11. Larger than Hydra

Russell and Subway in their dreams.

The two finally met the hydra, which was guarding the golden apple, and fought with the hydra with a weapon in hand.

Compared to the previous dragon, the Hydra is undoubtedly much weaker, and the two of them, who were strengthened in the dream, fought with the Hydra.

"Taste this."

Subway, with the sword the king had just given him, easily cut off one of the heads of the hydra.

"It's useless." The eight-headed snake laughed, and two more heads grew from the blood-red severity.

The Ten-Headed Serpent sneered, "Don't waste your efforts. ”

At the same time, Russell also used his own blade to cut off the head of the Ten-headed snake, causing the hydra to let out a cry of pain.

But immediately, the eleven-headed snake launched an even more violent attack on the two:

"Still don't understand? Your attacks only make me stronger. ”

Because there were two more heads than at the beginning, the Eleven-headed Serpent's attack was undoubtedly more rapid.

In the fierce battle, while dodging the attack, Subway turned his head and asked Russell:

"Russell, I have a mentally retarded problem in mind.

"Our mission is to defeat Hydra. If we defeat the eleven-headed snake, then are we defeated the hydra? ”

Russell blocked the eleven-headed serpent's blow and thought seriously for half a second:

"I think so. Although the legend of Hydra is circulating around the world, in most languages, the name of Hydra does not contain the number '9', just as medium-rare steak does not contain the number '5'. ”

Subway was relieved.

Faced with the stormy onslaught of the eleven-headed snake, the two fought and retreated, trying to fight back. But for every head that is cut off, two more heads grow.

"I can't help myself." Looking at the two humans who were becoming more and more difficult to support, the thirteen-headed snake laughed, knowing that his victory was only a matter of time.

Russell tried his best, grabbed the loophole and slashed out two swords, cut off the monster's two heads, and shouted:

"Pause! I have a question! ”

"What for?" Eleven-headed asked.

"Dear Eleven-Headed Snake, may I ask if there is any negative effect on you to have more heads after being cut off? For example, the physical exertion is huge, or the life span is reduced, or it is very painful. ”

"Of course not, stupid human. This kind of damage I can recover in the blink of an eye. The thirteen-headed serpent scoffed.

"So will your extra heads, those extra heads that are more than nine, last forever, or for a longer period of time? Or do they only exist for a minute? Russell asked again.

"More than nine extra heads, which can last at least a day, then slowly wither. So it's useless to procrastinate. The fifteen-headed serpent said, "What the hell do you want to say, human?" ”

"Okay." Russell took two steps back, stuck his sword into the ground, and spread his hands:

"Then I don't understand, since you'll grow more heads and become stronger after being attacked. And the damage you take will heal quickly due to your regenerative ability.

"So why are you like an online game boss, waiting for us to attack you, and then buffing yourself when you are hit.

"Obviously, nine heads are not your strongest state. You can obviously bite off your head in advance, let yourself grow hundreds of heads, and make this super enhancement mode your normal. ”

The fifteen-headed snake fell into deep thought.

What to do?

There seems to be a point in what this human is saying.

"Well, human, uh, I may have to admit that there is a certain merit in your proposal. No, no, no, I definitely don't mean to praise you for being smart. The fifteen-headed snake stepped back a bit.

"In that case, I'll try your suggestion."

After saying that, the fifteen-headed snake bit the snake's head with its head and bit off its own three heads.

"But don't expect me to release water on you for that. I'm only going to get stronger, tougher to deal with, and I can tear both of you dolls to shreds in a second. The twelve-headed serpent said.

……

Inside the office.

The teachers looked at each other.

"So, why doesn't Hydra take the initiative to bite off his head and let himself grow more heads?" A teacher asked.

The three giant beasts usually sleep in the secret room, guarding an extremely secret seal in the academy. Even most of the academy teachers had never had much contact with the three giant beasts before, and their understanding was very limited.

"I think it's because Hydra isn't smart enough. It's just that in the dream world, because it has established a psychic connection with the candidates, its intelligence has been raised to a level close to that of humans, and it can finally understand this suggestion. Professor Opal explained.

"And after that? I mean, when he wakes up from a dream, will this hydra remember this train of thought? ”

"I think so." Professor Opal said.

The black cat black amber crawling on the desk, full of worry:

"That's a good thing, but ......

"Does this help Russell and Subway to clear their game?

"The Hydra they will face after that will only be stronger and trickier!"
