Chapter 140: Hydra
"This is it?" Ryan whispered to Serres.
"Shhhhh ”
Ryan carefully observed the situation in front of him with his eyes, less than ten meters in front of him was a huge swampy lake, the area of this lake is really not small, Ryan couldn't even see the opposite side at a glance, he could only vaguely see through the fog that there was a small island in the middle of the lake, about 500 meters from the shore.
The biggest feature of the entire swamp lake is that it is quiet, in other places of the cursed swamp, there are always all kinds of creatures and hear the screams of the shape **, but here, Ryan he can't see all kinds of slightly larger monsters, obviously this is a very abnormal situation.
Ryan knew that almost all high-level demonic beasts would have their own territory, and in the area where it was often active, other demonic beasts would not intrude at will, so this was one of the main bases for judging whether there were fierce demonic beasts nearby.
"Hydra. Ryan said to himself, "I remember the book said it was at least ten meters tall, is that true?"
"Of course. "I've seen it with my own eyes, and it's only three heads, and the neck alone is five meters long," Serres said. ”
"5 meters?" Ryan looked at his eyes slightly slanted, which was characteristic of his thoughts, "If so, then wouldn't this Hydra be close to 20 meters tall? ”
"Oh, by the way, you said someone was here with the Song of Soul Suppression, so how can you confirm that the body is at the bottom of the lake?" Lane remembered something, and asked, "If that guy was eaten by the Hydra, wouldn't the Song of the Soul Suppression?"
"Don't forget, the Song of the Soul is a demi-artifact, and it's almost impossible to destroy by creatures on this plane, and it's usually just sealed. "And when I followed the thief that day, he had swam to the island in the middle of the lake, and I was about to shoot him with a bow and arrow, when a huge snake's head suddenly stretched out from under the lake and bit him off half of his body." I could see clearly that the baggage on his body containing the song of the soul had fallen to the bottom of the lake. ”
"I was startled, but I shot an arrow at the head of the snake. "Three arrows hit it, but it didn't pose much of a threat," Serres recalled, "and then I saw the snake's head spew a thick fog out of my side and slowly swam towards me." ”
"And then?" said Ryan, who looked around vigilantly, and after noticing no danger, continued to ask, "How did you get away?"
"I saw that something was wrong, and after firing a few more arrows, I withdrew, and the situation was indeed very dangerous at the time, and I am still very scared when I think about it, if I had been slow to avoid the thick fog it spewed, I guess it would have rotted by now. "The next few battles were almost the same pattern, and we tried our best to contain the venom of the Hydra, but unfortunately we couldn't dispel it even if the priest was there," Serres said. In addition, the entire body of the hydra was not exposed at all, and at most it only showed three heads. ”
"So it's not doing its best at all?" Ryan said.
"Obviously, although I hate to admit it, it is. Serres said.
"And you're still hiring men everywhere threatening to slaughter Hydra, aren't you kidding?" said Ryan, displeased.
"I didn't say I was going to slaughter Hydra at first, it was your human mercenaries who patted their chests and shouted when they saw that I was paying a high price, and then I got used to saying this. Seres argued, "I was just trying to get its attention at first, and then sneak down to find the song of the soul." ”
"Do you know where?" Ryan asked.
"It should be down there, I can feel the magic fluctuations coming from the bow," Seres said. Otherwise, how could I have tracked that thief all that far here?"
Ryan said, "I see, then how did you lure that big guy out?"
"It's very simple, we hunt a few prey, peel them off and throw them on the surface of the water with blood, and the smell of blood will attract them," said Serres. ”
"Then let's give it a try. Ryan said eagerly: "Since you are here, you can't go home empty-handed, besides, I haven't seen a level 9 powerful demonic beast yet." ”
"Okay. Serres pulled out his longbow and nodded in agreement.
After about 2 hours, Seres and Ryan struggled to drag the carcass of a huge python back to the edge of the swampy lake. Ryan dropped the python corpse, gasped and said, "It's really heavy, this guy is at least a thousand kilograms!"
"yes. Seres also said: "It's more than 20 meters long, at least there are so many." However, as soon as you see the hydra, you will think that this python is insignificant. ”
"Is that powerful?"
"It's more terrifying than you think, how can you think that with the strength of my Moon Temple guards, how can you spend three years here? You have also seen the arrows I shoot, do you think ordinary demonic beasts will be indifferent when they are hit by dozens of arrows?" The hydra can, it will bleed when it hits me with an arrow, but the injury will heal at a visible speed, although its speed of action is very slow, but the legend says that it has nine heads, melee combat effectiveness is extremely strong and there are no dead ends, what is even more terrifying is the kind of powerful regeneration ability I just said, the general monster will be crazy when injured, but the physical strength will also slowly weaken, and the hydra is not afraid, you cut it not as fast as it grows!"
"Not only that, but even the venom it spews has some kind of magical regenerative ability, and ordinary methods can't dispel it clean......"
"Ah, then, the two mercenaries who remained in my territory were poisoned by Hydra, no wonder Rocheld's efforts could not cure them. Ryan said.
"Actually, they shouldn't have been sprayed head-on, in fact, I saw a warrior in full armor being sprayed all over his head by the front, and then even the armor forged of steel on his body corroded, and the whole person quickly corrupted into a meal of white bones, and I shot about seven arrows in the whole process. ”
"7 arrows?" Ryan was taken aback, "Doesn't that mean it's just a few seconds?"
"Yes," Seres nodded in acknowledgment of Ryan's words, "I said you come and help, we need to quickly peel off this python and throw it into the lake, if it drags on too long, the shore will be covered with blood, and then the two of us will become bait." ”
