A team walked through the miasma jungle of the Cursed Swamp, and at the head of the team was the elven wind archer Seres, the Cassano archer instructor still wrapped his whole body in a cloak, trying not to reveal his identity as much as possible, in fact, until now, the entire Cassano knows the true identity of Seres only Ryan and a few other people, after all, the elves have not appeared on the continent for many years, and Ryan and Seres themselves don't want to be too ostentatious.

The path in this swamp was the most difficult to follow, and it was often a deep quagmire when one foot stepped on it, but Farass looked quite relaxed, because she blessed herself with a levitation technique, which kept her floating and followed the group, and the sludge and sewage from the ground did not splash on her boots at all.

The hardest part of the whole team is the ballista team at the end, the heavy ballista walking between the muddy swamps is quite troublesome, a ballista cart needs at least 6 people to push, but Ryan's entire adventure team does not have 180 people, so Ryan has to spend a lot of his own mana to bless those ballista carts with levitation, so that only 2 or 3 people can push the ballista carts floating on the muddy road.

When the sun rose overhead, Ryan and his party also arrived at the destination of the trip, a clearing about 2 kilometers away from the central lake, where the ground was high and hard, and there were large areas of trees nearby, which was a good place to ambush Hydra.

As for the matter of setting up camp, naturally there are subordinates to deal with it, as for the matter of vigilance, there are Ceres and Alendor who are there, and they don't have to worry about Ryan, so Ryan pulled Faras and slipped aside, while Adela was very tacitly patrolling around, consoling the sergeant, and taking on the responsibility that should have been borne by Ryan.

Of course, Ryan and Farath didn't stay together to fall in love, his biggest reason was to communicate with Farath more, after all, Farath's strength is completely different from before, and the two of them must be as familiar with each other's strength as possible in order to cooperate closely to the greatest extent, just like Ryan and Alendor have to practice fighting every day, the tacit understanding between them is cultivated in countless exercises.

By the time night fell, Adela had already arranged everything properly, except for the camp was built, all the ballista trucks were already in place, and the ballista position was protected by a large mechanical trap designed and arranged by Sophie herself.

After a night's rest, the entire Ryan adventure team regained their energy, and Adela checked all the arrangements on his side again to be on the safe side, and after making sure that everything was safe, Ryan, Serres, and Allendo embarked on the road of "bait".

Similar to what he did half a year ago, Alondo hunted a huge python, then dragged the python's body to the lake where the hydra was hiding, and then soaked the python's blood into the lake, using this strong smell of blood to attract the hydra to appear. Watching the bright red blood slowly spread out with the rippling waves of the lake, the hearts of Ryan and the other three people also became nervous all of a sudden, after all, they were about to face an ancient demonic beast, a hydra with terrifying recovery ability.

Suddenly, the still-calm water of the lake began to ripple, and then the lake began to rise, as if it had swelled from a distance. Under Ryan's gaze, the rising water began to fall, revealing a huge snake head, which greedily opened its mouth and drank the water from the lake with the blood of the python, and then let out a loud cry.

Next to the snake head rising, there were several lakes that began to rise, and soon, the nine snake heads of the hydra were all revealed, one of the snake heads directly bit part of the python's body fragments, swallowing hard, while the other snake head stretched out as if unconvinced, as if intending to snatch food from his "companion", the rest of the snake heads also began to forage for food, only the snake head in the middle was still still, vigilantly watching around.

"This is the time!" Ryan said softly, reciting the magic spell decisively, and Seres drew his longbow and aimed at the head of the snake in the middle of the hydra. Because Ryan's purpose was to lure this Hydra into his ambush circle, Ryan didn't use the most powerful magic, he didn't think that he could kill the Hydra with a full blow, and after attacking with all his strength, it was likely to hurt the other party, so that the other party would retract to the bottom of the lake, which would be troublesome, so Ryan just quickly released his original magic "Lianzhu Fireball" and smashed seven fireballs emitting red light towards the target.

The Hydra discovered Ryan's attack at the first time, and all it had to do was to stretch out the snake head next to it to block the front of the snake head in the middle of it, and the seven fireballs that Ryan smashed over were themselves attacking seven different snake heads, so in addition to the snake head that was used as a meat shield received 2 fireballs, the rest of the 5 snake heads that were foraging for food were also hit by that.

After a series of loud bangs, the part of the Hydra's head that was hit by the Ryan fireball immediately ignited a raging fire, and this magical flame attached to the Hydra's skin like an appendage and burned, and soon scorched a large part of the Hydra's skin, and there was an unpleasant smell of burning in the air.

"Flutter!" Serres's sneak attack arrow also hit the right eye of one of the snake heads of the hydra, compared to the flesh pain that could be endured before, the hydra who lost a snake eye let out a painful howl, even if it could slowly recover this injured eye, it would take a long time, this anger provoked by the prey mixed with the anger of body pain, so that the hydra immediately swam towards the shore Serres.

Seeing that the success had aroused the wrath of the hydra, Serres whistled at Ryan, turned around and ran towards the pre-arranged ambush site, but Ryan was still not at ease, and threw a few more fireballs at the hydra, and then retreated quickly side by side with Allendo.

There was another roar of the hydra behind him, and Ryan turned his head to look back in his busy schedule, and saw that the huge hydra had completely climbed onto land, but the face of one of its snake heads was on fire, and the snake head twisted painfully and smashed into a forest, hoping to extinguish the flames on his head, but unfortunately the large number of trees that it knocked down did not have the effect of extinguishing the fire at all except for adding countless scars to the snake's head.

While running side by side with Ryan, Alendor patted Ryan on the shoulder a few times, and then lowered his voice and said, "Awesome, your fireball is so annoying, I believe it will be a nightmare for all your enemies." ”

Ryan smiled and nodded at Allendo, running at a speed that did not decrease, but threw a few fireballs behind him with a flick of his hand, but this time the hydra reacted faster, its body hit the ground, and the snake's head was also lowered down, avoiding Ryan's attack, but it couldn't dodge one of Serres's just right feathered arrows.

Only this time Seres didn't have a name, his feathered arrow was only embedded in the thick skin of the hydra, and when the hydra got up again to chase Ryan and them, the feathered arrow hit a large tree and was instantly broken and fell to the ground, but the arrow was completely embedded in the body of the hydra.

"Whew!" The nine snake heads of the hydra roared at the same time, and the powerful sound wave actually uprooted more than a dozen distant trees around it, which startled Ryan who led the monster in front of them, but Ryan had already taken into account the situation that the hydra was mad after being angry, and kept a distance of about fifty meters from the hydra, so that the hydra saw the prey that was close at hand, but it was never able to catch up.

The distance of 2 kilometers is only ten minutes to run, in fact, Ryan They did not run in a straight line, but deliberately hid to lead the Hydra to the bait, along the way the angry Hydra did not know how many hits, how many swamp creatures were destroyed, it even trampled on a spider's nest when chasing Ryan, and those highly venomous spiders who were only level 4 or 5 could not help the Hydra by it by its foot.

Seeing that the Hydra was almost about to be introduced into the pre-arranged ambush circle, Ryan began to pay attention to the nearby bushes, and soon, he saw the striking mark that he had made with Adela in advance, which also meant that the entire Hydra hunt plan entered the second stage.

A slight fluctuation of magic was felt by Ryan, and he could even see the ground in front of him beginning to "grow", of course, this was not Ryan's illusion, but the "Earth Wall Technique" released by Faraz, with the power of Faraz at the top of the current Grand Magus, the range of influence of this earth magic she released had exceeded twenty meters.

Ryan and Alendor stepped the ground, and with this force, they rose into the air, crossing the earthen wall that had grown more than 1 meter, and then the "growth" speed of the earthen wall accelerated a lot, and when the hydra rushed in front of them, the earthen wall was already 4 meters high.

The 4-meter-high wall was enough to block the movement of human warriors, but it was just an ordinary obstacle for the huge hydra more than ten meters high, so the hydra didn't care at all and directly crashed into it, knocking the earthen wall condensed by Faraz with magic directly into a gap, and continued to pursue.
