A team was walking through the miasma-filled jungle of the Cursed Swamp. At the front of the team was Elf Wind Archer Seres. Cassano's archer instructor still wrapped his whole body in a cloak. It is possible not to reveal his identity. In fact, until now, the only people in Cassano who know Seres’ true identity are Ryan and a few others. After all, the elves have not appeared on the mainland for many years. Ryan and Seres I don’t want to be too ostentatious,
The road in this swamp is the most difficult to walk, and you will often fall into the quagmire as soon as you step on it. However, Farasi's expression is quite relaxed, because she has blessed herself with a levitation technique, which keeps her floating and following the team. Inside, the mud and sewage from the ground did not splash on her boots at all;
The hardest part of the whole team was the ballista team at the end. It was quite troublesome for the heavy ballista to walk among the muddy swamps. A ballista cart required at least 6 people to push and pull it, but Ryan The entire adventure team did not have 180 people, so Ryan had to spend a lot of his own mana to add levitation skills to those ballista carts, so that only 2 or 3 people could push the ballista carts floating on the muddy road.
When the sun rose above their heads, Ryan and his party also arrived at the destination of their trip, an open space about 2 kilometers away from the central lake. The terrain here is higher and the ground is quite hard. There are also large trees nearby. It's a good place to ambush Hydra;
The matters of setting up camp will naturally be handled by his subordinates. As for matters such as security, with Seres, Alando and the others there, there is no need for Ryan to worry about it, so Ryan took Faras and slipped aside, while Adela Then he patrolled around with a tacit understanding, expressed condolences to the sergeants, and assumed the responsibilities that should have been borne by Ryan.
Of course, Ryan and Faras are not staying together for the sake of romance. His biggest reason is to communicate more with Faras. After all, Faras's strength is completely different now from before. The two of them need to get to know each other as much as possible. Only with the strength can we cooperate as closely as possible, just like Ryan and Alando had to practice fighting every day. The tacit understanding between them was developed through countless practices.
By the time night fell, Adela had arranged everything properly. In addition to the camp being set up, all the ballista vehicles were already in place, and Sophie personally designed and protected the ballista positions. The large mechanical trap was set up. Just seeing the huge sharp gun blade with an inverted edge made Adela very looking forward to seeing what would happen when Hydra stepped on it.
After a night's rest, the entire members of Ryan's adventure team had regained their energy. To be on the safe side, Adela once again checked all the arrangements on her side. After confirming that everything was perfect, she asked Ryan and Sere to Three people, Si and Allen, embarked on the road of "bait".
Similar to what he did half a year ago, Allendo 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 in the lake, using the strong smell of blood to attract Hydra appeared. Seeing the bright red blood slowly spreading out with the rippling waves of the lake, Ryan and the other three people suddenly became nervous. After all, they were about to face an ancient monster with terrifying powers. Restorative Hydra,
Suddenly, countless ripples appeared in the relatively calm lake water, and then the lake water began to rise upwards. From a distance, it seemed as if it was expanding. Under the gaze of Ryan and the others, the rising lake water began to fall, revealing the A huge giant snake head opened its mouth greedily, drank the lake water covered with the blood of the python, and then let out a loud cry,
Next to the rising snake head, several lakes began to rise upward. Soon, all nine snake heads of the Hydra were revealed. One of the snake heads directly bit a part of the python's body fragment. Swallowing hard, the other snake head stretched out unconvinced, as if intending to snatch food from its "companion". The other snake heads also started to look for food, except for the middle one. The snake head remained motionless, watching the surroundings vigilantly.
"This is the time." Ryan said softly, reciting the magic spell decisively, and Seres also rounded the long bow, targeting the snake head in the middle of the Hydra. Because Ryan and the others The purpose was to lure the Hydra into his ambush, so Ryan did not use the most powerful magic. He did not think that he could kill the Hydra with one blow with all his strength. After attacking with all his strength, he would probably kill the Hydra. After hurting the opponent, it caused the opponent to shrink back to the bottom of the lake. That would be troublesome, so Ryan just quickly released his original magic "Continuous Fireball" and smashed seven fireballs emitting red light at the target.
The hydra discovered Ryan's attack immediately. All it had to do was to stretch out the snake head next to it to block the snake head in the middle, and the seven fireballs that Ryan smashed over were themselves They attacked seven different snake heads respectively, so in addition to the snake head acting as a human shield that received two fireballs, the other five snake heads of Hydra that were looking for food were also hit one after another.
After a series of loud noises, the part of the Hydra's snake head that was hit by Ryan's fireball immediately ignited a raging fire. This magical flame clung to the skin of the Hydra like gangrene and burned, and soon A large area of Hydra's skin was burned, and an unpleasant burnt smell filled the air.
"Pu Chi." The arrow from Seres's sneak attack also hit the right eye of a snake head of Hydra. Compared with the pain of flesh and blood that could be endured before, the Hydra, which lost one of its snake eyes, let out a painful cry. Howling, even if it could slowly recover the injured eye, it would still take a long time. This anger of being provoked by the prey was mixed with the anger of physical pain, making the Hydra immediately move towards the shore. Seres swam over,
Seeing that he had successfully aroused the hydra's anger, Seres whistled at Ryan, turned around and ran to the pre-arranged ambush site. However, Ryan was still uneasy and threw it at the hydra. After firing a few fireballs, he quickly retreated side by side with Allendo.
Another roar of Hydra came from behind. Ryan turned around and looked back in the midst of his busy schedule, and saw that the huge Hydra had completely climbed onto the land, but the face of one of its snake heads was burning. A raging fire broke out, and the snake's head twisted painfully and smashed into a forest, hoping to extinguish the flames on its head. Unfortunately, the large trees it knocked down had no trace of anything except countless scars on the snake's head. Have the effect of extinguishing fire,
While running side by side with Ryan, Alando patted Ryan's shoulder with enough time, 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 towards Allendo. His running speed did not slow down, but he threw a few fireballs behind him while shaking his hands. However, this time the Hydra reacted faster, and its body fell to the ground. After a pause, the snake's head lowered downwards, avoiding Ryan's attack, but it could not avoid Seres's well-timed arrow.
It's just that this time, Seres didn't have a name to kill. His feather arrow was just embedded in the thick skin of Hydra. When Hydra got up again and chased Ryan and the others, the feather arrow hit He landed on a big tree and was immediately broken and fell to the ground, but the arrowhead was completely embedded in the body of the Hydra.
"Ouch." The nine snake heads of the Hydra roared at the same time. The powerful sound waves actually uprooted a dozen large trees around it, which shocked Ryan and the others who were attracting monsters in front, but Ryan also I had already considered the situation where the Hydra would go crazy after being angry, and kept a distance of about fifty meters from the Hydra, so that the Hydra could see its prey so close, but it could never catch up.
The distance of 2 kilometers was covered in only ten minutes. In fact, Ryan and the others did not run in a straight line, but deliberately hid here and there to lure the Hydra to the bait. The angry Hydra did not know how to hit it along the way. How many were broken and how many swamp creature nests were destroyed. It even trampled on a spider's nest while chasing Ryan, and those poisonous spiders that were only level 4 or 5 couldn't help but were kicked by Hydra. Treaded flat,
Seeing that he was almost leading the hydra into the pre-arranged ambush circle, Ryan began to pay attention to the nearby bushes. Soon, he saw the eye-catching mark that he had made an appointment with Adela in advance, which also meant that the entire hunt The plan to kill Hydra has entered its second stage.
A slight wave of magic was felt by Ryan, and he could even see the land directly in front of him beginning to "grow". Of course, this was not Ryan's illusion, but the "Earth Wall Technique" released by Farasi. With Farasi's current size, The power at the top of the magister's head, the earth magic she released has a range of influence that exceeds twenty meters.
Ryan and Allen stepped hard on the ground, and used this force to rise into the air and cross over the earth wall that had grown more than 1 meter. Then the "growth" speed of the earth wall accelerated a lot. When the earth wall When Hydra rushed in front of it, the earth wall was already 4 meters high.
A 4-meter high wall is enough to block the movement of human warriors, but to the huge Hydra that is more than ten meters high, it is just an ordinary obstacle, so the Hydra didn't care at all and just ran into it. The earth wall condensed by Farasi's magic directly opened a gap, and the pursuit continued.
