

Xu Dra's eyes had long expected this scene, and his movements were so fast that nearly two hundred people were swallowed alive by it in a dozen breaths. These are staunch believers, whose belief in God has long been seared into their bones.

There are only thirty or forty people left on the field, almost all of them are soldiers and wandering soldiers, and the perennial life of licking blood from the knife edge makes their belief in the gods very weak, and they are very rational and do not come out.

"Very well, the stubborn guys have eaten it up, what about your opinions, I'd love to hear your opinions." Xudra's gaze swept over everyone on the field.

Zhang Shen could feel a trace of seriousness in Xu Dela's tone, this product was serious, not a pastime in "dining". Obviously, this snake is determined to oppose the Olympian gods and proclaim himself. I don't know where it came from.

"Think of it, you will be my first divine servants, and I will give you money, women, wealth, status, and power. As long as you offer your devotion to me. ”

"Think about it, do you want to continue this life?"

“……”

While everyone was restless and wavering, Xu Dra, very treacherously, sprinkled a handful of sweet dates after a head-on blow, and Zhang Shen also noticed that it was secretly using some kind of magic, and every word contained a silent seductive power.

I have to say that this snake is really not simple. In other words, it is not easy to live so long and have wisdom. This was the case with Xudra, as was Cerberus, who was killed by Zhang Shen in a humiliated manner.

In a moment, someone's will was finally broken, his knees weakened, and he knelt down towards Xudra and bowed.

The second, the third......

Puff puff, one by one, one fell to his knees and became the first believers of Xudra.

Soon, there was only one person left on the field, which was particularly eye-catching.

Xudra increased the coercion, but it was ineffective; Murderous intent began to condense in its eyes.

As soon as Zhang Shen's mind moved, the Gate of Truth appeared in front of him, and the power of the Truth Realm was released in a swirling manner, easily disintegrating Xu Da's coercion.

Compared to Cerberus, Hüdra was far behind.

"I don't have a crush on the gods of Olympus, and I'm not interested in what you're doing. I'm just a passerby, and I just happened to pass through here. Zhang Shen made his neutral attitude clear.

It's a pity that Xu Dra, who finally "came back", only had the idea of "I'd rather kill by mistake than let go" in his head, and launched an attack on him without saying a word.

However, what is surprising is that while attacking, this ferocious and vicious hydra actually divided a trace of his mind to create a storm and send his thirty or so "believers" away from here!

When did Hydra change its ways and become so kind? It's not scientific!!

When he opened his stomach, several huge snake heads surrounded themselves from all directions, their big mouths opened, and a strong fishy smell came to their faces, which made people suffocate and sick.
