Originally, Ryan's intention was to use the "crushing force" spell to forcefully compress the body of the hydra, just like how he dealt with the deep-sea squid in the underwater world. Unexpectedly, although the body of the hydra was under his magic There is a trend of shrinking in the lower body, but the degree of change in each part is different. There are "crackling" fracture sounds in the abdomen and limbs, and they quickly retract toward the inside of the body, while the back of the Hydra is only slightly After bending a bit, it still held on tenaciously. Even if its entire body was bent like a stretched crossbow, the Hydra's spine was still not broken.
"I heard that Hydras have to support the weight of nine heads, so their spines are tougher and stronger than other monsters. If you think about it carefully, it is true. Even if the endurance is not as amazing as nine times that of other monsters, , but five or six times is absolutely no problem." The dark elf maid sitting aside suddenly spoke. Although she did not clearly explain what she meant, Ryan guessed the intention.
"I also used the backbone of the Hydra to make a long bow, but the one we killed was not yet an adult and was far less powerful than this one." Ryan pointed out what the maid meant, and then he He stopped using the overpowering spell and switched to the finger of death spell of necromancy. However, the life of the hydra was actually quite strong. Three consecutive spells released by Ryan failed to separate its soul. However, The power of darkness still severely damaged the soul of the Hydra, making it dying.
Looking at the Hydra that had no strength to struggle, Ryan really wanted to get some more of that life essence, but such an action would definitely not be hidden from the eyes of Matron Herest. If they saw any clues, As for the impact on Allendor, it would be bad. Besides, Allendor was able to survive that kind of corrosion by chance because he probably relied on some kind of druid's secret method. It is unlikely that anyone else would be able to replicate the near miss at that time. process, so Ryan finally had to give up this plan. He stretched out a finger and lightly tapped the Hydra from a distance of dozens of meters.
Hydra, whose entire body was sunk deep in the mud, suddenly felt a sense of imminent disaster, and just wanted to turn around and run away. However, at this time, Hydra didn't even have the strength to blink, so it lay where it was. Waiting for the god of death's scythe to come back to him, harvesting its soul and leaving only a corpse. This is mainly because Ryan did not fully exert the effect of his "No Return" spell, otherwise the soul of the Hydra would and body will be completely wiped out from this world, leaving no trace.
After doing all this, Ryan stretched out and said to the dark elf maid beside him: "You have midnight, don't make it too bloody." The maid did not expect that Ryan actually left nine for herself. The corpse of the head snake was a legendary peak-level monster. Even strong players in the field such as Boyardinas and Aledia couldn't get it casually. A huge sense of happiness filled the maid's heart. At the same time, she still did not forget to look towards her real master, Mother Herest. After getting the latter's exact statement, several maids who had been unable to hold back immediately cheered, flying like flying. rushed out,
It’s no wonder these maids are so excited. Crossbows made with Hydra spines, even without any enchantments, can greatly increase their power, and are definitely stronger than what these maids are using now. With the legendary advanced strength of these maids , when fighting a powerful enemy, with one more well-made weapon or even artifact, the final outcome may be completely different. This is not to say that Mother Herest is very harsh on these maids. The equipment on the maid's body are all the most perfect embodiment of the dark elf's enchanting skills, but although the materials used are quite precious, they are definitely not comparable to the legendary peak-level Hydra that can only be encountered.
The movements of these maids were also swift. The skin, tendons and bones of the Hydra were quickly processed and put into storage pockets. Although the other flesh and blood were also valuable, they were not put away by the maids of a demigod king. In their eyes, everything was thrown into the lake. It only took them two or three hours to finish it all, and they still had time to take a nap.
When Ryan and the others were on the road again the next day, they seemed to be favored by the goddess of luck. After walking for two days in a row, they did not encounter a large group of monsters. Occasionally, one or two legendary monsters like the Lightning Cheetah and Gray-toothed Mammoth approached. , were all driven away by those dark elf maids. The monsters in the Forgotten Valley are certainly much stronger, but because they are surrounded by powerful enemies, they are not as brave as in other areas of the Lost Peak, so as not to be in the battle. Later, he was seriously injured and his strength was greatly reduced. Instead, he became the prey of other monsters.
For the legendary monsters that live in the Forgotten Valley all year round, Ryan and his party are not just some legendary existences that live in groups. If it weren't for the legendary peak-level Hydra like the one who died in the hands of Ryan, they thought they had the power to crush their prey, and they were greedy. Motivated by words, they attacked desperately; or the large group of magic wolves felt that they could rely on their overwhelming numbers to surround and kill them. Otherwise, as long as Ryan did not make provocations or pose to compete for territory, those legendary magic beasts Naturally, I won’t provoke them easily and let these inexplicable monsters pass through.
Following the leadership of the dark elf maid, Ryan and his group advanced towards the depths of the Forgotten Valley. However, at noon on the fourth day, they stopped because what stood in front of Ryan and others was a large sparse jungle. He is deeply afraid of the endless three- to five-meter-high jungle in front of him, because his magic eye spell detects that there is a lot of life in the depths of this jungle, but he can't see anything with his naked eyes, and According to the information that Mother Herest had received before, there is no such jungle on the route to the Mist Cave. These rhizome-like shrubs that are not very tall should have appeared on this land recently.
Just as Ryan and others were standing outside to discuss how to proceed next, an owl falcon about three meters long grabbed the prey and fell from the sky. It seemed that it was planning to find a safe place to stay and feast, but because of the There were Ryan and others on the outskirts of the sparse jungle, so the owl falcon made a slight turn and sank into the depths of the jungle.
Before the falcon could stand on the shrubs several meters high, the shrubs with pitted surfaces and many vines came to life. The vines as thick as an adult's arm moved rapidly like octopus tentacles, almost in the blink of an eye. A tight net was woven in the air, covering the owl falcon trying to spread its wings to escape. Then the motionless shrub branches twisted like arms, grabbing the owl falcon tightly. Live, followed by many vines that were much more slender than those woven into a net, quickly pierced into the body of the owl falcon. The latter only had time to let out a few mournful screams before all its flesh and blood was quickly sucked dry by the bush. Only a handful of feathers were left floating in the air and falling towards the ground.
After seeing this scene, Ryan's eyebrows jumped a few times. He finally understood why he could sense countless life breaths but couldn't see anything. It turned out that the breaths of the monsters were the sparse shrubs in front of him, just like this kind of plant. This was the first time for Ryan to see the Warcraft Lion, so he turned his attention to Mother Herest beside him, waiting for her to answer his questions.
Mother Herister naturally saw the scene that just happened. Compared to Ryan's perception with his magic eyes, as a dark elf with the talent of seeing in the dark, Mother Herister witnessed the bush eating with her own eyes. After seeing the process of dropping the owl falcon, she explained to Ryan: "I didn't expect these tree demons to actually take root and multiply in this area. This is a troublesome thing. It seems that it is impossible to enter quietly unless we find another way." Find other entrances, otherwise we can only clean this area thoroughly."
"Tree demon." Ryan had heard of man-eating vines before, but this was the first time he had heard of the tree demon, so he asked one more question.
"The tree demon is a special kind of monster. It looks very scary, but in fact it is not aggressive. As long as you don't enter their territory, you will never be in danger." After saying this, Mother Herest turned to The dark elf maid who led the team said: "Are you sure there is no deviation on this route? These tree demons did not exist in the images sent back before."
The dark elf maid studied it carefully and finally gave a definite answer: "Master, the memory crystals passed back by the teleportation magic circle did not contain the existence of these tree demons in front of me, and I suspect there seems to be some... Something is wrong, because according to my calculations, the entrance to the foggy cave we are looking for should be deep in this bush, so if we don’t look for other entrances, we have to force our way through.”
"So this dryad's territory was deliberately occupied by them to prevent anyone from entering it again." Matron Herister couldn't help but frowned. Such a large group of dryads was too big for her. It's just a small trouble at most. Why these dryads appeared here after the last dark elf adventure team entered the mist cave is a big problem. Mother Herest doesn't really believe in the coincidence. She stood After weighing it again and again, he suddenly waved his arm forcefully and said: "If someone has already entered first, we can't afford to waste our time anyway. Although this possibility is unusually small, we must guard against it, Boyadina Si, use forbidden spells to directly bombard this area, even if it alarms outsiders, you won’t care. If there are blind guys following behind, just silence them."
