For thousands of years, there have been no more than ten recorded sightings of the Hydra lizard by human adventurers, and the knowledge of the aristocratic scholars about the Hydra lizard mainly comes from the information provided by the Church, which is also very limited and lacks verified knowledge.

Victor is the top powerhouse in the human kingdom, with the strength to fight against legendary creatures, and during his visit to the El Cult, the Holy See took the initiative to open the Ivory Sacred Fortress to him, compiled from the ancient Chosen ones, including the Hydra lizard. Comparing the information about the Hydra in the Will of the Alchemy Militia, Victor dared to say that he knew more about this ancient legendary beast than any scholar.

The Hydra Lizard, a giant monster intertwined with myth and reality, a direct descendant of the ancient giant beast King Kurosawa, a top-level legendary creature, and a lord-level beast species with an elemental affinity between earth and water.

The earth element, which represents the laws of matter, gives the hydra lizard two bloodline talents: resistant skin and strong physique, and the water element, which represents time and life, gives it bloodline talents such as transcendent regeneration, poisonous breath, and elemental stagnation, as well as the terrifying realm of poison.

That's right, the hydra lizard has the power of the realm, and its domain laws are extraordinary, and it has the power to change the environment.

The monster atlas compiled by the Ivory Sacred Fort shows that the swamp vegetation in the area where the hydra lizard operates is extremely luxuriant, and small life such as small fish, shrimp, and shells also grow very fast, providing abundant food for fish and predators. In the cold winter months, the area around the hydra's nest does not freeze, and a large number of capybaras come to feed for the winter. It's no wonder that the swamp half-drake tribes compete with each other for a territory next to the Hydra lizard.

The hydra lizards, which are highly affinity to the water element, hold the realm of the laws of life, and they are the core of the swamp ecology, a phenomenal transcendent existence.

However, Victor does not agree with the ancient wizard's assertion that the hydra lizard is a beast species, according to the theory of the secret method of the spiritual bloodline, the spiritual will determines the law of the bloodline, and the bloodline inherits the ancient will, and the hydra should be able to awaken the ancient memories in the bloodline and light up the light of wisdom.

However, if the Hydra is wise, it does not match the observations of ancient wizards, and the Alchemy Militia also believes that the Hydra is a giant beast. Moreover, the wisdom inheritance theory of the Soul Blood Secret Method will form a paradox in the body of Hydra.

With an average lifespan of over a thousand years, hydras are almost impossible to kill in swampy environments with abundant water elements, and unless someone can cut off its nine heads in a short period of time, it will soon grow new heads. In fact, Hydra can dive into deep water to hide when it is badly damaged, and no one can do anything but wait for them to regenerate and rejuvenate.

Once the swamp beasts with long lifespans and powerful powers that can change the environment have intelligence, will other intelligent species still have a way to live?

Theories and facts contradict each other, not necessarily because the theory of the secret method of the soul and blood is wrong, but more likely that an important link in the puzzle of knowledge is missing.

Knowledge is power, and this sentence has practical significance for Victor.

Due to the slow upgrade of his Human Bloodline Talent Tree, the expansion of the Elven Bloodline Talent Tree was limited. For example, the Sword Saint Dravine's Arrow of Flowing Fire Arrow is a domain that Victor dare not touch. Soul boiling is already the limit of the Raging Wind Sword Master, and it is not difficult for Victor to break through this limit, but he knows very well that the Sun Elf bloodline will be completely awakened because of this, completely replacing his human bloodline, and he will gradually lose his self-will and become the emperor of the elven race, a realistic incarnation of the sun god Frey.

The extraordinary powerhouse of the human realm recognized the power of Randall's Sanctuary power, but Victor thought that his name did not live up to his name, his spiritual attributes reached the standard of Sanctuary, but the means of breaking the law were still limited. Victor estimated that his extraordinary talent was similar to that of the queen of the elves, and the two sides should be on the same level.

Since he has chosen the Mind Master as his own path, tapping the potential of the Human Blood Law is the only way for Victor to advance, and the richer his knowledge accumulation, the more the Mind Master will become perfect.

For such ancient neighbors as the Hydra lizards, Victor has coveted their mysteries for some time. Unfortunately, Victor and Sylvia are not sure that they will be able to hunt down a transcendent beast with many servants in the Swamp.

Crossing the Swamp this time, Victor hoped that he would encounter a Hydra lizard, or rather, Victor refused to leave in the territory of the Half-Dragons, and also had the idea of attracting the Hydra lizard.

The reason is actually very simple, the Raging Wind Sword Master and the four wurmians stopped near the Hydra Lizard's lair, it must know and react, if the Hydra Lizard did not have the ability to perceive danger, they would have been extinct long ago, and would not have survived from ancient times to the present.

The hydra lizard reacts to danger in two ways: either dive into deep water to avoid Victor's snooping, or come out to drive away powerful intruders.

So, when Victor sensed Hydra, he ran over with Meg Fiawen, who was of the blue dragon blood, to see Hydra and asked Nelson to stay at camp and wait for him to return.

Just as Victor can't help the Hydra lizard in the swamp, the Hydra lizard can't do anything with the Raging Wind Swordmaster, their movement speed is too slow and slow for Victor.

The petrification talent is the only supernatural power that can limit Victor by the hydra lizard, however, the petrification talent belongs to the freezing law of the water element after all, and Victor's mental attribute is as high as 40 points, he maintains the state of the molten heart, and the spiritual attribute can be maintained at about 45 points, and the use of soul boiling and Miller's magic ring can stabilize the mental attribute of 52 points, and the possibility of the hydra lizard freezing Victor to run the fire element is very small.

The worst situation is nothing more than breaking through the soul boundary and completely transforming into a sun elf, then it will be the turn of the Hydra lizard to flee for his life, and the Furious Wind Sword Master will not be killed by the "bulky and slow" Hydra anyway.

Bringing the dragon maid Mei Wen with her is just in case, Mei Wen's attack power and maneuver speed are not much worse than Victor's, the hydra lizard really wants to attack Victor, it has to petrify two targets at the same time, and the difficulty is doubled.

The first face-to-face encounter with the Hydra lizard, Victor was well prepared, but the appearance of the giant beast was still beyond his expectations. Not only does it awaken ancient memories, but the 80-kilometer-diameter water mist field is also an extraordinary ability that is not recorded in monsterology.

Victor's perceptual area is only 20 kilometers away, and within this area, he can summon the wind elemental to strike any target with his will. The mist unleashed by the Hydra Lizard was twice as large as the realm of the Tempest Swordmaster, and despite the single effect of the Misty Realm, it did carry out the will of the behemoth.

If you look at this Hydra as an opponent, it is undoubtedly the strongest opponent that Victor has ever met. Its sheer size alone already gave people a deep sense of powerlessness, and Victor felt that the "Soul Splitting" spear that could cut through everything was too small.

Fortunately, the hydra lizard did not show strong hostility towards Victor, and could even be said to be friendly, but how to communicate with this big guy has become the most difficult problem at present.

The followers I lead are not there to please you...... Victor secretly slandered and secretly had a headache. Even if different types of wisdom can communicate, it is difficult to understand each other's will due to their different thoughts and different concerns, just like two parallel lines, which cannot intersect, and the dialogue is also the same as a duck and a duck, and it will not have any meaning.

Calling Victor the heir of the sun god, Hydra offers him an attitude of kindness, respect, and joy, and its wisdom apparently comes from the ancient memories of the King of Kurosawa. If Victor had awakened the ancient memories of the Sun Elves, he would have been able to fight the swamp beasts and know how to deal with them. However, Randall is an impostor Sun Elf, as long as he has the extraordinary power of the Sun Elf and rejects the ancient will of the Elven Race, of course, he has nothing to talk about with the Hydra Lizard.

If Victor doesn't respond properly and provokes the Hydra lizard, he will miss the opportunity to learn the mysteries of the other party through communication.

Victor deduced hundreds of communication plans in just one second, and after careful consideration, he finally said "displeased": "I am not an elf, I am a strong man of the human race, Lord Victor Winndell...... Why are you attacking me and my slaves?"

With Victor's questioning words, the turbulent air currents turned into a roaring wind, tearing through the curtain of mist and cutting white marks crisscrossing the calm surface of the lake.

Feeling the anger and warning of the elven king, the emerald and pure snake eyes revealed a hint of confusion, and asked in a soft and long voice, "Human......?"

Victor's dark golden eyes were as bright as fire, and he said coldly: "Son of the King of Kurosawa, the master of the Great Swamp, please stop attacking my followers immediately, otherwise I will defeat your servants before you reach the battlefield, and then leave the Great Swamp with my followers." ”

The Hydra was obviously a little anxious, his huge head lifted slightly off the water, and said, "I don't understand why you're angry?" The flesh and blood of the slave nourishes the swamp, and the swamp gives birth to new life, this is something to be happy about, you are willing to participate in the slave blood battle, I don't mind, please don't rush out of here...... I recently gained the memories of my ancestors, and I want to speak to you, fellow of the ancient bloodline. ”

Victor quietly breathed a sigh of relief, his judgment was correct, the giant beast in front of him was a special case in the hydra, I don't know what caused it to awaken the ancient memories in its bloodline, light up the light of wisdom, and thus break free from the instinctive shackles of the beast species.

One of the most striking differences between the intelligent species and the beastly species is the strength of curiosity. Only beings who are full of strong curiosity about the unknown can understand the connection between the world and themselves, which is almost the starting point of intelligent life's pursuit of self-improvement. If the hydra lizard awakens ancient memories, it should first confirm those memories, which requires the exchange of information with the outside world. Of course, it can't rationally analyze and record its own needs from a third-person perspective like Victor, it's just an instinctive sense of loneliness, desperate to find someone to talk to.

Victor won't forget the old ogre led by Randall and the Elder Bear of the Giant Wood Forest, who, despite their ill-intentioned intentions, are also chattering chatter.

Compared to the two cunning and insidious intelligent species, the hydra lizard appears to be of pure character. On the one hand, it is strong enough, and the people it talks to are strong enough, and it is difficult for each other to threaten each other, so there is a basis for communication, but there is no point in fighting, and on the other hand, it has only recently transformed from a beast species to an intelligent species, and its mind has not been polluted by profit and loss.

At least in the swamp, the hydra doesn't need to be tricked to live a good life.

Using Victor's psychic powers, X-3 quickly analyzes the information confided by the Hydra while creating a virtual personality to deal with the Hydra according to a predetermined strategy, trying to dig out more valuable mysteries from its mouth.

"Hmph, you haven't said your name yet, I can't trust you. Also, your other eight heads are hiding in the water, trying to break through the ice and attack me?" Victor took two steps back alertly, as if ready to disengage.

"Wait, Elven King......"

His Highness Randall said angrily, "I am the Great Lord of the Race. ”

"The Human King, wait. The Hydra lizard changed his tune in time and explained, "I don't have a name myself, but my minions call me Polo Stark Daru...... As for me hiding the rest of my head in the water, I think the human king misunderstood that we Hydra only stick out our heads when we fight. ”

Victor regained his footing, raised the "Soul Breaker" and "Shadow" in his hand to assert his opinion, and said, "In the eyes of us humans, hiding a weapon behind us represents hostility. Out of respect for you, I put my weapon where you can see it. If you want to communicate with me, please stick out all nine heads for me to see. After that, you can re-bury your head in the water as you wish. ”

The swamp beast's emerald snake eyes shone with a pair of emerald streamers, and after thinking for a moment, he finally said, "Okay, I hope my head won't scare you." ”

Eight huge heads rose from the calm surface of the lake, without a splash or a ripple, like the head of a snake lizard poking out of the void, giving people a feeling of unreality, and there was a shudder from the heart, as if seeing the god's mansion.

The dignified Fury Wind Sword Saint would not be surprised by the nine huge heads, he knew that this was the Hydra Lizard's delicate control of the water element. Sylvia can also be able to tread water without waves, but her range is a little too small compared to the size of the Hydra lizard.

Has this swamp beast mastered the power of the water elemental to such an extent?

What really surprised Victor was that the eyes of the eight snake heads were hollow and dead, without the slightest luster of life.

"Another Hydra lizard challenged me to compete for my mate. In the heat of battle, it tore eight of my heads apart, leaving me severely damaged beyond the Swamp to repair. But I escaped from under its fangs. Hydra said with some smugness, "I am dying, and my soul is united, awakening the memories of the ancestral gods in the depths of my blood, and my opponents, along with my spouse, are still rude beasts." ”

Nine huge and hideous snake heads looked down at Victor, setting off his incomparably small, but Victor's heart did not have the slightest fear, X-3's virtual personality hid a trace of his killing intent, and asked calmly: "Lord of the swamp, I'm curious about how many years you have lived?"

Perhaps it was the light of wisdom that affected his keen wild instincts, but Hydra sank his five heads into the surface of the lake and replied with his vital head: "I have seen 1,122 heavy snowfalls, and before that, I was in a state of confusion and did not know what I was. I want to share my joy with the wise human king, and I want to know more answers. ”

Victor shook his head and said, "There is no being that can tell the Lord of the Swamp what the meaning of life is, and the answer to this question can only be found by yourself." I would like to share my experience with the Lord of the Swamp...... If you get your minions to stop attacking my followers, we can talk for a long time. ”

Without hesitation, Hydra said, "I refuse...... Bloody battles are part of the swamp, the flesh and blood of the losers return to the swamp, the swamp gives birth to new life, and we Hydra cannot go against the will of the swamp. ”

An elegant smile appeared on Victor's handsome face, and the moment his eyes turned cold, the four heads of the hydra disappeared from the surface of the lake, and the only snake head said, "My life is coming to an end, and my soul can still be transferred to any head." The King of Men is here to talk to me, and I tell the other minions to stop advancing and not participate in that bloody battle until our conversation is over, or the minions near the island will decide the winner?"

Victor casually handed the "Soul Breaker" and "Phantom" to Mei Wen, the dragon maid next to him, motioned her to step back a distance, and said to the Hydra: "Okay, I follow the will of the Lord of the Swamp, is the Lord of the Swamp willing to let my wind surround one of your dead heads?"

"Whoa", the water splashed, and a snake head the size of a shack lay on the ice, and the glorious snake eyes were facing Victor.

The hydra lizard said happily, "Very good, this is the communication I want, let's start quickly, I can't wait to feel the mystery of the wind." ”
