The snake's head fell under the crisp blade, and the remaining dozen or so hairs hissed. Then, under the watchful eyes of Cui Zuojing and Dong Zheng, two new heads squirmed and grew out of the smooth fracture.
not this!
Cui Zuojing screamed badly. According to ancient Greek legends, the head in the middle should be the immortal head of Hydra, but how—
One after another, Hydra was completely angry. Fourteen long snake necks fluttered in the air. Cui Zuojing didn't have time to adjust his body to dodge. The snake neck whip slapped him on the abdomen, and directly whipped him all over the body. fly out!
clap la la-
The young man flew upside down into the mangrove forest. After breaking many branches, his momentum eased, and he was finally forced to stop. He was stuck in the treetops, and his face and the back of his hands were scratched with many small wounds.
Dong Zheng climbed the reeds on the slippery bank and made a difficult detour near Hydra. The monster was attracted by Cui Zuojing, but he did not notice that another person was approaching quietly.
Dong Zheng observed the behemoth not far away. He stared closely at the third head on the left of Hydra. Since the first attack, this head has been hiding in the back without any action. When Cui Zuojing attacked. At the time, the other snake necks seemed to be vaguely protecting it, and they didn't seem to want it to suffer any harm at all.
The huge snake head had sharp horns, and the scarlet eyes kept spitting out snake messages, hiding among the many snake heads. Dong Zheng silently found a stone from his side, looked in the direction, and threw it hard.
He aimed very well, and just before the stone was about to hit the snake's head, the other head next to it turned around immediately, blocking the insignificant blow.
All of a sudden, all heads turned towards Dong Zheng.
Dong Zheng turned his head to hide, Cui Zuojing grinned and stood up from the forest, holding back the pain. He clenched the Tang knife again, and when he saw Hydra staring at Dong Zheng, he cursed inwardly, and took out a white paper from his pocket and threw it over. , trying to re-attract Hydra's attention.
However it didn't work.
The water monster was still staring at Dong Zheng. He hid behind a mangrove tree, but the snake head swooped in directly, biting the red wood into pieces, and the stench of sharp fangs rubbed Dong Zheng's arm over!
In desperation, Dong Zheng rolled on the spot. These small river banks fixed by the roots of mangrove trees were very steep. Dong Zheng stretched out his hand to grab the reeds and tried to fix his figure, but the cluster of plants was under the momentum of his rolling down. He was uprooted directly and fell into the swamp below with Dong Zheng.
The deep silt under the water seemed to have a kind of magic power, and a strong suction force sucked Dong Zheng's feet firmly, unable to break free for a while.
Dong Zheng didn't struggle in panic, his body was slowly sinking, his whole body fell forward, his upper body lay on the shore, trying his best to slow down the speed of his fall, and at the same time, the information was transmitted to Arabidopsis in the center of the core.
—The third from the left is its immortal head!
Cui Zuojing immediately rolled onto the bank and charged towards Hydra. Dong Zheng vigorously threw out a jasmine flower in his pocket. The flower fell into the swamp, and it was nourished and started to grow immediately. The roots were immersed in the silt of the water, and some white flowers emerged from the green branches and leaves, exuding a fragrant aroma.
The snakeheads who came towards Dong Zheng immediately attracted their attention, turned directly, and bit down the entire Jasmine plant in one bite.
Dong Zheng, who had originally felt the stench in the mouth of the snake, finally got a chance to breathe for a moment. He crawled along the embankment with both arms, trying to pull up the lower body, which was gradually sinking into the swamp.
At this time, Hydra, who was temporarily attracted by [Little Jasmine], swallowed the whole plant and looked at Dong Zheng again.
The blade strikes.
The blood spilled, and it fell on the swamp, causing the mud bubbles to stir up.
Dong Zheng's head was covered in blood. He didn't have time to take care of that much. He turned his head and had a panoramic view of everything in the dark swamp.
In the center of the inner core, the leaves and tender stems of Arabidopsis were already wilted, and the poisonous mist no longer affected Cui Zuojing all the time.
Hydra's huge body, flapping wings, and the head that was split in half were powerless to fall, because the old head could not grow new temporarily, and the rest of the snake neck fluttered wildly, all of which were really reflected in Dong Zheng's eyes. Turn it into a data stream and rush into the kernel.
Something is building fast.
Countless phantoms flashed in front of him, and he saw the trajectory of the interwoven snake neck movement, and the pale yellow lines were looming.
Dong Zheng didn't know what it was, but there was a voice telling him: Do it!
As soon as Dong Zheng's thoughts moved, the path was immediately passed into Cui Zuojing's mind. The young man was about to land on the nearby shore. He clenched his teeth sharply and put the knife on the mahogany, swaying and tossing in a circle, temporarily Turn around and leap onto Hydra's back.
In an instant, the long tail with sharp bone spurs was thrown out of the silt without warning, and directly hit the spot where Cui Zuojing intended to land!
Cui Zuojing broke out in a cold sweat. If he didn't follow the information from Dong Zheng just now and couldn't dodge in time, he would definitely be injured this time.
Too late to rejoice, Hydra's successive attacks followed, Cui Zuojing jumped on the spot, jumped on the fourth head on the right according to the instructions of the yellow line in his mind, grabbed the hard horns protruding on the snake's head, and used the running Chong Shi swung the whole person and threw the Tang Dao directly out!
The black Tang knife accurately passed through the slit between the three snake heads, and at a very tricky angle, chopped on the heavily protected third snake head on the left.
After a short period of time, the Slaughterer's power still remained, and the knife slashed into the snake's neck, almost severing its entire head!
"Ow!"
The screams pierced the eardrums, Dong Zheng's brain was stunned, his eyes were black, and his ears seemed to bleed. He insisted on continuing to strengthen the flow of the visual port, and tried his best to feel the unprecedented mysterious feeling in his heart, and passed everything that he could "see" to Cui Zuojing through the core.
Not caring to be excited about the blow, Cui Zuojing fell on the embankment, Gululu rolled a few times, and finally slammed into the mangrove tree before finally stopping.
Cui Zuojing struggled to hold up his body, and he fainted in waves. The poisonous mist had completely penetrated his body. The blow just now used his last strength.
Dong Zheng finally pulled his lower body out of the swamp, dragged the mangrove roots and reeds, and climbed to the shore.
Hydra, who received a fatal blow, was doing his last dying struggle, blood and muddy water splashed with the agitation, Dong Zheng raised his hand to protect his head and face, hid on the other side of the embankment, and leaned against it.
He closed his eyes and sank into the core. At this time, the condition of this grass was very bad. The small leaves showed poisonous dark purple, and they were weak and weak.
Dong Zheng didn't know what to do, so he could only turn out a kettle to water it, and immediately summon Cui Zuojing, who was lying on the other side, back to the prisoner space.
Cui Zuojing's face was pale, and he did not forget to say: "The knife..."
"I'm going to look for you. You are poisoned. Take a good rest first. After we get out of here, we will go to uncle immediately." Dong Zheng said quickly. He was also very uncomfortable. Although he did not exercise as much as Cui Zuojing, the poisonous mist he inhaled was not too much, but it was still enough for him to eat a pot.
He tried his best to breathe smoothly and searched the core, hoping to find a solution to the poisonous mist entering his body.
More than ten minutes passed, and Hydra's struggle gradually weakened, only to hear the indistinct screams in the chest of the water monster.
The strength of this Hydra is far less than what is said in the legend. After all, the box is not intended to let everyone die in it. The monsters born will definitely consider the strength of the pilgrims, so that everyone will not be helpless.
Otherwise, with the current Dong Zheng and Cui Zuojing alone, it is impossible to solve it like this.
When it was completely quiet, Dong Zheng, who had slowed down a bit, got up. He climbed up the embankment. The huge water monster had lost the ability to move. The third head from the left that was cut off by Cui Zuojing failed to grow again. The blood was oozing out, and only crimson flesh could be seen.
At this moment, Hydra's huge body has all appeared in the swamp, filling the entire waterway.
The faint fluctuations came, and Dong Zheng felt it with his heart, and the source seemed to be Hydra.
Confirming that it was indeed dead, Dong Zheng climbed on its back, followed the wave, and found the third head from the left that it fell.
In the mouth of the hideous snake head, the dark red crystal was glowing faintly.
Dong Zheng picked it up, wiped it on his pants, put it in his pocket, and searched again, but found nothing useful.
The fluctuations on the red crystal are similar to the wooden box originally found in the power cabin. Since it was obtained by killing Hydra, it will definitely be a useful good thing.
Dong Zheng climbed up the embankment again, the boat was gone, and the swamp was only halfway through. He still didn't know how to get out.
Since Hydra's death, the poisonous fog in the forest has dissipated a lot. The fog does not seem to be deadly, but only affects his mobility to a certain extent. He still has some strength.
Dong Zhengchao glanced in the prisoner's space, Cui Zuojing was lying on the bed resting, the boy was motionless, but according to the situation of Arabidopsis thaliana in the center of the inner core, there should be no serious problem, just inhaled too much poison and his body became weak and his physical strength was exhausted. .
Dong Zheng had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He closed the spiritual link between the two and sighed secretly, feeling uncontrollable guilt.
Every time he encountered danger, Cui Zuojing faced the enemy head-on. Although he was the most powerful of all, he was injured for the second time in this box.
Without Cui Zuojing, their team would have been severely damaged long ago, and there were very few people left alive, but now, the young man has suffered more hardships that he should not have.
He didn't have to.
This realization made Dong Zheng a little uncomfortable. He first entered the pure white world, and when he signed a blood contract with Cui Zuojing, he never had a similar mood. At that time, he was full of thoughts on how to keep himself and Linhai alive.
What has changed
Dong Zheng was very clear in his heart.
In the real world, there are always various things at work flooding his life, filling up all the time, leaving him no time to think about emotional things.
In addition, realizing that because of his different sexual orientations, it may be difficult to find a sincere and suitable partner, Dong Zheng simply did not waste time in dating.
But in the pure white world, everything is different.
There are life-and-death coercion here, crises are looming, and tomorrow's sun may not be seen at any time, but because of the only goal of survival, it makes many things much simpler.
So just like what Cui Zuojing said to Allen at the time - people who have died once, why do you still care about so much.
Maybe... he could just follow his heart and try to take that step
