"This is it." Ryan lowered his body and whispered to Seres,
"Shh." Seres made a silent gesture, and then lowered his voice and said, "This is all the area where it moves, but under normal circumstances, that guy will lurk at the bottom of the water."
Ryan used his eyes to carefully observe the situation in front of him. Less than ten meters in front of him was a huge swamp lake. The area of this lake was really not small. Ryan could not see the opposite side at a glance, and could only vaguely see through it. Through the fog, I saw a small island in the middle of the lake, about 500 meters away from the shore.
The biggest feature of the entire swamp lake is its tranquility. In other parts of the Cursed Swamp, you can always see various creatures and hear all kinds of screams, but here, Ryan can't see all the slightly larger ones. Warcraft, obviously this is a very abnormal situation,
Ryan knows that almost all high-level monsters have their own areas, and in the areas where they often move, other monsters will not break in at will, so this is one of the main basis for judging whether there are ferocious monsters nearby.
"Hydra." Ryan said to himself: "I remember the book said it was at least ten meters high. Is that true?"
"Of course." Seres said: "I have seen it with my own eyes. It only has three heads exposed, and the neck alone is five meters long."
"5 meters." Ryan's eyes tilted slightly, which was characteristic of him when he was thinking: "If you put it that way, wouldn't the height of this Hydra be close to 20 meters? It is really a huge monster."
"Oh, by the way, you said someone is here with the Song of Soul, then how can you confirm that the body is at the bottom of the lake." Ryan remembered something and asked: "What if that guy was eaten by Hydra?" If it falls, wouldn’t it be a soul-stirring song?”
"Don't forget, the Soul Song is a semi-artifact. It is almost impossible to be destroyed by creatures in this plane. It can usually only be sealed." Seres explained: "And I followed the thief here that day. , he had already swam to the small island in the center of the lake. I was about to shoot him with a bow and arrow, but a huge snake head suddenly stretched out from under the lake and bit off half of his body. I could see clearly. His baggage of soul-stirring songs fell to the bottom of the lake."
"I was shocked at the time, but I still shot arrows at the snake head." Seres recalled: "All three arrows hit it, but it posed little threat. Then I saw the snake head aiming towards me and spraying A thick fog came out, and then slowly swam towards me."
"What happened later?" Ryan listened with interest. He looked around vigilantly, and after finding no danger, he continued to ask, "How did you run away."
"I saw something was wrong, so I shot a few more arrows and then withdrew. The situation was indeed very dangerous at the time, and I'm still very scared when I think about it now. If I had reacted slower and couldn't avoid the thick mist it sprayed, I would have probably already been there by now. Rotten." Seres said: "The next few battles were almost the same pattern. We tried our best to contain the venom of the Hydra, but unfortunately even with the priests there, we couldn't dispel it, and there was the Hydra. Its entire body is not exposed at all, and at most it only has three heads exposed."
"In other words, it's not trying its best," Lane said.
"Obviously, as much as I hate to admit it, it's true," Serres said.
"Then you hire people everywhere and threaten to kill Hydra. Isn't this a joke?" Ryan said displeasedly.
"I didn't say I wanted to kill Hydra at first. It was you human mercenaries who slapped their chests and shouted like this when they saw the high price I offered. Later, I gradually got used to saying this." Seres defended: " At first, I just wanted to find someone to attract its attention, and then quietly sneak down to find the Song of Soul."
"Do you know where it is?" Ryan asked,
Seres said: "It should be down there. I can feel the magic fluctuations coming from the bow. Otherwise, how could I have followed the thief so far to here."
Ryan said: "So that's it, then how do you lure that big guy out?"
Serres said: "It's very simple. We hunt a few prey, peel off the skin and throw it on the water with blood. The smell of blood will attract it to come out."
"Then let's give it a try." Ryan said eagerly: "Now that we're here, we can't leave empty-handed. Besides, I haven't seen a powerful level 9 monster yet."
"Okay." Seres took out his longbow and nodded in agreement.
About two hours later, Seres and Ryan struggled to drag a huge python carcass back to the edge of the swamp lake. Ryan dropped the python carcass and gasped: "It's really heavy. This This guy weighs at least a thousand kilograms."
"Yes." Seres also said: "More than 20 meters long, at least there are that many. However, once you see the Hydra, you will think that this python is insignificant."
"It's that powerful."
"It's more terrifying than you think. Why don't you think that with the strength of my Moon Temple guard, how could I have wasted three years here? You have also seen the arrows I shot. Do you think that ordinary monsters will be hit by dozens of arrows?" Will you be indifferent?" Seres took out a dagger from his body and said, "Then Hydra can do it. It will bleed if it gets an arrow from me, but the injury will heal at a visible speed. Although its movement speed is It's very slow, but according to legend, it has nine heads. It is extremely powerful in close combat and has no blind spots. What's even more terrifying is the powerful regeneration ability I just mentioned. Of course, ordinary monsters will go crazy when they are injured, but their physical strength will also Slowly weakening, but the Hydra is not afraid, what you cut is not as fast as it grows.”
"Not only that, even the venom it sprays has some kind of magical regenerative ability, and ordinary methods cannot dispel it completely..."
"Ah, then the two mercenaries who stayed in my territory were poisoned by Hydra. No wonder Rocheld couldn't cure them no matter how hard he tried." Ryan continued,
"Actually, they shouldn't have been sprayed from the front. In fact, I saw a warrior in full armor being sprayed all over his head from the front. Then even the steel-forged armor on his body was corroded, and his whole person was quickly corrupted into a I shot about seven arrows in the whole process."
"Seven arrows." Ryan was shocked: "That doesn't mean it only takes a few seconds."
"Yes." Seres nodded and confirmed Ryan's words: "I said you come and help quickly. We need to peel off the skin of this python as soon as possible and throw it into the lake. If it takes too long, it will cause damage to the shore. There is blood all over the place, and when the time comes, the two of us will become bait."
